Author's notes: This is the second half of the previous chapter. Unless otherwise stated, most chapters in 30 Days of Hannibloom are meant to stand alone.

Later, in Hannibal's bedroom, Alana languished naked on his bed, Hannibal massaging her feet. "Where do you want me to kiss you, Ms. Bloom?" he asked, addressing her as he had when she was his pupil, and as he did when he felt playful, teasing. She loved it.

"Hmm…" she pondered, as she wriggled her feet in his hands.

"How about your toes?" He leaned down and placed a sloppily wet kiss on her big toe, then took it in his mouth and sucked.

Alana shrieked and squirmed away from him.

"You're ticklish! How delightful."

Alana propped herself up on her elbows to gaze down at Hannibal. Her mouth quirked, she said, "You know where I want you to 'kiss' me, Hannibal."

"Your calves, my dear?" He moved his mouth up her leg, placing delicate kisses followed my nips on her calves. "Or how about your thighs?" His mouth continued up her left leg, leaving behind a trail of wet marks. He bit near the top of her thigh, then switched his ministrations to her right thigh.

"Hannibal, please," she begged.

He leaned forward on his haunches and blew lightly on her mons, then placed a kiss right at the top where her stomach met it, her barely-there stubble scratching his lips. Then he ran his tongue up to her belly button, where he swirled his tongue. Alana giggled.

He was now firmly pressed against her as moved his mouth to her ribs (ticklish here too, she giggled again) and then to her breasts. She felt his erection pushing against her leg. He ran his tongue up her right breast to her nipple. He then took the hardened nub into his mouth and began sucking, first gently, then roughly, then gently again. He switched to her left breast, kissing and sucking. This time, he added in biting, starting gentle, then getting rough, so rough that she cried out. Oh, how she treasured it when he lost himself in her, letting his darker side take over.

He continued switching between her breasts, unable to focus on one for long before tasting the other. She pressed herself up against him, letting him feel the wetness between her thighs. He responded by pressing his erection harder against her, and groaning around her nipple. She gasped at the amazing sensation.

Hannibal pulled away abruptly, and she frowned. He pressed a wet, quick kiss to her lips and then spoke. "We've played enough, haven't we, my dear? Turn over."

He pulled further away from her, balancing on his knees at the end of her bed. She turned over beneath his appraising gaze. He spanked her behind, and said, "On your knees."

She shivered in anticipation and followed his direction, getting on her knees. A moment later, she again felt his warm breath between her thighs. This time, he didn't tease any further. He put his mouth on her lips, running his tongue up her lips to her clitoris. When he flicked his tongue against her, she moaned. He licked the nub, feeling it harden and enlarge against his tongue. Then he took it in his mouth and gently sucked.

Alana cried out, "Han-. Han-!"

Her pussy dripped as he continued lightly sucking on her clitoris, her juices glistening on his chin.

She groaned and shifted her weight to one hand, raising the other to play with her breast. She was so close. So close. She bucked against Hannibal's face as he continued to consume her as though she was to be his last meal.

The heat of Hannibal's mouth was suddenly gone, and she had been so close. She let out a noise of pure frustration and turned to look at him. He was on his knees behind her, towering above her, his eyes shining in the half-dark.

She shut her eyes and waited, sensing rather than seeing him move into position at her entrance. He thrust inside her ohsoquick. He filled her with his sizeable erection. He paused. She thrust back against him, trying to get him to move, trying to ride his cock. He placed his large hands on her hips and held her in place. She groaned in frustration.

"Patience, lover," he whispered.

He finally moved inside her, pulling out slowly, then thrusting back in just as slowly. She clenched her fists against the sheets, trying to keep herself from bucking against him. She wanted him to go faster, but he kept up a slow, steady pace.

Finally, she could take it no more. She pulled away from him and turned to face him. A quizzical look on his face, he opened his mouth, but she stopped him with a kiss.

She pulled away and said, "I can't take the slow rhythm tonight. I want to ride you hard."

"Your wish is my command, Alana."

He lay down and she straddled him. Grasping his cock, she lowered herself onto him. She placed her hands on his chest for leverage, then started to ride him. Alana arched her back, her breasts bouncing as she moved up and down on Hannibal's cock. She fucked him hard, head thrown back. He grasped her hair, pulling her head down for a kiss.

She kissed him roughly as her mind cried, "love you, love you, love you." She knew it was too soon for that, and that she wasn't really in love with him yet after all. But she was close; love was coming, if she was thinking it already. Love would come and she would be helpless to stop it.

Love would come, but first, Alana came. Hannibal felt her muscles contract around his erection, and he grasped her hips hard, thrusting up into her once, twice. Then he orgasmed inside of her with a growl. Alana collapsed on top of him.

Hannibal held her for a minute, placing kisses along her forehead and cheeks, and then rolled her off of him. Alana lay beside him, feeling him leak out of her, a feeling she adored. She closed her eyes and tried to slow her breathing.

She felt fingers run through her hair, and she opened her eyes to gaze into Hannibal's.

"Did you find the comfort you sought?" he asked.

She nodded sleepily, closing her eyes again. He pulled her to him, wrapping one arm around her waist and one arm under her neck.

She felt him place a gentle kiss to her cheek as she drifted off into a nightmareless sleep.
