Chapter 35: In the Night
Pink fingers traced delicately over pale flesh. Reverently reminding the person they belonged to that yes, Marceline was there; and yes, she was still alive. Every time the vampire went away, the time pulled at Bubblegum's heart strings. And every time she returned, the candy princess needed a physical reminder that it wasn't a dream, that her love was still with her, that no permanent ill had befallen her. The moon shone fiercely, casting a paling glow over the two.
"I missed you…" She whispered quietly into the night air. Night, where the Queen belonged, where she felt at home. When Bubblegum spent nights without Marceline by her side, she felt the instinctual fear return to her. People were killed at night, crimes took place at night, you couldn't see at night. Alone, the nights were just as black as pitch; empty and cold, she felt the night close in around her. When Marceline wasn't there.
Marceline looked down at the princess, a calming hand placed on her cheek as she smiled in apology and reassurance. She leaned in softly and placed a light kiss on Bubblegum's lips, the sweet sugar of love lingering for her to taste as she pulled away. "I missed you too," came the quiet declaration, and as their eyes caught, the candy princess leaned in for another kiss. It started soft, as it always did when Marceline had just returned. A kiss that was full of reminders of life, promises of love, and apologies for the future, all without saying a word.
It was always Marceline who broke first. Days away from her princess fighting always left her with pent up feelings. Long gone were the days when passionate aggressions were thrust forcefully upon the candy girl. Though the passion was still there, it was tempered by the sadness of being away. She teased Bubblegum's lips with her tongue, quietly asking permission. And, as Bubblegum smiled at the softness of it, she granted entrance.
Their tongues danced around each other, giving and taking exactly as the other needed. And, while it was true that Marceline always broke first, silently begging her lover for more than a kiss, it was always when the vampire wrapped her tongue completely around that of her lovers that Bubblegum began to move them to their bed. She grabbed Marceline by the color of her tee-shirt and walked backwards until she fell upon the soft surface. Their lips parted as the princess scooted back onto the bed completely and let Marceline crawl on top of her on all fours.
They kissed again, not willing to be apart for long, and Bubblegum's breath soon became heavy. The vampire pulled away and nipped lightly at the princess' neck, draining only the smallest bits of pink here and there. "Marceline…" came the breathy response. Where Marceline would usually chuckle at her ability to unwind the prim and proper princess, she only placed loving kisses. These times were never a time for lewd words or cruel teasing.
Bubblegum sat up and pulled Marceline's tee over her head, revealing her pale, smooth, muscular stomach. They kissed again as Bubblegum unbuttoned the vampire's jeans and her breath too, became ragged. The teasing feeling of only pink fingertips only just touching electric skin driving her wild, as the touch always did. She shimmied out of her jeans and lay over Bubblegum again, hair fanning out in a wild halo as her head hit the pillow.
She trailed a smooth line up under Bubblegum's sleep shirt (her shirt), and gasped slightly at the feel of her lover against her hands again. The candy princess arched her back to accommodate the removal of her top, and sighed contentedly at the skin-on-skin contact it allowed. Marceline began to gently squeeze her breasts and nip at her collar bone just exactly how Bubblegum liked it. The vampire's right hand began the slow decent down her lover's torso and stomach, pausing briefly to play with a belly button.
As her hand breached the waist line of Bubblegum's pajama bottoms, Marceline inhaled sharply at what she found. "You aren't wearing underwear…"
"I was—Ah!—Hoping you'd be h-home tonight…" she gasped out breathily, as the vampire began to tease at her folds. She was beyond ready, as she always was after Marceline returned. "You-you're over-dressed." She whispered into her lover's ear, and she placed hot kisses all over a toned stomach as Marceline hurried to get off her under wear. Licking lightly at her lover's belly button, Bubblegum reveled in the almost-not-there moan that she had drawn from the girl. The two lay down again. "Much better…" she sighed, as the full feeling of Marceline settled on top of her, and she unconsciously bucked her hips up into the taller girl.
"Grod…Bonni…" she groaned, and ground her hips down as well, drawing quiet wanton cries from pink lips. Bubblegum didn't have to wait long, as Marceline grabbed her left leg and hiked it over her own waist, before settling down onto her lover. Marceline let out a small growl as their center's touched, and began to grind slowly against the candy princess. Bubblegum pulled Marceline ever closer to her, as the feeling of their clits bumping against each other slowly drew her to the edge. And it was so slow, so slow she felt like time wasn't moving at all, and for all she cared, it could have stopped. She would have been contented to stay with Marceline in this moment for forever. She was pulled from the thought, gasping loudly as the vampire ground harder into her, both their orgasms coming on unexpectedly, as always when they made love like this. They were so satisfied with just the feel of the other that when their pleasure mounted, it crashed over them like a sudden wave, drowning them in the feel of skin slick with sweat, bated breaths intermingling, and the pulsating feel of each other's pleasure thick between them. There were quiet cries from both
Their crash lasting long, slow, and deep, it took several moments for Marceline to fall heavily onto Bubblegum. The candy princess turned them both over and tucked herself firmly into Marceline's side as pale arms slipped around her in security. The vampire turned towards her prices in the night as Bubblegum pulled the sheets up and around them. "I love you so much, Bonnibel."
The girl squeezed into the vampire's side and whispered back, "I love you too." And the pair drifted off into sleep, not to wake up until late the next morning, wholly unwilling to remove themselves from each other's grasp.
