Chapter 28

Sweetheart

Amanda scooted closer and gently pressed her lips against Liv's, lingering there for just a moment before she finally opened her mouth to grant Olivia access. Strong arms tenderly wrapped themselves around her, soft fingers caressing her exposed skin and inhaling the scent of Olivia.

The detective was overwhelmed. She wanted to rip the blonde's clothes off right there but knew that she couldn't. She had to let Amanda set her own pace or else she would probably shut down and run away. She stiffled a groan as Amanda traced her lips with her tongue, nipping it slightly before placing butterfly kisses along her jaw line up to her ear. Slipping the detective's ear lobe into her hot mouth, Olivia could no longer suppress her need and let out a low strangled moan.

Slender fingers tugged at Olivia's shirt and within a couple of seconds it was laying on the floor and Amanda's lips latched onto the tanned skin in the valley between the detective's breasts. Liv gasped at the sensation and arched her back, begging for more. Through the lacy material of her bra Amanda could make out the dark stiffened nipples and ran her tongue over one and then the other.

Amanda was still nervous and hoped Olivia wouldn't notice her shaking hands as she reached for the brunette's button on her pants. She struggled with the sipper, her hands trembling like a leaf but as she felt warm hands cover hers, she calmed slightly. "Shhh, it's okay." Olivia quietly soothed and gracefully slid the jeans down her legs and discarding her socks along the way.

When they were both half naked Olivia could sense the tension and the fear in Amanda. She stroked the blonde's cheek with her knuckles and looked into blue eyes. "Are you sure about this, sweetie?"

Amanda lowered herself down to lay on her back, swallowed and nodded. Liv scooted in alongside her, bringing their lips together for a passionate kiss while her hand caressed the blonde's side, hips and arms. Liv felt the body beneath her shiver and laid down slightly on top of her, hoping to sooth her by making skin on skin contact. "Shh, sweets. I'm not going to hurt you." she whispered. "I just want to touch you, feel you and love you. Just let me take care of you." she kissed her way down to her collarbone and gently slid one strap of the night dress down her shoulder.

Liv spent several long minutes kissing around Amanda's chest area but never physically touched her breasts. She could tell by the blonde's breathing that she was aroused but she still kept a slow pace. "Can I take this off?" Liv asked in concern. Amanda slowly sat up and raised her arms. Sliding the satin material over her head, Liv never broke eye contact.

The detective lowered them both down into a laying position again. She placed her right hand on Amanda's side, stroking her ribs with gentle fingers, moving upwards until she felt the smooth warmth of the younger woman's left breast. As she placed her palm over her nipple Amanda gasped loudly and shivered. "Shh, it's okay, baby." Liv murmured, still locking their eyes together. "It's okay. I just want to make you feel good. Will you trust me enough to do that? Will you trust me not to hurt you?"

Once again Amanda gave her a shaky nod and felt soft lips close around her other nipple. The attention Olivia spent on her breasts was amazing. The kissing, sucking, flickering and nipping of the sensitive flesh was almost enough to bring herself over the edge. She put her heart and soul into it, wanting Amanda to feel safe and secure and to show her every ounce of care and compassion she felt for her.

The blonde could feel her arousal dripping, creating a damp patch in her panties. She couldn't remember the last time she had been so aroused and her sex was almost painfully throbbing from the need to be touched. She let out a pitiful moan and her breathing became heavier by the second. Liv placed a hand on her chest and looked at her lover, concern written on her face. "You okay?" she felt Amanda's heart beat violently under her touch. "Do you want to stop, sweetie?"

"No," Amanda answered quickly, causing her to blush slightly. "No, I just... It's just so... so... Big. I know it's silly."

Liv faced her again, kissing her worries away. "It's not silly, honey. It's a huge thing for you and it's only natural to feel small after making a big step. I think it's Big too." she smiled gently, trying to calm her love's fears.

Pink lips captured Olivia's and the detective was surprised when Amanda took her hand and guided it downwards, her fingers brushing against coarse curls. Liv placed her whole palm against heated moist pink flesh and simply held it there, wanting Amanda to get use to her touch before exploring further. When the blonde pushed her hips harder into Liv's hand for more friction, the brunette gently parted her lips and slid her middle finger in between soaked folds.

Amanda pinched her eyes shut, gasped and held her breath. "No baby, look at me. Just look at me, sweetie. I want to see you." Olivia continued with the sweet torture, rubbing small circles over Amanda's swollen clit, dipping her finger slightly into her opening to collect more moisture and kissing her lovingly. Olivia couldn't believe how wet Amanda was and how wet Amanda was making her in return. She felt honoured and privileged that Amanda trusted her enough to let her touch her and see her so exposed and raw. It made Olivia's heart swell and ache for the pain and suffering the blonde had been through over the years and she made a promise to herself there and then to always respect, honour and look up to Amanda every second of every day.

The brunette kept her circular motion steady and firm. She decided against penetration, thinking it would be too much for Amanda right now. Liv could tell that the blonde was close to orgasm already but also felt that she was holding back, afraid of letting go completely.

"Look at me, honey. It's okay, just relax and let go. Don't hold back, just come for me. Come for me, sweetie."

Liv saw Amanda's blue eyes turn into a shade darker. Her slender body shook violently and her chest heaving from the intensity of the orgasm that was quickly building. She was so close, just a few more strokes and she would fall over the edge, her walls crumble and her mind go blank. She clawed at the detective's shoulder blades, pulling her closer, wanting to feel her warm skin on hers. Olivia increased the speed and pressure of her motion slightly which caused Amanda to finally give in to the inevitable. She burried her face in the crook of Liv's neck and let out a deep raspy moan.

"That's it, baby. Just let go, just let yourself go. I'm right here, shh. That's it, sweetie. That's it." Olivia soothed as she felt Amanda's thighs capturing her hand in a strong hold as she rode out her release, wave after wave. When the body underneath her went limp she still kept her hand on damp curls, her thumb gently brushing over her pubic bone, soothing her back to her senses. She didn't remove it until she felt hot tears spilling down her neck onto her chest.

"Baby?" Olivia brushed blonde hair away from her flushed face in concern, wanting to make eye contact with the blonde but Amanda wasn't ready to leave her safe place yet. "Did I hurt you? Is something wrong?" she kissed blonde hair and rubbed her naked back in comfort. "Talk to me, baby. What's going on in that pretty head of yours?"

"Thank you." Amanda squeaked out between sniffles, still hiding her face.

Liv looked slightly puzzled. "For what, sweets?" she asked, her lips brushing over Amanda's temple.

Finally the blonde pulled back and teary blue eyes met loving brown. "For everything." She kissed the detective softly before once again cuddling into the crook of her neck.

A few minutes passed and Olivia thought she had fallen asleep when she heard Amanda mumble against her skin, her voice shaky and small, "I love you."

Liv wasn't sure if Amanda had actually said it or not. Maybe she was dreaming and wasn't aware of her actions or what she was saying. But when she felt the blonde snuggle in closer and kiss her neck she knew she had heard right.

Bringing Amanda in as close as she physically could, she placed a kiss on the top of her head and then one on her temple. "I love you too, sweetheart. I love you too."
