Bellamy's lips crashed against mine, igniting a fire that spread through my entire body. His hands roamed over my body, leaving trails of heat in their wake. I gasped as he lifted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. He pressed me firmly against the wall, his hips grinding against mine, careful not to bump my head against the wall.
"God, I've missed you," Bellamy breathed against my neck as he trailed hot kisses along my skin. "I was so scared I'd lost you."
"I'm here," I whispered, tangling my fingers in his hair. "I'm not going anywhere." Bellamy's hands slid under the oversized shirt I wore, caressing my bare skin. I shivered at his touch, arching into him. With a low growl, he pulled the shirt over my head, leaving me bare before him. His eyes raked over my body hungrily.
"You're so beautiful," Bellamy murmured, his hands caressing my sides. I shivered under his heated gaze, desire pooling low in my belly.
"Please, Bellamy," I breathed. "I need you." With a low growl, Bellamy captured my lips in another searing kiss. His hands roamed my body as he pressed me firmly against the wall. I gasped as he trailed hot kisses down my neck, nipping and sucking at my sensitive skin.
"Tell me if it's too much," Bellamy murmured against my collarbone. "We can stop anytime."
"Don't stop," I pleaded, rolling my hips against his. Bellamy groaned, his hands gripping my thighs tightly. In one swift motion, he carried me to the bed, laying me down gently. Bellamy hovered over me, his eyes dark with desire. He trailed kisses down my neck and chest, worshipping every inch of skin. I arched into his touch, craving more. My hands fumbled with the button of his pants, desperate to feel him.
"Easy, Songbird," Bellamy murmured against my skin. "We have time." He captured my lips in another searing kiss as he slowly removed the rest of our clothing. When we were both finally bare, Bellamy paused, his eyes roaming over my body reverently. "You're so beautiful," he breathed again. I blushed under his heated gaze, pulling him down for another kiss. Bellamy's hands and lips explored my body, relearning every curve and sensitive spot. I gasped and writhed beneath him, lost in sensation. As his lips made their way back up my body to capture my own lips again, his fingers slowly ran up and down my center, causing my hips to jerk at the sensation. I arched into Bellamy's touch, gasping.
He kissed me deeply as he slowly pushed two fingers inside me, swallowing my moans as he began to work me up.
"Bellamy," I whimpered against his lips. Bellamy's fingers moved inside me, stroking and curling in a way that had me gasping and arching beneath him. His thumb circled my clit as his lips trailed hot kisses down my neck.
"That's it, Songbird," he murmured against my skin. "Let me hear you." I moaned softly, rolling my hips to meet his hand. The familiar pressure began to build low in my belly as Bellamy worked me closer to the edge. His lips found my breast, sucking and nipping gently. The dual sensations had me writhing beneath him.
"Bellamy... I'm close," I panted, tangling my fingers in his hair.
"Cum for me, Juliett," Bellamy breathed, curling his fingers just right. But just before I could fall over the edge and into bliss, a knock sounded on the door and Raven's voice pulled me back from the edge. Bellamy froze, his fingers still inside me. We stared at each other with wide eyes as Raven's voice came through the door again.
"Bellamy?" Raven called from the other side of the door. "Is Juliett awake? I need to check her vitals."
"Just a minute!" Bellamy called back, his voice strained. He quickly withdrew his hand, leaving me aching and unfulfilled.
"Crap," I whispered, frantically reaching for Bellamy's discarded shirt. He helped me pull it on before hastily tugging on his own pants.
"Coming!" Bellamy said as he tossed me a blanket to cover my lower half. He ran a hand through his messy hair, trying to look somewhat presentable. I bit back a groan of frustration as I settled back against the pillows, pulling the blanket up to my waist. Bellamy opened the door, trying to appear casual. "Hey Raven, come on in." Raven entered, her eyes narrowing suspiciously as she took in our flushed faces and disheveled appearance.
"Everything okay in here?" she asked, one eyebrow raised.
"Fine," I said quickly, my voice a bit higher than normal. "Just woke up not too long ago." Raven didn't look entirely convinced, but she didn't press the issue.
"Well, let's check you over then," she said, moving to my bedside. As Raven began examining me, checking my pupils and vitals, I could feel the heat of Bellamy's gaze on me from across the room. My body still thrummed with unfulfilled desire. I bit my lip, trying to focus on Raven's questions rather than the lingering sensations or Bellamy's skillful fingers moving inside me. This was the second time that we were interrupted before we could even get started and I was beginning to think that we would never be able to have sex again. Bellamy looked equally sexually frustrated too. As Raven finished her examination, I tried to keep my breathing steady and my expression neutral. My body still thrummed with unfulfilled desire, and I could feel Bellamy's heated gaze on me from across the room. "Well, your vitals are looking much better," Raven said, seemingly oblivious to the tension in the room. "Pupils are equal and reactive, no signs of lingering swelling. How's the pain?"
"Much better," I managed to say, my voice only slightly strained. "Just a dull ache now and the room's not spinning anymore." Raven nodded, satisfied.
"Good. You should be able to get up and move around a bit more, but take it slow. No strenuous activity for at least another day or two." I caught Bellamy's eye at that, a faint blush coloring my cheeks. Raven must have noticed our exchanged glance because she narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "And I do mean no strenuous activity," she said pointedly, looking between us. "That includes what I'm pretty sure I just interrupted." I felt my face flame red as Bellamy coughed awkwardly.
"We weren't..." I started to protest weakly, but Raven held up a hand.
"Save it," she said, though there was amusement in her tone. "I don't need the details. Just... be careful, okay? You're still recovering." I nodded, thoroughly embarrassed. Raven gave us both a knowing look before heading to the door. "I'll be back to check on you again in a few hours," she said before getting up to leave. As soon as the door closed behind Raven, Bellamy was across the room in two long strides. He crashed his lips to mine in a searing kiss that left me breathless.
"God, you're killing me." He groaned against my mouth. I tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer.
"You're one to talk," I breathed. "Teasing me like that and then leaving me hanging." Bellamy chuckled lowly. Bellamy chuckled lowly, his eyes dark with desire.
"Trust me, Songbird, I'm just as frustrated as you are." His hand trailed teasingly up my thigh, making me shiver. "But Raven's right. We should probably take it easy for now." I groaned in disappointment, even as I knew he was right.
"Fine," I pouted. "But you owe me, Bellamy." Bellamy grinned, pressing a soft kiss to my lips.
"Oh, I intend to make it up to you thoroughly once you're fully recovered." His voice dropped to a husky whisper. "I'm going to take my time with you, worship every inch of your body until you're begging for release." Heat pooled low in my belly at his words. I bit my lip, fighting back a whimper.
"You're not playing fair, Bellamy Blake." Bellamy smirked, his eyes dark with desire.
"Never claimed to play fair, Songbird." He pressed one last lingering kiss to my lips before pulling back with a sigh. "As much as I'd love to continue this, we should probably get some food in you. You need to regain your strength." I nodded reluctantly, knowing he was right. Bellamy retrieved the tray of food he had brought earlier, setting it on my lap. There was a bowl of broth, some bread, and water. My stomach growled at the sight, reminding me how long it had been since I'd eaten. "Small bites," Bellamy cautioned as I reached for the spoon. "We don't want to overwhelm your system."
I nodded, taking a small sip of the warm broth. It felt heavenly going down my parched throat. We sat in comfortable silence as I slowly ate, Bellamy occasionally brushing my hair back or giving my thigh a comforting squeeze. As I finished the last of the broth, a wave of exhaustion washed over me. The simple act of eating had drained what little energy I had. Bellamy noticed my fatigue and gently took the tray away. "You should rest some more," he said softly, helping me settle back against the pillows. I shook my head in protest.
"No. I'm fine. I've rested enough. I need to do something."
"Juliett," Bellamy said gently but firmly. "You need to rest and recover. You've been through a major trauma and your body needs time to heal." I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at him.
"That's very hypocritical coming from the guy who was ready to jump my bones just a few minutes ago." Bellamy chuckled softly, a hint of color rising to his cheeks.
"Fair point," he conceded. "But that was... different. We got carried away in the moment." I smirked at him.
"Oh really? And what moment was that exactly?" Bellamy's eyes darkened as he leaned in close, his voice dropping to a husky whisper.
"The moment I saw you standing there in nothing but my shirt, looking so damn beautiful it took my breath away." A shiver ran through me at his words and the intensity of his gaze. I bit my lip, fighting the urge to pull him down for another kiss. Bellamy seemed to sense my struggle. He pulled back slightly, though his eyes still smoldered with barely contained desire. "But you're right, we should be more careful. You need time to fully recover." I sighed, knowing he was right.
"At least let me help Raven with Alie's coding. I won't be doing anything. I'll just be sitting there with a tablet in my lap. Is she in the computer room?" I made a move to climb off the bed and grabbed my clothes off the stand. Bellamy gently caught my arm as I started to get up.
"Whoa, slow down there Songbird," he said. "I know you want to help, but you need to take it easy. You're still recovering." I sighed in frustration.
"Bellamy, I'm fine. I've been lying in this bed for days. I need to do something useful." Bellamy's expression softened.
"I understand, believe me. But pushing yourself too hard too soon could set back your recovery. How about we compromise? You can work with Raven, but only for an hour or two at a time and then you rest again. Understand?" I considered his offer for a moment before reluctantly nodding.
"Fine. But two hours minimum." Bellamy chuckled.
"Alright, deal. Let's get you dressed and we can go meet up with Monty and Raven." Bellamy helped me get dressed, his hands lingering on my skin as he assisted me with my clothes. Heat pooled in my core as his calloused hands brushed against my skin. Unable to resist, I placed my hands flat on Bellamy's bare chest, slowly running my fingers along his sculpted pecs before trailing my hands down to trace the outline of his six pack abs. Bellamy's breath hitched as my fingers traced along his abs. His eyes darkened with desire as he caught my wandering hands in his own. "Songbird," he growled softly. "You're making it very hard to be good right now." I bit my lip, looking up at him through my lashes.
"Maybe I don't want you to be good." Bellamy groaned, resting his forehead against mine.
"You're killing me, Juliett. But we need to behave, at least for now. Doctor's orders, remember?" I sighed dramatically, hooking my fingers in the waistband of his pants.
"Then, stop being so incredibly attractive. You give a girl all kinds of dirty ideas." Bellamy chuckled, his eyes dark with desire as he gently removed my hands from his waistband.
"Believe me, Songbird, I have plenty of dirty ideas of my own," he murmured, his voice low and husky. "But for now, we need to focus on getting you fully recovered." He pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. "Once you're back to one hundred percent, I promise I'll make it worth the wait." I pouted playfully but nodded in agreement.
"Fine. But I'm holding you to that promise, Bellamy." Bellamy grinned, helping me finish getting dressed.
"Trust me, I have no intention of forgetting." Once I was fully clothed, Bellamy wrapped an arm around my waist to support me as we made our way to the computer room where Raven and Monty were working. As we walked in, Monty was at the whiteboard, scribbling down notes while Raven's eyes quickly scanned the dozen screens in front of her as she combed through Alie's coding. As we entered the computer room, Raven looked up from her screens and raised an eyebrow at us.
"Well, well. Look who finally decided to join the land of the living," she said with a smirk. "Feeling better, Jules?" I nodded, leaning against Bellamy for support as we made our way further into the room.
"Much better." I answered honestly. "Ready to help kick Alie's ass." Monty turned from the whiteboard, his eyes widening slightly as he took in my appearance.
"Wow, you're actually up and walking. That's great!"
"Don't get too excited," Bellamy said, helping me settle into a chair next to Raven. "She's only allowed to work for a couple hours before resting again." Bellamy gently but firmly grabbed my chin between his thumb and index finger to force me to look up at him. "Two hours max, Songbird, and I mean that." My cheeks flushed fiercely and the apex of my thighs throbbed at the sound of his strong, unfaltering authoritative tone. I nodded, my cheeks flushing at Bellamy's firm tone.
"Yes, sir," I murmured, only half-joking. Bellamy's eyes darkened slightly at my words, but he quickly composed himself.
"I'm going to go check with Harper and Miller. I'll be back to check on you in two hours," he said, his voice low. "Be good." With that, he pressed a quick kiss to my forehead and left the room. Raven cleared her throat, an amused smirk on her face.
"Well, now that the sexual tension in here has reached unbearable levels, shall we get to work?" Raven chuckled. I felt my face flame even hotter.
"Shut up, Raven," I muttered, though there was no real heat behind my words. Monty chuckled, shaking his head.
"It's good to have you back, Jules." Monty said as Raven passed me the tablet and I pulled up Allie's coding. "We've missed your smartass remarks."
"Who wouldn't?" As I settled in to work on Alie's code, I tried to focus on the task at hand rather than the lingering heat Bellamy's touch had left behind. Raven filled me in on what they'd discovered so far as I scrolled through lines of complex programming.
"We've identified some of the key subroutines that control Alie's core functions," Raven explained. "But every time we think we've found a weakness, the code shifts and adapts." I nodded, my eyes scanning the screen.
"It's like she's evolving in real time," I murmured. "Constantly rewriting herself to patch vulnerabilities."
"Exactly," Monty chimed in from the whiteboard. "We need to find a way to freeze her code long enough to exploit a weakness." We worked in focused silence for a while, the only sounds the clacking of keyboards and the occasional curses whenever we would hit a dead in.
"I can't believe how many people Alie has now." Raven muttered, "You see this cluster? It's a building. But all this, these are minds. It's full of them, thousands. She's taken Polis, too. Alie's army is growing. The longer we wait to go in, the stronger she gets."
"Go in? Raven, no, our mission is…"
"To wait for Clarke. Like always. But what if we can do this ourselves? We have Becca's backdoor password. We have me. We have Juliett."
"The moment we use the password, Alie will know." I told Raven, leaning back in my chair.
"She might. She might not. I don't know."
"That means we have one shot at this." Monty reminded her. "Is there a kill code in that book you didn't tell me about?" Raven shook her head. "Then we stick with the plan. Clarke gives the flame to Luna. The AI in the flame gives Luna the kill code. We enter it here, taking our one shot and Bob's your uncle." Raven rolled her eyes and groaned.
"I hate that expression. But find."
"Good. Let's keep mapping. What else do you see?" I leaned in closer to the screen, studying the complex web of code.
"Wait, what's that cluster there?" I asked, pointing to a dense section. "It looks different from the others." Raven zoomed in on the area I indicated.
"You're right, it does look unusual." Raven agreed. "The code structure is more intricate here." Monty came over to look.
"Could it be some kind of central hub or control center?" He asked. I nodded slowly.
"Maybe. Or it could be where she's storing key information."
"Like the kill switch," Raven said excitedly.
"Possibly," I cautioned. "But we can't be sure. We'd need to dig deeper to know for certain." We spent the next hour analyzing that section of code, trying to unravel its secrets. It was slow, painstaking work, but I felt a glimmer of hope. As we continued mapping Alie's code, I found my thoughts drifting to Bellamy. The memory of his hands on my skin, his lips against mine, his firm and authoritative tone, sent a shiver through me. I shook my head slightly, trying to refocus on the task at hand.
"You okay there, Jules?" Raven asked, eyeing me with concern. "You're looking a little flushed."
"I'm fine." I said quickly, avoiding her faze. "Just… concentrating." Raven smirked knowingly but didn't pressed the issue. Harper came walking in and looked around.
"Perimeter's clear." She announced. "Miller and Bellamy have watch now. How's it going in here?" We remained quiet, unsure how to answer. "That good, huh?" Harper looked to Monty. "Take a break? I could use some help securing the south airlock." Monty looked over at Raven.
"Go!" Raven snapped, but she had a small smirk on her face. "Take the book if you don't trust me."
"You memorized Becca's password." Monty told her.
"Then I guess you'll have to trust me." Sighing heavily, Monty followed Harper out of the room.
"You know what those two are going to do, right?" I muttered at Raven, trying to focus on the coding.
"Yep."
"So incredibly rude that everyone is getting to have sex but me." Raven chuckled, patting my arm sympathetically.
"Don't worry, Jules. Once you're fully recovered, I'm sure Bellamy will make up for lost time." She waggled her eyebrows suggestively. I groaned as a new wave of desire and lust coursed through me.
"So not helping, Raven."
"Sorry," she said, not sounding sorry at all. I rolled my eyes at Raven's teasing, trying to refocus on the code in front of me. But my mind kept wandering back to Bellamy - his strong hands, his intense gaze, the way his voice dropped when he told me to be good. I shifted restlessly in my seat, unable to fully concentrate. As the two hour mark came around, my vision began to blur as I tried to focus. "I think it's time to get some rest, Jules." I shook my head stubbornly.
"I'm fine." I rubbed my eyes, trying to focus my vision. "I'm good."
"Juliett, you're squinting at the screen and can barely keep your eyes open. Bellamy will have my head if I let you overdo it." I waved her off.
"Just a little long. I think I'm onto something with this section of code." As if on cue, Bellamy appeared in the doorway. I didn't look up from my screen but I immediately felt his gaze on me.
"Time's up, Songbird." He said softly. "Let's get you back to bed." I shook my head, not looking up from my screen.
"Hold on. I think I can get past this section of coding. I just need a little more time." Bellamy sighed, moving to stand behind my chair. He placed his hands on my shoulders, gently massaging the tension there.
"Juliett," he said softly but firmly. "You promised two hours. It's been over that now. You need to rest." I bit my lip, torn between my desire to keep working and the exhaustion I could feel creeping in. Bellamy's hands on my shoulders were both comforting and distracting.
"Just a few more minutes," I pleaded. "I'm so close to cracking this section." Bellamy leaned down, his lips brushing my ear as he spoke.
"Songbird, don't make me carry you out of here. You know I will." A shiver ran through me at his words and the heat of his breath on my skin. I swallowed hard, my resolve weakening.
"Fine." Bellamy gently helped me to my feet. My legs felt wobbly after sitting for so long, and I leaned heavily against him as we made our way back to my room.
"You pushed yourself too hard." He helped me sit on the edge of the bed.
"I'm fine," I protested weakly, even as my eyes struggled to stay open. "Just need a quick nap and then I can get back to work." Bellamy shook his head, a fond but exasperated look on his face.
"You need more than a quick nap, Songbird. You're still recovering." He helped me get settled under the blankets before sitting on the edge of the bed. His hand came up to gently stroke my hair.
"I said I was fine, Bellamy." His eyes darkened, the same intense gaze he got earlier when I had said yes, sir. Bellamy's eyes darkened at my stubborn tone. He leaned in close, his voice low and authoritative.
"And I said you need to rest, Juliett. Are you going to keep arguing with me?" A shiver ran through me at his commanding tone. Heat pooled low in my belly as I met his intense gaze.
"Maybe," I whispered, my breath catching. "What are you going to do about it?" Bellamy's eyes flashed dangerously. In one swift motion, he pinned my wrists above my head, hovering over me.
"Do you really want to test me right now, Songbird?" he growled softly. I bit my lip, desire coursing through me. Part of me wanted to push him further, to see how far he'd go. But exhaustion was quickly overtaking me.
"No," I mumbled. I don't know what it was about Bellamy getting stern and authoritative since we got back together, but all of a sudden it was an incredible turn on. If it came from anyone else, I would have told them to go float themselves in a heartbeat but from Bellamy? It had me melting but not only that, it was comforting and reassuring and calming. Bellamy's expression softened as he saw my exhaustion. He released my wrists and gently cupped my cheek.
"Good. Now get some rest, Songbird," he murmured. "I'll be right here." I nodded, my eyelids growing heavy. As I drifted off to sleep, I felt Bellamy press a soft kiss to my forehead. When I woke some time later, the room was dim. I blinked groggily, trying to orient myself. Bellamy was sitting in a chair next to the bed, reading by the light of a small lamp.
"Hey," I said softly, my voice rough with sleep. Bellamy looked up, a gentle smile on his face.
"Hey yourself. How are you feeling?" I took stock of my body. The ache in my head had faded to a dull throb. I stretched carefully, assessing how I felt. The ache in my head had faded to a dull throb, and the room stayed steady as I moved.
"Better," I said. "How long was I out?"
"About six hours," Bellamy replied, setting his book aside. "You needed the rest." I nodded, knowing he was right even if I was reluctant to admit it.
"Any word from Clarke and the others?" Bellamy shook his head.
"Not yet. Last radio contact, they were still searching for Luna." I sighed, frustration creeping in.
"We're running out of time. Alie's getting stronger every day."
"I know," Bellamy said softly. "But we'll figure it out. We always do." He reached out to take my hand, his thumb tracing soothing circles on my skin. I sat up in bed, stretching my stiff muscles. As I stretched, I noticed Bellamy's eyes roaming over my body. Heat pooled low in my belly at his intense gaze.
"See something you like?" I teased softly. Bellamy's eyes darkened as they met mine.
"You know I do," he murmured, his voice low and husky. "But you're still recovering." I bit my lip, desire coursing through me.
"I'm feeling much better," I said, my voice breathy. "Maybe we could... test things out a bit?" Bellamy groaned softly, his resolve clearly wavering.
"Juliett..." he warned. I shifted closer to him, reaching out to trail my fingers along his jaw.
"Please, Bellamy," I whispered. "I need you." Bellamy set the book down on the nightstand and gripped the arms of the chair tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"If I start, I'm not going to be able to stop." Bellamy's words sent a shiver of anticipation through me. I bit my lip, meeting his intense gaze.
"Then don't stop," I whispered. With a low growl, Bellamy surged forward, capturing my lips in a searing kiss. I moaned into his mouth, tangling my fingers in his hair as he pushed me back against the pillows. His body covered mine, hot and solid as his hands roamed over my curves.
"Tell me if it's too much," Bellamy murmured against my neck as he trailed kisses down to my collarbone. "We'll stop if you need to."
"Don't you dare stop," I gasped, arching into him. Bellamy chuckled darkly, nipping at my pulse point.
"As you wish, Songbird." His hands slid under my shirt, caressing the tender skin on the underside of my breast. "I am going to take my time with this body. Worship it. You're going to be begging for me to make you cum." Bellamy's words sent a shiver of anticipation through me. His hands slowly pushed my shirt up, exposing my skin inch by tantalizing inch. When he finally pulled it over my head, his eyes roamed hungrily over my exposed chest. "Beautiful," he murmured, lowering his head to trail kisses along my collarbone. I arched into his touch, gasping as his lips found my breast. He took his time, alternating between gentle kisses and teasing nips that had me writhing beneath him.
"Bellamy, please," I whimpered, desperate for more. He chuckled darkly against my skin.
"Patience, Songbird. I'm just getting started." His hands and mouth continued their torturous exploration of my body, leaving no inch of skin untouched. By the time he finally slid my pants off, I was ready to combust. Bellamy's hands slowly slid my pants down my legs, his fingers trailing teasingly along my skin. I shivered in anticipation as he tossed them aside, leaving me bare before him. His eyes roamed hungrily over my body as he settled between my thighs. "You're so beautiful," he murmured, pressing soft kisses to the inside of my knee. "I'm going to take my time with you, Songbird. Make you feel so good."
I whimpered as he slowly kissed his way up my inner thigh, his stubble scraping deliciously against my sensitive skin. When he finally reached the apex of my thighs, he paused, his hot breath fanning over me.
"Bellamy, please," I begged, my hips lifting slightly off the bed. He chuckled darkly.
"So impatient." Bellamy's every touch and caress sent shivers of pleasure through me, and I could feel the wet heat between my legs as I arched my hips upwards, silently begging for more. Bellamy chuckled darkly, his fingers sliding over my damp core before delving inside of me, curling his fingers in the right spot that had me moaning his name. I was teetering on the edge, so close to jumping off.
"Oh god, Bellamy," I gasped, my back arching off the bed. Bellamy's low growl in response sent shivers down my spine. He removed his fingers, lightly tracing the dampness on my thigh before leaning down to replace them with his tongue, lapping up the evidence of my arousal. I cried out, bucking into his mouth. He wrapped his lips around my clit, sucking hard and as my orgasm was about to wreck my body, a knock sounded on the door. Bellamy rested his forehead against my thigh, sighing in frustration as I covered my eyes with my hand, clenching my jaw. Third time. This was the third time of being interrupted. We were never going to get through this. Each time we were interrupted, it only made things worse.
"Ignore it," Bellamy growled against my thigh, his eyes dark with desire as he looked up at me. I nodded frantically, tangling my fingers in his hair to urge him back to where I needed him most. But the knocking came again, more insistent this time.
"Bellamy? Jules? Are you in there?" Raven's voice called through the door. Bellamy groaned in frustration, resting his forehead against my hip.
"We're never going to catch a break, are we?" he muttered. I sighed, my body still thrumming with unfulfilled desire.
"Apparently not," I grumbled. Bellamy pressed a gentle kiss to my inner thigh before reluctantly pulling away.
"Just a minute!" he called out to Raven as he helped me get dressed again. We hurriedly made ourselves presentable before opening the door. Raven took one look at our flushed faces and disheveled appearance and smirked.
"Did I interrupt something?" She asked innocently.
"What do you want, Raven?" Bellamy growled at her.
"I just came to see how Juliett was doing. It had been almost seven hours and I got worried when she didn't come back to the control room." I sighed, running a hand through my tousled hair.
"I'm fine, Raven. Just needed some extra rest." Raven nodded, though her smirk remained firmly in place.
"I'm sure you did. Lots of... strenuous activity to recover from." I felt my cheeks flame even hotter.
"Did you need something specific, or did you just come to torment us?"
"As fun as tormenting you two is, I actually do have news," Raven said, her expression growing serious. "Come on. I found something." Raven disappeared, closing the door behind her. I groaned in frustration, flopping back onto the bed.
"This is torture," I muttered. Bellamy chuckled, though I could hear the strain in his voice.
"Tell me about it," he said, running a hand through his hair. "But duty calls, I guess. We should go see what Raven found." I nodded reluctantly, knowing he was right. As much as I wanted nothing more than to pull Bellamy back into bed and finish what we started, saving our people had to come first. Bellamy helped me to my feet, his touch lingering on my skin. "To be continued," he murmured, his eyes dark with promise. A shiver ran through me at his words.
"It better be," I replied, my voice husky. We made our way to the control room, where Raven was hunched over her screens. Monty was standing behind her.
"It's right here." Raven said.
"What is?"
"Look at all these layers of security. More than anything else in the entire Alie code."
"Firewall?"
"More like a fortress. She calls it the citadel. It overlooks the entire city. It's separated by water, like a moat."
"Slow down, what are you saying?"
"I'm saying she's hiding something."
"No, no, no." Monty began to shut down whatever idea Raven had in her head.
"Monty, with Becca's password, I can edit the code. I'm sure of it."
"We've covered this. We map it from the outside. We don't go in."
"If we don't go in, we don't know what she's protecting there!"
"We'll tell the others when they come home. We decide together."
"What is they don't come home?"
"They're coming home and they're bringing back a supercomputer built for this. You may be freakishly good, Raven, but you're not an AI." I listened to Raven and Monty argue, my head spinning as I tried to process the information. The citadel Raven had found in Alie's code sounded promising, but also incredibly dangerous.
"What exactly do you think is in there?" I asked Raven, trying to understand her urgency. Raven turned to me, her eyes bright with excitement and determination.
"I think it could be the key to shutting Alie down." Raven said. "Maybe even the kill switch itself. It's too heavily protected to be anything else."
"Or it could be a trap," Monty countered. "We go poking around in there and Alie could lock us out completely or worse." I chewed my lip, considering both sides.
"I agree with Monty." I told Raven. "If Alie even catches a whiff of us poking around, there's no telling what she can do to everyone's minds. We need to do this right." Raven sighed in frustration.
"I hate this." Raven groaned.
"I know." Monty told her gently. "Maybe some sleep would help."
"I'm just gonna keep mapping, in case she has any other vulnerabilities." Raven sat back down in front of the screens and Monty took the seat next to her.
"We'll do it together. I promise, I won't slow you down. I'll just keep you company." I watched as Raven and Monty settled in to continue mapping Alie's code. Part of me wanted to join them, to dive back into the work and feel useful. But exhaustion was creeping back in, my body reminding me that I was still recovering. Bellamy seemed to sense my internal struggle. He placed a gentle hand on the small of my back, leaning in close to murmur in my ear.
"Come on, Songbird." He whispered, his lips brushing against the outer shell of my ear. "You need more rest." I started to protest, but Bellamy gave me a stern look. "Don't argue with me on this, Juliett. You're still recovering and you need your rest." His authoritative tone sent a shiver down my spine, heat pooling low in my belly despite my exhaustion. I bit my lip, meeting his intense gaze.
"Yes, sir," I murmured softly, my voice barely above a whisper. Bellamy's eyes darkened at my words. He placed his hand on the small of my back, guiding me out of the control room. As we walked back to my room, I could feel the tension crackling between us. Once inside, Bellamy closed the door behind us and turned to face me. His eyes roamed over my body hungrily.
"You're playing a dangerous game, Songbird," he growled softly, stepping closer to me. I shivered at Bellamy's low growl, heat pooling between my legs. I swallowed hard as Bellamy approached me, his eyes dark with desire.
"I don't know what you mean," I said innocently, even as heat pooled low in my belly. Bellamy chuckled darkly, caging me against the wall with his arms.
"Oh, I think you do," he murmured, his voice low and husky. "Calling me sir like that…" I honestly had no idea it affected him like that. The first time I had said it was meant to be sarcastic and then I saw the dark, desire look in his eyes so I said it again. I bit my lip, looking up at Bellamy through my lashes.
"Does it bother you?" I asked softly, my voice breathy. Bellamy's eyes darkened further as he leaned in close, his lips brushing against my ear.
"Quite the opposite, Songbird," he growled. "It drives me crazy in the best possible way." A shiver ran through me at his words and the heat of his breath on my skin. Desire coursed through my veins, making me ache for his touch.
"Bellamy..." I breathed, my hands coming up to grip his shoulders. He pulled back slightly to meet my gaze, his eyes burning with intensity. "Do you think you'll actually be able to finish what you start this time?" Bellamy's eyes darkened at my words, a low growl rumbling in his chest. In one swift motion, he lifted me up, my legs wrapping around his waist as he pressed me against the wall.
"Oh, I intend to finish what I start this time, Songbird," he murmured, his voice low and husky. "And I'm not stopping until you're screaming my name." I shivered at the promise in his words, heat pooling low in my belly. Bellamy captured my lips in a searing kiss, his tongue sweeping into my mouth as his hands gripped my thighs. I moaned into the kiss, tangling my fingers in his hair and pulling him closer. Bellamy trailed hot kisses along my jaw and down my neck, nipping and sucking at my sensitive skin. I gasped and arched into him, desperate for more. Bellamy's hands roamed over my body as he kissed me deeply, leaving trails of fire in their wake. I moaned into his mouth, arching against him. He pulled back slightly, his eyes dark with desire as he looked at me.
Groaning, he closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against my chest, breathing heavily.
"What's wrong?" I asked, a little concerned. Bellamy took a deep breath, his forehead still resting against my chest. When he looked up at me again, his eyes were dark with a mixture of desire and something else - a fierce intensity that made me shiver.
"Nothing's wrong," he said, his voice low and gravelly. "I just need a moment to control myself. Because right now, all I want to do is throw you on that bed and have my way with you." Heat pooled low in my belly at his words.
"What's stopping you?" I breathed. Bellamy's hands tightened on my thighs.
"You're still recovering," he growled. "And once I start, I won't be able to hold back. I don't want to hurt you." I tangled my fingers in his hair, tugging gently to make him look at me.
"You won't hurt me," I said firmly.
"Juliett… I want… to be very rough with you." My breath hitched in my throat at the thought of him unleashing himself on me, but I was also curious about why the change in the dynamic of our relationship. I swallowed hard, heat coursing through me at Bellamy's words. His eyes burned with an intensity I'd never seen before, making me shiver with anticipation and a hint of nervousness.
"Bellamy," I said softly, cupping his face in my hands. "I trust you completely. If you want to be rough, then be rough. I can handle it." I paused, biting my lip. "But can I ask... why the change? You've never wanted to be this... dominant before." Bellamy's expression softened slightly, though the desire in his eyes remained. He pressed his forehead to mine, taking a deep breath.
"Losing you... it broke something in me, Juliett," he murmured. "When I thought you were dead, I felt like a part of me had died too. And then getting you back, only to almost lose you all over again. It made me realize how precious you are to me, how much I need you. And now… I want to claim you, to mark you as mine in every way possible." His hand came up to gently cup my cheek. "I want to worship your body, to make you feel so good you forget everything but my name. But I also want to dominate you, to make you submit completely. And you have a tendency to be impatient when you're hurt which drives me absolutely insane." Bellamy's words sent a shiver through me, a mix of emotion and desire coursing through my body.
I stroked his cheek gently, encouraging him to continue. "I need to feel in control," he admitted softly. "To know that you're here, that you're mine. I want to claim every inch of you, to erase the memory of ever being apart." His eyes met mine, dark and intense. "But only if you want that too. I would never force you into anything you're not comfortable with." I bit my lip, considering his words. The idea of Bellamy unleashing his passion, of claiming me so thoroughly, sent heat pooling low in my belly. But I could also see the vulnerability in his eyes, the fear of rejection.
"Bellamy," I whispered, running my fingers through his hair. "I trust you completely. If this is what you need, what you want, then I'm all in. I'm yours. Completely and utterly yours." Bellamy's eyes darkened at my words, a low growl rumbling in his chest. In one swift motion, he lifted me up and carried me to the bed, laying me down gently. He hovered over me, his eyes burning with intensity.
"Last chance to back out, Songbird," he murmured, his voice low and husky. "Because once I start, I won't be able to hold back." I reached up to cup his face, meeting his gaze steadily.
"I don't want you to hold back," I whispered. "I want all of you, Bellamy. Every part." With a low groan, Bellamy captured my lips in a searing kiss. His hands roamed over my body, leaving trails of fire in their wake as he quickly divested me of my clothing. When I was bare beneath him, he pulled back to look at me, his dark brown eyes full of lust and desire and love. Bellamy's eyes roamed hungrily over my naked body as I lay bare beneath him. His gaze was so intense, so full of raw desire, that I felt heat blooming across my skin.
"God, you're beautiful," he breathed, his voice low and husky. "I'm going to worship every inch of you." He started at my neck, trailing hot open-mouthed kisses along my throat and collarbone. His stubble scraped deliciously against my sensitive skin as he worked his way down to my breasts. I gasped and arched into him as he took one nipple into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the hardened peak before gently grazing it with his teeth.
"Bellamy," I moaned, tangling my fingers in his hair. He chuckled darkly against my skin.
"I've barely started, Songbird." Bellamy's hands and mouth continued their torturous exploration of my body, leaving no inch of skin untouched. By the time he settled between my thighs, I was writhing beneath him, desperate for more.
"Please," I whimpered, lifting my hips in silent invitation. Bellamy chuckled darkly.
"So impatient," he murmured against my inner thigh. "I told you I was going to take my time with you." His hot breath fanned over my center, making me shiver in anticipation. When he finally ran his tongue along my slit, I cried out, my back arching off the bed. Bellamy growled approvingly, the vibrations sending shockwaves of pleasure through me. "You taste divine, Songbird," he groaned before diving back in with renewed fervor. Bellamy's tongue worked me expertly, alternating between broad strokes and teasing flicks against my clit. I writhed beneath him, gasping and moaning as pleasure built low in my belly. Just as I was teetering on the edge of release, Bellamy pulled back. I whimpered at the loss, my hips chasing his mouth.
"Not yet," he growled, his eyes dark with desire. "I want you begging for it." Before I could protest, he slid two fingers inside me, curling them to hit that perfect spot. I cried out, my back arching off the bed. Bellamy set a relentless pace, his fingers pumping in and out as his thumb circled my clit.
"Bellamy, please," I gasped, so close to the edge.
"Please what, Songbird?" I cried out as Bellamy's strong fingers kept assaulting my g-spot, taking so high I thought I was never going to come back down.
"Bellamy!" Bellamy's fingers continued their relentless assault, bringing me right to the edge of release before backing off. I writhed beneath him, desperate for more.
"Tell me what you want, Songbird," Bellamy growled, his voice low and commanding. "I want to hear you say it."
"Please," I gasped, my hips bucking against his hand. "I need to cum. Please, Bellamy."
"Not good enough," he murmured, slowing his movements. "Beg for it." The commanding tone in his voice sent shivers down my spine. I was so close, teetering on the edge of bliss.
"Please, sir," I whimpered, remembering how he'd reacted earlier. "Please let me cum. I need it so badly. I'll do anything, just please don't stop." Bellamy's eyes darkened at my words, a low growl rumbling in his chest.
"Good girl," he purred. "Since you asked so nicely..." He redoubled his efforts, his fingers pumping faster as his thumb circled my clit with renewed vigor. The coil of pleasure inside me wound tighter and tighter until finally, it snapped. I cried out Bellamy's name as waves of ecstasy crashed over me. My back arched off the bed as my inner walls clenched around his fingers. Bellamy worked me through it, drawing out my pleasure until I was a trembling, oversensitive mess beneath him. As I came down from my high, Bellamy slowly withdrew his fingers. I whimpered at the loss, my body still humming with aftershocks. He brought his fingers to his mouth, sucking them clean.
