Alexis woke to a soft breeze blowing through the open balcony doors. She rolled over and looked around the room in the light of pre-dawn. She started to sit up but stopped when she saw Sully. He was kneeling down on the balcony, facing the ocean, in only his jeans. As she watched he brought his arms out in an invocation to the gods. She realized he was in the process of a morning ritual – the same one she had done numerous times before her family was killed, but not since.
She knew she should have looked away, to let him pray in privacy, but there was something about the way the dim light hit the muscles of his arms & back, making it impossible for her to look away. She watched in complete silence until he was finished, then felt herself blush when he looked over his shoulder, catching and holding her eyes.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered, as he walked over to the bed and leaned over her.
“Why? I’m not ashamed of what I do, Lexi,” he said softly, brushing her lips gently.
“I always prayed in solitude; I didn’t like anyone to watch me. I didn’t want to seem like I was intruding,” she tried explaining, but Sully was making it damn near impossible to think straight when he was so close.
“It doesn’t bother me if someone sees me or not. Especially if that someone is as beautiful as you.” He kissed her gently, but passionately, stopping her from saying anything further. He wrapped one arm around her, then laid her down on her back, pinning her gently underneath him.
She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer. She was suddenly aware of his hand under her T-shirt and the passion he was able to awaken so quickly. He had been very patient with her the last week, not pressuring her into anything; he seemed to be perfectly content to just hold her as they slept.
She moaned softly as his hand brushed lightly against her left breast and he broke the kiss, looking down into her green eyes. “Do you want me to stop?”
“No, Sully. Don’t stop this time,” Alexis whispered, pulling him back down to continue the kiss.
He smiled slightly, as he kissed her gently, letting her set the pace. He felt her hands tremble as she ran them over his shoulders & down his arms. She then moved her hands to his chest but stopped at the waist of his jeans. She paused only briefly, then he felt her unfasten the button of his jeans.
He moved off of her for a moment as he pushed his jeans off, then crawled back under the covers with her. He pulled her to him, kissing her passionately.
A few minutes later, she pulled away from him and sat up, pulling her shirt off and throwing it on the floor. She then moved over Sully, letting her long hair fall over his hands and chest.
She began placing light kisses & gentle nips from his lips, down his neck to his chest. When she got to the small nipple ring, she gave it a gentle tug, causing him to groan loudly in pleasure. He wrapped his hands in her hair, pulling her up to his lips again, kissing her deeply.
Sully quickly flipped her over and proceeded to place kisses down her jaw, to her neck, breasts and then down to her tummy, where he flicked his tongue around her belly ring, causing her to gasp slightly. He slid her thong off, then moved lower, causing her to cry out in surprise and ecstasy. He smiled to himself, continuing the sweet torture for a few more minutes before moving up to her lips once again.
As he kissed her, he eased himself into her. He growled softly as he felt her wrap her legs around his waist, pulling him deeper. He paused briefly, then continued to move, feeling her meet his thrusts.
They moved quickly, meeting each other’s movements, both needing the release they could give each other. Sully growled low as he thrust harder and faster, then cried out as he released himself deep into Alexis, feeling her nails rake his back; Alexis cried out Sully’s name as he took her over the edge.
They collapsed, exhausted. Sully gently rolled off of her, holding her close. He brushed her hair away from her face as she settled against his chest.
“Are you ok, Lexi?”
“I’m fine. But thank you for letting me make the decision. I just wanted to be sure that I was ready again. It’s been a while,” she said quietly.
“I could tell. I didn’t want to rush you into anything, baby. I wanted it to be your decision.” He ran his hand through her hair, placing a gentle kiss on the top of her head, before they both drifted off to sleep again.
