Chapter Twenty Four

                                    

                                          
I couldn't help but want to roll my eyes as he embraced me. I kept my calm as I tried to smile as he held me close and I softly said, "how thoughtful of you..." He chuckled lowly into my ear and whispered, "I definitely need to keep an eye on you, my little vixen." I paused not knowing if he knew what I was up to or had suspected me but I do know one thing, Hannibal loves to play with his food before devouring it. I sit up and away from him as I rub my eyes and move my hair out of my face as I get out of bed to get dressed. Once I got my clothes out of my dresser, I turned my head over my shoulder to see him watching my every move like a predator watching its prey. I tried to not let it faze me as I got dressed and fully turned to him as he got out of the bed and stood in front of me only in boxers as he towered over me, almost as if he was trying to intimidate me. 
He lifted up my chin to meet his gaze as he looked in my eyes as he held my hand to where my ring was as he brought my hand to his lips to give it a small kiss he asked. "Where are you going, in such a hurry my dear?" I took a deep breath as my heart started to beat faster out of nervousness as my eyes never left his, as if he was challenging me in a way. I tell him, "I'm going out, I figured since this was your day off you would like to spend a little bit alone and prepping things as you see fit and leave the rest to me." His shoulders tense as he grabs my hand a little tighter before letting go after I asked.
 "Why does that upset you?" He chuckled to himself as he said, "Of course not, you are free to do as you like as long as you're not up to anything bad." My heart raced for a second as I kept my composure and cupped his cheeks bringing his face down to mine as our noses touched, I softly said, "of course not, I wish only for the best for us. You know how long I have waited for this, for you and I to be together forever and to see you build such greatness, I wouldn't want to miss it for the world. I'm just nervous because it's a big change and I don't want our time to be cut short" I smirked as I brought him into a tender kiss to make him think I was still my usual self just nervous for the wedding since it would be a big change for us which was a perfect excuse.
 After a moment he pulled away and whispered against my lips, "we have all the time in the world, my dear Raven..." He brought me into another kiss as I pulled away shortly after and backed away from him as he said, "be safe, and come home soon." I nodded and said my goodbyes and exited the bedroom and out the house and walked to the nearby bus stop. It was time to visit Will and come up with a better plan. The snow wasn't as bad as it was a couple of days ago as I took the bus to be dropped off near his house, as I made my way up his driveway once I got off the bus to be swarmed by dogs. He quickly stood up from the bench on his porch and looked at me with conflicting eyes of confusion, anger, and happiness. He grabbed me by my arm after calling the dogs inside as he pulled me inside and looked me in my eyes and asked.
 "Why are you back here?!" I let out a sigh as I softly said, "I believe you..." He looked at me in disbelief almost, he was trying to say something but couldn't get the words out as he then suddenly kissed me. I was surprised at first but went along with it as I cried happy tears knowing someone was going through almost the same thing I was. The kiss deepend, the kiss growing passionately, his tongue tangling with mine in a sensual dance. As my hands traced over his clothed chest and unzipped his jacket soon after as I took off my coat and tossed it to the side.
 His hand moved up to cup my breasts as we fell back on his bed, our clothes shed quickly, our lips never breaking apart, he let out a low growl against my lips. Our bodies pressed together, my desire overflowing. Without breaking the kiss, he uses his free hand to guide his member in between my legs pressing his erect length against my slick folds just teasing me. As his other hand roamed freely over my body, fondling my breasts, his kisses trailing down from my lips to my neck and collarbone, with each kiss he nipped and sucked leaving red marks scattered around. I moaned softly as he took my nipple into his mouth, rolling it between his teeth while his fingers explored further south of my body, dipping into my wetness to find my clit.
 I moaned as I spread my legs wider for him, I couldn't wait any longer as I said, "please, no more waiting or teasing I need it..." I saw the big grin on his face and he no longer hesitate no more as he positioned himself at my entrance and thrust in me slowly at first as our hips soon collide forcefully, filling the room with sounds of skin slapping against skin and wet flesh, as he grabs a hold of my thighs spreading them wide. He begins to move faster and harder in me, hitting every sweet spot in me as I gripped the sheets gritting my teeth from how good it felt until I latched onto his shoulders, my nails digging into his shoulders as I met with every thrust, our bodies slick with sweat as we moved as one. I moan loudly as I lean into his ear and whisper, "put your hands on me, and go deeper I want to hear more of you..."He releases my thighs to wrap around his hands around my waist holding me securely as he pushes deeper into me as I throw my head back, as it got harder to breath. He let out low growls and asked. "You like that?"
 His words laced with possession the moment I gasped and moaned as I felt his cock throbbing against my cervix, filling me completely. The feeling of the pain and pleasure send shockwaves through my body leaving my body almost numb as my legs shake uncontrollably. I could feel my heart pounding as I left kisses along his neck. Will's hands instinctively shifted to cradle my head as he gazed into my eyes. As he lets out a shuddering sigh as we lay by one another our chests rising and falling in tandem our hearts racing as we try to process what just happened.
 He then gets up after a moment as I sit there on the bed, he cracks a window and lights a cigarette as I get up and embrace him from behind and say, "I can feel your heartbeat..." He flicks the ash from his cigarette as he exhales slowly and looks over his shoulder at me and asks. "Yeah?" He asked so casually, not even turning his face fully to me, I could tell that despite the nonchalant tone, there's a hint of vulnerability in his voice. I lean in to kiss his cheek, causing him to turn slightly more to capture my lips for a moment, his thumb brushes a strand of hair that had fallen as he whispers, "thank you..." I knew he was thanking me for believing in him. His eyes met with mine once more, but I turned to walk away and suddenly felt an embrace from behind as he rested his chin on the top of my head.
 I smiled softly and unconsciously said, "you must love me or something." His grip on the cigarette tightens as he exhales heavily, the smoke trailing to the ceiling as he continues to hold me close, that's when I got the feeling I had messed up. I could tell the thought weighed heavily on his shoulders and mind at just the thought, I gulped as he turned his head further to face me as our noses almost touching his eyes bore into mine just like how I used to look at Hannibal searching for any deception or manipulation. His voice was barely a whisper as he said, "maybe I want to, maybe I do..." I chuckle softly as he reminds me of myself. Once he finished his cigarette and laid in bed, I would lay my head on his bare chest as he ran his fingers through my hair as he asked.
 "What do we do about Hannibal?" I let out a sigh and looked up at him and said, "he is a mass murder and he always makes sure he never leaves a trace so catching him would be difficult. So I suggest we trap him, he'll be distracted with the wedding and such that all I have to do is not get caught and once he slips up, we use it to our full advantage." He smiles and nods in agreement as he moves to an off topic he said, "when it's all said and done. Will you come back to me?"
I knew he meant well, but the thought of being more then trauma bonding buddies who every now and then fuck, felt uneasing. His fingers continued to dance lightly down my bare back, seeking comfort as I let out a sigh and admitted, "I don't know... honestly I didn't think ANY of this would happen, it's all so confusing and conflicting." I saw a bit of sadness in his eyes but he understood and I caressed his face and said, "maybe when it's all over, I can give you an answer but as of right now I can't give you what you want or need." nodded as I got up to get dressed as he sat up underneath the covers watching me as he asked. "Where are you going?"
 I let out an annoyed sigh and said, "back to the mass murder's house, I told him I would be back soon and I was gone longer than I planned." He let out a sigh as he laid back down and I grabbed my coat and left to catch the next bus as I got on and headed to the store to grab some things to make it look less suspicious and once I grabbed a lot of groceries I headed back to the house and walked in taking off my coat and sitting the groceries on the counter. I took a deep breath to turn around and see Hannibal observing me as I jumped back and said, "don't scare me like that!" He chuckled and said, "sorry my dear, I didn't mean to" I let out a sigh as I brushed it off as he leaned down to my neck as he kissed my neck several times and then suddenly stopped as he turned to meet my eyes, he asked. "Who did you see today?"
