Chapter 30

                                    

                                          
I swore I was going to strangle Cerulean. "Will you stop for two seconds?  The doctor said you still need to take it easy."
                          
She frowned at me. "But... all the dust an-"
                          
I gently pulled her to me and hugged her, I didn't realize she would freak out when she saw the apartment was literally left to sit since the incident. She started to wipe things down and clean immediately. "I'll have it taken care of, please, rest."
                          
She squirmed in my arms, restless. "I've been in a bed for the better part of three weeks."
                          
I sighed and guided her to the couch. "Okay, not in bed, but I can dust and stuff while you watch TV or something."
                          
She pursed her lips. "Bu-"
                          
I kissed them softly, enjoying their softness. "I'm serious. Sit still, you've been all over the place since you got out."
                          
She huffed. "You won't do it right."
                          
I gently tugged her hair. "If you want I can ask Lori."
                          
She frowned. "No need to bother her when I ca-"
                          
I shook my head. "Sit and relax." I handed her the remote and went to straighten things up even changing the bed so she wouldn't try herself. I chuckled as I did it, she really is a clean freak and I never noticed, just thinking she liked things organized. I imagine she sanitized the entire apartment after I left her that night.
                          
When I finished she was sleeping, so I gently lifted and carried her to the bed, she grimaced and frowned at me. "I can walk."
                          
I put her in bed and laid beside her. "Stop being so stubborn."
                          
She pursed her lips. "Not stubborn, facts." I couldn't help but to kiss them again. "Stop that."
                          
I chuckled. "If you'd stop poking them out I would. They beg for the attention."
                          
She pressed them together. "Do not."
                          
I just shook my head. "Go back to sleep."
                          
She sat up. "I don't want to."
                          
I rolled my eyes. "Must you fight me about everything?"
                          
She smiled. "Yup. It's the highlight of my very shitty life."
                          
I smiled and stroked her cheek. "Really, how are you feeling?"
                          
She shrugged. "Okay, I can see and my brain isn't broken so..."
                          
I sighed sadly, gently touching the thin line on her neck. "I hate that this happened."
                          
She caught it. "I'm alive... that's what's important."
                          
I couldn't meet her eyes. "Yeah..."
                          
She took my face in her hands. "You were there, Daniel... you've been here as much as you could after."
                          
I turned and kissed one. "I was terrified, Cerulean... what they were trying to do, then the gun... I was helpless. I cou-"
                          
She leaned forward and pressed her lips to mine. "You came, you fought, you stayed. You can't control what others do, just you."
                          
I blinked.  The only other time she initiated a kiss was when she was trying to keep her family from murder. "Sure your brain isn't broken?"
                          
She smirked. "Nope, who knows... when it's better I may just kick you out."
                          
I bit my lip. "Better use it to my advantage then."

Daniel caught my lips in his again. I wrapped my arms around his neck, enjoying the feel, his taste, how he was fighting to be gentle. He bit my bottom lip and I whimpered before opening my mouth to him. We dueled for dominance as he trailed his fingers down my neck, making it tingle and me pull him closer.
                          
I bit his lip, suckling as he groaned and pulled me to straddle him. His hand gripped my ass and I gasped when he squeezed. He took the opportunity to assault my neck and shoulders, free hand burning my skin as it found its way under my shirt to my breast. I flinched when it grasped my breast, making him freeze.
                          
I was breathless and I kissed him again, leaning into it, begging him for more. When he began to kneaded I had to break away, panting as a sweet sensation washed over me in waves. My body moved on its own as my hips grinded into his, him pulling my top and bra off. He brushed his lips down my chest and my breathing ceased when he flicked his tongue across a nipple.
                          
He left me gasping when he began to suckle, moving so I lay beneath him, his erection moving against my core. It was too much, it felt too good, I couldn't get enough. "Fuck... Daniel..."
                          
I pressed myself more firmly against him, but he ignored me, refusing to touch me any further. "Daniel, please..." I didn't quite understand what I wanted, only that I wanted more.
                          
He lifted his head and nuzzled my neck. "Relax, Cerulean." He bit down on the spot and I arched beneath him as I moaned. "I'll take care of you."
                          
I could only nod as his was driving me mad. My head fell back as I surrendered to his touch, one hand kneading a breast, teasing and pinching as he mouth began to work on the other. His free hand gliding over my skin setting fire everywhere he touched until he reached between us and cupped my sex.
                          
I flinched as I whimpered then moved against it. He groaned as he started to tease me. I couldn't think, sounds cascading from me. He paused as he tugged at my waistband, waiting for my permission. I nodded allowing, him to remove them and my panties in one motion. His eyes roamed my body now naked beneath him and I tried to cover myself, but he caught my hands.
                          
His gaze was hungry as he kissed me softly. "You're beautiful." I sighed as he kissed my neck, his hands returning to explore. When his fingers teased my folds I tensed, making him pause again. "We can stop." I shook my head and he watched as they sunk deeper and found my clit.
                          
I arched, moaning as he circled it, clutching at his arms as a powerful pleasure ran through me. "Please, don't stop." He groaned, lips finding mine again as his fingers teased and prodded, making a pressure build within me. I gripped him tighter, moved my hips against his menstruations, craving relief.
                          
I cried out as I suddenly exploded, stars blooming behind my eyelids. He slowed, but never ceased waiting for me to return to my senses. I was trembling as he planted soft kisses on my face and neck. I blinked away the stars and reached between us, lightly training my fingers along his length.
                          
His breath hitched as he shook his head. "Cerulean..." My fingers didn't stop as I reached into his pants and he froze, fighting himself. "You don-"
                          
I gently took him in my hand. "I want to..." I felt him throb in response. "It's your choice..." His breaths were ragged as I stroked him, he was large. I could tell that much as my hand was barely big enough to wrap around him. 
                          
He caught it and pulled it away, it hurt for some reason, but he kissed me softly. "We can't... I don't have a condom, Babe."
                          
I frowned, but was touched he cared enough to consider it. "Okay..."
                          
He smiled softly and wrapped his arms around me. "I want to, God knows I do, but we can't get pregnant right now, Cerulean."
                          
I nuzzled his neck. "I know." He relaxed and shifted so I laid on his chest. "Aren't guys supposed to have one handy always?"
                          
He chuckled. "Birth control."
                          
I looked up at him. "You don't u-"
                          
He sighed, clearly not wanting to discuss this. "Both parties get tested... so no, birth control covers the pregnancy."
                          
I tilted my head. "Then, if..."
                          
He stroked my hair. "I would have asked and not if you don't want."
                          
I smirked. "Should have been prepared... if my brain gets better then you, missed your chance."
                          
He chuckled and kissed the top of my head. "I'm okay with that, you're worth the wait."
