Caelum.
It was almost midnight by the time Chalice finally stumbled into the house, looking all rough and dishevelled. Her eyes were glazed, her lipstick smeared; even her clothes were rumpled and her hair was practically everywhere, looking just as tangled as a bird’s nest.
My eyes widened when I took in her overall appearance and in mortification, I quickly rose to my feet, draped my arms around her frail shoulders and asked worriedly; "What happened to you?"
"Abby and Chantel got into a fight." She hiccuped, "... and I was rough-housed while trying to separate them."
I didn’t know any Chantel but I had a vague idea on who Abby was. So upon hearing that, my gaze softened. I pulled her closer to my chest whilst stroking her hair.
And call me paranoid but having her this close... with her body pressed against mine, I couldn’t help but perceive a strange scent on her skin. It smelled... different. Wild. With a touch of masculinity that instantly made my blood run cold, and rattled me more than comfort me.
I took in a deep breath, dropping my head until it was almost buried into the crook of her neck, and whispered; "You smell... weird."
She paused. "Huh?"
"I said you smell weird. Different even."
Chalice chuckled but I couldn’t help but notice how forced it sounded. She drawled; "if I smell weird, then it has to be the combination of several people’s scent on me. The fight was pretty intense. Some shirtless boys who’d been skateboarding even had to join in to separate them."
Oh.
Her explanation seemed decent, so after hearing it, I pushed my nasty thoughts away and helped her up again. This time, when I carried her bridal style to the bathroom, she didn’t complain. She simply let me help her... even letting me help her out of her clothes and shoes.
I then gently placed her into the tub filled with warm water and drawled softly; "You should bathe now, okay? I’ll go prepare something for you to eat."
However, I had just pulled away to help her get some shampoo then leave her to do her thing when her hands suddenly circled around my wrists. She purred. "I’ve had dinner."
I smiled. "Okay. That’s fine then,"
"And I want you."
That had me freezing in place. My eyes widened for a nanosecond and I gulped, suddenly feeling my throat go dry; especially when she began to tweak her hardened nipples with her fingers, and making low sexy sounds as she looked into my eyes.
Her eyes met mine sultrily. Seductively. She drawled; "Come join me."
And heavens, I wanted to... I wanted to so badly.
I shook my head, forcing a small smile on my face as I drawled; "No baby. You don’t seem too... you don’t seem too good and my brothers... they’re not here... you know what I mean!" I stuttered, feeling flustered as heat erupted on my face.
But Chalice didn’t seem to care.
She slowly pulled herself up, rising from the tub like a water goddess, and my jaw dropped when droplets of water trailed down her perfect creamy skin like seasoning on a well grilled steak.
"Chalice..." I began to say but stopped when she planted her index finger on my lips.
She whispered; "Shhh...!"
I gulped. "But..."
"Shut up and fuck me!" She snapped impatiently, causing my jaw to drop again.
I tried to tell her off. To shake off her hands now trailing down my body in slow motions and setting my skin ablaze. But the more I tried, the harder it was.
She blocked my path when I tried to walk out of the bathroom, tilted her head to the side and drawled; "You don’t want me?"
Her voice sounded hurt... like she was fighting tears, and that made me feel bad. Instinctively, I wrapped my arms around her body again and drawled into her ear, almost smiling when goosebumps erupted on her skin.
I said; "I want you... you know I do. You know I always would. But baby, you need to rest. You seem very tired and I want you to—"
But before I could even finish that sentence, she draped her arms around my shoulders, pulled herself flush against me and crashed her lips on mine.
My dick stirred like an awakening beast, and with the last thread of restraint I had now gone down the drain, I slammed my lips against hers like a mad man whilst lifting her into my arms.
