The Lunar Destiny Series

Chapter 11

Three days passed at my house like a fading dream. We spent most of our time cooking for each other, going out to the movies, and laying around in my room watching TV. It might not sound very exciting but we both enjoyed ourselves, it’s something we had both needed badly. It’s now day four; Saturday night, and unfortunately all good things must come to an end. Lio used some of his vacation time to be with me and he only had two days left. He’d told me he needed to use the last two to finish up some floor plans needed for an upcoming project at work. He was doing well for himself, very well. I appreciated that ambition and drive in a man.

I had just finished a nice hot shower and I was thankful my bathroom was in my bedroom. I didn’t have to take that freezing walk back, which was nice. When I opened the bathroom door, all of the trapped steam flowed out into the bedroom like a foggy phantom. The only light in the room was coming from my TV. Lio was laying in my bed in all of his nude glory with one hand behind his head and the other resting on his stomach with the remote in hand. My entrance caught his attention and he looked away from whatever he was watching, to me. He smiled warmly and I smiled back.

“Watching anything interesting?” I asked as I tossed my clothes into the laundry bin.

“Not really, there’s only late night talk shows on right now.” He seemed to pause in the middle of his sentence and I looked over at him curiously.

“You smell like grapefruit juice and vanilla, I like it.”

His comment made me blush. I held my towel tightly so he couldn’t get a peek by accident. I hadn’t had s*x with him yet so I didn’t plan on showing him more than I wanted him to see. I walked further into the room and Lio started to sit up. He sat up on the bed, watching me so intently it was a little disturbing. I had to walk around the foot of the bed to get to the dresser. I tried to pretend that Lio wasn’t staring at me like a Lion about to pounce a gazelle, but when he got up on his knees I stopped moving entirely. I was a little more than arms length away from the side of the bed. I’m referring to mine, which weren’t as long as his so he wasn’t too far away. I looked him in the eyes and I couldn’t help but be fearful of what might be going through his mind. His expression was unreadable. It was like he saw me, but not really. It was strangely animalistic. My anxiety intensified as I watched him tilt his head to the side like a curious bird, but I stood frozen.

“…You’re scared, don’t be.”

He said in a low voice that held something similar to a growl inside of it. My breaths were slow and careful. I was afraid to breathe too loud as if that would trigger some impulse in him. I risked a glance below his waist and saw that he was steadily becoming fully erect. I quickly looked back up into his eyes and they were even shinier from the TV light reflecting off of them. They almost looked as fearsome as they did during that incident with Lisette a few days ago. However, this was clearly different as there was a certain degree of gentleness in them.

“I can’t control what my eyes look like when I get aroused. I must look strange to you now; It’s your fear. It’s exciting to me…First I smelled your sweet scent, now I’m seeing you in only a towel…”

He paused, his eyes wandering down my body briefly before meeting my eyes again.

“Knowing that towel is the only thing hiding you from my eyes makes me all the more anxious. You’ve never been so close to being naked with me before, Astraia. Something that I’ve been denied…So close now, it’s too much to bear.”

He said, shaking his head. He ran his fingers through those jet black curls and they fell back around his face. I noticed it was something he did out of habit when he spoke. I had been getting dressed in the bathroom all of this time, I felt we were comfortable enough with each other that he could stand to see me in a towel for a moment. I thought wrong. While he sat up on his knees speaking more calmly than he looked, I still desired him. Lio attracted me like a moth to a flame, there was no denying it. However, at that moment I was terrified of him.

“Calm down Astraia. You can see what your fear is doing to me. I would never hurt you, not ever. You can trust me, I swear. Just calm down…Please.” He pleaded in the most soothing voice.

I tried so hard to believe that he wouldn’t go into beast mode and attack me. I took a few deep breaths but I continued clutching my towel to my body as if my life depended on it.

“Lio, you’re scaring me…”

My voice sounded so shaky and fragile but I couldn’t help it. It was then that he held his hand out slowly to me and I just stared at it.

“Come to me, please. I don’t want you to ever be afraid of me, Astraia. There’s no reason to fear me.”

‘Yeah, right. And little red riding hood didn’t get eaten by the big bad wolf’ I thought to myself.

Alright, bad example.

I had envisioned him staying in that pose all night until I fell asleep standing up. Yeah sure, I can do that…Damn it! This is silly! He would come to me if I didn’t go to him, and there was no telling what he would do if he got off of the bed.

I went to him timidly and took his hand, it was normal. No claws like I had been picturing in my head. He pulled me towards him slowly until my legs touched the edge of the bed. Lio closed the distance between us and now his legs as well as his fully erect shaft were pushed against me. Only the towel and my stubbornness kept us apart. His strong arms wrapped around my waist as he laid his head against my breasts. I finally released my grip on the towel and placed my hands into his thick, silky black curls. I’d tucked the end of my towel into the part that was against my body the best I could. But as determined as Lio was, I doubted that it would stay. I heard him sigh while I played in his hair.

“Astraia?” He said my name like it was a question.

“Yes?” I said, still running my fingers through his hair.

If I focused on something else other than the current situation I could resist the urge to jump out of my own window. Yes, it was that serious.

“I know you are guarding yourself with me in every possible way. Let me in, please…”

He slowly moved his head up to look at me with those strange, shining silver eyes. I looked away from that intense gaze shaking my head.

“I don’t think that I can. I don’t want to be hurt again, Lio.”

I felt his hands move down my body to my lower back and stop just above the swell of my buttocks. I looked down at him wondering what he would do next.

“I don’t want to be hurt again either. I didn’t approach you with ill intentions from the beginning. Give us a try. I know it’s hard to start over again when the scars from the last betrayal aren’t fully healed. Just try Astraia, as I am. I’ll do everything I can to keep you happy…”

The intensity in his eyes never wavered as he spoke. All the while I could still feel him stretched hard against me, waiting eagerly for release. I’d never heard such heartfelt words while a man had an erection, but there’s a first time for everything.

Lio leaned in towards my neck and started kissing there softly. I closed my eyes and leaned my head forward onto his.

“Lio…No. If you start this…”

I couldn’t finish my sentence because he started a rhythm of sucking and gently biting all the way down to my chest where the towel met my breasts.

“Whatever I start…I…Finish…” He whispered in between nibbles and kisses.

He continued to make a long, wet trail down to the top of my left breast and that’s when I felt his hands move from my lower back to the front of the towel. His fingers slid into the fold of the towel and my eyes sprung open. Lio stared up at me as he pulled the towel down far enough to free the soft, supple mounds that were my breasts. He looked down at them seemingly admiring them for a moment before he opened his mouth and took my right n****e and part of the areola into his mouth.

I moaned a little as he sucked and licked on me. It was a sensation I hadn’t felt in a long time. He released my n****e from his mouth, then proceeded to tease my left one with equal attention. I felt the lower regions of my body tighten and I squeezed my thighs together briefly. There was a wetness accumulating between my thighs and a desire that had replaced my fear. Lio released my left n****e from his mouth and looked up at me.

“May I have you tonight?” He said to me in a seductive growl of a voice.

The way his voice sounded in that moment I would have let him do anything he wanted to me. I couldn’t speak. I knew what the answer would be. Looking into his eyes I wanted him so much it hurt. I started nodding slowly. I couldn’t seem to stop myself. Without another word, he pulled the bath towel off of me and let it drop to the floor.

I let my hands rest at my sides and he moved back to take in the view before him. A smile of pure awe fell onto his face and I blushed.

“You are just…All that you are is beautiful.”

I smiled at his compliment and was pleasantly surprised. Lio was around a lot of women almost all of the time; I thought he might have become jaded to beautiful women. I’m glad I was wrong. I watched his eyes wander to my pelvic area and he happened to be staring quite intently.

“What’s the matter?” I asked.

“You have a mark here; it’s shaped like a crescent moon.” He said in a voice that sounded somewhat distant.

“Oh, it’s just a birthmark. I didn’t hurt myself or anything.” I said nonchalantly.

Lio kept his eyes on my birthmark as he got down on all fours on the bed. I quickly became confused. He lowered his face inches away from the mark and kissed there before he rubbed his cheek against my skin softly. He suddenly got off of the bed after the strange act, making me step back a little. I stood there watching him curiously as he stood in front of me. I looked up at him waiting for him to say something but he simply smiled before he placed his hands onto my hips, lifting me up above his shoulders as if I weighed nothing. My hands touched the ceiling and I looked down at him with wide eyes.

“Put your legs over my shoulders and try not to wiggle…”

He told me. I didn’t question him; I just did as he told me to.

The next thing I knew, his face was between my legs licking all of the slick nectar away that had seeped out from the most intimate part of me. I cried out helplessly when he sucked on the sensitive bundle of nerves between my lower lips. It wasn’t very gentle, a pleasurable pain. He kept the sensitive bud of flesh in his mouth, sucking on it like it was the most succulent piece of candy he’d ever had. I could feel the orgasm building up slowly...stronger... until it washed over me in an intense wave of bursting pleasure that made something between a moan and a scream escape my mouth. Lio started to lower me back down from his shoulders and I moved my legs off of them. Instead of setting me down on my own two feet, he laid me down on the bed against the pillows and sat in between my legs. With his left hand he traced small circles on my left thigh with his finger tips. He used the back of his right hand to wipe away the wetness from his lips and chin.

I looked down at him to see that he was at ‘full attention’ and his size was impressive to say the least. I was almost tempted to change my mind, almost. I turned on my side and reached for the drawer to the nightstand. Searching blindly for a condom.

I felt that familiar square shaped foil and took my hand away from the drawer. It was a magnum left over from my unfortunate relationship. This would be one thing left that I would be able to use to put him out of my mind for good. Lio took the condom from me and put it on.

“Just for future reference I’m immune to all diseases because of what I am. You’ll never have to worry about getting anything from me.” He said proudly. I smirked, because he’d forgotten something just as important.

“I won’t have to worry about anything except a pregnancy you mean.”

He raised an eyebrow at me.

“Of course. I know we need to be careful, Astraia.”

I laughed a little. “Good.”

He leaned forward and grabbed me by the hip, pushing me onto my stomach. I went up on my hands and knees and stuck out my backside. I tried to figure out what he wanted based on his body language.

I felt him mounting me from behind, placing his hands on my hips to keep my body steady. It wasn’t long before I felt him pushing himself into me slowly, inch by hard inch. I was even slicker now from him tasting me earlier so he slid in easily. I was relieved he hadn’t entered the ‘back door’. I scooted my legs together in between his so that his legs were on either side of me. Lio leaned over me, as he was tall enough that he could put his head next to mine. His strong hands laid over mine and our fingers laced together firmly. I felt his lips brush against my left ear softly and his hair tickling my right shoulder.

“So tight and wet…I want you wetter…” He whispered against my ear.

Chills ran down my back as his words echoed through my mind on a constant loop. Aside from his length, he had girth so he filled me completely. He started slow, long strokes in and out…In and out. He kissed my neck and then nibbled on my earlobe, releasing little mewling sounds from me. Lio rewarded me with faster strokes and tender kisses on my shoulders. I started feeling that familiar heat well up inside of me until I screamed my orgasm for him. Lio’s breathing turned into pants, his hands held mine firmly to steady us both.

“Yes, Astraia…Scream out to me again…”

He whispered into my ear as he pushed himself into me further, making me cry out again.

“Lio!”

My reaction made him laugh that alluring, masculine laugh before he started doing deep, slower strokes again. My body felt like it was tingling all over with his warmth, inside and out. He let go of my hands, moving them to my hips.

It seemed that he was moving in and out even easier than before and I knew I had to be dripping wet now.

“Faster…Please, faster Lio…” I begged helplessly.

He shook his head no against my cheek over and over before he gave a sudden thrust that forced me to cry out again. I’d never tried this position before and there was something about it that let him hit my spot just right. He hadn’t gone in any further as far as I could tell; damn he was good.

“No, no, no. I must be careful with you. Your body is different from that of a shifter. I could…I could seriously hurt you if I was as rough as I wanted to be…Do you understand?” He whispered nearly breathless to me, but I didn’t want to hear no.

“Just a little faster, please…” I said whining like a spoiled thing now.

“I will Astraia, be patient. I will when the time is right…”

And he did as he promised. That moment before a man climaxes and he increases his speed for the finale. I was so anxious, he felt so good inside of me. I tried pushing against his thrusts but he’d just pull back before my hips could meet his rhythm.

“Lio…Deeper…Faster…” I said as my breathing quickened with each word.

This time he ignored my first request but granted the latter and sped up more than he had before. I could hear his breathing starting to turn into panting now, followed by deep moans. I was close again. I could feel my orgasm building up inside of me. This time, we both became consumed by our waves of pleasure. Lio moaned a little louder and I echoed him each time. I felt his hands gripping my hips even tighter as his hips smashed against my ass. His nails were cut but I could feel them slightly digging into me. I was too absorbed in my own pleasure to care.

We quieted as the waves of pleasure faded away. Lio stopped moving and pulled out of me painfully slow. He let me feel every inch of him leave until he was completely out. I gasped at the feel of his tip coming out. I heard a faint, heavy, wet sounding thump that I assumed was his shaft falling slightly flaccid against his thigh. I laid down on my back again, and then I felt Lio touch my leg. I looked up at him with half closed eyes to see his body glistening with sweat beads like mine was. He scooted back and lowered himself between my legs; his eyes locked onto mine. I felt his warm tongue lapping up all of the sweet bounty he’d caused to flow. I sighed when he finished, completely content. Lio moved up between my legs until his face was above mine. He planted a sweet kiss on my forehead.

“That was amazing, truly. I’d almost forgotten what it’s like to be gentle…” He said, sounding slightly embarrassed.

I didn’t know what kind of rough s*x he was used to, and I didn’t want to know. I’m just glad he didn’t forget I was human and had things go in a totally different direction.

“I have to take another shower now, I could use some company.” I said smiling. He grinned before claiming my lips.

“I’d love to join you.”

He said before getting off of me and crawling out of the bed. As I watched him walk to the bathroom, I couldn’t think of anything else but the feeling of him inside of me, and I wanted more. All of my doubts and fears had been stuffed away. For now…
