CHAPTER 99: A Breath of Forever
Jos fidgeted against the strap of her cami as Arei nudged it to the side for a third time. Hot, devouring kisses followed undressing fingers. Her nervous gaze continued to move past the opened bathroom door to the closed and locked master bedroom door. "We should hurry… what… what if something happens? What if your father needs us? What if-"
Arei chuckled against her throat as he placed more kisses there. "Though he may not have always been the best or the most present father ever, he is still a father and has raised many… many children, Jos. I believe he can handle two babies the next two hours or so." His smile widened as her shocked eyes whipped around to meet his.
"Two hours?!"
His devilish grin widened. "You're right. It has been quite some time since we've been intimate perhaps two hours won't be enough after all…" He slid his hand under the neckline of the thin top and cupped a well-rounded breast, the nipple hardening against his palm as he did. "It doesn't seem like your body has any objections… so why is your mind objecting so ardently?"
Jos bit her lip as she leaned her head against his chest enjoying the feel of his hands as they glided seductively over her flesh. "I want you, body and soul… I just worry for the children… hahh…" She moaned has his hand dipped between her thighs and began caressing her through the thin fabric of the silk pants she wore. "Ah… it… feels goo-Ah!" She quickly turned and pushed against his chest holding him out at arm's length. "I mean… it feels wrong to be doing this while baby sitting Cam and with it being Shiori's first night here as well."
Arei removed her hand from his chest and brought it to his lips. He placed a kiss against her palm before stroking his bearded face against it. "Maybe that's exactly why I want to celebrate. The pieces of our life are finally falling into place. You're finally getting the things you want… and perhaps I'm simply excited that it will mean I shall get what I want." He tugged her close as confusion began to mask her beautiful face.
"I don't understand… What is it that you want?"
He left her hand to dangle around his neck as he lowered his lips to hers. "You… all of you to call my own. Forever and always, mine." He placed a lingering kiss to her lips tugging her bottom lip lightly as he pulled away playfully. "I've already waited several lifetimes. How many more are you going to make me wait?"
"You mean marriage? You're asking if I'm ready? Now that we have Shiori?" Jos stared up into his eyes reading the longing and question there without doubt this was exactly what he was asking.
"You know it is, and not because it is what the council orders or because it is what will be expected of us in order to keep her… but what you want… what you are truly ready for… with me…"
Jos nodded. "It has always ever only been you." She cupped his cheek. "There has never been anyone I've ever love more or ever wanted to spend my life with… not in this way."
Arei searched her eyes. "No one else in any capacity?"
Jos smiled sheepishly. "No, no man, woman, fairy, werewolf, or god… only you."
He pulled her closer as he pressed his forehead against hers. "Then you'll marry me, for real and not because it has been ordered of you?"
"Yes." She giggled as she nodded against his forehead still cupping his large face between her palms.
"No more waiting?"
"No more waiting." Jos replied as she pressed against him more and kissed him. "As soon as tomorrow if you want…" She giggled before adding. "Tonight even. Wanna fly to Vegas?" She blew out a sigh as she tightened her arms around his neck and held his warm gaze. "I love you."
He tightened his arms around her and lifted her off the ground. "I love you more." He spun her in a half circle before stomping over to the full tub with her still in his arms. Just as his first foot stepped into the water, she began to struggle in his arms.
"Arei, wait! I'm still dressed!"
He chuckled as he held onto her tighter. "And whose fault is that? I tried undressing you, and you fought against me." He stepped his other foot into the water.
"Arei! NO! These are silk! You'll ruin them!" She shouted as she struggled against his hold more.
His arms tightened more as his lips landed on hers. "Then I'll buy you another pair." He muttered as he lowered them both into the water.
Her breath caught as the warm bath water began to saturate the thin material making it cling to her body. "Arei this is insane. Just let me take my clothes off."
One massive hand clasped her breast easily finding her pert nipple through the saturated fabric, his hot husky voice tickling the back of her neck as he whispered. "Not a chance. You look sexy as hell right now like this." He gave her breast a squeeze pinching her nipple between his thumb and fingertip. He pressed himself into her back as he cradled her between his legs. "Surely you can tell how arousing I find being able to see your tiny pink nipples through the thin wet material of your strappy little undershirt, right?"
Jos wiggled against him as she corrected. "Cami… it's called a cami…"
"Um… Cami…" He growled huskily as he bent over her bringing his lips to the outline in question and sucked her nipple through the silk. He slipped his other hand along her stomach slowly until it found the hot apex of her thighs where the fabric of her dress pants bunched the most. He carefully tangled his fingers through the knot of fabric until he met his destination. A curve turned the corner of his lips upwards as he nipped her nipple. "Naughty kitten." He whispered meeting her heated gaze from around the swell of her breast.
Jos swallowed hard. "It's hard to hide the lines of underwear in these…" The rumble of his chuckle sent tingles coursing through her breasts causing her to tighten her hold in his hair. "Arei…" She muttered his name as she wiggled more greedily against his touch.
"Yes, Kitten? Tell me what you want. I only want to please you."
Jos tossed her head back as his skilled fingers pressed the silk rhythmically against her clit causing sensations she'd not expected. "Please, just fuck me…" She whined impatiently.
He shifted her in his arms giving himself better access to her body. "Not yet, Kitten. It's been a while since we've had a chance to make love. I want to make the most of the time we have. I want to please you… worship you… to satisfy needs you yourself didn't realize you had."
Jos swallowed hard as she peeked out from vailed lashes. "Arei… I already know I want you… that you can please me… You were the first to do so and have done so many times over a span of many… many years…"
His eyes narrowed as he bit into his lower lip seductively. "Yes… but I want to prove to you that my tricks have not ran out, that our love making will not grow stale with the coming years. Forever for us will be many lifetimes; and I do plan on making good on forever, kitten."
She braced her hands against the edges of the bathtub as his hands brought forth her first orgasm of the night. "I… Ah… see… Nooo-ah… problem with your… skills… Ah…" She bit down into her lip as she tried to fight against the pleasure."
A mischievous smile curved his lips. "Then perhaps it's just the egotistical male within me that insists on proving my skill and worth to myself then…" He suddenly shifted his hand. He began sliding his fingers along either side of her folds and used his thumb to massage her clit. His smile widened as her eyes bugged and her fingers dug into the sides of the tub. "Either way I'll make tonight memorable for you. You'll not regret choosing tonight as the night you finally decide to officially say yes and accept my proposal."
Jos bit back a gasp of pleasure. "Can't it just be-ee memorable because I said yes… Ah…" She couldn't help but toss her head back as he pressed harder against her clit. She clasped her thighs together but it only caused the sensations and pressure from his touch to increase. She lurched forward and grabbed his wrist. "Arei, please…"
"Please, what?" He teased still moving his fingers and thumb against her.
"Fuck me." She whispered against his lips before teasing the full curve of his bottom lip with the tip of her tongue. "I need you… it's been too long." She wrestled the wet cami over her head and flung it to the floor with a soggy thud. She turned in his arms and straddled his lap shaking her head as she reached between them and undone his belt. "I'm pretty sure leather doesn't do well in water either."
Arei shrugged. "Used to do fine back in the day…"
"Well, it's not the 1700's anymore, darling. You need to take better care of your things." She purred against his lips as she worked the buckle loose and pulled it free of his pants.
"Whatever you say, wifie." He dug his fingers into her hips as he ground himself against her.
She narrowed her eyes as she folded the belt and smacked him across the chest with the wet leather leaving a red streak. "You know both of us can play this game of yours… right?"
He growled as he bucked under her. "You're talking to a fucking horse, I look forward to it." He grabbed her wrists and pulled her closer before whispering heatedly against her ear. "I just hope you're planning on hitting harder. He nipped and tugged at her earlobe before letting his lips trail down her throat. He nipped and sucked leaving faint marks along the way as he went.
Jos gasped as she leaned into his administrations. "I've never… what… what would you want me to do?"
He made short work of the fastenings of her pants. "I'm yours, do with me as you like." He nipped the thin curve of her shoulder as he tried sliding the pants down but realized the clinging pants were not going to budge. "You said these were ruined, right?"
Jos nodded, a moan slipping past her lips as he rolled his hips against her. She clutched the belt in both hands as she squirmed against him with pleasure. Her eyes popped open as the sound of muffled ripping tore through the silence of the bathroom. Without thinking she smacked the belt across his chest again. "You just ripped them!"
"Ah, it would appear so." He chuckled huskily as he continued to tear at the fabric. He leaned forward and nipped her pouting lower lip. "Is that love tap all you're going to give me for doing so?"
Her mouth dropped open as he caused the fabric to bite into her delicate folds. "Arei!" She called out, nearly being lifted from his lap as he pulled away the last lingering threads of cloth separating him from his destination. She involuntarily dropped the belt and clung to his shoulders as he drove himself upward into her. "Arei, wait! You're too big. I'm not ready!"
He gripped her hips pressing just past the first piercing through the head of his shaft into her. "You feel plenty ready, kitten…" He purred huskily against her neck as he continued licking and sucking his way up and down the length of each side. When she didn't reply he snickered before nipping down on her collarbone. Jos let out a grunt of discomfort and nudged him back toward her neck. He arched his brow mischievously before biting her again.
"Ouch! Damnit! Why do you keep biting so much!" She huffed as she pushed him away.
He shrugged as he held her in place on his shaft. "Unruly, untrained horses bite… What are you going to do about it?"
Jos narrowed her eyes. "Unruly horses you say?" She grabbed the wet, discarded belt and laced one end through the buckle before hooking it over his head. She held his eyes, excitement radiating from them as she pressed the leather into his waiting, open mouth. "Is this what you want? Rode like a horse in this form too? Fine…" She tightened the belt and held the buckle in her hand behind his head. She gripped his shoulder with the other hand as tight as she could and forced herself down onto his full length. She slowly began moving while holding the belt buckle firm, not taking her eyes from his. She could feel his cock buck with excitement inside her. "This what you want? You want your giant horse cock to be ridden while your bridled and led about the bedroom? What a dirty animal you are." She began moving faster instinctively, tugging on the belt causing it to pull against his mouth as she did. She could feel her own pleasure build as the row of piercings massaged her inner walls and the balls of the top piercing pressed against her g-spot with each thrust. Just as she began to collapse against his chest, he let out a loud growl. In the next instant, she felt herself being lifted from the water.
Her eyes widened as she watched him bite down into the leather strap in his mouth. The wet pants fell from her legs as he moved them from the tub and pinned her back against the bathroom wall. She cried out her release as his length withdrew fully from her body. He growled as he spit the leather out and shifted his hold on her. Jos gasped as her body was being forced farther up the height of the wall and her legs were being brought up to his shoulders she quickly released the belt and tangled her hands into his hair, instead. Her eyes shot to the mirror, watching in equal parts surprise and arousal as he devoured her already quaking center like a ravenous beast.
Her legs tightened around his neck; her thighs trembled against his ears. Arei couldn't help the satisfied smile that curved his lips as he slid her back down the wall and carried her to their bedroom. "I hope you're not already spent, my love… the night is still young and I'm just getting started…"
