Chapter 12: Cut
"Kore-...Kordelia, I-..." Alekai lost the explanation he had formed; as quick as it came, it was gone. The silence was deafening. His hands gently went to trace up her arms, causing her to flinch as she jerked away.
"I shouldn't be here. My apologies, Commander." She seethed between clenched teeth and a tearing eye, venom in every word. Turning as if burned, she reached for the door handle, instantly sober from her third rejection in just as many weeks.
Will it always come to this?
His answer came in a soft kiss at the nape of her neck, leaving her frozen in shock, hand still placed on a quick escape. Both of Alekai's arms enveloped Kore as he buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply. Whirling around, she spun in the circle of his unrelenting embrace. Cerulean met molten silver with confusion; droplets of beaded tears trailing down one side of her rosy cheeks, her face giving away her feelings so easily.
"Alekai?"
His fingertips tangled in her ruby hair at the base of her neck, his eyes conveying sincerity. "Stay with me." He repeated her own words from what seemed like too long ago.
Kore snaked her arms upwards, sinking them in the white tresses of his hair, guiding his head down to hers, for the second time initiating a kiss. Alekai could feel the tangibility of her need caress his mind, and so he let her do as she pleased, dipping his head as she perched on tip toe. Her lips connected with their target, shocked at the gentleness she met instead of the roughness she had longed for. Her soul sang, the hard rock in her chest shattering into a million pieces. Alekai growled into her lips, deepening the kiss, and pulled her tighter to his chest. Her body melted into him, humming its approval. He split her lips with his tongue, dipping inwards to gently probe.
Kore sucked at his tongue, the animal instinct kicking in as the kiss became harder and more demanding. So absorbed in the kiss, she almost didn't notice when he changed the angle of their bodies and maneuvered her with her back against his door. His hands freely roamed her body, rubbing up her sides, hooking at her waist to tug against the straps of her snowy dress.
The kiss broke for Alekai to slide the thin liquid material off in one quick fluid motion, dropping it on the floor, forgotten. Her stark white strapless brassiere stood out against her tan skin, and Kore slowly unsnapped the hook in the front, holding Alekai's smoldering gaze, until he caught the sleight of hand. His eyes pierced her fingers, the swells of her breasts pushing at the parted fabric until its straps fell off her sides and peeled down to pool at her feet.
A flush covered her body, arms instantly going to cover herself as she realized finally, she was naked. The subtle haze of alcohol broke with her sheepishness. Even if it were only partially. She was nude. In front of Alekai. The Commander.
Oh, Mother, kill me now.
She coiled.
A feral snarl left the back of Alekai's throat as she tried to cover herself with modesty. He had let his instincts give in and he wasn't about to let it end. Plucking her arms away from his view, he gripped her waist roughly; yanking Kore upwards to straddle his hips, crushing his chest to hers, slamming her back against the unforgiving cedar. His lips found their prey in a savage kiss that took everything and gave nothing in return. Her breathing began to come in pants, Alekai refusing to let her come up for air.
He grasped her wrists in a vise-like grip, pinning them above her head, grinding his hips forward, eliciting a mew from her captured lips. He absorbed the sound, letting it fuel the uncontrollable desire to make this woman his. His free hand roughly roamed her stomach. Her hips jolted forward in response, mirroring his movements, searching for the friction that ignited a slow burn in the space below her naval. Kore grumbled at the rugged handling, digging her nails against his hand at her wrists. Alekai smoothed his free hand against her soft skin, fingers trailing a scorching line down past the band of her transparent lace panties, and sinking into the wet depth between her legs. She jerked frantically as he explored her folds, finding the bundle of nerves he had been searching for with expertise. He swallowed her moan, circling her clit slowly, drawing out the pitiful sounds like a dying man's last breath.
The burning in Kordelia's core began to set ablaze, the feeling of his fingers bringing forth such intense beastly reactions. The flames consumed her, body arching into his chest as the feeling began to expand. Alekai quickened his attention to her sex, the building of her climax at his fingertips. The firestorm of her body burst in an instant, shattering her mind as she broke the kiss forcefully, crying out in ecstasy. Her body glowing with climax, he continued his assault, drawing the pleasure out longer as Kore shivered against his frame.
Finally coming down from bliss, Alekai grasped her weight, lowering Kore's arms to encircle his neck as he gently carried her to his bed, showering her neck and face with feather-like kisses. Slowly, he laid her among his sheets and pillows pushing her down to lie like a virgin sacrifice, ready to take the pleasure only he could offer. After this night, he would dare another man to try to touch her. He would kill them where they stood. Her body sprawled against his onyx sheets, her focus heavy-lidded in desire, scarlet curls standing out in such contrast, was a vision he would keep for himself, and himself only.
He lowered himself over her, trailing kisses down her neck, tracing her neckline and collarbone. Drawing lower, he tongued the soft skin of her breasts, applying pressure in the most sensitive areas the incited the greatest reactions. Kore's back arched in a bow, strung by Alekai's masterful touch. She began to pant, struggling to hold onto any coherent thought. He mouthed her nipple, flicking the distended nub that seemed to have a direct connection to the place between her thighs. She scissored them together in a desperate attempt to feel any kind of friction. She felt Alekai smile around her nipple. He slid his hands down her sides, finding the sash of her panties, releasing its hold, and sliding the fabric down her thighs and off her in one swift flick, and doing them away as if they were nothing at all. He left her silver high heels and her knife in place.
Kore gasped as the cool air met heated flesh of her bared folds. Alekai maneuvered his legs between hers until her legs were spread wide apart, open to his pleasure. Little whimpers of distress escaped her lips, and her hands flew to his head trying to push him away. For some reason, having even parts of her slim dress cover her had somehow convinced her she was in control. Now, without even the barest covering she felt too vulnerable. Looking down, she realized he was stark naked, his nakedness hidden between her legs. Quickly, she shot a glance at his door, a stray sheet pooled there along with her dressings. He was already naked...
Alekai clamped his teeth around her nipple, making soothing sounds until she marginally settled down. He laid his body more firmly over her, protecting her from the chill and providing a cover that lulled her into a temporary sense of safety.
"Do you want to continue?" Alekai mumbled around her nipple, ever the gentleman.
Kore shook her head, then nodded. She didn't know if she was saying whether she didn't know or if that she wanted to know what he wanted. But he seemed to understand her conflicting answer.
"I will stop if you ask...," he said as he pulled away and rose up to his knees, "just tell me what you want, Kore..." Alekai gripped her thighs and pulled her towards him until the apex of her thighs fit snugly to the growing bulge between them. The lower part of her body was shadowed, and she was thankful for at least that much. He shrugged his long hair off his shoulders then one hand slowly traced the line of her thigh, the other rubbing a spot at the crease where her thighs met her hips. The dimness gave her enough courage to solicit a small nod.
"I need to hear you say it," Alekai bunched his hands and lifted her hips, then placed a small bundle of his sheets underneath. This new position tilted her hips in an irresistible offer. She would have squirmed away but he held her firmly. "I want to hear you say it."
"Please," Kore whispered, "Alekai, please take me..." As if he needed no other permission, Alekai lowered his head and licked around her navel. He moved down to her hairless mound, nibbling on the skin. His teeth opened against her sensitive and swollen lips before gently clamping down. Kore's legs jerked involuntary but Alekai's hands held down each of her knees, keeping her legs spread.
"Alekai," she keened, grounding her head against the sheets and bit the back of her hand to stifle another moan. His tongue probed beneath her hood, seeking out that small pearl. He rested his tongue against it, feeling it pulse. He sucked it in his mouth and this time Kore did scream. He chuckled around her clit, but still kept his mouth clamped on it. He mouthed the sensitive flesh, licking up the slick creaminess that poured from her.
Kore thought she was going to go out of her mind when Alekai stiffened his tongue and devoured her opening. He poked inside her and she could all but help clamping her thighs around his head. All of her senses were focused entirely on his mouth and tongue, the smooth sensation of the sheets abrading her back, the chilled air caressing over her sweat sheered skin, the swell building in her core; it was all multiplied tenfold until she thought her whole body was one-bit pulsating nerve-ending. Just one more touch and she'd shatter into a million pieces.
"Alekai, please, please, I need, oh Mother, please!" She didn't know what she was pleading for. Alekai's lips curved against her slick skin and Kore just knew he was smiling. He sucked at her clit, flicking it with the tip of his tongue faster and faster. Her thighs tensed, and she half sat up as her orgasm crashed through her body. It started as a small tingle at her apex but spread like a wildfire through her body until she was burning from the inside out. Even the tips of her fingers tingled. Alekai bit down hard on her clit, sending her down another turbulent orgasm, the pain just adding to her pleasure.
When she recovered, Alekai's face was hovering above hers. He kissed her, sharing it with her, the unfamiliar taste. Wrapping her arms around his neck like a vise, she sucked at his tongue and lapped up the remnants of her release from his mouth. Kore concentrated all her being into that kiss, banishing all her previous doubts and worries to the back of her mind.
Swiftly, Alekai removed the wedge from beneath her, kissing slowly upwards from her thighs to her stomach, Kore determining there had to be a direct connection of nerves from her belly button to those fluttering butterflies that signaled her undoing. It was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, to think, to even feel anything beyond what Alekai granted her. His surprisingly rough lips moved up her stomach, mapping every line of claimed territory on her body.
"I'm at your command, my love," Alekai promised softly as he kissed her neck, settling between her thighs. Curling her legs around his waist, Kore shifted onto one elbow and stared at him. Strong, defined muscles bunched and moved under his hot skin. With tentative fingers, she trailed her fingers down his sharp collarbone. Her eyes devoured him as her hands curled and clawed down his ridged abs. He sucked in a harsh breath; his nostrils flared.
She looked into his molten eyes where only a small glint of white was visible, the rest of his face thrown in shadows as she moved her hand down to the pulsing member between her legs. Her hands fumbled slightly at the newness of it all, grasping him gently and applying faint pressure, causing a hiss of approval to escape his lips. Still keeping eye contact, Kore closed her hand around his thick length. A flutter of fear jumped inside her. It was so big, so thick. It would be impossible to fit that inside of her. Looking down, she tentatively moved her hand up and down the angry looking shaft. The head leaking copious amounts of whitish fluid. He groaned above her and she quickly removed her fingers, fearing she'd done something wrong.
"I..." She started.
Alekai quieted her and dropped himself over her body.
"I'm nervous." Kore brought up his hand over her beating heart. Her whole body was trembling and sweating. Alekai guided her other hand to his own chest, sealing her hand over his beating heart.
"Breathe for me," he whispered. He took her lips in a kiss, their tongues sliding in a wet dance. It was sloppy and messy and fast. She moaned into him, placing her tongue into his mouth.
This was it; she was losing her virginity. Kore broke the kiss, gulping in a lungful of air. She felt his blunt head nudge at her opening, the tip of his head splitting open her lips. Panting, she waited for him to thrust. Alekai began slow, moving his hips in small forward thrusts, getting her used to his thickness. Her wetness enveloped him and the excess coated her thighs. The head of his cock slipped inside her, moving to rest on her maidenhead.
The pressure increased inside of her uncomfortably. A slight burning sensation radiated outward from her core and she struggled to not cry out. She bit down hard on her bottom lip until she tasted the metallic tang of her own blood, squeezing her eye shut. With a sudden thrust, Alekai shoved into her until half of his shaft disappeared into her wet warmth. Kore groaned as he continued to rock inside her until the tip touched at her cervix. It felt like she was being ripped apart. A burning pain ripped across her body as he kissed her cheek, licking away the wayward tears she never knew she'd cried.
"Are you alright, Rose? The worst is over, I promise," he cooed into her hair. His chest vibrated soothingly against her tense body. He continued to murmur sweet nothings until she felt her body relax under his.
Urging his lips closer to her, she pressed a kiss against him. Alekai slowly slid his shaft out of her, rasping against her torn tissues. It still hurt, but not as much as before. He looked down at her, as if asking permission; she nodded for him to continue. He thrust in and out of her in a slow rhythm, letting her get used to his invasion. A small tingle sparked when the head of his member caught a particular bundle of nerves and she arched her hips into his thrust. That new angle brought her clit in contact to his pubic bone and she gasped. Rubbing up against him with his every thrust, she felt every nerve in her body come alive to the waves of pleasure crashing through her.
Stars burst behind her vision. Her hands scrabbled frantically against his shoulders until he grabbed them and held them above her head. She was grateful for that makeshift restraint, needing something to pull against. It gave her something to hold onto, letting her know no matter how far she fell, the hard tug at her wrists would ground her.
Kore screamed when she felt a fiery burn consume her lower half, spreading like brush-fire along her nerves and burning everything in its wake. The pleasure was almost unbearable. A myriad of colors shattered the black canvas of her mind. She continued to fall into her climax, her interior muscles milking Alekai's member. From a distance, she heard his groans as he followed her over the edge and came inside her. A hot liquid splashed against her cervix, filling her up with his release. His heavy weight dropped down to her flushed body, keeping her grounded in reality. Everything was fuzzy; the muted sounds of silence buzzed in her ear, disturbed only by their ragged breathing. Kore blinked open her eye and saw Alekai lying beside her. Her head rested on his outstretched arm, his other placed reassuringly over her stomach. His head was bent over her shoulder, nibbling at her skin.
Kore turned her face into the crook of Alekai's arm, inhaling deeply his musky scent. Her heartbeat was just settling down into a normal rate, the sweat cooling uncomfortably on her skin when Alekai broke the silence as he sighed into her curls on the top of her head, wildly displayed against the sheets, burying himself there.
