Capítulo 12: The Sweetest of Dreams
His lips were soft, moving gently against mine. Nothing like Joth. The water began to cool against my hot skin. My wet hands slid up around his neck and his hands slid around my waist, pulling me into his lap. I shouldn't be doing this... my brain was pleading with my body, but nothing was listening. His hands were on my thighs, leaving hot trails over my skin. He lifted me out of the water and walked us over to our clothes. His lips didn't leave mine until he set me down, but it was only for a moment. It felt like an eternity, but he had pulled a blanket out of his bag and spread it on the sand around us. When he was finished, he took my hand and led me to it. Every step was easy. It felt right, but my mind was screaming over and over to stop. I wish I could listen. But I couldn't. My body was ignoring everything and moving on its own. He pulled me close to him again, my bare chest grazing against his own. My arms slid up his shoulders once more as he laid me down on the blanket under him. His lips found my neck and my chest, and I made little whimpering noises that I had never made before. I knew it was a bad idea but I didn't want him to stop. He worked his way down, pressing kisses into every inch of me. Every touch, every gasp... It all seemed so needy and desperate, like he was a man on fire! And yet before he took what would make the flames cease, he stopped moving all together and searched my eyes for answers. His beautiful irises burned holes into me, and I blushed, my body heating rapidly underneath him.
"Is this ok? Am I rushing you?" His hushed words had an edge of panic to them. Silly boy...
I smiled and kissed his concerned face.
"It's alright... I want this..." I whispered. He sighed and pressed himself into me.
Oh God! It wasn't like any of the other times! This was slow and delicious, filling all of my senses. My fingers raked down his back uncontrollably, surely leaving marks. He responded to my manic clawing with a grow and thrusted harder. I moaned, nearing my peak. My back arched and he grabbed my arms roughly, pinning me down. I built up until I couldn't take it anymore and I released everything I had. It was like fireworks... Magic... I trembled underneath him, clutching him to me as if he could disappear at any moment.
He had joined me in the ecstasy a mere moment after me, and now we lay latched to each other like crazed demons who had just been born.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to get it all over you." He said sheepishly. I caressed his face and kissed him softly. Taking that as an answer, he helped me up and took me back into the water, holding me in his arms while I laid my head on his shoulder.
When he noticed me drifting off to sleep, he dried me off and helped me into some spare clothing and we went back to his tent to sleep. No one had moved from their drunken spots so we snuck in easily. He curled around me the whole night, holding me tightly against his chest, as if I was the one who would disappear. It was comfortable, and I let my guard down.
Everything faded to black.
In the morning I awoke to the sound of chatty soldiers. I was alone in the tent as well. Did I dream it? I wondered. I couldn't have. Right? I was in my own tent though. This wasn't where I was last night. Maybe he just moved me? Awww fuck... I groaned and flopped back on my sleeping bag. A dream? A FUCKING DREAM!? I pushed myself up and stretched before getting ready for today's journey. I don't know how to face him right now... I'll just clear out my tent before breakfast. That should give me a moment to think. But... The way he touched my skin... I shook my head quickly and finished what I was doing, attempting to banish the thoughts of him.
Today's breakfast was peaches from the garden. As I took a peach, I saw William by his tent, packing his bags as well. My face turned bright red as I imagined his muscles dripping from the lake water... Snap out of it!
He turned and caught my eye and waved at me. I looked quickly at the ground, embarrassed as all hell. He snuck up on me, touching my shoulder. His hand was warm, the heat sinking into my muscles. It was completely unexpected! Why is he touching me now? Did it actually happen? Are we at that level now? Or am I just overthinking? I jumped at the touch of his fingers brushing my skin through the cloth of my shirt.
"What? Is there something on my face?" He joked. My cheeks still held the color of a tomato. "Are you sick or somethin? Your face is kinda red." He leaned closer, inspecting me.
"Noooooooooo?" I said unconvincingly. He only laughed and moved back. Should I ask about the lake? Couldn't hurt right? But what if he doesn't know what I'm talking about? Even worse, what if he does! I can't do this. I fretted. I took a deep breath and took the the plunge.
"Soooooooo... uh.. Do you like lakes?" I asked. I immediately regretted my choice of words, furrowing my brow and cursing my stupidity. Do you like lakes? Dumbass! He looked at me quizzically.
"Are you sure you're not sick?" I nodded.
"Ok, um, I'll bite. Yeah I like lakes." A lump formed in my throat, my nerves jumping all over the place. Oh no... Here we go...
"Didn't you say there was one around here last night?" I forced the question out. He chuckled.
"Well I've never been here before. So. No." My face fell.
"Oh. Ok." I looked down at my half eaten peach. Why did I feel so disappointed? "When did I fall asleep last night?" I asked.
"After your beans. You just kinda passed out. At least you don't snore or talk in your sleep." He said. I sighed in relief. I'd never had a wet dream before. It was strange and I wasn't sure how to act around him now that I had. I'll just pretend it didn't happen.
"Yeah good idea! Go me!" I whispered, giving myself a little cheer. I'll just banish the memories to a deep place in my brain.
"Did you say something?" William asked. I looked at my peach harder. I could've sworn I was sweating bullets.
"No!"
After breakfast, everyone gathered their stuff and we began walking again. Today seemed to be much more relaxed than the first day. Perhaps it was because we were getting further from the complex and further from the rule of the director. Even Joth was beginning to let loose, joking around with his squad and acting like a younger guy. It felt strange to me that I was the only one here who knew what he was truly like. These men had been with him on countless missions before I came along. Even after, he still led them. It was just strange that no one had noticed his quirks and behaviors. Then again, they might have and just refused to say anything. I feel like that would be even worse to be honest.
We walked until sunset once again. The entire time, I couldn't meet William's eyes. I just kept remembering the dream. It was so vivid. And it made me blush like crazy. But my silence didn't seem to put a damper on his mood one bit. Everyone was in high spirits as we made camp once more.
After everything was set up, Joth called a meeting around the fire.
"The camp of bandits should be right around the border, but no one has survived to tell us where. I'm guessing it's fairly close to their home base and that all the supplies they've stolen are hidden around their camp. Now the border where the last group went missing is a mile beyond that ridge and that area is around where all the attacks have happened. So proceed cautiously and survey the surroundings." He drew everything in the dirt in front of us, circling where he thought the camp would be and the attacks took place. William nodded and followed along like a true soldier. I was distracted, watching William's face quietly.
"Alright it's a plan then. Proceed at high moon." Joth tapped the dirt and they both stood up. I scrambled to pretend I was paying attention and stood up with them, nodding my head. Joth rolled his eyes and walked away, but William smiled and messed up my hair. We returned to the tent. Now all that was left was to wait.
