Part 37
“Alec?!” I exclaim. What the fuck?!
He scowls at me, crossing his arms over his chest. “What are you doing up?” he asks me, trying very hard to sound strict. “You should be resting.”
I just stare at him. What? Huh?
Now he’s shaking his head. “Don’t even try it, Liz. You are going straight back to bed. There’s nothing you can do right now anyway. Everyone’s settled in and for today, that’s all we have to worry about.”
I’m still staring at him, and I’m pretty sure my mouth is hanging open. Finally I find my voice again. “Where are we?”
Alec gives me a strange look before answering me. “Terminal City of course.”
I let that sink in for a moment. “So we’re safe? All of us?”
“Yeah…Liz, you’re acting kind of weird, is everything-”
But that’s as far as he gets. It only takes me a second to cross the room and fly into his arms. My mouth crashes into his, so hungry, so eager. He’s response is instantaneous, just as hungry, just as eager, maybe even more so.
My body reacts immediately – I’m trembling, my knees go weak, my heart begins to race and somewhere deep inside me heat erupts, spreading through my body, slow like honey and hot like fire.
Oh God. I missed him so much. The softness of his mouth, the way his teeth scrape over my lips. His hot breath on my cheek, his hands in my hair.
Our lips are still fused together as Alec grabs me and lifts me up. He slams the door shut before pushing me up against it. He’s too urgent to be gentle, too eager to take his time and I couldn’t care less. Something is rushing through my veins and it takes me a second to realize what it is. Life.
For so long now I’ve been numb and cold and unfeeling. I couldn’t let myself feel, couldn’t get past the hurt and the fear and the taintedness of my soul.
But now…all that is just gone. I’d forgotten how wonderful life feels when it’s pulsating through your body. How wonderful it feels to really live and feel and breathe.
I haven’t been capable of that for longer than I care to remember but I’m doing it now, hungrily gulping in breaths of air and Alec’s intoxicating smell. His hands are on my skin making me shiver, his mouth on my neck makes me gasp. Hunger and need and passion are scorching through my body, so overwhelmingly intense that I half expect to burst into flames any second.
I attack his mouth again, needing to taste him, needing to devour him. I fumble with his pants, unbutton them, wrench down the zipper. Then he’s in my hands, hot and smooth and hard, like silk-covered steel, pulsating with life just like I am. It’s not long before he’s shivering and panting and clawing at my pants. Then they’re gone and he’s inside me.
Again, there’s no time for being gentle. Gentle belongs somewhere else.
This is all about passion, about living and feeling and celebrating the mere fact that we’re alive and therefore capable of doing all those things. Heat and hunger and urgency take over, overwhelming us, sweeping us away from reality. Our moans mingle with the scent of sex that’s hanging in the air. It’s intoxicating.
And, oh God. He feels so good, so right. He makes me feel complete again for the first time in so long. Everything just falls into place when we’re together. It’s like he’s restoring the balance in my soul a bit more with every kiss and every stroke.
And, oh God, does it feel good. He feels good. Alec inside me has to be the most exquisite feeling in the world.
A part of me is convinced that I might just die from the pleasure of it all, it’s so overwhelming. I’ve never felt pure white-hot lust build up so quickly, never felt so consumed by anything in my whole life. Alec is everywhere, inside me, around me, within me. He’s taken over my body and mind in every possible way.
When the explosion comes I almost pass out from its intensity. A scream is wrenched from my mouth, mixing with Alec’s low guttural moans. Molten heat surges through my groin, crashing into my senses, taking over my brain. Electricity pulsates through my body, passion washes through it in waves, each bigger than the last. It literally takes my breath away.
It takes minutes before the feeling starts to fade, even longer until it dims down to a low hum.
When it does we sink to the ground, a tangled heap of sweaty limbs, both trembling from the aftermath of our love-making and the earth-shattering climax it ended with, both too spent to move or think or talk. Finally Alec lifts his head off my shoulder where it’s been resting for the last few minutes or so.
“What the fuck was that?” he asks slowly, almost dazed.
“I have no idea,” I tell him, my voice hardly more than a raspy whisper. And I don’t, not really. I know that sex is different for aliens – or changed humans – but this…this is above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced before. And things were already pretty damn intense whenever I got down and dirty with Alec before.
“I guess it has something to do with, you know…my not-so-earthly status.”
“But you’ve always been, well...different. And the sex has always been…different.” He draws the last word out, smirking at me, making me smile, making me feel a bit proud, a bit special. “But this…I mean, woah. What changed?”
I’m still smiling. “Not sure,” I say, even though deep down, I know exactly what changed.
I’m breathing again.
I opened up.
-------
Alec was right of course, I needed rest. It took a while till we were both capable of moving again...okay, so even then I wasn’t really capable of it. Alec had to carry me to the bed.
Not that I’m complaining. Neither was he.
You know, he wouldn’t admit it to save his life, but sometimes I really get the impression that he actually enjoys the whole chivalry thing. In any case, I can’t get enough of feeling his body close to mine, even in the non-sexual way, so I wouldn’t mind Alec carrying me around on a daily basis.
And while it’s normally the guy’s job to turn around and fall asleep two minutes after getting off, I was out before my head hit the pillow. When I slowly float back into wakefulness again I’m lying on my side, Alec curled into my back. I shift and Alec presses a kiss against my bare shoulder. That’s when I notice that I’m naked. And so is Alec.
The feeling of his warm, smooth skin pressed against mine is enough to make my whole body tingle again. Talk about being insatiable…
I shift again, rubbing myself against Alec’s body. He’s pressed against my naked skin in the most intimate way possible and I can’t help but smirk when I feel his reaction to my teasing pressed against my butt.
His hot breath is suddenly on my neck, his lips follow and later on his tongue and teeth take over.
His hand glides upwards over my hip, then my stomach before reaching its final destination. He cups my breast and I gasp as my body reacts to his touch.
That’s all it takes, a gentle touch, the brush of a thumb over an already hardened nipple and I’m wet and begging for more. Oh please don’t stop this.
I turn around and our legs entangle automatically, our lips meet in the softest of kisses and I’m swept away in a haze of gentle lust and simmering passion. Everything is too slow and too soft, but perfect all the same. We take the time we didn’t have earlier to explore and caress, lingering on favorite spots, taking advantage of how well we’ve come to know each others bodies.
There’s hot breath on the other’s ear as whispered words of passion slip from lips that are hot and eager. Wet mouths leave behind trails of goose bumps while fervent hands cause shivering and writhing under caresses that are almost too much to bear.
And then our bodies join and this time, the explosion is instantaneous. Not as overwhelmingly intense as before, but there’s a warmth to it that tugs at my heart, making a tear slip from my eye.
I’ve never really gotten teary-eyed during sex before, except for that one time, but the events from earlier are starting to catch up with me.
We could have lost everything back there, could have lost each other forever. I’m never going to take this for granted again, never going to casually push it away. It’s worth so much more than that.
Alec kisses away the lone tear, kisses my parted lips and soon I’m swept away in a cloud of soft, gentle love-making that seems to go on forever, lifting me up to new heights again and again and again. Finally we’re spent and soon enough we drift off to sleep again, limbs still entangled, bodies exhausted and while I can’t speak for Alec, I am certainly happier than I’ve felt in a long time.
-------
When I wake up alone the next morning I’m hardly even irritated. Alec doesn’t need half as much sleep as I do in a normal night, and considering how exhausted I was the day before, and how often the cycle of sleeping and making love was repeated last night, I’m kind of surprised myself that I’m already awake, not to mention that I feel perfectly rested.
Besides, Alec has duties around here. Only God knows what’s going on in Seattle after the hostage situation yesterday, and with new transgenics pouring into TC on a daily basis, things can only be chaotic.
I stretch languidly, my thoughts drifting back to the events of last night. I smile, groan as my body begins to hum again. Alec was right, I really am a rabbit. I need to get this under control. Being a slave to your hormones is pathetic.
But then I think of Alec, of his clever hands and eager tongue and I come to the conclusion that being pathetic is well worth the unbridled passion and incomparable pleasure Alec bestows on my body. After all, who needs strength and pride when they can have mind-blowing orgasms on an hourly basis?
Speaking of which, I’m starting to get irritated about Alec’s lack of presence in this bed after all. Last night, the love-making was slow and gentle and unhurried except for the first time up against the door, mostly due to the complete exhaustion on my part. But now I’m rested and full of energy and feel like doing some incredibly wicked things to Alec’s body. So where is he, damn it?
I growl as the heat in my groin intensifies. I can’t help it, my thoughts just refuse to stay away from the events of last night. I’ve known that Alec has skilled hands and an even more skilled tongue for quite some time, but it never ceases to amaze me how long Alec can draw pleasure out, letting it build up to a point that’s almost unbearable before allowing it to be released in an earth-shattering explosion.
Okay, bad brain. Stop thinking about that.
I glance up at the ceiling. God, if you’re up there, could you maybe send Alec a memo that his girlfriend is in desperate need of a good-morning fuck? You know, if it’s not too much trouble?
I almost jump out of my skin when the door opens two seconds later. It’s Alec. I send a suspicious glance up at the ceiling before turning my attention towards my boyfriend.
All of a sudden it doesn’t feel weird to say that at all, at least not in my head. Out loud…yeah, we’ll try that another day. No need to spoil today with working up past relationship induced traumas.
He sits down on the side of the bed pressing a kiss to my forehead before dropping a box into my lap. “Only breakfast-worth food I could find,” he tells me.
I glance down. Doughnuts. Oh, yum. And they’re the sugar-frosted kind. I just love those. I rip open the box and sink my teeth into the soft pastry, moaning in delight. They’re fresh too. Oh, this is heaven alright. I glance at Alec, smirk a bit. The doughnuts may be great, but the dessert looks even better.
Then I halt in mid-movement.
Wait. He found these somewhere? Fresh doughnuts, my favorite kind, lying around in Terminal City, which just happens to be filled with half-starved transgenics, each and every one of them equipped with the appetite of a teenage boy? Uh-huh. And pigs are ice-skating in hell.
I continue to eat, sending a smile in Alec’s direction. Someone here just earned himself a very big thank-you which will be expressed in the dirtiest, most physical form my pure, untainted little brain can come up with.
Two minutes later those hopes are shattered. There’s a knock on the door followed by Ava coming into the room. “Scram Alec, Liz and I need to talk.”
