I need you

[Lovely]

November 9, 2008
later the same night as: I like that


Venge had had enough. He knew intimately more about the girl Iain had set his eyes .. and his everything else.. on now and their lack of decency challenged his own with their cries and whispers in the adjacent room. Pulling out his final defenses and stroking himself to calm the suggestions running through his head and his nostrils only served to rile him up again and want something real and soft and brunette of his own to comfort this brand of ache. He couldn't relax himself to sleep and couldn't concentrate enough to do anything else. Grabbing his small satchel with a change of jeans and shirt, he crawled out his own window and fluttered off into the night with the bag.

He stopped first at Rave's, thinking of course that was where he left her, yet he wasn't at all shocked to hear she'd left. He spent some of his restlessness on pestering Raven to ensure she was well and would manage without him for a day or two. Despite her assurances, he never believed her. He'd check back in a few days and hopefully would be much better himself by then. Left... and gone where? Home alone? The thought of Aless being back in her flat alone turned his blood cold but not enough to ease the strain that had him out of his clothes and clad in feathers, letting the air and polluted moonlight enrobe him as he flew and watched the streets below. He hugged close to the tops of the buildings, staying out of the lights of the policers at the sector gates, meandering in a lazy but persistent zig-zag until reaching her building, landing in half-human form on feet with hands enough to grab the railing of the fire escape and lean to peer into her window. The room was dark even to his avian night vision and he rapped lightly on the glass.

Despite her fears in returning to her apartment alone, Aless had felt she'd imposed on Rave and the other girls for long enough, she'd helped to heal their injuries better and put a little extra food in the house but didn't feel she should continue to stay there. She'd made the trek 'home' while it was still somewhat light out, it made her feel safer but she was still on edge, jumping at noises in the hall or from other apartments. Aless had kept herself busy with cleaning the apartment from top to bottom and then cooking a small dinner which she'd felt terribly lonely eating all by herself. Before having the company of the girls and Venge, she hadn't realized how alone and isolated she'd made herself. She missed the giggles and jokes and the place seemed too quiet and the world outside too loud.

By the time Venge arrived at her window, she'd taken a shower and was about to try going to bed, she had only shut the light off perhaps ten minutes before the tapping began. A dim small lamp that sat on the bedside table clicked on as she sat up slowly, not sure at first where the sound was coming from. Her hand slid under her pillow and she pulled out a large kitchen knife, holding it in one hand as the other pushed the covers down off her bare legs. She first looked toward the door to her bedroom, listening and realizing that wasn't where the sound had come from. The tapping was on glass.. her gaze swept to the window and she shifted off the bed, slowly approaching the window.

He was about to lean and peer again, but as the light poured out from inside, he waved his part-wing, part-arm past the glass instead, the oily sheen reflecting the moonlight from his feathers. The warm glow from her little lamp barely reached his features as he slowly peeked, hopeful that he had the correct apartment at the least, or that if not, the occupant had no gun.

The lamp was dim and small and barely lit the area around her bed, but in a way that was better as it helped her to see what was outside the window without that odd glare one got from being in a bright room and trying to see out a window into the dark. "Venge?" He was the only one she knew.. well Rave but she didn't expect the girl would show up here, but Venge did know where she lived. Aless set the knife down on a shelf of the low bookcase that was to the right of the window and then reached to unlock the latch and push the pane up. She was in her pajamas which were slight as Venge had found out upon a visit to the girl's apartment. She wore a slip of a tank top and tiny pair of shorts, the cool breeze from the window made her shiver a little.

[Lovely]

"You always let strange birds in your room?" He chuckled as he lofted himself to the ledge, chasing after a kiss as he crawled in. "You have no idea how much I want to see you right now. My roommate's a bastard and a half... lucky ass."

"Only the cute ones." She teased back, glad it was him and not some other.. strange bird. He didn't have to chase far for the kiss once she realized he was angling for one, she happily gave it to him. "I feel that there is some sort of story to go with that remark or is it straight to the very happy to see me part?"

"Shhhh," he said, almost laughing at first putting his finger up to his lip then reaching out to hers with another deep, longing kiss. The story would wait, but this would not. The satchel he'd clung to fell to the floor and his feathers receded leaving him at the very happy to see her part, clearly answering that part of her question.

The kiss made her toes curl and her whole body sort of squirm with delight, well it was clear that he was quite happy to see her. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders and she stepped closer to him.. more evidence of his 'happy' was presented and she chuckled into more kisses. She gently swayed but did not let go of him as she leaned to push the window back down and lock it.

"Leave it," he muttered, looking into her eyes and over her face as if he'd not seen her in months. He played with her hair at her cheek, brushing it away followed by a soft kiss to where it had been as his embrace with the other arm held him pressed suggestively, curiously and demandingly against her. "Stories later. I need you."

Her arm drifted back slowly and wrapped gently around him, she stared at him for a moment, watching how he gazed at her. It made her feel sort of restless and like he adored her, sweet and exciting at once. At the words he spoke last, she took in a deep breath, her eyes widening slightly. Did he.. yeah he meant that.. she didn't know what to say other than to nod her head a little. They hadn't yet taken that step though the thought had crossed her mind many times, staying with his sister hadn't given them much opprotunity to be alone or to explore what she'd felt had been growing between them. It appeared he'd felt it too, Aless smiled softly and nodded again, her hand lifted to rest against his jaw as she leaned to kiss him.

Her eyes went wide and he wasn't sure what to think until she nodded, scared, uncertain herself about his intentions but she seemed to understand him. Her hand on his face was so gentle and her naturally healing spark fed his energy, his heart racing still from his rapid flight and racing faster with her agreement. He smiled against her kiss and shuffled back with her to find the switch on her small lamp to leave them in darkness for their discoveries.

Once they were close to the bed and away from the 'fresh air' of the window his feral sense of smell might pick up the hint of her musk from the activities she'd been partaking in to try to relax herself into sleep. The scent was on her, in her sheets, and the fingers of the hand that was behind his back. It wasn't strong enough for a normal nose to pick up as she'd only been engaged in it for a few minutes before he'd arrived. He turned out the light and the combination of how he'd excited her and how she'd been playing made her feel bolder than usual. Her top was swept away with hardly a blink and she came up against him with a demanding kiss, her bare chest brushing his as her hands moved over him, exploring the skin she'd fantasized about.

Careful not to scratch her, he slipped his fingers beneath the band of her barely-there shorts and left her kiss to attend to the bareness between her lips and the band he slowly tugged downward, chasing the scent she'd painted across herself before he'd arrived. Once the cloth was to her ankles he looked up to her, kissing her knee and watching in the darkness the expression he could see, though she might not be so blessed to see the delight in his eyes. He caressed her leg and hinted with a nudge and a prod of his chin and more kisses for her to rest her knee over his shoulder.

His lips sent shivers through her as he worked his way lower, taking her shorts with him. If only she'd acted quicker on her idea, she would be the one looking up at him, her teeth caught her lower lip as she smiled down at him. "You're far too good to me.." She whispered as she moved her leg as he wanted her to, gently resting it over his shoulder, just knowing what he intended to do was arousing her more, the anticipation of it nearly making her quiver.

"As good as you are to me," he retorted playfully, licking over her thigh and breathing in deeply the gorgeous essence of -his- girl.

His tongue tickled delightfully over her thigh and she sighed out a sweet "Ooohhhh." Her head tipping back a little, her eyes closing to the pure delight that was so much better than her fantasy and self indulgence.

Venge chuckled a little as she responded to his attention.

His chuckle vibrated gently and she groaned in pouting protest of his amusement. "Don't lau.." She started but the words were stolen and replaced with soft gasps and little 'aahhs'..

Though she'd asked him, almost, not to laugh, he chuckled with the delight of her. Venge slipped his shoulder from beneath her, keeping her balanced and upright as he slowly stood again and slipped his embrace up around her sides. She was completely bare against him now and that alone was comforting and welcomed. "I still want to be good to you, but over there," he said, meaning the bed behind her.

Her breaths came heavily, brushing her chest against his with each inhale and exhale, it was unintentional but very tantalizing. She tangled around him, reaching to pull the taste of her from his mouth and tongue with tender languishing kisses as she slowly moved them the short distance to the bed. "What if I want to be good to you?" She asked him, a playful and promising smile on her face as she tried to dance him around so she could push him back on the bed.

She sought after him just as eagerly, answering completely his question or worry whether he was pushing her too quickly into something. She twisted around him and he followed, chasing more of that sultry kiss until he found his legs against the bed and nowhere to go but backward, tumbling with laughter as he 'fell', scrambling to bring her down above him. "When she was good, she was very, very.."

"Shhhh.." She giggled as she came down over him like a blanket of warmth and softness, her mouth seeking his again. "Stories later... you need me now." She reminded him with the soft kiss that darted away to make a path down to show him how very, very she was feeling at the moment.

[Lovely]

Exactly what he needed and yearned for, he thought, at least for the moment he could manage to think before she pulled every thought so sweetly from his mind. Venge clawed after handfuls of the bedding beneath himself to start with. The bedding lacked the warmth and softness his hands wished to hold however and he reached for her shoulders or any part of her he could reach.

She was delighted with his reaction to her boldness and her teasing. In all of her experience which was not much, she'd never felt this way, never wanted the way she did now. Her desire and excitement was fed by his and she could hardly believe she was doing what she was and so eagerly! She had the ability to share the feelings and sensations but had never done so, she'd never trusted anyone enough to open up to them that much. Venge was different, what she felt toward him and when she was with him.. this was too amazing not to share it. Her hands caressed and gripped, slowly she let the sensations flow and ebb between them, starting off with just a little taste for him to find out how he would react to it.

A delighted gasping chuckle slowly worked out of him. He felt the ripples of that adoration riding over his own senses that soaked up every subtle breath and sweet scent rising and falling around them. It was from another source, a mirror of his own bliss or her own. The ripple shuddered through his nerves and he chuckled out from the delightful shock. Another like that and he was going to... He grasped her shoulders tenderly and nearly begged her stop and nearly demanded she continue. "Aless... not yet. Damn... f*cking damn, but please... not yet."

Somewhat reluctantly she let him stop her and slowly peel her away from the attention she enjoyed giving nearly as much as he enjoyed recieving it. Her smile was delighted and shy at once as she crawled up beside him, her eyes lit with sparks and a faint glow that made them look unearthly beautiful. "You liked that." She whispered like it was the most wonderful thing to her and perhaps it was, finding that she could trust him and be so open with him and share such pleasure. It was something she'd never known before, even just on the physical side of things, nevermind adding in their gifts and emotions. She leaned to kiss him, wondering where he might lead her next and feeling excited at the possibilities.

Venge drew her down to his own kiss. "I liked it," he agreed, wanting to touch and feel and soak up more of that rippling bliss that fed the instinctual beast inside him. His palm stroked down her back, grasping at her thigh to bring herself to curl precariously and comfortably against him. "I like feeling you." How could he explain better than letting her feel his delight?

Aless let him guide her to his kiss and with his hand on her thigh, his touch made her feel nearly giddy with delight. Her mouth hovered against his a moment as she simply let the sensation flow from her to him, it would express much better than any words how she felt about him.. how he made her feel in this moment. She wanted so much to fully explore all the possibilities, to experience each moment and sensation to it's fullest with him. "I like feeling you, too." She whispered back, her words brushed over his mouth between tender kisses.

Trust and longing were a powerful combination to endure. His blissful ripple was in her kiss and carried everywhere they connected - lips, fingertips, hip and back. He paused his kiss, looking at her again as he had before - adoring, slightly fearful, clearly in need of being comforted not solely by her touch but by reassurances that what he was feeling was real and not a parlour game for giggles and notches on a lipstick case, as he remembered some old song.

Seeing the fear in his eyes made her nervous yet reassured her along with what she could feel at every place that touched him, he wasn't there to simply take care of a physical need. What they shared was more than that, she wanted to be sure he knew it as well, her hand cupped his cheek and she gave him a soft smile. Her hips gently shifted in an unspoken invitation, he would see the sincerity in her eyes along with a bit of her own fears, similar to his. "I need to tell you something.. mmm.. two things before we.." She glanced down, biting her lip a little before bringing her gaze back to meet his. "I love you." She whispered in a sweet and tender voice, afraid it would be too much or too soon or he might simply not feel that toward her.

[Lovely]

Venge felt a flutter in his chest as the words floated out in her voice, so real and unimagined. The words nearly came from him, just as real, but they seemed like an insincere echo and so pale compared to the heat in his mind and heart and every sense and sensation. He caught her to turn her gently to her back as he smiled. "And what's second?" He was curious about so many things, nipping softly at her lips, intending to show her and let her feel for herself, ripple for ripple, touch for touch, quiet blissful tear and soft tender consolation between them how sincerely he felt that love in return.

Part of her was hesitant to tell him the second and still a tiny bit fearful of his reaction her words of love. Those fears were mostly eased with what she could feel of him where his skin touched hers, such warmth, such passion and deep emotion. Aless nipped back at his lips, taking a moment to build her courage and assure herself he wouldn't judge her. "You're.. the first." She whispered softly, letting him know more of how deeply her trust of him ran and that he was not some notch on a lipstick case or anything remotely shallow.

"Give me your hand," he whispered, still nipping after her kisses. He paused with the consideration of her innocence, offering her assurance. "I want to be your first and your always, Aless." His admission was quieter than his heart that raced on and the eagerness that was going to overwhelm him any moment.

Her head tipped to the side as she wondered what exactly he was doing, but his words touched her enough to nearly bring tears to her eyes. She gazed up at him, a soft smile lighting her face as she moved her hand to place it in his. "My always." She echoed his whisper, the thought filled her with such happiness there was no way to describe it. His eagerness fed hers and her heart raced like his, though with his particular gift, his was likely beating at a faster rate. Her legs gently shifted along his, extending their contact and the incredible connection she felt with him.

He slipped his hand with hers down to curl her fingers tenderly around him, letting her feel the simple physical reactions she gave him, the heat and pulse so very strong. Understanding that she somehow knew his emotions and the singing in his nerves from everywhere she touched him, he wanted her to have this gift of knowledge as well. "It's true how much I need you tonight, but I want you to tell me when you're ready." He let go of her fingers to leave them to play as she wished or guide him as she wished and he smoothed his hand over her leg that caressed him.

She bit at her lip, finding it hard to seperate what she felt from what he was feeling as they became more connected and shared more with each touch. Her eyes slipped closed in a gasp of pleasure. She shifted slightly restlessly with the need, the desire to go further and soothe the ache that was nearly too much for her to bear. She let her hand fall away from him a moment after his moved and she turned her head to the side, feeling unsure because of his seeming hesitation. Perhaps it was because she was too close and so entangled with him that she suddenly felt over emotional and a bit swallowed. "If I hadn't told you.. would you have.." Her fingers played with the blanket lightly as she searched in the swirl of desire and need to find the right words to express her concern. ".. hesitated..? Would you have said .. or done the same?"

He rested his head down to her shoulder. "Because you're important to me, I would have if I ever thought you were scared. I don't want you to feel conquered, I want to love you, I do love you and I could go now and wait ... painfully, but I would.. until you were sure." He chuckled a little and kissed her neck.

"I was sure.. until you questioned it and.. made me wonder if you weren't.." She found herself chuckling a little, curling into the tickle of his laugh against her neck, she wrapped her arms around him and gently played with the hair at the back of his neck. "Of course I'm scared, I've never loved.. or felt like this or shared like this with anyone before.. part of me is afraid that I'm dreaming again.. part of me is afraid this will be gone tomorrow.. that part wont go away until it's tomorrow and you're still with me.. I've been fantasizing about you since we met.. can't you feel how much I want you?" She asked him softly, this time it was her who guided his hand, placing it against her chest where her heart beat could be felt.

"It nearly is morning," he grinned, nearly sighing thinking of how long Iain and the bar girl had been entertaining each other before he'd even left. "Maybe it isn't, but I will still be here then, until you tell me to go. I might still be here," he said, pulling away and starting his kisses down her neck. He chuckled again in kisses he started downward out of her embrace again. "Because I insist on being good to you now... and always."

"What if I don't tell you to go? I don't think I'll ever want you to go.." She murmured softly, her voice a half sigh and full of happiness. She could almost pout at how he moved himself out of her embrace but couldn't with his kisses trailing down her skin. "Though.. if this is how you insist.." She chuckled at the thought of telling him to go so he would do this again to convince her to let him stay.
