30. Bella
THIRTY
Bella
I wake in the middle of the night, my heart pounding in my chest. The room is dark, the only light coming from the city lights outside filtering through the curtains.
A sense of foreboding washes over me, and I can’t shake the feeling that something bad is about to happen. I glance over to Alex, but his side of the bed is empty. Panic sets in for a moment until I see him standing by the window, his silhouette framed by the dim light.
“Alex?” I call out softly.
He turns, his eyes meeting mine. “It’s okay, Bella. There’s nothing there. Just checking.”
I nod, trying to calm my racing heart. “I couldn’t sleep. I have this awful feeling...”
He comes back to the bed, sitting down beside me. His presence is comforting, and I reach out, taking his hand in mine. “It’s just your mind playing tricks on you,” he says gently. “You’ve been through a lot. It’s natural to feel on edge.”
I sigh, leaning into him. “I know, but it’s hard to switch off.”
He looks thoughtful for a moment, then a playful smile tugs at his lips. “I bet I can get you to sleep.”
Curiosity piqued, I raise an eyebrow. “Oh really? And how do you plan to do that?”
He leans down and captures my mouth in a hungry kiss, his tongue dancing with mine as his hands roam over my skin. I moan into the kiss, my body already on fire with desire.
He breaks away from the kiss and gazes down at me, his eyes filled with heat. "I want to make you feel so good," he says huskily, his voice dripping with desire.
I nod, my breath coming in shallow gasps. He reaches over to the bedside table and pulls out the bag, retrieving the vibrator from within. My cheeks flush with a mix of embarrassment and anticipation, but the lust in Alex's eyes is unmistakable.
He turns on the vibrator, the low hum filling the room. He runs it gently over my breasts, teasing my nipples into hard peaks.
I gasp at the sensation, my body arching off the bed. He continues to use the it on my breasts, his other hand slipping between my thighs to find my already wet center.
He rubs circles around my clit, the vibrations sending waves of pleasure coursing through me. I cry out, my hips bucking as he increases the pressure.
He slides a finger inside me, his thumb still working my clit. I can feel the tension building, my muscles tightening as I get closer and closer to the edge.
"You like that?" he whispers in my ear, his breath hot on my skin.
"Yes," I moan, my voice barely audible. "Don't stop."
He chuckles, his fingers working me faster and harder. "Trust me, I have no intention of stopping," he says, his voice low and seductive.
He moves the toy to my clit, stroking it slowly around in circles as I cry out underneath him.
I feel myself teetering on the edge, the pleasure building to an almost unbearable intensity. "Alex," I gasp, my body trembling. "I'm gonna come."
"Come for me," he whispers, his fingers working me relentlessly.
I let out a scream as I come, my body convulsing with pleasure. He continues to work me through my orgasm, prolonging the pleasure until I'm left a panting, quivering mess.
He pulls me into his arms, his lips finding mine in a slow, passionate kiss. "That was so hot, Bella," he says, his voice filled with adoration.
I smile, feeling completely sated and satisfied. He kisses my forehead, pulling me into his arms. “Should help you sleep.”
Exhausted but content, I snuggle into his embrace, feeling safe and loved. The fear and anxiety that had plagued me earlier are gone, replaced by a deep sense of peace. As I drift off to sleep, I know that no matter what comes our way, we’ll face it together.
With Alex holding me, I finally feel like everything will be okay. I close my eyes, letting sleep claim me, a smile on my lips and my heart full of love. But as I slip under, I notice his eyes, wide awake, staring into the distance.
