Chapter 12 #2
“Henry, I understand what you think about love and your freedom and, because I love you, I don’t expect you to change, that way of being and living is what makes you happy and I want you to be happy.
The problem I face is that I see life differently than you do.
It hurts me to lose you, but it would hurt me more to lose myself, to lose my principles, and that’s why… ”
He quickly moved closer to me and placed a finger on my lips.
“Don’t speak for me, Dalina. I haven’t yet said what I want.
” He removed his finger from my mouth and looked at me seriously.
“I may be confused about what I feel, but I’m clear about what I want and I know I don’t want to be separated from you and I definitely don’t want you to be with anyone else.
I feel like you’re mine and I don’t want anyone looking at you, much less touching you.
When I saw you in that wedding dress and thought you were going to marry someone else, my world collapsed.
I want you by my side, I want you in my bed. ”
He slowly lowered his face to mine and pressed his lips softly against mine. When our lips made contact, we both let out a sigh of relief, as if that connection was essential for living.
He moved back slightly to look into my eyes and took my face in his hands.
“I’m not sure what I feel for you, Dalina. But I’m asking you to give me a chance and allow me to find out.”
“It would be my greatest wish for us to work out, but you realize that with you I’m risking a lot, I’m risking my heart. I only ask that you be honest with me and not play with my feelings.”
“Nothing is further from my intentions than hurting you,” he affirmed, moving closer to my lips.
At that moment, I was the one who placed my fingers on his lips to prevent him from kissing me.
“I’ll trust you, Henry, even though I think I’m being reckless and you’ve made it clear that you don’t know what you feel, I’ll trust you because I also don’t want to be apart from you nor do I want you to be with others,” I stated, removing my fingers from his lips.
“Can I kiss you now?” he asked, his passionate gaze not leaving my lips.
“What are you waiting for?” I responded, with all the longing I felt for him.
He needed nothing more, our lips collided with desperation, moving with frenzy.
His tongue caressed my lips asking permission to explore my mouth and I let him in.
His taste was intoxicating, it was the taste of my dream come true.
The kiss began passionately, gradually becoming a delicate and sweet kiss, until he pulled away and looked into my eyes, enraptured.
“You can’t imagine how much I’ve missed you,” he said, and gave me another soft kiss on the lips. “Let’s go to the bedroom.” He stood up, took my hand and led me there.
He immediately took me to the bed and began undressing me while his lips traced over my body. He separated from me for a moment to remove his clothes and returned to my side. He slid his lips along my jawline and down my neck and continued downward. Suddenly he stopped and looked at me.
“Can we do it without anything?” he asked, with a smile that showed how much he desired me.
“Yes,” I responded, between gasps.
“God, Dalina...” he whispered. “I want you so much... you’re so beautiful, I’ve never desired a woman the way I desire you,” he murmured, as he slid his hand along my thigh in a slow and sensual caress.
He leaned down and devoted himself to my breasts with his mouth, making me writhe with pleasure.
We were both breathing with difficulty and the need for each other was now urgent.
Henry continued moving downward with his mouth until he positioned himself between my legs and stayed there, savoring me ferociously.
“You’re so sweet...”
I inhaled and let out a moan at that exquisite torture.
I felt when that sensation of pleasure began to increase until driving me to madness.
And the orgasm reached me making me convulse and rock against him to release myself, screaming his name.
Henry immediately rose above me, positioned himself between my legs and, without taking his eyes off me, began to sink into me.
I felt how he gasped as he slid in, it was the first time we were skin to skin and the sensation was incredible.
“This is fucking paradise,” he growled.
He sank all the way in until our hips made contact. The rhythm increased with strong and rapid thrusts and, again I began to feel that I was being dragged to that point of no return.
“Come for me, darling, I don’t think I can hold on much longer,” he whispered, with his eyes squeezed shut and between gasps of pleasure.
And the orgasm shook my entire body making me scream again and contracting against his erection, launching him as he exploded inside me, completely losing control.
Henry shouted my name and collapsed onto my body.
I embraced him with arms and legs trying to allow both of us to recover our sanity and normalize our breathing and the racing beats of our hearts.
“That was wonderful,” I whispered in his ear.
“It was sublime,” he affirmed, without lifting his head.
When we were able to control our bodies, Henry lifted his head and looked at me. I took the opportunity to caress his face and give him small, soft kisses on his cheeks, nose, eyes, and lips.
“Dalina...” he sighed with pleasure.
“Yes?” I asked, without stopping those tiny kisses.
“Say it to me,” he requested, looking at me seriously.
“What?” I asked, having no idea what he was referring to while I continued caressing his face.
“What you feel for me. I want to hear you say it.”
His request surprised me, but I took his face in my hands and looked into his eyes, willing to please him.
“I love you.”
Henry didn’t say anything, he just lowered his lips to mine and kissed me with a feeling like never before. Then he kissed the tip of my nose and moved, withdrawing from inside me and positioning himself at my side. He embraced me and pulled me toward him.
“I’m going to stay and sleep,” he announced.
“Do you have to get up early tomorrow?”
“No; I don’t have anything planned, but we could plan an outing together or stay here and spend the whole day under these sheets, there’s nothing I want more,” he said, with a look of pure desire.
“We need to sleep, champion. I’m exhausted, it must be around four in the morning or later.”
“I’m tired too. Good night, darling.”
“Good night.”
He pressed me closer against his body and I rested my head on his chest knowing that tonight I would be able to rest. I had him by my side, I was embraced by the man I loved.
He hadn’t told me he felt the same way about me and, to tell the truth, I had my doubts about whether he was in love with me or could come to be, but I felt confident enough to try, to try to make Henry Woollardy fall in love with me. I was eager to be his love.
I woke up feeling the tickle of Henry’s beard on my belly. He was between my legs, kissing my stomach and following an imaginary path downward.
“Time to wake up, sleepyhead,” he said, but then continued with his kisses.
I took him by the arms and gathered my courage to do what I wanted.
I pulled him so that his mouth would come close to mine and I kissed him passionately.
Then I made him turn so that his back was against the mattress, and this time I was the one who began to kiss his torso and continued kissing him until I reached his erection.
When I kissed it, Henry inhaled sharply and tangled his fingers in my hair.
“God! You drive me crazy, I’m going to die of pleasure!”
“Guide me, I’ve never done this before and I want to do it right to give you pleasure.”
He explained what I had to do and I began my pleasurable task while Henry rose from the mattress without control. When he was already at a point where he seemed to be fainting with pleasure, he took me by the arms and made me rise.
“You’re an excellent student and I’m already at my limit, sit on top of me,” he asked, between gasps.
With his help, I sat astride him, allowing him to invade me completely.
I placed my hands on his chest and began to move up and down, caressing him with that sensual movement, until Henry took me by the hips and began to set the rhythm.
A rhythm that ended up being uncontrolled.
He rose from the mattress in a frantic way, gasping hoarsely.
“Ohhhh, darling. Daliii...” he shouted, with a husky voice, while exploding inside me.
He thrust a few more times and I threw my head back when the orgasm ravaged my entire body. Henry sat up and hugged me tightly while our bodies convulsed.
We remained seated and clinging to each other for long minutes, during which he deposited soft kisses on my shoulder. I caressed his hair and hugged him tightly. When our breathing became steady, I moved away a little to look into his eyes, but continued caressing his soft hair.
“I think it’s raining,” I said, because I could hear the typical noise that rain makes when hitting the balcony.
“It’s pouring,” he said, “when I got up to go to the bathroom I looked out the window. It’s an ideal day for what I proposed yesterday, staying between these sheets.”
“And taking a nap,” I said, smiling.
“I wasn’t exactly thinking about that, but we can also sleep for a while to recover energy.”
“And eat, because I’m famished. I’m going to prepare breakfast, but first I’m going to take a shower,” I said, getting up very carefully. I looked for my robe and put it on.
“Let’s shower together,” he said, and followed me.
While we were having breakfast and, seeing that the day had no intention of improving, it occurred to me to suggest an outing.
I wanted to start sharing everything with him, not just behind-closed-doors activities.
If he had proposed a relationship to me, then I intended to live it with all that it implied and take it beyond the physical relationship.
