Reunion - chapter 4
CHAPTER 4 - 12.01am The door clicked behind them and Rex quietly pulled Melissa through the hallway and into his room. As he passed by the living room he quickly stuck his head in and checked on his Dad. Sleeping like a baby. A small smile quirked his lips as he gently pulled the door closed. The pills should keep him knocked out until tomorrow; he wouldn't even wake up if someone screamed right in his ear. Rex should know; he had accidentally given his Dad this dosage before when his darkling half had still been a problem. Before he had learned to embrace some of the more, animalistic tendencies, of his newly developed personality.
Standing in front of the half blocked window Rex gazed at Melissa. She had grown in the two years he hadn't seen her, her body taking on a lithe and seductive grace that called out to something deep in him.
"Close the door." His voice came out hoarse and guttural. He could see the small shiver that travelled down her spine. At that innocuous movement he felt his muscles stiffen, his jaw tensed. The click seemed loud in the silence. His heightened senses could smell her now. Her scent filled his nostrils; breathing deep he could pick out her uncertainty and excitement. And fear. He smiled, teeth flashing white in the moonlight for a moment and his inner-darkling took over.
OOO
With her back pressed against the smooth door Melissa saw the predatory smirk cross Rex's shadowy face, teeth catching the moonlight for a moment. She felt herself tremble and was suddenly glad that she was leaning against something solid. Rex crossed over to where she stood in two strides, crowding close to her and pressing his body against hers.
He caught her lips in a fierce kiss, she immediately open her mouth allowing him access. His tongue traced the half forgotten pathways and teased her own tongue, deepening the kiss, which she willingly did. Heat travelled through her veins and pooled below her stomach. She gripped his back and pressed against him harder, wanting something more. She couldn't stop the small rasp of disappointment as Rex pulled away from the kiss, his eyes briefly flashing violet.
OOO
Rex could see the half concealed lust in her eyes and it fuelled him further. He gently tugged one of her sleeves off her shoulder and bent his head to the silky dip between the exposed shoulder and neck. Lips ghosted across smooth skin, eliciting another small tremor from her. Her scent now was clean and filled with desire.
With half-lidded eyes he flicked his tongue out to taste her. She tasted sweet, like a forbidden fruit. Lowering his mouth he slowly sucked the same place he had tasted just a moment before. Rex felt rather than heard the small intake of breath. He bit down gently and quickly swirled his tongue over the irritated flesh, soothing it and bit down again. Marking her, making her his.
OOO
Melissa moaned breathlessly as Rex cupped her breast and massaged through her shirt. Unconsciously she pushed against his hand, her breathing becoming slightly ragged as he trailed kisses along her jaw. Wanting something more she sent a silent message to Rex. She felt him smile as he pulled her from their pressed position against the door. Standing, Rex leant back and watched her as a blush darkened her moonlight pale skin. He stepped backwards and pulled Melissa after him, sitting on the edge of the bed when he felt it hit the back of his legs.
Melissa nervously unbuttoned her top and let it drop to the floor; her long skirt followed so she stood in an inky black puddle in only her underwear. Rex reached forward and traced the contours of her ribs before letting his hands drop to her waist. His bone white fingers felt strangely hot against her skin. Shivering, as he pressed a kiss to the sensitive skin just beneath her belly button, she reached down and pulled off his top, Rex helped by lifting his arms before it was discarded onto the floor with the rest of her clothes.
As he sat before her Melissa took in his darkling enhanced body. He was still lean but had toned in the two years. Muscles rippled under his skin as he leant backward staring into her face with half-lidded eyes as she looked him over. Mesmerised she reached out to trace his collarbone, his skin was smooth and cool, she felt his firm grip on her waist as she moved forward and straddled his lap.
OOO
Melissa kissed him feverishly pressing herself against him, skin against skin, her fingers locked behind his skull, head angled to allow a deeper kiss. He kept his hands on her waist as her tongue delved into his mouth, tracing over his canines and sliding sensuously against his own. She was breathing hard and his own heart was pounding in his chest matching hers. He growled into her mouth and without breaking the kiss, twisted until she was pressed under him.
OOO
He felt her moan into his mouth as her traced patterns lightly across her thigh with his fingertips. He could almost taste her need now. Fumbling with the rest of their clothes it seemed an age before they joined their brethren on the floor. A flash of foil later and he was ready. Melissa was hot and tight, surrounding him completely. Rex snarled in satisfaction as Melissa breathlessly gasped underneath him, her fingers tightening on his back. He started to move, slowly at first but picking up the pace when he felt Melissa respond. His inner-darkling responding to every gasp she made.
Melissa's nails dug into his back, scratching out thin lines of blood. The scent pushed him over the edge and he bit down on her shoulder, pinning her to the mattress in an act of dominance. He felt her tighten around him so when Melissa arched into him, crying out, it was only moments later when he shuddered to his own release.
They lay together, locked together in the lingering warmth of their passion and panting heavily. Rex slowly moved off of Melissa, supporting himself limply on his elbows. He licked his lips, tasting the sweet copper that filled his taste buds. He must have broken Melissa's skin when he had bit her. Melissa was staring at him, completely sated; Rex could see her breathing slowing down. He leant forward and captured her bruised lips, gently kissing her and nuzzled her cheek when she made a small sound of contentment in the back of her throat.
Rex let out the breath that he hadn't realised that he had been holding, suddenly exhausted, and rolled off the warm body beneath him. Ignoring the small stings that ran down his back as he moved, he reached down and pulled the covers over them both, settling Melissa snugly against his chest. The soft flutter of her breath against his skin slowed until she was breathing deeply, fast asleep. Rex felt his own eyes closing, heavy with fatigue. Before he succumbed he pressed a chaste kiss to Melissa's forehead.
"I love you." He whispered, before sleep claimed him.
