Book 1, Genesis: Chapter 7: You still game?
#8 of The Chronicles of James Travant
"You still game... or... what?" Her words lingered in the air.
Travis half-smiled as he took her hands in his own. "My turn to do the leading."
He slowly stepped back the few paces to the couch, staring into her eyes the entire time as he sat down and drew her down to him into another soft kiss.
Tanya smiled in his sweet, almost innocent kiss as she shifted her knees toward the back of the couch on either side of his legs, essentially straddling him while he pulled her down to him slowly.
Her fingers curled and held his hands softly but firmly, her only hesitant movement at this sudden new development. She'd been hurt so much... she was slowly becoming aware of what she was doing and slowly pulled away, her eyes showing exactly how she felt.
She was scared to get close, and she was sure that he saw the hesitation as her rejection... to which wasn't completely true, more like she wanted to, but she needed reassurance that things wouldn't end up with her life turned upside down once more.
She glanced into his eyes, then shifted and her hips lowered so she sat lightly on his lap, awfully close to him, she longed for his touch.
Travis' smile was gentle, as was the expression in his eyes and he wrapped his arms around her lower back.
"If I was going to hurt you, I wouldn't have waited this long to do it." He said quietly.
She was about to ask how he knew but before she could answer, he silenced the rising question with a soft and gentle peck on the lips to the end that it made her fretting fade away and her body succumb to the inevitable.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled their bodies close, so close that her perked nipples pressed up against his chest through the nightgown and the sudden contact made her shudder slightly as she settled into him.
She was his now... and to that fact she was at peace.
Funny how things fall into place... was her last rational thought.
Travis sighed happily as she pulled herself to him and their lips met again, he wrapped his arms around her and gently cradled her, making no further advances than to softly kiss her, while occasional moving to kiss or nuzzle her neck and Tanya was in a way grateful for the slow intimacy, setting the moment to remember the sensuality of it as a whole. She smiled and let her fingertips trace along his collarbone as her eyes completely fell to his and she sighed with a subtle fondness.
She kissed him softly on the lips before her lips followed an invisible trail along his jaw and down to his neck where she gave a playful nip, not wanting to go further than he was comfortable, but also letting him know that she was alright with the situation.. in fact completely willing.
Her hands fell downwards from his collarbone to lightly glide them down his sides to rest on his hips, her thumbs in his belt loops. She hummed and looked down for a brief moment before returning her eyes back to his with a devilish smirk upon her lips.
Travis smiled back, mischief sparkling in his eyes, overlapped by the emotion for her he had held back for quite some time.
"You've got that smile." He said, placing a fingertip on her lips. "I was always in for trouble when you smiled at me like that."
Tanya parted her lips and sucked on his finger, talking around it. "So... maybe you are..." She licked the finger inside her mouth and gave a gentle suck with a chuckle and her eyes went soft and an emotion that couldn't be mistaken for something else shone in them.
She let the finger slide slowly from between her lips and shifted her weight as she gave him a light kiss on the lips and pulled away daringly.
Travis wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back tight to him.
"And just where are you going?" He whispered, kissing her softly again, and this time not breaking away.
She groaned in his kiss, wanting more out of it than simplicity. Her tongue prodded past his lips and brushed up against his own tongue with her eyes fluttering closed. Her body language was clear, her chest leaning into his and her hips resting against his as she sat in his lap. He had only to break off and say 'no' if he didn't want this, it was pretty much clear that her mind was made up already.
Travis hummed quietly as she took the initiative and deepened their kiss, it wasn't but a few moments time that he tightened his grip on her and shifted his body, laying down on the couch which suddenly seemed to have more than enough room to hold them, he tensed once as his injured shoulder shifted the wrong way, and then the pain was swept from his mind as her hair cascaded over him, his hands releasing their tight hold and gliding gently over her back, fingertips tracing small circles wherever they went.
Tanya sounded as if she let out a purr of excitement as they laid down her eyes half closed and looking at him as her hair fell around him and their kiss briefly parted.
"I've waited for this..." She lightly smirked before leaning down into a demanding kiss that seared her passion and brought it to a new level, she would wait until he was truly ready, but her hand rested on his bare and uninjured side as her other hand snaked up his shirt.
Travis' smile broke into a grin as he shifted into her touch.
"Aye." He whispered. "And I've waited for you."
Tanya groaned as his words undid her and her fingers went to the bottom hem of his shirt and began to slowly and gently raise it, her lips following the rising edge, occasionally licking his skin in short laps.
She eased his shirt off, noticing a slight tinge of pain as she did so and to that she frowned and stopped hovering with one forearm on either side of his head, holding herself up. "I don't want to hurt you..." she whispered with a hint of fear.
Travis laughed and wrapped his good arm around her shoulders.
"I've waited this long to have you, I think I can bear a little pain more than I can bear waiting longer."
That being said, he again drew her body down to his, closing her into a deep and passionate kiss, his hand released her shoulders and began to trail down her, coming to a rest right in the small of her back.
Tanya smiled and tilted her chin up and put her demands forth, her want, her need. She lightly grazed her fingertips down his sides, turned her hands to his belt and stripped it from him with one quick, smooth, and dominant pull.
She worked her fingers and got his pants open. For a moment she faltered... her mind racing with the thought that she was going too fast, that it should be sensual, loving and that would also result in hurting him less. She let their lips part as she sat up on him, straddling him and lifting her nightgown up and off in a slower more slick movement, her body swaying to the tune of their breathing. She looked down at him while she tossed her nightgown to the side, revealing her in nothing underneath.
Travis' eyes had followed the lower hem of her nightgown up until it cleared her eyes, and there he locked gazes with her as she tossed it away.
His hands came up from their place on her hips and slowly slid over her body, tracing the faintest of touches over the curve of her breasts before he drew her down to him.
He opened his mouth to speak, but found that no words could be formed, after a moment, he smiled instead, giving a happy sigh as his leaned down to kiss her neck.
"Mm... Travis..." Her chest heaved at his kisses to her neck, her body grinding into him with care. She gave a breathless sigh to the lovely shivers that were sent down her spine as his lips pressed against a particularly sensitive spot.
She arched her lower body up and into him her eyes twinkling with a loving passion and desire, but she would wait until he was willing to take it to the next step.
Travis shifted to the other side of her neck as his hands slipped lower, from her back, across her rear and down her inner thighs, fingertips just lightly trailing along her skin as he gently kissed up the other side of her neck, he reached just behind her ear and, rather than kissing, gave the flesh a gentle nip before kissing the same spot.
Tanya straightened up in her pose immediately, her sharp inhale of breath and the closing of her eyes spelling out her arousal to him.
She raised her hips away from him for a moment, her hands trying their grip at pushing his pants down, her breaths a labored panting. She looked into his soft eyes as her began to feel wet and glossy.
He shifted his hips and helped her as best he could, kicking the jeans off as soon as they reached his ankles, as usual, he too wore no undergarments, thanks to his upbringing.
His hands again trailed cross her inner thighs, then around to the outside of her legs, his left crossing to her stomach and brushing past the skin just above her sex.
His efforts rewarded him with a throaty groan, her back arching back and her head falling back with it, a look of pure pleasure written across her face, eyes closed and her lips slightly parted with her panting breath.
His hand received a press of enjoyment from where it laid on her stomach and her thighs flexed as a hot pulse found its way between her legs, the hollow ache almost too much to bear.
Travis himself was panting too somewhat, his hand again shifted, grazing the flesh just over her sex before gliding down again, two fingers passing over her folds with the faintest of touches.
"I want you, Tanya." He whispered softly.
She looked down to him, her smile seduced and playful, "I gather that, Travis. If you want me, then, by all means, take me... You'll get no objections from me..."
She shifted her hips and accidentally brushed his fingers again against her warmed flesh.
Travis leaned up and kissed her deeply, tongue snaking past her lips to caress hers as his hand fell again over her sex, one finger slipping beneath her folds to circle her entrance slowly.
A stifled moan passed between their lips as his ministrations began to get her wet and terribly excited. She could feel the pulsing deep between her legs that left her feeling hollow, her muscles tensed with the sudden sensations his fingers brought her.
She lovingly brushed her tongue over his a few times, stroking and caressing it while ever so often curling around it. Her hips lightly rolled into his light strokes and circles, her breathing unsteady in their kiss. It wasn't hard for him to feel and hear how wanting she had become.
Travis sucked in a sharp breath, smiling as the kiss broke. "You know, you could've told me..." He whispered softly, another finger joined the first at teasing her entrance slowly, his other hand lay tightly over her lower back.
"What... and ruin the surprise and hunt? No... you are a smart man, you know just how to please a woman... but if that's not what you..." She paused a moment to suck in a breath, hold it for a few seconds and exhaled shakily before being able to form words again.
"..Want, then go for what you really want, I love anything you do to me... I just want you, anyway I can get you..." She shivered and lowered her chest to his, her lips finding their path along his jaw and her hands slid out from holding her up as her gentle weight pressed onto him and her arms stretched out on either side of his head.
Travis looked into her eyes, locking her gaze as his hand slipped from her and his free hand pulled her hips down to mesh against his, grinding together slow but hard.
"With your permission." He replied quietly.
She leaned her lips close to his ears so that her breath tickled it softly, "You've had it for the longest while. I was just too scared to be open about it in the first place."
She pressed her hips down to his, grinding him lightly and groaned quietly into his ear. "Please..?"
He turned his head finally and kissed her softly. "I shall."
He leaned his head down and closed his teeth over her neck, just behind her ear, as his arms lifted her up and slowly drew her down onto him, as she came halfway down, he shifted his position a bit to be more comfortable, then drew her all the way to the hilt in one gentle push.
Tanya softly cried out, muffled with a moan as she bit her bottom lip and enjoyed the new sensation that was brought with his bite and his full length within her.
She waited a few moments at his hilt before lifting her hips even though his grip on her hips never shifted, she gave the sign she was ready and the point of pain had passed into pleasure. She ran her fingers through his hair softly and hummed into his ear, "I think I've fallen, Travis..."
Travis finally released her neck and laughed softly, keeping his tight hold as he shifted and drew out of her just as slowly as he had taken her.
"It's okay." He replied as he lowered her back onto him. "I think I've caught you."
She sighed with a mark of relief and gratitude as she settled onto him and brought her hips back up steering his slow and gentle pace. She looked back up into his eyes and smiled with all the affection in the world.
She continued to run her fingers through the hair on the back of his head as her other hand rested on his shoulder, "I'm glad, otherwise I'd go mad..." She softly whispered in half a chuckle. Her warm breath tickling the tiny hairs on his neck as she leaned in to kiss up and down his neck, collarbone and jaw line.
Travis sighed in contentment, rubbing down her back with his good hand as she matched his pace.
He opened his mouth to say something else, but as she hit a particularly sensitive part of his neck his words turned into a murr of excitement, and he shut up, forgetting everything but the touch of her skin.
She heaved a sigh and her insides tightened around him as she arched her back up and tilted her head back. Her hair flowed back around her shoulders and she looked like an angel with the soft light cascading over the top half of her in golden rays, making her hair shimmer.
As her head tilted back with a soft purring sound of a groan, she bit her bottom lip to stop herself from crying out as he hit a few of her internal nerves that sent a shocking sensation through her insides.
Travis struggled to keep his breathing calm, but didn't quite succeed in stopping himself from panting as he looked up into her eyes.
After a moment, he smiled, lifting his good arm to run his fingers through her hair. "Simply beautiful."
She hummed as his fingers found their way through her hair; a soft sigh shuddered from her. "Simply... perfect..." She traced her fingertips along the uninjured side of his collarbone and gazed into his eyes, a thin watery layer forming from the clear solid eyes she had before.
She leaned down and kissed him as her thrusts down on him became slightly harder, but not too much of a change in the pace. She smiled, breathless, speechless... simply taken in by this man underneath her.
Travis moaned quietly, his eyes finally breaking form hers as they closed. He pulled her down into a warm embrace and continued to match her pace, both at speed and intensity.
As soon as her body meshed with his, he began hissing all up and down her neck, replacing the occasional kiss with a gentle nip here and there.
Tanya softly let out a lingering cry, hushed and gentle, but it was obvious that the pleasure was growing between them both besides the slow pace they had set.
"Oh... Travis... I dreamed..." She let her weight a little down upon him, her breath starting to become unstable from its soft, slow and easy pace. She shivered with his kiss that landed on her artery vein, a slight hiss of a moan escaping through her exhaled breath.
"shhh." Travis said, placing a fingertip on her lips.
"Just make your dreams come true. Right now."
She nipped his finger and growled, "But I can't... yet, that... would hurt you." She smirked, and nipped his bottom lip playfully and tightened her muscles around his length diving in and out of her.
"If you're worried about my injuries..." He began, lifting both good and injured arm to wrap around her tight.
"...don't."
Tanya smiled softly, but then it was gone... lost in her lustful look. She leaned her head to the side and bit his neck, her pace starting to become more subtly quick, rougher but only slightly and her grip on his member inside her grew slightly tighter.
She growled and licked the outer rim of his ear, as her nails bit into his arms, although not hard enough to actually cause more damage than imprints. She dragged them down his arms and her jaws released their hold on his neck as she sat up out of his hold and supported her hands on his thighs as she began to ride him, her body flexing and her stomach exposed to its toned and smooth perfection. Throaty groans filled the air, her breasts following her motions on him, her face soft and gentle like a sleeping angel, yet with the subtle look of a devil in immense pleasure.
Travis finally relaxed, settling into the couch and letting his hands slide from her back to rest on her hips as she rode him.
His eyes opened for a moment, locking with hers again as he smiled, then again the pleasure coursing through him forced them shut.
Finally have her, and god help me I don't want to let her go.
Tanya's eyes had closed just as Travis' had; the pleasure sending shocks tingling through her, and the hollow ache between her legs finally was banished, replaced with fullness and the stroking fire inside her.
She moaned out his name, her fingernails bit into his thighs only a little but the force was enough to tell she was getting close, her insides throbbed, tightened around him more and there was a dull tingling all through her hips. This position was going to make her end come quick and powerful, the point of entry making it easy to reach her g-spot.
Travis moaned quietly, grip on her hips tightening as his eyes came open to watch her.
She was driving him to the edge just as fast, although he was a bit more determined to hold back and extend the moment of pleasure for both of them.
His mind cleared as another shiver ran through his body, he shifted his grip from her hips and let his hands fall over hers.
Tanya's eyes opened a slit to merely look down upon him as his hands covered hers. She slowed her pace some, but her pleasurable arch backwards didn't change much for her to look down upon him through her breasts.
"Hmm?" She slowed her pace significantly, taking his hands as a sign to slow down, she figured she may be hurting him, that worrisome thought tore at her heart and for a split second the pleasure in her face faltered some.
Travis smiled at her and slipped his hands under hers, interlacing their fingers and holding her gently.
"You're fine." He whispered, sensing her discontent as he shifted his hips to meet her as she came down onto him.
She smiled, letting out a small breath and her fingers curled tighter in his as she looked down at him.
She could have sworn he was made for her... so perfect. She began a quicker pace than before she had slowed down and if possible more gratifying for both individuals comes as one. "Uh..." She took a sharp inhale, "Travis..." She could finish her wording, she was getting close and she hoped that she wouldn't give in, but if she did she wasn't going to stop until he did, no matter how sensitive she became.
"Shhh." Travis replied, his breath heaving as he shifted his hips in time with her. "No need for words."
His grip tightened on her, giving it away how close he was getting.
She closed her eyes to his gentle voice and her breasts gave her high arousal and imminent peak because her nipples were perked and hard. She stroked the side of his hand with her thumb although it was a shaky movement it held a loving notion to it.
She straightened her back and continued to ride him, as her orgasm came hard and powerful, her cry ringing out like an angel's choir. Her head rolled back and her breaths were ragged, yet she didn't stop riding him... she were determined to give him utmost pleasure. And her insides throbbing, heated and tight with her overflow of passion stroking every inch of his member rushing in and out of her.
Travis gasped, struggling against the tide rising in his body, already he could feel the tingling sensation in his hands and legs that gave away his own building climax, his deep breathing turned into quiet moans, finally transforming into a low growl as his hands tightened on hers and pulled her down onto him, just as her body connected with his and she came fully onto him his last shred of control dropped and his own climax crashed into him, his body rigid as he pulsed within her.
Tanya lowered her upper body closely pressed against him and panted heated breaths into his ear, kissing just behind it. She found herself moaning at the mere movement of him inside her, the throbbing pleasure showing clearly, but she was just as sensitive as he now. She felt him inside her, and was grateful that he didn't pull out right away; it made the difference between love making, and just satisfying an urge.
Travis closed his arms around her and sighed, murring quietly at her kiss on his neck.
He lay there for a stretch, just holding her close and feeling her inside and out, before he finally turned his head and kissed her gently on the lips.
"Thanks." He whispered.
She blinked in confusion for a moment, and then dared to ask the question, "For what?" Her voice was in whispers, but softened and with content lacing it.
She smiled, tightening her legs and arms around him in an embrace and in a gesture of affection.
He sighed and smiled, kissing her gently. "Just for being there for me, it means more than I can care to admit sometimes."
He brushed a hand through her hair, tucking one lock behind her ear.
Tanya smiled and traced her fingers along his side, "I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens. And that is my promise to you."
She kissed his cheek, then his jawbone softly and slowly moving to kiss his neck. "You have no idea... how you coming into my life has made me so blessed."
Travis laughed quietly. "No, I haven't an idea; I don't see how I could be a blessing, a foolish EU rookie who would take on a bladewielder with no armor and a field knife as his only weapon if just to protect the woman he's fallen for."
He leaned up and kissed her softly on the lips, brushing his fingers through her hair.
"Aye, it was stupid, foolish and something that will get you in trouble later... but for now... that makes you my hero, and with the way you've captured me... I don't think that you could get into any trouble with me..."
She returned the kiss, gentle, smooth and love coursing through her body into his. "You... aren't in pain... are you?" She looked at her weight on him and no matter how comfortable she was on top of him... she didn't want to hurt him, her ear was to his chest, listening to his heartbeat, slow and steady like a lullaby. She was extremely calmed, holding him close to her, "You still hesitant about taking a shower... at my place?" The corner of her lips curled up in a devilish smile...
