Chapter 43: Chapter 43

XLIII

The silence around us is engulfing us in the oblivion as we sit in the car, in front of my house.

I had a great night with him, but it's time to say goodbye. Tonight, a lot of things were revealed to me and I didn't know what to think of them.

Axel will need his answer, and I'm not sure what it will be. I can barely see his beautiful tattoed hand move to catch mine in the dark. He intertwines our fingers, fingertips brusing against the soft skin. I look up his arm and his torso, tattoos sligtly visible under the button-up. His chest looks fit and slightly tanned, like he'd spent many hours under the sun in the summer.

Finally, my gaze reaches up his neck, seeing his tattoed adam's apple move when he gulps. I observe his lips and smile when I remember how they feel on my skin and lips.

And then, my eyes capture his, the green almost blinding me. He truly is a gorgeous being.

He could be all mine. His hand squeezes mine and goosebumps raise on my arms.

"Thank you for tonight." his deep voice reaches my ears.

"I should be the one thanking you." I tell him.

He shakes his head, his curls dancing. None of us say anything because there are too many things hovering over us to know what to say. I sigh and look away from his eyes. I remove my hand from his and move to open the car door.

He stops me, his hand grabbing my arm to gain my attention.

"Are we going to be okay?" his deep voice has slight panic in it.

What am I supposed to answer him?

I gulp, and whisper:"I don't know."

His grip gets a bit tighter and he looks like he's trying hard to compose himself. He closes his eyes and lets out a breath.

"I'm just..." he begins, his voice sounds a bit pained. "Just please say yes." I put my hand on his cheek and he opens his eyes. His eyes hold emotion that words can barely describe. He looks pained, and I bet that I do, too. I open my mouth to say something, but he stops me by pressing his soft lips on mine.

I dig my hands in his hair and pull, making him groan and put his hands on my waist, lifting me up on his lap. I straddle him as our tongues dance, moving my hips in satisfaction his mouth is bringing me. When I can't breathe anymore, I remove my lips from his and lean my forehead on his. We both breathe heavily, holding on to each other.

"I love you." he whispers, and gulps. Slowly, I move my hands to the back of his neck, feeling the muscles underneath his skin. I brink my hands to the sides of his face.

He opens his eyes, a single tear falling out of his left eye. "I feel like I'm gonna lose you. I can't fucking lose you." he whispers and I can feel his hands trembling.

"I have to think-"

"Don't fucking say that." his voice trembling, he shuts his eyes, his hands shaking as he holds me. "I'll do anything, Sophie. I'll stop doing that shitty job somehow, I'll stop smoking, I'll do anything, I swear."

Another tear falls on his cheek, but this time it isn't his. It's mine.

"I love you." I whisper to him, wiping my tear off his cheek. "I have to go."

Before he can do or say anything, I move off his lap and exit the car through his door, jogging to my house. I walk inside and close the door shut behind me.

"You're two minutes late." dad sneers and comes from the living room to see me, his hands on his hips. "Sorry." I say, mockingly, and roll my eyes, taking off my shoes with my feet.

"Don't you dare talk back to me, Sophia." dad says, lifting his finger to scold me. "You told me you weren't speaking to that boy." he says as I move past him, his voice getting louder.

"I'm not in the mood for this, dad."

"I am! I told you to stay away from him!"

"And I didn't, okay?! Just so you know, I'm not sorry about that!" I shout back and jog upstairs to my room.

"That's it! You're grounded!" he shouts and I shut the door of my room, and lock the door.

Angrily, I practically rip my dress and my bra off of me and throw on Axel's shirt. I grab Tess from the shelf and climb in my bed, burying myself under the covers. I don't even know when I fell asleep, but late at night, I am awoken by some shuffling in my room.

Alarmed, I bolt up and look around, only to see Axel climbing in.

He stops, like a deer cought in headlights.

"What are you doing?" I hiss.

He climbs in and comes to my bed.

"Can I sleep here? Just sleep. I'm really fucking tired and it's not the same without you." he pleads and I sigh.

"Okay."

He sighs in relief and takes off his pants and his shirt, and climbs under the covers. I smuggle up to him, placing my arms around his toned chest. His legs capture mine and he looks down at me, and tucks my hair behind my ear.

His lips part. "I'm sorry I woke you up."

"It's okay." I say. "What's the time?"

"One in the morning. I couldn't sleep so I came here."

"Why couldn't you sleep?"

"I don't know. I was worried about you."

I chuckle. "There's nothing that could happen to me, Axel. I'm home and my parents are too."

"Well, still. I need to fix your window."

"But then you won't be able to come inside."

"You'll open the window for me."

"Oh yeah? And what if I won't?" I tease and he smiles.

"Then I'll find some other way. I don't think there's anything that could keep me away from you."

I chuckle. "Okay then, Mr. Superman."

At that, he turns us so that he's on top of me.

"Mr. Superman, huh?"

I giggle and nod. He smirks and shakes his head. "I'll show you Mr. Superman." With that he captures my hands and closes the distance between us, softly nibbing on my bottom lip.

He sucks on it, first gently and then harshly until I open my mouth and he covers my entire mouth with his. He slowly slides his tongue in, possesing my mouth while his hands move down my body to my bum and he squeezes it with his strong, big hands. Our tongues gently dance together and our limbs explore our bodies. I wrap my legs around his and slowly rub my crotch against his.

He groans and moves his lips down to my neck, licking and sucking the spot he knows always makes me weak. He slowly rubs his crotch against mine as well and I begin to softly whine underneath him, moving my crotch with more force.

Axel groans and gently bites my neck, not enough to draw blood but enough for me to feel it.

I gasp at the feeling of his teeth and I feel him smile against my neck. He moves down, south on my body and tugs on my shirt, slowly bringing the hem up so that he could take it off.

He removes his mouth from my body, and in his eyes I can see a hot, blazing fire.

He lifts his shirt up and takes it off of me, revealing my upper body. Immediately, I move my hands to cover myself, but Axel pushes me back on the bed and as always, pries my hands away from my chest and without and warming, his mouth is on my breast.

He sucks on my right nipple with much force while his other hand works on my other nipple. The feeling is blissful. I begin to softly groan and moan under him as he works his magic and begins to nibble on my nipple, his hand pinching my other nipple. I close my eyes in pleasure and he groans, like a lion. His mouth and hands leave my breasts, and I feel his breath going down, souther. I look down to see him just above my belly button. Our gazes connect and I gulp. His fingers tuck into my panties where my hipbone is.

"May I take these off, Miss?" his deep voice fills the room.

I bite my lip.

"You may."

He grins and I close my eyes, feeling his fingers moving my panties down my legs.

"Open your eyes, Sophie."

I shake my head, embarrased. His weight isn't on the bed anymore so I'm assuming he's standing. Each of his hands grab my ankles and he pulls my body down my bed, till I reach the edge with my bum. He slowly spreads my legs apart and I can feel his gaze on me, right there.

"Open your eyes, Sophie." he growls. "I want you to watch me." I gulp and slowly open my eyes, my mouth watering with the view.

Axel is standing in front of me, tall muscular body, filled with tattooes. His hair is tousled, work of my hands. His hands are holding my legs spread for him, his eyes looking me, there.

In his boxers, there is a giant bulge and I blush like crazy. He licks his lips. "You have such pretty pussy. I can see from here how wet you are."

His eyes move to mine."I'm going to lick you dry, baby."
