Allecra had to lock my rolling hips with both hands over my thighs, keeping me open and still. My back arched off the bed accompanied by soft whimpers. My nipples hardened in arousal.
She was licking me from inside out, vibrating my pelvic bones with her own moans which she unleashed right into my womb. I had never thought anyone would be so obsessed with another person's flesh like this. Allecra was actually making out with my girlhood. Her tongue was in me so deeply, she could have tickled my lungs. As she continued feeding herself the juice of my innocence, my mind and body felt like they were melting away.
Swollen, drenched and on white liquid fire, I sensed an indescribable building up. It was an unstoppable sensation rolling like tidal waves from my depths.
"Allecra...I..." I tried to cry out a warning, but somehow Allecra sensed what was about to happen through my writhing form. She neither slowed down nor sped up. Instead, she brought me steadily to the edge of oblivion. My fingers tangled up in her hair, tugging at it harder as I finally exploded, climaxing in such succession that it surprised even me. My inner walls tightened like I was trying to keep a firm grip on Allecra's ravishing tongue, refusing to let her leave my body. Allecra helped me ride the blissful tide by stroking my quivering tummy.
I buried my head into a pillow and muffled my scream as I came undone in her mouth again and again.
When the mind-blowing pleasure receded, I lay back in a delightful daze. My chest heaved loudly while I tried to catch my breath again.
Allecra kissed my slippery region and continued to lap up the overflowing juices from me. I was too far gone to notice until there was the shift of weight as Allecra crawled up over my limb body. She planted kisses on my chest and neck as if to apologize for causing this shocking eruption.
"You're alright?" she whispered. I tried to say something but I couldn't. My throat just closed up. There was this flood of emotions inside me. My chest tightened like I was about to cry.
"Shhh...it's okay, baby girl," Allecra consoled me and smoothed my hair gently. "You'll recover soon."
She kissed me until I could gather my thoughts again. I tilted my head up to her, and she understood what I sought. Our mouths locked one more time and I tasted myself on her luscious lips. Nothing felt more intimate than this.
After a moment, we pulled apart.
"Do you want it, too?" I whispered although my body was still buzzing from the gripping sensation.
Allecra smiled and shook her head. She slid off me and lay by my side. Propping her head on her elbow, she kept staring at me in fascination.
"It's late, and you're tired," she said. "Let's go to sleep."
"But...you haven't..." I tried to protest, yet it seemed I still had trouble forming coherent sentences.
"Shh...don't worry about me," Allecra said and stroked my cheek with the back of her fingers. "Like I said, this is for you. I just feel more satisfied knowing I was the reason you came so hard."
I giggled and smacked her arm weakly, which made her giggle back. Then she pulled the soft blanket over us. We snuggled up into each other. Allecra played with my hair as I slept on her chest, tracing meaningless patterns over her bare stomach.
"There is something I want to tell you, Nina," she said softly.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I can now see why humans are special," she whispered. "I used to think that we might have landed on the wrong planet after seeing the defects and flaws in them. But you show me the other side of what being human truly is. I began to see the kindness and compassion, the courage to face your inner fear and endless emotional strength. And because of you, now I have learned another important thing."
"What is it?" I looked up at her.
"That love is indeed the force of the universe. It makes the world go around and come alive. The only energy that is unique in all reality. It's what unites us in this beautiful collective consciousness called life. And it makes me tremble at the thought that I've found such a beautiful and powerful thing with you."
CHAPTER 33
I lay in bed beside Allecra, staring at her. I realized she was already asleep for her breathing had changed. Her face was youthful and smooth under the dimmest light in the room. It was the first time I saw her sleeping. This indeed was her best face of all, bright and innocent with a graceful boyish charm.
It surprised me to see that at first. How she could be so lovely and intriguing even in her slumber. I gazed at the small contented smile tugged on those tender lips. Her long curved lashes cast shadows on her cheeks. This was her truest self — earnest, guileless and loving. The only face that gave back to me the emotions and the sense of relief that made life bearable.
I could just stare at her like this all night.
My hand came up slowly to stroke her soft cheek, the velvety skin of a sleeping angel in this bed. Whenever I woke up in the middle of the night, a face like this could save me. By day, too, I could shield myself from the dark thoughts by resting my eyes on it. Grief and fear could be repudiated by the sight of this face. This person lying next to me was indeed the finest assurance and the safest refuge for my heart.
I prayed Allecra was not merely an illusion or my own imagination. I would be damned for the feelings I kept amassing for her days and nights. I just wanted to be able to kiss those tempting lips, to share her palpable cravings and be embraced in a burst of her affection each and every day.
My besotted heart was deeply mesmerized by her presence. And I found myself drowning in the ocean of this love and desire. It was exhilarating and comforting at the same time. It was where love raged and passion aspired, making me twist and ache in sweet pain. Allecra had tried to describe it to me before. The pain that ached so sweetly she could die if she no longer felt it. I now understood.
"You're the best birthday gift ever, Allecra," I whispered softly. "I love you."
Delving myself deeper into the comfort of her body, I could hear the air traveling through her chest as she breathed. The beating of her heart was so solacing; it was now my favorite lullaby. At last, my mind slowly slipped into a luring serene sleep.
The next morning, I awoke again, feeling the soft tingles on my cheeks and forehead. My heavy eyelids struggled to open, but they couldn't fight back the spell-bound doziness. I heard myself groaning inside my chest. My brain was still refusing to function, but the tender sensation of soft lips smacking over my skin was too ticklish to bear. Goosebumps rose like waves over my body. My mind was forced to snap into the conscious world again.
Above a pair of crystalline turquoise eyes twinkled with mirth and mischief. Allecra giggled and buried her face against my neck. Her arms tightened around my nude form, pulling me closer to her. She kept nuzzling me and that tickled.
"Allecra...stop," I groaned and made a feeble attempt to push her away. Yet she continued to plant butterfly kisses down my throat and over my bare chest. Another wave of goose bumps raided my skin.
"Wake up, sleepyhead," she whispered and chuckled at my sour expression. "Come on, I know you love me more than sleep."
"Don't flatter yourself," I grumbled and tried to pout. I ended up gasping instead when Allecra's lips wrapped around my left nipple and suckled it hard. "Oh, my..."
"Hmm? What did you say?" she murmured against my breast, but continue to torture me gently.
"I said..." I struggled to put coherent words together and failed miserably. Her velvety tongue went over to another breast and began the same assault there. I whimpered again.
"Your face looks so cute when you sleep, but I think it looks way cuter when you come," she said.
"No...Allecra, I have to go to the bathroom," I tried to whine in protest.
"Do you really, lapochka?" The Russian term of endearment was so heart-melting, especially coming from her sultry voice. I almost lost my resolve right there. The cozy cover was too comfortable to leave, but Allecra's slender legs begin to entangle over mine. I thought my body wasn't ready for this yet, but Allecra proved me wrong. To
my surprise and embarrassment, the wetness had already collected itself promisingly between my thighs.
Oh the things she could do to me!
"Allecra..."
"Yes?" she said, lips brushing over my stomach to my navel. My legs nearly fell open on their own accord. All my life, I had never experienced the loss of body control like this. It was astonishing how your body could betray you.
"I need to go to the bathroom, please," I said and wiggled away from under her. Allecra looked up and pouted, but then her brows smoothed back.
"Nature's call?"
"No, just...to get cleaned," I said.
"Okay," she said. "Then I'm coming with you."
"No!"
"Yes," she said.
"Allecra, no!"
"Nina, yes," she said and chuckled. "Or I'll have my cupcake right now."
"You're evil!" I cried.
Allecra just laughed and then got off me. The cold morning made me shiver after the absence of her warmth. She held out her hand for me to take, but when I sat up, I realized my problem.
"Er...Allecra...I'm still naked," I said coyly. Allecra raised a perfectly arched brow at me.
"Nina, you do understand that we already had sex, and there's nothing I haven't seen," she said.
"I just can't walk around like that!" I snapped.
"Geez, you're such a woman," she grumbled. But when she saw me rubbing my arms from the chill, she came to envelop me into her warm body again. She pulled the blanket over me.
"Give me a minute," Allecra said and kissed my lips once before she turned away and disappeared from the bedroom. I gathered the sheet around me and got up from the bed. A moment later, Allecra reemerged, holding a white silky satin kimono. It was framed in a mix of beautiful Chantilly lace and soft chiffon. She shrugged it off its hanger and walked up to me.
Without saying anything, Allecra turned me around. I reluctantly let go of the sheet, which silently fell to the floor. I felt Allecra's heated stare like a laser beam from behind. She took her time to savor my naked backside before she shrouded me with the robe. I let out a soft sigh as I embraced the silken gentleness of the fabric around my body. But I felt ghostly hands grazing my bum. Out of shyness, I jerked away and turned to face Allecra again. She looked like a kid getting caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
"Sorry," she murmured with a sheepish look.
"It's okay," I said and blushed.
"I bought it, thinking it would look perfect on you, and I was right."
She smiled as her hands came to tie the strings into a butterfly knot for me. Her bright eyes traveled over my body in satisfaction. The lovely robe reached at mid-thigh, and I felt like I was shrouded in cloud.
"You're spoiling me rotten," I said. She just smiled and kissed my forehead.
"You're worth spoiling with all the best things I have," she said and tugged my hair back. But then she frowned. "Where's your necklace?"
"Oh!" I breathed and then I remembered I had taken it off when I took a shower last night. "I must have put it into my dress's pocket."
Allecra grunted and then walked me towards the bathroom. She found my dress again and fished out the tiny black box from the pocket. Then she took the necklace out and proceeded to fasten it back on my neck. The Eytus gem blinked with its radiant light.
"Promise me not to take it off again," she said softly. I nodded as I fingered the beautiful rock. Every time I looked at it, it seemed to sparkle in different colors. "You're the first human to be bound to an Arzurian by the Erytus stone, you understand?"
"Is the bond breakable?" I asked.
Although I believed her vow wholeheartedly, the fear of abandonment was still hidden in the deepest part of my being.
"Why did you ask that?" Concerns laced in her turquoise eyes.
"Nothing, I'm just curious." I shrugged.
Allecra smiled and was about to claim my lips when I turned away. I didn't know why I did that. I tried to shrug it off by pretending to cover my mouth with my hands.
"What's wrong?"
"I need to brush my teeth," I said, my voice muffled. Allecra gave me an eye roll and groaned again. I giggled back and turned towards the sink, towing her along by the hand. All the while, I tried to dispel those bleak thoughts from my head. I must believe in Allecra and me, like my father’s favorite quote of Confucius's, 'If you look into your own heart and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?'
Inside the immaculate bathroom, I stood beside her in front of the twin rectangular ceramic sinks and an enormous mirror. Then we both started brushing our teeth like twin sisters with mirroring motions. When I rinsed, she also rinsed. Suddenly, it became a game of mimicking each other. When I took a shot of mouthwash, Allecra did the same. And when I looked at her, she looked back at me. We both looked like a pair of puffer fish. We burst out laughing like children, spilling the green liquid all over our chins.
After we finished cleaning up, Allecra turned to me.
"Let's take a bath together," she said, which made my body freeze.
"Together?"
Some part of me still hadn't gotten used to doing intimate things like this.
"Yeah, why?" she asked. I shook my head.
"Nothing."
"Good then," she said.
While Allecra prepared the bath, I went to relieve myself. Although the toilet was at the other side of this big bathroom, I had to hold my breath so that it wouldn't sound like a waterfall. I wondered whether Allecra did it like me or like boys. I shook my head. I needed to stop questioning everything. It was getting unhealthy for me.
After I cleaned myself up, I came to sit on a vanity chair and watched Allecra worked. As usual, she was meticulous about everything she did. It was always graceful and efficient. I loved watching her doing household stuff like this. The process was like making a perfect cup of tea or preparing an amazing dinner. I was in awe of how such a vibrant person could be so domestic, too.
Allecra poured a cup of Epsom salt in while the water was running to help dissolve it. Then she added a box of dried herbs of rosemary and chamomile. They spread all over the bubbling water. She made sure the bath was at the right temperature. When she was done, she turned to me.
"Come here," she said.
I got up and walked towards her. She took my hand, brought it to her lips and kissed it. My heart fluttered again at the unexpected affection. I didn't know why I still felt nervous when her hands came to untie my robe. Maybe it was the way her intense eyes looked at me.
"Stop looking at me like that, Allecra," I murmured out loud. My face blushed under her stare again.
"Like what?" she asked innocently, but the corners of her perfect lips curved up.
"Like you want to see me naked," I said. Allecra burst out laughing.
"Damn right I do!" she admitted.
"Stop, you make me nervous," I told her. She leaned in to steal a peck on my lips.
"Oh, don't be," she said. "I imagine you naked all the times."
"You're so perverted," I said and gave a playful cuff on her shoulder.
"Why, thank you." She grinned back.
When Allecra got rid of the knots, the light in her eyes shifted and got darker with the familiar longing. Her hands came to peel the silk fabric off my shoulders, slowly letting her fingers brush over my skin and down my arms. I cast my eyes to the floor. My body shivered from both the exhilarating touch and the early morning air.
When I was completely bare again, Allecra kept exploring my body with her dazzling eyes. I heard her swallowed loudly just like the first time she saw me.
"Nina, how you manage to take my breath away every time is beyond me," she said.
Allecra leaned towards me. I thought she was going to kiss me, but she only touched our foreheads together and smiled. Her hands went to cup my cheeks in her soft palms. Even my own face felt strange to me as if something about me had changed overnight. I could feel the tiny thread of life co
nnected us. It was like our essence and energy were trying to mingle together like floating stardust in space.
My heart picked up speed when she drew me in by the waist, and I slipped my hand under her shirt to feel her soft bare skin. Our eyes still bore into each other, and I marveled at the notion that all of her was mine as much as all of me was hers. Our passion shrouded around us like a warm cocoon.
My hands began to unbutton her dress shirt. Allecra then shrugged it off as my hands went over to the soft supple roundness of her breasts. They filled my palms deliciously and were both firm and delicate against my fingers. I could feel her heart beating in tandem with mine. I was so engrossed that I didn't notice she had slipped off her panties. There was no hesitation. It was just something she felt comfortable doing.
I stepped back like she had done the night before, to feast on every inch of her in fascination and hunger. My eyes traveled from her toes to her shapely legs to her slender thighs and round hips. But something stopped my gaze there. It was the fact that Allecra was made no different than me. Between her endless legs was the same bare pinkish femininity just like mine. For a long moment, I could do nothing but stare.
Allecra watched me watching her. Then she put her hands on her hips and tilted her head to the side.
"You're alright?" she asked.
"Allecra, you're..." I whispered back, but the shocking beauty of her innocent flower made me speechless.
"I know, I'm flawless," she said with a smirk. Her pompous remark caused me to scowl at her in irritation.
"I wasn't going to say that," I lied. "I think you're...well...human-like...like a human."
Allecra chuckled and then narrowed her eyes at me suggestively. "So you're not curious at all?"
"Well, where is it then?" I said.
"Where is what?"
"You know what!" I said, almost stomping my feet in a childish tantrum. Allecra laughed, throwing her head back like a nude goddess in mirth. Her skin glowed against the rising sun, peeking over the sea. Then she came to hold me again.
