Like Falling

by Jaden Wilkes

  “He’s an amazing young man with a terrible past and a horrible family. If you want to go the distance with him, you will end up frustrated and angry at times, but in the end you’ll have one loyal and loving man to call your own. It’s up to you to decide if that’s worth all this in between shit though.”

  Sarah sighed again and reflexively pulled her phone out of her pocket to look at it. Nothing. She held it up and said “I should go answer this text, thank you so much for the talk, it helped more than you know.”

  Sarah climbed under the covers and checked her phone again. Nothing from Tyr. She broke her vow and sent him a short note, agonizing over making it perfect...not too needy, but letting him know she’s thinking of him. In the end she settled on short and sweet...”Thinking of you, hope all is well. xoxox”.

  There, how can he feel smothered by that? She didn’t want to pull a Tiff move and force him to move to fast, and in the end lose him because of it.

  And now to deal with Eric. Naomi was still downstairs watching some cheesy old film with Nic and her parents, so she would have to figure this out alone.

  The text read “hey, did you ever make it to town? Where are you?”

  She replied “we’re here, had car trouble. what’s up?” It was almost midnight on a Monday, she did not expect a reply. She was surprised when a moment later her phone lit up and it was Eric.

  “Excellent!!!!!! I can’t wait to meet you. When?”

  Sarah felt bad for him, knowing this was a set up and things were never going to happen.

  “How about tomorrow? I’ll let you know where in the morning.”

  “Sounds great!! Night sweetheart.”

  “Night.” Ugh why did he have to ruin it? Why does he insist on wrecking our friendship with this shit?

  Sarah clicked her phone off and set it on the night stand. She felt a small twinge of guilt over meeting this guy without Tyr being there, but also for feeling so evil about Eric. He seemed so sweet and genuine, he just wasn’t for her. She sincerely hoped he would find somebody suitable soon, and maybe she could confess her ruse and they could end up being friends. He had become somewhat of a constant presence in her life the last couple of months and she would miss him if he was gone completely.

  *****

  Sarah woke startled. It was some time in the middle of the night, she thought she heard something but couldn’t be sure. She listened, heard a dog barking down the street and had convinced herself she was dreaming when she heard it again. A light tapping on the window. She was on the ground floor guest room at the back of the house, Tyr’s old room she had been told. She listened again and there it was, a little louder this time. She got up, crossed the room and peeked through the slat of the blind. Tyr was there, grinning broadly and looking as delicious as ever.

  “Little pig, little pig, let me in,” he said, laughing.

  “Hey, are you calling me a pig?” Sarah giggled and opened the window wide.

  Tyr clambered through with a bit of a clatter and said “Not at all, I’m calling myself the big bad wolf.” He grabbed her, lifted her up and nibbled her neck while growling. She was ticklish and wiggled out of his grasp, laughing and gasping for air.

  “Be quiet, everyone is sleeping!” Sarah managed to say after she closed the window. “What time is it anyways?”

  “It’s time for me to be with you Sarah, I missed you. I can’t stay away from you now, you’ve bewitched me,” Tyr said as he stripped off his clothes. He pulled her to his naked body and whispered “Let’s get you naked, I’m feeling a little under dressed.”

  He helped her pull her oversized t shirt over her head and she slid her panties off over her hips. He held her body against his, the room was quiet except for the sound of their breathing. She could feel his heart pounding in his chest and she laid her head on him, listening to it. The rhythm brought promise, the pumping blood made her feel connected to him in a way she had never been connected to any other living being.

  “Hear that?” he asked. “That’s my heart pumping my blood through my veins. It’s pumping you through my veins.” He leaned close to her ear and whispered “I can’t get you out of my mind Sarah, my every thought is full of you and my body craves you when you’re not near. I got up in the middle of the night and drove here like a man possessed. I didn’t think I would survive another moment without you.”

  Sarah leaned into him, let him support her as she felt weakened by his words. The tension left her body and she knew she was home in his arms.

  “I feel the same way Tyr, I was like a caged lion pacing and obsessing over your text. When I didn’t hear from you I felt like a flower denied the light, I wither without you.” There I go, better than my usual one word replies. I think this man is drawing me out.

  “I’m sorry, I don’t even want you to feel like that again,” he said and started trailing kisses down her neck, to her throat and collarbone. He paused and pressed his lips on her carotid artery, letting her blood and heat pulse against his mouth. He stuck the tip of his tongue out and slowly licked her throat, nibbling and biting as she threw her head back. He lowered himself to his knees in front of her, pulled her over him and took her nipple in his mouth. He sucked and nipped at it, she could feel it harden at his touch. He reached up and ran his hands down her back, cupping her ass and burying his face in the juncture of her thighs. He inhaled like a man needing air and flicked his tongue into her slit.

  Sarah moaned and swayed, almost losing balance at the sensation. Waves of heat radiated from her pussy, the traveled like aftershocks through her limbs, making her shudder and twitch from the force of it.

  It was like Tyr was kissing her, tonguing her clit and nibbling her outer lips. He drank in anything she had to offer and was making the most insanely sensual sucking noises that Sarah had ever heard. She almost couldn’t hold herself up. She grasped his head and wove her fingers in his hair to keep herself grounded, she was almost frightened she would float away without this small act.

  When she felt the pressure building in the base of her spine and thrust her hips forward into his face, she knew she was close. She started to climb up the precipice and got ready to plunge over the other side into orgasm. He made a small, hungry noise that pushed her off the edge and she cried out, not caring who she might wake. Her knees did buckle then, and she collapsed into his arms, limp and exhausted.

  “I couldn’t sleep thinking of this,” he whispered and stroked her hair. “I woke up as if in the midst of a fever, dreaming of you. I could still taste you on my lips.”

  “I want you inside of me Tyr, I need to feel you again, deep inside of me, completing me,” she said, almost out of breath. He lifted her up, took two long strides to the bed and laid her down gently. He ran his hands along her body as though blind and discovering her for the first time, massaging and stroking until her skin was on fire and she was desperate to have him fill her. The longing and anxiety of waiting for him drive her into a near frenzy and she writhed under him.

  He paused and looked down at her, “You are so beautiful Sarah, I can’t believe you’re mine,” he said and kissed her. He said I’m his, she thought and shivered with delight. He pulled away again and stared into her eyes. “You’ve woken something inside of me, something I never thought I would feel,” he said and kissed her throat. She arched herself up against him and spread her knees apart to receive him. He slowly entered her, every cell in her body craved him and took all her will to not dig her fingers into his back and drag him into her faster. She wanted to enjoy the tortuous seconds before his hardness reached the end of her. She sighed and he pulled back, she endured the long seconds until he reached her entrance, the head of his dick almost sliding out. He paused, she breathed in and lost control, she finally dug her nails in and whispered “I need you to fuck me Tyr”. Where did that come from? My god this man drives me wild! Tyr leaned down to say in her ear “I need to hear that again.” His breath was hot on her cheek and she was trying to pull him down inside of
her. He was driving her mad with desire. “I said I need you to fuck me,” she repeated with a small moan.

  He slid in a couple of inches, slowly, then paused. “I need to hear it again Sarah, I want to turn your blood to fire the way you’ve done it to me.”

  Sarah grabbed his ass, she could feel his muscles straining to balance over top of her. She whimpered in his ear “Please Tyr, you have me on fire, I am burning for you, to feel you. I need you to fuck me more than I’ve needed anything in my life. I…love you.”

  “That’s what I needed to hear,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. He thrust into her, fell on top of her and said “I love you too,” as he continued to slide himself in and out of her.

  Sarah thought she must be losing her mind. She felt herself tangled around his body, her legs wrapped around his, drawing him tighter and deeper, but she felt as though there was a part of her hovering above the scene, watching their naked bodies. She didn’t know if her physical body could hold the depth of her emotion, her feelings for Tyr. She felt like a well spilling over with lust and love, she couldn’t contain her feelings for him any longer.

  She cried out, and bit his shoulder to keep from waking the rest of the house, he made a small sound of pain. Her breath was ragged, coming faster as she got closer to the peak of her pleasure. Tyr was above her, he was looking at her, holding her gaze. She closed her eyes and he said “Open them, look at me Sarah, I want to watch you when you come.” She opened them and locked them on his face, she could feel herself getting closer, her hips were thrusting up underneath him and she was gasping, barely able to take a full breath. The intensity of his gaze was overwhelming and she fought the urge to close her eyes. She felt herself tip over the peak and fall into the brown of his iris, she could see her face reflected in his beautiful eyes, a mask of pure joy.

  She started to relax, her urgency had passed now that she had come back to earth. She was fully present in her body now and hugged him close.

  “I love you,” she said with wonder. How could she have not known this before? She had loved him from the moment she spoke with him on the balcony that night. She had always known her body craved his touch, but her heart longed for his acceptance, but now that she had both, she couldn’t do anything but bask in the warm glow.

  “I love you too, I have for so long now,” he said and stroked her face. She felt his hardness jump inside of her, responding to his emotion.

  “I think your dick loves me too,” she smiled and kissed him.

  “He definitely does,” he laughed and she felt him twitch again. “You have the most extraordinary eyes, has anyone ever told you that?”

  “I know people think they’re weird, with the brown spot,” she replied.

  “I think it’s beautiful. They are the most intense green I’ve ever seen, then the perfect little imperfection,” he sighed and started to slowly move against her again. “I feel like I have a chance with you, I can be the little imperfection in the intense beauty of your life.”

  She was responding to him, moving herself to meet his languid thrusts. “You aren’t an imperfection Tyr, you are perfect but you don’t know it. You are perfect for me. Feel how you fit into me-” She was cut off as she gasped, he thrust himself harder into her as she spoke her love.

  She arched herself upwards to meet him again, feeling the crashing of their hips and the slippery contact of their tongues spiraling into each other, the passion and need building inside of her.

  “Wait for me Sarah, I’m almost there,” Tyr whispered into her ear, his breath hot and coming faster.

  “I will always wait for you, I will always be ready for you...” she couldn’t continue, she could feel his body tense up and knew he was about to join her in the crashing waves on this ocean she found herself in once again.

  “You are so soft, so perfect, so beautiful...I love you,” Tyr panted and stopped in mid thrust. Sarah felt his hard cock pulse as he came, she wrapped her legs around the back of his thighs and pulled him in tighter, letting herself go and joining him in orgasm. She felt her pussy twitching and clenching him as he went soft inside of her. She didn’t stop though, she was on the wave of pleasure and kept crashing into shore until she was left ragged and disoriented. She clung to him and trembled, the force of her release bringing tears to her eyes. He ran his finger along her forehead and face, traced down her throat and settled there, feeling her blood flowing through her body, the steady strumming rhythm of her heart pounding.

  She sobbed his name and he comforted her, cradling her gently and whispering her name. “Sarah, my perfect beautiful Sarah. You are everything to me, you give me hope, you make me feel alive, like I’m no longer simply existing.” He slid out of her at last, leaving her feeling empty and full of longing. How did this happen? What was life like before him? She could no longer remember a time before Tyr consumed her every thought, and now her every waking moment.

  He rolled off her and pulled her to him. She reached down and dragged the blankets over their cooling bodies and looked up at him. They gazed at each other for a few moments, the silence punctuating their mutual pleasure. She could still feel his heart pounding in his chest and wondered if hers was matching his pace subconsciously. She felt that connected to him at that moment, that it wouldn’t surprise her if their bodies were in perfect tune.

  Finally she spoke, her voice small against the greatness of her love for him, “I missed you so much, I didn’t know what to do without you.” She settled her head against his chest and felt him wrap his arms around her protectively.

  “I know, I missed you too. I got to my grandma’s and immediately wanted to come back here to your arms. My old room felt weird without you in it, everything I did felt like it was a ghost of its former self. You’ve done something to me Sarah, I feel like I was living in a black and white movie before I met you. Loving you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

  She could feel the words vibrate in his chest, his deep voice comforting her and making her bolder than her usual self. “You’ve done the same for me Tyr, I’ve been thinking about you since the first time I saw you in class. I wanted you to like me so much, I think I drove you away with my neediness.”

  “What do you mean? I’ve wanted you from the beginning too, but I don’t want to break the light that you have inside of you. I never wanted to drag you into the ugly parts of my life,” he wiped the drying track of a tear from her cheek. “I tried to push you away, I wanted to save you from me. Anything I’ve ever loved has gotten hurt, and I would die before I let anything happen to you.”

  “You don’t need to protect me, I know what I’m doing. I know I’m naive, and sometimes I’m such a dork, but don’t ever hold back from me again. I couldn’t live without you, and I couldn’t live knowing that you were keeping yourself from me. Promise me you’ll never try to push me away again, promise me you’ll keep me in your life, even the ugly parts.”

  He hugged her tight, and buried his face in her hair. He inhaled and said “I promise.”

  They held each other like that and talked until the light gradually filled the room and it was morning. They fell asleep with their limbs entwined and their chests rising and falling in perfect time.

  CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

  Sarah heard the soft sounds of the house waking up, rolled over to find Tyr’s arms again, and went back to sleep. Some time later Sarah swam up from somewhere deep in a dream and felt Tyr’s kisses covering her body. She smiled, still half asleep, and stretched.

  “Good morning, or should I say good afternoon?” he laughed and nibbled her neck.

  She squealed, wiggled away and said “Oh my god, what time is it?”

  “Does it matter? Let’s spend the day in bed.”

  “I’m supposed to meet Eric today, or I mean Naomi is.”

  Tyr’s face went dark and he sat up. His voice was cold when he said “Do you still have to do that? Can you send her by herself?”

  Sarah sat up and moved next to h
im. She put her arm around his back and said “Are you kidding me? You know Naomi will mess it up. I have to go.” She rubbed his back, trying to calm him. “We won’t be long, I promise. When I get back we can hop into bed and carry on with this...ummm...bonding.”

  He didn’t reply, finally he turned and grabbed her, pushed her down and laughed, “Bonding, is that what you kids are calling it these days?” He kissed her all over, nibbling and prodding with his tongue until she was out of breath with laughter.

  “What the hell are you doing in there?” Naomi called from the door, rattling the locked handle.

  Tyr pulled away with a grin, “Nothing, nothing at all!” he yelled in a high pitched voice. Sarah’s eyes widened and she laughed.

  “Um, Sarah? Are you ok?” Naomi asked, her voice concerned.

  “Yes,” Sarah shrieked as Tyr started tickling her again. “I’ll be out in a couple of minutes!”

  They heard Naomi walk away and say “I don’t know what the fuck is going on in there,” to Nic, which made them both burst into laughter again.

  “Ok, time to start the day, whatever’s left of it,” Sarah said, standing up and trying to appear authoritative. Every cell in her body pleaded with her to climb back under the covers and wiggle all over Tyr’s naked body, but reason took hold and she walked to the guest bathroom to have a shower. She shook her ass, looked back and said “Are you coming?” He jumped up, ran to her and wrapped his arms around her, carrying her to the shower. Soon hot water was streaming down on the two of them and they explored each other’s bodies until it went cold.

  After the shower, they got dressed and wandered out into the kitchen, both of them looking sheepish.

  “Hey! Tyr! When did you get here?” Nic exclaimed, surprised by his appearance.

  “Uh...some time in the middle of the night,” he replied and slapped Sarah’s ass. She jumped and said “Yeah, he crawled through my window. How romantic.” She rolled her eyes and smiled.

  “Why didn’t you use your key?” Nic asked.
