Chapter 17: Say My Name
"You gonna touch up my henna, Ash?" Pepper held her arm up toward the ceiling, twisting it this way and that, as she lay supine on my double bed. "It's getting a little faded, don't you think?"
I looked down on her, pressing my lips together, pulling the corners of my mouth down, and then giving in to a grin.
"As long as we can do it with no pants on." I popped the button on my jeans and leaned forward to grab at her waistband.
"I think that could be arranged," she said and reached down to help.
Between the two of us, we manged to get her naked. I left my pants in a pile on the floor and climbed up.
For a long time we lay there just grinning at each other, like a couple of kids whose parents were out of town for the weekend and they weren't quite sure what to do now that the night they'd been dreaming about was finally here.
But, it wasn't our first night together. So it was even more awkward.
I lay on my side with my head nestled in the crook of my elbow. With my free hand, I traced a line over the winding vines I had painted on Pepper's arm, my earlier henna art that lead to our first attempt at intimacy in my apartment.
"See, it's faded." Pepper pressed her lips together, trying to suppress the silly grin that was just under the surface.
"You know what else is faded?" I leaned forward and traced out a bit of fading henna vine with my tongue, while Pepper broke out in goose flesh. "Your freshly fucked look."
I watched Pepper's tummy shake as she lost out on the effort to hide her grin. She chuckled.
I moved my mouth to where the fading flower lay between her thumb and index finger. I traced it with my tongue. Pepper's chuckling was cut short by a gasp followed by a long, low moan.
"I'll freshen up your henna," I said. "But we'll do it my way."
"Mm-hmm," was all I got in response. I made sure to outline each petal in detail before moving on to the next one.
I held her hand mersin escort in mine, gently twisting it this way and that to get at the fading vines with my tongue. Pepper clenched my hand, and at one point, shivered quite violently.
"Tickles," she complained.
I kept going.
Finally reaching the flower I had done on her shoulder, I lingered to again trace out every petal. When my work was finished, I planted a kiss in the center and moved to the more sensitive skin of Pepper's neck.
She moaned as I swirled my tongue and gently nipped and sucked. I threw my thigh over hers and pulled back, encouraging her to move her legs apart. It didn't take much encouragement.
While Pepper arched her back and exposed her neck to me, I sent my hand exploring her tummy. The quick rising and falling matched the sound of her breathing in my ear.
I forged a path southward, meandering, drawing swirling shapes with my dancing fingers as I went. Pepper let out a sigh.
I avoided the obvious destination, the warm place I wanted to be, and dragged my fingers over her inner thigh instead. Pepper's buttocks clenched and she dug her heels into my mattress, rising up, trying to steer my hand.
I nipped her earlobe and switched to the inside of her other thigh. This earned me a groan. I smiled inside.
"Is there something else that needs touching up?" I teased.
"Dammit, Ash, you know exactly what?"
Pepper never got to finish. I plunged in with my middle finger and went straight to the magic button. I pressed and rubbed. Pepper squirmed and let out a series of halting breaths, followed by a little squeak.
I grinned, but I don't think she noticed. Her head was thrown back, digging into my pillow, and her mouth was gulping air like a fish out of water. Warm wetness surrounded my finger.
I lingered for some time, pistoning slowly, letting Pepper get things straightened out, but not too much. As soon as she became coherent enough to close her mouth or relax her posture, I went after the magic button again.
I pressed it over and over until she began babbling about something or other while thrashing and grabbing fistfuls of the bed sheets.
"Oh, my..." I heard whispered. mersin escort bayan "Mmm."
I took a final swipe at Pepper's neck, drawing my tongue from her collarbone to just under her ear, while she continued babbling. I rolled toward her and moved my mouth lower.
Staring me in the face were Pepper's rock hard nipple, and a chest that was flushed pink. I circled the peak on the left side and then the right. Pepper had decided to release her death grip on the bed sheets and move it to my hair?with one hand at least.
I watched her other hand, fingers spread, rhythmically slapping the mattress. I inserted another finger and was rewarded with a squeeze. A sent my thumb around to draw circles on the outside. The slapping increased.
So did Pepper's vice like grip on my hair. But it seemed that all she could do was just hang on. She wasn't trying to guide my mouth, push me lower, she just held on for dear life.
I shivered, giddy with the power I held over her at this moment. I lowered my head and suckled. Pepper's flesh tightened in my mouth. I let her go with a pop and she moaned.
I cupped her flesh in my hand and did it again. Her nipple in my mouth, my tongue swirling, it was the only thing on my mind.
With my other hand below, Pepper was moving her hips, grinding on the mattress and against my hand. I picked up the pace just a bit. Pepper's near constant moaning told me she agreed with my decision.
How many months ago was it that we first met, that day in the park when I had such high hopes only to be dragged back to reality by the shambles of a woman I saw? It seemed like a lifetime ago. And now she was in my bed.
I lifted my head and extended my tongue. I began laying a wet trail all around and between Pepper's breasts. And just to let her know I still thought her boobs were fabulous, I suckled each nipple one more time.
I started my journey southward. Pepper knew where I was going and what was coming her way. She ground herself harder against my hand in anticipation. I rubbed a little faster, just because I wanted to see her writhing.
Pepper kicked her heels on the mattress. I moved lower.
Her tummy shook as she pulled in shuddering escort mersin breaths, and a patch of goose flesh rose up under my tongue. She was muttering something, but it was nothing I could understand.
She squeezed around my fingers. I moved lower and circled her navel.
"Asshhh..." I heard.
I scooted down and moved my tongue within inches of the prize. Pepper was slapping at the mattress. I could still hear the squishy sounds of my fingers, and it gave me a twinge down below.
I wasn't quite as needy as Pepper, though, and the thought of making her lose herself was foremost in my mind.
I licked around the outside of her swollen folds. She was hot, and tangy, and there wasn't a bit of her that wasn't glistening in the dim light.
I pressed with my finger while I ran a quick circle around her barely hooded nub. Pepper jerked and raised up so fast she nearly took my teeth out. I went more slowly for the next one.
Timing my tongue to the motion of my finger and Pepper's bucking hips, we found our rhythm. I licked and sucked and pressed inside, while Pepper writhed and moaned and squeezed.
"Oh, God, Ash..."
I grinned. She was already saying my name.
"Oh... Ash... I'm..."
I licked and slurped at her, burying my face, letting her lust cover me. At this moment, I had one mission in life, and that was to send Pepper over the cliff screaming.
"Ohh..." She slapped the mattress with her open hand.
"Ohh..." She grabbed a fistful of bed sheet and arched her back.
"Ohh..." She quivered underneath me.
I knew we were close. My finger was starting to cramp as she canted her hips. I kept going.
"Ohh..." Pepper's entire body jerked, ending with a shudder.
"Ohh..." The shuddering continued. Constantly.
"Oh, my God, Ashley Zimmer... Oh, gawd! Yes! Ohh..."
I kept going while she shimmied and shook, and sent news of her rapture to the heavens along with my name. I was covered in her lust, fingers, cheeks, tongue, and I'd never been happier.
As she calmed. I made my way up and rested my head on her tummy. She was still heaving and warm, with a light sheen of sweat.
"So good," she said. "So good." Over and over like a broken record.
"You said my name." I grinned.
Pepper let out a long, guttural moan.
"You said my name."
"Oh my God, Ash, I fucking love you."
I tensed. I felt my grin slipping away. Pepper sensed it too.
