Chapter 5. Worth it

The salty water lapped over me totally as I swam under the waves, immersed in the near silence of the sea. I liked it under water, always so quiet, like my stress was just no longer there, it was a relief... Everything just washed away.

When I surfaced again, I could feel the water dripping off me in little rivers, my hands pushing my hair out of my face so I could see.

"Hey Baby," I sighed and relaxed into the arms that wrapped around me, leaning my head back to kiss her cheek.

"Hey," I whispered softly in reply. The last few weeks had been a nightmare; only now did I have a chance to relax with the love of my life.

I twisted around to face her after I floated in her arms a little, closing my eyes as I pressed my lips gently to hers.

"You okay baby girl?" She murmured, pulling me closer.

"Yeah, just... Mentally worn out" I could feel her smile softly against my lips, pulling me closer to her warm body.

"Want to go back to the house?" I nodded, following her as she took my hand and led me back to the hot sandy bank of the private beach.

Yesterday had been crazy, our wedding day, which went perfectly, a shock to us. The week before it was a nightmare, the wedding was almost called off, the worst family trouble We'd had yet. And believe me we'd has a lot.

Cierra had been there beside me the whole time, I'm almost ashamed to say she had supported me far more than I took care of her...

"You're thinking about it again." I looked up and met her eyes as she wrapped a towel around me, standing on the deck.

"Sorry." I murmured, looking down at my feet. She tilted my face up again with her fingers, forcing me to look her in the eyes.

"Don't be baby, I know you were stressed. I like taking care of you, it's what I do"

I smiled softly in reply, leaning my forehead against hers.

"I know... I just feel bad... I feel like you're the only one showing you love me...That I'm not... Really showing you how much I do love you..." She frowned, running her fingers over my cheek, wedding ring glinting happily on her finger. I leaned into her hand as my eyes fell shut.

"That's not true, you show it, just in a different way than I do. It's the way you are, and this is the way I am." She pressed her lips to mine, tasting the salt residue from the clear ocean a little ways from us.

I relaxed, thoughts washing away as she brought my body against hers, fingers running through my hair.

"Better?"

I nodded, letting her pull me into and through the house as we'd already mostly dried from the hot sun.

She pulled me into the bedroom, sitting on the made bed and pulling me to stand between her legs, where I promptly dropped to my knees. I don’t think I would ever truly understand why it was such a powerful need for me to be like this.

"I know how stressed you've been, I also know you worry far too much, so talk to me baby girl, why are you still so stressed?"

I looked up at her, resting my head on her thigh, tracing patterns on her other one with my fingertips.

"It's just... Even if we're here together, we belong to each other even more now... But I know we have to go back into all that chaos, and what if something happens, what if someone takes something too far... What if you get hurt? I-I couldn't bear it if I lost you..."

She pulled me up quickly, hands cupping my face and a soft, sweet look in her eyes.

"You won't lose me, okay? Nothing’s going to happen to us... You know what we're going to do baby, we're going to let our families sort out their own problems, because we have our own lives now okay? It's just you and I in our house pet, they can't invade us, I won't let them."

I nodded, whispering back an "Okay" before getting pulled to her lips again, my worries vanishing like a kite with no string.

She stood, pulling me up with her before she laid me down on the bed, looking over my lightly tanned skin with a different, loving light in her eyes.

Cierra pressed a kiss to my stomach moving up slowly before reaching my lips.

"All of this is mine, understood? And no amount of family problems, or drama, could ever make me forget that" I blushed, pulling her into a hard kiss, trying to speak my emotions through it.

I loved her with everything I have, she was my whole world. Saying I do, in front of everyone we knew yesterday, was the best moment of my life.

I let it show through my kiss, my wandering hands that responded to her own. The almost synchronized way we pulled the strings to each other’s bathers to remove them, and each other’s hearts as we kept them as our own.

I always needed her more than even air, and once she started the fire within me, there was never a way to stop it, I always wanted more.

She pulled back for a moment, after the last article of clothing fell away, her dark hair, still wet, falling around her shoulders from when I'd sneakily managed to slip her hair tie off.

"Toys, pet?" She asked, whispering it in my ear with a voice dripping sin.

I swallowed, considering it for a moment before nodding and watching her walk to a drawer we'd unpacked out belongings into.

I let her choose what she wanted, breath coming a little quick, and picking up further when she held up different items from the draw, gauging my reactions and dark blushes.

Finally she decided on a few things, carrying them behind her back and placing them out of my sight.

She showed me the blindfold first, and I shivered, hard. She knew my weakness for being blindfolded. Cierra slipped it slowly over my eyes, fingers trailing down my chest, leaving me shivering before I heard her picking up the next thing, by the sound if it, handcuffs. Yet another of my weaknesses.

"Hands above your head gorgeous, and stay still." She whispered to me, nipping my jaw.

I followed her instructions, heart jumping as one cuff snapped on before the other, looped to the head of the bed.

Next I heard the lid of a bottle open, and my curiosity picked up, whatever toy she had chosen, it was probably something big. I tried not to squirm in impatience at the thought, then I heard her soft gasp.

A part of me was happy and relieved she wasn't just caring for me at this moment, but another part of me was, well, ridiculously turned on, and I couldn't help squirming them, a whimper also embarrassingly escaping me.

Her hand slapped my side then, and I jumped and gasped in response, shaking in need now.

"Shh baby, I've got you" Her voice somehow managed to stay strong, but the tiniest bit shaky, and that tiny giveaway in her voice hinted to me that I was going to be totally out of my mind.

"Please" I gasped out, muscles twitching in my desperate restraint to stay still as she had told me.

I heard her chuckle, but I couldn't focus on that, not when she settled between my legs, pulling my spread thighs onto her lap, something wet, and big rubbing over my slit, over my entrance, but not quite in.

I whimpered and shook harder, I knew what that was, double ended... My god... She just...

I arched when she pushed it into me a little, crying out softly, again a little louder when she slapped my opposite side and pushed my hips down.

"I said still." She growled, leaving me to moan at the demand, no brain function to argue as she slid the large toy deeper into my trembling body.

She leaned down to place a kiss on my collar bone, sucking a mark suddenly as she rotated her hips making her hiss lowly and me gasp.

"O-oh god, p-please" I stuttered out desperately, begging.

She groaned, pulling it out before thrusting it back into the both of us, my voice crying out louder than her hushed curse.

She slowly started doing it repeatedly, picking up a rhythm then kicking it up a notch as she whispered dirty, panted things in my ear, hands gripping my hips to pull me up to her thrusts.

"Yes baby girl, I love the way you respond to me, those sounds you make drive me crazy... Fuck! Your body feels so good against mine, so hot."

I moaned and continued to get louder, hips responding to her every thrust and word and my body got hotter and hotter. White heat burned my system, I couldn't think straight, or even say anything coherent.

She sped up the pace, getting closer as I did, following me for almost every breath, her dirty whispers slowly, breaking up in moans that broke my thought process even more.

I couldn't handle much more, the toy sliding in and out of me hit deeper, hitting my sweet spot over and over and Cierra angled it more. And soon my whole body wracked with shudders as it tensed, I barely had time to cry out my warning before I was falling off the edge.

My orgasm shook every bone in my body, hitting even harder when I heard Cierra's loud moans of completion right after mine.

Thoughts of stress were far from mind when we spent time relaxing together later that night.
