Chapter Ten

Jag
I spend more time than I need in the bathroom giving Milly some time to herself. I should have probably given her the option to say she wanted to stay somewhere else but I couldn't let her go. I wasn't lying when I told her I wouldn't have taken the room if I felt I couldn't protect her from any threat that might pop up. Milly never has to worry about not being safe. I'll kill for this girl. Kill to keep her safe, kill to protect her and keep her brightness with me.
She's curled on her side when I come back out. I stoke the fire and check the locks one more time before I take my place beside her. The scent of her hair wraps around me and comforts me. I'm not really asleep when Milly starts moving in her sleep. She pushes away from me with her hands, and it doesn't take me long before I realize she's having a nightmare.
I talk to her and shake her awake. She turns scared eyes up to me. I hold her face between my hands and start telling her everything is alright. "Hey, hey, hey, you're okay baby. It's alright. Shh, I've got you."
Her hands come to my wrists and for a second, I think she might pull my hands away from her, but she leaves them where they are. I can tell she’s not fully awake yet. I drop my mouth to hers for what is meant to be a quick, reassuring kiss but it turns into something much more. At the first touch of her lips to mine, I stop thinking and become one big, throbbing nerve. She's so damned soft and tastes so sweet - like honey and something even sweeter.
Half asleep she readily opens her mouth for me, giving me the chance to explore her sweet cavern. I teach her how to play, how to use her tongue to tease mine. Before I can stop myself, my hand is trailing down her neck and cupping her breast in one of my hands. I have to stop.
She needs me to stop. She's not fully awake and this is not the way I want to introduce her to the kind of lovemaking I plan to give her. I pull back from her and use my thumb to trace her full lips. "Come lay back down with me and dream of only sweet things, little one." I wrap her tight in my arms and push away the pounding chub that’s taken up residence in my shorts. I'll have plenty of time to explore that once she's fully awake and I've made my intentions clear to her.
I might say that when I'm awake but when I'm asleep I can't help moving my body closer to hers, letting my hands roam where they want, and kissing the softest set of lips I've ever touched before. It takes me a little while to wake up and by the time I do it's too late. My hand is already on her ass. Her leg is thrown over me, so it doesn't take much to pull her the rest of the way on top of me.
There's no way to stop once I'm fully awake, my lips are already on top of hers, taking her mouth with my own. I roll us so she's under me as I kiss her mouth the way I want to kiss her pussy. I'm fairly confident Milly isn't ready for me to eat her just yet. Hell, I've only recently got her to reluctantly let me feed her. I finally pull back and stare down into her eyes. "Hi."
"Hi." She looks at me like she's shocked she was just as much a participant in the kissing as I was. "Um...,"
The door is thrown open and Milly lets out a little squeak pulling me closer to her. I look away from her finally to find out who the hell is interrupting my morning. Charlie and Rani are looking back at us from the doorway. I'm well aware of what we look like. I'm in between Milly's legs and there’s not enough space between us to slip a piece of paper. Her bare thigh is wrapped around me and both of us are clutching one another. Milly's lips are swollen from all the kissing.
"Oh wow! I'm...we're...we were worried about you guys." This might be the first time I've heard Rani so flustered.
There's no way for me to move. If I do Milly's nightgown isn't going to cover much and the movement might be enough to free one of Milly's...many charms.
"Clearly you all are alright and didn't seem to have any problem with the murder room last night."
"Murder room?" It's barely a whisper but I hear it. I also feel the tenseness that comes over her.
"Damn it, Charlie." It's not me that says it even if I am the one thinking it. Rani slaps him on the shoulder. "You're going to freak Milly out."
I'm pretty sure that Milly is already in freak-out mode. Whether that’s because everyone is calling this the murder room or the fact that she woke up with me wrapped up in her is still undetermined. Charlie and Rani give us privacy and I try to give Milly her space. It's not easy with the memory of her softness echoing through my mind.
She gives me the cold shoulder for most of the day. I try not to let it hurt me. It's going to take some time for her and I'll give her all the time I can. When she was sleeping her body knew who to turn to for comfort, for support, for pleasure. If her subconscious knows that then I must be doing something right. I just have to maintain what I'm doing and take things slow. I can totally do that - even if it kills me when she runs the other way from me.
Or when I hear her talking to Rani and denying what she feels when I touch her.
"We didn't do anything."
"Right." Rani sounds like she doesn't believe Milly at all. "I saw you this morning. Nothing doesn't make your lips all shiny and puffy."
They walk off and I don't get to hear the end of the conversation or how Milly answered Rani but I'm betting it wasn't to declare I belong to her and she to me. I'll take what I can get for now.
I'm pleasantly surprised when I find a note addressed to me and learn its from Milly. It doesn't say much but I don't need much to follow after Milly.
Meet me in the sauna. - Milly
I make my way downstairs to the sauna without stopping to think of reasons why I shouldn't. If she calls, I will always answer. The minute I step into the small room lined with wood I realize my mistake but by then it is too late - for the both of us.
