I Want You (2)

The playful glint in Eydis's eyes melted away as Astra's touch ignited a fire beneath her skin. Her breath caught in her throat as those tantalising fingers danced across her back, leaving a trail of tingles and heat. "Aren't you bold?" she breathed, her voice husky with a sudden yearning.

Astra's response was immediate and filled with a raw hunger. She pulled Eydis flush against her. With a firm grip, she boldly slid her hand beneath Eydis's waistband, relishing in the tender touch of her smooth skin. The surprised moans that escaped Eydis's lips were quickly swallowed by Astra's hungry mouth, their tongues entwined passionately, leaving both of them breathless. 

Astra's slender fingers, driven by an insatiable desire, ventured deeper, deftly slipping past the delicate fabric of Eydis's lace silk undergarments. With deliberate slowness and feather-light caresses, she traced the contours of Eydis's bare curves, sending electric waves of pleasure rippling through her body.

Emboldened by Eydis's intoxicating moans, Astra began to explore every inch of the supple flesh beneath her fingertips, teasing, caressing and kneading with a way that left Eydis craving more. The soft fabric of Eydis's lace silk undergarments clung to her throbbed core, amplifying the sensations that pulsed through her body.

Astra's hand glided lower. But Eydis, breath hot against her throat, reached for her hand. Eydis's fingers felt clumsy, fumbling against the smooth skin, yet the frantic pulse thrumming beneath Astra's wrist was a siren song to her senses. Reason, a cold fist clenched in her chest, warred with the molten heat blooming in her core. 

"Stop," Eydis rasped, her voice a touch breathless, "You're still in the process of recovery, Astra."

Astra's voice, a mere whisper against Eydis's ear, was raw with an ache that scraped at her soul. "I need you," she whispered, her fingers digging into Eydis's arm, "To feel you. Even if it's sinful, even if I..."

An eyebrow arched, but Eydis's gaze softened at the naked vulnerability in Astra's plea. "Sinful because we're women?" she asked, her fingers threaded through the silken strands of Astra's hair.

Amethyst eyes flared, the intensity burning through Eydis's amber. "You are young, Eydis. Barely a woman, while I've lived for a very long time." Her voice cracked, the confession trembling on her lips.

Amber eyes softened at Astra's words, Eydis leaned forward, her lips meeting Astra's in a searing kiss that tasted of forbidden fruit and unspoken promises. Astra's frown deepened, her hand tightening on Eydis's arm as the kiss ignited a fire that threatened to consume them both.

Pulling back, Eydis let out a breathless laugh, her words to Dean Swans echoing in her mind like a mocking prophecy. "Well," she murmured, tracing the flush on Astra's cheek with her thumb. "I guess I did fall for a dangerous undead after all."

Astra's blush deepened, a mix of annoyance and something else, something primal, flaring in her eyes. "Undead?" she growled, uncertain whether she liked the term.

The brunette's smile widened, a sphinx's grin hiding secrets behind its curve. "Firstly," she murmured, her voice a velvet caress, "Eydis is eighteen now. And secondly...well, I'm not Eydis at all."

Astra's breath hitched, a shard of ice cracking through the heat ignited by their kiss. "What do you mean?"

A conspiratorial glint sparked in Eydis's eyes as she leaned closer, the air thick with unspoken truths. "I'm Amelia Kruger," she breathed, the name a whispered promise. "Thirty years old, hacker-assassin extraordinaire from a distant past, and...well, let's just say Mythshollow's curse went awry. So, in a way, I might be the older one here."

The mask of composure on Astra's face slipped, replaced by a kaleidoscope of emotions that flickered across her features like flames in the wind. Disbelief, then confusion, morphed into something else entirely as Eydis's words sank in. A spark, not of fear or anger, but of…hunger, a raw, primal desire that sent a tremor through her very bones. It was a reaction Eydis hadn't anticipated, and it sent a delicious shiver down her own spine.

"Amelia Kruger," Astra breathed, the name rolling off her tongue like a forbidden promise. "Amelia…" she whispered breathlessly as her fingers sunk into the silky depths of Eydis's hair. The strands slipped through her grasp as she tugged Eydis closer, her lips meeting hers in a crash of raw desires. Words, Eydis's words, had broken the dam within her, a torrent of need unleashed. She craved every inch of Eydis, yearning to understand the secrets hidden within Amelia's past, the taste of honeyed peaches on her tongue, the heat of her body pressed against hers. It was a primitive urge, a primal roar that demanded satiation.

She needed to feel her, all of her, now.

"Call me Eydis," the brunette whispered, her voice a feather against Astra's skin. "I'm your Eydis, just as you're my Astra." The raw need beneath her possessive claim sent a tremor through Astra, mirroring the earthquake within her own soul.

Like Astra, Eydis yearned to shed the skin of her past. Amelia, the disillusioned assassin who saw only darkness in the world, who danced with destruction just to see it burn. But here, in Astra's arms, she was just Eydis, a girl who found her own constellation in the vastness of her amethyst eyes. Her north star, her celestial sphere.

Astra, breathless, her voice thick with longing, whispered back, "Say it again."

Eydis leaned closer, her lips tracing a path down Astra's ear, her voice warm against her skin. "I. Am. Yours, my Astra," she breathed, each syllable a tiny explosion of hope.

The older girl's body pulsed with desire as Eydis words echoed in her mind. She leaned in, her lips crashed against Eydis's, a collision of passion that consumed them both. Tongues tangled, exploring the sweet chaos of each other's mouths. Astra's fingers dug into Eydis's back, desperate for more contact, as the brunette's thigh pressed against her throbbing core. With every movement, Astra's hips eagerly ground against Eydis, seeking the friction that would bring her to the edge. 

But the storm was interrupted by approaching footsteps. Eydis froze, attempting to move back. But Astra, the fire in her veins burned too bright to be extinguished, she surged forward, capturing Eydis' lips once more, a silent plea and a defiance rolled into one. Her lips devoured, tasted, claimed, leaving scorching trails across Eydis' skin.

"Wait," Eydis breathed, her voice husky with desire yet laced with a thread of worry. Her eyelids fluttered shut as Astra's fingers scraped along heated curves, tongues traced the edges of exposed lace. "They'll see us," she rasped, her voice laced with panic, but her body betraying her in the way it arched into the touch. 

Astra's fingers fumbled, but with the urgency of a starving wolf, she ripped Eydis' blouse open, revealing a creamy expanse of her skin, barely covered by Eydis flimsy excuse for a camisole. Her lips followed the trail, tracing a path of fire down her neck, across the swell of her breasts, sending shivers dancing across Eydis' skin.

Astra's hands explored, moulding to the bare curves beneath the camisole, sending a jolt of lightning through her. The air grew thick with the scent of their desire, a heady mix of adrenaline and arousal.

A whimper tore from Eydis' lips as Astra's thumb grazed the sensitive nubs, hardened with arousal. Astra moaned at the sensation, she bit on the brunette's neck as she squeezed harder, earning herself an intoxicating moan from the taller woman.

Astra's hunger grew, and she couldn't resist the urge to taste more of Eydis's alluring skin. Her lips trailed lower, leaving a trail of wet kisses and nibbles along the curve of Eydis's breasts, until finally reaching the edge of her flimsy camisole.

With a swift movement, Astra forcefully pulled down the fabric, exposing the luscious expanse of Eydis's bare chest. Her lips curled into a grin as she relished in the soft moan that escaped the brunette's lips. Astra's breath hitched as she drank the sight before her—Eydis's supple breasts, their rosy peaks rising and falling with each frantic breath.

An intense heat ignited in Astra's amethyst eyes as she leaned in, devouring one of Eydis's aroused nipples with her lips, suckling and flicking it with her tongue, savouring the intoxicating taste of her woman. Eydis moaned, her body arching towards Astra's searing lips, craving more of the electrifying sensations.

With her free hand, Astra eagerly seized and kneaded Eydis's other breast, her touch teasingly grazing the sensitive peak. Eydis's gasps mingled with her moans as Astra's touch intensified, pinching and rolling the hardened peak between her fingertips. The pleasure surged through Eydis's body, igniting a fire that burned with an unquenchable hunger. 

Eydis's body quivered beneath Astra's touch, her moans growing louder and more desperate, her pleasure building with each passing moment. She tangled her fingers in Astra's hair, urging her closer, craving even more of her attention. Astra's hand travelled lower, exploring the soft curve of Eydis's stomach before slipping beneath the waistband of her skirt.

As Astra's fingers brushed against the damp fabric of Eydis's lace undergarments, a surge of pure pleasure shot through the brunette's body. She gasped, her hips instinctively pressing forward, seeking more intimate contact. Astra's touch grew more insistent, her fingers tracing teasing circles over the fabric, eliciting delicious moans.

"A-Astra."

The sound of Eydis whispering her name like a prayer ignited a primal fire within Astra. She pressed herself harder against the brunette's thigh, her fingers continuing to explore the wetness between Eydis's legs. Astra's breath hitched as she felt the heat and hardness of Eydis's aroused nub beneath her fingertips. With a sense of urgency, she applied just the right amount of pressure through the silken barrier, driving Eydis closer to the precipice of pleasure. The delicious moans of ecstasy pouring from Eydis's mouth were quickly muffled as Astra seized her lips in a passionate kiss. 

Before Astra's fingers could slip inside Eydis's silken fabric, the sharp click of the handle pierced the silken bubble they'd woven. Eydis, heart hammering against her ribs, ripped away from Astra's embrace and fumbled for her black cloak, its familiar chill a stark contrast to the warmth they'd just shared. Astra, chest heaving, watched her go, the scent of their passion clinging to the air like a phantom limb. 

She stared at the door, the realisation crashing down on her like a tidal wave. This, this wasn't enough. It was a whisper in the dark, a fleeting taste of paradise snatched away too soon. But the taste lingered, a bitter promise on her tongue. And she would claim the feast. She would build a world out of moonlight and whispered desires, a haven where every rustle of leaves, every creak of floorboards, would be a symphony played only for their ears, a fortress where their love could dance uncaged and their whispers echo against eternity.

The cheerful chatter of the physicians, Natalia and Melissa, was a bucket of ice water splashed on the intense embers of Astra and Eydis's desire. But the intrusion barely registered in Eydis's mind. All she could see was the curve of Astra's neck, a pale crescent beckoning like a forbidden moon. Every breath Astra took fanned the fire within her, every flicker of amethyst eyes a whispered promise of shared oblivion.

In between banters and checkups, Astra's gaze held Eydis's captive from across the room, a smouldering glint ignited in her amethyst eyes. Her fingers, tracing a teasing path, made their way to her lips, lingering on each tip as if savouring the phantom taste of Eydis. With tantalising slowness, she brought them to her mouth, sucking on them in a way that sent a shiver down Eydis's spine, eliciting a blush that coloured her face. It was a silent acknowledgement that they both knew the storm of desire between them was about to break, unleashing a passion that would consume them both.

Meanwhile, Natalia and Melissa, their faces flushed with a mix of amusement and concern, exchanged a silent glance. Natalia, ever the diligent friend, made a mental note to stock up on extra food, including quadrupled cheese sandwiches. Eydis, after all, might need the stamina to keep up with the storm brewing in Astra's eyes.
