Last night, I told myself I would never drink again. This morning, I promised myself I would never drink again to the point I would lose control of myself.
But now... I realized wine wasn't the only thing that could intoxicate a person to a point, reasons didn't matter. I felt intoxicated with the taste of Hugo's mouth and its gentleness. With the strong arms wrapped around me, keeping me secure. It wasn't too tight to suffocate me nor it was too loose I would slip away easily.
His body heat was increasing, making me swelter. But somehow, I couldn't tell whose body was searing. Mine? Or his? It didn't matter, though. Because right now, I discovered a desire I never felt before.
To own.
I didn't want wealth or anything material. What I secretly and greedily wanted to get a good hold of wasn't something tangible. How could I keep him? That was what I asked myself as he sat me down on the marble table, producing a crisp sound of withered leaves underneath.
I panted as he drew his head back, keeping me in between his palm while my arms were over his shoulder. He looked at me, his golden eyes growing dark as he also panted for air. We let our eyes speak.
"Should we return to my room?" he asked under his breath, but it was obvious he didn't have any patience for that... nor did I have the patience for that.
Hugo was sweating earlier when he came to me as he was sparring with the elite warriors of the empire. Things like this usually bothered me, but I didn't. Neither of my initial worry about the place bothered me.
"Do you want to?" I asked back, averting my eyes down.
"No." He leaned forward, resting his forehead on my shoulder. "I'm going crazy." He breathed out.
I bit my lower lip, swallowing down a mouthful of saliva. I also wanted to tell him I must be going crazy for wanting something despicable.
"Hug — ah...!" I winced and clutched his waist when he suddenly bit my shoulder. "Hugo..."
"Don't move." I froze when he commanded in a low tone, shivering when he bit the thick strap of my dress to the side, letting it fall off my shoulder. Hugo then planted soft kisses on where he bit me, licking it to soothe it.
"I'm sorry. Did that hurt?" he inquired, tracing the side of my neck with the apex of his nose.
"Don't know..." came out a whisper. At first, it did, but now... I don't know anymore. It felt strange that I wouldn't mind getting bitten again. A giggle slipped past my lips when I felt ticklish when he nuzzled his nose behind my ear.
"Tickles?" he crooned, along with a deep chuckle.
"Hugh — stop --" I suppressed my laughter as he kept teasing me, making me clutch his shoulder. "Tick — ah!"
Again, he bit my earlobe, but gently this time.
"Shh." He hushed in front of my ears before nibbling my earlobe, tongue flicking against it. My shoulders tensed up as I bit my lip, suppressing whatever sound that was tempting to come out.
"I won't stop unless you say so, Rinnie," he whispered as he traced kisses on my jaw. I felt his hand squeeze my thigh, but then shivered when it slipped under my skirt.
"Shh. Relax," he whispered, taking notice of my body language. "I won't break you... yet."
A sudden sense of dread crept up my spine as the emergency bells in my head rang. But I stayed still, looking down until my forehead touched his shoulder. There were these overwhelming emotions welling up in my chest, making me focus on his hot breaths hitting my rear and the palm caressing my thigh.
"Ugh... god..." he spoke under his breath, pulling his head back only to claim my lips once again. Unlike his restrained kiss, Hugo fought for dominance. My eyes softened as my racing heart slowly calmed down. My eyelids drooped, closing them to submit to him.
Even when he bit my lower lip lightly, it only made me wrap my arms around his neck. I still shivered when I felt his hand on my hip to where my underwear was hanging on.
"Rinnie," he called into my mouth, hooking a finger on the side of my undergarment. I only tightened my grip around him, my body anticipating what he was going to do next.
"I want you." I froze when he voiced out in the same low tone, snaking his other arm around my waist to pull me closer. His action instinctively made me spread my legs as he stood in between them.
I gripped his shoulder tighter when he whispered into my mouth once again. "Can I... really?" His sentence was incomplete, but I understood what he was implying clearly.
Instead of an answer, I asked back. "Do you want to?" but he also replied with a question.
"Do you want to?"
I felt something hard rub against my lower region as he stood close, making me flinch. I nearly jolted back in surprise, but his arm stilled me.
"I feel like exploding, Rinnie," he bent over to my side, squeezing my hip. "I feel so damn hard it's painful."
His breath grew heavier as if he was in pain. I gulped down as I felt him throb against my untouched flower.
"How... are we going to soothe it?" I asked in a muffled voice. Although I already had an idea how to resolve it, I still asked anyway.
"You already know." He muttered while tracing my neck with the tip of his pointy nose. "So, do you want to?"
I bit my lower lip and nodded. "Yes... I want you."
"Oh, Rinnie... why must you add that last part?" his grip around my waist tightened, withdrawing his other hand from under my skirt to cup my jaw up. Without a moment's notice, Hugo claimed my lips once again.
"You're really driving me insane... my baby deer."
This time, he was rubbing his manhood in between my legs as he carefully laid me down on this very table I was sitting on.
