| Lying on his back his hands tucked behind his head as he stared at the ceiling, although it wasn’t the ceiling that he was seeing. A vision of red curls, golden brown eyes and an impish grin looked down at him. He sighed deeply to himself. How he wished he could he with her now, feeling her in his arms and running his fingers through those wild curls of hers that he loved so much. Simeon had to admit to himself that he now hated sleeping alone. He would much rather be curled up with his little Sithcat, his face buried in her hair. Then again he had a feeling that if they were together that they would be doing more then sleeping. He grinned to himself at the thought as he rolled over onto his side. His hands on her body touching her as she yelled out his name in passion. His mouth tasting her making her moan and scream his name again. He had to admit that he loved hearing her call out his name. It always made him want her that much more. Lost in his fantasy of making love to Rela, he was half asleep when he felt something lightly touch his shoulder making him jump. “Frizzy?” he heard her whisper. “Rela?” he whispered back in disbelief. Quickly sitting up in bed he turned to see Rela standing there. He noticed that she was shaking slightly and was hugging herself. She was also biting her lip in apprehension as if she didn’t know if he wanted her there. Reaching over to her he quickly pulled her onto his lap and into his arms. She clung to him in desperate need as he slowly began to lay them both down on the bed. “What’s wrong Rel?” he whispered into her ear. Rela didn’t answer as she shook her head and buried her face in his chest. “Another nightmare?” he asked gently. This time she nodded her head and quietly whispered back. “And you weren’t there.” “I’m sorry Rel. If I could have I would have been. It was a bad one?” Rela didn’t answer him as she buried her head closer into his chest. She smiled slightly as she inhaled his scent. She loved the way he smelled, musky with that hint of antiseptic. Rela sighed as she felt his arms tighten around her in comfort, except for those few fingers that he was running up and down her spine. Slowly she opened her eyes and watched the pulse in his neck. Bringing up her hand she lightly placed it on his chest and noticed that his pulse went a little quicker. “Simeon?” she whispered. “What is it Sithcat?” “Make love to me.” “Rel, we ca…” “Please Simeon. I don’t like to feel this way.” Rela looked up at him. He had been right when he had asked if it had been a bad nightmare. She hadn’t woken up screaming at this one, but it had left her feeling drained and vulnerable. She had immediately gotten up and left her apartment still in her pyjamas and snuck into Simeon’s room as fast as she could. “Please Simeon. It’s either that or press a lit cigarra against my hand, and I prefer you.” “Rel…” he whispered as he smoothed her hair. “Please Simeon.” She begged again as she reached up and kissed that spot on his neck. Rewarded by a moan Rela kissed it again. She trailed kisses up and down his throat, and then gave his adam’s apple a flick with her tongue. She smiled to herself again as she felt him growing hard against her. Brazenly she raked her nails down his chest and over his stomach. She stopped at the waistline of his sleep pants and ran her fingers over to his hip. Simeon moaned again as Rela kissed him in the hollow of his throat. Then she quickly reached down and grabbed him fully in her hand. “Oh Force!” Simeon gasped as he bucked his hips against her. He reached down and grabbed her wrist pulling her hand away. Then suddenly his lips captured hers. His tongue ravaging her mouth. For a moment, she was slightly startled, her eyes flying open, but then they gradually began to drift closed. Warmth began stealing through her body, making her arms feel heavy. She clutched to him in need. He nibbled on her lower lip, teasingly and playfully. His hands slid under the hem of her shirt, lightly caressing the skin above the waistband of her pajama bottoms. “I can never say no to you Sithcat.” He whispered to her. Rela gasped with a smile on her face as his fingers pressed against her skin. She parted her lips, letting his tongue gain entrance again. Her arms came up and looped around his neck, holding him tight. He turned slightly, shifting his weight so that he was more on top of her. His tongue stroked hers. She toyed with his braid wrapping it around her fingers as she kissed him back. She didn’t mind his familiar weight settling on top of her. Actually she savored in it. Simeon left her mouth and his lips trailed across her cheek to that spot just below her ear. He knew that spot was the surest way to get the strongest reaction from her. He kissed it gently then flicking the lobe above it with his tongue before gently sucking on it. Rela gasped. Her eyes shot open as thrilling sensation shot from her ear through the rest of her body. She felt his tongue tracing her ear. Her eyes closed again as the feelings continued to course through her, making her shiver. His fingers slowly began pushing up her shirt, revealing her skin inch by inch. He nuzzled the side of her neck with his lips, pressing tiny kisses down to her shoulder. Her insides were rioting. Her heart was pounding hard against her ribs. He was the only guy that made her feel like this. But he was the only one that had ever been able to get close to her, thought of her as more then just something that warms his bed. He made her feel so alive inside. Her fingers traced the back of his neck to his shoulders, her nails lightly scraping along his skin. The feeling of her nails made his skin tingle. He had succeeded in pushing the small strap of her top off her shoulder with his nose and he was gently sucking on her skin. He could smell the summer blossom she always seemed to smell like. The light floral scent seemed to fit her perfectly. His hands came to rest under her breasts since he had pushed the thin garment up to reveal her stomach. Rela ran her hands down his back to his waist, feeling the contours of his muscle under his skin. She could feel his hot breath against the crook of her neck and his hands resting on her ribs, as his thumbs began to stroke the under curves of her breasts. She slid down and found his mouth with hers, kissing him hard. Simeon’s breath came out in a rush as she crushed her lips against his. His hands, pushing the shirt up higher, and with the briefest break between their lips, pulled her shirt off and tossed it to the floor. His mouth found hers again, their tongues sliding over each other, twining. She shifted her body under his a little until he was lying between her pajama bottom clad thighs. Her knees pressed against his hips. He gathered her securely under him, being mindful of her small frame. He nipped her chin and went lower, his lips not missing an inch of her throat. She intoxicated him as always. When he was with her he never had to drink, he could get drunk off of her. She ran her fingers through those thick curls of his as he moved lower. Each touch of his lips sent trills of electricity through her body. She arched her body as his lips found their way between her breasts. His tongue traced patterns across her skin while his one hand came up and skimmed over her breasts, barely touching her pert nipples. He captured one in his mouth and drew it deep into his mouth. A sigh escaped her lips. The other hand rubbed over her silky skin, sliding over the curve of her tiny waist to her equally slender hips. He could feel her heart pounding against his lips. He moved his lips to the other breast, taking in the tight bead of flesh. His tongue laved it, the sweetness of her skin making him feel lightheaded. He moved lower still, his mouth over her navel, his tongue delving inside, making her jump. She squirmed under this assault. It was making her insides quiver. Her hands squeezed the taunt muscles of his back. Simeon deftly began to undo the tie of her threadbare sleep pants. He had them undone in record time and they landed in a heap on the floor beside the bed. She was left in dark green cotton bikinis. His fingers toyed with the elastic that rode her hipbone as his lips came back up to hers. Simeon would admit to himself that he was a bit disappointed that they were green. He felt Rela’s fingers reach up and brush a lock of his hair out of his face. “I can’t wear white all the time.” She whispered as she smiled up at him. “Why not?” he pouted. Rela just laughed softly and pulled him to her with his braid. She flicked her tongue out over his lips. Simeon rubbed his nose against hers and returned the gesture before taking her mouth again. Rela moved her legs restlessly against his. She could feel his erection pressing meaningfully between her spread thighs. Her hips moved involuntarily, making him growl against her mouth. He wanted her. She was the only one that he ever wanted more then anything. The only woman he had ever taken to bed and the one that he loved. He felt her move again, sliding teasingly against him. He wanted to be inside her, feeling her surround him, and calling out his name. And he knew she wanted him too, that she needed him. He could feel the heat and wetness though her panties, and he longed to slip inside her. She moved again, hearing him growl deep in his throat. She felt his fingers slide off her hipbone, moving inwards under her panties. She felt him shift slightly and his hand found its way between her thighs, his fingers moving against her hot wet flesh. Her breath caught in her throat as he stroked and his fingers slipping inside her. She whimpered. He felt her closing around his two fingers as he carefully thrust them inside of her. He could feel her whimpers against his lips. Her hands clasped his hips and began tugging impatiently at the waistband of his boxers and sleep pants. She didn’t want to climax without him not being completely inside her. Simeon felt her impatience and readily complied with what she wanted. His sleep pants and boxers were tossed to the floor and her panties followed them. His thumb rubbed across the sensitive nub of flesh between her thighs at the same time his tongue was moving over the tip of hers. Rela felt all the sensations come in a rush as she arched against his hand at the same time she felt him thrust inside of her. A choked gasp broke past her lips. Her eyes flew open to meet his. “Oh Force Sithcat!” he moaned. He felt her tighten around him. His eyes found hers, their lips now barely touching. His other hand came up and brushed back her curls away from her face. His fingers caressing her cheek and jaw. Her eyes watched his. She could see the heat in them, but she could see the tenderness in them as well. The light in his room cast her skin in a golden light. His nose rubbed against hers; his eyes still locked on hers. He gently thrust inside her again, making her whimper again. He could stay this way forever with her if he wanted to. “Please don’t scream Rel.” she heard him beg. “I don’t know who will come running if you do.” Rela’s nails clutched his back, her knees tightening against his hips with each stroke. She wrapped her legs around him, her ankles locking him into place. She felt an avalanche course through her as all the feelings and sensations came to a head and exploded within her. "Simeon, I love you" she sighed softly, her nails digging into his resilient flesh. Simeon watched her lips as she said those words. She had always been loud, ever since their first time together. She would always scream his name when she came and he loved it. He couldn’t help but admit that now hearing her whisper his name was quite erotic. He liked the breathy whimpers that issued from her parted lips. He felt the sharp pain of her nails for an instant he finally couldn’t take anymore as he hooked his arms behind her grabbing her shoulders and burying himself inside of her. Spilling his seed as he came. "Rela," he groaned as he pressed his face against her neck. Her eyes gradually closed when she heard him say her name. She pressed her lips against his slightly sweaty hair. His breath came out raggedly against her neck. He blinked his eyes rapidly as he finally lifted his head up to look down at her. Her eyes weren’t completely closed and he could see the golden flecks shining through her lush lashes. His heart melted a little at that look. He pressed a chaste kiss on her lips as her eyes drifted completely closed. She couldn’t keep her eyes open anymore and the last thing she saw was the intense emotion reflected in the black orbs above her. Her arms slipped lifelessly to his sides. Simeon smiled, pressing another kiss on her lips as she fell asleep. He moved off of her slightly, tucking her delicate body against his. He realized that she still had a hold of his braid and he smiled again as he untangled it from her fingers. He pulled the crisp white sheets up over them. He felt her breath tickle his neck as she slept. He rubbed his hand over her back, feeling each vertebra. She was a sithcat, dangerous when crossed, yet at the same time she was ethereal, fragile, and lovely, but only when she allowed you to see her with her guard down. And she was his and he loved her. "I love you Rela," he whispered as sleep finally claimed him at last. ~*~*~ Thunder rolled causing Simeon to wake up. He cast a look towards the open window, noting the rain falling outside. He looked over at the fiery hair spilling across his other pillow. One of her hands was folded neatly under her chin, while the other disappeared beneath the pillow. She was lying on her stomach, the sheet now around her waist, exposing her naked back. His lips tilted up in a slight smile. The thunder made the windows rattle again. He sat up and groped at the floor for his boxers. He stood up and slipped them on, stepping over the rest of the discarded clothes on the floor. He shut the window, watching the rain come to splatter against it once he did. He couldn’t help but think for a moment that there was something that he forgot. Something important that he was supposed to do. He went back over to the bed, glancing at the chrono. It was still late, but the artificial light flooded the room. He crawled beneath the covers of the bed again, moving closer to Rela. He propped himself up on his elbows and looked at her. Her pink lips were parted slightly and her nose twitched a little before becoming motionless again. Strands of her hair fell across her cheek. He moved to push them back behind her ear, his fingers trailing across the satiny skin of her cheek with finesse. Her lashes lay like fans on her flawless golden skin. He smiled as she whimpered in her sleep. He moved closer to her, drawing her close to him. She cuddled against him as his arm secured her against him once again. He pressed a kiss on her forehead before closing his eyes and going back to sleep. *~*~* Rela woke up to the sensation of lips trailing up and down her throat. Keeping her eyes closed she could help herself as a small moan escaped. If it was a dream she wanted to keep dreaming. If not, even better but she still wanted to savor in it. Long fingers trailed up and down her sides making her skin tingle. She loved the feeling of Simeon’s hands on her. The way he could be rough yet so gentle at the same time. Her friends laughed when she tired to explain it as being healer hands, but she knew that what it was. She gasped as she felt his palm brush over her breast. She arched her back she felt her nipple captured into the warm wet confines of his mouth. “Yes.” She whispered. “Open your eyes for me Sithcat.” Simeon begged. “No because if I’m dreaming I don’t want to wake up.” Simeon just answered with a guttural laugh as he took her other breast into his mouth. Rela allowed another moan to escape as she reached for those thick curls of his. “You’re not dreaming Sithcat.” He promised her. Slowly Rela opened her eyes. She blinked a few times to get used to the brighter artificial light that flooded through the window. When she looked up she saw Simeon smiling down at her as she felt his familiar weight settle on top of her. As she lifted her knees to allow him better access to her she felt the material of his boxers press against her. “You got dressed.” She pouted. “Rela if I hadn’t, I would have had you again long before now.” He told her as he leaned down to kiss her. “You have the tendency to squirm some while you’re sleeping.” He settled his elbows on each side of her head. He couldn’t help but slip his fingers through a few of her curls as he bent down to kiss her again. “Do you know how long I laid there feeling you rub your leg up and down mine?” he asked as he reached over and kissed that spot below her ear. He was rewarded by another gasp from her. “Or having to deal with the feeling of your bare skin against mine?” He ran his tongue over her collarbone before nipping at her shoulder. Not to be outdone Rela reached down and grabbed the waistband of his boxers. “Take them off.” She begged. “What do you say?” he teased. “Take them off NOW!” The wraparound smile evident on his face he quickly slipped them off and threw them back onto the floor. Settling back on top of her Simeon brushed his nose up against hers again before quickly slipping inside her. “Yes.” She breathed. “Do you know how good you feel?” Simeon asked his face pinched in pleasure. “As good as you do.” Rela replied breathlessly. They began moving together, Rela bringing her hips up to meet Simeon as he thrust in and out of her. Smiles evident on both their faces as they stared at each other. ~~~ Rubbing the sleep from his eyes Gethin looked up and glanced at the chrono. Not paying to much attention to it he slipped from the makeshift bed. Then suddenly he mind snapped awake and he stared at the chrono again. “What the… I needed to be awake thirty minutes ago!” he hissed to himself. That was the last time he would depend on someone else to wake him up in time for his shift. Grabbing his tunic he pulled it on as he burst out of the spare storage room where he had been sleeping. “Simeon, you better have a damn good excuse.” Making his way toward the padawan’s room. Upon reaching it he flung the door open and stepped inside. The site of red curls against white sheets and bodies intertwined greeted him. Stunned for a moment he watched as small hands ran their way down a muscled back to clutch at the sheet that barely covered them. The quiet moan of “Yes Simeon.” broke him out of his stupor and he quickly turned around and shut the door behind him. “Well that explains a lot.” Gethin muttered to himself. Crossing his arms Gethin leaned up against the door. He waited for a few moments until he thought it was very quiet. Then he sharply knocked on the door. “You’ve got maybe thirty seconds until I come back in. I would suggest you use it wisely.” He called through the door. “Back?” he heard them ask each other, which caused a smirk appear on his face. “That’s what I was supposed to do!” he heard Simeon suddenly shout. He gave them a few more seconds and then he burst back into the room. He caught Simeon standing, but just being able to pull his boxers the rest of the way up. Rela on the other hand was still sitting on the bed, but had the sheet pulled up covering her along with her hair cascading madly around her. “I’m sorry!” Simeon immediately apologized. “You should be!” Gethin bit back. “I just completely forgot.” Simeon tried to explain. “Yeah, I know! I saw you forgetting.” He informed them as he looked at Rela. Gethin noticed that Rela blushed slightly. He was definitely seeing her in a new light. With her hair down and wearing just a sheet she was quite… Suddenly Simeon stepped in his line of sight with a dark scowl on his face. “Haven’t you seen enough?” he asked darkly. “Jealous are you?” Gethin asked back. “Well none of this would have happened if you could learn to keep it in your pants!” “Gentleman!” Rela suddenly interrupted. She stood up still clutching the sheet around her and walked over to Simeon. “I apologize Gethin, if I had known that Frizzy was supposed to wake you up I would have reminded him.” “That’s well and good, but that still doesn’t mean that other aren’t going to find out about this.” “No Gethin please!” Simeon begged. “You should have thought about that before.” “But I know that you and Sula…” “But I always did my job!” Gethin turned around and started back out the door. “He won’t tell Frizzy.” Rela said loud enough for Gethin to hear. “And why won’t I?” he asked as he turned around to look at her. “Because if you do, I’ll tell what I know.” She smiled. Kriff! He forgot that she knew about that time that he and Jemmiah… “You wouldn’t.” “I don’t want to.” Rela admitted. “But I don’t want Frizzy getting in trouble for something that I did. I was the one that snuck in.” Gethin narrowed his eyes at her. “All right. I won’t tell if you won’t.” he agreed. “Deal!” Rela readily agreed as she stuck her hand out. “Please don’t make me walk over there to shake your hand, it’s hard enough to maneuver with this sheet.” With a smile and a wary glance at Simeon Gethin walked over and shook her hand. “Just don’t let it happen again.” “We won’t.” they answered together. With a shrug and a smile Gethin left and headed back to the infirmary. As soon as he was out of sight Simeon turned and cupping Rela’s face in his hands captured her mouth with his. She couldn’t help herself as she let a moan escape. But when she felt herself being lowered back down onto Simeon’s bed and feeling him back somewhat on top of her she pulled away. “Frizzy! Don’t you think we’re in deep enough as it is?” she asked. With a wicked look Simeon looked down her still sheet clad body to her pelvic area. Then wolfishly looked back into her face. “No, not nearly enough.” He growled. “SIMEON!” “Please Rel?” he begged. With a disappointed smile Rela reached up and toyed with his braid. “No Frizzy. You need to go to work. Gethin could still snitch, especially if you don’t show up. Or it could be your master next time.” Simeon’s eyes went a bit wild at the thought. “Good point.” He agreed. “But that doesn’t mean you can’t come over and see me tonight.” “Yes please.” He grinned. They both laughed as Simeon helped Rela up off the bed. They both quickly got dressed as fast as they could, although Rela did hear Simeon whimper several times when she caught him staring at her. Simeon was just about to leave when he turned and gathered Rela up in his arms. “Are you okay now Rel?” he asked her gently. “Better then ever.” She smiled up to him. “Thank you.” “It was my pleasure.” He grinned. “And mine to.” She laughed back. Simeon continued to hold her not quite wanting to leave her yet. He brought his hand up and traced her lips with his thumb and then caressed her cheek. Closing her eyes Rela leaned into his touch. “I love you Sithcat, you know that right?” “I know Frizzy.” She whispered back. “Tell me Rela.” She heard him beg. Rela opened her eyes to see the vulnerability in Simeon’s dark ones. With a gentle smile she reached up and wrapping his braid around her fingers, pulled him down to her. She kissed him deeply and looked into his eyes again. “I love you Simeon Cates, and when you come over tonight I’ll show you just how much.” A wraparound smile lit up his face. He leaned down and brushed his nose against hers one more time before he kissed her and left for the infirmary. Rela, now alone in his room, looked around and smile to herself. “He wants to marry me.” |
