Rejection and Second Chances

Testing Limits

“It’s been a few weeks, are you liking it?” Ashton’s voice rang out through the bathroom door. I had just finished taking a shower and sighed in contention, rubbing lotion over my body.

“Yes I am.” I said, drying my hair.

“Can I come in?” He said. I looked in the mirror in surprise; I was wearing nothing but a towel and doing my skincare routine after an everything shower.

“Uh…yes.” I said, finishing drying and brushing my hair and putting some oils in it. The door opened slowly and I laughed as he halfway covered his eyes. “You didn’t do very well covering your eyes just in case.” I teased, and he shrugged.

“Can’t help if I don’t care that I see you without clothes on.” He said, his lips turning up in a smirk. My face started turning red.

“But I care.” I said, clenching my towel closer to my body.

“I know you do and that’s why I asked to come in instead of just coming in.” He replied, putting his hands up as if to surrender. “But you’re my mate, so I’m attracted to you. And that means I’d rather see you naked more than anything, but I respect your boundaries.” I was left speechless at his words.

“I…I don’t really know what to do or say.” My voice was a squeak. He stepped over to me quickly, towering over me with a look on his face I couldn’t describe. I knew more than anything that he wouldn’t hurt me, I could feel it somehow.

“You don’t have to do or say anything.” His voice was low, his breathing deep as his hands came up to massage my shoulders. I looked up at him in wonder, my blue-green eyes meeting his own beautiful blue eyes; eyes that were dark with something I couldn’t describe, because I didn’t know the name of it.

“I want you to feel completely safe with me, Adelina.” He said, his hands moving up my neck and rubbing against muscles that had been tense for a while now. I rolled my head against his hands, my body beginning to relax. “But I won’t lie and say I haven’t wanted you this whole time.” My eyes flew open and blood began rushing to my face.

“I…I have never had someone interested in me and I…I have no experience at anything.” He chuckled, a low sound that made the pit of my stomach stir, and my knees began to feel weak.

“Oh, Adelina.” His voice was so husky, the pit of my stomach turning again. “There’s nothing we can’t learn together.” My face tilted up towards him, my wet hair sticking to my skin and his hands. His face inched closer to mine, both of our chests heaving from breathing deeply. Our eyes met and his held a question for me I wasn’t sure I was ready to answer.

Instead, my eyes darted down at his lips and met back with his eyes again. Apparently, that was confirmation enough, because his lips met mine gently. They were so soft and delicate, his fingers slightly scrunching in my hair to press our lips closer together. Our mouths moved against each other in a a slow manner, and I could feel a tingling burn where our skin was touching.

His mouth opened slightly and his tongue poked my lips, asking to enter. I giggled and complied, parting my lips slightly and allowing our tongues to meet. I wasn’t confidant in what I was doing, but Ashton did make me feel safe, like he wouldn’t judge me for not having experience. Like he would teach me to please him, and in turn how to please myself. So I was willing to at least try something a little bit.

And as our lips continued to touch, my body reacted in ways I didn’t know it would. I was pressed into him with my arms wrapped around his neck, one of my legs in between his. His head leaned back, breaking our kiss to look down at me with a wildness in his eyes. He grabbed me by the back of the thighs and lifted me up, setting me on the counter.

His body moved and opened my legs and I began to get nervous. His fingers scrunched in my hair and tugged gently, making me look at him.

“Don’t worry.” He smiled softly. “I’m not going to push you. You’re calling all the shots here.” I nodded, tilting my face towards his again and his lips met mine again, with a little more of a fever. Like he was so thirsty and I was the only drink that would quench his thirst.

I gasped softly when his body fully pressed into mine, the bulge in his pants brushing against a sensitive part of my body and making me shudder in delight. He looked down at me with a smirk and my eyes widened as his lips pecked a trail to my ear.

“Did that feel good?” His voice was gruff, like he was holding something back and it pained him. His hands were on my thighs, massaging the outside of them and working up to my hips.

“Yes, but I don’t know what happened.” I said, squeezing my eyes shut. His fingers came up under my chin and tilted my head back, making me open my eyes and look at him. His lips came down and met mine again, kissing me repeatedly as he brushed our bodies together again, making me gasp again.

“So you did like it, correct?” I nodded the best I could and he shook his head. “I need to hear you say it. Remember, you’re calling the shots so consent is extremely important here, Adelina.”

“Yes, I liked it.” I said softly, my voice a whisper. He kissed me again, making me melt in his hands. His hands traveled back down to my hips, squeezing them softly as he looked me in the eyes and slowly pressed his body into mine again. My body shuddered, something in between my legs giving me a euphoric feeling every time he did that.

“Can I show you something you’ll really like, then?”
