Sarah
Bats words echoed in my head. They made my heart sing but hurt all at the same time. Sing because he was saying the words I had always wanted to hear but god they hurt. Bat would give up his life here for me if I let him. I wouldn’t even have to ask. And it broke my heart.
I could never ask him to that, to give it all up for me . No matter how much I loved him and wanted to be with him.
That didn’t mean I didn’t want to though. Bat had always been it for me. Sure there had been other relationships for both of us. But it had always been my big brother’s best friend who had my heart.
In the beginning when I first started coming on to him, and I had pursued him hard he had fought against it. He didn’t want to cross that line. But god when we had finally come together it had been explosive and it had been explosive ever since. We fought and then we made love. Both angrily , all teeth and growling. Our bodies coming together hard.
“Sarah?” His fingers found my face, cupping it as he pulled away slightly from our kiss.
I was still in shock that he had done that. Kissed me in front of everyone. Sure, people knew we snuck around now and then but he had never once. Not in the seven years that we had been sleeping together had he ever kissed me in public. Sometimes he got jealous and beat on what ever man I was with in a fit of rage but he had never kissed me.
“Mmm.” I couldn’t seem to form words. Bats kiss had been mind blowing. Not because it was passionate but because it wasn’t. It had been soft and gentle. Like he was trying to show me how he felt.
Bats smile turned lazy. The dimples in his cheek popping. “I love you Sarah, I’ve loved you you’re entire life.”
Blinking back tears I reached up to run my hand over his face like a blind person. “I love you as well Bat. Now and always.” My eyes darted to the left. I was suddenly aware of how quiet everyone was. “Everyone is staring at us.”
Bat chuckled. “Yeah, does it matter though? Let them stare.”
“Doesn’t it bother you, people seeing us together?”
He shook his head with such force I was afraid he was going to give himself whiplash.
“No I don’t care, I should never have cared… why do you?” His eyes searched my face. And there was real fear in his eyes. Fear of rejection.
“No, I don’t care but I would rather kiss you in private? Want to go up to my room?”
“Yeah you know I do.”
Leading him by the hand , I tried to ignore the cat calls and whoops that followed us.
But it was hard. I knew everyone knew we were intimate but now they really knew.
“Yes guys.” Bane sounded like an excited child. “Go get you some.”
I couldn’t hide the smile that broke out on my face. Bane was an asshole. I would have to remember to punch him in the nose tomorrow for his crassness.
“So….” Bat flung himself down on to my bed, kicking off his boots as he turned his eyes up to stare at me where I was hovering by the closed door. “What do you want to do?” His dark eyes sparkled.
That was the question wasn’t it. What did I want to do? We had been in this room together so many times, Hell we had been intimate dozens of times both here and elsewhere. So why all of a sudden was it so awkward?
“Sarah?”
“I don’t know, what do you want to do?” I knew what he wanted to do. It was what he always wanted to do when we were alone.
“I want to hold you in my arms Sarah, hold you tight and fall asleep next to you for the first time ever.”
His words made me smile. They weren’t what I had been expecting at all. “We have slept in the same bed before Bat.” I reminded him with a light giggle.
Slowly he sat up. “Yeah but you were still on footsie pjs. I’ve never slept in the same bed as you as an adult. I’ve never spent the night.”
I watched him as he walked towards me. His big hands coming down on my shoulders. “Can I spend the night?”
Mutely I nodded. Letting him turn me I breathed out a sigh as he slipped the straps of my dress from my shoulders.
Bat bent over my back, trailing kisses along my now naked shoulder as he pushed the dress over my hips. Where it fell to the floor at my feet.
He didn’t pounce on me though. Instead his lips trailed my shoulders and upper back. The bristles on his chin scratching against my sensitive skin.
It was the most erotic, most loving thing anyone had ever done to me.
We just stood there, my back to his front as he caressed his big hands over my hips and stomach.
“You are so damn beautiful.” His teeth grazed my ear lobe and fresh waves of arousal flooded through me.
God I loved this man. He was my one true mate.
“Touch me Bat, please.” I wasn’t above begging for what I wanted especially when it came to him. “I need to feel your hands on me.”
Bat hesitated, the pad of his thumb sliding over my erect n****e provocatively. The groan that left my mouth was agonised.
I needed more.
“Tell me that you love me Sarah. Tell me that you are mine and that you won’t leave me.”
“I love you.”
His hand came over my breast, cupping and pushing it upwards. “Good because I love you.”
“Kiss me Bat, kiss me like this is the last time we will ever be together.”
He turned me harshly. Pulling me against his chest so my breasts was squashed against his chest. “Not our last night, Sarah.” Bat growled. “The first night of the rest of our lives ok?”
“Ok.” Tilting my chin up I captured his mouth with mine. My tongue sliding into his. He moaned loudly against my lips.
Not daring to come apart, he walked me backwards towards the bed. We fell together. Our lips never parting, our breath mingling as we explored each others bodies with ours hands and mouths like it was the first time we had ever been together.
Or maybe the last time.
