Something In Between: Sequel to On The Edge of Tomorrow

Chapter 12

"You two made out for the whole movie!" Timmy complained.

"Wait, the movie is over?" I asked as I blinked around the room and noticed the credits rolling on the screen before us.

"Yes, the movie is over, and you missed the whole thing," Tim continued.

"We didn't miss the whole thing," Billy argued. "We saw the dinosaurs and the explosions."

"Did you? Name one character in the movie," Tim challenged.

"Right, well, there was..." Billy stalled. "You know, there was T-Rex, of course."

"That doesn't count. Lil, you want to try?"

"Did you know Rex is Latin for king?" I diverted.

"Really? That's fascinating." Billy played along.

"Yeah, and Regina is queen. That's why Queen Elizabeth signed her name Elizabeth R," I continued.

"Not working," Tim announced. "Lil, one character?"

"Yeah, sure. There was that guy... um... John..." I guessed. It seemed like a common and safe guess.

Tess immediately burst into laughter.

"She was right, wasn't she?" Billy exclaimed.

"That was a total guess," Tim complained.

"Look who won the game night," I laughed.

"Oh, I think I won the game night," Billy noted as he nuzzled into my neck.

"Ew, I don't want to see where this is going." Tim dramatically covered his eyes as he spoke.

"Come on, Tim, let's leave the lovebirds to enjoy the rest of their night," Tess added as she pulled Tim towards the front door. "You two kids have fun," she added with a giggle.

"Ew, ew, ew," Tim continued as Tess pulled him towards the door.

Billy pulled himself up from the couch and extended his hands to me.

"I'm so sleepy," I groaned as he pulled me to his side.

"Do you want me to carry you?" He offered with a smile.

"Kinda," I laughed.

"Your wish is my command," he teased as he picked me up and slung me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"This is not what I had in mind!" I giggled as I swatted his back.

"Guess you'll have to be more specific next time." In a swoosh, I was bouncing down to my bed.

"I guess so." I shook my head at him.

"Well, I guess I should head to bed," he reluctantly noted.

"Yeah, bed," I sighed, as I let my hands flow over the comforter. "I wish..." I began, but stopped short.

Billy's pause extended, waiting for me to finish. "You wish what?"

"I wish you could stay here, maybe for a little while. I know your mom and all; you wouldn't want her to wake up to us..."

"Right." Billy's voice was distant as he warred with the thoughts in his head.

"But maybe we could snuggle for a little bit," I offered.

"Are you sure? I know you're tired."

"Mmhmm, but not that tired." I suddenly wasn't feeling tired at all.

"Well, yeah. I guess we could hang out for a little while." Billy agreed.

"Yeah? Okay. Um, let me just go change into my PJs and..."

"Right, PJs..."

"You still don't..." I remember all the nights sliding into bed next to a naked Billy.

"Yeah, no. I still don't own any PJs. But I could..." He paused to ponder his options.

"Boxers. You can wear your boxers. I mean, I basically wear a girl version of boxers and a tank top."

"Okay, yeah. I'll see you in a minute then," he agreed.

I grabbed my PJs and hustled into the bathroom. I immediately realized that I hadn't grabbed a pair of panties. My options were to wear the thong I had worn all day or to go commando. I knew, given the situation, that commando beneath my shorts was probably not setting us up for just snuggling, but the idea of falling asleep in a thong felt much worse. I changed, brushed my teeth, and, with a big breath, headed back out to the bedroom.

Billy was already in bed, staring up at the ceiling.

"Hey," I breathed as I entered.

"Hey," he murmured back.

"Is this a bad idea?" I asked.

"Wow, no second 'hi.' Maybe this is a bad idea." Billy sat up a bit in the bed as he spoke.

"I'm serious. Are we being foolish?"

"Yeah," he acknowledged. "We are, but maybe we aren't foolish enough. What if we're just making everything too big? We don't need to figure out our entire future. We don't even need to figure out tomorrow."

"That's a lot of thinking while I was brushing my teeth," I teased as I molded myself to his side.

"I'm serious."

"About not being serious," I joked again.

"It's not like we're being reckless. I love you. I want to show you that love."

"Show me that love." Something in me was incapable of taking the moment seriously.

"Will you stop making fun of everything I say?" He groaned as he pulled me on top of him.

"I can't help it," I giggled.

"Then what do you want me to say? I love you. I'm in love with you. What else is there to say?"

"When you say you want to 'show me your love.'"

"You really want me to say it? Here, in my mother's house," he noted.

"Why would you bring your mom up right now?" I pushed off his chest, so I was in a sitting position.

"Why would you want me to say it?" He challenged.

"Sometimes it's nice to know you're desired." I shrugged.

"You can't feel how much I want you?" But he knew I could feel it. His knowing, crooked smile split his face.

"I can, but I want to hear it too," I teased. I was convinced my gentleman wouldn't be able to muster the words.

Billy sat up a bit and brushed the hair from my face before letting one of his hands cup my cheek. "Lil," he began as his eyes gazed into mine with laser intensity. "I want to fuck you."

I knew I had asked for it, but hearing the words from him sent a wave of lust through me that culminated between my legs.

"Oh shit," fell from my lips.

"Wasn't that..." For a moment, concern filled Billy's face that he had misread the moment.

"I'm so fucking wet right now," I announced.

Then it was Billy's turn. "Oh shit," fell from his lips as I could feel a stirring from beneath me.

I pushed him back and sunk into his neck, peppering him with kisses.

"Oh fuck," spilled from his lips in a breathless tone. His hands flowed up my back, with one landing at the base of my neck and the other pausing luridly near my breast. "You say it," he managed.

I continued to move up his neck until I reached his ear. I let my teeth gently tug on his earlobe before I whispered, "Billy, I want you to fuck me all night."

"Oh fuck," he managed again before he flipped me onto my back. His lips and hands were suddenly everywhere, sending shooting sensations through me. It was all I could do not to tip over the edge right then and there, but I knew we had a long night ahead of us.
