Blue Moon

Chapter 18

Lennon was still snuggled into Lyla when he woke in the early afternoon. He could hear the sounds of the neighbours arguing. The man was calling the woman fake.

As he surfaced, Lennon realised that during the day, his hand had gravitated to Lyla's chest, firmly cupping the breast. With a wicked smile, he gently caressed the flesh and earned himself a chuckle. Lyla turned to face Lennon, still wrapped up in his arms.

"Good afternoon. I have something for you."

She grinned at Lennon as he rolled onto her body. Lyla parted her legs, feeling the ecstasy of his body against hers. He didn't make life any easier on her, slowly gyrating his hips, rubbing the hardness against her.

"And good morning to you too. I like your something."

Lennon delved deep into her.

"Straight into it?"

"A little bit of misbehaviour first." he offered with a kiss. "Then I'm going to be so bold as to ask for more amazing oral love with the promise of returning the favour."

Flexing his hips in and out slowly, Lennon leaned up on his hands and looked down at Lyla.

"I'm going to slobber all over your breasts, god, I might even rub myself between them. What do you think?"

"Uh, it sounds interesting?"

Lyla couldn't help but giggle.

"Yeah." he said, groaning.

"How about we just have a relaxing moment together?"

Lennon paused for a moment, then smiled. It was a smile of realisation.

"Say it." he whispered.

"Say what?"

Lennon smiled down at her. Those eyebrows pressed together as he continued to slide in and out of her body, the pleasure increasing. Lyla wrapped her arms around his neck, mewling within the kiss. Sex was slow, passionate and incredibly needful.

Euphoria spiked in Lennon; a haziness settled in his mind as the orgasm finally rocketed. Within the deep kiss, he groaned. Lyla's grip around his neck was forceful, there was no way he could move away.

When he stopped, Lennon remained deep inside of her. The two of them looked at each other. Perspiration peppered their skin as their lips hovered over each other. A kiss that was almost.

"Say it," Lennon whispered over her lips.

Her face twitched with worry as her lips parted. Lennon lifted up onto his forearms, feeling his body shiver as Lyla slid her hands over his shoulders and kept moving lower. They settled on his chest.

"It's too soon. I'm wrong in my thoughts."

"No, you're not. Say it."

"I want forever, and even though hardly any time has passed." She frowned, looking down briefly. "It took me a year to know that I loved Isaac."

"And maybe that's why it was not meant to be."

Her eyes found Lennon with mild shock. She was struggling with what was clearly obvious to Lennon.

"Somehow, I know it's right. I know that this is my life with you. I love you." She whispered.

"And I love you, but do you know why you love me?"

A blush crossed her cheeks as she nodded. Lennon pulled out of her moved onto the bed beside Lyla.

"You understand me like no one has ever done before. You've been by my side in my worst hours. Even when you knew that I was going to kill all the vampires in this town, you still stayed. You went into the black markets knowing that Gamichee would have ordered Carson to kill all vampires there, and you've risked your life so many times, just for me. You're going against someone that will try to kill you, and this mess has exposed a truth about your past that is clearly painful for you. Still, you're prepared to carry on as if it's nothing which I know it's not. You're not shy about telling me how much you want me. You make me feel worthy of being loved. And I'll say it. I've never had sex this good. The previous didn't even bother to care, just hands into my pants for a quick feel and then onto sex."

She thought that Isaac was only just out of that assessment. In the beginning, it had been good but by the time their relationship had hit the rocks, he was barely interested. Just get in to get the job done, and to hell with Lyla's needs. Lyla knew that he was a better person than that, but the weight of their issues caused problems in every area of their relationship.

Laying on their sides, Lennon traced the hair from Lyla's face and tucked it behind her ear. The fingers trailed down her jaw, lowering onto her neck. He'd wanted more right from the beginning. Lyla's standoffish nature pulled his attempts back, but his hunger never died.

"I prefer to spend a little bit of time. After all, it's about mutual ecstasy. If you're not getting what you need, then you're less inclined to come back for seconds, are you?"

"I guess not."

"Although, I am the kind of guy that is always up for the quick path to pleasure like this morning."

"You're like a smorgasbord."

"That I am."

His lips pressed against her stomach as he lowered down Lyla's body. She smiled with anticipation. His tongue was masterful, knowing exactly where she needed him to be. Before Lennon could give Lyla the much-needed pleasure, something in the kitchen broke. The sound of glass smashing killed the mood.

With a sigh, Lennon stood and pulled on his pants. He could hear Ris yelling at Adley.

"Probably best that we both get dressed," Lyla muttered. "Go and stop them from destroying the house, please."

Lennon nodded, pulling the shirt over his head as he walked to the door.

"What are you two arguing about now?" Lennon snapped. "You're interrupting my snuggle time."

He stopped, staring at his friends.

Merissa was visibly upset. Adley leaned on the counter with his usual disinterest.

"He's leaving." Merissa snapped.

Lennon turned to his friend with a heavy scowl.

"What the hell Adds?"

"Apparently, the legion has started conscripting. He has no choice." Ris said in a mocking tone.

Anger flared as she pointed her finger at him.

"He can't see the truth. Gamichee's using the werewolves, and he's about to turn on us."

Lyla stepped into view, Adley turned, and his aloof nature disappeared when he saw how hurt she was. She listened but could barely understand him. Lyla thought that it was getting better but apparently it was no longer necessary to be able to hear him.

"I got the part about spying, I think."

Lennon huffed.

"He said that he's going to spy for us, which is foolish because Gamichee will have his name flagged and the second he turns up; they're going to take him into custody. I gotta say, Adds, I agree with Ris. You'd be walking into a trap if you go ahead with this."
