“Good,” Aeris smiled sweetly at him, chuckling just a little, as it had been mostly teasing. She perked up a little when he added that he would do anything she wanted him to do. “Anything?” she asked with a kittenish grin, biting her lower lip coyly, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “I can think of a few things,” she told him, her voice sweet and alluring as she moved to sit on top of him, one of her legs on each side of him, careful of where she placed herself. She then slowly trailed a finger across his cheek, staring down into his eyes as she did. She finally felt more like herself again, no longer timid or unsure.<br/><br/>As her green eyes stared down into the warmth of his brown eyes, she swallowed hard, her teasing demeanor softened to an honest one, still bold rather than timid, but not so mischievous or playful as before. As was often the case with her teasing, she had meant what she’d said, she was simply kind of terrible at being honest and serious sometimes, so humor and teasing were her ways of coping. She wasn’t ready to call it a night. She still wanted more, and sitting here, looking into his eyes, she was reminded of just how much she wanted him. Just as she had thought before, he was enough, whatever they had already shared, it was enough, and yet, nothing would ever be enough. She would always want more of him.<br/><br/>She leaned down to kiss him, soft and gentle, holding back the longing and need she felt, not wanting to pressure him. She knew that he was content as they were, and he had already been wonderful, so wanting more felt selfish. Still, she couldn’t deny that she felt this way. She didn’t know why she’d even bothered when he probably knew by now.<br/><br/>She broke away from the kiss, pulling back only enough to look deep into his eyes. “Can I be selfish? Just for tonight?” she asked, her voice almost a whisper, her green eyes twinkling with love and desire, yet somehow also looking like the eyes of a puppy, begging her master for another treat, “please?” If he wished to stay as they had been, for a short time or for the night, she wouldn’t push him. She would still be happy to be with him. But she thought that she at least had to ask. After all, the last time she’d wanted to be selfish with him and hadn’t even tried, she’d lost him for so long. She wouldn’t make that mistake again.<br/><br/>She waited for his answer, waiting until he was ready before kissing him again, one hand on his cheek while the other rested on his chest. She kissed him deeply, passionately pouring all of her love, desire, and need for him into the kiss as she moved so that there was no longer any space between them, her breasts pressing against the warm skin of his chest. One hand moved to tangle itself in his blonde hair while the other roved over his skin, tracing the muscles in his arms, chest, and abdomen before she moved to slide down a little, stretching out just a little, allowing her more areas to touch.<br/><br/>Her fingertips traced lightly along his inner thigh before lightly stroking the length of his shaft. She then pulled away from the kiss only enough to speak, her lips still brushing against his as she did. “I would do anything you asked, too,” she whispered, “All you have to do is ask,” she added in the same whispered words before kissing him again, this time almost hungrily. It scared her just how badly she wanted—needed—him, but that wouldn’t stop her. Of course, if he wished for her to stop, he need only say the word.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Jax had waited sort of patiently for her answer, hoping she wouldn’t get mad when he’d called her princess. She hadn’t gotten mad, instead she had asked him, almost begged him to continue. “Your wish if my command,” he responded lightly, the way he’d spoken the words making it difficult to tell if he’d said it jokingly or if he’d be serious. Perhaps it had been both, but either way, he’d meant it. He would do anything she asked.<br/><br/>He moved her legs gently to expose the sensitive flesh before leaning into her, kissing the area softly, feeling the way her body responded to him. He trailed his tongue along her inner thigh first, making his way slowly closer, teasing the area with light touches each time he passed. To be honest, he was teasing himself almost as much as he was her, but it was worth it. He wanted to make it last, to make sure he gave her as much pleasure as he could, until she couldn’t take any more.<br/><br/>Once he had finished his teasing, he parted her legs just a little more before his tongue traced along the tender flesh, tasting it, teasing it slowly. Unlike before, he would take his time to please her and to enjoy every part of her. Of course, if she asked him, begged him with her sweet voice, he would give her the release she wished for. Until then, he took his time, allowing his tongue to press inside of her, teasing slow circles and strokes around her sensitive flesh, taking her into his mouth and sucking lightly, paying attention to the way her body moved, the sounds she made, everything that told her what she liked most.<br/><br/>When he was satisfied that she couldn’t take much more, he gave her what she wanted, finding the spot where she was most sensitive and giving it special attention, not stopping when she pushed off the headboard, pressing herself further into his mouth. He continued to lick her, harder now, until she called out his name and he was certain she had gone over the edge as she fell back into the bed. He then moved so that he was on top of her again, smiling down at her before she pulled him into a soft kiss and, once again, turned the tables by rolling him over so that she was now on top of him.<br/><br/>She whispered that it was her turn, which sent a shiver of anticipation through his body, followed by a low moan when she nibbled at his earlobe before kissing his neck, then his chest, following a similar pattern to what he had done to her. As she kissed down his chest, she stopped to lightly lick and suck each of his nipples before moving on. It felt better than he’d thought it would. Everything did. She was giving him a taste of his own medicine.<br/><br/>He could feel her hot breath against his skin as she made her way down, and he found that his hands were digging into the sheets as he waited with bated breath for what came next. Her devious half-smile only served to increase this feeling as her hands rested on his hips. He pressed his head against the mattress, letting out a moan that was far louder than before when she took him into her mouth and he pulsated beneath her lips. He squirmed slightly, although not uncomfortably, beneath her, wanting both to thrust into her and to stay perfectly still and let her work whatever devious magic she no doubt had planned.<br/><br/>He’d opted for the latter and she did not disappoint. His fingertips clung to the sheets, not wanting to risk hurting her by pulling her hair. Every little thing she did drove him further, sending waves of pleasure through his entire body until he couldn’t take anymore, his own back arching slightly, pressing himself further into her as he called out her name and loss himself in the bliss. He then fell back into the bed as she had before him, panting heavily. His body felt sorer and more exhausted than he did after a good workout, but it was not an unpleasant feeling.<br/><br/>He reached up to take hold of her hand, tugging on her arm so that she would fall into him, immediately wrapping his arms around her when she did. He nudged gently into her hair and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath in, taking in the smell of her hair as he did and then letting out a happy sigh. “I love you,” he breathed out, his words airy and completely honest. He felt completely content to stay like this, to hold her, forever if he could. He didn’t hide this from her and she would feel all of it through their bond.
