So, wow, first of all. I appreciate the happy responses I received for my last chapter! I’m glad the hard work paid off!

Unfortunately, my schedule was completely derailed over the last few weeks, so it seems as though after this chapter, I will be taking a nearly 2-3 week break from writing. Hopefully, by the time I get back, I will have another chapter of “Outside the Castle” for y’all as well as another chapter of A L.

But I suppose that’s enough rambling from me. Ladies and Gentlemen, Chapter 5!

New here? Here’s Volume 1!

Missed the last Chapter? Here’s Chapter 4!

Feedback Appreciated!

“Held”

“I can’t believe Monday is so soon.” Aaron lamented. His mind had subconsciously counted the hours remaining in this pleasant Sunday and added them to the time he would need to wake for work. It wasn’t an amount he liked.

He rubbed Lauren’s arm wrapped around his chest, running his palm along her smooth skin. It was firm against him, keeping the two of them as close as possible without being too tight. From behind, her voice nearly whispered in his ear.

“Such a shame.” She muttered. “I wish this could last forever.” She felt the many parts of her body touching Aaron. Her legs intertwined with his, their shins stacked. Her hips and breasts pressed into his warm back. The tighter skin around his chest. Her lips and nose brushing into the hair on the back of his head, taking in the smell of coconut.

Around them the covers were tucked in tight, sealing off the cold and keeping the pair as warm as possible.

Lunch had been a pair of salads cobbled together by Aaron from whatever he could find in Lauren’s pantry. He had managed to scrounge up and dice a few fruits and vegetables to mix with the lettuce, and was quite proud of his work. For dinner Lauren had simply ordered a pizza.

To both of them, the meals of the day were merely an intermission between passionate lovemaking. For several hours at a time they would repeat a constant cycle of fucking, then basking in each other’s post-coital presence, then sensually feeling one another up and getting hot for another round.

They had both put each other in new positions neither of them had ever experienced before. Spoken dirty words and blessings of love they had never let another soul hear. Aaron felt comforted, safe, and fully satisfied with how Lauren was able to fulfill his needs. At the same time, Lauren felt worshipped and truly accepted for her every piece. Neither of them could comprehend the other’s internal need to give as much as they received, and only through their sex could it ever come close to being expressed.

After they returned to Lauren’s room from devouring pizza and finished gently making love a final time, the pair began to make plans and curl into bed for the night. They had dried the sweat and discharge off of each other with a towel before settling under the covers, Lauren promised as she climbed in that she could drive Aaron to his workplace when they awoke the next day.

“When should we go out again?” Aaron asked, tucking the edge of the covers under him. He felt Lauren’s arm lay itself over his shoulder and across his chest.

“I don’t want to go out.” She murmured into his ear. “I want you to cook for me again, and then cuddle with me.”

Aaron smiled. “Well okay then.”

After lamenting Monday’s imminent arrival and savoring each other’s touch, Lauren spoke up. “Is tomorrow too soon?”

“Not at all.” Aaron smiled. He gripped Lauren’s hand tightly in his own. “Tuesday I do have shit to do, though.” He piped up.

“Damn, and I’m busy Wednesday evening.” Lauren cursed.

“So, Monday then Thursday?” Aaron tried to conclude.

“Then Friday,” Lauren grinned. “And Saturday.” She kissed his neck. “And Sunday.” She kissed him again.

Chills exploded down Aaron’s body, “Good plan.”

The pair began to close their eyes, and their breathing relaxed. Before sleep took hold of him, Aaron murmured. “Next time, can I get you a leather jacket?”

“Sure,” Lauren yawned. “Can I get you a skirt?”

Aaron groaned an “Mmmhmmm,” and they chuckled together, before finally drifting off to sleep.
