Chapter 120 Pleasure-Pain
Ba dum!
Ba dum!
Lumina\'s heart thumped at the ambiguity of that sentence. The loss of breath coupled with the redness of her face gave away her understanding of the word.
Nix stared at her for a few seconds. At first, he had wanted to trick her like he did when he had referred to her, and the disarranged bed he had met the first time he had gotten to know about the dorm.
His breathing began to slow as his mind had another thought in store for him.
\'She might not like it.\' His thought reasoned.
Pupils dilating, the only sound of them breathing intensified the atmosphere, the rest was a ringing sound to distract him from the main point.
"Nix," Her voice was low and breathy as she said his name when she felt his breath fan her face.
Not willing to resist the desire that came with the proximity between them.
Tilting his head to the right, he slipped his hand behind her neck, "Could I?" His voice was husky as his lips halted inches away from hers.
Ba dum!
Ba dum!
Slowly she nodded her head.
Without a moment of hesitation, his lips were on hers, as he greedily took her lips in his.
Bringing up both hands, he cupped her face, deepening the kiss by parting her lips.
Instinctively pressing her body against him while wrapping her hands around his neck, her hands trailed to his head, taking a handful of his black hair. She pulled hard on it, arching her back.
"Uhnn!" Nix groaned in pleasure-pain, biting down on her bottom lip before pulling away. "That\'s going to hurt, you know?!"
His hands made their way to her thighs, traveling further up, underneath her nightdress. The feel of her smooth skin surprised him, recalling all she could have gone through.
The heat surged from every inch of his body, his control over his thoughts dwindling as his lips kissed down her neck, melting into her collarbone, making her moan.
Lumina closed her mouth, stifling her moans as Nix straddled her, parting her legs, he shuddered as his bulge pressed against her warm crotch, he grinded, groaning to the intense pleasure.
Crkkk!
She gasped as she felt his bulge poke at her crotch through her shorts. Looking down, her chin was pulled back up immediately as Nix captured her in another lip lock.
"Lumina!" He moaned, his self-control nearly lost by the second as he tugged on the little buttons in a haste, some of the buttons popping out from their buttonhole on her torso.
"Nix?" She whispered as embarrassment suddenly washed over her. Trying to cover her exposed cleavage.
"You are beautiful, just the way you are." Nix huffed, his voice hoarse as he cuffed her wrists, with his hand over her head, taking her into the warmth of his mouth once again.
Lumina\'s eyelids betrayed her, and she moaned into the kiss, tugging at his shirt.
"Wow." She blushed hard as his V-cut abs which were on full display. His chest rose and fell with every breath.
"We..." He stared into her eyes, "don\'t have to do this if you aren\'t ready." He said with a groan, closing his eyes to the wave of pleasure that coursed through his body at the tiny discharge of electricity she emitted.
He had wanted to continue, but that slight pain he would feel in every connection they had, needed to be addressed before he could continue.
The bandaged injury on his hand thobbed to the continuous pump of tiny voltages through their body contact.
\'F*ck!\' He cursed under his breath and hissed to the pain, swallowing hard as he thought about how far deep he had gone. If it continued, he wouldn\'t be able to pull out of it.
\'Aren\'t ready?\' Lumina had wanted to speak up on this, but even she had doubts about what was going on.
"Not now!" Nix hissed to the recurrence of the pain.
Her eyes immediately latched onto his injury and his bandage tapping into the current she was unintentionally producing. "I\'m sorry, how is it?" She reached out to examine it.
"Lumina!" He groaned, placing both hands over his eyes as he took his head back, he stood up from the bed, creating enough distance between them.
\'Commitment is one thing I still have to battle with.\' He wished to explain. Although they had built a bit of trust, he had subtly wanted to still watch her for a while.
"I\'m sorry for taking things a bit far." He said with a sigh, bringing about false hope while at it.
Lumina\'s mood dropped at his words, and her whole happy and giddy memory shattered. "No... no... it\'s alright, I\'m sorry I made things feel too cheap."
With a sigh, she pulled the sheets over her body. "I feel so sleepy, suddenly." She faked a yawn, blinking her eyes as she pretended to slowly drift to sleep.
Guilt ate deep in his mind, he did not want things to be a bit complicated. "I know you aren\'t asleep, but I want you to know that I am trying to work on my interactive and trust issues."
Lumina thought about his reasoning, she had been so blinded by what she wanted that she failed to see the struggles he was also going through.
Turning around and on her side to face him, "you don\'t need to feel bad about this." She replied with a genuine smile.
"Could I?" He asked, wanting to stay on the bed with her. The cold floor discouraged him from considering testing out that theory.
Having had his fair share of staying on the floor, it still didn\'t help, but rather just made him understand that the floor wasn\'t the best as he had developed body cramps afterward.
"You mean on the same bed with me?" She asked for clarification on what she had heard.
Nix nodded his head to her answer. "Do we have another bed?" He said with a drop of sarcasm.
