What Do You Fear? [randomname98766789 and Amaranthine]

This was everything Alicia had ever wanted or needed - and everything Bryce said mirrored her own thoughts. Being together made this shitty world still seem like the best, and they would overcome anything that was thrown their way. God, she loved everything about him.

He pulled her dress off with her aid and then they were bared to each other again, exactly as it should be. She also enjoyed being on top of him, and wondered if they would stay like that or switch up, take a traditional position. Whatever way it went, she would be content. Alicia gasped as Bryce's lips found her breasts, and at the same time she started to grind against him.

----

Had this just been a hug and Anna hadn't been fueled before this little encounter at all, she likely would have been feeling better - but with everything else and the fact that she'd been feeling like she didn't matter even before this there was little rationality to any of it. She was the jealous type though, and she didn't need much for it to fuel her. Nick pulled away from the hug and that was almost enough to make her feel a touch better, but it seemed that no one here was giving a fuck about her (what a twisted way to see this situation) and she just felt... Done.

The terrible part? She'd known that Luci was going to want to on a run before this even happened. Just watching him seem to be happy with someone who wasn't her had made her decide that wasn't okay in her books - but he would anyways likely, because he was a good person, better than she had ever been. "Go for it," she mouthed before turning on her heels and starting to walk away.
 
The teasing lasted for a few minutes, composed of Bryce’s lips trailing along Alicia’s breasts. Every inch was kissed, with a focus on her nipples. Roaming hands slid all over the brunette’s back, butt, and thigh. The grinding was met as well, the head of the erection rubbing against those swollen, wet lips. Deciding that there was enough teasing, Bryce pushed his wife down onto the bed, climbing on top of her. This time, when he pushed her down, there was nothing inherently dominant or controlling about the action. Instead, it was playful, slow, and gentle. Every limb remained free, her lips remained free as well.

Before entering the woman, Bryce’s lips kissed the skin of her collarbone, neck, and both shoulders. One hand finally reached down to wrap around the base of his own girth, guiding the tip towards her entrance. Letting Alicia know that he was about to begin, Bryce winked at his wife charmingly before slowly pushing himself down, sliding every inch of his cock inside of Alicia’s vagina. A quiet, but drawn out groan escaped Bryce’s lips when he entered inside of her, pushing forward until his pelvis met against hers. Instead of a thrusting motion, Bryce started with a grinding, rotating motion, focusing the pressure on all the right points inside of Alicia’s walls.

--

Thankfully, lip reading was a skill that the young male possessed. Go for it? Since when did he need her permission? Why did she act so pissy? Nick was absolutely perturbed right now. “Of course. Give me about ten minutes and I’ll meet you at the front gates.” What kind of guest would he have been to turn Luciana away? She was the main reason he was healing. Without Luciana, Nick and Anna would have never made it to Colonia. They sure as hell did not have the proper medical equipment on them, outside of this community. Things could have been hellacious right now.

Even though Nick only needed to grab his bag, ten minutes to at least see where Anna’s head was felt important. It was silly, though. For what logical reason did he feel the need to do this? Picking up a jog, he eventually caught Anna before she managed to escape his sight. If she eluded him, there was no telling where she would have stomped away to. “Hey… can you please hold up? What’s wrong, Anna? Are you that upset you’re not allowed on runs? What could I have possibly just done wrong?” If they were in a relationship, Nick would have known exactly why she felt this way. They were not, so thinking from a relationship vantage was not even a thought in the forefront of his mind. “Why are you so upset?”
 
By the time that Bryce was done kissing, touching and fondling Alicia was well worked up - and the joy of being female was that she never lost the high from their first round. Her sensitivity hadn't diminished to any degree, and she swore that she could have came just from the way their bodies grinded against each other - no penetration even needed. That left her slippery by the time that Bryce urged their bodies in to a different position, and as his body climbed on top of her Alicia gave him a sweet, serene smile. "I love you so much," she whispered as she caressed the side of his face, fingers dancing along his hair line. It was a soft and honest confession of her feelings - and though it was something she had said a million times before by now, she would never be able to say it enough.

As Bryce pushed his cock deep in to her, Alicia gasped. She grasped at his shoulder blades and hooked her legs around his hips, opening her body to him while clinging close - but she would never be close enough. The gyrating motion that Bryce chose was electrifying - each subtle motion stimulated her in ways she couldn't have expected. "God," she gasped as she clung to him, fingers pressing in to the flesh over his shoulder blades. Alicia then slowly rocked her hips in return, adding an additional element to their bodies' joining.

----

Hearing Nick's voice, frankly, just made Anna wanted to speed up. If he wanted to go out on this run then he should have done it without following after her - she'd walked away to avoid ending up getting outwardly angry and upset. Obviously she didn't want to deal with what was going on, couldn't she just be left alone this once? (Though, really, if he had left her alone it likely would have only fueled her further.)

"It's good. You're good. Go." That... was blatant bullshitting but really who was she to say otherwise? That he wasn't allowed to go because she was feeling slighted over attention he didn't even know she wanted? That it pissed her off seeing him look happy with someone who wasn't her, and he let that person touch him? Now wanted to go run off with that very same person? She knew damn well she had no right to him, but at the same time she had thought that it was pretty clear, titles or no, that he was where her interests laid and had hoped he would see things the same way. People weren't mind readers, though - she couldn't really expect him to know what she was thinking unless she actually told him, and Anna had a habit of never telling anyone anything. "It's fine. I'll just stick around here and hope that you don't become the next Pablo. Have fun, may-"

She cut herself off before she started to go off on what would very well be a "jealous bitch" rant. "Go, do your thing. Get out of my face. I'll see you later."
 
Instead of using rough sex to show his affection, Bryce toned everything down. Even though the temptation to pick up the pace felt appealing and natural, he remained slow, gentle, and soft. Not for a second did his mouth leave Alicia’s. His tongue would find a way into Alicia’s mouth, between her lips, dancing with her tongue as they made love. Bryce intended on having the longest consecutive kiss between the pair, no intentions of pulling away. Even when his lungs burned and yearned for air, for a deep breath, Bryce continued to kiss the brunette with all the fire and passion he had. Yet, the kiss remained slow as well, his tongue not forcefully moving hers around or even moving all that much. Fidgety with hand placement, Bryce soon found one grabbing the girl by the back of her neck, pulling her face towards his.

Then, the other hand simply tangled in her long, voluminous hair as the actions continued. When she started to roll her own hips against his own, the reaction was strong. It made the feelings intensify even more, something he was having quite a fun time with. She was the perfect wife, the perfect human. It still surprised him that he was lucky enough to have her in his life, much less as his spouse now. The man’s balls started tingling, an electric pulse forming, almost ready to shoot to the base, meaning his second orgasm was impending, getting close to pushing him over the edge.

--

Stunned. Utterly stunned – that was how Nick felt right now. Anna was pissed the hell off, but he did not have any idea why she was upset. Hell, it was not like he always understood why she got upset, even when they were together, but even then he could realize, in a roundabout way, why something unsettled her. Now? It was the biggest mystery of the decade. “I don’t know what your problem is right now. You have some shit to work out, Anna.” It was unlike Nick to get worked up, but he was just so frustrated with how Anna acted around him at times, that he could not help but have a small outburst. Whether she responded or not, Nick turned away from her to start on the trip.

On the run, Nick was able to get Anna out of his mind for the time being. Surprisingly, spending time with Luciana was flattering. Unlike when he spent time with Anna, there was no shouting or arguing – only jokes and laughter, Nick’s way of keeping Luci upbeat since she lost her boyfriend. During the drug trade with the cut oxy, he found out that Luci’s brother was Pablo, not her boyfriend. She didn’t even have one which lead her into asking if Anna was his girlfriend.

She noticed the way they act together, but Nick assured her that there were no titles between them. Well, there were not, so he had no reason to say anything else. They even shared a tender moment where she broke down in tears again over her brother, having another hug with Nick. When they got back that night, she saw her time with Nick as an invitation of sorts. He was a nice guy, he did not have a girlfriend, and he was there for her, also making her laugh and smile, which she could see as flirting, but they did part for the time being when they returned.
 
Alicia was enamored by everything about the moment. They kissed with more passion than ever before and she swore this was the most intimate they had been with each other - their wedding night had so farbeen absolutely perfect. Her desire grew rapidly, a tightening deep inside of her, and throughout the passion her moans grew louder and more pleasure-fueled. She mewled her lover's name as she clung to him, nails gently scraping along her back.

"Oh, Bryce-" she gasped as she felt her legs start to shake. "I'm so close, baby. God, you're so good at this. I love you so much, Bryce. Fuck-" she was cut off with a loud moan as she hit the edge once again, possibly the most mindblowing orgasm that she ever had.

----

Anna felt outright miserable, there was no better way to describe it - as if she didn't already know she was being dumb.
That was why she was telling him to go and do his thing. Maybe she didn't do it right, maybe she was angrier than he thought that she should be (more than fair), but she could have gone off on him. Instead... Well, she was left knowing he was pissed off at her.

Fucking hell... That did not help at all. Her time after he left was spent trying to calm down, maybe she could be in a better place when he came back, but... That didn't go as she had planned. Instead she just ended up feeling worse, because there were a million reasons Luciana was better than her. Nick would be right to want to spend time with her instead of Anna. Eventually she was left just on the verge of panic because losing him sounded terrible.

Strangely enough, it was Alejandro who found her and eventually managed to calm her down. Apparantly Nick literally was just blind to everything, and didn't even think twice earlier when Alejandro brought up Luci's interest... Turned out he had even appreciated the help around the place enough that he wanted to give Nick and her (because she had been helping around here and there as well) somewhere to stay... He'd even called her his girlfriend earlier which came as a surprise.

Maybe she was wrong to be upset - and though she was going to make a point to apologize after Nick came back she was still going to take a bit more time to herself to make sure she could do it right.
 
Hearing Alicia practically serenading him with compliments about how good he was in the bedroom had Bryce feeling incredibly happy. The words had him working harder, ensuring that the most sensitive spot inside Alicia’s vagina was continually massaged by the tip of his cock after each rotation of his hip. When she reached her edge again, he could feel her slick juices releasing around his cock. Since they were going slower, without any kink, it meant Bryce could last longer – hopefully, giving Alicia yet another orgasm. That was his intention. He wanted Alicia to just simply pass out after they had finished their night together. He wanted it to be tough for her to walk tomorrow. It felt like he was getting close, but Bryce knew he was not quite there yet during her first release in this session.

The kiss continued, not breaking it to respond to her words. Instead, Bryce’s actions continued showing Alicia how he felt about her. His fingers continued working her clit while the other hand continued playing with her tits. His tongue was still dancing with her tongue, letting her have the upper hand every once in a while. The pace on her clit was steady as his cock was starting to throb now, feeling like he was about to burst over the edge as he felt that tingling sensation all over his body. “I’m so close, Princess… I want you to cum again, I want you to do it with me this time.” He breathed out, hoping it could be timed somewhat accurately, finding the idea quite alluring and romantic at the same time.

--

Upon returning to Colonia, Nick was met by Alejandro right before he entered the infirmary. The older man explained that himself and Anna were gifted their own, private trailer. It was a gift for helping out around the community. Nick also wondered if it was a gift so they would have somewhere private to screw and not make a ton of noise. Either way, Nick was happy about the arrangement, humbly accepting the gift and thanking Alejandro. Nick learned that Anna knew about this already, that she was already getting set up inside earlier.

With that in mind, Nick walked to that private trailer they were given. It made him wonder what would happen next. They both had time to calm down, which was good, but Nick did not even know what to expect from the girl right now. What did he say? What would she say? It was too much to deal with right now as Nick was tired and did not want to argue. Yet, he had a feeling one was going to happen. Upon reaching the trailer he realized that she was not there right now, meaning he was alone. Nick did not bother looking for her, though.

Instead, he just plopped down and tried to teach himself a bit of Spanish so he was not as useless around here as he was without knowing much of the language. Luciana stopped by some time later, Nick was not sure how long it had been as he lost time while studying the language. They talked a bit about family, relating together about losing a loved one as Nick had lost his father. Then, before Nick even knew what happened, Luciana leaned forward to press their lips together, right at the worst time possible
 
Bryce was a godsend. Alicia could come powerfully and overwhelmingly and even then he wouldn't stop, he'd work for another. Alicia felt completely over the moon as that first orgasm wracked her body, left her limbs tingling as waves of pleasure shot through her body, and even as it seceded she never truly stopped feeling it. She was left sensitive and whimpering, teetering close to the edge right from the start. Bryce's request would, innuendo intended, come easily. Alicia didn't need much of a reason to crave release, and knowing that Bryce too as approaching his peak came as motivation.

He was perfect - and so was everything about him: the way he kissed her, touched her, fucked her, listened to her. Alicia was weak to his every whim, whether they were being kinky or not. Her soft nature and eager need to please didn't fade simply because they were soft with each other rather than rougher and tied up.

"Then make me," she gasped as the clitoral stimulation suddenly made her gasp - something about the way he moved had grabbed her body's attention and that was so, so good. Every inch of her started to tingle as she moaned and there was no denying it - she was already liking this "multiple orgasms" thing. She'd heard it could be pretty amazing but so far it had been a one-orgasm-per-round thing (which wasn't bad at all, but damn. "Baby, I think I'm gonna-" she gasped, teetering so far on to the edge that she was struggling to hold back enough to wait for him. Just as Bryce wanted, she too wished for them to peak simultaneous - but damn was it hard to hold back until she knew that he was ready.

----

She knew he was there, yet she stayed out of sight. It wasn't that Anna didn't want to be around her second favourite person (because Molly would always come first), but she had a feeling that they would be in for an argument and hell, by the time that Nick had come back from his trip she barely even cared any more. Her moods went as fast as they came, though she had been lucky enough to have a hand (and a couple more joints, thanks to her new buddy) to help her out. Now? Well... she just wanted to know that whatever they were doing could survive her outburst. She'd had an extra one of those joints perched between her fingers, a signal of surrender and hopefully animosity that she planned to offer Nick - especially given the fact that earlier in the day Anna had said that she would try to get her hands on some for him as well.

She didn't knock on the trailer's door before entering, figuring it was her own space and her shit was already in it, so that was okay. As soon as she had pushed the door open she was speaking, not looking up until after she started to kick her boots off. "Hey look babe, I'm sor- oh." The sight that awaited her was unpleasant - Nick's lips locked with Luci's. Anna's face twisted, heart raced, eyes struggled to keep up with the stream of emotion as she realized what was going on. As she froze on the spot she swore that she was going to puke, but before her gaze went hard again her expression read as hurt. She'd been noticed by now, but not soon enough to undo what she had just seen. Apparantly, she had been right to be upset.

"Wow, okay." There was none of her anger, that sharp tongue of hers that lashed out. This was... confusion and devestation and heartbreak. There was no good reaction to this and throughout the few next few seconds Anna looked everywhere but at Nick. As she masked her hurt and confusion, she looked towards Luci before walking away. She was, outwardly, too calm - which perhaps was a worse sign than when she was acting out. "Shit, girl, don't feel too special right now - he's been sticking it to me since long before we got here."

"... I thought you said she wasn't your girlfriend," Luciana said with a slight glare in her eyes as the door to the trailer closed behind Anna, distressed to find out that she had gotten, at best, a half-truth.
 
When Alicia told Bryce to make her orgasm with him, a sly grin spread across Bryce’s lips. Oh – that was a challenge he was certainly eager to complete for the brunette. It seemed that his wife could not even complete an entire sentence before being forced to cut herself off. The orgasm was quickly building for Alicia, as it was building for Bryce. It was one of the first times he managed to work out multiple orgasms for the brunette. It was clear to him, that he did not need to even try as hard as most guys would to bring their partner over a second time. That thought made Bryce jubilant, looking forward to having this happen in the future, instead of isolating it as a once-in-a-while thing. Bryce was sure he could control himself enough, to hold out longer, to wait for Alicia.

Just as she was on the edge, Bryce reached it as well. “Then do it. I’m right there with you, Princess.” Bryce breathed out, only pulling back from her lips, long enough to whisper those words to her. After he told her this, he felt the electric pulse jump from his balls to the base of his cock, running up towards the tip of his cock. There, it paused and flexed, his muscles clenching as he felt her muscles doing the same around his cock, squeezing him firmly. “Oh, Alicia!” Moaning out her name was followed by his orgasm, his semen spurting from the tip.

The seed filled Alicia’s tight pussy, the thick ropes filling her entirely. Bryce did not stop moaning until the last drop was emptied inside of her. Feeling so spent, he collapsed on top of his wife, but did not have the energy to remove himself from her vagina, letting his flaccid cock remain inside of her. “I love you. That was fucking intense. Oh, fuck…” Bryce breathed out, unable to gather himself after that powerful orgasm, still peppering soft kisses along Alicia’s neck. His hands were looking to hold hers, clutching them against his chest while he tried to calm down.

--

Wow. In all their time together, Nick had never seen Anna look this way. His jaw dropped when the kiss ended, after realizing that Anna just stormed out. What the fuck was she upset about? It was not like she was his girlfriend. Honestly, Nick did not even care that much for Luciana, in that relationship-type way. Even so, why was it any of Anna’s business? Why did she have the right to get upset? Nick almost laughed when Luciana made her next comment. What could he possibly say here?

“See, that’s the thing – she is not my girlfriend. She used to be, but we just had something casual for a while now. Long story short, I don’t know why she’s so upset. Look, you’re a good person, Luci. I’m glad you took us in, but I think you should probably leave for now.” It was Nick’s way of telling her that he did not like her in that way, he did not want something with Luciana right now. Quickly, Nick bolted out of the trailer in a speed walk, walking however long it took to find Anna. When he did find her, he just stuck his hands in his pockets, slowly approaching her.

What could he say? There was not much of anything, so his shoe just dragged in the rocks. Why the fuck did he feel bad though? He did not understand it. They were not in a relationship, but he had been acting like they had. In his defense, he pulled away from the kiss as soon as he realized that was what Luciana had been doing. The timing was just impeccable. “Anna… it isn’t what you think it is. She just kissed me, I didn’t even want to. I was pulling away the second I realized what she was doing.” It was the truth, but Nick should not have needed to explain himself to her, he knew that.
 
Alicia's body writhed beneath her huaband as she rode out her orgasm, clinging to him all the while. Nothing in the young woman's life had ever felt as erotic as the moment in which they came together on their wedding night, lost in the throes of passion and each other's bliss. Together they cried out and moaned, too lost in each other to have even a care in the world about the noise level. He filled her and then collapsed, spent, on her chest and Alicia was in no better of a way - she was sweaty and panting, all of her energy drained by their encounter.

"I love you too." He wanted her hands on his chest, but in that moment Alicia wanted to be touching his face. Even if she had to goad him in to moving first, the brunette laid a soft but passionate kiss to her lover's lips - and then a second and a third. Only then did her hands find Bryce's for that hold he wanted, and she laughed as she buried her head in the crook of his neck, a sound of nothing but happiness. This was her reality - he was. It seemed so impossible and yet here it was, so very real.

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you," Alicia said with a soft sigh as she gazed affectionately to him. Slowly, her heart rate was returning to normal and an even pace of breathing was coming back.

----

Really? He had no idea why she was upset? Anna would have called him dense if he dared to say that out loud. It didn't take a genius to know that "casual" was how she did things and hell - she had to have said a few times by now that he was what she wanted. Title or no she was very attached to whatever it was they were doing and to act like she shouldn't care at all would have earned Nick a slap across the face if she had been left feeling any other way.

The problem with her was that when she felt bad, it was overwhelmingly so. She went from rather cheery, relaxed after the last meltdown with plans on wooing Nick in to forgiving her with dope and doe eyes, to... Hell, she couldn't even explain it. All she knew was that she had actually let herself get talked down from thinking Luci would be a problem and god was she an idiot. She was also having a hard time remembering that Nick had barely ever dealt with her emotional outbursts - because Anna had always had Molly to work her through them. Anger sure, she had never been able to hold that back, but everything else was new territory.

Anna heard Nick before she saw him, but by the time that footsteps pattered nearby she felt barely there - floating. "So much for I wanna make this work, huh? Guess I'm a bigger idiot than I thought I was. Could have at least stopped fucking me first." She spoke even before he could, too out of it to even sound like she really cared, but what Nick had to say riled her in a different way. It wasn't what it looked like - really? "Yeah right, like I'm supposed to believe that. You two have been all buddy-buddy all day - and you sure as hell don't listen to me when I try to say that."
 
Finally, Bryce collapsed down beside Alicia, removing himself from inside of the woman’s vagina. Beside her, the young man tightly wrapped his arms around the brunette, pulling her against his chest. “I love you so much, Princess. This has been a perfect night.” Hopefully, she felt the same way. All of a sudden, a wave of fatigue hit him, realizing that it was probably time to get some sleep. Even though they were both nude, Bryce did not exactly want to get dressed, so he hoped that it was something that she did not mind – staying nude for the evening.

“We should just fall asleep like this. I don’t know what we’ll have to do tomorrow, but for tonight, we can just relax and be with each other.” He whispered softly, now trailing kisses along her neck. “My beautiful wife… God, that’s so fun calling you that. Thank you for making me the happiest man in the entire world. My life is complete with you in it.” He whispered quietly, nuzzling their noses together again, keeping their eyes locked together as he sighed in a happy way, ready to get some rest and face whatever battles they had to deal with tomorrow.


--

Was she serious right now? Nick wanted to scoff, but he held his tongue. Well, she did make a good point about her using that line never working against him, so that one had to be thrown out. He hated it though – it had to be all about her. She couldn’t just take a second to listen to him – must have been how she felt when she was trying to explain herself to him back a few years ago. “Buddy-buddy? Are you kidding me? Her brother died, Anna. I’m not going to act like a dick to her. Plus, she was the person that brought us in here. Of course, I’m going to act nice to her.”

Wasn’t that obvious? “Anna, what are you so upset for? Just like you said – no titles, just casual. That’s what YOU said you wanted right now, so that’s what I did. For the record, I don’t even care about Luciana like that. But if I did, how does that affect you? You clearly don’t care about me enough to want to have that title. I’ve told you all along that we were going at your pace, and that’s what we’ve been doing. You’re acting like we’ve agreed to have a relationship again. How can you possibly act that way but not say that’s what you want? How the fuck am I supposed to know how to carry myself if you won’t commit to this relationship, but you think I’m supposed act like you are committed to me. I don’t get it, Anna. Help me understand. Please.”
 
After a long nice spent in the throes of passion with the love of her life, Alicia both dreaded and welcomed the end. Though she wished that she could touch him forever, the thought of being able to curl up with him as her husband for the first time was an absolutely magical idea. She hummed as Bryce's body wrapped around hers and he pulled her head against his chest - the perfect spot both to sleep and rest with the soothing sounds of his heart beating so close to her. "It's been absolutely perfect," Alicia agreed with a soft sigh as she cuddled in closer, resting her leg around his hips - getting dressed wasn't even a thought in her mind. He suggested that they fell asleep like they were, and Alicia genuinely giggled - there was some part of him that had thought she would want to get dressed if he had to make that suggestion.

"You know what's even funner to say?" She asked in that same serene, blissful tone as she angled her head to be able to properly look the love of her life in the eyes. If it had been possible, she would have never looked away. "You're my husband," she then tacked on, answering her own question with a smile. "Nothing's ever felt more natural to me than being married to you, Bryce. Thank you so much for being in my life - I can't imagine how I would have got through this world without you by my side." After that she let out a yawn and snuggled even closer. Absentmindedly, her fingers started to trace lightly over Bryce's ribs, and as he nuzzled their noses together she leaned in for a kiss. "Good night, my prince - thank you for the best day of my life."

----

"What's there to even understand at this point?" As Anna sat beneath a tree with a spaced-out gaze and expressionless face, she shook her head. Normally she would be the one asking questions and seeming upset while Nick seemed stoic, but it seemed like today was her time to seem cold - the shock of what happened had faded in to numbness and there was little emotion to be read in either her tone or her face. Despite that, she had come to her own conclusions - said conclusions were that Nick couldn't care less. "We have talked about this Nick. All in, trying to make it work - god forbid I want us to actually properly get along. I've said that already. Not surprised that it's just another thing I've said to go in one ear and out the other. And... I mean, if you can't understand why I would be upset about you kissing someone else, then what the fuck are we even trying to do? I'd thought we were on the same page but now you're acting like I'm wrong to care. I know it's sometimes surprising, but I do have actual feelings - I just don't like them. For what it's worth, though, I'd been coming back to the trailer to tell you that I couldn't keep doing it my way."

"Look, if this is going to turn in to another episode of why is Anna so fucking nuts, then just go away please. I don't need a doctor to tell me there's something wrong with me, and I sure as hell don't need it from you either. I'm sorry that Molly isn't around to deal with the brunt of it this time, but there's not much I can do about that. All the more reason to go stick your dick in Luci, she won't drive you mad." It was no surprise that Nick wasn't the only one with a habit of not properly listening to people, but her last remark was more a jealous jibe than than anything. The first part? Just the way he spoke to her reminded her of the way people had talked down to her in the past. Nick himself wasn't a common feature, so the implication wasn't that it was something he had done to her over and over again (though his "you have some shit to work out" remark from earlier was definitely still playing in her brain). "I don't want to be here any more, so uh... yeah." At that point she finally looked towards him, blank expression still on her face as she nodded. "Don't worry about having to deal with my shit for much longer, the border's not that far off. I can do it myself."
 
Damn. There was something adorable about looking at the brunette yawning, curled up into his side. A smile stretched out on Bryce’s face when she leaned in for the kiss, returning it with passion and love. “Good night, Princess. I love you.” Since Bryce’s desire for Alicia was insatiable, he needed to steal one more kiss from her lips before deciding it was enough. After the kiss was stolen, another smile flashed along his lips. The last thing he saw that night was Alicia’s face, her bright, green eyes, her full lips, and that beautiful smile. Every inch of his body was touching an area of Alicia’s body in some form, which made the position even more comfortable than before. It did not take long for Bryce to get situated for sleep. Resting his forehead lightly against Alicia’s, the smile continued tugging at his lips, his breathing evening out as he drifted to sleep.

The night of sleep was incredibly peaceful. Bryce only awoke the next morning when the sun was peeking into their shared hotel room. He could not help himself, admiring Alicia’s sleeping, naked form for a couple moments. The next part was tricky. Bryce had the urge to bring her breakfast in bed, to begin their day loving and gentle, just like it had ended. It was tricky, maneuvering himself out of bed without waking Alicia, but he did it, quickly pulling on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, disappearing from the room, into the kitchen. Within the next half-hour, he returned to the bedroom with a plate of food for them each, consisting of bacon, eggs, and toast. Setting the plates down, Bryce crawled back onto the bed gently, wanting to wake his wife with a kiss, so he did, leaning down and placing kisses along her neck until she started moving around.

--

To Nick, there was much to understand. It seemed like Anna expected him to have all the answers already, but that was not even close to being true. Hell, Nick barely knew the questions. On one hand, he could count all the times he had seen Anna look like this. It was not a pretty sight. With her acting so differently, the male worried about what might happen next. What was the worst that could happen? It was not like she could break up with him, since they were not dating. Even then, Nick still felt like something terrible might happen because he upset his ex-girlfriend. How fucked was that? As always, it seemed like Anna thought she had the situation all figured out. Even though Nick wanted to get pissed with her and shout at her for being so naïve, he refused. There was not a time for him to get that deep into his emotions right now. Hopefully, a lighter touch would help his case.

“I don’t think that’s fair of you to say that it just went in one ear and out the other. We were doing great. I’m sorry that I can’t control how Luciana acted. I’m sorry that I didn’t tell her to fuck off, since that seems like what you wanted me to do from the second she asked me to go on that run with her. I didn’t know, Anna. It might surprise you, but I actually can’t read other people’s mind, including yours. I never said that you were wrong to care. Don’t put words in my mouth. I don’t even understand how you could think of something like that. I’m just surprised that you are upset about that. Yes, we did talk about making ‘this’ work, but you won’t tell me what ‘this’ means to you, so how am I supposed to know? I thought I was doing my damn best to appease you, keeping it casual like you wanted, so I didn’t push you until you felt like you were ready. I didn’t say you were fucking nuts, either. Look, if I had known you were coming to the trailer to tell me that, if I had known that Luci apparently liked me, if I had known that Luciana intended on kissing me, I wouldn’t have let her get anywhere near me, but I can’t. I don’t want you to leave. I want you to stay. I want this to work out, but you have to understand that I haven’t known how to act since you wanted to keep it casual. If you leave, you’re leaving because I can’t read minds, in essence. Look, I’m sorry that I couldn’t just know it, okay? What can I do to convince you to stay, Anna? Help me understand it – please.
 
Alicia had possibly one of the best sleeps of her life curled up with her husband. The patter of his heart beneath her ear was a soothing sound that lulled her in to slumber easily, and covered in the warmth of his body she found peace in slumber. Though her night was dreamless, or at least as far as she could remember, by the time that she woke up she felt well rested and perfectly content. Being a bit of a heavy sleeper, she hadn't awoken until Bryce had returned back to the room. It was the gentle kisses that brought her back to life, a soft and gentle start to the day that matched the perfect ending to the night before. In those first first seconds of consciousness she groaned, though as she came to a little bit more and realized what was going on her full lips, still stained red from the previous night, curled in to a sweet smile.

Her green eyes barely peeked open at first, just enough that she could see her husband's handsome face through the veil of hazy sleep. "Hey handsome," she whispered in the low croak of someone who was not yet up and moving, and in a slow, lazy motion she raised her hand towards his head and curled her fingers within his hair. After a few gentle strokes among the locks she urged him to bring his lips back to her own. After stealing a first kiss of the day, she bumped her nose against Bryce's in that affectionate manner that they always did. It was at that point she realized he was clothed, and a half-second later that the appetizing aroma of bacon and eggs, possibly her favourite combination, finally hit her. Her free hand raised to her face to wipe the sleep from her eyes, and that smile of hers only grew wider.

"Did you make us breakfast? You're my hero, babe." Was she surprised to wake up to breakfast in bed? Not at all. Did she appreciate it anyways? Absolutely.

----

Things had been good - that first night on the move after the estate had burned down was a little rocky, but after that they had overall gotten along and been there for each other. Really, how often had she even left his side since? To avoid the pharmacy, because she knew her own inclinations and that she would likely try to nab some of that oxy if she stuck around? And then because Luci asked him to out out of the walls with her? They had been getting along - for the first time in ages she had felt like she was actually capable of smiling, and Nick had a lot to do with why she felt that way. Anna genuinely had been coming around to the idea that they could work out and had been getting more comfortable with trying to be affectionate again.

Jealousy had been a bitch though, and it had struck hard. Because no matter how good things seemed or how long they did, Anna was still angry and bitter and reactive and he had looked genuinely happy with someone who could be so much better for him. Nick fit in here, got along with the people - yeah she did her part, but unlike him she couldn't weave herself naturally in to situations. "You told Alejandro that I was your girlfriend, earlier. After uh, our little break there. So yeah, I... I thought I had a good enough reason to think you'd get it 'cause that didn't leave much wiggle room. Was it just... easier or something? Yeah I'm fucking her brains out was too explicit to say to him? That was the only fucking thing that got me to calm down after you left, but... it was bullshit."

Her tongue dashed between her pursed lips, wetting dried skin before her teeth found the same spot and she just looked at Nick for a moment. The numbness was fading and being replaced with a heaviness in her chest and a desperate urge to just be allowed to cling and cry. Anna had to fight it and she fought hard - Nick had seen enough of her vulnerabilities for one day, and it was in moments like this where Anna very desperately needed her best friend back. She prayed that he wouldn't catch the change in her eyes as she fought back her own emotions, and as she felt her hands start to subtly tremble she reached an arm out to him, a silent request for him to come down to the ground with her. "Just... Be with me. If that's what you want."
 
Watching Alicia wake up was something Bryce never took for granted. Honestly, he loved waking up before she did, because it meant he was given the opportunity to watch this every morning. There was something perfect about it – just watching those green eyes flutter open, watching her stretch out her limbs. The little things about Alicia made Bryce fall deeper for her each day. This was no different. After she greeted him with a kiss, a light chuckle left his lips. “Good morning, Princess.” He returned the greeting, using that nickname he loved so much.

“Yeah, you caught me. That’s exactly what I did. I know it might not be the dining you could have gotten at this hotel before everything fell, but I hope it will do.” Bryce did at least know how to make simple things in the kitchen, so these simple breakfast items were not something he was likely to screw up. Plus, he had always known how much Alicia liked bacon and eggs. There was no mistake that he attempted to perfect those two simple breakfast foods. Waiting for her to sit up, he could not resist holding a piece of bacon to her lips, to feed her.

“I don’t think we’ll have as much free time today as we did yesterday, but I know there’s nothing for us to do in the beginning. Do you remember how I always talked about giving you some surfing lessons? If you want, I remember I Found a surfboard out in the hotel the other day? If you’re still down for it, maybe we could take that out to the beach and I can teach you a bit?” Bryce suggested with a smile, even though surfing was quite impractical now. Why not? They were on the beach, they were now married, and having a little slice of times before now was never a bad thing, right? It was something to keep their minds occupied, something fun to do together. Bryce saw no harm in it. “One rule, though, you’ll have to wear a bikini if we find one.”

--

“No, it wasn’t bullshit, Anna. I’m just so fucking used to telling people that you’re my girlfriend and looking at you like my girlfriend and we were acting like we used to be when we were together, it just happened.” Plus, it was a bit of his unconscious desire and hope that Anna would want to be his girlfriend again, but damn, apparently she had been talking to Alejandro. Maybe the man had told her there was nothing to worry about with Luciana and Nick. It might not seem that way right now, but that was actually true. Anna need not worry about Luci in the long run. Unfortunately for Anna, he did see the change in her eyes. However, that was a good thing. He could tell that she was more hurt than anything, that he needed to do something drastic here if he was going to help her. That was doable, though. Sighing quietly, Nick took her arm, letting himself drop down onto the ground beside her, staying silent for a second after she told him what she needed in order to stay here. Simple enough, right? Nick just need to make sure his words did not fuck everything up again.

There was a much different tone to Nick now, though. “Look, I’m sorry, Anna. I fucked up. I just didn’t know where your head was at. I should have been more careful around Luciana. You telling me this, now, though? I want the same thing. I want you. I want to be yours, too. I don’t want you to leave. I don’t ever want that. Anna, honestly, ever since the day that I walked out on you, I haven’t stopped thinking about you. I know that’s a pitiful reason, considering I was the one that ended it, but it is true. I see us getting a second chance and I don’t want to mess it up. I promise, you won’t have to worry about her or anyone else ever again. I want to be committed to you, and only you – if you let me, but I need to hear you say it, Anna. I don’t want to just be running around here, relying on interpretation. I know words aren’t your thing, but please, I need to hear exactly what you want right now.” It was a fair trade, right? They played her game for quite some time now. It was time to return the favor.
 
Damn, this boy was perfect. Alicia was all smiles as Bryce perched on the bed, and those beautiful lips of hers released a giggle the first time he held a bite of food to them. Of course he was going to try to hand feed her - and it was so perfectly adorable that Alicia couldn't help but give in. Everything about him just entranced her, left her feeling enchanted to have ever even known his name. How in the world had she come to deserve such a man? "You're too awesome," she gushed between bites, stealing a kiss to his cheek right after. For a little while they were simply able to be and it was perfect. Bryce was right, though - they likely wouldn't have as much free time today. However, making the most of a lazy morning sounded perfect to Alicia.

"I love that idea, my prince. I haven't tried to surf since I was like... twelve? I could use a teacher like you," she said with a smile, practically glowing. She definitely did remember them talking about surfing lessons in the past, though. Who lived in Los Angeles and couldn't even use a surf board, right? Nick had tried to teach her when she was younger but that had been... well, interesting. It had ended up with Alicia having an ass full of sand because she couldn't even balance while on the shore and Nick laughing his ass off. Bryce would be a much more doting teacher, she imagined. On top of that, everyone was older than twelve this time so it likely stood a better chance in general. "You know - I think I found a bikini in my size while we were checking things out the other day, actually. I'll check my bag once I get up... though if you keep giving me so much love I might never want to leave the bed again."

There was definitely an innuendo to her phrasing, but the remark was at least partially innocent. She was still naked from the night before and found it a shame that Bryce had dared to get dressed - though breakfast was absolutely delicious. If she had it her way she would have woken up to him, still in his embrace with his body bared and pressed to hers. Really, though, she thought that every day should start in that manner.

----

Despite the fact that he came to sit beside her, Anna still didn't really look Nick in the face. She heard him, yes, but that didn't have the calming effect it that he probably wanted it to have. With her lips pursed, almost trembling, she manipulated his body to spread his legs apart just enough for her to fit between - if he put up any resistance then she fought it, because he couldn't tell her to say what she wanted and then be upset when she did make it clear. She fit herself snug against his body and arched her neck back so that the base of her skull rested on his shoulder next to his own head, and then she angled her face sideways towards him. Quiet filled the air once again as she sighed, breathing him in with closed eyes as she blindly grabbed for his hands and wrapped him tight around her waist - any tighter and she probably would have suffocated herself. Out of everything, the touch was the most calming part.

"Can I just... say something first? Cause it's really gotta be said. Like, deal breaker if you won't listen to me gotta be said." Anna may have already pulled his arms around her own body, but she had kept her hands on his elbows - and her fingers dug in to him until her knuckles turned white. She was closed eyed and still so close, not daring to move or even breath. There was a slight shudder throughout her whole body. "I can't stand hearing you say that you never stopped thinking about me, when you never even took the time to answer... anything... after. Never even stopped to think there was something wrong, you - you really thought I'd do that to you. Nick, you walked out on me over an asshole who couldn't take no for an answer and took advantage of the fact that I was too high and too catatonic to make him stop. I lost you because I got raped - again... on the same day that I had to face the piece of shit that took my childhood away from me. You walked away and it completely ruined me."

Anna let out a gaspy sigh, trying about as hard as she could to keep herself reeled in. "I'm still trying to figure out how to trust you not to do that to me again, so I'm sorry that makes me have a hard time even considering begging you to dance off in to happily ever after. I want you - only you, and can that please be enough of a statement? You know what I'm asking of you. There were two moments you could have had it your way without even having to ask today, but right now is neither." Moment one being earlier in the day, had he remembered that she had asked for him to herself after he finished up in the pharmacy rather than getting involved with Luci and then heading off. Moment two would have been back at the trailer.... had he not got involved with Luci. As she said, neither moment was now and feeling like she had to do or say things a certain way just made her more reluctant to do so even if what was wanted from her was nothing but the truth.
 
Just because Bryce was dressed did not mean he could not undress again. In fact, it was his exact plan. After all, if the couple was going to be surfing, he should probably get dressed in those swimming shorts he had. It would require him getting nude to get changed, so he might as well have a little fun with it. Even while sharing breakfast with Alicia in bed, the most appetizing thing he saw was her, that perfect body of hers just laying in the open for him. The thought alone made Bryce eat his food just a bit quicker. The desire was all too real, just as it was in Alicia’s voice. Even if she was partially teasing, Bryce found no harm in beginning their day the same way they ended their night. Still, the dark-haired male managed to quell his animalistic desires until both plates were emptied. Taking the two empty dishes, Bryce stacked them together onto the nightstand beside the bed. Sure, they could get ready for the day now, but what fun was that? Without even speaking a word, he found himself climbing onto his wife. Just the action, hopefully, would speak louder than the words.

If she wanted to start the day differently, she could always stop him, but Bryce was committed to loving her body until she told him to stop, or until they were both finished. Before touching her, he leaned down to press a kiss to her full, soft lips, holding it for a few seconds, his hips grinding against hers. The idea was to get her worked up, teasing her with something he knew she would likely want. When Bryce pulled away, there was an evil grin on his face. “I’ll be right back, Princess. I should put these in the sink.”

It would only take him a few minutes, but those were a few minutes Alicia could spend in their bed, naked, waiting for him to return so they could have a little fun if she was up for it. After grabbing both dishes and silverware, along with the glasses, Bryce stood up from the bed and walked out of their room. The trip to the kitchen was short, quick, only taking him a few minutes to wash these dishes off as well. Within three or four minutes, Bryce was already crossing the threshold back into the hotel room where they were staying, going right for the bedroom area.

--

Welcoming the touch and change of positions, Nick listened to Anna, letting every word sink in. Again, she was pulling a special card that made him feel bad. Maybe it was unintentional, it sucked what happened to her, but Nick hated feeling like that he was the only one in the wrong here. Plus, she was acting like she had these special privileges with getting things her way, that he could only get his way under certain circumstances. In the big picture, neither were a big deal, it was just frustrating for Nick, but not enough for him to speak about it. The last thing he wanted was ruining the moment.

“You’re right. I did some fucked up shit, I’m sorry. I should have talked to you, let you talk to me, but I didn’t. I can’t change it, though I wish I could. The only thing I can do is change the future. As for what can make you certain that I don’t walk out again on you, I guess there’s not much I can say to you that will prove anything.” After all, so far, his words didn’t seemed like they meant shit.

“I guess I’m just asking you to have a little faith. I lost you once, because of my own doing, and now I have you back. I never want to feel the first way again. I never want to lose you again, I’ll do literally anything it takes to make sure I don’t lose you, as long as you will have me.” What she said about committing to him was contradictory. Was it actually that hard to say that she wanted to have a relationship with him? Apparently words were difficult to say for her, even though she already said that she wanted him, only him? It seemed like Anna was not giving him much here, but Nick figured he probably deserved that.

“From this moment forward, I promise to be better for you, I promise to be yours, to try this whole relationship thing again with you.” At least one of them should say it, he assumed. He knew Anna though. She had her own way of doing things. When she felt ready to say her commitment out loud, she would. There was no rushing it, Nick just needed to tone down his prissiness because he was not getting his way. “I’m so sorry that I ruined you. I know it can never be undone, but I sure as hell can try to make the future better. That’s all we have right now, anyways. I’m not going to blow this second chance. I promise.”
 
Alicia too couldn't wait for breakfast to be over so that she could jump her husband's bones once again - even clothed he was still the most delicious thing in that room. It seemed that they couldn't finish fast enough, and if Alicia had her way then she would have had her hands all over Bryce as soon as they finished up. He, however, seemed to want to be a tease - he kissed her softly, nothing compared to the way that she wanted to be touched, and she was left whimpering and whining as he got to his feet and then walked away with the plates. Those couldn't wait because...? As much as Alicia knew that Bryce was just trying to rile her up, it felt like a slight to her. How could he possibly walk away from her when she was looking so fantastic and eager and ready for him?

Alicia spent the next few minutes waiting desperately for Bryce to return. She quickly brushed her teeth, fading away any residual morning slash bacon breath and then made her way back to the bed, at which point she tried to strike a sexy pose in hopes of catching her husband's attention as soon as he returned. However, as she was experimenting with positions she caught sight of that bag of gear that Bryce had found, and immediately she had an idea - Alicia knew exactly how to lure her lover in. With a wicked grin on her lips she grabbed the handcuffs out of the bag and locked them around on of her wrists, wrapped the connecting chain around one of the bars in the bed's headboard and then secured the other wrist, effectively tying herself to the bed. While it wasn't the most intense thing ever, she had seen the way that Bryce responded to her restraining herself. Hopefully this would do exactly what she wanted it to.

----

Anna was not blind to the fact that their relationship had troubles, and that a lot of it was her own doing. She was aware that a lot of her own actions had built up over time and put a strain between them - to the point that even Molly had told Anna that she didn't deserve him. Not once did she deny this - but when it came to their break up, the actual moment it ended, all she was guilty of was trusting the wrong person to look after her. There was definitely a lot for him to be bothered by, but perhaps the borderline abuse at her hands would be a better target for his concerns. Nick would feel however he wanted though, and if he wanted to find a way to twist her assault in to some kind of attack on him and his feelings, he could do that. Anna would not stop him - what mattered was that unlike the last few times she had tried to speak her mind he didn't try to fight her on it.

He... wasn't even asking for a lot from her. He was holding on to her just like she wanted him to, and trying to make his emotions clear even though he could say a million things to her and none of it would ever matter more than his arms around her waist. Even if the words didn't matter much to her, talk was cheap and people could lie, they obviously did to him. She'd said it before, yeah - that she wanted to try to be better to him this time around? Back when they were still on the move and she was still struggling to get a word out without being shut down, and he'd implied that all she had to do to be better was not hop on other dicks again. Maybe, just maybe, this would be a good opportunity to actually put that idea in to action instead of being just as stubborn as he could be some times. Nick was giving and now it was her turn to.

"Look, I..." She sighed, rolled her head farther to the side so that her forehead rested on his neck. Anna still had his elbows held in a vice grip and her voice was still shaky but god did being held on to make it a little easier to just be right then. "There's nothing I would want more. Than being with you. Except... maybe a little better this time. Like the start, not the end."
 
Upon returning to the bedroom, seeing his wife handcuffed to the bed was low on the list of expectations. Despite the unexpected nature of the sight, it was quite desirable. Bryce stopped at the doorway, looking at the brunette with wide eyes. There was no accident that seeing Alicia using some self-bondage turned him on immensely the first time they experimented with it. The result was the same now. Without being touched, an erection started to grow. Suddenly, the clothing felt quite restraining. There was no mistake about what the brunette wanted. Luckily for her, she was only seconds away from getting it. Closing the door to the bedroom, Bryce approached the bottom of the bed. Standing at the edge, the t-shirt was slowly pulled up and over his torso, being dropped down onto the ground. His fingers hooked into the waistband of his shorts, quickly sliding them down as well.

Again, this was not an accident. Bryce was fully clothed when he first saw Alicia handcuffed to the bed. Within ten seconds after seeing her, he was almost nude. Give it another ten seconds, he would be there. Climbing onto the bed, approaching her, his hands worked on removing his boxers as well. Sitting upright on his knees in front of Alicia, the smile grew wider, letting his growing erection show for his wife.

“Damn. I didn’t expect to see you like this when I got back here, but I’m sure as hell not going to complain about it. I’m glad you took my advice and decided to do this more often for me. You won’t regret it.” After winking, Bryce crawled towards her, spreading out her legs on the mattress. Once he was straddling his wife’s hips, Bryce leaned down to cup her face with one hand, their lips touching in a gentle kiss. His other hand slowly slid upwards on her arms, finally reaching her cuffed hands to hold them for a moment. “Fuck, you look so hot in cuffs.” Bryce murmured against her lips, letting the tip of his cock brush against her clit. “You know exactly how to get me naked and worked up for you. I love it.” She sure as hell had paid attention to the things he said about what he liked during sex, so that made him love her even more. He was lucky to have a girl so willing to do these things for him.

--

“Then, you have me. It is that simple. It’ll be better this time. I know it.” Nick squeezed her tighter against his chest before repeating the phrase “You have me.” There was conviction and purpose in his voice, no mistaking it for any intentions other than wanting it to be the truth. “I’m so sorry, about everything. I’m going to protect you, I’m going to be better. I will never take anything we have for granted.” It was probably the best way to go about things right now. Nick assumed there were a few things that she needed to hear right now. One, she needed to hear him say that she had him, since she expressed that was really all she wanted right now. Then, he needed to say that he was sorry. An apology was appropriate, for everythinghe from walking out on her, to not letting her tell her side of the story.

Just saying sorry was not enough, of course. After saying that he was sorry, taking responsibility for his actions, it was imperative to find out how he could make things better, but he already knew the answer: just don’t be a dick, let her talk, validate her feelings and emotions. These were little things he used to be so damn good at, but something changed after that day. No more. Nick knew where he needed to improve, why he needed to improve. Words did not mean much right now, only actions did.

“Do you want to talk?” He whispered softly. “Or do you just want to be held?” He was putting the option out there, he was ready to listen. Now, if he could go back, he would kill that bastard she was forced to be with in bed that day. It made Nick feel sick, knowing that she had to go through that experience alone. He was not there to comfort her, to help her. He was here now, if she needed to talk. But, he assumed she would choose the latter. Either way, Nick was there, now pressing his forehead against the back of hers. “I’m here for you, now.”
 
Ah yes, she definitely had the intended affect on Bryce. She swore that she could see the lust cloud his eyes as soon as the bed came in to his sight, and her lips turned in to a wicked and very knowing grin. Obviously, she knew exactly what she had just done, and she was pretty proud of herself for doing it. Given that she was already naked, the only clothes that needed to be removed were Bryce's own and she swore she had never seen him strip as fast as she did just then. Within seconds he was bared for her again, giving her exactly what she craved, and as he spoke and spread her legs she grinned.

"What can I say, I know how to get a rise out of my husband," she teased as her tongue poked between her teeth. For a moment he was soft with her and she met his kiss with an eager need, never letting her gaze leave his body. As his cock slipped between her thighs and started to rub against her clit she gasped, sucking air in between closed teeth, and somehow that just made her more pleased with herself. "I love you, Bryce. I can't think of a better way to start the day than by making love to you. I do hope that you feel the same way, though judging by how hard you are right now, you definitely do."

----

The worst part about everything that happened was that she was left over it - Ronnie was rougher than her stepfather had ever been when she was younger, but even years after escaping, it.... had still felt like just another Tuesday when it happened. Of course that was what she got for trusting men instead of staying wary - what else could she have expected? There was a reason she kept on her toes after all, wielded sex on her own terms and rarely trusted a soul that approached her. To this day that still held true (and she liked to at least act like she was over everything). Nick, though... She got why he could have thought nothing was wrong - he'd been five minutes too late to see her still fighting that man's hands off of her. He didn't know better - but it still felt like a slap in the face to her.

"Can I just... finally have my moment, please? I've been trying to just have you to myself all day but everything else has been more important." No words, just being... here - or maybe back in that little bed in the trailer. They had a place to their own now so wouldn't being there be a lot better than sitting out here? They could cuddle up under candlelight, split a joint and just have some time to themselves without any worry about anything else. Well, she at least would worry but that was simply the kind of person she was and she had spent most of the day stressed out about one thing or another. Anna didn't much want to talk, especially not about the fact that yes, sometimes she did need someone to hold her. She let go of one of Nick's elbows to fish the joint and her lighter out of her pocket and then dangled it towards him. "Said I'd have some for you earlier. What say you to just going back and having some quiet time together?"
 
I love you, Alicia. I can’t think of a better way to begin my day, either. I’m sure you can already tell how much I enjoy it, though. You make me hard in record time, without even touching me. You must have some magical powers.” Chuckling, Bryce figured it was more or less magical. Alicia was gorgeous – combine that with the fact that Bryce was utterly and eternally in love with her, the recipe for heavy arousal around the brunette was high, as always. The teasing was not finished yet. Bryce was simply exploring something with the girl. He recalled how much she had enjoyed it when they rubbed their bodies together, even with underwear on. His hand wrapped around the base of his cock, continuing to press it against her clit and down towards her outer lips, rubbing repeatedly, gauging the woman’s reaction. Just as she had paid attention to what he enjoyed, Bryce did the same thing for her. There was a level of exploration, because as much as they have had sex, that did not change how relatively new their relationship was. There were still worlds to explore together in the bedroom. For that reason, he knew it would never get dull with her. How could it?

“Do you like this?” Bryce questioned, now allowing his length to trail against her entrance, down her slick folds. The free hand continued holding onto hers. Once she answered his question, Bryce found himself kissing his wife again, their lips pressed together with a firm touch, a little more aggressive than the first kiss they shared this morning. His tongue was tracing her upper and bottom lip, moving slowly over the skin. It felt like his cock was growing harder, though he was trying to pace himself for the morning.

--

“Yes. You can have your moment.” In reality, Nick did not know of many people or many things more important to him than Anna. If he voiced the gestures, it would have undoubtedly sounded like a broken record considering she told him that she hated when Nick talked about how it was impossible to stop thinking about her. The actions would just have to do him justice, so his voice died for the moment, his grip around her tightening. The next suggestion did make him smile, only responding with a quiet “Yes, I’d love to.” Before pressing his lips onto her forehead. They should probably stand up, now. When Nick pulled himself to his feet, he reached down to do the same for Anna. Then, he gave her an option, just judging on her reaction once she stood. If she wanted to remain holding his hand while they walked back to the trailer, then he would do it. If not, he would not force it. Either way, the pair ended up walking back to their now private trailer for the evening. The streets of the community were empty now. It was nice to not worry about other people for once. They could just focus on each other right now.

Still, Nick felt like something was off. Maybe it was not inherently about letting him back into her life the way he wanted but he knew there was something else on her mind. It was strange because Anna going to Molly whenever she felt this type of way about something was not a secret to him. He was well aware that Molly dealt with Anna whenever she was feeling the way she was feeling now, so it was a new perspective to see her like this. Upon returning to their trailer, Nick closed the door, slipped off his shoes, and plopped down onto the bed, keeping silent as he waited for Anna to join him.
 
Alicia loved knowing the all-encompassing, intense affect that she had on her lover - and she would be lying if she tried to say that she didn't have the same reactions at his hands. Just the anticipation of knowing that Bryce was coming back to the room had been enough to leave her wet, already slick even before he had touched her. The fact that he'd found out her weak spot (and one she hadn't even known of, at that)? That was just even more intense. Alicia absolutely loved the way he felt against her slickness, whether they were simply grinding against each other or fully nude. There was simply something intoxicating about how amazing it felt to have the head of his cock glide along her clit.

"You know I do," she uttered between soft, aroused moans, as his focus changed to stimulate the entirety of her sweet pussy. That first kiss released a monster in her, though, one that struggled to stay slow. His lips drove her wild as his tongue ran along them, and it didn't take long for hers to join. Subtly, and without even realizing that she was doing, her hips started to rise and fall along his length. More consciously, Alicia hooked one of her legs up around his waist. "Such a tease," she whined playfully - as if they didn't both know that she was loving every second.

There was a million things still running through Anna's mind, still a lot of shit that she wasn't processing or saying or sure how to even say at all - like how was she supposed to go and tell him that yeah, she was relieved to have some security with him, but she still didn't trust it at all? Or that she wanted him to stop even talking to Luciana, whether that woman was responsible for them finding a safe place for him to heal in or not? She would get over it at some point, but though Nick had rarely seen her trying to process before he had seen the aftermath. Something just felt... off. Anna couldn't place a name to the feeling but her spine felt stiff and her jaw tight and she was torn between wanting to be smothered in his touch and wanting to be left untouched all at the same time.

Now, though? She was trying to focus, relax. Nothing good would come out of overthinking things - he had agreed to be good to her and also said that they could just try to make the best of the night now. Anna walked beside him close enough that their shoulders brushed, but she didn't hold on to his hand - the quiet of the night was relaxing. After they got inside she had to kick off her boots, and even though they had already talked about it, there was a tenseness to Anna as she looked in and was reminded of the scene she'd faced last time that she had walked in. Yeah, she definitely needed that joint - so she sped up the process and then quite literally hopped on to the bed beside him, landing beside him. She lit up and then put her lighter down, and while she took a couple hits she climbed back in to Nick's lap to a similar position as before.

"Here ya go," she said as she offered it over to him, doing her best to come off as alright as possible.
 
“Tease? Why do I get the feeling that this might be a little more than teasing?” The response was playful, but it held some validation. The way her hips raised to meet his, the way her leg wrapped around his hip – it was almost like she was nonverbally telling him to stay there, to keep it up. Therefore, Bryce intended to do that. Maybe he could get Alicia over the edge like this, then finish himself off right after, inside of her. It was a new experiment, something Bryce looked forward to trying. If she changed her mind, if she wanted him fully inside of her, Bryce knew she could just say so, then, he would give her what she wanted. Until then, the dark-haired man was content with doing this, something that they both seemed to enjoy quite a bit. While his cock continued gliding along her wet folds, he decided to give her clit more attention as well. The hand holding his cock released since he had now slipped into a nice groove, resting against those outer lips. His hand was not needed at the time.

Two fingers pressed down firmly onto Alicia’s clit, rubbing slow circles, making sure he did add enough pressure so it was pleasurable, although he kept most of the touch gentle and easy. “Yesterday feels like a dream. I’m still in disbelief that the beautiful Alicia Kemp is my wife now.” Ah, yes – she better get used to it. There was never a reason to say one’s last name now in practical uses, but she should probably get used to him saying Alicia Kemp now that they were married, because he loved the sentiment so much. “You’re so wet, Princess. I know you must be loving this right now. I bet I can get you off like this.” He murmured lowly, flashing her a charming smile while revealing his intentions. It was just a random notion he took, but it felt good to him as well, so he was going all in.

The tension was thick in the air. Nick felt paralyzed. It was odd, though. Anna was the one that had been upset, for the most part. Yet, Nick felt the same negative emotions in the room. There was a legitimate fear. At least, he found it legitimate – the fear of saying one wrong syllable to Anna, ruining everything. Nick’s mind was at an impasse with himself. If he said something, he risked saying the wrong thing, which would push Anna away. What if he kept his mouth shut? Yeah, that prevented him from saying the wrong thing, but it made him act distant, like he wanted nothing to do with her. That could push Anna away as well. Nick never felt like he walked on eggshells with Anna before, but he sure as hell felt that way right now. Some relief released from him when she crawled onto his lap again, but there was something off. There was something about her gaze, about her express, and about her body language that proved it. Nick knew Anna too well to miss it. If only he had paid this much attention to her before walking out, right?

At least it was a step in the right direction. Anna wanted Nick to listen to her, to pay attention to her better. That was exactly what he was doing now. She was not speaking, but she did not need to say a word. Nick heard her loud and clear. After a couple hits from the joint, he passed it back to her and started to place his hands on her hips, leaning down to kiss her neck a bit, not knowing what to expect, but it just felt right. Nick knew that doing nothing was a recipe for disaster, so he tried to act as natural as possible.
 
Bryce called her out immediately and Alicia laughed out loud - a sweet, soft sound that she couldn't manage to hold back. Damn, he knew her incredibly well - and luckily the pair were able to play off of each other well enough to both pick up on each other's interests and quirks, as well as make use of them without even having to ask. Ever since that first time that he had grinded against her and seen her overwhelmed reaction, Bryce had made use of that knowledge to sneak in ways to please her - just as, especially knowing it was an interest of his, Alicia was making a point to do little things that would arouse him like tease him with her feet or tie her hands together (the latter especially when he wasn't looking).

"No need to bet, my prince - you definitely can." Not only was the sensation of his cock rubbing along her intense and amazing, the main female pleasure center was external - the combination pretty much guaranteed she would get off, especially with how attentive Bryce was to her needs. In fact, he was already doing such a good job that her soft moans were starting to grow louder. Even just being called by his last name had a way of getting to her, too - god, this was the man she was going to get to spend the rest of her life with. "But, please, my love - I'd love to take you up on that bet." The playful grin she gave him after was light and happy.

----

Anna was... content with the little scene they had, cuddled up and splitting the joint. She wasn't outright happy but that came as no surprise to her, though she did try her best to shake the residual tension. The fact that Nick could tell she was still off did not help at at all, because his attempt to keep in her good books and stay quiet definitely did come off as rather distant, and that seemed to shake her up a little bit more. At least he went out of his way to put his hands on, grab her by the hips and find the soft, sensitive skin of her neck. Normally that would come off as instantly arousing to her - possibly the easiest way to get her going without even trying. Now, though?

It felt... soft. He was so gentle with her, especially paired with the tense atmosphere, and that made it so obvious he was just trying to find a way to appease her. She took her share before she turned around on his lap to straddle him, hovering close to him with smoke still in her lungs. She nudged his nose with her own, offering up a shotgun kiss his way. Whether he took it or not she then perched the joint between two fingers to offer it back to him and attacked his neck with more ferocity than he had hers, starting far back where that mark she had left earlier in the day was and starting a trail of nips and sucks down towards his adam's apple - very purposely (and possessively) leaving him marked.

Only after her lips latched above his collarbone did she pull away, look up at him with a gaze a mixture of tired and wild. "Do you love me?" She barely whispered, watching him with a need for an answer.
 
That settled it, then. Bryce had every intention of continuing to grind against Alicia like this until she came. It would undoubtedly get him over the edge as well, though he did intend to release inside of her. Smiling at the brunette, Bryce locked their lips together again. This time, he was not holding back, not even for a second. His tongue made quick work, parting her lips so he could have access inside of her mouth. Immediately, his tongue went to pin hers down underneath his own, his head tilting to the right so he could make the kiss as deep as possible. Bryce was smiling against the kiss, feeling new levels of happiness and adoration. It was such a perfect way to start the day. Hopefully, this was a reoccurring theme. Bryce loved the idea of randomly entering the room where Alicia found a way to bind and/or gag herself for him.

While still rubbing his cock against her folds, his fingers kept the same pace on her clit, not changing anything right now. His free hand did roam, though – at times, it would fondle her breasts, at other times, it would play with her ass. Bryce could hear the girl moaning louder as they made love. His own moans started growing louder as well. It felt like every inch of his body was on fire, his erection starting to throb and pulsate violently as he knew that he was getting close to the edge, almost ready to burst. “I’m so close, Princess…” He whispered against her lips, hoping that she was about to peak as well.

At first, when Anna moved, Nick assumed something was wrong. However, she soon turned around to face him, straddling his lap. Accepting the shotgun kiss brought back memories. How many times had they done this? Nick lost count, even if he tried to keep up. After it was over, he felt Anna take control now, attacking his neck just as he had done with hers. However, he noticed the pace was different – the entire feeling was different. It seemed that she wanted to crank the intensity level way up, Nick was fine with that, obviously, though he had no idea what she had in mind, exactly. He took another hit when she passed him the joint, feeling her leaving him more marked. To Nick, it meant something different this time. He was hers now, she was his – they might not have said the words that Nick wanted to hear, but it was close enough.

The next question caught him way off guard, not expecting her to bring anything sentimental or emotional right now. Did he love her? Hell yes, he did. “Of course I do.” Nick responded with no hesitance, making sure that he could look into her eyes when he said it. Nick wanted to ask her the same thing, but had a bad feeling about it, so he kept quiet for now. He half-wondered if it was a trick question, if she would turn it into a ‘well, you didn’t act like it when you left’ or something that Anna could say. All the same, it did not matter because Nick was telling the truth – he did love her.
 
Streams of gasps, moans and barely-audible expletives escaped Alicia's lips over the next few minutes, muffled by having Bryce's lips and tongue on her own mouth. It was all very electrifying, especially with his fingers working on magic on her clit in addition. By the time that he was on the verge of release, Alicia was also incredibly close. She couldn't stay still beneath him - her body writhed and her legs tightened over his hips she had almost forgot that her hands were secured to the bed until she attempted to pull them in towards her body only to meet resistance. She knew that Bryce liked watching her struggle as well, so that one jolt wasn't the end of her display - she continued to tug against the binds through moans and whimpers.

"I am too baby," she barely managed to say against his mouth, lost in both their passionate kiss and the way their bodies grinded together. Despite not even being penetrated, Alicia's body was tightening and twitching and for a few more seconds she toed the edge until release was unavoidable. She came hard, letting out a loud moan as waves of pleasure shot through every inch of her body. Though she was unable to cling using her hands, with her legs over Bryce's body she was able to cling to him that way. "Fuck, fuck- Bryce!" She moaned and gasped still against his lips as wave after wave rocked through her to the point she wasn't even able to keep those bright green eyes of hers open.

Of course I do. Why wasn't that enough? Why couldn't that quell the sinking feeling in Anna's bones that it wasn't real? She had thought that maybe, just maybe, that could have done it - but when was getting out of one of her moods ever that easy? She'd spent full nights refusing to let him even touch her because they had "gotten over" an argument, but she hadn't really - only to wake up in the morning smothering him with affection (and sex, almost always sex) as if she hadn't swatted his hands off of her just hours before and nothing had ever been wrong. It wasn't a slight to him, not really, but sometimes she just got stuck in things.

The moment after he said that was long, drawn out by an intense stare on Anna's part that failed to portray anything she was actually feeling. It would be rather easy to read as anger or her being upset or a million other things, but really she was just struggling to make things feel right to her. It had been a busy day, she'd felt hurt a couple times over, and that lingering offness just wouldn't fade. "I wanna feel it," she said to break her own silence. If her tone didn't get her meaning by, the intense and hungry way she kissed him after hopefully would. The rest of the joint could be put out and saved for later for all she cared - she'd been stoned for the better part of the day, so it wasn't like she would be missing out.
