Chapter 19.5: Everything In These Hands Part 2

Reimuz swept Celes under her knees and carried her like a princess, the white bed sheet she wrapped around her chest like a gown secured her body tightly, but not so tight it made her feel uncomfortable. She felt cushioned in his arms, and so small, her resolve to deny his strong gaze melted that very instant. She had never felt devoid of wit or conversation, more awkward or tongue-tied in her life.

Reimuz turned to Wein then shifted his eyes to the half crescent moon manifesting at the night sky. “Let’s continue this conversation over a cup of booze, my treat.”

While watching the same sky, the young miner yawned and nodded. “You know of a good place?”

“Not really,” Reimuz said. “But it should be easy enough finding a good pub once we’re back in Berkut.”

“Good idea, just let me know whenever,” said Wein.

He started walking up the slope, but halted when he heard Reimuz called out to him from behind.

“Wein, just tell me one thing… How did you ended up here?”

Wein lifted his right hand and pointed it at his head, his hands gestured to a point, as if he was mimicking an equipment Celes knew nothing about.

“A bullet through my head,” he said, as he began walking again, leaving the two by themselves.

Reimuz displayed a solemn expression accompanied by a dry smile and replied:

“I see,” saying that he understood whatever it was that his friend wanted to convey.

They both watched his figure disappear, and when he was out of her eyesight, Celes bit on her lips. She heard and saw everything, but could not make a single sense on what the two were talking about.

All she knew was that Reimuz planned on drinking once they reached the city, something she felt like he needed her confirmation first. But, at the same time, she didn’t want to deny his decision—hence her silent agreement.

Her fingers clutched onto the young man who retained his silence and she gave him a gentle shake. “Wake up.”

His eyebrow quirked. “Sorry, you want to return?”

Celes nodded, searching in between the line of his words. Not so long ago before he left their tent, he was so happy to joke about various things, but now, he was emitting an aura so different it made her wonder what happened in that short duration of time.

She stared down at the path beneath his feet, not mentioning any other word until they came back to their tent. Reimuz gently set her down their bed and lay on the soft mattress himself. Her pulse was beating so fast, an exciting feeling of anticipation. Would he kiss her? Or Would he perhaps touch her to tease? The key was her mood after all. If she would allow him to touch, which she did, and she enjoyed it.

But Reimuz did nothing but stare at the ceiling, which made her worry again.

“What’s wrong now?” Celes leaned closer and wrapped her arms around him, alternating kisses to the nape of his neck and his cheek. “Stop sulking, idiot,” she buried her face on his nape, as if she was trying to inhale all of him, clearly telling him that whatever shyness or tentativeness she ever felt before, she’d obviously overcome.

“I’m just a little shaken. But it felt great to vent these emotions in my heart after quite some time.”

Ah, perhaps it was because of that incident in the mines, Celes thought. “You don’t have to blame yourselves for what happened in the mines. You two didn’t have a method to save the miners,” she comforted him through her warmth, her arms fastening around his waist.

She found it strange when he wondered and asked about the miners who disappeared without trace. Yet after she revealed the shocking truth that it was the monsters he and his friend had killed, it bewildered him so much he stood still for a few minutes with dilated eyes.

He was not a murderer. He didn’t choose to kill for his own convenience. But no matter how much she twisted the truth, there was no washing away the things that he had done. It already left a trace in his mind. All she could do was to make him feel comfortable and hopefully made him realize that it was not his fault. And he was not to blame. And that he was able to save a life.

Reimuz wrapped an arm around her, trailing kisses from the corner of her eyes to her lips. She closed her eyes and responded softly, her lips puckering in delight. Oh yes, she loves to be kissed like that.

Ending the series of kisses to her brow, he placed his hand on top of hers. “Well, that was one thing… But we didn’t really talked about any of that. Maybe Wein already knew beforehand—I mean, he worked here after all.”

“Then what?”

“It wasn’t anything special. He just helped me reminisced a little bit,” he murmured dryly.

“Reminisced… about what?”

“As I said, it’s nothing.”

Reimuz shifted his body and faced her, his arms running around her back, his lips slanting on her ear.

Celes yelped in surprise and her eyes flew open. “Aaaahhhtttttt!!” Her fingers digging into his shoulders and her scream was muffled by his chest.

“I told you, anything else besides my ears!!” Annoyed and aroused at the same time, she gave him a quick jab on his ribs.

Suddenly he stopped, as if he was waiting for her to say that. The edges of her mind blurred when she realized how big of an error she just made. Now that she’d given him free pass, he’d certainly won’t settle with just a mere hump and a few kisses.

“Celes, do you want to do it?” Despite the ache in his groin, he asked and confirmed her feelings.

“Do it… Whatever you mean by that?”

“You know… Lovemaking… Or in short… Sex.”

Her heart gave one hard thud as she thought about it. She closed her eyes for a moment, and opened them in a new light. She pressed her fingers on his groin and spooned his erection softly. She felt his hot thing strained at his trousers, and when her fingers brushed along the material, he flinched.

Celes was breathing in quick little pants. She blushed at the thought of doing it with him, and she knew that she couldn’t keep running away, or it might ruin their relationship in the end. Good relationships are made from a strong mental, emotional, and sexual connections after all. Or at least that was what her trusted companion, Sylphie, had said.

“Will… it cheer you up?”

She heard him chuckle and when she shifted her gaze upward, he smirked. A devilish smirk.

“There’s only one way to find out, is there?”

Her cheeks warmed. “Pervert.”

His smile widened. “Pervert it is then.”

Reimuz hauled himself off the bed. He was suddenly energetic now. He stripped and threw his shirt off somewhere in the room, and before he could even begin to unfasten his pants, Celes pushed his hands and did it herself. Reimuz stepped out of his trousers and stood there for a moment, naked, just gazing at the green haired Effu sitting on the edge of their bed with her cheeks flushed before him.

Her own daring gaze lowered to his cock. Reaching out one hand, she wrapped her fingers around it, and squeezed. She stared, and stared some more. She’d never seen anything like it, and while her spirit educated her about these things, it was still different than how she imagined it to be.

“It’s throbbing… Like it’s alive…” Celes said almost absentmindedly, as she stroked the extent of it.

“Treat it like… another me…” His eyes half-closed and he could barely speak.

Celes took him at his word. She narrowed her eyes and ran her hands along his cock and beneath his skin that carried his balls.

“Lord!” He couldn’t help but thrust forward and slid his cock between her palms.

He whimpered in pleasure, delicious pleasure, and seeing him moan flared a deep emotion inside of her. A smile curved her lips. She clenched his jaw, and she pressed a quick kiss on the tip of his manhood. She kissed the tip over and over again, greedily, just like how they did when they first started their relationship.

“God, stop it with the tease—Aaahhh!!” He screamed again, as if he would almost drop on his knees, but his reaction just deepened her smile.

She stood up and caught him in surprised, taking his mouth hungrily with an open mouthed kiss. Their tongues tangled, their mutual feelings for each other bringing them closer. Gently, he slid his arms around her back and slowly pushed her down until she lay flat on the soft mattress.

“Mhhhhhmmm…”

She groaned with his mouth against her, and at that point she sensed him slipped his hands under her shirt. He teased her tense nipples until he could feel her trembling beneath his palms. That surge of arousal made her want to cry in pleasure, but his mouth eating her in greedy bites prevented her from doing so. A tension in her mixed with a soft and slow yielding, and everything else was lost.

Ending their longest kiss, Reimuz took her breast into his mouth, sucking it over her shirt as he fondled and caressed the other one.

“Haaaahnnn… Reimuz… Aaaahhhhh…” Celes quivered to his delicate touches and made a low purr of pleasure that was charming and seductive in his ears.

He reached for her shoulders and slowly brought her shirt down with his skilled fingers, revealing the treasures hidden underneath. She turned him into a beast. He could no longer hear her reason. Through the fog of desire, she saw his gaze lifting to hers as he dipped a finger between her thighs, his mouth alternating between her bare breasts. A delicious moment for them both, but it was just beginning.

Celes moaned and tipped back, her hands tightly clutched on his shoulders. He rose up to kiss her again, and she fought back tentatively, but he was in control now. He parted her thighs further and slid his finger deep inside her flops.

“You’re so delicious, Celes,” he murmured between her breasts.

He trailed his mouth from her breast down her belly and then lifted her knees in his hands. He leaned closer and flicked his tongue inside. Tasting, sucking, licking, he enjoyed that part of her very thoroughly.

“My Goddess, I am not prepared!” gasped Celes, flailing her arms out, her hands clutching at his hair. “Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!!” She moaned, bucking from his onslaught.

Reimuz lifted his head and looked at her. “Are we really stopping now?” he asked, showing a face of disappointment. He’d stop, although it might kill him, but he would.

“No, no… I’m just…”

Reimuz kissed her thigh. “Then would you allow me?”

He pushed himself up and crawled on top of her. He gazed straight into her hazel eyes, but did not mention any other word. That unsettled face of his was her undoing. She wanted to taste more of him too. Her arms slid around his neck and she pressed kisses on his cheeks, his nose, his mouth, everywhere she could reach.

“I love you, Reimuz,” she whispered. “It’s okay to put it in,” drawing him deeper, she opened her mouth eagerly and employed her lips to slip her tongue inside his mouth.

Kissing made her heart race and her breath to quicken and her body to submit against his in a way that only made her long for more of it, and him. And him and him alone.

“I love you more, Celes,” he whispered hoarsely, breaking away from her mouth to kiss her cheek. “Don’t hesitate to tell me if it hurts.”

She could feel his concern. Hurting her in any form was the last damn thing he wanted to do, and he made that clear ever since they first met.

“Don’t worry about me too much,” she whispered back. “Just do your thing.”

Closing her eyes, she cupped his face and brought his mouth back down to kiss her again. She had slipped farther back on the bed that she feared to fall at one instant, but playing with his tongue was just that tasty she completely forgot about it all. Even then she had already become so wet that she seemed to shatter with just a mere flick of his finger, let alone kiss.

Reimuz pushed her thighs wide, and before her sated flesh had begun to close, he centered his erection to that area where she was wet and ready for him. But before he could sheath himself inside, her face contorted in pain. Goodness gracious! She never thought penetration would be this painful. She underestimated her first time.

“Hold on just a bit…” her breath quickening with every exhale.

Preparing herself for the worst, she wrapped her hands around his neck, her eyes squeezed and tightly shut. She gave him the go signal and with one swift thrust, he entered and sheathed himself inside the vulnerable flesh hidden between her thighs.

“Haaaaaahhhn!!”

Something popped inside of her, followed by a warm and thick sensation that flowed from within. She dragged Reimuz closer to her, and just embraced him like that as if she would not let go. He gently stroked her back and nudged her tear-stained cheek, which ease her suffering in a way to mix pleasure with pain. He laid passive until she had adjusted with the sudden arousal of his cock.

“Don’t let go until the pain subsides,” he groaned, his hands gliding over her body, charting the curves of her waist and hips.

“I’m alright,” she obeyed and tightened her grip on his neck. “I’m all yours,” she surrendered everything to him. Not wanting to lose this moment for them both, she clenched her teeth and urged him to move.

With her permission, he rocked her world with all the urgency he could no longer deny. Her eyes widened, filling with tears as she gazed at his face so close over hers. But with each thrust, she grimaced in pain. Every time he moved his hips, it caused her sheer misery.

It made her head spin; her legs locked around his waist and her mouth fused to his. As long as their kissing, she can lived through the pain. Lust clouded her thoughts as Reimuz pounded her into oblivion. Back and forth, he shoved his desires, as if he was hungry and needing.

Oh, the emotions! Oh, the love!

“Celes… It’s coming!” He exclaimed, pounding his hips even faster.

“Do it,” she cried, sensations coiled her whole body, making her writhe shamelessly. “Aaaaaah!”

Nothing mattered anymore.

She clung to him, dispersing into tiny little pieces, then suddenly his passion exploded, wave after wave of glorious glee, as if in hot pursuit. She felt it deep inside her womb; his seed—an oath that sealed their bond.

“Sorry,” he sank on top of her, panting and exhausted. “I ended up blowing it inside.”

Celes flushed. She could feel that warm and sticky liquid oozing down from her hole.

“Big idiot,” she murmured, her fingers kneading his scalp. “You better take responsibility.”

He was touching her again. He pressed and teased her nipples, and his cock that went limp inside of her turned hard once more. Much larger, much harder, and more demanding.

“I plan to… from the very start,” he whispered to the lower part of her ear. “I love you, Celes. You’re mine. Everything about you is mine. Mine. Remember that.”

She squirmed, enthralled by his dark voice and the intoxicating smell that covered their room. They kissed once more, passionately, and before she could even react, he was pushing into her swollen, stimulated flesh again.

Celes trembled and realized; it seems like their intimate night had just begun.
