Chapter 18: Still Sure About This? (18+)
….
Regal pulled into his apartment parking lot, the car came to a stop as the engine shut off, allowing the silence within the car stretched, thick and charged.
"It's late. Want to come up?" Regal finally broke the silence, his voice casual but expectant.
Gwendolyn didn't hesitate.
"Sure." Gwendolyn replied without missing a beat. A small smile played on her lips as she pushed open the car door before he could add anything else.
Regal followed suit, stepping out and locking the car with a quick press of a button. Together, they walked toward his flat.
The elevator ride was short.
Once inside the flat, Regal flicked on the lights, letting the warm glow fill the room, and immediately tossed the keys onto the counter and turned to her with a faint smile.
"Welcome." He said, stepping aside to let her in.
"Why, thank you," Gwendolyn replied, her tone light as she stepped inside, her eyes immediately taking in her surroundings.
The small space was undeniably lived-in, empty pizza boxes stacked on the counter and a few books scattered across the table.
Regal locked the door behind them and walked further in, gesturing toward the full bed.
"You can sit over there." He offered.
Seeing her nod, Regal grabbed the bags and headed toward the cramped kitchenette. He set them down on the counter with minimal fuss, then quickly returned to the main room.
Gwendolyn hadn't moved much, perched on the edge of the bed, looking around, perhaps processing the moment.
Regal, though mindful of the guest, could help but let himself collapse onto the same bed beside her.
The springs creaked in protest, but he didn't care.
Today was over.
Regal lay sprawled on the bed.
He shifted slightly, his legs bent, his head resting loosely on the pillow.
"Comfortable already, are we?" Gwendolyn remarked.
Regal turned his head lazily, his crooked grin answering her challenge. "It's my bed. Why shouldn't I? Unless you're planning to kick me off."
She crossed her legs, her fingers tracing idle patterns on the edge of the blanket. "Depends. Are you planning to keep hogging all the space?"
"That depends too…" Regal shot back, propping himself up on one elbow, his eyes sweeping over her with a smirk. "Are you going to keep sitting there, looking all pretty, or are you actually going to join me?"
For a moment, she stayed still, then shifted. Her legs, tucked beneath her, swung off the side of the bed.
With fluid motion, she shifted, her body sliding closer to his.
She didn't hesitate, her legs brushed against his, the space between them closing rapidly as she settled beside him.
Her head rested on the pillow near his, and her chest brushed against his side.
Regal's pulse quickened as her presence intensified. He locked eyes with hers and felt something stir in him, closing the distance instantly.
Gwendolyn's lips parted slightly for air, but Regal took the opportunity, deepening the kiss further, tasting the sweetness of her response, his hand moving to her back and pulling her closer.
She didn't hesitate, her chest pressing firmly against his, her body yielding to his pull.
It only took a second, but he finally pulled back, both of them breathless, their foreheads leaning against each other as they caught their breath.
"Still sure about this?" He asked, his voice rough but steady.
Her lips curved into a teasing smile, her eyes half-lidded. "If I wasn't, you would already know."
And that was it. He didn't care anymore.
The distance between them disappeared again, and their kiss resumed, deeper this time, as they gave in to the warmth and closeness that had built up between them.
After the kiss, Regal trailed his lips down to her neck, teasing the sensitive skin there with soft, lingering kisses.
The gentle contact left faint traces of wetness, making Gwendolyn moan softly, her body shivering with pleasure.
Slowly, his hands moved to the buttons of her shirt, undoing one after the other, and in the process, his fingers occasionally contacting her bare skin sent a shiver down her spine.
Once done, he smoothly pulled the shirt over her shoulder, revealing the soft, smooth skin beneath - her black bra cradled her chest, its straps resting delicately on her shoulders, holding her soft, full breasts.
Despite the urge to dive in, he leaned in for another kiss, this one deeper, more urgent, trying to calm her fastened-up nerves.
Gwendolyn, understanding his thoughts, tried to lose her tense muscles and give in to the moment, and in a search of distraction, she slid her hands under Regal's t-shirt.
On the other hand, Regal's mind was occupied staring deep at the small cleavage visible over her bra, and a guess was immediately confirmed - she was a C cup.
It was just as he had imagined, and for some reason he felt quite elated and more so because the sight was more captivating than he had anticipated.
Noticing, his eyes Gwendolyn fully calmed, but still shy, slowly pulled her hands back, caught his wrist, and motioned it towards her chest.
Getting the final signal, Regal removed his t-shirt and tossed it aside with little care. Then, he dove in with a kiss on her upper chest and slid his hands underneath the bra, gently cupping one of her breasts.
Gwendolyn gasped, a surprised moan escaping her lips as she instinctively gripped his arm for support.
Regal's fingers traced along the soft mounds before reaching what he wanted in the center of them, giving it a light pinch.
Gwendolyn's face flushed crimson, her breath hitching as she felt the warmth spread across her cheeks.
His hand still under her bra, Regal pressed her back hard onto the bed, giving her another deep and passionate kiss on her neck as she moaned under his touch.
Meanwhile, his other hand danced near her navel for a few seconds, sending a shiver of anticipation through her with no sight as she closed her eyes.
Slowly, it traveled lower, undoing the button on her pants and pulling them down all the way to her legs. In the process, her underwear was in full view, revealing the same texture and color as her bra.
Regal backed away slightly, trying to get a better view of her curves and beauty.
His eyes roamed over her, taking in her chest beneath the bra, her black panties, her thighs, and the curves of her ass.
Unable to resist any longer, he closed in again, and they kissed each other once more, filled with intense desire.
Their skin touched, brushing against each other.
In the process, Regal's hand slid down from her abdomen, moving further down under her panties.
His hand carefully explored the area beneath her panties. As he traced the sensitive skin, he could feel the wetness there. After a few more seconds of teasing, his finger finally slid inside.
Gwendolyn's eyes widened in surprise as her moans deepened.
He captured her lips again, his kiss deeper and more assertive this time, silencing the soft, breathy sounds she couldn't suppress.
His fingers moved with deliberate care, exploring her with a tenderness that made her body arch instinctively toward him.
Outside the window, the world remained unaware of their moment, the occasional flicker of streetlights casting fleeting shadows across the room, adding to the intimacy of the scene.
Their breaths mingled in the quiet of the room, the faint hum of the city outside serving as a backdrop.
Regal's hands moved with purpose, yet never in haste, tracing the contours of her body as if memorizing every curve.
Gwendolyn's fingers found their way to his shoulders, gripping him lightly, seeking both balance and connection.
He pulled back for a moment, his eyes locking onto hers, searching for unspoken words in the depths of her gaze.
Her flushed face, coupled with the gentle rise and fall of her chest, was all the confirmation he needed.
With a soft smile, he leaned in again, this time trailing kisses from her jawline to her collarbone, each touch igniting a trail of warmth across her skin.
The dim light from the window highlighted the contrast between their bodies as they moved closer.
Regal's hands slid along her sides, savoring the way she responded to every touch, while Gwendolyn's fingers traced gentle patterns on his back, her nails occasionally digging in just enough to leave faint reminders of their closeness.
As they explored the unspoken connection between them, the outside world faded further into the background, leaving only the shared intimacy of the moment.
….
.
Early morning.
Regal blinked awake, gazing at the same ceiling he had gotten used to over the past two months, but what was foreign was feeling something warm stuck to the left side of his body.
Despite everything coming together, the sensation was unfamiliar enough to draw his attention.
His gaze dropped, a tangle of blonde hair sprawled over his chest, Gwendolyn's head resting on top of his chest.
Memories from the night before rushed in, but he shoved them aside, his mind snapping to the present.
Careful not to jolt her, Regal scanned his surroundings by pivoting his neck, and his long arms stretched to get the hold of his alarm to turn off and let the stillness continue.
It was 4:25 - luckily it was five minutes early before it rang out.
His eyes once again shifted to the weight on his chest.
Her relaxed face inches from his as her chest heaved up and down as her even breaths brushed against his neck. The thin strap of her bra clung loosely to her shoulder, dangerously close to slipping further.
He shifted, slipping his arm under her head and sliding a pillow in its place.
She stirred faintly but didn't wake, her breathing steady. He exhaled a short breath of relief and swung his legs off the bed in one smooth motion.
The cool floor stung his feet, but he ignored it, running a hand through his disheveled hair.
Glancing back, he caught the sight of her, golden strands of hair spilling over the pillow, the sheet barely covering her as she remained still.
No time to linger.
Regal pushed to his feet, grabbed a nearby towel, rested it on his shoulder, and slipped himself into the bathroom, getting another last glance of her before shutting it.
