Page 77 of Death

Her eyes roll and she leans up to kiss me on the lips. A decent answer.

“Looking forward to today?” I ask.

Tannis sighs. “Big day,” she says.

“You nervous?”

“A little.”

“Don’t be.” I kiss her shoulder again. “Weddings are supposed to be fun and exciting — or so I’ve read.”

She snorts. “It’s not the wedding,” she says. “It’s everything else.”

“It’ll be all right.”

“They’ll get suspicious,” she says, nervously.

I shake my head. “No, they won’t.”

“I still look twenty-years-old.”

“Then they’ll be envious, not suspicious,” I joke.

She glares at me but smiles. I kiss her once, twice. We lock together, legs briefly entwined as I maneuver to balance on top of her.

Tannis chuckles as my manhood grinds against her hip. “I’m not sure there’s time for this…”

I reach between us, effortlessly pushing her nightgown up so I can slide inside of her. “I’ll make time,” I say with a heated growl.

She gasps with instant pleasure. Her knees hug my sides as I angle her hips higher to impale her deeper. “I have to do my hair,” she says playfully.

“Your hair is perfect no matter what it looks like.”

“And my make-up.”

“You’re twenty. You don’t need make-up.”

“And I need—”

I crush my mouth on hers to silence her. “You need—” I thrust harder and she moans, “to make love to me, my queen. I’ll have you to the church on time, I swear it.”

Tannis kisses me back, submitting completely beneath me with a devious smirk on her lips. She runs her fingers up my sides, purposefully touching my sensitive spots. “Yes, my king,” she whispers with a sinister tone.

I squint in warning. “Tannis.”

She touches me again as she holds in a laugh. “What?”

“Stop.”

“Stop what?” she asks, innocently.

My entire side erupts in tickles. I attempt to push away from her but she latches her legs around my hips, forcing fits of giggles out of me. She laughs hard, teasing me, until I manage to snatch her devilish hands and pin them above her head.

Tannis kisses me, calming the growl in my throat, and all is forgiven.

Tannis nervously fiddles with the edge of her sundress as she stares out the car window. It’s been an interesting experience for her over the years; watching her home grow and change while she stays the same. Businesses come and go. Families move in and out. Life goes on.
