S.P.A.C.E. Academy, New York circa 2011

(Manik's bedroom, S.P.A.C.E. Residency...contd.)

Nandini Murthy

I woke up in the morning feeling weird, I wasn't used to anyone bodily hugging me in my sleep; and here he was hugging me tightly like I'd run away if he loosened his grip. His arm caged my waist, his leg looped around my thighs, his head lovingly nestled in between the valley of my breasts; what Manik and I shared that morning was pure synergy. I tried moving, but his grip was tight, I couldn't; but as I slowly started becoming aware of my body, my God, was that his morning wood I was feeling between my thighs? Yikes, Ayap--Never you mind! Urgh.

"Why're you fidgeting, baby?" he mumbled without opening his eyes, spooning his head further into my mounds. Aah the feeling, I wish I could explain exactly how peaceful and fulfilled I felt at that moment; it felt like my world was in cadence.

"Manik.." I muttered, unsure what to say next.

"Mmm?" he replied, as I felt a soft peck on my breast, as his palm moved from my waist, up my mound which he softly kneaded from one side and kissed from the other, with his eyes shut. The boy had no idea of the amount of pleasure he was inflicting on me, with his soft kneading and wet kisses. I shut my eyes and rolled my head back in the pillow in sometime, the pleasure was engulfing me.

"I'm hungry, I want my favourite breakfast" he whispered close to my ears, after softly nibbling my ear lobe.

"Hmm?" I motioned in uncertainty.

"Help me unhook your bra, and let me feast" he replied softly, although I knew it was a command; he was always in control.

"Manik, I love you."

There, I had said it, just like that, without even thinking it through in my head; it simply rolled out of my tongue like it was the most natural thing to say! Ayappa, what's wrong with you!?

Manik was leaving a trail of wet kisses down my throat when I literally spelt that disaster, and for a moment it seemed he froze.

Sh*t, sh*t, epic f*cking sh*t!

"Nandini.." I heard him utter, there was a tone of uncertainty there that, to be honest, did sting. Here I told him my truest feelings without bringing my Murthy ego in between, least he could do was smile a little, or maybe sound slightly more decisive?

I looked at him with questioning eyes, and our eyes met. I don't know why there was so much hesitation I felt in his eyes, what was that for, I had said I loved him, right? So that meant we could go ahead! I mean, yes maybe love was a heavy duty word to use at this point, agreed; but it also meant consent, right? Then why weren't we making love already? Anyway, after a brief few minutes of frozen silence and an eye lock, Manik was pulling back. Like seriously, you start my engine and suddenly put a break on yours?! Ayappa!!

I don't know what came over me, when I clutched his hand instinctively, that he was pulling away from my breast as he was moving back.

"Please don't" I whispered, not meeting his eyes. I didn't know why, but I needed this, I needed him.

"Nandini..it's complicated, baby" he whispered in a pleading voice.

"But I'm ready, I want this, Manik" I resisted his resistance.

"I won't be able to stop, Nandini" he whispered back, longing now evident, both in his eyes and voice. I smiled seeing his desire for me; I never felt this thrilled to see someone wanting me, not to this degree, it felt like a different high altogether.

I pulled him by the neck and took his lips into mine. It took Manik less than a second to react and let his resistance crumble to dust, as he pulled me closer to him and deepened the kiss while fondling my breast. This kiss was deep and soul searing; I felt like Manik was kissing me with all his soul, as his hands started freely roaming now, around my back, grabbing my butt and pressing it. His tongue on the other hand was diving right into my mouth, owning the kiss and exploring the cavern of my mouth, like it was his personal territory.

"Help me unhook" he whispered in between the kiss and I didn't need telling twice. I turned my hand towards my back and unhooked my bra in a click, the straps loosened at once. Manik was sucking the hollow between the joint of my shoulder and collarbone when he realised I had unhooked, as the strap came down, he swiftly pulled it down from both my shoulder and just like that I was suddenly naked from the top before him. I swear, with anyone else, I'd freak out. No man had ever seen me this undressed, my cheeks were flushed; but I didn't want to hide from him. I wanted Manik to see my truest form, I wanted his eyes on me. Just me.

Manik stared at my uncovered top and his face held a strange glow. He touched the skin of my breast with almost shivering hands, as if he was scared to hurt me if he was any firmer.

"Beautiful" I heard him whisper, before he bent his head gently towards my breasts and started sucking them softly. I don't know for how long we lay there with him sucking my breasts alternately; he seemed too content in the moment, and I felt deluded in the pleasure of his warm wet tongue on my nipples. There was a spark flying inside me, and a knot formed in the pit of my stomach; Manik was gently swarming in the ocean of content, but I? I needed much more than that, I needed him to bite me, be rough on me, do anything basically that would quench my thirst for him.

"Manik, harder" I whispered after sometime, when I couldn't keep my own desires in check, and it was as if he knew exactly what I wanted; he instantly started sucking my breasts roughly, his other hands grabbed the nipple of my other breast and he started rubbing it taut with the pad of his thumb.

"You want more, baby?" he asked in a whisper, before latching his head back to my breast and slowly biting the soft flesh of my mound.

"Ye--yes" I replied, lost in a frenzy.

He finally pushed me into the bed, with him on top of me and hovered. He started with a soft kiss on my forehead, then his tongue moved down to my nose, to my lips which he nibbled on as his hands were furiously kneading my breast and pulling my nipples. There was a kind of heat that was generated under my skin, and I felt my body needed more, only I didn't know what more was it I needed, to feel satisfied.

Manik moved his mouth between the valley of my breast and left a trail of wet kisses there and trailed his lips downwards; he softly kissed the skin of my stomach and bit me all over, leaving soft red hickeys all over my stomach, he then concentrated on my belly button, and before I knew it, he was sticking his warm, wet tongue into it. I squirmed in pleasure and felt a throb in my vagina; his assaults were enough for me, I wanted to cum.

"Manik, I won't be able to hold for long" I whispered, while tugging his hair gently and without further exchange, I found Manik almost tearing off my lowers. The only piece of clothing I had on me was my panty now. That was my only cover, and Manik seemed like he was in no hurry to remove that.

"Not so fast, baby; hold on for me" he whispered as he moved his lips lower; he then held both my thighs and spread my legs apart, and swiftly took his face between my legs. I breathed raggedly as I felt his wet warm tongue sucking the skin on my inner thigh while his one hand grabbed my butt and the other one gently caressed the fabric of my panty, right over my vaginal lips. His touch was causing shock waves in my body and the knot inside my abdomen tightened further, I felt it would break any moment now, but I tried holding on, I tried holding on for Manik, because he wanted me to. I could do anything for him.

"Baby, I can't hold any longer" I whisper yelled at him, and a moan escaped me. He glanced at me and with one look at my lolling head and he knew I was just moments away from cumming.

"Take my name, baby and cum for me" he whispered back as he swiftly got rid on my panties and at that point I was too gone in ecstasy to realise this was the first time I was completely naked before a man and at that moment that same said man had his mouth between my legs and was softly licking the outer skin of my vaginal lips, awaiting for me to come into his mouth.

"Manik, I lo.." I started saying, but I couldn't complete; his teasing licks down there acted as a catalyst supreme and suddenly it felt like the tight knot in the pit of my stomach bursted into a million pieces and my whole being exploded into shards, as I came right into his mouth.

I didn't realise but I had multiple orgasms already, as if my body was waiting for all these years for his touch to explode, as if I was alway meant to disseminate into such many pieces at his touch, as if I was really meant to cum into his mouth. My Manik.

As I recovered from the waves of orgasm, I found Maniks soft lips finding mine. He was kissing me gently, assuring me of his love. This was a different side to Manik that I was experiencing, his silence. His silence spoke a million words and his actions were enough to assure me that he said it or not, he loved me alright.

"Do you like how you taste?" he asked me lovingly while nibbling my lips, I realised these were the same lips that drank all my cum and wiped my lower clean a couple of minutes ago.

"Hmm, did you?" I asked in between the kiss, as I drew relaxed circles on his back with my nails.

"You are made from head to toe for my taste" he replied while sucking onto my lower lips as his arms caressed my waist in a soothing way. I was squirming in the warmth of his affection, but something was strange here, he showed no signs of going on; we were only half way through, what about his satisfaction?

"Manik, lie down on your back now, I will come on top of you" I said with all the firmness and seduction I could muster. He looked deep into my eyes, and I felt he looked a bit conflicted, why I wondered, but I couldn't hold onto that thought for long, as he captured my waist and swiftly rolled us around, now he was lying on the bed facing up and I was lying on top of him. I sat up on his stomach, balancing myself clutching his waist, I looked at him and felt like he had submitted himself to me, and I could do what I wanted with him, he wouldn't stop me. He was truly mine.

I slowly bent forward and started kissing him on his lips. I was surprised at my own boldness, how was I establishing ownership over him? Wasn't I the shy, blushing types when it came to love, romance and physical intimacy? But with Manik, I felt I owned him, like he owned me; I could do what I liked with him, I could love him, kiss him, and treat him like an actual extension of my own body and he wouldn't deny.

I slowly moved my lips from his lips, to his razor sharp jaw, oh how much I loved his jawline, it could put super models to shame. My hands were gently caressing his upper torso as I haphazardly started counting his abs; one, two, three..oh my God, four?! He had a f*cking eight pack How Ayappa!? All he did was eat junk food and drink beer, and never did I see him exercise. Sometimes life is just so unfair! Hmph.

"What's wrong, baby?" I heard his voice and came out of my reverie. He was frowning and I realised, I had frozen and was looking at him with a frown on my face.

"N--nothing" I muttered and hid my blush, I didn't want to embarrass myself and lose this moment.

"You're talking to yourself again, aren't you?" he smirked and teased me.

"Nonsense" I muttered, as my ears turned pink in embarrassment. He suddenly hunched up and kissed my ears and I giggled. He began kissing my neck and trailed wet kisses down my neck, as he clutched onto my waist holding me on him.

I bent down again and this time I kissed his neck, a soft moan escaped his lips and I smiled in satisfaction. I continued to kiss him on his neck, and trailed down to his broad shoulders, and then to his chest; my fingers played with his erect nipples, and I could feel it was turning him on, judging by the hard nudge I felt on my lower, as I was sitting on his abdomen area. I trailed my kisses further down as I traced my finger over his clearly defined pelvic bone, he groaned in pleasure and grabbed my butt with one hand, the fingers of his other hand found my clit; he started stroking me there and all over again I found heat emanating inside me; my desires were peaking, but this time, I wanted to pleasure him, and give him the release he gave me sometime back. This time he was the priority for me.

Manik raised his legs by folding them from the knees and his thighs sort of became a backrest for me, as I glided back and rested on them. My vagina was more accessible from the front now, and he swiftly broke through my lips and slid a finger inside me.

"Aah" a moan escaped me, and that seemed to excite him more. He started to furiously knead my butt with one hand and started fingering me mercilessly with another, while he moved his abdomen is circular motion grinding right into me. His was teasing me senselessly from so many places that in no time I was at the highest point of ecstasy and I knew I'd lose control anytime and cum on him.

"Manik stop, let me pleasure you this time" I whisper-moaned with a lot of effort, since his finger was playing havoc inside me.

"You already are, baby" he replied through jagged breaths.

"No, I want to taste you." I replied, holding onto my train of thought with much difficulty, when I felt his finger freeze inside me. Damn, why'd he stop, I was just about to cum.

"Baby, you.." he began, but stopped suddenly as I had taken that moment to move out from top of him and sat next to him on the bed, and before he could proceed further with his sentence, I pulled his boxers down and clutched his little guy, with both my hands; another groan escaped him.

I slowly stroked his c*ck with my trembling fingers, this feeling was exhilarating and I was in a trance too, this was the first time I was touching a guy this intimately. Manik knowingly or unknowingly was leaving an irreversible mark on my soul.

"Baby, you have no idea what you're doing to me" he murmured encouragingly, his head was lolling back into the pillow, eyes shut in content and his hands pressing my breasts hard. His state of vulnerability gave me power, it gave me purpose and it gave me the boldness I needed, and I swiftly took his c*ock into my mouth.

"Baby.." Manik whispered in reverence.

I gently slid my tongue through the entire length of his c*ck, as soon as I reached the tip,I tasted his salty pre-cum. I liked his taste and licked it further, this seemed to aggravate his pre-cum as more of it came out.

"Baby I want more of you" I moaned.

"Manik. Call me by my name baby; I like hearing my name from your mouth, it turns me on" he replied with a moan.

"Manik, come for me, I want to taste you" I replied with a voice of dominance as I circled my tongue around his tip further, and slid his c*ck further into my mouth. This seemed to trigger Manik to a great extent and in that moment he seemed to finally lose all his control and started thrusting into my mouth in slow pace; now I was not in control of sucking his c*ck, his thrust was doing the job. I was losing balance, as I clutched onto his waist tightly for support, as Manik shut his eyes in ecstasy and started thrusting deeper into my mouth in an animal like pace by now, his c*ck hit the inner back of my mouth and it was choking me, but I didn't ask him to stop, I wanted to taste him and he needed this to cum.

"Baby I am pulling out, I am going to cum" he spoke hoarsely after a couple of repeated strong thrusts. I immediately clutch his b*lls to stop him from pulling out, I wanted all his cum inside me. I wanted to taste all of him, and all that came out of him was solely mine to claim.

He understood my claim, even without me voicing it, and in another few thrusts, he came inside my mouth with his thick and salty release.

"Aah' he groaned and fell back on the bed, as I choked to gulp all that was mine and came out of him.

I paused in tiredness, but I was uneasy from inside, I wasn't done, I was yet to cum this time and every inch of my skin was sensitive at that point. A sigh escaped my mouth and before I knew it, Manik pulled me down on the bed with him, grabbing me by my waist.

"Baby, that was amazing" he whispered with short breaths, he was still recovering. I tried to smile, but it wasn't too convincing, I needed to release.

"Come lie down, let's get your release" he whispered after looking at me for a second; I smiled more genuinely this time.

He pulled me under him once more and was going down on me, when I stopped him. He looked up at me with questioning eyes.

"I don't want to cum this way, Manik" I mumbled, not looking at him.

"What do you mean, baby?" he asked me ever so gently, looking at me.

"This time, I want you inside me" I barely managed to whisper; I could feel my cheeks turning scarlet and at the same time I heard him sigh.

"Baby, it's too soon to go all the way" he mumbled after a while. I looked at him and he wasn't looking at me, he was looking down. I felt a sharp jab inside me. Why was Manik so reluctant to make love to me? Did he not want me, was I not good enough? These thoughts were too terrifying for my fragile heart at that moment, I was completely vulnerable before him now.

"Why Manik, don't you want me?" I asked, my voice sounded hurt. I saw Manik's head snap towards me and his eyes raised in disbelief.

"Seriously, baby! That's what you think?" he sounded incredulous.

"Then why are you always trying to put it for later?" I asked, tears were brimming in my eyes and I made no effort to hide it.

He looked mad and glared at me; he didn't like me belittling myself, then why did he not want to make love to me?

"Answer me, Manik" I asked again, this time tears were running down freely from my eyes.

"Stop crying Nandini; I can't stand tears in your eyes" he whispered this time, his anger giving way to what seemed like guilt. He pulled me closer and softly kissed my lips trying to pacify me.

I whimpered and he pulled me further into him. He kissed me softly on my forehead and nose and cheeks; he looked deeply upset for making me cry.

"Manik, do you think I won't be good at it, since this is my first time, and you will be dissatisfied?" I asked; I decided to speak my mind, his reluctance was killing me.

"No baby, are you mad?" he replied in defiance.

"Then make love to me, Manik." I said, looking straight into his eyes. He looked back into my eyes deeply, that is when I saw a decision forming in his eyes; it seemed like he had accepted something in his mind, and I wondered what that was, but before I could ask he took my lips for a harsh kiss; there was need, ownership and madness in that kiss, he bit my lips and I yelped. His hand kneaded my breast roughly and harshly, like he was pouring all his anger out on me; a part of me was surprised at his reaction, but the other part, the more dominant and hungry part, didn't care. I was finally getting Manik, all to myself.

As he kissed me roughly, I responded gently with love; as he kneaded me roughly, I lovingly caressed his back and gently pulled his hair. As he bit my neck and earlobe, I only felt soft trails of kisses on his shoulders. In some time I felt his anger was leaving him; he was once again drowning in my love. I continued to pepper soft kisses on his face and neck and chest and bit by bit he calmed down.

"I love you, Manik" I told him softly in his ears, I wanted to assure him that we were doing the right thing. He sighed hearing me, but he held me closer to him. He was nuzzling near my neck now and pecking my nape with all his love.

"Are you sure baby?" he asked me softly one last time.

"Never been surer, Manik." I replied, smiling at him encouragingly. He looked at me for a few seconds, probably looking for a sign of inhibition inside me, when he didn't find any, he got up and hovered over me and in no time placed his c*ck at my entrance.

"Baby, is it okay if I don't wear a condom this time? I want to be skin on skin with you, I want to feel being inside you. Will you take an after pill this time?" he pleaded.

I quickly did a mental calculation on my monthly cycles, I was due in a couple of days anyway, we were safe to go. I nodded with a smile and kissed him on his lips. He smiled looking at me affectionately.

"Baby, it's going to hurt at first; you've got to be strong okay, and trust me." he spoke sincerely. I nodded in assurance as he finally decided to not stall this any further and rammed his c*ck inside me; in no time, a splitting pain smeared through me as I gasped in agony.

"Ssh..calm down baby, give it a few seconds" he said in a gentle voice and caressed my head with his palms and peppered soft kisses all over my face to distract me.

"Manik, it's hurting" I yelped after a few seconds, when the pain wasn't receding.

"I know baby, see I'm not moving. Your body is in shock, let it adjust with me inside you; it will be okay, give it a few moments" he murmured soothingly. Indeed in another few moments, the after effects of the sharp jab was receding and I could feel his c*ock deep inside me, I could finally feel my muscles clench onto his c*ock tightly and I realised how much it was taking for him to not move.

"Baby, are you okay, is it getting better?" he asked gently after a while. I smiled at him and nodded with teary eyes.

"Good, then I will move gently now, and you stop me if it's hurting you, okay?" he instructed me carefully as I nodded slowly and hid my face in his chest in fearful anticipation. However, when he gently moved out from me, and moved back in again, it didn't hurt this time!

"Manik, it's not hurting me anymore!" I spoke in amazement and heard him chuckle before he placed a chaste kiss on my forehead and started moving to and fro inside me.

Slowly as he developed pace, that same feeling of heat and pleasure took over me, I was drowning in his love to a point of no return and the the faster he paced, the better I felt; Manik looked lost and dazed at that point as he started ramming inside me with all his force and every single time he hit my g-spot. I shivered in pleasure and a desire to fully be consumed by him lept in me.

"Faster, Manik" I chanted his name as I heaved taking deep breaths as I accommodated him inside me, everytime he thrust into me.

"Tell me how you want it, baby" he whispered-yelled while thrusting in an animal like pace now, his face was red and forehead sweaty, there was heat emanating from him, and I was feeling like he was taking me up an impossibly high flight and once we reach the peak, we'd fall freely from there.

"Take me roughly, Manik; show me how much you love me" I answered in between jagged breaths and no sooner I said that, I felt him enter me so hard that I felt like I blacked out for a few second as I came onto him with all that I had; this orgasm and the release consumed me wholly and I could barely open my eyes; Manik was still pounding on me and in another couple of minutes I felt his warm liquid smear inside me as he came crashing into my arms. Our foreheads were soaked in sweat beads and they mingled as he rested his on mine.

"Nandini, you're an enchantress" he murmured as he slowly slid off me and settled on the bed next to me.

"I am your enchantress" I corrected him lovingly and pecked on his lips with eyes closed; I barely had the energy to keep my eyes open now.

He cocooned me into him and hugged me tight, I felt his muscles relaxing too and realised we both needed some sleep. I was tired to the point of crashing, but even that couldn't take the ear to ear grin off my face. I nestled closer to him and found my lips just over his heart, I could feel the rhythmic beating of his heart, the strongest from there, and I don't know what came over me, but at that moment I felt, I was the sole guardian and safe keeper of that heart and I placed a chaste and deep kiss right over his heart. I think I heard him whimper, when I kissed him there, but I'm sure I was mistaken, why would it hurt him?

"I love you so much, Manik" that was the last thing I said, as I drifted off to sleep, feeling safe in his arms. The last thing I heard was Manik holding me close and whispering, "This happened too fast baby, I wanted to spend more time with you" I wondered what he meant, but before my frown could form on my face, I had drifted away to oblivion. I was going to ask him what he meant, the next morning. Ayappa, please make me remember this!
