Postmodern Paradise [For Cleo]

Cleo wiggled her shoulders several times with a playful little grin on her lips when he asked what she had in mind. It was a teasing, little noncommittal gesture. She bit her lip and giggled softly when he agreed about keeping their clothes off the whole time. Of course she was joking...mostly. Eventually she supposed they would want to leave the room, but right now she was happy to be alone with no cameras and no clothes.

All his little kisses made her feel like a Goddess and while it was a new feeling she was definitely enjoying the attention and affection. He was her man now, her fiance, her soon to be husband, and he made her feel like royalty. And those lips of his were so damn tempting, she wanted them constantly on her. Not to mention that she had recently found out that he sure knew how to use that sexy mouth.

She grinned brightly as he suggested the jacuzzi and she slipped her hand into his, using his help to step out of the tub. "Yes, you very much do." She said coyly, moving to kiss him, her wet body pressed against his.

Cleo hummed softly as he kissed along her neck, even naked she felt safe in his arms.

"Wait, what!?" She said with a playful incredulous tone when he said he'd never been in a hot tub before. "How have you never been in one?" Honestly that was mind boggling. She stepped in, feeling the familiar tinge of the heat for a moment before she got used to the high temperature and she sighed pleasantly as the warm water rushed over her. The tub had been very nice but this was just a little different.

"Well I'm glad you like it." She said with a smile as Alex relaxed into it and moved to sit next to him, her hands moved back and forth over the bubbles.

"You were worried?" She asked with the tiniest little frown, turning to meet his gaze. "It wasn't...weird." She replied. "I just..." She sighed. "I'm a classic 'good girl', 'rule follower', and I can't help but get a little anxious when situations get...iffy. I'm basically just terrified of getting into trouble." She admitted. "But that's a me thing, not a you thing. I thought it was so sweet that you offered to help and had something more valuable to offer than simple words of comfort. You acted, and I admired that."

She moved then, one leg swinging over his to straddle him, unless he stopped her. "Babe, honestly I can't imagine you doing anything that would scare me off." She told him, her hands stroking his chest. "I mean, if what we just did didn't scare me then I think we'll be okay." She added with a little wink and then turned more serious. "Seriously, Alex. I love you so much. I'm not going anywhere."

She nodded in understanding as he explained why he had never been in one and she felt kind of guilty. She certainly hadn't meant to be...pretentious or anything but now she felt a little spoiled. Her family wasn't wealthy by any means but they hadn't struggled for money, at least not most of the time.

She kissed his cheek as he explained the situation with the meds. "I'm not judging you." She assured him. "There are things we'll learn about each other as we go, but I'm here and committed and I don't plan on running at the first sign of conflict. I promise. I trusted that you knew what you were talking about when it came to the situation with Blake."

She smirked when he said she was killing him and her hands ran down towards his abdomen before moving back up again. She thought about what he said, trying to process what it meant. "But..." She said a little hesitantly and guiltily. "What does that...what that does mean about this?" She asked, feeling suddenly very self conscious. "I mean, like, if you don't form relationships then...what is this to you?" She asked, motioning between the two of them, a look of concern on her face. She didn't move away from him though, her hand rested on his shoulders and her thumb moved softly over his skin. She was still here.

Cleo nodded her head softly as he explained, just taking in all the information. It wasn't something she had expected coming into this marriage but she meant what she had said. Her feelings for him were too strong at this point and she had no intention of walking away. It would be something they might have to work though and that was okay. She cracked a smile when he said she'd never have to worry about him wandering.

She moved her fingers to gently brush his hair away from his face and she looked lovingly into his striking blue eyes. "As long as your love for me is real then that's all I need." She told him softly. "Marriage is a partnership, you don't have to go through your struggles alone. I want to be here to help you, in whatever capacity I can. Whether it's this or your past addictions or anything else. Past, present, and future. I'll help carry your burdens. I'm yours, your partner in life, your confidant, your lover."

Her fingers moved softly over his lips, feeling the hard metal of his lip ring against the softness of his skin and leaned forward to kiss him. She stopped before their lips touched, hovering mere centimeters from his lips. "I love you." She whispered tenderly, letting him decide if he was in the mood to kiss her right now or not.

That was all she needed to hear. She just needed to be sure that what they had between them was real and not faked on his part and he spoke with such sincerity that of course she believed him. She softened into his touch and as his lips met hers her hands cupped his face softly, her fingers behind his ears and thumbs just in front of them as she poured all of her love into that kiss.

She felt like together they could do anything. They just needed to trust each other.

She felt the emotion overwhelm her and tears pricked her eyes as they kissed. She just loved him so damn much.

The emotion and love she felt was so intense that she didn't think she could contain it. It felt like it was trying to burst out of her skin and she didn't know how to release it. How could she possible show Alex what she was feeling in this moment? How could you express that much love for a person? She pressed her body deeper against his, her hands gripped just a little tighter and one moved into his hair, her thighs even clenched him a little closer. It was as if she was afraid he would suddenly disappear and she clung to him almost desperately.

As he pulled back from the kiss her chest rose and fell with heavy breaths that she didn't know she needed to take. She couldn't let him go. At his words she just couldn't control it anymore and she started crying. Tears fell quickly down her cheeks and she struggled to breathe, she buried his face into the crook of his shoulder to hide her crying face and started to full on sob. She couldn't control it.

Cleo let out a choked little laugh through her sobs and nuzzled deeper into his shoulder, not wanting him to see her crying face. She took deep, shuddering breaths to try to calm herself. "You didn't...do...anything." She said between sobs and she took some more deep breaths before finally settling down into softer tears that she was still trying to halt.

Her arms hooked under his and curled her hands to rest on his shoulder blades as she hugged him. "I'm just so happy. And so overwhelmed with my love for you. I never knew I could love someone this much." She finally replied in a whisper before placing a kiss against his neck. "I'm sorry." She apologized for breaking down and crying.

Cleo starting laughing into his shoulder, her body shaking softly with the action. "Why is it that I don't think you're kidding?" She asked, smiling.

She pulled away from him then, stepping towards the center of the jacuzzi and dipping her body all the way under the water, washing the tears off her face. She came back up, bring her hands up over her hair to keep it out of her face and rubbing the water away from her eyes before smiling at him.

She didn't even feel shy, standing here completely naked in front of him. He made her feel beautiful and sexy.

Cleo definitely noticed his attention and she bit her lip and smiled at him. Her fingers moved to her shoulders as she kept eye contact on him and then delicately let her fingers fall down her body, slowly and intentionally.

“Do you like what you see, Lover?” She asked with a little smirk, as she let her hand move between her legs.
