Different

Chapter Seventeen

Ruby gently grabbed onto Sapphire's waist, pulling her as close as she could without making things awkward. She carefully pushed her onto a wall and pinned her there, making sure she didn't hurt her. The other just stared, dumbfounded at the gesture. Ruby almost immediately kissed Sapphire in a way to let her know that she also felt a wanting sensation, that it was crawling through her skin, that it was burning inside of her, the flames intensifying as the seconds passed.
Within seconds, Sapphire was kissing back with just as much emotion.
They stayed like this, not wanting to attempt anything the other might not want. Then it became too much for them to wait.
As Sapphire opened her mouth slightly to take a breath, Ruby's tongue gently flicked her bottom lip. Gasping, Sapphire opened her mouth to allow Ruby access. Their tongues danced in a delicate fight to win dominance over the other's. It was sloppy, and not at all perfect, but they couldn't care less at the moment. All they could think about was this moment, this time in history, where it seemed as if nothing could tear them apart.
Sapphire gripped onto Ruby's thick curls, pulling her closer and the seconds went by, then Ruby grabbed Sapphire by the back of her thighs and lifted her up so that her legs were around her waist. This broke their kiss for a second or two, but they were immediately back at it once Sapphire was secure. Ruby's lips began to move downwards bit by bit, slowly moving from her girlfriend's lips to her jawline, across to the skin between her ear and neck, and then fully planting hungry kisses onto the crook of her neck and anywhere that would make Sapphire whimper or gasp.

"Ruby.."

The way she spoke her name almost drove the other insane. Sapphire's tone was needing, begging almost, for more. All Ruby found herself capable of doing was intensifying her kisses, not daring to move any lower than Sapphire's sternum. She began to gently nip at the tender skin of the smaller girl, causing Sapphire to shiver and whimper more than she already was. Then Ruby found the spot where Sapphire was most sensitive on her skin. She began to gently nibble on it, proceeding to kiss and nuzzle and suck on it until a dark mark was all that was left as a memory of this moment.
Sapphire had been reduced to a shivering, whimpering puddle of gasps and begging for more, and Ruby had to admit that she loved seeing her this way, but they chose to stop before things got too intense. Ruby slowly let Sapphire down from her waist, and once she was down, she began to pepper Ruby's neck with featherlike kisses, all searching for the spots Ruby liked best.
Unfortunately, before she could find the spots, Ruby's phone rang. She had a total of seven missed calls. Answering the phone, Ruby looked at Sapphire and told her she had to leave to help out at home.
"Duty calls." Ruby spoke in a cheerful tone.
"This isn't over, Ru~" Sapphire said in a flirtatious manner that almost startled Ruby. She had never heard this tone from her.
"Until next time, my dear." Ruby replied. Then she got in a serious tone.
"Please keep in mind what we talked about earlier, though. Don't starve yourself. You're beautiful." Her last remark was playful, "Maybe those marks in your neck will remind you how beautiful you really are, Sapph."
And, with that, Ruby had left to go home. Sapphire offered to take her, but Ruby insisted on walking. After all, she was an athlete.

Then the sudden realization of what Ruby had last said hit Sapphire. She ran to a mirror only to see her neck covered in small hickies here and there, and all she could do was giggle. She wasn't even mad.
