She tried to nudge him with her elbow but he caught on quick, dodging her assault with a sly grin as he resumed playing. Aurora chuckled, her focus intent on the game pad in her hands, her fingers working rapidly to press the buttons.
She wasn't sure how he managed to convince the hospital staff but they allowed him give her the respite she didn't know she needed. All through the week, Ryan had introduced her to painting, playing bingo with the elderly, throwing darts and now they were currently battling each other in a car race.
Aurora couldn't remember the last time she had laughed so hard or ate as much. She stretched forward, popping another pizza slice into her mouth even as she kept hitting the buttons of the game pad.
Somehow, he'd been able to convince her to eat anything she wanted. She was sure to gain some pounds after this but it was worth it.
The game ended with him taking the upper hand again but she smiled. Ryan turned to face her, grinning cheekily,
"You're not ready to accept defeat?"
"Never," She stuck her tongue at him and he smirked.
Her eyes widened when she realized what he was about to do but she was too late to stop it. He attacked her before she could blink, tickling her sides. Aurora screamed and wheezed, laughing so hard that tears began to spring from her eyes.
She truly couldn't remember when last she had laughed this much.
Later that night, Ryan snuck them to the rooftop again. The moon was bright and beautiful was his excuse when she complained that it would be too cold. Luckily, he borrowed a large blanket from one of the nurses. Aurora reckoned that the doctor must have owed him a really huge favour for them to allow him such liberties.
"I told you it would be cold," She muttered, snuggling closer into the blanket as the wind blew heavily.
Ryan just smiled, tipping his head back and staring at the night sky. He was right though, the moon was big and bright tonight, accompanied by the many twinkling stars.
"I feel sad," She suddenly said, causing him to look in her direction, "I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm not sure I want to go back. I've had so much fun this week that the idea of returning back to my life terrifies me."
Ryan hummed, bobbing his head along with her words, "Me too."
She snapped her head to face him, surprised by his admission. He gave her a sly grin,
"What? Do you think I just enjoy the idea of pummelling people's faces everyday?"
"Well, you certainly look like you do."
He made an expression of mock hurt, placing a hand on his chest, "I'm offended, flower."
She chuckled, returning her gaze back to the sky, "At least I get to dance again, I don't think I've ever stayed this long without moving my feet."
"We climbed up here," He remarked sarcastically and she rolled her eyes muttering,
"You know what I meant."
He sighed, leaning against the concrete wall behind them, "Tell me, flower. What do you want out of life, besides the shitty dance you do?"
She threw him an offended glare and he raised a hand in surrender. Aurora rolled her eyes again and faced forward. Pennsylvania was a lot beautiful than Toronto, she noticed. The sky was clearer and you could see the stars more brightly. Back home everything was obstructed by the clouds or maybe she was just too busy to look up.
The thought made her chest heavy and her shoulders sag. Aurora shook her head sadly, Ryan's question bringing more despair than she would've imagined,
"I don't know, my mother is the one who maps out my entire life and I-I guess I'm meant to follow her lead," She knew she sounded pathetic, even to her own ears and she winced when he made a disappointed noise. "What about you?" She queried, shifting to face him, "What do you want out of life?"
His lips curled, "Unfortunately, only I get to ask the questions, darling," She smothered him with one of her best death glare and he sighed, scratching his chin, "I don't know. I assume I'll keep boxing until someone better comes along and I use that excuse to resign."
Although, he said it with a laugh, it still didn't resound well. It felt like it was something he was forced to say even when he didn't mean it.
"But don't you want to-" She broke off, shrugging, "I don't know, go to school or something. You're still young and you have a lot of potential."
"I graduated from college two years ago."
She blinked dumbly, her lips parting. Well, she didn't know that. Come to think of it, she didn't know anything about Ryan at all. Asides the fact that they used each other for their sexual purposes, their personal lives remained just that...personal.
So why were they trying to unearth the Pandora's box and make things more awkward between them?
Aurora cleared her throat, "I guess we're similar in a way after all. Just two fools with no idea what they want to do with their lives."
His smirk widened and he leaned forward so that their faces were close, "I do know what I want right now."
The air charged with a foreign type of electricity but it was one she welcomed. Her eyes flickered to his deliciously looking mouth and she gulped,
"Oh yeah?" She whispered lowly, "And what's that?"
He moved with agility, kneeling over her and pressing her back to the ground as he cupped the side of her face, "I'm looking at her right now and I'm imagining all the ways I can make her scream with pleasure."
The budding pressure between her legs tightened and she sunk her teeth into her bottom lip, "You wanna know something?" She stretched forward, running her lips against his earlobes, "She wants that too."
Ryan let out a near animalistic growls, wrapping his fingers around her dainty neck as he forced her back onto the ground and claimed her lips. Aurora gasped with pleasure when he ripped the blanket away from her body, shivering when the cold air touched her exposed skin.
He wasted no time in sinking two fingers inside of her and she released a pleased cry. Their hands moved with urgency, this wasn't a romantic or slow lovemaking, it was hard, fast and impatient fucking.
She tugged his t-shirt off and he pulled off her hospital gown in one swift motion. His hands shook as he undid his belts until finally he was free, completely naked like her. Underneath the warm glow of the moonlight, he looked like something carved from a painting and he was all hers.
Aurora lips tugged into a small grin at the thought.
He gave one slow once over, a look of pure adoration in his gaze and then he smiled, "Beautiful." He claimed one of her nipples into his mouth and she cried out, sinking her fingers into his silky hair and tugging.
"Oh, Ryan. Oh, please," She murmured loudly, spreading her legs wider apart as he pumped his fingers in and out of her. Her warm juice poured out of her center onto the cold slab of concrete below them.
She felt the head of his cock press against her and wrapped her thighs around him urging him closer. When he sank into her, burying himself to the hilt, her lips parted in a silent scream and he grunted gutturally, burying his face into her neck and pressing butterfly kisses all over the area.
That night, Ryan fucked her on that spot again and again and again until her throat hurt from crying and her legs trembled terribly. One thing was sure, she was definitely never going to forget her stay in Pennsylvania.
