I never knew that one word would be my downfall as she leaned up with a teasing smile on her face and whispered. “Hungry?”
My body completely seized.
It was like every single nerve ending fucking exploded, and all I could do was blink down at her and wonder how the hell I was supposed to be the guy that took control when for once, I wanted to give it completely up to the vixen standing in front of me with her red lingerie and her open smile.
Maybe she knew.
Maybe she was just as desperate as I was, because she pressed her hands against my chest, softly, and then drew slow circles with her fingertips making her way to my shoulders, gripping them, as she wrapped an arm around my neck and pulled me down. “You can kiss me now.”
“I wasn’t waiting for permission,” I growled.
“Then what were you waiting for?”
“My heart stopped beating; I was waiting for it to catch up.”
She sucked in a shocked breath, I took advantage, molding my lips to hers as I pulled the rest of her against me. The material didn’t hide her body heat. Rather, it seemed intensified, it made her skin like molten lava as I drove my tongue inside her mouth, imagining the time when it was all of me touching her, inside her, not parts.
Me.
Her pulse beat erratically beneath my touch as I cupped her neck, making it easier to kiss her, to deepen the kiss so much that I tasted heaven on her tongue and wanted to confess every fucking sin I’d ever committed in order to taste more.
She broke off the kiss. “I had a plan.”
I smirked. “Oh yeah? What was this plan?” I toyed with the straps of lingerie near her neck already mentally calculating how fast I could rip them from her body, already thinking about the knife around two feet from my right hand. It would be an easy cut. Too easy.
She let out a light laugh and shook her head as her cheeks bloomed with heat. “I forgot.”
“So soon?” I teased.
“Your kiss does a good job of making me forget.”
“Seems I need to work on my kiss, because I need you to remember this… more than I need my next breath, dorogaya.” I kissed her hard, gripped her by the ass and pulled her against me. “I need you to remember us, always, forever. Promise me.”
“Why—”
I cut her off with another kiss then whispered against her mouth. “Promise.”
She nodded, her lips moving against mine soft like velvet, stirring a slow burn in my body as I tried to regain control of every single instinct I had to run the other way. “Promise.”
“Dorogaya.” I said it softly this time. “I think, you are the only thing on this earth that could actually terrify me.”
She stopped kissing me and wrapped her arms around me.
My love.
My sweetheart.
My life.
Was hugging me.
I hugged her back, my heart in my throat, my future uncertain. All I knew was that she was the reason.
For everything.
“Please, Andrei,” She said in a hoarse voice. “Let me give myself to you.”
“I don’t think I’m worthy of that gift.”
“And I don’t think you’re in a position to say no,” She fired back softly. “Unless that’s not what you—”
I kissed her soundly, picked her up by the ass and set her on the counter. As our tongues tangled, I was moaning, growling, gasping for air; then again, so was she.
My body tightened in all the wrong and right places, needing release, feeding off each kiss like a drug bringing both of us to the point of no return. A kiss here, a kiss there, biting, nibbling… It was like taking hit after hit of heroin and knowing that I would get so high off her that I wouldn’t think.
I would just do.
And she would see it.
She would see all of me.
Have all of me.
She would hold the one thing no one else did.
The last pure part I’d been left with.
I broke away from her, chest heaving, body on fire as my length pressed against my jeans. The problem was my body knew what it wanted, and my mind got in the way. It always got in the way.
Alice licked her lips where I’d kissed her, then hopped down from the counter and grabbed my hand.
I blindly followed as she brought me into my own bedroom. Darkness descended.
And I was reminded of where I was birthed.
In Hell itself.
I flinched when she closed the door.
It was dark, so dark.
And then her hand was back on my chest.
I exhaled as I wrapped my fingers around hers.
There was enough light coming in from the bathroom to see her face, her perfect body, and the small smile that teased her trembling lips as she backed away from me and reached behind her.
My lips parted in a rough exhale followed by a dirty curse as the lingerie very slowly fell from her body to a pool by her bare feet.
