Emotions and feelings clash within me, leaving nothing but chaos behind. I can’t think over how loud everything is in my head. Anger is still there, burning in my chest, and I’m still aroused by his near-nakedness. But everything else is a cacophony I can’t make out.
Especially not when he leans down while pulling me up by the wrists.
His lips crash onto mine, and it’s as though the rest of the world freezes. The long-awaited moment completely wrecks me. My head spins, and my skin prickles as delightful shivers roam within me. This feels like rain after an endless drought, like the Promised Land, like finding a golden ticket in my chocolate bar…
And it still isn’t fucking enough. It’ll never be enough.
Chapter 16
Itried. With everything I have, I tried not to give in, to stay strong and push her away. But there isn’t enough strength—within me or in this world—to stop this from happening.
The anger lodged in my chest fades, or rather, turns into something else. Something more incendiary. Something even less tamable. And I don’t want to bite her head off anymore, but bring her even closer to kiss her harder.
Starved, I do exactly that, pulling her into me to deepen my reach. She doesn’t waste a second opening up. At the first lick of my tongue on hers, she buckles with a muffled moan. I release her wrists to grab onto her, worried she’ll lose her balance. As soon as they’re free, her hands come up so her fingers can tangle in my hair, tugging me closer.
Fuck… We were in the midst of a fight, and now this is all I can think of. Her minty taste, the warmth of her tongue twirling with mine, the softness of her curves… This woman is the only person in the world who will ever have that much control over me and my emotions. “You’re aggravating,” I breathe out for only a second before retaking her mouth.
She pulls away, barely longer than I did, to say, “And you’re infuriating.”
The high emotions make me more dominant than I normally am. More demanding. More voracious. But she doesn’t seem to mind, pliant under me, taking everything I’m giving. We kiss as if we’ve never kissed before, as if we’ll never kiss again. Like two lost souls starving for each other, we give and take all that is physically possible.
My hands roam of their own volition over her dress, fingers clutching, digging, and pulling. Hers explore my back, then they follow the muscles up and down my front. Her soft palms have me delirious for more, teasing and greedy altogether.
When she runs out of skin to explore, she tugs at my towel with a groan, easily untying it and letting it fall to the side. With determination, she grabs my ass and pulls me against her. My erection strains freely against her lower belly, the thin dress serving as a mediocre and unwanted barrier. I’m already hard to a painful point, even though I came less than ten minutes ago.
Only this fucking woman could do this to me.
Her voraciousness pushes me further into mine. I take back the little control I allowed her to have. My hands seek what’s beneath her dress and fill themselves with the softness of her ass. I press and knead, realizing there’s still plenty to toy with despite her weight loss. One of my hands aims lower, slithering between her legs from behind, and I pass a couple of fingers right between her thighs over the lacy fabric that shields her pussy. She moans my name into our kiss, trembling onto me. Fuck, she’s already drenched.
“My greedy little dork,” I grunt.
I let go of her ass so I can pull her dress up, bunching it at her waist, and return my hands to their rightful place. When I lift her enough to press my cock onto her soaked cunt, she lets out a soft cry.
“Aah, Lex…” she whimpers, ripping her face away to breathe.
More. I want more of everything. More of her moans, more of her pleas, more of her taste…
Still starving, I retreat to the smooth skin of her neck, kissing her there. My beard must feel good there because she squirms against me, desperate for more. And since I can’t refuse her anything, I run my tongue from her clavicle to her jaw. It makes her so fucking weak in the knees that she has to hook an arm around my neck for balance.
Her hips writhe into me, languorously sliding her aching center against my cock while I keep exploring whatever skin I can access, leaving no inch unkissed or unattended.
When I return to her lips, she welcomes me with a whimper. Then, like the little fucking tease she is, she sends her free hand between us to wrap it around my length, knowing exactly what to do to drive me mad. An uncontrollable instinct to penetrate has my hips thrusting forward, like a fucking animal. Precum seeps out at her touch, and she spreads it on the round, smooth head.
We’re doing this, aren’t we? If we aren’t, I’ll get blisters trying to fix this in the shower.
She motions to lift herself higher, so I help her bring her legs around my bare waist. Wrapped around me tightly, she deepens our kiss, as ravenous as I am. Yes, we’re doing this. There’s no going back. Not anymore. I take her to the bed and lay her on it, in the mess of her things.
I can’t believe I broke when she was finally packing her things and leaving. My goal was in reach, there for me to take, but I caved at the last possible moment.
The finality of it was too much to bear. Had she gone back to her apartment, it would have been the end of us. I would never have gone back to Kelex, to make sure I’d never come across her, and there would have been no more opportunities to rekindle our romance. Nothing but endless months of depression, of having to remind myself why I need to stay away from her.
Instead, we’re kissing, my hips lodged between her legs, about to fuck.
Desperate to get more, she thrusts in rhythm against me, languorous, yearning. “Baby,” she moans with need.
“I know… I’ll take care of you.”
My hand grazes up her thighs, over the impossibly smooth skin, and then it dives between them. The wet lace is easy to slip to the side, but I can’t resist the urge to run two fingers along her dripping slit. She’s so fucking slick, so greedy for it, that I feel less embarrassed about the precum that can’t seem to stop dripping down my length.
