I don’t breathe either.
Her hands snake up to my hair and a shiver of arousal runs through me, devouring me completely and enticing me to press myself up to her wet body.
We’re fighting.
A fight with lips, teeth and tongues.
A fight between two broken souls.
A fight I’m destined to lose.
Before I completely lose control, I back away quickly, pushing her away from me. Her lost expression breaks my heart but I can’t do this. I can’t have her this way.
Not if she won’t be completely mine.
I close my eyes and turn from her, into the kitchen.
Please leave now, Riley.
The sound of the door closing makes me snap around. Riley approaches me in silence.
“I need this,” she tells me. And then she takes my hands and places them on her hips. I squeeze her tightly. “I need it right now,” she says, edging dangerously close to my body.
“You don’t really want it,” I say, a last-ditch attempt before I jump into a bottomless pit.
She caresses my face and speaks directly into my lips.
“I just want to forget everything, please.”
And right now, all I want is to forget too.
