“I need a reason to stay. Show me you want this as much as I do.”
He paused, then with a passion I hadn’t felt in such an achingly long time, he brushed my hair back behind my ear and bent down, pressing his lips to mine.
The kiss was stiff, but he was determined. As was I. If I wanted to be with Desi, I needed to push past my pain of that night. It wasn’t him. It was the candy that had done that to him—to us.
His hands found mine, and we laced them with each other. Then, something happened. He opened his mouth, and his tongue moved past his fangs, and I reacted. I parted my lips and invited him to taste me. My tongue found his, and one kiss turned into two, and two turned into three.
He let go of my hand and began exploring my body. The familiar feel of his fingers tracing my arms, my hips, and the rest of me was heaven. I pushed against him, and he paused. He pulled his face away from mine and looked down at me. “Should we be doing this here?” His Adam’s apple dipped with nervousness.
“I missed this.”I smiled.
“Missed what?” His eyebrows went up with pleasant surprise.
“The delightful chaos that is you.”
“You like chaos? I can give you chaos.” He bent his knees and cupped my ass, lifting me. I let out a small squeal of excitement as I wrapped my arms around his neck. “But let’s take this chaos somewhere else.” He took a step, and our eyes locked in horror as he lost balance, slipping on the blood.
It happened so fast neither of us could react. I let out a scream as we fellbackward, splashing into the bath together!
I went completely under, taking water into my mouth. I let go of him and flung my limbs about in an attempt to reach the surface. It wasn’t deep, but he had landed on me, and I had to scramble to get from under him.
I came up like an explosion, and Desi joined me a second later, gasping and spitting out water.
I choked, trying to get the taste of the water out of my mouth. There was a moment when we gained control of the situation and looked at each other. I was standing, but the bath was deep enough that only my shoulders were visible if I stood on the bottom. For him, standing beside me, it reached his chest.
“You turned the water red!” I giggled.
“Me? Are you sure it wasn’t you?” He pulled me into his arms and kissed me again as if the passion from moments before hadn’t been ruined. I agreed with him, kissing him back.
His hands dipped under the water and resumed exploring my body. My dress flowed up and around me, giving him easier access to the parts he was interested in.
“Are you not wearing a bra?” he whispered. I ignored him, and when his hands went further down my body, he paused at my hips. “Are you not wearing panties? This whole time?”
“Someone stole them.” I shrugged.
“I guess I’m glad you didn’t tell me. I would have been struggling to kill that vampire if I had a hardon the entire time.”
“Do you have one now?” I smirked, my hand going to his wet chest. His Iron Maiden shirt was almost clean now from the sudden bath.
“You’re more than welcome to see for yourself.”
I gulped. Did I want that? I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I reopened them, I saw Desi staring down at me, watching to see my reaction. I knew then that he would never force me to do something I didn’t want, ever again.
Candy or not.
I nodded and moved my hands below the water, stopping at his jeans.
“Shower sex is fun and all, but this has potential,” I said, finding the buttons.
“That it does. Are you sure?”
I popped a button and then looked up at him. “Yes.”
“What do I do? Do you want to take the reigns? Or…” he trailed off, looking lost. I rolled my eyes and pulled his pants apart. The warm water made the blue jeans hard to maneuver, but I was determined.
“Stop overthinking. I want to go back to how we were before.” I shoved his pants down, taking his boxers with them. His cock was hard and pointed directly at me.
“And how was that?” He reached for the hem of my dress and tugged upward. I lifted my arms to let him remove it from me. He tossed the dress onto the tile beside one of the bodies.The splat of it hitting the floor only distracted me for a moment.
