I stand there, taking her in when Lily speaks again.
“Was there anything you wanted, Sebastian?” she asks huskily.
“There are lots of things I want, but they will have to wait. Preferably, after your brother wins that championship.”
She groans and turns away from me, dragging a hand through her hair. She takes a few steps, creating distance between us.
“Okay, then. I can’t look at you.”
I can tell she’s joking by her tone, but she’s fighting the pull just like I am.
Ever since that countdown started, knowing we’re close to getting what we want is the sweetest torture.
Craving.
Hope.
Desperation.
It’s all there.
I go after her and decide that seven days are way too long.
I can’t go a minute without knowing how her lips taste on mine.
“You know what? Fuck waiting.”
I grab her around the elbow and pull her to me, crashing my lips to hers.
As soon as I kiss her, I can’t believe that there was ever a time I could deny myself this.
She feels fucking perfect against me.
I circle my arms around her body, holding her tightly against me whilst I explore her mouth.
She kisses me back with the same determination, mumbling a “finally” against my lips as her hands grasp a hold of my hair.
I grab her around her thighs, lifting her, never breaking our kiss, before putting her down on the kitchen table.
“Fuck, Lily,” I groan against her, coming up for some air before I kiss down her throat. She pulls me harder against her, eager for my touch.
When she moans my name, I nearly combust right on the spot.
It’s like the most wonderful music ever.
A song you’ll never tire of.
She pulls my face towards hers, smashing our lips together again as her hands grasp my face.
After what must be minutes, we break apart, our foreheads resting against each other.
“What happened to that precious self-control?” she whispers against me.
“Seeing you in my jersey again. I’ve never wanted to kiss you more than the first time I saw you in it,” I tell her honestly.
I’ll never forget that moment with her.
It was one of the first moments on this London adventure of hers, and I knew I stood no chance against my feelings for her.
