An indecipherable look crossed his face as his eyes melted to a warm pool of midnight water. I waited for his answer and he hesitated for a moment, looking over my face and then my lips. I had no idea what I was doing.
“Are you sure?” His voice was husky.
I nodded, “please.”
“Christ,” he mumbled before pulling me closer to him so we were nose to nose.
“I don’t know how…”
But then I did. His lips met mine and a content sound came from my throat at how right this closeness felt. On instinct, I leaned in closer and he deepened the kiss, his hands grabbing my waist in a solid hold. I was very glad I had asked for what I wanted.
My first kiss was amazing. I didn’t have a comparison chart, but I could feel my entire body growing warm as that burning ember sensation grew and my body urged me closer. I wanted to taste more of him and my tongue swept across his lips as he let out a low rumble. I found myself tangling my hands inside his hair until he finally pulled away, his cheeks flushed and eyes dark.
“Shit Maya,” he whispered.
I blushed, “that was amazing, I mean, at least for me…”
He kissed me again for my answer and this kiss had a slightly different feel. I could almost feel the tension under his skin and I was shaking from the excitement in my own body. My body was keyed up for something and I had no idea what. It was like someone had filled my veins with gasoline and set fire to it.
“Sai,” a warning voice called from the kitchen. I blushed and looked up, unashamed, to see Marco leaning against the doorframe. Sai groaned and put his head against my neck, I brushed his hair gently.
“Maya, beautiful, I’m going to go to bed, I don’t trust myself right now,” he whispered, his eyes dark.
Trust himself? Well, I trusted him. If he thought that was best...
I kissed his lips in a barely there movement. “Thanks for my first kiss.”
He pulled me closer before placing me down on the couch and striding away. I could totally see how much he liked me from here. My lips curled into a smile and that was how Marco captured me.
“Hi,” I whispered as he lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. I could still feel the weird energy under my skin and Marco groaned in response to it.
“I feel…” I mumbled, not knowing how to describe it. It was an odd feeling, like heat was trying to burst from my stomach but at the same time, my core was tightening with need.
He placed me on the kitchen counter and looked at me. He spoke softly, “how do you feel?”
I bit my lip not knowing how to describe it, his hand brushed my leg and I shivered. His entire body stilled as he looked up at me with some type of realization I didn’t understand. My toes curled as he stepped closer to me and ran his nose along my collar bone.
“Fuck,” he mumbled.
“What?” I asked seriously.
“You’re just starting to go into heat with your birthday so close,” he groaned and held me close. “It will be really… interesting when it fully sets in.”
“What’s heat?” I frowned, “isn’t that for animals?”
“Yes,” he spoke softly, “or shifters. We don’t know what you are, so I have no idea how this will work, we need to work on that today…”
His hands smoothed up my legs in a distracted fashion, his gaze outside and the movement had a hot rush flooding through me. A whimper came from my throat as his head snapped toward mine.
“Do you think you can go to sleep right now, honey?” He asked softly, his chest doing that odd rumbling again. My skin was prickling and I felt antsy, shifting slightly as my nipples tightened painfully. I felt my nails dig into his forearm slightly as his eyes darkened to nearly black.
I frowned, “I’m not sure, I feel very warm.”
He nodded and pinned me with a look, “how bad is it?”
I didn’t know what he was talking about but my body felt bad. I whispered, “bad.” I just knew that if he would touch me, it would fix some of this. I leaned forward into him.
Marco seemed to snap to some decision because he lifted my body up and walked the two of us towards the comfortable family room. I let out a small sound at the odd feeling of our pelvises connecting as I straddled him. He totally liked me also.
