My head snapped to the opposite side, feeling as empty as the darkness that surrounded us. “All the way up top, on a decent sized plateau.”
“It’s beautiful up here,” she observed.
It was.“Yeah,” I agreed.
This was the closest I could get to the stars. Not only that, but it was also peaceful. From afar, the Pacific Ocean glittered in the great distance. Each time I came here, no one ever was around. So I made this little piece of land my own, my sanctuary.
“Arguing with you won’t solve anything. Let’s just drop this whole thing and forget about it,” I told her. Might as well. I thought we could have fun, and at the same time, maybe get a chance to know each other better since we’d be living in the same roof, technically. That was wishful thinking. It was never going to happen with our heads butting in every turn.
“Right, ‘cause I could just easily forget that you tried to get into my pants.”
Her barbed comment made me look at her face. We were inches apart and not to mention, in the dark, but even then, she still looked beautiful. Could she really blame me—any man for that matter—to want her this badly? She was feisty and vivacious… and I liked pretty much anything that was attached and associated with her. Even her crazy mean attitude.
“I’m sure you could, Liv. Let’s go.” I offered my hand for her to take so I could guide her back inside the car, but she was reluctant, staring at my hand like it was made out of poison ivy.
Licking her lips, slowly meeting my gaze, she whispered, “I never said I was immune to your advances.”
Mixed signals—she was the queen of it—and it was fucking with my mind. Again and again. One heated look from her and my tense body revved up, hot blood circuited all over me, directing to the one place that always got me going where Olivia was concerned. Down south.
This was inevitable… and her come hither looks were affecting me greatly. I was going to bite… and I hoped that she would have enough sense to stop me because I was too far in to back out the second I touched her. Closing the gap in between us, we were barely grazing each other’s skin, but I felt her everywhere. My skin prickled, aware of each breath, each pounding heartbeat, each gasp, each sigh. I heard it all.
Bending my head down, I placed my face against the side of her head, smelling her like a bloodhound, as if her smell was my survival. Gently pressing against her body, she was half leaning, partially sitting on the hood. One hand was cupping her cheek while the other was holding her hip, making sure that she had nowhere to go.
“You’re so fucking sexy…” I murmured, getting lost at the feeling of being this close to getting what I wanted. “Give me a taste of your lips, Liv,” I begged, kissing her cheek with a gentleness that I hadn’t used with anyone before. Her skin felt like silk and I wanted more, so much more.
“Don’t. You. Dare. Kiss. Me.”
“It’s only a kiss,” I whispered against her skin. With my hand still cradling her cheek, I left tiny whisper kisses against it, slowly leading me towards where her lips called upon me to devour.
“Why? So you can show me what those skanks taste like? No, thanks!” Her breathing hitched. She sounded shaky, unsure.
Her words didn’t do anything to me. In fact, her body was speaking to me, slowly ebbing away its defenses to let me in and take over. “I just want one, Olivia” I nipped her skin, making her body sag a bit before her hand pressed against my chest, nails almost scratching. “Give me just one…” Pushing my hips against hers, she let out a sharp moan before she uttered the wordno. When her legs gave out and parted to cradle me in between her groin, I pushed and ground into her excruciatingly. Her heat cast a spell on me, and fuck was I in a state of need.
We were both breathing so heavily, staring at each other, wide-eyed, knowing that if I stepped any further there was no taking anything back. “Your words tell me to stop—but your body is telling me to keep going.” I questioned her eyes, seeking her truth and not the lies she kept spouting at me. “So which should I believe? The mouth that’s telling me to go to Hell, or this body that’s panting for me, soaking my jeans with wetness?”
Her lips quivered. She was about to say something to reject me, but I pushed my hardness against her heat, evoking a deep moan from her. She wanted me, but her mind was telling her not to go through with it. The body was a power tool to use; it would never lie to me.
“You want this inside you, don’t you?” I pressed harder, thrusting as if fucking while holding her hip as I cupped her cheek with my other hand. Then I whispered into her ear, “This will feel so good in you, Liv. Just say yes and this will be all yours. All night—for as long as you want.” My heart was racing, my cock was enraged, and my need was profound.
She sobbed, moaning my name as she closed her eyes, hating the feeling of what I was doing to her, and yet, she couldn’t resist it. She couldn’t bring herself to stop me; not yet anyway. This dry fucking was working its way into her. Slowly.
CHAPTER14
Liv
Right now,I was wishing that I held some extraordinary super power, one where I could easily push him off without much effort on my part. My body was succumbing to him, but my mind reeled off, knowing that if I did, I would regret it; every second of it.
Liam…
Liam would kill me if I went through with this. Yes, we had agreed to date other people, but the agreement was to only engage socially and maybe slightly in the physical sense, not to full-on have sex with them. Well, it had been me who had made sure of that.
“Please—” I sobbed, knowing how my body would chastise me afterwards. “Stop,” I begged again.
Grey was panting so hard, and for the life of me, I couldn’t look straight into his eyes. I knew that, if I did, I would be lost in them, and I needed some sort of direction; a how-to map to snap some sense into this curling need that was taking over my body.
My fingers were digging into his skin through his shirt, needing him to stop, yet, at the same time, I wanted him to keep going, to see where this foreplay could lead us to. That would be too risky, though. Too much was at stake for me. Even though my body was tempting me to go through with this, I doubted I could ever forgive myself if I actually did allow it.
Grey kept teasing for another minute then he stopped, heaving on my neck as if he’d run a marathon. Silence surrounded us except for the loud thumping of our hearts hammering against our chests. For a second, I let myself think about what it would be like in his arms.
