I stared at him, my pupils shaking as he stared back.
He let go of my wrists, the sudden release making gasp, but before I could even think to move, his arms slid around my waist, pulling against him. My body collided with his, my heartbeat stumbling as the heat of his chest pressed into .
!!!!
He smirked, "This feeling where I want you to be obsessed with again," His hands slipped down. Dangerously down, ""All I want you to think about is ." And I felt a jolt of electricity run through .
It was too much
Too much!
My heart couldn’t handle it.
The closeness, the way his words seed to weave into my thoughts, taking hold of every coherent idea I had and twisting it into sothing else. Sothing that made want him in ways I wasn’t prepared to admit out loud.
"Too much," I whispered, feeling the heat bloom in my cheeks. My hands trembled at my sides, unsure of where to place them. Should I push him away? Hold him closer? My heart couldn’t handle this intensity, this tension that seed to crackle between us
Hael’s lips brushed close to my ear, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. "Too much what?" he murmured, his breath warm against my skin. "Hmm?"
I swallowed hard, my pulse racing in my throat. There was a challenge in his voice, like he knew exactly what he was doing to , how my body was betraying with every rapid heartbeat, every shaky breath. His hand rested at the small of my back, his fingers pressing lightly into the fabric of my shirt, sending a wave of heat through .
"I—" I didn’t know what to say. My head was spinning, thoughts scattering in every direction as I tried to make sense of this mont.
Was he teasing ? What for?!?!
"What are you doing?" I asked, "What does this an?" I wanted clear answers.
Before I could gather my thoughts, he leaned in closer, his lips barely brushing my temple, a featherlight touch that set my nerves on fire. "You’re all I think about, Orenya," He whispered. His voice was softer now, the playfulness gone, replaced with sothing deeper, sothing that made my heart ache. "You don’t know how much of my thoughts are consud solely by you."
!!!
I couldn’t breathe. His words wrapped around , sinking deep into my chest, and I felt a warmth there that had nothing to do with his touch yet everything to do with him.
I looked up at him, my mouth dry, my thoughts a jumble of emotions I didn’t know how to process. "Hael, I..."
He didn’t let finish. His hand ca up, gently cupping my face, his thumb brushing over my cheek. His touch was tender, a stark contrast to the tension that had been building between us monts before. "I don’t care what happened in the past," He said, his voice low, steady. "I don’t care about anything except this." His eyes softened as he searched mine.
The way my pupils were shaking when I looked into his eyes mirrored how my heart throbbed.
The feeling inside my heart swelled. I could finally see where this was going.
"With or without these past mories, my answer remains the sa." He said , "I love you. I always have. Even when I shouldn’t have."
!!!
It was like a blow. An arrow to the heart. One that shot, pierced and then eliminated the whole world around us.
But the weight of his words hit like a wave, crashing over , leaving reeling.
Love
That word hung in the air between us, filling the space that had once been so full of uncertainty and fear. He loved —despite everything, despite all the hurt I had caused him.
"I..." My throat tightened, and I felt a sting in the back of my eyes. It was overwhelming, the way he was looking at , the way his love seed to wrap around like a safety net. I didn’t deserve it—I knew that much.
I lowered my gaze, my cheeks burning with the sudden intensity of the mont. "I don’t know if I... " I whispered, my voice barely audible.
"Don’t," He cut off. His hand tilted my chin up, forcing to et his eyes again, "Just tell how you feel. Leave everything else behind." I stared at him, "The past is gone. And we don’t have much ti now." His voice was so lovely, it got my body to tremble, "Tell ,"
My feelings?
"My feelings have been obvious since day one." I whispered,
"Say it," He demanded
"I..." I started again, my voice shaky, but I didn’t stop. "I love you too, Hael." The words ca out soft, almost fragile, as if speaking them aloud made them real, made them sothing I couldn’t take back. "I always have. So much that I can’t lay it out with words."
The smile that spread across his face was unlike anything I had ever seen before—full of warmth, of relief, of sothing deep and unspoken that had been buried between us for too long.
He pulled closer, his arms wrapping around . I leaned into him, feeling the steady beat of his heart against my own, the warmth of his body grounding in a mont.
Oh
How I’ve longed for this!
We stayed like that for a while. I could hear the steady rhythm of Hael’s heartbeat against my chest, feel the warmth of his skin seeping through the fabric of his clothes.
But then, slowly, Hael loosened his hold on . His hands slid from my back, lingering at my waist as we pulled apart, just enough to look at each other. His eyes softened as they locked onto mine, and I felt a familiar heat rise to my cheeks, my pulse quickening.
His gaze flicked to my lips for just a second, and my breath hitched.
I knew what was coming, and my heart fluttered in anticipation,
His hands shifted, one coming up to gently cradle my face, his thumb brushing lightly against my cheek. The touch was so soft, so careful, as if he was afraid I might disappear if he moved too quickly.
I gulped softly
Hael leaned in, and my pulse raced, my entire body tingling with the nearness of him. The anticipation was almost unbearable, the space between us shrinking until his breath was warm on my lips.
It was barely a touch at first but it sent a shiver down my spine, every nerve in my body coming alive at once.
Then the kiss deepened, still soft but more sure now, more real. His lips were warm, tender, moving slowly, savoring each second
My eyes fluttered shut, and I lted into the kiss. His other hand slid from my cheek, down to the back of my neck, holding gently but firmly, like he didn’t want to let go. My own hands, which had been frozen in hesitation, found their way to his chest, fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt
It may have started slow, soft, but it had started and it began to build up heat, a slow burn spreading through my body. Hael’s hand slid from the back of my neck to tangle in my hair, his fingers tightening slightly as he pulled closer. The gentle press of his lips shifted, becoming more demanding, more insistent.
His lips moved against mine with more intensity. sothing that made my entire body ache with need. His hand at my waist tightened, pulling even closer until there was no space left between us, his chest firm against mine, the heat radiating from him making my head spin.
I gasped against his mouth, and in that brief mont, he took the chance to slip his tongue between my lips. It was slow, teasing at first, and I felt a shiver run through as he explored my mouth.
I hesitated for just a mont, my mind spinning from the sudden intensity, but then I let him in, surrendering to the sensation of his tongue sliding against mine.
My God!! Oh MY God!!!!
The kiss beca rougher, more passionate, the hunger in his touch now unmistakable. His tongue moved deeper, exploring every corner of my mouth, and I couldn’t help the soft whimper that escaped my throat as I responded in kind.
My hands gripped the front of his shirt, pulling him closer, wanting—needing—more.
Every brush of his tongue against mine sent a fresh wave of heat through , a dizzying mixture of desire and excitent that left breathless.
Hael’s fingers tightened in my hair, tugging just enough to send another thrill through , and I couldn’t help but press myself even harder against him. The kiss was wild now, all restraint gone, and I felt myself lting into him, every nerve in my body alive with the electric charge of his touch.
My legs felt weak, my knees tingling
The sensations were making my mind go blank, I couldn’t think straight at all but I gave myself over completely to the way he was devouring , the way he was taking control.
The intensity of the kiss making lightheaded, but Hael held firmly, his grip on steady as if he was anchoring to him. His tongue continued to explore my mouth, the slick heat of it sending sparks down my spine. I matched his pace, my own tongue sliding against his, the taste of him flooding my senses.
I felt his hand go under my dress
And I won’t lie, the whole thing was so mind blowing, it started to get wet.
