Excerpt
He was still waiting
when I joined him again, composed. He stood with his back against the
wall, his hands lost deep into the folds of his pockets. He was
studying his shoes, his hair falling in thick fringes over his eyes.
Those blue eyes rose, crystalline pools of electricity, and met mine,
and my world stopped. My breath stopped. My heart would have stopped
if it wasn’t drumming a tempo of pure elation at the sight of him.
It ached, so desperate for the need to be closer. God, it was never
close enough. I could crawl into him, burrow into his soul and it
wouldn’t be enough.
I
took a step closer, as unsteady as a new born calf. He caught my
hand, reeled me to him without ever pushing away from the wall. I was
pulled into the space between his feet, held there as he bent my arm
and twisted it around my own waist. I was pressed into him, his
thighs hard against mine. I felt his heartbeat through the fingertips
he traced over the curve of my cheek.
“Stop touching
me,” I gasped, cotton-mouthed, half-crazed by the possibility that
he might take me seriously.
“Why?” His
breath fanned over my dry and already parted lips.
I opened my eyes,
surprised to find them closed. “Because I won’t want you to
stop.”
The band of steel
around my waist tightened until I was supported only by him, by his
arm, his chest, his heat, his scent… God, I was home! My fingers
curled into the soft material of his fresh, clean shirt. He must have
changed, but it was yet another black t-shirt.
“I can’t.” His
lips wrote each word against mine in the caress of butterfly wings.
My bones liquefied.
I nearly fainted.
“Why?” The
single word was a mere movement of my lips.
His free hand
shackled my chin, guided my face up, held me prisoner to eyes much
too animal to be human. “Because I don’t want to stop.”
If there was ever
any possibility of remembering to breathe, it was gone. I was barely
conscious, barely even sane as I sunk into blissful madness cured
only by his lips… his touch.
“Touch me!” My
desperate plea was met with a fierce growl.
His eyes, dark,
feral, bore into mine. “Not here!”
I opened my mouth to
protest, to beg, but his finger against my lips became a barricade,
trapping the words on my tongue.
“Don’t!” he
hissed. His finger drew back, traced the curve of my bottom lip. His
eyes followed the slow caress the way a cat watches a canary. “I
can’t promise I’m completely in control right now.”
