Chapter 28: Grow up
Before Naomi could fully comprehend what was happening, Zylan’s lips brushed against her neck, sending a shiver down her spine. An unfamiliar sound escaped her lips.
A soft gasp mingled with surprise escaped before she could stifle it, and her hands flew to her mouth, trying to suppress another unexpected sound that emerged even louder this time. Zylan’s hand slipped beneath the fabric of her pajama top, and his fingers caressed her bare skin, igniting a fire within her as her heart thundered in her chest, racing with a mixture of excitement and curiosity.
Zylan’s hands explored her body, moving upward until they paused just an inch away from her breasts, creating an electrifying tension in the air between them. His lips traveled along her neck, kissing gently, then tantalizingly, until they reached her jaw. Naomi felt her breath hitch in her throat, each gentle kiss sending waves of warmth coursing through her. With every flick of his tongue and every brush of his lips, she felt a deepening connection, a desire that both thrilled and terrified her.
Naomi moaned softly, the sound escaping before she could think to suppress it. What was happening to her? Why were these unfamiliar sounds spilling from her lips now, when she least expected it? Her hands moved instinctively to his neck, fingers threading through his hair as she caressed him gently, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath her touch.
"Ahh...ugh, ahh, Zylan," she breathed out, the name slipping from her lips like a secret. Panic coursed through her as she questioned why she was calling him, why this moment felt so overwhelming yet so intoxicating. Unbeknownst to her, those very words ignited a fierce desire in Zylan’s gaze, causing his eyes to darken with yearning.
He looked at her, his expression a mix of surprise and hunger, his eyes barely obscured by the fall of his hair. There was something dangerously seductive about his demeanor, a raw magnetism that pulled her closer against her better judgment. In a rush of courage, Naomi tugged him toward her, their lips crashing together with a fervor she hadn’t anticipated. Zylan stilled for a moment, taken aback by her boldness, but as her inexperience took shape in the kiss, it stirred a deep, primal response within him.
As their mouths moved together, he found himself holding her bare waist, his hands caressing her slowly, relishing the softness of her skin. Naomi, finally embracing the moment, slipped her hands under his shirt, her fingertips exploring the contours of his muscles, mirroring his earlier touch. The sensation of her delicate hands on him sent a low groan of pleasure escaping Zylan’s lips, awakening something deep within him that he struggled to contain.
But then, in a moment of clarity, Naomi’s eyes widened as she felt the strap of her bra loosening—had he unbuckled it? Instinctively, her hands shot up to catch it before it could fall completely, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson in embarrassment.
Oh, what had she done?
