Adrien’s hands lingered on my face for a moment that felt electric, his thumbs gently tracing my cheekbones while those intense green eyes searched mine, making my knees feel weak. Then, without saying a word, he leaned in, closing the gap between us until his lips found mine in a kiss that lit a spark deep inside me, like wildfire racing across dry leaves.
The first touch was gentle, almost shy, a warm brush that seemed to ask for permission, even after everything we’d shared. But when I let out a sigh against him, the kiss shifted into something fierce and all-consuming. His mouth moved over mine with an urgency that took my breath away, deliberate at first, then desperate, as if he’d waited ages to kiss me like this.
Heat spread through me...my lips, my chest, low in my stomach and I felt myself melting into him, the world fading away to just the feel of his tongue against mine, the way our breaths mingled, hot and uneven. It was incredible, overwhelming, as if every nerve in my body had woken up all at once, craving this more than anything I’d ever felt before.
Without even thinking, my arms slipped around his broad shoulders, fingers curling into the soft fabric of his hoodie for support as the kiss deepened. He tasted like mint and something more mysterious, something that was uniquely him, and each movement of his lips sent waves of dizzying pleasure through me.
’This is wrong!’ my mind screamed even as I leaned in closer. ’This is so wrong!’
But another voice whispered back, softer and more desperate. ’It’s just a kiss. Just one kiss. It doesn’t have to mean everything.’
Yet a kiss could carry so much weight, it could mean too much and the guilt crashed in right behind the pleasure. I was cheating on Ethan, wasn’t I? I could still picture his gentle smile, the way he’d asked before kissing me goodbye just hours ago...
My feelings for him hadn’t faded; I still loved the safety he provided, the kindness that never asked for anything in return. And yet here I was, pressed against Adrien in the moonlight of my room, letting him take over my mouth as if I belonged to him.
Like I had always belonged to him.
