Chapter 236: A Rush
He swiftly locked the door, the click of the bolt giving him some relief, no one was going to interrupt them. He might not remember at the moment that doors could always be broken down.
He leaned against the door for a moment, catching his breath.
He was no fool, he understood why Troy had been outside his room, looming like a guardian. "For your safety," he’d said. But Riven knew that wasn’t the full truth.
Riven stepped further into the room, his eyes darting toward the bed. The mere thought of Soren’s presence sent jolts of electricity through him, intensifying his pulse.
Soren was awake, his silhouette barely discernible in the dim light. As Riven entered the room, he felt the intensity of Soren’s gaze, sharp and predatory, sending a shiver down his spine. It was as if Soren were a coiled spring, ready to pounce.
Riven moved cautiously towards the bed, the soft flicker of candlelight casting playful shadows across the room. He could feel the heat radiating off of Soren. He gulped and smiled softly to himself. He absolutely loved this man and the way he desired him.
Every instinct in him screamed to close the distance, to give in to the primal need that had driven him here, but a sliver of hesitation lingered in the back of his mind.
That hesitation vanished the moment he was within Soren’s reach. In one swift motion, Soren grabbed him, the force of it both electrifying and startling. Riven gasped as he was yanked onto the bed, the world around him tilting as he landed against Soren’s solid form. Before he could process anything, Soren captured his lips with a heat that took Riven by surprise.
The kiss was raw and demanding, igniting every nerve ending within Riven. Soren’s tongue slipped between his lips, boldly exploring, as Riven instinctively responded, matching the energy and urgency Soren felt.
