Chapter 338: Belittling
Alexander’s mind went blank as he surrendered to the moment. His hands moved instinctively, sliding from her back to the nape of her neck. He pulled her closer, deepening the kiss with an urgency he didn’t know he possessed.
For days, her kisses had haunted his thoughts, lingering like a sweet torment. Now, with her in his arms, every suppressed desire came rushing to the surface. His tongue explored her mouth, savoring every soft whimper and muffled moan she made, each sound sending a shiver down his spine.
The fire within him grew, and his grip on her tightened as he fought the mounting need to take things further. He wanted her... desperately, completely. Every inch of him ached to claim her, to lose himself in her warmth.
"Rain," he murmured against her lips, his voice husky with desire, "I..."
But the words died on his tongue as her hands gently cradled his face, grounding him. Rain pulled back just enough to meet his gaze, her cheeks flushed and her breathing uneven. The look in her eyes was tender, filled with love and trust.
Alexander’s chest heaved as he tried to steady himself, his heart pounding like a drum. He swallowed hard, his hands still cradling her. "You’re making it impossible to think straight," he admitted in a low voice, his lips curving into a small, rueful smile.
Rain chuckled softly, brushing her fingers against his cheek. "Good. Maybe you think too much sometimes," she teased, her voice a mixture of amusement and affection.
Alexander let out a quiet laugh, his tension easing slightly. But as he gazed into her eyes, he knew one thing for certain... whatever this feeling was between them, it was consuming him, and he didn’t want it to stop.
Alexander was about to dive in for another kiss, his heart racing with anticipation, but Rain suddenly shifted. She nestled closer, burying her face against his chest. Her voice was soft and drowsy as she murmured, "I’m too sleepy. Stay with me and sleep here, cradling me like before."
