♛ Aurora:A rumble of satisfaction came from his chest, and he rested his forehead against mine.His body was still trembling when he dropped beside me, the last of his shuddering breaths warm against my shoulder. I felt the sweat cooling between our skin, his chest rising and falling rapidly in time with mine.A minute passed, and the only sound in the room was that of our rushed breath. After a while, Adrian broke the silence. “That was…” He paused, like he didn’t know the right words to term what just happened. His abs tightened against my fingers as I brushed them against his chest.He didn’t finish his sentence, and I doubt he knew exactly the right words for it. He sounded like he was feeling everything as much as I was and couldn’t utter a thing.Then he lowered his head, just enough to kiss me. His hand slid under my neck to cradle my head, his other arm curling around my waist to pull me into him, like I might slip away if he didn’t hold me tight enough.I sighed softly agai
♛Aurora:The low command in his voice did something to me. My thighs shifted restlessly, and I could feel the heat building and pulsing between them. When he spread my legs gently with his hands, I let him.He lowered himself slowly, kissing his way down my stomach, down my hips, until he was kneeling between my thighs. I tried to brace myself for what he’d do next, and I stretched my neck on the soft pillow, staring up at the ceiling and letting out soft breaths. Despite how ready I thought I was, nothing could’ve prepared me for the first stroke of his tongue.My lips parted as my eyes pressed shut. I cried out softly and shifted beneath him, but he soothed me with his hands, stroking my legs and hips, resettling me on the mattress.Adrian groaned softly as my trembling fingers touched his dark, tousled hair, the back of his neck, and the hard slope of his shoulders.“You don’t have to do anything. Let me take care of you.” His hot breath fanned against the sensitive skin. He licke
Aurora:“Rory,” Adrian's voice was raspy, and he sounded almost breathless as he muttered my name. Swallowing the tight lump in my throat, my fingers brushed against his sturdy chest, and I held his gaze as his breath fanned against my skin.He murmured my name again, almost like he wanted me to respond, but right before I could get a word out, he pressed his lips against mine, cutting back the words that were close to spilling out from my lips.Adrian kissed me like someone who had been starved for years. The kiss wasn’t gentle, nor was it the restrained kind. He bit my lower lips and I gasped. The moment I did, his tongue slid inside my mouth, searching for my tongue. It stole the air from my lungs and replaced it with heat.His fingers traced lines around my navel, and the only sound in the room was our gasps for air.My shirt was somewhere above my ribs, and his fingers skimmed the skin of my waist like he was reacquainting himself with something he thought he had forgotten. Adri
♛ Aurora: I woke up to heat. Like I was being thrown into a burning furnace. I tried to wriggle my body, but it was nearly impossible, it felt like someone was pressing down on me with the weight of their own body. My brows pulled together, and I blinked, fluttering my eyes open. For a moment, I just stared at the ceiling, staring at nothing in particular, but I was beyond confused by the strange pattern on the ceiling, and the masculine cologne scent that was heavy on the room, making me feel almost lightweight. I tried to turn around again, but the weight on me didn't even budge, not even a little to allow me move freely. My brows creased tightly and I looked around, that was the moment I realized I was in fact not in my place, but in… In Adrian’s place. And the weight on me? I glanced down slowly. His arm was slung across my waist, heavy and warm, his fingers curled loosely against my stomach. I could feel him behind me. His chest was against my back, his breath brush
♛ Aurora: I couldn’t understand how someone who had hurt me so deeply could also make me feel so safe. Like home wasn't a place; it was this man. I sat up slightly on the bed, pushing a pillow behind me. “You didn’t think it was strange? Keeping everything around like this?” His gaze didn’t shift. “No.” “No?” I raised a brow. “I thought it’d be strange to erase you.” His voice was calm, and he brushed his fingertips on my jaw, leaning closer to me on the bed, and settling his weight on an elbow. I swallowed. “So, you just walked around the house every day pretending I still lived here?” His lips curved slightly, a sad smile tugging at the corner. “Some days, yeah.” I didn’t know what to say to that. I noticed the way his brows curved up into a frown, like he had an unpleasant memory, but then he brushed it off just as it came. I brushed my fingertips under his chin, feeling more alive in the moment; Adrian closed his eyes at the touch. “What about the espresso
♛ Aurora: When Adrian said he was taking me home, I simply assumed he was taking me back to my apartment. And though I wanted to complain and tell him I wasn't ready to leave him yet, I swallowed back my words and simply sighed as he dropped me carefully in the passenger seat and shut the door close, rounding the car and opening the door to the driver’s seat. My gaze remained on the streetlights as we drove past the highway, and for a moment I didn't say anything, but that was subtik I noticed he took a path down the right on the highway. My brows furrowed together and I stayed silent, wondering whether he wanted to get something. I soon realized he wasn't going to get anything, when he drove past a street, heading to an estate I was once very familiar with. I turned my head to him, “You said you're taking me home.” He didn't bother sparing me a glance as he simply chuckled and answered, “Yeah.” I was certain he knew what I meant, but chose to remain oblivious. By the time he
