登入I confessed my love to him!!It was in the spur of the moment! My heart felt like it was ready to combust. I just said those words after I told him I didn't like him.God!Why did I sound so fucking love-sick? Who knows my expression when I confessed it?My phone dinged with a notification, and the embarrassment on my face made way to a blush when I picked it up. It was his seventh message so far, and I knew what I would see when I opened the message. Kielan: You’re beautiful, even when you’re flustered and trying to act like you don’t care.I blushed, and my cheeks heated instantly. Almost all the messages he sent went along that line. The last was, “I’ve loved you for longer than I want to admit. And hearing you say it first just made it real. I’m not letting you take it back.”I giggled, kicking my legs in the air. Even when I realised what I was doing, I didn't stop. I couldn't, not when my heart was beating loudly against my chest and my cheeks were so hot. I flopped back onto
We both groaned.“Lylah,” he whispered my name like a prayer as his forehead dropped to my shoulder, his breath hot against my skin. “You feel… I can feel how ready you are. Even though—”I arched up against him, and the action made him curse under his breath.“I want you,” I said. “Kielan, I need you inside me.”He lifted his head, and his eyes found mine, and there it was again. That look. It was one of adoration, hunger, and something deeper I didn't have a name for.“Not yet,” he said. “I told you I want to take my time.”His hand slid down my body, over my ribs, down my stomach, to the waistband of my panties. His fingers slipped beneath the lace, and I held my breath as they found my pussy.“God,” he breathed. “You're so wet.”He stroked me once, and my hips bucked. My hands fisted in the sheets as his thumb found my clit, and he circled it with a pressure that was almost too light, and I whimpered.“Please.”“Please what?” He smiled innocently, like he didn't know what he was f
That night, he made love to me. It wasn't hurried. It wasn't even like the last time when he held me gently. Something changed tonight. I could tell. Hell, I could even feel it in the freaking damned air as he looked at me like I was the only one in his world.The first button gave under his thumb as he stared into my eyes. He didn't look down at what his hands were doing. His eyes stayed on mine as his thumb moved to the second button.“You're so beautiful,” he whispered.My fingers tightened as I stared into his eyes. I couldn't look away. His eyes held something I'd never seen directed at me before, something that made my stomach drop and my skin flush hot all at once.Adoration. Pure and uncomplicated.The blouse fell open another inch when he opened another button, exposing the dip between my breasts, and the lace edge of my bra. His breath caught and his jaw tightened the way it did when he was holding back.“Kielan.” His thumb found the third button, and he traced the edge wi
We stayed for a few minutes until I calmed down, then we left. “Let's take a walk,” he said the moment we left the building behind, and I agreed because, let's be real, I wanted to continue holding his hand. Ever since we left the cinema, he had been holding my hand and hadn't let go. If taking a walk was all it took for him to hold me, then I wouldn't mind walking to the ends of the earth with him. Not that I like him or anything like that. Kielan walked slowly as if, like me, he didn't want to let go. We turned a corner, and my eyes landed on a phone booth.“I haven't seen one of these in years. Would have been nice if we could take a picture,” I said, walking past it, but he tugged me back and pulled out his phone. “Get in.”“What?”“Just—” He gestured awkwardly. “Humour me.”I stepped inside and Kielan shut the door, then squeezed in beside me. It was ridiculous. The two of us folded into a space built for one, his shoulder pressed to mine. He held up his phone, and I realised
Kielan was all I could think about all day. Thoughts of him filled my mind to the point where I couldn't do anything productive, aside from staring out of the window and just smiling. Whatever he did to me must have been so potent, because I don't understand myself anymore. It felt like I had grown into a woman who had nothing to do with the Lylah who walked into his study that fateful day. Was the sex that good?Letting out a sigh, I closed my eyes. I haven't heard from Stone since that day we spoke, and I was expecting him any day now. Wait until I see that damned bastard. I'll give him a piece of my mind before I get him thrown out of my bar to feed me lies. He made me doubt Kielan, who was obviously trying to come clean to me. I opened my top drawer and smiled. I brought my gun to work because of that bastard. I'll use it and threaten him. I need to wait for him to show up before I do all I planned. Before then, I have something important to think about. The date with Kielan!
He rolled down, and I looked at him with a raised brow. “What did you just say?” I'd heard him clearly, and knew he confessed his love for me, but I needed to hear it from him again. “Are you available tomorrow?" He asked, reaching for me. He lifted me from the bed like I weighed nothing, and I wrapped my hands around his neck. “Why?”“Let's go on a date. A real one, this time.”The old Lylah wouldn't have agreed, or she would have done so halfheartedly, just so he wouldn't lash out at her, but not me. “Okay.” Nodding, I placed my face on his chest. “What did you just say now?”“The date?”“No, before that. While we were still on the bed.” I needed to hear him repeat that, even though I heard it clearly the first time. I shouldn't, right? I don't like him and shouldn't wish to hear him tell me how much he loves me. Yet, deep down, I needed to. “Oh, I was just telling you how I would love to go on a date with you,” he responded as he opened the door and stepped out into the corrido
