When Best Friends Kiss의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

(TODD’S POV) The world shrank to the softness of her lips. Every worry—Mum’s fury, Leslie’s venom, the wrecked lunch—melted away under the simple, seismic fact that Rory Davis was kissing me back with such intensity. Her hands, which had been clenched in her lap, came up to tentatively grip the fabric of my jacket. It was that small gesture, that proof of her choice, that undid me completely. I gentled the kiss, pulling back just enough to see her face. Her eyes were still closed, her dark lashes fanning against cheeks flushed a deep, beautiful pink. Her lips were parted, glistening in the low light from the court’s lamps. She looked dazed, enchanted. “Rory,” I breathed. That word sounded like a prayer and a question. Her eyes fluttered open. The emerald depths were wide, luminous, and full of a vulnerable wonder that stole the air from my lungs and made my heart ache. For a second, I feared that I would see regret. Instead, a slow, shy, utterly radiant smile bloomed on her face

(RORY’S POV) My father is Colonel Larry Davis, a high-ranking officer in the U.S. military. When my mum was alive, Dad used to be around more often. He was still busy with his work, but at least we got to see him more. We were living in New York City then. After Mum’s death, and because of the nature of her death and its aftermath, Dad searched for a far-off place for a fresh start and ended up choosing Daisyland. He bought us this house and enrolled us in the best schools before he pleaded with Nana to come stay with us. The week Nana moved in, Dad left us with her and resumed working. We stopped seeing him regularly, but he does show up once in a while, pops up when we don’t expect him, and always disappears after a few days. I won’t say Dad and I are close, but I won’t say we are distant either. He just doesn’t hang around too often and when he does, he causes a little trouble like stirring up a fight. This is why I didn’t want Todd to step down to say hello. But Todd would neve

(RORY’S POV) I don’t know how long I spent in the shower, but I am very sure that I stayed there for a very long time. I kept getting lost in my thoughts, kept reminiscing on the memories from earlier. The way Todd had held me in his arms, how his lips had trailed my neck, the way we had kissed in passion, his hardened length against my core. The thoughts were exhilarating, exciting, and thrilling. They were addictive and I did not want to stop. I was thinking of the softness of Todd’s lips when I stepped out of the bathroom, and I was thinking of how his hands had moved gently over my waist while I got dressed. I was in a daze when I got into bed and picked up my phone to see notifications from Todd. My eyes widened before my heart did a double flip. I cuddled myself up and opened the messages. BESTIE: Hey Candy. BESTIE: Hey My Love. I think I need to call you something better… something I’ve dreamed of calling you all my life. BESTIE: Hey girlfriend…. BESTIE: Yeah, that fel

(RORY’S POV) I wasn’t sure if I wanted to look Todd in the eyes; I could tell he was angry, and it made me sad and guilty. He was walking on when he stopped all of a sudden, and I felt his gaze on me. I just had to look up, but to my greatest surprise, he was cracking a smile at me. An amused-looking smile. “Why are you looking at me like that?” I said to him with a laugh that I could not help. “Because seeing your car here shows me the effort you put in to seeing me this morning. Thank you, I really appreciate it.” His voice had grown softer, and his smile had become smaller, but his eyes showed how much he adored me—and my heart started racing instantly. “You’re welcome,” I said shyly to him. I watched his eyes brighten at my reaction and then darken as they flickered to my lips. Then he bit his lower lip and took a step toward me that made me gasp unconsciously. He leaned over and reached out and opened the door with a smile on his lips. “If not that my mum would explode ri

(RORY'S POV) There was a flash of surprise in Todd's eyes, and then they darkened. He reached close and took my lips in his, kissing me so passionately that my arms reached for him and wrapped around his neck. His hands went back to their former position under my dress, massaging my thighs gently as if he really enjoyed the feel. I gasped lightly through our kiss and Todd pulled back gently, staring into my eyes as his hands still massaged my thighs. "Just tell me if it hurts at any point," he breathed again; I could tell his voice was growing raspier. I nodded my head again, and this time I managed to mumble a hollow "Yes," one that dripped with my overwhelming emotions. Todd nodded, took my lips in his briefly, then pulled back and watched me as his fingers made their way to my heated core. His index finger pushed my panties gently aside and rubbed my clit gently, slowly. It felt like my chest was on a roller coaster; my breaths started coming faster and deeper, a contract t
