Il sourit. « Tu devrais. » Avant même que je puisse réfléchir, il combla la distance-qui nous séparait, ses lèvres s'écrasant sur les miennes. Un baiser-rude, urgent, possessif et féroce, une brûlure dévorante. « Je ne peux pas m'arrêter. Je ne veux pas. » Puis il s'empara de nouveau de mes lèvres. Et bientôt, les-miennes bougèrent. Je lui rendais son baiser. Ça ne devrait pas arriver. Soudain, des pas-résonnèrent. « Rylan-arrête, quelqu'un-» Mais ses mains se-resserrèrent sur ma taille, m'immobilisant. « Qu'ils viennent. Je m'en fiche. » Puis ses lèvres s'écrasèrent contre les miennes, plus fort.

Putain ! » On a frappé légèrement à la porte, puis on a entendu la poignée tourner. Non ! ★ Certains secrets naissent dans le feu… et certains désirs, forgés dans les ténèbres.
