Love Me in the Dark novel Chapter 15

KREW

Something had pushed me to follow her, perhaps my feelings or the urge to kiss her when she seemed on board before she left without notice.

I knew for a fact that once I entered her room, I left my restrictions outside, those walls that I built, and my secrets were floating up, ready to resurface, but were we there yet? Fuck no. I had a lot of rules I had to break and things that weren’t ready for her to find out or someone would hate me. I also needed to know if whatever between us was not just some sexual tension, and if she was ever ready to accept me and what I had done in the past.

Jesus, she was not here for a week, yet I was already ready to gamble.

But the moment our lips crashed, I forgot my doubt, my restrictions, my promise, were replaced by those feelings I kept inside me. Our lips moved in sync as if they precisely knew what to do as if they’d done it before. It felt good—surreal, and the only thing I could think of—when she offered me to take my chance, I took it. I couldn’t take it for granted when it was offered to you on a silver platter by the person you dreamt of kissing for years. Right now, she made my night fantasies come true.

My hand slid from her waist up to the back of her neck as I pulled her closer to me, she gasped, opened her mouth, inviting me in. My tongue found hers, and I started a slow dance, tangling with hers.

She moans, sending vibration to my now unruly hard cock, still imprisoned in my jeans. I knew I had to hold it longer—maybe River wasn’t ready for that.

River kissed me with the same passion, her hand exploring my body that I knew had belonged to hers since our unfinished business that night. It had been long, but my body still knew her. She slid her hand up the edge of my shirt, dragging across the bare skin of my abdomen. She ran her fingers against the ripples of my muscles, hardening against her touch, and so as my cock. I could feel that she felt my hardness as she danced her body against mine, pressing, grinding, seeking relief from the aches we both felt.

God, this woman was a seductress. She weakened my knees that no one had been capable of doing it to me. I moaned against our mouths as she dragged her hand down to the waistband of my jeans. I was dying in anticipation—I panted, but something was stopping me, and so did she. She might have noticed me as I stiffened against her.

I left her mouth and dragged mine across her face over her ear. “I can’t wait to have you all over me, or my mouth all over you, but not tonight, baby.” I could hear her catching her own breath, shuddering as I licked the sensitive part on her neck up to her earlobe.

She pulled her hand away from the waistband of my jeans, placing it on my face. “You’re right. Sorry, I got too carried away.”

“Never apologize for what you did. Unless it’s not what you want.” I kissed her lips again. “Our kiss is better than I have imagined in four years.”

“Three years.”

I opened my eyes, and we stared at each other for a few seconds. There were no awkward moments between us other than the pools of liquid lust still brewing in her eyes. I was sure she saw the same thing in me, and there was no denying that was what we both wanted.

“Are you sleepy?” I didn’t know why did I ask that question. On the other hand, I didn’t think I could sleep right now.

“Are you?”

“No. I want you to do something for me.”

Her brow arched, eyes glittered with wickedness. “Does it involve touching and kissing?”

“Might be. If you seek to touch me.” I could feel my lips curve.

“What are you up for me to do?”

“Play guitar for me.”

She must have not expecting that from me, but I’d been dying to watch and listen to her play. She gulped.

“Please?” I barely begged, but a man could hope, and I would be glad to do so if, in the end, one of my dreams would come true tonight.

“I haven’t done it in a while.”

“I know. Is it too much?”

She shook her head. “No, but I’m not a pro.”

“Just play a few keys.”

“Chords.”

“Chords.” I got up from bed in excitement once my cock softened a bit. “I’ll be right back.”

It didn’t take a few minutes. I was back with the guitar I bought. River was already sitting on the bed. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw what was in my grasp.

“It looks new, Krew. Did you buy it just for me to play?” she said half-jokingly.

I joined her in bed. “What if I did?” I pecked her on the lips while she was smiling at me, then I kissed her forehead. It was unexpected, and it felt affectionate as if we were already in a long-term relationship.

“Damn. Lucky me.”
