Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358: Weird dynamics.

Leilani.

Shock.

That was all I felt in the first few seconds after Zevran pressed his warm lips against mine, and the second our lips collided, twisting into a tango of nerves and emotions, everything else disappeared.

Zevran’s kiss was urgent, like he’d been holding back from kissing me since forever; But beneath all that urgency, there was something more, something deeper that twisted into the depths of my very soul and shot straight to my core.

His tongue teased mine, sending a shiver down my spine, and I could almost feel the emotions he wasn’t saying, pouring into my mouth every time his tongue glided against mine.

By the goddess, this wasn’t just passion; it was need, longing, desire and everything we hadn’t spoken— Hell, it was everything we could never say.

His calloused hands slid up my naked back, pulling me close— so close that all I felt was his warmth and his hot breath fanning the sides of my face. But as if that was not enough, as if he couldn’t stand the thought of even an inch of space between us, he pressed even closer until I feared that we would become one.

"Fuck, I love you..." he groaned out the words, releasing hot air into my mouth. But I couldn’t respond.

Hell, it wasn’t like I couldn’t respond.

It wasn’t like I was scared of saying how I felt or anything.

I just felt tongue-tied.

And to unburden myself with thoughts of how to respond to him, I pressed into him, completely lost in the intensity of his hold, my racing heart pounding in time with his. His lips moved against mine, rough and devouring at the same time, and I found myself wanting more of it. Craving more of it than I could ever bring myself to admit.

I could feel the world around us blurring slowly. It faded into nothing but the heat of his lips and the weight of his body against mine. My fingers slipped into his thick dark hair, holding on as if for dear life... as if I was afraid to let go, like this kiss was the only thing keeping me tethered to reality.

And in that moment, I could feel his heartbeat hammering against my chest. It was wild and frantic, and I instantly knew he felt it too... that he felt the way this kiss was more than just a kiss.

Goddess, I knew he could sense how it had crossed the very large and obvious line we’d both initially placed between us, obscuring the friendship we shared with the craziness that came with our bond.

When he finally pulled back, just enough for us both to breathe, his forehead rested against mine, I could swear that I saw that feeling of love flicker in his eyes one more time before he finally shut it down.

Our breaths came in ragged gasps, the space between us thick with all the unspoken words we would never ever say. I closed my eyes and carefully opened them right back to meet his gaze, and the look I found there made my breath hitch.

It wasn’t just desire, it was something deeper and darker, something neither of us needed to explain—

I cleared my throat and wrapped my arms over my chest to hide my now hardened nipples and then I hissed; "I would shift now."

"I knew you would." He answered airily, his voice holding a tinge of something that sounded like amusement. "You would do anything to avoid me right now."

The way my face burned after he said those words was alarming.

And do you know what was worse?

The fact that I wasn’t fast enough to hide my blush before he saw it.

He threw his head back and laughed, the corners of his eyes crinkling as he muttered something along the lines of; "It’s so easy to get you flustered... and you’re cute like that," under his breath...

But I didn’t want to know exactly what it was that he had said.

I didn’t care—
