I was officially mental.

“I like black,” he said. “You have to like something else, otherwise that’s stealing.” He smiled, his eyes gleaming at me.

I leaned forward and put my hands on either side of his face, his head cradled in my hands as I stared into his eyes before I looked down at his mouth, the speck of dark chocolate on his lips that seemed to be calling me. I very carefully brushed his lips with mine, parting my lips just enough to suck on that bottom lip and its speck of chocolate.

I felt like I was sucking life out of him, energy, happiness, peace, everything good and beautiful and wonderful, and I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t want to stop when he put his hands on my shoulders and held on, like he was falling and needed me to hold onto. I soaked in his warmth until his lips moved against mine, sending a different kind of shock through me. His lips were so soft against mine, soft and insistent until our mouths met, my head tilting to the side as he leaned forward over me, his hands sliding around my shoulders, pulling me closer while he kissed me. Something hard and horrible inside my chest loosened up and melted away as I tasted him, my chocolate man. Mine.

His hands pulled me closer, warm hands that infused me with pleasure and relief. Everything was so cold, so exhausting, but kissing him was like soaking up the sun, or a fire on a bleak midwinter’s evening. I slid my hands around his neck, drinking in his live, hot chocolate until he bit my lip, the pressure of his teeth making me gasp and pull away.

He hadn’t broken the skin, but it was enough to break the spell, for a moment anyway. I stared at him, my fingers on my lips where they still throbbed, aching to once more taste him. I wanted him more in that moment than I’d ever wanted anything. I would have done anything, said anything to erase the rest of the world permanently, and drown in hot chocolate and pleasure.

He inhaled, shuddering before he turned to me with a smile that didn’t meet the desire in his eyes. I could read in his eyes what he wanted, and it was me. A rush of something dangerous, something addictive went through me. I wanted him to want me almost as much as I wanted him. I wanted him to need me, to be lost without me so that I could keep him. Mine.

He swallowed hard and broke eye contact with me. “This isn’t the best place.” He gestured at the parking lot and I managed to look around instead of staring at him.

A girl was walking by with a bright blush on her cheeks, possibly from watching my unhinged consumption of my chocolate man.

Orion turned on the car and put it in gear without saying another word. The brisk wind ruffled his hair, streaming like black ribbons around his face.
