Chapter Thirteen

Amelia

Licking my lips heavily, I adjusted my lacy, forest green bra against my breasts as anxiety and anticipation hardened my nipples. Taking a deep breath, I ran my hands down my bare, tense belly and pulled my matching panties carefully higher over my hips. Taking a deep, stabilizing breath, I smiled at mt reflection in the armoire mirror before exhaling sharply.

“Hey, Erich- can you tell me how this looks?” Thanking any deity that would listen that my voice didn’t waver, I rushed to pull my hair over my shoulders. It’d been so long since I’d actually spent time in my own apartment- beyond just a quick shower- that the culmination of my life was almost foreign. Photography magazines littered my dresser, and graphic photos of cameras I’d had dreams of owning were pinned to the edges of the mirrors. The carpet caressing my toes was still soft and plump from disuse, and I turned away from my reflection just in time to catch Erich shuffling cautiously into my bedroom.

My breath caught, all thoughts of my apartment flying out my ears, and my pupils narrowed on Erich as he froze. Well, most of him froze- his eyes raked up my bare, smooth legs, and he clenched his jaw tightly as his nostrils flared. The surprise that flashed to brighten his gaze was instantly replaced with dark desire, and the color of his irises darkened into thick, stormy clouds cracking with leashed lightning.

“Well?” Heat suffused my cheeks at how confident my voice sounded, and Erich’s gaze snapped to mine from under heavy lids. His eyelid twitched, expression pensive as he licked his lips hungrily without once wavering from my face. Those two, tiny, actions made up for the fact that this wasn’t a jaw-drop moment, and that faux confidence in my voice ripped through my chest in surety.

Swaying my hips, I sauntered slowly across my bedroom, and I worked my pointer fingers under the straps of my panties. Erich only briefly glanced down before his narrowed eyes trained on my face again, and his lip twitched in what could’ve been a smirk.

It was as if he was losing control of himself, and that notion sent a charged thrill through my veins to hasten my furiously flowing, hot blood.

“You are of otherworldly beauty, Amelia…” Erich’s native, German tongue caused goosebumps to blanket my skin thickly, and my cheeks flamed at the bare, extremely genuine compliment. Taking a heavy, short step forward, his tension rippled under his suit noticeably, and I came to a stop at the foot of my bed.

“I was hoping, since you won’t be staying…” Trailing off, I pursed my lips thinly as my heart squeezed to send a harsh throbbing down to my toes. A deep crease appeared between his brows, but it was a short display before Erich edged closer to me. Reaching for me, his fingers slipped across my clammy palms, and he brought both sets of my knuckles to his lips to kiss them with a feathered gentleness.
