Obliteration

For a second, I’m too stunned, both by her beauty and by her reply, to process her words. I blink at her, my heartbeat pounding in my throat.

“I don’t have to win?” I repeat faintly. “What do you mean, I don’t have to win?”

She gives a low laugh with that rough, hoarse voice, sending shivers down my spine. She’s close enough that I can smell her, the sweet vanilla smell mingled with the fragrance of wine.

Her hand reaches for my chest, and I stay utterly still, half-afraid that if I move I’ll scare her off. Her fingers curl in a fist in my sweatshirt, and she slowly pulls me towards her like she did that night in the peace garden.

An embarrassing sound escapes my throat, a sort of low groan that I can’t quite help. My heartbeat is now deafening, the rest of my senses all focused on Sophie. Sophie’s dark eyes, fixing mine with a half-bold, half-amused look. Sophie’s flushed cheeks and pretty lips. Sophie’s smell, sweet as caramel.

And then she pulls me to her, closing the distance between us and pressing her lips against mine. They are warm and soft and slightly wet.

It’s different from the party kiss. This is a chaste kiss, just her lips against mine, almost innocent, but a shock of pleasure surges through my body like an electric current.

I close my eyes and open my mouth, leaning into the kiss, but find only air. My eyes blink open, in time to see Sophie pull away, a thoughtful pout on her mouth.

While I feel like I’ve been set on fire with desire, Sophie looks like a mathematician pondering some tedious equation.

“Haha, no,” she finally says, loosening her hold on my shirt. “Definitely doesn’t feel right.”

A spike of annoyance and pain pierces through me. I remember the stunt she pulled on me at the party, running away into the darkness. But it doesn’t shatter the spell of desire I’m under—if anything, it fuels the flames of it. I let her run away last time—I’m not going to let her get away so easily this time.

Wrapping my hand firmly around the nape of Sophie’s neck, I pull her back to me. A tiny gasp of surprise springs from her lips, but I stifle it with mine.

I don’t kiss her like I did in the peace garden—instead I kiss her slowly, achingly, to give myself time to calm down, to allow myself to revel in the taste of her. Then I open my mouth against hers, tilting her head gently with one thumb on her jaw.

“Feels right to me,” I whisper hoarsely against her lips.

I’m shit-scared she’s going to push me off, scramble back, run away—but she doesn’t.

She opens her mouth without resistance. I gently caress her lips with my tongue, tasting wine, and she responds with a soft, low moan.

The rough, sweet sound pulls at the last of my restraint, and then I’m taking her by the waist and pulling her against me. She straddles my lap, burying her fingers in my hair.
