Chapter thirty-two

Claire

I’ve decided to fake it ‘til I make it, but the minute Remy’s mouth crashes into mine, I know I won’t be faking anything tonight. His tongue parts my lips without hesitation, seeking mine and finding it before staking his possession of it. His kiss is desperate and needy, which makes me wonder if he tried to put up a fight for his benefit or mine.

We’ve kissed before, but something about this time is different. It’s like we’ve surrendered to one another in this moment, like no one is holding back. I wrap my arm around his neck, feeling suddenly overwhelmed in the best way. Remy responds by slipping his knee beneath my thigh at the same time he lifts me around the waist, leaving me weightless, breathless. Instinct guides me to wrap my legs tight around him, hoping it will alleviate some of the aching need in my core. It doesn’t.

When his lips leave mine, it feels cruel… like a punishment for something from a past life, penance for a crime I have no knowledge of. Except, that’s not true. If he wants to punish me for anything, it’s for acting like I did in front of his brother… for letting him think I have any interest in the man who tried to destroy me. But Wes didn’t destroy me; he made me stronger.

If Remy means to punish me, he isn’t doing it by walking away from me. His lips leave mine, but never me, though it turns into a series of quick kisses that he plants on the corner of my lips, the side of my chin, the edge of my jaw. It’s agonizingly slow and wonderful all at once as his soft kiss peppers the side of my neck, stopping for a moment to let his tongue lave over the skin there. I tighten my grip on him, my nails close to biting into the tender skin at the back of his neck, and when his teeth nip against the space between my neck and collarbone, I yelp.

I’m not sure how long I’m going to last before I fall apart, and I’m desperate to get us out of these clothes, to feel his skin against mine. Dragging my fingers from the back of his neck to the top of his chest, I feel for the fabric of his jacket, hooking my fingers underneath it before pushing both sleeves off his shoulders.

He spins us so fast that I feel dizzy for a moment, and then he carries me across the room in a few strides. I open my eyes to see that we’re moving further into the room, and not even a second later, he sits me on the edge of something hard. My dress is still hiked up from where I had my legs wrapped around him, and I can feel the cold surface under my thighs. If he looks a little higher, he’ll inevitably realize that I opted to skip underwear this time, and for the briefest moment I worry what he’ll think of me when he figures it out.
