Chapter Nineteen: I Want to Touch You

After having dinner with Darby and Hayden, we are finally back at our suit. We walk into our suite, and Haru slowly closes the door. I wait for him at the edge of the room, my eyes stuck to him. A tingle in my upper back dances across my shoulder blades. My lips pout, blood rushing to them. They tremble a bit, and I sink my teeth into my bottom lip and suck it a little.

The closer he gets, the more I calm myself.

He passes me into the hall. My feet are firm on the wooden floor. My whole-body burns, except my fingers—they’re ice cold. I try to ignore my chattering teeth; it makes no sense. I’m burning up inside; what is this sensation?

He slides open our bedroom door, puts his wallet on the nightstand, and turns toward me. “You want to get in the hot tub?” he asks, unbuttoning his shirt as I make my way to the room.

“Y-yeah,” I say, my cheeks warming even more. I’ve never experienced this kind of feeling in my life. I make my way to the room, sliding my shoes off on the marble floor, just as Haru did.

“You okay, princess?” Haru asks, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as I glance up at him; his eyes are on me.

“I’m fine.”

“You were quiet at dinner. You sure?”

My ears pop; my fingers dance in anticipation. When I breathe, my chest caves in. “I—I’m great. Just...” I stumble over my words; I don’t want to say anything that would give away my current state. “Meet me there?” I say, gracing his arm with the tips of my fingers.

Haru nods.

A heavy sigh flows through me as I head toward the hot tub. My hands slowly scale the golden banisters leading up to the jacuzzi. I don’t turn on the jets, but I sprinkle the red rose petals in the water. Playing with the light switches and dials, I turn all the lights on low to resemble a candlelit room.

Haru approaches.

I stand straight, my tongue caught in my throat. His hair flows as he walks toward me, chest bare. The muscles in his legs contract every time he takes a step. All the sounds become clouded. If he’s speaking to me, I don’t hear it. All I can hear are my breaths.

My heart races faster than it ever has, the beats overlapping each other. There goes my chest again, it aches from being so hollow—from being so tense. The tattoos on his arms seem to glow in the dimly lit room. As he comes up the stairs, I can’t move. Even his trunks look sexy. Their basic black ones, but they look so good on him.

He eases down into the water. “What are you doing, princess? Get in.”

My skin warms itself. I keep in these unsolicited moans, and my shoulders shimmy slowly. I want Haru so bad. My body can take no more; it longs to be touched.

Without warning, I pull my shirt over my head, revealing my nude lace bra.
