Chapter Eighteen
Rett
I pulled Laia against me, not even daring to smile yet, or let my hands stray. A tremble was running across my skin, both from need and from the fear that this was another dream.
Do you know how many times I’ve thought about this? How much I’ve wanted this?
The last few weeks now seemed interminable. I didn’t know how I’d done it.
If I’d known kissing her would be like this…
Her soft lips parted, and I swept my tongue inside. Like our arguments and banter, it was playful, but there was that underlying intensity. Now the energy had discharged, and I was ravenous. The fevered contrast of skin to soaked clothes only made me wilder. I wanted to peel them off of her, push her down on the cool, damp grass, and let the woods echo with her pleasure.
My hips ground into hers, urgent and demanding, my pants throbbing with pressure. Laia let out a wicked, lovely laugh, and suddenly her hand traced down my side, then brushed my bulge.
I sucked in a breath and pulled back, trying to get a grip. “Laia,” I said hoarsely and reluctantly let her go. “I…”
I didn’t know what to say besides, I’ve wanted to do this since I first saw you.
And, maybe, Sorry for mauling you like a bear.
She looked up at me, with dripping hair, flushed cheeks, and sparkling eyes. Then her arms went around my neck, a leg was slung around my hip, and her lips were on mine.
“Don’t,” she gasped between kisses. “Stop. Kissing. Me. Rett. Deacon.”
A rumble of pleasure and agreement rose in my chest, one hand sliding through her hair and angling her head back, while the other found her ample bottom and squeezed. She arched against me again and all but scorched my veins. With one arm, I hoisted her up, and her legs went around me, her face now slightly above mine. Her hands were in my hair, and I groaned.
Our kisses were growing more heated, and the beast inside of me was getting impatient. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could hold out. But I also didn’t want to rush this…
We broke apart, gasping, and Laia gave me a troubled look. “What’s wrong?”
“I was trying to be patient,” I said thickly. “But when you ran off, I couldn’t lie to myself any longer, Laia. From the second I saw you, I’ve wanted to make you mine.” The last word was almost a growl. “Spending time with you is the best part of my day. Our weird partnership—it works.”
“It does,” Laia said and pressed her forehead to mine. “So, you think we’re going too fast?”
“It’s like light speed and a snail’s pace combined,” I said, closing my eyes and listening to Laia breathe, feeling her warm body pressing into me. “I don’t know what to do.”
“We could stop.”
“No,” I snarled and tightened my arms.
Laia laughed, and I opened my eyes onto her teasing face. “Yeah, I thought so." She pressed her hands to my cheeks.
