Chapter 15

LOTUS

I didn’t know what to expect from Beckett, but I wasn’t willing to apologize to him knowing I did absolutely nothing wrong. After watching him tonight, I suspected that whatever this was, it ran deeper than he was letting on, not that I would ask because he wouldn't surface his weaknesses.

It was shocking really, the way he practically folded into me, seeking my touch the moment I laid my hand on his cheek. I let my thumb graze softly at the skin just under his eye, trying to soothe his restlessness. His eyes closed and in that second, I had never seen anyone look more vulnerable. My heart broke for this man. This man who felt he wasn’t good enough for me, or anyone for that matter.

I thought he was going to stop me. The moment his arm shot up and his fingers wrapped tightly around my wrist, I thought for sure he was going to pull away and this moment would be over. Lost in a wave of other small moments and carried off to sea, never to be thought of again. Instead, he surprised me, holding my wrists tightly in place like he, too, didn’t want to lose this.

When his eyes opened and locked with mine, he held my gaze, challenging me to take away what I had just given. The absolute truth was I couldn’t look away. Looking away felt like I was betraying him, and hadn’t I just broken through? There was no way I was going to back down from the challenge he was issuing, I never had and I never would.

But the only thing I hadn’t prepared for, the one single thing my beer fogged brain hadn’t quite registered, was that unlike the other times he challenged and I accepted, this wasn’t just a game of strength of wills. This thing between us was more than that, and he proved it the second he crushed my body against the entry wall and kissed me.

It was fierce, it was painful, and it was so damn perfect that I never wanted it to end. It didn’t matter that his large frame pinned me against the wall, I wanted . . . no I needed to be closer. I snaked my hand from his cheek to the nape of his neck, holding him to me as his bruising kiss dragged me under.

I’d heard it before; being so consumed that time seemed to stand still, but I never experienced it until this moment. His hands roamed over my arms, my hips, my thighs and I couldn’t tell you how long it had been, because I was too concentrated on the feel of his calloused hands on my body, and his teeth nipping at my lips.

His lips left mine and he trailed wet kisses along my jaw and down my neck while one of his palms snaked up to cup my breast. I gasped, enjoying the jolts of electricity coursing through my body. “Did you ever date him?” He asked as he bit my neck, and then smoothed his tongue over the spot to soothe it.
