He shuts his eyes and inhales deeply through his nose When he opens his eyelids back up, his pupils are dilated, only a slender ring of grey showing He places his hands on the door, entrapping ate my body for wounds, but every one of the cuts and bruises have already healed

I nod, unable to look away fro aze flicks to rowl "Did he kiss you?"

"Huh?"

"Caravelly "Did he kiss you?"

My stomach somersaults and I lick my cracked lips "Do you really want to know the answer to that?"

He drags his tongue ring along the edge of his teeth "I need to know or else it will drive e truthfully with a wince "And kind of my chest"

"That’s it?" His pierced eyebros up "That’s the only place he kissed you?"

I don’t get why he doesn’t seem to think that it’s bad, because it is In fact, I feel kind of slutty "That’s the only place he kisseddeal, because it is"

"Was it a big deal to you?" he questions "Did you… did you like it?"

I consider what he said Did I like it? Honestly, thinking about it now, the feelings that I felt with Cameron were based s With Asher, things are powerful on an intense emotional aspect

"I like when you kissthe hardness of his firain… just you…"

His breathing quickens and his eyes turn ani, so there’s nothing but the pupil "Can I kiss you now?"

Why does he always ask first? I clutch the front of his shirt and jerk hi static His lips don’t protest and he easily slips his tongue insidepassion to every portion of s, he lifts s hook around his waist, then he carries orated Nothing exists at the moment, but him and me

My hands find the zipper of his jacket and I start to unzip it He takes the hint, leaning up enough to slip his arms out of the sleeves and shuck it off He has a plaid shirt on underneath and I fumble to unbutton it, but he catches my hand and ceases me

"Are you sure you’re okay?" he asks, breathless, his lips swollen "You seem anxious"

I flick another button undone "I’m fine"

"But I don’t want us to s have already ain… in the heat of the ht not be able to stop"

"You don’t want this?" God, please say no

"No" He cups my cheek with his hand "But it doesn’t matter what I want… it’s what you want"

"I want you," I say, breathing in the stillness of his touch as he grazes the pad of his thumb acrossaround for you for forever" It sounds stupid, but it’s the truth and it makes him smile a little

He slowly unbuttons the rest of his shirt, slips it off, and tosses it next to his jacket My breath catches at his lean muscles and the tattoos inked on his sel with black feathers spanning fro from her eyes Her black hair flows to her back and the feathers arerib there’s an inscription tattooed and I run redo caped terra et possederunt corpora ros et faelos morte Erat, sed omne sacrificium unum contrarium

Morte puellae umero uno utrisque coniunctum esset electio salvificenam

He covers his body with ned perfectly, and I wrap e hirazing his tongue ring along the inside, before trailing delicate kisses downwith desire, and the need for ht I want to be with him

My chest heaves as he unties the ribbon ofme up by the arms, he jerks it over my head and unclips my bra I shut my eyes and let the beautiful moment s me up, before his lips seal back to raze his chest I keep gasping andinsidesensation that almost hurts, and I need it taken care of

He slides off my boots and then rips my shorts and panties off, and then he takes off his jeans and boxers, before covering his body withto calm myself down I’m nervous, not about the actual act of intimacy, but about the pain Raven told inity and how badly it hurt, but she assuredmy hair back, he looks me in the eye "Are you sure?"

I nod without hesitation, knowing this is the right moment For me "Positive"

His throat htens his ar and I cover ?" I ask

He grabs his jeans off the floor and then reaches into the back pocket, taking out a condom, and I release a breath trapped in my chest He moves back over to the bed and the ht as he crawls back overht when I saw you at the party"

I lick my lips, anxious and excited as he situates his, with one arm on each side of my head

My heart thulide my hands up his back as he leans down to passionately kiss ins to slide intotorn apart in the oes in, the worse the pain gets and I struggle not to cry out
