Song recommendation for this chapter: Phillip Phillips ~ Raging fire
She felt his hot breathe on her skin and still, her sanity wanted to wade the underlying insanity threatening to swallow her whole. Against her better judgement, she stood on her toes to try and meet him halfway. With every second that passed she felt her lips inch closer to his, their lips calling to each other.
Was this it? Was this how powerful last can get?
She tried to hold on to common sense which somehow slipped through her fingers the moment his fingertips ran in circles at the length of her collarbone. She felt a burning sensation that awakened things she never imagined to have harboured within her... so strange yet so sweet.
"Salem" she breathed when his face got too close to hers, their noses almost touching.
"Shhhh" he shushed her by placing his thick middle finger on her thin lips that ignited something delicious which ran down her spine.
What was she supposed to do!
She closed her eyes in contemplation which the male took to be an invitation, wasting no further time he smacked his lips on hers and heard her take a sharp breathe which allowed him a window to delve even deeper than his initial intention. She breathed a throaty sigh that aroused him as it sounded no less than a moan to him. She let herself get lost in the foreign sensations that seemed to carry her higher and higher and she wondered if it was the same effect that people got when they consumed ale. She doubted it. He twirled his tongue, canvassing her entire soul to him and him alone. Why did he feel so possessive of her? Was it because she seemed more of a sibling to him?
The thought appalled him to no end that his happy trigger got triggered off that instant. He broke the kiss to see the dreamy face the little female had put up and he knew she was innocent... untainted. Why oh why did he have to sully all that was pure and try as he might, he couldn't deny the fact that he felt something move inside him the moment she opened up for him to explore her mouth even if briefly. The stirring of something innate, like the flow of his blood. He thought briefly of her escapades whenever she was in close vicinity with fire and brushed the stark posibility away.
It couldn't be... or could it? he smiled wryly thinking of the obvious answer to his question, Him. He was enough reason to believe in the possibility.
"Did I do something wrong?" Hannah looked somewhat uncomfortable, it was obvious from the way she fidgeted while twirling her fingers and crossing them over each other.
"I will be away for some time" he said instead of answering her question.
She quirked a brow in question which he subtly tried to dodge. Now she was sure something had gone wrong and she thought of her mother's words, encouraging her to try and go out more often. None of this would've happened if she had just listened and had been kissed at least once before. She scolded herself and felt tge slight twinge of... something that constricted her breathing pipes, squeezing the air out of her. Was that rejection or dejection? She didn't want to ponder much on it lest it ends up crushing her entire being. For a female to move on to the next male, things like these happen right? She slightly bowed her head to force the tears pooling in her back back.
Her sudden change in attitude didn't go unnoticed by him. She might have tried to be subtle in hiding her pain struck eyes but he caught on to them... why is she crying? Can't she see he was only trying to protect her. Did she think he didn't want to devour her on the spot... but that will only open a can of vicious bees. He lifted his hands to try and comfort her but she subconsciously took two steps back and he cursed under his breathe.
"Hannah" her name rolled out of his tongue like it was only meant to be said the way he said it. She felt a flutter 9f something in her stomach and she lifted her eyes to look at him. His gaze was scorching and heavily hooded like he had planted extra eyelashes ontop of his already thick ones that looked almost bushy. He raised a single hand and this time she wanted him to cradle her, she wanted nothing more than to lean on his touch and let him rain tender touches on her face... her body even. She felt heat pool in, creeping from her neck up to her face leaving a burning sensation in its wake. She was scared to even blink, afraid he might be gone with the wind. She looked in his bewitching eyes, a mistake! She was lost for centuries in them. Were they always this... beautiful? She couldn't tell for sure but she would give up her soul to be lost in them for eternity! What was wrong with her.
He took one long stride and covered the space between them. She felt something touch her lips and it only registered later to her that she was about to drool... infront of him, because of him! She swallowed and tried to avert her gaze to run a raincheck on her wellbeing but his masculine hand caught her face, imprisoning her in place.
"Salem" her breath hitched as her voice suddenly grew squeaky.
"We both want what is forbidden but I can't help myself with the way you look" he breathed the words in her nape, his hot breath teasing her senses... sending her last thread of sanity far far away from her.
Her heartbeat became erratic... frantic. She wanted him to.... what did she want him to do?
"Salem... Please" she pleaded with him but in truth she had no idea what she wanted him to do.
"F*xck" he growled a few other obscenities under his breath and Hannah's senses heightened.
He caught her slender body in his arms and locked their heated gazes while he lay on the plushy soil beneath them... So soft like sand dunes. He searched her eyes for a change of heart, an ounce of fear. He found none. He flipped himself so that she lay beneath him, his towering body completely covering hers. She nuzzled his nose in her fiery red hair, inhaling her scent and he growled again. She didn't know what he was doing but she was sure of the effect it had on her. She sighed in pleasure and felt her core tighten in... something sweet.
She closed her eyes and murmured incoherent things that she's never heard before and when she opened them, his lips hovered over her mouth. He left pecks on her mouth going down to her collar... he trailed wet kisses until he found her twin peaks. She kept her eyes locked on him and she felt him loosen the strings on the front of her dress to leave her chest bare... she shivered lightly and the fire raged, burning with a fury that cast its light over to them and her blush increased yet again. He touched them like something that might break if he pressed too hard nd Hannah closed her eyes when she shot them open, nearly jumping to her feet when his hot mouth dipped her left nipple in.
"Isn't this what you wanted little female?" he flashed his devilish smile at her and she smiled shyly.
'Yes... I love that' her mind screamed t her but she could never bring herself to say it oit loud.
