He moaned in the nook of my neck, and I felt every inch of his length inside me. It felt eerily real. I opened my eyes only to find him on top of me. Still half asleep it took me a good minute to realise what was happening. I was taken aback to find him in my bed and already inside me.
I locked eyes with him " Mason, please " I meekly pleaded, cradling his face with my hands. I wanted him to stop, my poor bleeding heart couldn't take another beating.
" Lily, I need this. Let me " Mason pleaded back, brushing his lips on mine, and resting his forehead on mine. I didn't know what to say to that. I gulped and nodded, in agreement. I didn't have it in me to say no to him. I wanted him, not like that but that was the only way I could have him in my life.
Once again, I fell into the same trap, and let myself be dragged in the murkiness that Mason swam.
Mason deepened the kiss, hungry, fiery and I lost myself in his touch once again. His roughness was something that I had already tasted the night before. I revelled in his hunger, in the hope it was for me and only me. When Mason pulled away from the kiss to catch his breath, I somewhat came to my senses and opened my eyes to gaze into the endless frosty blue of his eyes. I lost myself in them, I loved him so much that it hurt.
" Lily" He softly called, tenderly nipping at my lips and once again I was at a loss for words.
I closed my eyes and surrendered to his touch, taking in every single feeling, and sensation that he awakened in me. I was floating so high on pleasure that everything else, dissipated and all I felt was him, all of him.
Mason groaned, kissing my lips and stilling in between my legs. The roughness of his kiss, brought me back to him, demanding as the night before. Behind the steel coldness lay, a passionate man.
" Mason, " I love you. I wanted to say but the words never left my lips. I wanted to tell him so bad, but I knew, I would lose him.
Mason locked eyes with me and smiled " I know," he whispered against my lips, making me realise that I might've let on more than I thought I did.
I pursed my lips, and closed my eyes, trying to get a sense of what he said. I wasn't sure if we were speaking of the same thing. We stayed like that, gazing into each other eyes for a good while. His thumbs gently brushed my cheeks, while I held onto his wrists. I relished his touch, the closeness that we shared in those moments was more than enough to give me hope that there could be more than just that.
Mason kissed my lips, and slowly pulled away to roll out of the bed. I watched him pad across the floor to the bathroom and turn on the light. When he returned with a damp towel, I already knew what it was for.
" I'm going to take a shower" Mason broke the silence when I just stared at his hand with the proffered towel.
" Alright," I smiled and took the towel out of his hand. He was himself between closed doors. The prim and proper, pompous Mason took a back seat, letting his other side shine. Mason had so many sides that I had lost count.
The sound of rushing water brought me back to my senses and realised that I was still in the same position as he'd left me. With the towel in my hand staring at the bathroom door. I glanced at the boxes on the floor. I had a choice to make. It was a gamble. I could win or lose. I just had to bet on the right horse. I slid out of the bed and placed the towel on the chair and slowly made my way to the bathroom, and stopped in the doorway watching Mason sit under the water, bracing himself against the wall. I would have paid all the money I had just to know one thought of his. I tugged on the t-shirt I was wearing and threw it on the floor. I was putting all the faith I had in the Mason that showed only behind closed doors.
I slipped into the shower, and hugged him from behind, resting my cheek on his shoulder. He didn't flinch, or recoil, but took one hand off the wall and placed it over my hand. I wanted so many things with him, but for now, I would have to settle for this. Mason pushed himself off the wall and turned in my arms to face me. Locking eyes with each other, I brushed my thumb over his lips and smiled at him. I was at peace with myself. I was finally ready to embrace the storm that Mason would pull me into.
" I was asleep the first time around" I grinned at him, " I think I deserve a do-over" I drawled the last words to make a point. His word was coming back to bite him.
Mason chuckled " Is that so?" The levity in his tone and expression was more than enough to tell that whatever troubled him had been brushed away.
I hummed and nodded " I don't think, it's fair when you get to have all the fun" I playfully pouted and leaned in to kiss his lips.
Mason flipped me over, pinning me against the shower wall " Nothing is fair in love and war" He hoisted me up, placing himself between my legs.
I wrapped my legs around his waist crossing my ankles together. I wanted to make sure, he wouldn't go anywhere.
" True" I grinned and wrapped my arm around his neck " Let's see how dirty can you play," I impishly grinned and watched his smile fall, and the amusement in his eyes vanish.
Mason lowered me on the floor and unclasped my hands from around his neck. It seemed that I have touched a sensitive cord. In one swift move, he turned around and pinned against the wall with his body.
" Are you sure you want to see how dirty can I play?" There was a warning in his tone, as his hands caressed my curves, from my bottom to my armpits. He stilled and slowly raised each arm on the wall grabbing my wrists in his hands.
" Yes," I breathlessly huffed and felt his hand fist my hair and tuned my head to the side.
Mason hummed running his nose on my cheek " You play a dangerous game, Lily. Why aren't you afraid of the big bad wolf?" Mason crooned in my ear and cupped my breast.
Because the big bad wolf isn't as bad or as big as he thinks he is. Those words sat on the tip of my tongue and I pondered for a few seconds whether to say them or not
" The big bad wolf isn't as bad as he thinks he is" I made my decision and tried to sound as sensual as I could when those words left my lips.
