“I was trying to be nice. Fuck that. I’ll show you what I want,” he growls just before his mouth slams into mine.
I’m robbed of my ability to breathe and think in a split-second. I always imagined our first kiss being sweet and gentle, but there’s nothing gentle about the way Marcus is claiming my mouth.
He takes a step closer, forcing me up against the couch, as his tongue drives into my mouth. It feels as if the whole world is lit on fire as I taste him for the first time.
The kiss is aggressive, it’s hungry, but most of all it’s filled with determination to claim me, to love me – to live.
When he pulls away, he doesn’t say anything, but instead just looks at me with so much heat simmering in his eyes that I know I’m in trouble. I’ll always be in trouble when it comes to Marcus because there is no way that I’ll ever be able to resist him. I’ll keep coming back because he is the only man I want.
I clear my throat and open my mouth, but no words come out. He’s kissed me senseless.
“Is that clear enough for you?” he asks as the corner of his mouth twitches.
I nod fast. Damn, he doesn’t have to ask twice.
“Now that we finally have our first kiss out of the way, will you go on a date with me?”
I nod again, while my lips stretch into a smile.
“I’ll call you,” he says as he takes a step back.
I clear my throat again and tug the strap of my bag over my shoulder.
“Yeah, sure,” I say when I finally find my voice again.
Marcus walks me to the door and holds it open for me.
I’m not sure how to greet him now, so I end up giving him a lame wave.
“Night.”
I take a step forward but his hand takes hold of the back of my neck, and he pulls me right up against him. He kisses me hard. It’s nothing near the mind-blowing kiss he gave me seconds ago, but it’s heated enough to send my heart racing again.
He pulls back, and with a cocky smile, he says, “Night, Pretty-Girl. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
I walk away from him, stunned out of my mind.
Now I understand why the girls used to line up to be with Marcus. When he turns on the sex appeal, there’s no way you’re going to walk away with dry panties.
Chapter 17
MARCUS
It feels like my blood has been set on fire. Everything is brighter, and I can’t experience life fast enough. I’m indulging in things I didn’t show any interest in before I got sick. I’ve even started reading. I’m a sucker for any kind of survival story, I don’t care if it’s fiction or non-fiction. It’s fuel for the passion surging through me.
When I woke up this morning the first thing I thought of was the kiss.
Fuck, that kiss.
I never wanted it to end.
Feeling Willow open up to me gave me a tremendous sense of dominance, which I needed. Up until yesterday, Willow was the dominant one in our friendship. I let her take the lead on everything because I was too scared to make the leap myself.
But no more.
Fuck, it’s good to be back to my old self. No, fuck that! This is the better, more improved me.
I want to seduce her. I want to make her want me until she’s ready to come apart from just a simple touch from me. I want to make her feel as alive as she’s made me feel.
