Morana opened her eyes, stunned at the force of that kiss, stunned at her own reaction, stunned at him.
She saw his lips, swollen, wearing the evidence of her wild mouth, and her skin heated, her nipples pebbling even harder, even with the gun pressed to her heart.
His jaw clenched, a vein popping on the side of his head as his eyes pierced hers for a long moment. She held his
gaze, never blinking once, the water sluicing down their faces as they stared at each other.
He stayed unmoving for a beat, then two, their lips hovering right next to each other, neither making the move, their eyes on each other before he closed his eyes for a small second.
He closed his eyes, for that small second.
His Adam’s apple bobbed above the knot of his tie, for that small second.
And then his arm went down.
A breath Morana hadn’t known she’d been holding escaped her in a rush.
He stepped back, not looking into her eyes again, leaving her to be kissed by the cold rain and chilled air, his jacket falling out of her grip as he bent down swiftly to retrieve her gun from the muddy ground.
Standing back up to his full height, his white shirt plastered to his torso, wet skin and ink peeking underneath the transparent fabric, making Morana swallow reflexively, he extended her own gun back to her. Morana let her eyes rove away from his chest to his red-knuckled hand that was making her heavy gun look small.
She took it from him silently, her fingers brushing his, sending tingles up her arm.
He didn’t react, as was usual with him.
He also didn’t look into her eyes, which was unusual.
He just turned on his heel and headed towards his huge vehicle, the rain pelting down on his imposing figure in the utter night, after kissing the breath out of her.
‘I get my mouth on you, you’ll never be the same.’
His words came back to her. He’d been right.
Morana looked down at the gun he’d picked up for her and handed back to her.
She’d wanted something. He’d given it to her, in a way only he could. He’d not uttered a word. But he’d made his choice. So had she.
Taking a deep breath in, Morana swallowed, stepping forward.
And she followed him into the dark.
