Before he could retaliate, I did the only thing I could think of to salvage the situation—I kissed him.
Sealing my lips to his, I rocked my hips forward as I waited to see what he would do. When he stayed frozen, I panicked and pulled back.
“Sorry, everything I said was a lie. You just bring out the stubborn side of me unlike anyone I’ve ever met before, and I can’t help myself sometimes. I hate the fact that you hate me so much that I go out of my way to hate you first or act like I don’t care.”
He stared, and a tear fell from my eye at the vulnerability I expressed. I couldn’t take it anymore, the silence and the tension had officially become too much.
On top of the secret I held for Simon, I couldn’t do this one too. Too many secrets battled for space in my head, and the more I gained, the less I was able to ignore the things I’d rather forget. I needed to forget more than I needed to deny this.
Lifting up, I started to make my way to the bathroom, stumbling in the dark, my eyes blurred with tears. I needed to get out of there. I’d even brave heading out into the rain if I needed to, but first, I just needed to make it to the bathroom.
A hand clamped onto my wrist, stopping me in the hallway. I stood, staring at the darkness, not willing to turn around just yet.
“Peach, I,” he paused, his voice softer than I’d ever heard it. “I told you already, Idon’thate you. It’s just easier to keep my distance. I,” he paused, presumably debating his words. “You were right about one thing.”
I stayed staring into the shadows, waiting. I couldn’t turn around until he revealed more. I couldn’t afford the vulnerability if what he was going to say wasn’t what I wanted to hear.
“What?”
“That I was projecting my attraction onto you. Every day, I see you wearing your dresses and looking all cute and shit and not even knowing it, it’s harder and harder to deny you. Iwant youso much, Lennox, but Ican’t.”
Turning, I no longer cared if he saw my tears. He couldn’t just say something like that and then shut down.
“Why? I don’t understand. If you like me, why do you push me away?” I cried, clutching onto his forearms.
“You know why, you just need to admit it to yourself,” he gritted, hanging his head, taking a deep breath as my tears streamed down my face. He looked back up, an uncommon softness in his eyes now. “Ssh, don’t cry, James. Ihateitwhen you cry.”
“Then why do I always cry because of you?”
He dropped his head onto the top of mine, and I could feel his breaths coming in deep as he inhaled. Slade’s hands had migrated into my hair, trapping me in a cave of him. His scent swirled around me, making me intoxicated. When his breathing slowed, he pulled back, leaning down to peer into my eyes.
Slade started to say something but stopped, clenching his jaw, his nostrils flaring. His hands flexed in my hair as he stopped himself from saying something. A small amount of light flickered over his features, painting him in a dim shadow, his eyes almost glimmering.
“This can’t be anything more than tonight.”
He slammed his lips onto mine before I could respond, and I caved to his touch. My inner voice wanted to fight back, so used to the fight between us, it felt like a loss to give in. But when he made my toes curl with the way his tongue swirled around mine, his tongue ring sliding over my own, I felt literal shivers all the way down to my toes. I couldn’t stop now. I wouldn’t.
Grabbing my thighs, he lifted me up, my legs wrapping around his waist instinctively. My hands tugged and pulled on his hair, the buzzed parts creating slight sensations on my palms as the long locks threaded through my fingers. He dropped me on a surface, and I laid back as he continued to move forward, leaning over me. Once our lips had sealed together this time, it was like they refused to be apart. Who needed air when the man kissed you like the world might end if he didn’t?
Slade was everything and more of the version I’d dreamed. He dominated the experience but was delicate, conscious of the force he used as he rocked into me. I cursed the darkness inhibiting me from seeing his face, the look of his desire as he ravished me. When he pulled back to catch his breath, I sucked in a lungful before he crashed back into me.
My lips were swollen from his kisses, but they missed him the second he was gone, and I knew it would never be enough. The voice that urged me to have caution, to realize his words of it only being one night, attempted to poke through, but I ignored it, not caring of my potential heartbreak. Slade’s kisses were intoxicating, and I was drunk on him.
Rocking into me, my legs tightened around him, pulling him closer. I could feel his cock against my pussy, the fabric a thin barrier between us. The shirt had ridden up to my waist, my lower section completely open to him. His hands started to shift up my torso, his large palms warming my skin with each brush of them. I felt feminine in his grip, his hands encompassing my waist and torso in one handful, my usual bountiful hips feeling tiny in his large grip.
Pulling apart for air again, this time, he began to suck on my neck, his thumbs making circles on my skin as he kept his upward trek. They’d made it under my breasts now, his thumbs tracing the area, and I rocked, hoping to push him to where I wanted.
“Feeling greedy,Peaches?” Slade smirked into my neck as he broke away from the mark he was sure to have left. I wanted to yell at him for the inevitable hickey I had, but something about it made me feel smug. He claimed it was only one night, but he’d marked me. There was some part of him that wanted everyone to see his claim, even if no one knew it was him, I would.
“Touch me,please,” I begged.
He didn’t reply, but he dived down, taking my nipple into his mouth, his tongue ring now swirling around me. The metal had warmed from our passionate kiss, giving me a zing as he traced the sensitive peak. I arched up into his mouth, my lower section thrusting forward as well, his cock hitting my magic button.
“Fuck it,” he growled before biting me on the nip.
I’d never mixed pleasure and pain together before, my experiences having been pretty vanilla, but as Slade bit my swollen nipple, I came so hard, my orgasm ripped through me. My moan escaped me, echoing around the space as I shuddered beneath him.
“Jesus, James, that was the fucking hottest thing I’ve ever heard.”
