I canfeelhow much she wants me. I can feel it in her hands clutching my shirt and her lips pressed against mine, the way her mouth opens for me when my tongue drifts along the edge of it. And I want her every bit as fucking badly.
I have since the day she woke up in my hotel room.
The feeling of her gasping against my mouth, leaning breathlessly into me, takes my breath away. I can feel all my better sense flooding out of me, and all that’s left behind is desire that goes beyond wanting, that feels likeneed. Like if I let her go right now, I might not ever recover.
I lean forward, my hands on her waist as I deepen the kiss, and I feel her knees buckle a little. She stumbles in the sand, and as I catch her I stumble too, both of us going down into the sand. Lidiya lands on her ass, falling backwards as my arm goes around her, and I can hear her laughing as I end up atop her, her legs on either side of my hips, her sundress up around her thighs.
“Don’t get up,” she breathes, her hands fisting in my shirt to pull me closer. “Don’t stop.”
I’m not sure if I even could now.
I hold her against me, my arm wrapped across her back, and her lips find mine again as one of her hands reaches up to brush across my hair, her soft moan filling the night air between us.
I can’t remember ever having been this hard in my entire life. I’m aching to be inside of her this instant, right here on the beach. It’s the barest thread of self-control that keeps me from it, the knowledge that she deserves better than that, better than a quick fuck in the sand.
I want to spend all night worshiping every inch of her, and I don’t know that we’re going to have that kind of time any longer.
I’d seen her with him, earlier tonight, when I’d followed to make sure she was safe. They were eating at an outdoor patio of some high-end beach restaurant, side by side at a round table, and I’d seen him lean over to kiss her. Not too long–not an overly romantic kiss, but it had made me feel as if my blood were on fire all the same.
I couldn’t stand seeing him so close to her, knowing what he’d be doing with her,toher, later on. It was the moment that I’d known this had gone too far. That I shouldn’t let myself get so close to her again.
And now we’re going further still–and I can’t find it in myself to stop it.
Her hands are sliding underneath my shirt, nails scraping over the ridges of my abs, and I shudder with need under her touch. “If you keep touching me like this,” I whisper against her mouth, pressing my forehead against hers as I close my eyes, “we’re going to end up doing this right here on the beach.”
“We could go back to your room,” she whispers against my lips. “It’s not that far, right?”
A jolt of pure lust goes through me at the suggestion. “You need to get back,” I murmur. “What excuse would you have?”
“I’ll say I went for a walk and lost track of time. I already said I was jet-lagged. I’ll say I found a bar that was open late. That I sat out by the beach and had a drink. I can come up with something.”
The words are whispered in between kisses, her lips grazing over mine in a way that feels intoxicating, impossible to resist, impossible to deny. “He’s asleep,” she adds. “Maybe he’ll wake up when I come back in, but he’s a heavy sleeper.”
“You’resurehe’s asleep?”
Lidiya nods. “He was out by the time I left the house. It’s fine–I’ll come up with an excuse. Don’t worry about it–”
She kisses me again, before I can say anything.
I know I should tell her that it’s my job to worry about it, that anything that could risk her relationship with Grisha is impossible, that the mission is the most important thing. But her lips are pressing against mine, her tongue hot and soft in my mouth, her thigh smooth under my hand, and I can’t make any of those thoughts reach my lips.
I can’t think of anything past how much I want her.
I lift her up off of the sand, getting to my feet, still kissing her as she clings to me. It feels for a moment as if neither of us will be able to stop long enough to get to the hotel, but somehow we break apart, her fingers laced through mine as we make our way up the beach, through the sand back towards the hotel.
We barely make it into the elevator before my lips are on hers again, backing her against the wall as I push the button for my floor with one hand, the other tangled in her hair as my tongue tangles with hers.
I hear her moan as my hips lean into hers, my aching cock pressed against her thigh as I devour her mouth, desperate for more of her. With the decision made, it feels as if every second that it takes to get back to the room is a second too long.
The moment the doors open, we both stumble out of the elevator into the hall, hands still roaming everywhere, as if neither of us can get enough. We make it a few feet down the hallway before I reach for her, pushing her back against the wall as my mouth finds hers again, my entire body aching as if I can’t stop touching her for even a moment, all of the repressed desire coming out at once as the floodgates open.
“Levin–” she moans my name, her hands sliding under my shirt again, and I know I’m going to lose control if I don’t get her somewhere private, and quickly.
I can’t really afford to get arrested for public indecency right now. That’s one failure in this mission that I don’t think I could talk my way out of.
Somehow, we make it to my room. I fumble in my pocket for my room key, swiping it as Lidiya brushes her lips across my neck, my arm still around her as I push the door open, and we’re finally in the quiet, cool silence of my room.
The moment that the door closes behind us I have her up against it, my hands on her waist as I kiss her hard, groaning against her lips.
