As we kiss, really kiss, everything changes.
Something inside me crashes. A splitting atom, exploding with all the strength of a shattering nucleus. After all these years, I’ve finally found my place in the universe.
CHAPTERTWENTY-SIX
His lips brush mine, delicately, as we share this timeless, passionate moment. Breathing him in, I melt in his arms, feeling the light inside me return as a blazing inferno. The world ceases to exist, stops on its axis, and every ounce of my fear is washed away.
My head swims, and the waves of tranquility leave me feeling as if I finally belong. There’s such an intense connection between us, a mutual need. He is my salvation and torment.
I am forever changed.
Our lips suddenly part, and we take in shaky, shallow breaths. Staring into each other’s eyes in awe, passion ignites. Unable to fight it anymore, he pulls me into a fiery, demanding kiss, his hands working their way around my body.
Feeling every curve, inching up my back beneath my shirt, setting my skin on fire. I moan against his lips, as my arms find their way around his neck.
He brings me closer, until there’s no space left between us. All I can feel is his heart beating against my chest.
Our breaths mingle, as he presses his tongue to the seam of my lips. With a moan, I open my mouth, and his tongue lightly strokes mine. His hand travels up my spine, until he’s slanting my neck back further, deepening the kiss.
I have never in my life felt something this wonderful, this powerful. Our worlds have collided, and somehow, someway, the universe has brought us together.
Our kiss breaks, and I rest my forehead in the crook of his neck. Hugging me tight, he holds the back of my head. My stomach flutters, and I am an emotional, quivering mess.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a wildfire. I did what I could to get by, and I did it with ease. I didn’t have a care in the world, until I met him.
Jaxon Edwards.
He brought out a different side of me, challenged me. We challenged each other. When we first kissed, I broke my only rule, for him, because I hadn’t felt anything so significant for another person since my parent’s deaths.
He made me feelalive.
Then, I finally broke down. I fell apart right in his arms, and told him my story. I confided in him, believed that I meant something to him, and he fucking tore my heart into pieces.
He reminded me of how alone I was in this cold, cruel world, and stole away every ounce of strength I had left.
The only way to save myself was to become numb. To shut down. To hide within the darkness deep in my soul.
Finally, I see the light.
I see the rain falling freely from the sky. I see the leaves rustling on the trees from the wind. I see the stormy clouds, the gravestones beyond the gates in the cemetery, and I seehim.
Staring emotionally into my eyes, as if I’m the center of his universe. The only thing that matters.
Before I can blink, my lips crash onto his, stealing his breath away. Savoring the taste of him, I take his collar between my fists, pulling him closer.
Jaxon groans against my mouth, deep in his chest, and lifts me into his arms. My legs lock around his hips, as I run my fingers through his silky, wet hair. Tightening his arms around me, his tongue firmly brushes mine, and I drown in bliss.
“Tell me again,” I breathe against his lips.
“I’m falling in love with you.”
He kisses me hard, with an urgency, putting every piece of me back together. I softly moan, shuddering against him.
“Jax—I—”
“I don’t expect you to say anything,” he speaks over me, and I shiver. “Fuck. You’re cold. Let’s get you back in the car.”
Placing me back onto the pavement, he takes my hand and leads me toward the warmth.
