Raijin didn’t say anything else; he kept his palm pressed against her cheek. Needing to do something, anything she lifted her own hand to cover his and pressed her cheek against his hand. “I’m glad.”
His eyes widened before he suddenly fell to his knees reaching out to her, he pulled her into his arms.
Startled by his movement, Sabina could only be held. “I swear, they’ll never touch you again.” He promised fiercely.
“Raijin,” she pulled back, so that she could look at him. She tapped her two fingers to his mask, “Can I?”
His expression turned weary, but he gave her a short nod. Releasing a breath of relief, she placed her two fingers within the mask and tugged it down gently revealing his face.
“I wanted to see your face, but I didn’t like the circumstance that forced you to show it,” she explained taking him in. “I wanted to see it because you chose to show me.” As she took in his delicate features, and thin lips her eyes traced along his nose and thick lashes. Closing the space, between them, “I want to do one more thing,” her lashes lowered hiding her eyes from his. “Can I?”
He gave another short nod. “Yes.”
Closing her eyes, she leaned forward pressing her lips against his. It was nothing more than a small innocent kiss. But when she attempted to retreat he cupped the back of her head, holding her still he slowly took her lips in a heated kiss.
She moaned as he drew her close, her hands falling to his shoulders as he supped on her lips.
Sabina had thought the heat between them had been stirred by his hunger, but obviously she’d been wrong. She was being devoured, and tasted, he played with her mouth like she was the most expensive succulent that he needed to savor.
Was this what a kiss should feel like?
Her years of kissing her ex, became black and white.
Raijin’s, lips drew her into a land of color and passion.
He retracted his lips; she gasped her heart racing. They didn’t pull away from each other, only sat still breathing each other in.
He stood, releasing her after a time drawing his mask back up. “I will be leaving Alek and Malcolm to guard you, after you’re healed we’ll be meeting with the priestess.”
On that note he left her room.
She pressed her shaking fingers to her lips. Releasing a shuddering breath, she sagged against the pillows of her bed. Her arms flung out, staring at the ceiling she wondered at what had changed between them with such a simple kiss. Groaning she rolled over to sleep.
Tomorrow, she would get to see her daughter finally.
Raijin
The kiss had been a mistake.
Raijin could still feel the shaking in his hands. His stomach twisted in hunger; his mouth watered at the mere thought of her.
He shuddered with the memory of her body melting into his own. Which only triggered the memory of when she’d been splayed beneath him, her body completely on display.
He knew better.
“Are you alright?”
Alek asked as he entered the hallway.
Straightening Raijin gave a firm nod, “I’ll return once I’m done. Don’t let anyone in.”
“Yes.”
Walking away, Raijin fought his irrational need to turn back around. He had an enemy to catch. He needed to return to being cool and calculated. He couldn’t afford being distracted right now, not even by a tempting witch.
Lanias
Lanias got out of the taxi. Standing on the corner of the Shade she took in the few blocks that she’d come to call her home after all these years. A few witches walked down the street talking amongst themselves about the latest movie.
