He stared down at me, the orange flame casting a glowing light in his forest eyes. There were very rare occasions when Daniel had his walls lowered in his eyes. I could count only two occasions when that occurred. One being his sister's wedding and the other…right in this very moment.
“I’m out, Daniel.” The words slipped past my lips.
His eyebrows pulled together in a frown, the confusion evident on his face. This was not a decision that I had thought through clearly, but now that the words had left my lips, I couldn’t take them back.
“What do you mean you’re out?”
“I’m done working for you. You were right, this was a bad idea from the beginning, and I should have left the first time you told me to. But now I’m doing exactly what you wanted all along.”
“Selena…”
“Congratulations, Daniel, you have your wish.” I choked back tears as I turned back to the house.
Chapter twenty-four
Plaguing My Mind
Selena
Ihadmadeitup just ten steps toward the house when I was grabbed by the hand. I whirled around, ready to chew into him, but I didn’t even get the chance because suddenly, the breath in my lungs was stolen from my lungs by his lips.
It took all of two seconds for me to realize what was happening. This man had his lips on mine. And he was kissing me. Passionately.
I should pull away and stop this from going any further. But my body was in disagreement with my mind. It melted into him, my hands coming to grip his that had cupped my face.
Within the fourth second, I was lost in him. I was consumed by every aspect of him, again. There was not one cell in my body that was not aware of him. His touch, his hold, his scent. He had me, and I didn’t want him to let me go.
My fingers thread through his dark locks, pulling at the soft strands. I was balancing on the tips of my toes, trying to reach him. Daniel must have seen my struggle and decided that I had struggled enough and lifted me by the backs of my legs and wound my legs around his waist.
I ground myself into him, making him groan into my mouth; the sound was deep and vibrated through his chest. The waves of pleasure rolled through my spine, and I was all but putty in this man’s hands as he cupped my ass and squeezed the soft flesh.
The heat pooled into my core, and I was sure that my leggings were soaked. I ground into him again, the friction quelling the heat that was accumulating inside of me.
I needed more of him. I needed all of it. This time I would be greedy and take it all.
I was done playing around. I was done denying myself the one thing I wanted the most. The one thing I had sought after for so long.
Finally, we broke apart for air. Our foreheads pressed up against each other. Our breaths mingled together in a hot mess. Our chests rose and fell rapidly, the adrenaline of the kiss pumping through our blood.
When I dared to open my eyes again, I was met with a pair of dark green eyes that were almost completely consumed by his dilated pupils. His grip on my ass already told me all I needed to know about what he wanted. But it was his eyes that surprised me. The obvious desire was there, but there was something deeper there, something that I didn’t want to get into at that moment. It was too dangerous of me to address, not only for my heart but the security I had built around myself.
He opened his lips to speak, but I covered his mouth with my palm.
“I don’t need words tonight, Daniel. I need to feel something other than his weight on my chest.” I hadn’t meant to say the last part, but he didn’t seem to catch on to it.
This man was going to be the death of me. But if I was to go out during an orgasm, then I don’t know what better wording to have on my tombstone.
‘Here lies Selena Abrams. Friend, Foe and all-around ho’.
It had a ring to it if you asked me.
I opened my lips to tell him what I wanted but instead thought better of it just in case the wrong words fell out. Instead, I held onto him tighter and pulled him to me until there was virtually no space left between us.
“Make me feel something, Daniel Sinclair. Give me everything you have.” I brushed my lips against his. This man was a heaven and hell combined. He was both torture and pleasure. The sweetest kind of punishment.
He smashed his lips down onto mine, and I was transported. The lake house and the lake faded away; once again all that existed was him and me.
We pulled apart, gasping for air and hungry for each other. I saw stars in my eyes as I stared at his beautiful face. His green eyes shone against the moonlight above, dancing with stars that swam in his beautiful abyss.
