She shuddered at his words, and he felt her tremble against him. Yet he knew it wasn’t from fear. It was from the same anticipation that was building within him.
“I thought about you, too,” she whispered. “I’ve been watching you,” she confessed.
He swallowed those words as he brushed his lips against hers. It started with a light touch, a tentative exploration as he fit his mouth on top of hers, tasting her sweetness.
Yet slowly, it evolved.
Her mouth opened, allowing him to taste her deeper. Her kiss was as untutored as his, but just as keen.
Excitement thumped in his veins, a surge of electricity enveloping the two of them as they clung to each other.
His wounds hurt, but the pain was drowned out by the pure pleasure of her touch—by this precarious moment he wanted nothing but to preserve forever in time.
“You’re so sweet,” he spoke against her lips, “too sweet for me.”
Blood from his split lip coated his tongue, and he realized she likely tasted it too.
“I’m getting you all bloody,” he grimaced. “I’m sorry.”
“No, no.” She shook her head, dipping it and kissing him again. “I want it. I wantyou,” she said breathlessly, her tongue coming out to lick the open wound on his lip, soothing it.
She licked languidly at his lips, almost like a cat getting her last drop of milk.
He caught her tongue between his teeth before he sucked it in his mouth, deepening the kiss. She leaned further into him, holding tightly as she sighed against him. Oh, but what a sweet sigh it was.
The kiss seemed to go on forever as they tasted each other. Lucero rocked herself slightly against him, though still mindful not to hurt him.
“I’ve never kissed someone before,” she whispered as he kept nibbling at her lips. “Was… Was it good?” she asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty.
“I wouldn’t know,” he answered proudly, his palm molding to her cheek. “I’ve never kissed anyone either.”
He felt her sudden intake of breath before she leaned in and kissed him again. And again. She peppered kisses on his lips until they were both breathless.
“I’ll give you all my kisses if you give me yours,” she whispered, her hands tentatively moving up as she cupped his jaw—the only place that wasn’t as hurt or swollen.
She stroked him lightly, and in that moment he wished he could see her expression.
He blinked repeatedly, light filtering through his swollen lids. Still, he could only make out a vague contour.
“They’re yours,” he said, knowing his words to be true the moment he uttered them.
He felt an affinity with her that he could not explain, and something deep in his soul told him this was right—theywere right.
She smiled against his lips, lightly nuzzling her cheek against his before sucking his bloody lip into her mouth.
That she wasn’t bothered by the state of him told him everything he needed to know about her. She, just like him, had no care about appearances. Only about what was inside.
He hesitated as he skimmed his hand up her rib cage, laying his open palm on top of her breast to feel the beats of her heart. Taking her hand, he did the same, letting her see the way his pulse was out of control.
“Twice you’ve saved me already. You’ve been the literal light at the end of the tunnel for me, mi luz. Thank you.”
She swallowed hard, her pulse speeding under his touch.
“Don’t thank me yet, Raf. One way… One way I’ll get you out of here,” she promised fervently. “Until then I’ll do my best to help you.”
“What did I do to deserve you?” he mused quietly. “You’re my guardian angel, aren’t you?”
Noelle rested her forehead against his, taking in his warmth and trying to forget the fact that he thought her to be Lucero. This… This moment was everything she’d dreamed about.
