“Cheers.” I push through to the kitchen and scan the room, but she’s not in here. I spot Ronnie and Ivy through the sliding screen door, though, and I head outside to see if she’s with them.
“Have you seen Lily?” I ask, wrapping my arm around Ivy’s shoulders.
“Nope, sorry. I haven’t seen her since you got here.”
I press my lips together. Something isn’t right. I make my way back inside, waving to people who are calling out to me, but I can’t stop until I’ve found Lily. After another quick scan of the living room, I move down the hall towards her bedroom. I knock, but the noise from the party is too loud to hear if she’s in there so I carefully push open the door. The light is off, so I switch it on, but it only confirms what Ialready know–she’s not in here. Not only that, but her skateboard is gone too.
I’m too late. She left me.
Shoulders slumped, I switch off the light and pull the door closed. Unable to face anyone, I slip into my own bedroom next door and freeze when I spot Lily perched on the edge of my bed. My sketchbook is in her hands, her bag and skateboard lying on the floor at her feet.
The lamp on my desk is on, casting a soft, muted glow around the room, but it’s enough to see her trembling lips and watery eyes. I close the door softly behind me, flicking the lock before leaning back against it.
“Are you okay?” I murmur.
She shakes her head. “What is this?” She holds up my sketchbook, and I don’t even need to look at it to know what she’s referring to.
“It’s you.” It’s the portrait of her in the little black dress and diamond necklace from that night in Sydney.
“Why?”
I push my hair back off my face before walking over to stand in front of her. She tilts her head up to meet my heavy gaze. “I was under your spell from the day we met, Kitten… I was just too afraid to admit it to myself.”
I take the sketchbook from her hands and toss it on my desk behind me. “What’s this?” I point to her bag. “I thought you said you wouldn’t leave.”
“Herc–”
“Why are you in here?” Lily’s breathing hitches as I run afinger across her cheek and under her jaw before sliding my hand over her pulse point, loving the way it races under my touch. “If you were going to leave me, you should have just gone.”
Her pupils dilate as she looks up at me, her tongue darting out to wet her lips. “I was going to leave a note, but then I found the portrait.”
She gasps as I lean down until our breath mingles. “Only one problem with that plan, Kitten.”
“W-what?” she stutters.
“I’m not letting you go that easily.” I crush my lips to hers, groaning as her whiskey taste mingles with the overwhelming scent of cherry blossoms. Her hands tangle in my hair, tugging me closer as she deepens the kiss. She’s intoxicating, consuming me with every stroke of her tongue against mine.
“Herc,” she pants against my mouth. “I need more.”
“I got you.” I press my lips to hers once more before helping her move up the bed until she’s settled against the pillows. I hover over her, drinking in her flushed cheeks, her heaving chest. “You’re so fucking beautiful. I need to hear you say you’re mine.”
“I’m yours, Herc. All yours.” Lily pulls me to her, nipping my bottom lip before soothing it with her tongue.
I groan, slipping my hand up her top, squeezing her breast gently over her lace bra. I trail kisses along her jaw and down the side of her throat. I take my time, nipping and sucking the soft skin, marking heras mine.
“Please, Herc,” she begs, her fingers tightening in my hair. The sting causes my cock to jerk, and I pray that I can last long enough to have her screaming out my name more than once tonight.
I give her what she wants, my hand trailing down her body to cup her over the denim. “Are you wet for me, baby?” She mewls in response, and I run my tongue over the sensitive spot under her ear, loving the way she shivers underneath me.
I pop the button on her jeans and pause, waiting to see if she’s going to stop me. Instead, she squirms, pressing up into my hand, and I chuckle. “Is my girl a little needy?”
Lily whimpers. “Touch me, Herc. Please. I need you.” She reaches down and unzips her pants, lifting her ass so she can push them down her hips. I capture her lips in mine as my fingers dip under her purple lace underwear, circling her clit once before sliding between her slick folds. We both moan as I push one finger inside her. “So fucking tight,” I murmur against her lips. “Need to taste you. Can I taste you, Kitten?”
“Please,” she moans, her pussy clenching around my finger as I pump in and out.
I kiss her once more before moving down her body until I’m settled between her legs. I run my nose over the lace, breathing in her arousal as I remove my finger, bringing it up to my mouth. And fuck me if her taste doesn’t have me nearly blowing in my pants like a teenager.
Lily whimpers at the loss, and I smirk up at her. “I gotyou, baby.” I unlace her shoes and remove them before stripping her of her jeans and panties, dropping them on the floor. I crawl between her legs, my mouth watering at the sight of her glistening pussy waiting for me. “Fuck,” I growl before flattening my tongue against her centre.
