The air is charged between us. The look in his eyes holds me captive, doing strange things to my body. My breaths rasp from my lungs, my heart banging uncontrollably inside my chest while my pulse races. Yet a peaceful calm descends over me when he holds me in his arms. Even though we’re in hell, when I’m in his embrace, I’m safe.
The moment we first met until before we were captured plays out like a movie inside my head. The crackle of electricity the first time we met in his hospital room when I held out my hand in greeting and he wrapped his fingers around mine. The first time he stepped through the door of my house, all the air leaving the room. The first time I got into the passenger seat of the car with him and had a panic attack. Chase was fully prepared and helped me get it under control quickly, holding my hand and talking me through breathing exercises while he got out my pills and gave me one. The times in school anyone made me uncomfortable, Chase was always the one to come to my rescue.
I always knew I could rely on Chase for anything I needed, and he never disappointed me.
I don’t need to say a word. It’s in those whiskey eyes I know so well as he patiently waits, watching as the realization crashes over me like waves on a shore. He’s been my lighthouse, steadfast in the storm, providing a light in the darkness while patiently waiting to guide me home.
“You knew, didn’t you?” I whisper, marveling at the feel of his stubble beneath my fingertips. It’s a foreign feeling to be able to freely touch him without my limbs being bound. Something I could do anytime I wanted at home, but now, I don’t take it for granted.
“It’s why I held on for so long. The reason I’ve been so patient when you repeatedly pushed me away. The brief flashes of longing before you could mask them were all that sustained me for months.” He spins me around, and a burst of surprised laughter escaped. His eyes twinkle as he pulls me closer. “You could lie to yourself and everyone else, but you couldn’t lie to me. The truth was always in your eyes.”
My breath stutters from my lungs as the electricity crackles between us like a severe storm, lightning dancing in the sky and brightening up the darkness. The hairs on my arms and neck stand up as my pulse races and my body heats. The ever-present spark between us twists like a live wire about to explode into an inferno of flames.
His lips glide over mine in a barely there kiss, making me gasp. The sound causes his eyes to heat, flames burning in them, spurring him on. Then his mouth is on mine, hungry and desperate.
My hands slide from his face to the back of his neck, clinging to him, starving for his touch.
Chase parts my lips with his tongue, and I melt against him like butter left in the sun. All the pain and agony I’ve experienced in this house of horrors disappears, replaced by the ache deep within my core. His hard muscles against my soft curves, hot breaths against my chilled flesh, and the way his hands dig possessively through my clothing into my skin are making me come undone.
When he removes his lips from mine, allowing me much needed oxygen, a whine leaves me. His lips slide to a sensitive spot on my neck, and I arch against him, tilting my head and giving him access. “Goddamn, Kenz. You’re so responsive.”
I whine again, rubbing against him. Dizzying sensations race through me from the way his lips are teasing the spot on my neck while I grind against the hardness in his pants. I’m feeling reckless and out of control, which is unlike me. But I know I can let go because Chase has me.
Instinctively, he’s known exactly how to handle me since the moment he laid eyes on me. He knows me practically better than I know myself.
His lips return to mine, a feverish energy in his kiss as he tilts my head, taking what he wants from me. I go slack in his arms, wanting to give him every piece of me.
“Fuck, Kenz.” His hooded gaze is locked on mine. “Are you sure?”
“I’m always sure with you.”
My words are like gasoline on a fire. Chase attacks my mouth, fucking it with his tongue. Long, deep licks that light up every one of my nerves like the New York City skyline at night. His hands pin me possessively against him, showing he owns every part of my body, just like he owns my heart.
I grind my hips frantically, moving against him like a belly dancer dancing to the beat. Moans and whimpers fall from my mouth like I’m speaking in tongues.
“I can’t be gentle with you tonight, angel.” The golden flecks in his eyes burn into mine. “If we do this, I’m going to ruin you for any other man.”
“Oh, God.” I’m inexperienced as hell, but the way those words rasp from his lips plant all kinds of sinfully sexy images inside my head, makes my insides quiver. The promise in those beguiling eyes tells me he’s a gentleman in the streets but a freak in the sheets. And damn, do I want to experience that.
The story of his past washes over me, sparking the green-eyed monster deep inside. Imagining another woman touching him, kissing him, and goddamn it—sucking and fucking him has me seeing red. I want to erase the touch of every girl that came before me and brand myself so deeply into every facet of his being that I’ll be the only one he ever wants to touch for the rest of his life.
Chase chuckles, the sound raw and deep. “How do you think I felt, angel, when Alex put his paws on you?” The sneer on his lip is primal and hot as fuck. “I wanted to rip his fucking hands off and shove them up his ass.”
A seductive smile spreads across my lips as I blink up at him. “Really? That’s hot.” My voice has a breathless tone I’ve never heard before.
Like an animal about to attack, his smile grows predatory. “Every time another man looked at you, I wanted to gouge his eyes out. The number of times I imagined beating the living shit out of the punks at school or some random, older asshole on the street that was gaping at you nearly drove me insane.” His hands slide down, squeezing my ass cheeks possessively. “They lusted after you until they looked at me and understood that you weren’t just a piece of ass to me, but my whole goddamn reason for existing. Then they backed the fuck off.”
I gasped, my entire body trembling from being so turned on by his words. I’m soaked, my wetness coating my inner thighs since I don’t have panties to wear.
My fingers curl into the back of his neck. “Chase.”
With a growl, his lips fuse against mine as our hands fumble, tugging at the clothing covering our skin. Between the hot kisses with lips, tongue, and teeth, we manage to strip our clothing onto the floor before Chase lifts me, and I wrap my legs around his waist as he strides to the mattress, tossing me onto it and falling on top of me. We wince from our respective wounds for a second before we collide, desperate mouths and hands full of desire, lust, and love battling it out on the stained, dirty mattress. But I don’t care where I am. As long as I’m with him.
His hands move to my taut nipples, strumming the sensitive tips with his thumbs. My back peels from the mattress as I arch my hips up, going out of my mind from the urge to touch him.
“Such a horny good girl,” he rasps as his lips slide to my neck. “You want my mouth sucking those perky nipples, don’t you?”
I whimper, wishing he were doing it now. “Hell yes.”
