I nearly jumped out of fright.
Lion looked like a true predator now. His eyes locked onto mine intensely and he suddenly pinned my arms behind my back while I was still facing him.
He moved closer and licked my neck slowly. I didn't know if I should feel aroused or terrified. He continued to stare at me with burning desire as one hand moved to my neck, his tongue trailing upward toward my earlobe.
I bit my lip, desperate to stay quiet even as a strange sensation began to wash over me.
The grip on my wrists tightened while his other hand slid down from my neck to my shoulder.
I closed my eyes and exhaled a long, shaky breath.
His lips began to plant kisses along my neck and chin as my breathing quickened. I could feel him smiling as he continued to kiss his way toward my shoulders.
He whispered in my ear, his voice low and gravelly, gently warning me that he needed to be restrained and that he was on the verge of losing control.
I swallowed hard, not out of fear, but because I was tempted.
He whispered that he wanted to show me how much he desired me, while licking and nipping at my earlobe.
Oh, go to the black hole! I mentally screamed at my sense of self-control.
I didn't care anymore.
I wanted him so badly... not out of mere lust, but because I wanted to be connected to him.
I wanted to be by his side always. I needed him. I wanted to give him everything.
Still, I wanted our relationship to grow a bit stronger first. I didn't want any regrets.
I opened my eyes and looked at him, seeing his gaze filled with raw emotion.
In a soft voice, I asked him if he could show me just a bit of that desire.
He smirked. He whispered into my ear that I should not regret what I just said.
Okay...
Lion slowly removed my jewelry. The tinkling sound grew increasingly distracting every time I moved.
He removed my anklet last, then raised one of my legs.
I looked at him questioningly, but he only gave me an innocent-looking smile before gently biting my leg.
Oh, my gosh!
I squeezed the sheets, tilting my head back.
His hair felt ticklish against my skin as he held my leg with both hands, licking his way upward.
I began to tremble with desire, bringing my hand to my mouth to bite my finger.
He chuckled, continuing his slow ascent before finally stopping. He gently pushed me back onto the bed and moved on top of me, whispering words of desire as he pinned my hands above my head.
I couldn't take it anymore.
With a surge of adrenaline, I pushed him back and sat on top of him while he lay there.
He looked surprised and started to sit up, but I cut him off with a kiss. I bit his lip and sucked on it slowly and this time, it was his turn to tilt his head back.
His face turned a lovely shade of red as his eyes drifted shut.
Smiling, I licked his lips slowly and squeezed his shoulders.
I told him I wouldn't talk to him for a while if he moved.
He became instantly obedient.
I straddled him, brushing my lips against his in slow, teasing kisses. He lay still as I traced his lips with my tongue until they parted slightly.
His breathing hitched.
I made a silent goal that I wouldn't sleep until I drew that certain sound out of him.
With that mischievous thought, I intensified the kiss. I was so full of desire that I needed to feel more of him.
He began to crave more, but I pulled back, briefly teasing his tongue with mine. He groaned, but that wasn't enough for me yet.
Suddenly, he sat up and looked at me, declaring that the silence was worth it before grabbing my face and kissing me passionately.
He pulled me against him, pouring all his emotion into the kiss.
I grew more demanding, clinging to his neck as I unleashed my own desire.
We eventually broke the kiss, both of us breathless. He stared at me longingly as I leaned toward his ear. I whispered that I want him.
With a look of pure joy, he hugged me tightly and nuzzled my face. I pulled his chin toward me for another slow kiss.
His hands caressed my back as I deepened it, slowly introducing my tongue to his.
Before he could reciprocate, I pulled away again, leaving him with a shaky groan.
I moved to his chest, sliding my hand inside his shirt to touch his skin as I licked my way down his neck toward his shoulder.
Finally, I heard it... that certain sound.
As my hand explored his chest, his breathing became ragged.
I kissed the center of his chest, inching downward as that sound continued to escape him.
Then, I stopped and lay down next to him.
He smiled at me, telling me how happy he was to know I desired him as much as he desired me. He pulled me into an embrace, covered us with a blanket and dimmed the lights.
A yawn escaped me and my eyelids grew heavy. He began to sing softly as I snuggled closer. I placed my hand on his chest, pulling him even nearer and listened to him sing until I finally fell asleep.
