Chapter 5 #2
Instead of wandering around the shop, he stood over me as I fired up the laptop in the back office and checked my supplier’s website in Mexico.
I saw that my order was under review. Good!
That meant the website hadn’t glitched on me.
It had happened before, and the record of my order vanished.
I kept telling the woman who owned the business that she needed to update, but she never took me seriously.
Shutting my laptop, I smiled up at Vie as I stood up. “All done.”
He didn’t step out of the way. The office was tight, and he loomed over me, a solid presence I couldn’t move past.
“Vie?”
“I waited so you could eat,” he said, voice low and more unworldly again. His eyes sparkled brighter, illuminating his forehead and the skin under his eyes within the hood. “We walked back here to get your car. We came in here so you could finish a task. I can’t wait any longer.”
My pulse quickened. “What do you want to do?”
Moving slowly, as if he was scared he’d spook me, he reached up and cupped my cheek. “I want to put my lips against yours.”
“Pull your hood back,” I demanded.
He jerked his hood off his head. His expression was so intense I sucked in a breath. I felt like I was being seen in more detail than ever before.
As if he could see into my soul.
I nodded my head because I didn’t trust my voice. I wanted him to kiss me more than anything. When he leaned over, I tilted my head up. First, he only brushed his lips against mine, but even that sent sparks down my spine. I went up on my toes, pressing against him and deepening the kiss.
His hand left my cheek, and his arms went around my waist, pulling me hard against his body. I was suddenly enveloped in warmth. Without breaking the kiss, he lifted me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as my feet dangled in the air.
Between his kiss and his hold on me, I was more turned on than I’d ever been in my life. My panties were soaked, and I ached to be touched.
I was torn. I wanted to strip his hoodie and shirt off. I was desperate to run my hands over his skin. But I’d have to break the kiss to do that, and I wasn’t ready for that.
He made a deep growling sound and turned to push me against a wall of boxes. They gave a little, making a nice me-shaped indentation. I wrapped my legs around his waist and rubbed my aching core against him. This reminded me of being a teenager and dry humping my boyfriend behind the gym.
Except kissing and rubbing on Noah wasn’t anything like this.
We shouldn’t have gone to the diner. I definitely shouldn’t have asked him to come back to the shop. We could’ve been at my place already stripped naked!
He ended the kiss. I whimpered and tried to follow his mouth, but he grabbed a handful of my hair and forced my head still.
“I want to please you,” he panted.
I blinked at him. “You already are!”
His bright blue eyes flared. “You smell so good. Can I taste you?”
“T-t-taste me?”
He frowned slightly, as if searching for words. “I want to kiss you, but all over your body. I’d like to put my lips and tongue on your skin. I want to see how every part of you tastes.”
“Oh! Yes, yes please!” His words sent a thrill down my spine. Would he eat me out? Fuck, I wanted that so bad. “I want to feel you too. Take the hoodie and shirt off please?”
“As you wish,” he agreed, looking pleased at my request. Most of my weight was resting on the deformed boxes, so when I let go of his neck, I didn’t need to worry about falling.
He had to tug the hoodie and shirt out from where it was trapped by my legs because they were still wrapped around his waist.
My breath caught at the sight of his bare chest. He was nothing but smooth, pale skin stretched across pronounced muscles. Even his nipples were pale.
Without thinking, I put my hands on his pecs. His muscles twitched under my touch.
“No one has ever touched me before,” he whispered.
“Never?” I breathed, astonished. He was thousands of years old, how could he never have been touched?
“I never wanted anyone to touch me. No one has ever smelled as good as you.” He gasped as I rubbed my fingers over his taut nipples. His head dropped back, and he moaned. “Oh, please do that again.”
“You like this?” I murmured. I used my thumb and finger to gently tug one of his nipples. His body jerked and every muscle tensed. He pulled his arms up and locked his hands behind his head, as if to keep himself from grabbing me.
“Willow,” he breathed, his unearthly voice echoing in the small space. The way he said my name made me feel bold.
I leaned forward and sucked one of his nipples into my mouth. He was panting as if he’d been running a long distance. His skin was so hot, he’d be running a fever if he was human.
I licked my tongue over his nipple a few times before sucking on it again.
His body clenched and shuddered. I thought about dipping my head lower so I could rub my face over his washboard abs.
I was giving his nipple a last suck when he shouted, and his entire body jerked.
I felt a wave of heat come off him, as if I was standing close to a heater.
It felt like electric sparks skittered across my skin and suddenly Vie wasn’t there anymore. My legs dropped to the floor, and I was forced to stand up and catch my balance as a few boxes fell around me at the sudden shift.
Vie reappeared in the doorway to the office, still naked from the waist up. He swept up his shirt and hoodie, his eyes wide and wild.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know. I don’t know. I-I–” he said as he fumbled to get his shirt and hoodie back on. Once they were on, and his hood was hiding his face again, he spoke one clear sentence.
“I’ll do better.”
Then he disappeared, and I knew I wouldn’t see him again tonight. The wet spot at the front of his jeans told me he’d had some fun, but his expression told me he didn’t know how to deal with it.
I was shaking from being turned on and then suddenly losing the source of my passion.
Letting out a long breath, I ran my fingers through my hair and chuckled. It was all so ridiculous. I’d just made an ancient creature jizz in his pants. It was both a disappointment and a compliment.
“It’s okay Vie, but next time it’s my turn.”
