Chapter 48 CHAPTER 048
I sigh but it is actually a moan. Linc smirks and I close my eyes because I can't take how close his face is to mine, the wetness of his tongue around my lips, his sweet breath serenading my face. It is too much. I will never get used to this.
Linc slips his hand behind my neck and leans in closer, taking my lips gently like he is still interested in just the tiramisu smeared around my mouth. Our lips collide and my breath escapes me.
We have kissed a lot of times since I came back. A lot more times than I ever dared to dream about. And each time, it is different. It takes my breath away. It makes my heart skip a beat. It does things to my body that I can't quite put in words yet.
The way his firm lips slant against mine. The dominance he exudes without even trying. How easily I surrender. I give in without even thinking about it. I hand over the reins. I become liquid and I just want to flow. Into him.
Every single time is different yet he is the same man. I suspect that he could kiss me a million times and I would still never be used to it. Never not have my breath escape me at the delicious possessive contact.
Linc's mouth moves teasingly against mine, nibbling at my lips like he can actually eat the ghost of the tiramisu from me like this. I hear the scrape of my chair being pulled closer to him and I can't even think straight enough to wonder how that is possible because the chairs are quite heavy and one of his hand is behind my neck.
He presses his mouth against mine and I open up. Our tongues clash and I moan into his mouth. He swirls patterns against my tongue, expertly, taking control without asking, and I feel my body getting tingly for him. It is just a kiss, but with Linc, it is never that uncomplicated.
He kisses me like he means it. Like he is communicating something I can't quite decode just yet. Something profound and yet simple. It scares me just as it excites me. It gives me ideas. Ideas that would inevitably break my heart.
He started gentle but I am soon clinging to his huge forearms, out of breath but unwilling to detach from him. I get out of my chair to sit on his legs, our mouths stay attached and he grabs my hips so I am straddling him on his chair, the room dark and heavy with passion in my peripheral vision.
I slip my hand down between us to reach for his pants but he stops me. He pulls away from the kiss and rests his forehead against mine. Our breaths are harsh and desperate as we take the needed time to catch our breaths. Things get heavy between us fast and I like that. I like that I could get lost in him if that is what I need. Just the way it was this morning.
"Linc." I breath when I get some control over my scrambling thoughts. It is just a kiss, but really it rarely is.
"Amelia." He replies, his hand holding mine away from his crotch tightens.
I pull my forehead away from his so I can look into his eyes. He shakes his head.
"We have a guest coming. I don't like to rush with you." He says with a wink and I blush.
"Oh, yeah." I start moving off his thigh, I can't hide the disappointment climbing up my brows. His hold on my hips do not loosen up.
"After. I have plans for you, Amelia. But I can't before nipping this fucking Tyler situation in the bud first." He holds my eyes and I see the intense sincerity shining in those gold flecks. I feel spoiled and it is obvious he doesn't mind.
"Okay." I pout as he finally lets me go, I get off his thighs and start heading for the stairs. It occurs to me that I should probably clear the table but I don't bother turning back around.
"I should probably change out of this." I say as I start climbing up the stairs. I know he is watching every move my body makes and I make sure to sway my hips as I walk.
I stop at the foot of the stairs and flip my hair to look over my shoulders. Linc is standing with his hips resting against the table, arms crossed over his chest, watching me. My eyes travel down his body and I see the visible bulge in his pants, I can't help the smirk that lifts up my lips. He follows my eyes and catches me staring, he walks up to me, covering the distance in three long strides.
"You are being a little nymph. I don't appreciate teases." Linc reaches for me, his hands grab onto my ass, pulling my body close to him. I can't help the giggling.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I say before his mouth crashes against mine.
He kisses me hard and deep. No pretences as we tongue kiss like starving lovers. Because I am standing on the top stair, I am taller than him for once and the angle makes for a more controlled pace at my advantage, I savour it. His grip on my ass through the sheer silk dress is possessive and sexy. My skin flames at his touch and it is all I can do to not wrap my legs around him and refuse to let go.
"You do." He breathes when I pull away from the kiss first.
"Oh well." I say with a small smile as I turn around, away from him. I sway my hips, walking up the stairs, taking my sweet time knowing his eyes are on my body.
I half-heartedly hope he would follow me up to my room and do whatever he has in mind to me but I also know he won't because Linc is a man of his words. He is rarely swayed when he promises something. If he plans to fuck me senseless after this Mr. Hernandez comes over and takes charge of the situation, then that is what he is going to do.
And I can't wait.
