RIVEN BlACKWOOD POV

I drove to a stop in front of the house and then glanced at Hazel as she stared at the building that stood before us, her eyes wide in awe.

I grinned loving the reaction, knowing that it was real and not just play pretend.

She turned to face me excitedly. "It's so beautiful," she got out then pressed her face to her palm, her voice soft and proud. "Do you make it a point to only buy the best houses on the market, Riven? Are you into real estate now?".

I smirked, my eyes fixed on her face, trying as much as I could to commit every detail to memory. "No," I answered, and she tilted her head, her brows dipping.

"You're not?" She asked, genuinely curious.

I nodded, my gaze dropping to the arch of my pale, smooth neck. My mouth watered as my gaze lingered. I wanted to sink my teeth into it.

Tearing my eyes away, I met her gaze, my breath hitching at the hunger in her eyes. Did she notice me staring? Was she feeling the tension the same way I was?

I licked over my lips, my dick twitching when her gaze followed the movement. "I just buy houses that you like"

Her brows arched, and my eyes flickered to the mole right beneath her lashes. It was one of my favorite moles that she had.

"How do you know houses I admire?"

I leaned close. "Because your iris always gets bigger when you really like something, just like right now," I said, pointing at her eyes.

"Hmm," she nodded, her gaze darting from mine to look at the house.

I clenched my hand, the urge to touch her getting harder to resist.

"Did you buy this one recently? It didn't come up in the list of properties you own?" She asked, turning to face me again.

Her eyes looked mesmerizing in the low lights. All I wanted to do was get lost in them forever.

"You know about the properties I own?" I asked, my lips stretching in a slow smile as I processed her words. Colour flushed her cheek and I leaned in, my voice dropping low. "Did you stalk me online and find out everything you were too shy to ask me?"

I watched as blood crept up her neck, deepening the one already on her cheeks.

Not waiting for an answer and unable to resist the temptation she presented, I grabbed her by the hair and slammed my lips against her, her sharp gasp of surprise shooting straight to my hard dick.

Kissing her drove me crazy, the soft sweetness of her lips as I sucked on them sending jolts of pleasure surging through my skin and making me burn.

My heart raced, the adrenaline making me lightheaded as she moaned into my mouth, matching my tempo, her hands creeping around my neck and tangling in my hair to pull me even closer.

"Damn it" I cussed as waves of heat coursed through me, making my skin tingle. My cock swelled to full mast, straining against my slacks as I deepened the kiss, the pad of my thumb pressing on her lower lip to give me more access. My eyes fluttered shut as I lost myself in the sensation, kissing her with a hunger that only kept on growing.

She'd awoken an insatiable appetite in me. It was like I'd spent my whole life starving and finally found what I'd been craving.

We pulled apart when we ran out of air and then we sat, panting and staring into each other's eyes.

Her chest rose and fell, her mouth swollen, her dilated eyes drawing me in like a freaking magnet.

I started to move closer and she slammed her hand against my chest.

"I don't think I'll be able to do it today, Riven," she whispered, the color on her cheeks deepening. "And if you keep kissing me, I'm afraid that's where this is going to end"

She was right, and I knew I shouldn't jump her bones every chance I got, but I literally couldn't help myself.

I pressed my head against her, struggling to control myself. "I'm sorry" I rasped, my arousal refusing to go down. I wasn't surprised. Even if we weren't doing anything sexual, I was always semi-hard around Hazel.

It was like my body had been rewired to want her, and only her.

She grinned, then took my hand and placed it at the center of her chest, her short sharp gasp mingling with mine.

I met her gaze, our eyes locking, the sound of her beating heart drumming against my fingers.

"Your heart is beating super fast"

She nodded, getting even redder. "You did that to me Riven. What are you going to do huh, if you give me a heart attack one of these days"

I grinned, loving that I wasn't the only one going crazy for her. "Dying from pleasure doesn't sound so bad you know"

She laughed, the sound of the joy she felt making my heart clench. It was so suffocatingly sweet, all I could do was watch her and savor the moment, ingraining it into my head so I never forgot.

"I should get a camera" I whispered, my fingers grazing her face, loving the way her breathing hitched at my touch. "I want to capture you in every way that I can"

She leaned in, her eyes fluttering close. "Really?" she asked, and I nodded, my throat dry as my eyes roamed her face.

"Yes. If I could live inside your skin, I would"

She laughed, her eyes crinkling at the edges. "That's pretty obsessive, don't you think?"

I grinned. "You already know I am obsessed with you, baby," I said, and she pressed a quick kiss to my lips and shifted back a bit, her eyes inspecting my face.

"I can't say I hate that you are," she said, then glanced at the house.

"You were right about the house." I got out, and she turned to face me, a clueless look on her face. "About me recently buying it" I reminded.

"Oh, that," she said, and I gave her a knowing look that had her looking away, her face aflame. She took a deep breath, then let it out and faced me. "Why did you buy a new house. The ones you have are all perfect..."

"From the outside, yes, but it was too plain on the inside," I said, my fingers grazing over her cheeks, loving the feel of her skin against my fingertips and the way she shivered with every soft caress. "You're this vibrant; you only deserve the best house that suits your personality, Hazel. Also, I wanted a place where just the two of us would fill up with memories."

Her lips stretched in a bright smile. "You shouldn't have gone through so much trouble Riven. I pretty much like anywhere if you're in it"

"If you keep saying things like that, I don't know if I'll be able to resist, baby"

She grinned, pulling back a bit to put space between us. "Okay," she said, her tongue darting out to lick over her lips.

"You shouldn't have done that," I groaned, then launched at her, my hands wrapping around her waist and jerking her close.

"Riven" she gasped, her palm flexing against my chest as I leaned in, my eyes fixed on hers.

"Let me kiss you" I whispered, my lips hovering over hers, our breath mingling.

Her eyes fluttered closed as my lips grazed hers, her lips trembling slightly against mine for a second, and then she opened her mouth.

I took her consent like a starving soul, losing myself in her taste, the softness of her lips, and the gentle hum of pleasure that vibrated through her entire body as she kissed me back.
