Chapter 45 DON'T
RACHEL
“Shorty…” he whispered.
His hand moved slowly. His fingers sliding up to mine, warm and electrifying. My eyes dropped to where our hands touched and then lifted back to his again.
“Why not?” I asked softly.
My eyes caught the tightness in his jaw when he shook his head, as if trying to fight himself from admitting something his body had already decided.
We both wanted this, but he had no idea I wasn't letting him run away from this feeling again. I didn’t care if Noah and T were just two rooms away from us right now.
He said nothing, and that silence only made me more frustrated in a way that didn’t make me mad at him but mad at myself for looking like I was the one desperate. It made me feel…
Before I could finish that thought, his face broke into a sudden nervous laugh.
“Shit.”
He licked his lips, and leaned forward, his forehead rested against mine as we breathed the same air.
“What’s funny?” I asked, confused and nervous at the same time.
“This dude just embarrassed me…” His warm breath fanned across my face as he spoke. I had no idea what he meant, so I just listened.
“It’s… kind of happy right now.”
His thumb brushed along my cheek gently, then I followed his gaze. Only then did I realize what he'd meant.
Fuck.
Without breaking eye contact, Thane took my hand again and slowly guided it downward until my palm pressed against the hard outline in his jeans where his shaft stood hard and unyielding beneath the fabric.
“You feel it?” he asked quietly, rubbing my palm against it.
I bit my lower lip, at the same time, suddenly becoming painfully aware of how wet I’d been. Unfortunately, I had no clothes to hide it now, and that fact alone made me more embarrassed than standing naked in front of him.
“How could it say no to you,” he murmured, his voice low, “when you're standing there looking like Rose?”
I couldn’t hide the surprise and shock that crossed my face. I couldn’t imagine Thane as the type who’d watch Titanic, but that moment died down quickly when something warm slid down my thigh, Thane still rubbing my hand gently against his hardness. I didn’t get to hide it when he noticed it.
His eyes followed the movement before slowly pulling back. His hand slid down from my pounding chest to the curve of my right breast. The warmness of his palm made my body jerk slightly.
He rubbed it softly making me wonder how many girls he'd done the same for. His darkened eyes found mine as his lips parted.
A ragged breath broke out of me when he pinched my hardened nipple, making me instantly trap my lower lip between my teeth.
His eyes didn’t leave mine for a second, as if watching every reaction was his way of driving him deeper into the heat. As if every gasp, every touch, belonged to him.
His gaze was so intoxicating, God, I wished I could look away, but my attempt failed when Thane caught my chin, tilting it back toward him.
“Keep looking,” he muttered, his voice rough.
Slowly, he lowered himself until he was kneeling on the floor. His fingers gripped my thighs firmly, as he pulled me closer and without hesitation, he lowered his mouth to the inside of my thigh.
The moment his wet tongue touched my skin, my fists balled at my sides, my breath catching in my throat as I tried to stop the moan trapped there.
He paused and glanced up at me. “You’re gonna have to keep it down.”
I stared down at him and nodded quickly.
He returned to my thigh, sucking the skin this time before licking slowly upward. His tongue traced the wet trail along my leg until he reached the deeper place between my thighs.
I was completely wet and dripping again. My stomach tightening too.
Just as I swallowed hard, his mouth found my core.
The muscles around my hips jerked forward as if they had a mind of their own. My helpless hand instantly searched for his hair to grip.
He kept sucking, my legs parting wider for him, giving him more space. My eyes rolled back in ectasy, my chest racing faster as my other hand gripped his shoulder, as I slowly drifted into the blissful world that only had Thane and I in it.
“Fuuuck… yeah,” I whispered shakily. “Suck that part again.”
My body felt the sudden loss when he pulled away. “What part?”
My eyes dropped to his and I swallowed hard. “I… don’t know. But it felt good when you licked it.”
A slow amused smirk curved across his lips. Then he leaned in again.
This time his tongue slid directly over my vagna, finding the sensitive skin around my clit.
“Yes—fuck.” A shaky breath crawled out of my throat as my voice broke. “Right there, Thane.”
That single encouragement made Thane go harder. His tongue moving with more pressure now. My hips rocked helplessly against his face as I felt the increasingly new wave of pleasure spreading through my body.
“Oh God… you’re so good at this.” I breathed as my knees began to weaken.
His tongue flicked around my clit slowly, giving that wet teasing sound before he finally pulled away.
When he looked up at me, his lips were swollen and glistening with my wetness.
I had to admit, that sight somehow made Thane looked absolutely gorgeous and devastatingly sexy beyond marvel.
His strong arm flexed as he reached for his belt, sliding it free and pushing his jeans down smoothly while glancing at me the whole time.
I watched in stunned silence as he pushed his boxers down.
His erection sprang free. Huge and incredibly hard.
My mouth fell open. “Oh my… fucking hell,” I breathed. “You’re going to rip my walls in two, Thane.”
To my surprise, Thane looked confused as he stepped closer, ready to lift me.
“I didn’t break your walls the first time,” he sounded amused. “You’re safe, shorty.”
Heat flooded my cheeks and my core at the same time.
Before I could answer, he lifted me easily into his arms and climbed onto the bed on his knees, placing me gently in the center of it.
Then he looked down at me, his expression softening. Hiis eyes searched my face with an intensity that clearly carried deeper feelings.
“I don’t want to hurt you, shorty.” He said quickly. His voice sounding more sincere than I’d ever heard from him. “I really don’t.”
My chest tightened. I didn’t know what to say.
Instead, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer until I could feel the mesmerising intensity of his gaze.
“Then don’t,” I whispered.
