Chapter 30 — Love Bites
Vanessa’s POV:
Vanessa felt as if her chest could burst. She was in love with him too, but she wished he didn’t say that. Not right now. Not with everything that was happening. She still had the weight of having to kill him or let Byron suffer on her shoulders. The only way to make the decision easier was to leave Malik. But just this one night, she could give herself one night. She grabbed him and kissed him, her lips and tongue expressing the feelings she could not bear to give words.
Malik seemed to understand her gesture and returned the kiss, showing her what his words meant. Forgetting the noise, the people, the atmosphere around them, Malik whisked her away to the limo. “I planned on taking you in the club tonight, but this all feels too sacred. We need to go home.”
Home…Oh God, home. The butterflies that once made her feel happy now left a stinging sensation from her chest down to her fingertips. How is one completely and utterly happy and aching with guilt and regret in the same moment? The thoughts fizzled from her brain as Malik’s lips found her neck, and his hand between her thighs, cupping her covered heat. She nipped her bottom lip to keep from moaning out loudly. She was still sensitive from the night before, from being touched for the first time.
As soon as the limo stopped, Malik scooped her in his arms and carried her bridal style into the house and whooshed up to his room. Vanessa felt as though she went down on a roller coaster when he whooshed, but she recovered quickly as he laid her on the bed. Their clothes were off before she could catch her breath. Malik’s lips were urgent against every inch of her skin they could reach.
She cried out in ecstasy. His touch made her feel things she didn’t know she could feel. It was new, yet it felt familiar in a way. Being with him made her feel like she was home. The realizations were making things more and more difficult, yet she didn’t have the strength to stop what was happening. She closed her eyes, losing herself in his touch. His lips trailed down to her breasts, ravishing them one at a time, his thumb circling her sweet spot. He moved to her naval, swirling his tongue around it and grazing his teeth against her ribs.
“Malik…” she moaned. He looked up at her as his broad shoulders settled between her legs. He took his time, kissing along each of her inner thighs, and then his mouth went down there…his tongue replacing his thumb. Vanessa’s eyes shot open as she felt his mouth working her core, “Oh, FUCK!” she screamed out as he took her breath away by thrusting a finger inside her. Her hands gripped the sheets above her head as she thrust her hips, his mouth moving in unison with them. Malik took her to the edge and pulled back, licking his lips. His hips now moved up between her legs, teasing her opening with the head of his cock and dipped his head to kiss her, giving her a taste of herself as thrust deep inside her. It was erotic getting a taste of herself from his lips. It only took a couple of thrusts before her orgasm sent her over the edge, taking him with her.
He stayed with her until both his cock and her walls stopped spasming. He gently laid himself atop her and kissed her deeply. It was as though he sensed that she didn’t want to think. She needed to just do. Vanessa rolled him onto his back. “My turn.” She said with a seductive tone. Her lips were now on his neck, her tongue licking everywhere she kissed. Malik thrashed beneath her, his hands in her hair, his moans deep and throaty. She ravished his nipples one at a time, moving down to his stomach, stopping at the curls. She flicked her tongue against the head of his aching cock and suckled as much of his length as possible into her mouth, her hand covered the rest.
Malik struggled to keep from thrusting wildly so as not to choke her. His hand tangled in her hair, keeping it off her face. “Look up at me. Look at me while you do that.” His command sounded desperate, almost harsh, and Vanessa obeyed it. Her eyes met his and Malik groaned, “You’re so fucking hot.” She bobbed her head up and down, her mouth tight around him, her teeth gently grazing the sensitive skin. “Vanessa…I’m going to…” he growled as she let him cum in her mouth. He was salty and a touch sweet. She swallowed every shot of cum that entered her mouth and pulled off him slowly. She licked her lips and straddled his hips, crushing her lips to his to give him a taste of himself.
She cuddled up to him after going another round and pretended to fall asleep. She wasn’t even sure if Malik slept at night. She knew he did during the day, but night was a whole other story. She hoped he would fall asleep soon as he went out that morning. Maybe it was the afterglow, but the longer she laid with him, the harder it was to stay awake. The harder it was to go through with her plan to leave him.
Reality was coming back to her, Byron had lost another day, and time was ticking for her to kill the man beside her. Before she knew it, she was in another damn blissful and perfect sleep. To her surprise, when she awoke, Malik was still there. Sleeping. Her stomach growled and she slowly slid out of bed to go make herself something to eat. She pulled some eggs and bacon out when she heard a buzzing sound on the counter. It was Malik’s phone. She looked at the phone as it lit up with a text message from Julius. “Malik, I found the results you wanted. Those people you had killed a few years ago were Byron and Vanessa’s parents.”
