Reyona was going mad with a raging passion inside her.
His hands roamed freely over her body as he kissed her like a parched man offered water.
The kiss was engulfing and overpowering.
He let out a groan in his throat when she bit at his bottom lip, then soothed it with her tongue.
He touched her back in a certain way that had her gasping softly with pleasure.
He took the opportunity to invade her mouth with her tongue, and they engaged in a duel of tongues as he backed her towards his car, which was the closest to them.
Reyona gasped in surprise when she was momentarily suspended in the air, but she was soon seated on the hood of the car as he moved in between her legs and continued kissing her without breaking contact.
Reyona could feel his bulge against her lap as he changed the angle of his head and sent her into a frenzy again.
Her senses were all aflame, and she had no idea when she suddenly grabbed him tightly with her thighs.
She was gasping for breath when he finally released her mouth and started trailing kisses all over her face.
The whisper of "I will worship your body with mine" filtered into her mind and spiked her fever higher.
For a moment, Reyona thought he was the one who spoke before she realised that it was what she had heard him say in that first dream that had not ceased to bother her.
Dream mixed with reality as he whispered across her skin. "Please, let me come in. Let me stay with you tonight."
Reyona was beyond words at this point and all she could do was nod.
"Wait here," he said as he moved away from her.
She slit her eyes open and saw that he was picking up the bag and keys she had dropped earlier.
He half-ran to the door to unlock it and before Reyona could find enough strength in her weak limbs, he was by her side again.
He carried her off the hood and hastily walked towards the door.
He carried her bridal style through the door and Reyona chuckled at his actions.
"Upstairs?" He whispered, and a memory slammed into Reyona's mind's eye.
He seized her mouth in a kiss at that exact moment, but then she had tensed.
She suddenly doubted her actions and just knew she couldn't.
"Put me down" she managed to say when she could disengage from the kiss.
"Right here?" He asked with amusement. "Okay, babe. I could…"
His expression changed when he saw the look on her face.
"Are you…what's wrong?" He asked as he set her down.
"I think you should go," Reyona said with an averted face, and she tried to move away.
He didn't give her the chance anyway because he had his hands on her shoulders and held her in place. "What is wrong? Talk to me."
"I don't have to. I don't want to." Reyona said wearily. "Just leave, okay?"
"Did I do something wrong?" He asked in a forlorn voice and that was just too much for Reyona.
"No, not at all. This is not about you. This is…" she scrubbed her hand over her face. "This is about me."
She let out a humourless half-laugh at the disbelieving look on his face. "I know that is a cliché, but it is the only explanation that I have. I am sorry for leading you on. I am not… interested in you that way."
Reyona realised her mistake even before she completed the statement.
His eyes darkened dangerously as he held her chin and tilted her head backwards.
He looked menacing, and an unexpected thrill danced down Reyona's spine as he said in a gravelly tone. "Not interested in me that way, huh? At least be honest with yourself."
"I…"
His mouth descended on hers so fast that her head spun.
There was a new edge to this kiss that called to something deep within Reyona.
Gone was the gentleness and careful touches that made her skin sing.
This time he firmly placed his hands on her ass and held her tightly to himself in that region.
He poured all his frustration into the almost punishing kiss while slowly grinding against her.
A low moan escaped Reyona as her blood roared from the onslaught of his kisses.
Her mind was wiped clean of any hindering memories as she met him fire for fire.
She couldn't take it anymore when his hands suddenly brushed the sides of her breasts.
She gasped when he grabbed her heavy breasts in his hands and proceeded to knead them through her clothing.
His kisses were doing a lot to her, but it was nothing compared to what his touches were doing to her.
When he slightly moved away from her, and the hot budge she was feeling down there was gone, she whispered in protest and tried to pull him back.
Her nipples stood shamelessly at attention and her body called desperately for his.
Yet he only trailed his fingers over her face while breathing harshly, "I want you, Reyona. I want you so badly that it is messing with my mind. It is obvious you want me to. Why won't you just accept me?"
"I…" Reyona inhaled sharply as another memory invaded her mind.
Then she closed her eyes and mentally shut the door on every and any memory whispering from all corners of the house.
The house had been renovated, but it still had potent power on her.
It was a place where she had dreamed a lot and eventually lost a lot.
It was a place where she had only given herself to one man alone and thought she always would.
Reyona had not realised how much the memories made in that house had lingered in the crevices of her mind despite all her declarations.
Not until he had carried her over the threshold.
Just as…
She slammed the door shut firmly over the pesky thoughts and opened her eyes to look at the man with the expectant expression in front of her.
She thought she had moved on, but she was wrong.
At least not in all the ways that matter.
She moved on with her head, but her body still belonged to one man.
That ends today.
She gave him a sultry look as she stepped closer to him and wrapped her hands around his neck.
Her puckered nipples dug firmly into his chest as she nibbled at the sides of his mouth.
He stood so still as she looked at him from beneath her eyelids and teased her tongue over his lips.
His muscles clenched as she trailed her fingers in patterns towards his waistband.
"Take me then." She breathed. "Make me forget."
It was all the encouragement he needed before she got swept under.
