“It… it still hurts a little but I’ll− I’ll be fine…”
A surge of pride inflated my ego. But it soon deflated when I realized what pain she could be in.
“We can go to the doctor tomo—”
“I’m... I'm fine. I'm fine,” she quickly jumped in. I raised a brow. But pain meds would make it better?
“Really it's nothing.” Her blush deepened.
There was a pinch of satisfaction in my chest. I'd seen how far that blush could go.
Slowly she started to walk past me. I noticed a limp in her step. It was subtle but still there.
Instinctively I tugged her to my chest, curving an arm behind her knees. She released a small yelp as I carried her. My other arm was around her lower back.
“W-wwhat are you doing?” She struggled in my arms. I tightened my grip.
“I put you in this position, Evie. The least I can do is carry you down the stairs.”
She gave up the fight and leaned into my chest. I didn't know if she could hear it, but I could feel my heart beating twice as fast.
twenty-four
Evie
He dropped me just in front of the fridge. I waited for him to go but he didn't. Not like I wanted him to.
With erratic breathing and a bit of a shaky hand, I took a bottle of water from the fridge. Then shut it. I could feel my cheek heat up. Why was I suddenly nervous?
As I stared at the bottle, I became increasingly aware of his breath on my neck. He was so close. I suddenly became hot.
Why was he still here? Was he waiting to carry me back? If he was then…
Hands stretched from my waist before he collected the bottle from me. My breath hitched when I felt his body pressed against mine. His other hand joined the bottle from my waist to my front.
He opened it… slowly. Was it slow or time just seemed to lose value. I was sure my heart would jump out of my chest when he pulled back then gave me the water.
“Drink.” Right. I was supposed to drink.
I downed the water, taking greedy gulps until the bottle was empty. The air was thick with tension. What now?
To go to my room or…
Or what, Evie.
Right. Was there even a need to contemplate anything?
“Look at me.” His voice floated through the silence— a low rumble that made me freeze.
One second, I was hot. The next I was freezing. Only he could make me this way.
“Look at me, Evie.”
I couldn't disobey this time. When I looked into his eyes, they were filled with desire… dark desire.
The sight sent ripples through my core. I clenched my thighs to lessen the wave between them.
Fuck, I finally had sex and now it was all I craved.
