“Quinn, please… I’m hanging on by a thread here.”
I didn’t hear Quinn; I heard him say Bailey.
“Whose fault was that?”
He was over to her in three long strides.
“Don’t touch me.”
“Love—”
“I mean it, Sam. Stay away from me. I can’t do this again.”
“You know that’s bullshit. I fucked up, alright? I should have fought for you and not let everyone get in my way. I was young. If I could go back and change things, I would in a heartbeat.”
“Just go. It’s what you’re best at anyway.”
“What did you just say to me?”
“You. Heard. Me. I’m right here.”
“Quinn,” he coaxed, stepping toward me. “I’m such a fucking idiot. How did I not see this until now?”
“What does it matter? It doesn’t change anything.”
“It changes everything.” He gripped the back of my neck and yanked me toward him, slamming his mouth onto me with such force I lost my footing.
His strong arms wrapped around me.
Caging me against his body.
His scent.
His lips with an impact I hadn’t expected.
Colliding his mouth with mine, he parted his lips and beckoned me to do the same. I followed his lead, softly caressing the tip of my tongue with his. Our mouths moved against one another as if they were destined to meet and come together like this. Softly, he nipped at me, slowing down the unexpected movements of our emotional, catastrophic connection.
Resting his forehead on mine, he stared deep into my eyes and groaned, “Tell me you felt that…” He mimicked my panicked, heavy breathing.
“Yes.” I panted, loud enough for him to hear.
During this entire scene, we never morphed into our characters, making what we needed to happen next much more natural. I wasn’t nervous like I was before.
Now, being there with Aires… he made it easy.
He softly smiled, reading my mine like I knew he would.
The strength.
The pull.
It was inevitable between us.
There was no reason to deny it anymore.
The world thought we were a couple, and there was nothing to hide anymore. It was that realization that had tears forming in my eyes. I moaned against his lips while waves crashed at our feet, making everything so much more intense.
I savored his taste as he grabbed my ass and lifted me into his arms for my legs to wrap around his waist.
