I turn around to straddle him, clutching my hands around his neck. “Now that’s sad. You’ll make a woman really happy someday.”
He shakes his head and closes his eyes. I want to erase the memories of his pain; when he opens them again that’s all I see.
Pain. Regret. Sadness.
“Why do you stop yourself?”
“Don’t. Gemma—don’t.”
He groans when I thrust my hips in his lap, whispering in his ear, “I want to know everything there is to know about you.”
He squeezes my thigh. “Trust me, Red. You shouldn’t care for me.”
This gives me pause. He doesn’t believe he’s worthy. I can tell by his tone of voice that I might’ve found the slightest vulnerability in Damon Dreygon.
“Damon . . .”
His lips shut mine up with a kiss. A fierce, passionate, out-of-this-world kiss that sets fire down to my toes. I feel it everywhere.
Just him. All over me.
When I’m with him, he’s all I can think about. When I’m away from him, he’sstillall I can think about.
And it’s not good. No good can come out of this; he’s told me several times already. He’s telling me again.
Listen. Listen to him.
Despite my pleas, my heart opens up to him, my body a done deal from long ago—it wanted him from day one.
His tongue lightly pushes into my mouth, and I moan whilehis hands are traveling underneath his hoodie and my black T-shirt.
We break apart. His eyes dark and so, so dangerous.
“Can I?” I look down to see what he’s asking. He’s holding the hem of his red hoodie with one hand, and I nod as he helps me remove it. I shiver when he caresses his long, masculine fingers down one bare arm.
I don’t even think twice.
I take off my shirt, leaving me in my lacy, dark green bra.
The distance is there—he’s not touching me, but it doesn’t matter because his eyes are feasting on me, drinking me in. He starts at the top of my head, and slowly, so slowly, they make their journey down to my lips, my collarbone, until they reach my breasts.
That’s when he lets out a loud exhale.
Does he do this with all the women he sleeps with?
“So beautiful.” Greedy hands skirt my skin, leaving goosebumps in their wake. His thumbs each glide down with a bra strap, letting them fall on both arms. “Tell me, Gemma... what’s your biggest fear?”
It’s as if I’m trembling all over. I’m not, I know I’m not, but it still feels as though I am. My body has come alive; it’s alive, it’s living, and I don’t want it to stop.
Please don’t make me stop living, Damon.
I want this so bad. Even if it kills me. Even if he doesn’t catch me.
I’ll spend the rest of my life with simple memories of this just to know it was possible tofeelthis much, to reach this type of high.
He grabs one of my bra cups, lifting my breast. “Tell me...”
I hear myself moan softly when he finds my nipple and plays with it.
