Ana
After taking a hot shower, I figured Blaise would have been asleep. When I stepped out, I found him watching something on the TV.
“Can’t sleep?” I asked, dropping my clothes off at my luggage before approaching the bed. Getting a closer look at him, I noticed that he had gotten changed himself. I guess he really didn’t need my help after all.
“Something like that.” He kept his attention on the screen, not even bothering to look my way.
When I had packed for the trip, I didn’t see any harm in wearing my nightgowns. Now, I wish I had worn something a little less revealing. From the look of things, he wasn’t even interested anyway. It didn’t matter if I stepped out of the shower without anything on, he still wouldn’t have even looked my way.
Plopping down next to him, I didn’t even bother with the covers. It was too hot to think about snuggling beneath them. My skin felt flushed from the water, and the air felt thick.
Who knew sharing such a small space with my crush could be hard? I didn’t think I had ever faced such a challenge in my life. All this time, he didn’t even know of my feelings. He wasn’t aware of what kind of thoughts crossed my mind. If he did, something told me he wouldn’t have agreed to come along with me. He wouldn’t want me crossing lines that I shouldn’t even try to approach.
Rolling onto my side away from him, I stared ahead. Like him, I wasn’t tired in the slightest. Even now, my thoughts were running wild. Thoughts of why I hadn’t told Blaise how I felt. If he knew, what if something could come out of a confession?
At the same time, I was afraid to lose him.
It was getting hard to pick my battles. Biting my lip, I hesitated on my next move.
Maybe if he knew, he’d accept my feelings. What if something could actually come out of a relationship between the both of us? Normally the kind of person to get my hopes up, I tried to think out the pros and cons of making an impulsive decision.
I wasn’t very good with my words. If I told him, I’d most likely just fumble with my words. Though, I didn’t have to verbally tell him. I couldshowhim. Actions spoke louder than words, right?
While I had the courage, I flipped around to look at him. While taking in his appearance, my heart sped. Could he hear it pounding away?
Moving to sit up, I knew I’d get cold feet if I didn’t strike while the iron was hot. Moving toward him, I didn’t stop until I swung my leg over his body and straddled his hips without a single word leaving my lips.
Blaise looked visibly startled. I don’t think I had ever seen such an expression on the man’s face. His lips parted, but no words came out. All he could do was stare up at me.
Squeezing his hips with my thighs, I tried to even out my breathing. While I wanted to come off as confident, my heart was racing like crazy. At any second, I prepared myself to get turned down. To be shoved off. Waited for him to not return my feelings.
Instead, we stared at each other for what felt like an eternity. If he felt any confusion, I made sure to get my intentions across by shifting my hips against his. Not even our clothes could hide what was hidden beneath.
With Blaise, I could definitely feelsomething.
“What are you doing, Ana?” he asked as he dropped the remote, letting the device crash to the floor. His head moved back against the pillow and his eyes moved. Rather than continuing to look at me, he stared up at the ceiling. The way his brow was lowered, I can only imagine the internal battle going on in his mind.
I wasn’t sure if he planned on ordering me to get off of his lap or letting me stay right where I was.
“Something that I’ve wanted to do for a while.” Moving against him, I let out a breathy moan. One that I didn’t realize I’d been holding in. The curse that left his lips made the torture I was putting through myself worth it. As good as it felt to press myself against him, I was far hungrier for more than some brief friction.
Leaning forward, I flattened my hands against his broad chest. I’d never touched him like that before. With such a strong frame, I would think he would be unstoppable. Yet here I was, doing as I pleased.
“Do you want me to stop?” I asked him, hovering over him as I refused to break away from our eye contact. If I wanted him to take me seriously, I needed to refuse to budge.
Blaise looked even more frustrated. His eyes had closed and more lines formed along his forehead. His hands moved, brushing my hips. It was like he was afraid to actually touch me. I never thought of Blaise as someone who could be scared.
My brain felt fried. Blaise actuallytouchedme.
“I don’t understand, Analise. If you feel like owe me something–”
Loving the sound of my name on his lips, I reached down to grab one of his hands. Feeling the slack of his limb, I lifted his hand. Pressing his palm against my breast, I bit down on my lip to avoid letting some embarrassing sound out. With my nipples already pressing against the fabric of my nightgown, I knew I was poking his palm.
The man was going to make me die of embarrassment. I was not made to lead.
“Do you really think I have the thought of paying you back in my mind right now?” I asked him huskily. He had no idea of the damage he’d done walking into my life. He’d know soon.
Blaise always seemed so untouchable. Well, I was tired of keeping my hands all to myself.
