I’m so shocked to see him here at my door, my jaw hangs open, which allows him to easily deepen the kiss. A gasp escapes me and he groans, pushing his solid body against mine. I stumble back and Cove keeps walking towards me, his lips never leaving mine. I didn’t even plan to kiss him back, yet here I am.
I’m vaguely aware of the sound of my bedroom door closing – there’s a boy in my room! – before Cove’s sunshine and ocean scent fills my senses and overtakes all rational thought. I lose myself in him, which, in the back of my mind somewhere, freaks me out. But not enough that I stop kissing him.
When the back of my legs bump into the edge of my bed, I fall, pulling Cove right along with me. Somehow I’m as reluctant to let him go, as he is me. He braces his arms on the mattress to save from crushing me under his weight, and his lips devour me like a fish swallowing water – nope that’s too random – like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I have no comparisons, but it feels so damn good.
We break for air, or Cove does. I’ve forgotten that I need air to breathe, consumed by the enticing taste of him, and half convinced that all I need to live is his lips. When he gently rubs the tip of his nose along my cheek and inhales the scent of my shampoo, goosebumps raise all along my arms and a delicious shiver shoots down my spine.
“Cove,” I gasp. “What are you doing here?”
“I came to say goodnight,” he answers, gazing down at me. His ocean blue eyes are dark with midnight promise as he vows, “and I don’t plan on leaving.”
He kisses me again, less feverishly this time, as though he’s managed to convince himself that I’m not going anywhere – or I’m not sending him anywhere – and he has all night. Now he kisses me like he wants to take his time, to explore every inch of me and to commit me to memory. I wouldn’t know from experience, but his kiss is like something out of the movies…something they tell us looks a lot like love.
Which is ridiculous, because all my life I’ve been told that I’m a burden. A curse. A cross to bear.
Unlovable.
But I do love the way Cove kisses me, so I’m more than happy to let him. My hands wander across his strong shoulders and along his biceps while we make out languorously. He’s not as built as Bhodi is – I don’t know anyone who is – but he’s seriously toned and athletic from all the surfing he does.
I don’t know how long we lie together, cocooned in my room under the soft yellow glow of my fairy lights. The world could be imploding right outside my window, and we wouldn’t have a clue; we’re so lost in each other. I’m not even sure I’d care if it were.
I squirm, overcome with a sudden need for…something….and my movement makes Cove groan.
“Shit, sorry, did I hurt you?” I ask, my brow creasing in panicked concern.
“Hurt me? No.” He shakes his head and gives me a rueful look. “You’re killing me.”
I frown, not understanding. “Wha—” Cove rolls his hips and the long, hard length of him presses against my core. “Oh.”
“Yeah.”
I still don’t fully understand how I’m killing him, but it feels like he needs something almost as badly as I do. It certainly felt good when he pushed himself against me. My body screamed yes! at the contact.
“You like that?” he asks, doing it again. I nod. He gives a wicked grin and leans down to kiss me again. “Me too.”
He tugs at the belt on my robe which easily comes undone and the satin falls open, exposing me to the heat of his body. Even though he’s fully clothed, he feels like a furnace right on top of me, and his increasingly demanding kisses are raising my temperature too.
I’ve never been naked in front of a guy like this before. Breathe. Just…breathe, Malia!
I’m a split second away from freaking the fuck out when Cove skims his palm down my side, ghosting the side of my breast, grazing my waist and coming to rest gripping my hip. My hips jolt upward and my skin zings alive under the barely-there caress of his thumb pad on my hip bone.
“Is this okay?” he whispers, moving to kiss along my jawline and tease my ear. My music switches to ‘I Lost Myself In Loving You’ and I nod, half lost in the lyrics and praying I don’t blurt out something stupid.
“Mmm-hmm.”
“You sure? You’re really tense.”
“Don’t stop,” I plead, barely recognising my own voice.
“Wasn’t planning to, sweetheart.”
He bites the tender skin of my neck, and I’m embarrassed by the noise that comes out of me. He soothes the sting with his tongue, but the gentle lapping soon turns into a strong sucking that has me squirming restlessly under him.
Suddenly Cove pulls back, looks down at me and declares, “I have to taste you.”
“Erm, weren’t you just doing that?” I blush.
“All of you.”
