I've never felt so alive, the adrenaline filling my lungs like a breath of fresh air. The electricity I feel pulsating in my veins was a high I nearly chased all my life, something I was so dangerously attracted to but too scared to ever tap into it.

It was that electricity I always daydreamed about—something that was so unlike me that ended up giving me a thrill of my life. I didn't know this side of me existed, this thirst for danger—it felt like something in my blood. I surprised myself with my driving today, the way I spun us out to freedom and conspired quickly on my feet. I don't know where that all came from, it was like an instinct in my soul.

Kissing heavily through the threshold of the master bedroom, I couldn't keep my hands off him. It was a result of the high aching through my veins still. My fingers were knit pensively in his hair as his stay firm on my hips. In control, I walk us backwards into the money covered room without ever opening my eyes or separating our lips. He kissed me back just as eager, but I was leading it for once.

I eventually hit the bed behind me, flipping us around. My shove forces him down on the mattress, his hands slipping to the back of my thighs as I stand between his legs. I sever our kiss, watching him open his eyes to me bent forward in front of his sit. He smiles with a blush in his cheeks, chest rising up and down like I was winding him from all the kissing. The black bandana was still around his neck, hood down behind.

Smiling at him, I dive into his neck and give it a teasing kiss with my parted lips. I breathe in harshly through my nose when against the skin, sucking on his soft spot. From there I kissed right under the hook of the jaw then down the neckline of his hoodie.

I had this charge in me from the aftermath of what happened. I feel on top of the world, I couldn't describe it. All I wanted to do was touch him and be in control like the control I felt on the road. I didn't want to rid this feeling.

Departing from his neck, I fall to my knees in front of him. My eyes look up at his towering seat on the edge of the bed, his eyes going wide as I was down between his ripped jean legs. A smile arose up his face.

"What do you think you're doing?"

I try to control my grin as my hands slide along the top of his thighs, getting to the belt hunkered around his waist. My fingers unlace the leather through the silver clasp, keeping my eyes up on his.

"I don't know, what am I doing?" I tease while undoing his belt so it hangs open along the pant loops.

"You're still on your adrenaline high I see." He pays attention to me undoing the button of his jeans.

"I feel good," I smile with my bottom lip between my teeth while getting his tight zipper undone. "And I'm thrilled you're all alive."

He chuckles under his breath as my eyes divert to the waist of his jeans, undoing the zipper completely and yanking the waist so it lowers an inch and I can get at what I needed to. Up on my knees between his legs, I curl my fingers around the band of his boxers to further pull them. Just as I got to see the faint trail of hair, he stops me.

"Wait–wait..." He swallows both my hands with his so I stop pulling the tight material.

I look up and him and freeze with my fingers curled around the elastic, eyes catching his. He had a small smile awarded on his face but a look of doubt in his eyes. Immediately, I was a little confused.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah–yeah sorry. I...just have to go bring the ring to Malikai so I don't have much time. Can I just kiss you a little bit instead?" He asks in uncertainty.
