sparks fly

"That was incredible." I squealed, clapping my hands in excitement. "Thanks for letting me do that."

"You kinda forced me. Besides, it's okay. You look hot driving my car." He smirks, running his tongue along his lower lip.

I had to look away as I suppressed a full body shiver, hiding my face to conceal my crimson cheeks.

"What's wrong?" I heard him gently whisper beside me while my face was buried into the steering wheel. I can sense the flirtatious smirk still on his lips as he speaks.

"You don't have to hide from me." His voice is smooth and silky, making me completely melt into my seat.
The way he's speaking almost sent me over the edge. He was teasing me.

I lift my head up slowly, twisting my neck to look at him. Richard tilts his head to analyse my face, noticing my cheeks burning red. He lets out a short breathless laugh before he lifts his hand up to stroke along my jaw, just like how he did at the cemetery. His fingertips softly grazing my skin as he gazes deeply into my green eyes, as if he were admiring them.

"It's your turn, Willow." He says, still caressing my face from the passenger seat.

"Hmm." Is all I managed to get out. I was completely lost in his penetrating dark eyes. I think I forgot how to speak.

"Truth or Dare?" He questions.

"Dare."

Without a word, Richard pulls me gently by the arm, yanking me over the centre console to sit on his lap. He urges me to wrap my legs over his. I obey, straddling him while I calm my heavy breathing.
We were so close. Heaving chests practically touching, faces within centimetres of one another. The whole car was filled with a red glow from the neon hotel sign that stood in the parking lot.

He strokes the back of my head, running his hand along the full length of my dark locks as he pushes it slightly towards him to get even closer. Our foreheads made contact, sending a shiver to run down the entirety of my spine. Our lips were almost touching.

I'm ready.

"I dare you to kiss me." Richard breathed into my mouth.

His eyes darken before he crashes his lips onto mine, growling low in his throat as he does so. My clammy palms find themselves tangled in his soft dark curls while his hands dropped down my body, now glued to my waist.

I gasp as his tongue sneaks out and darts against my lips. The feeling is so exquisite that I'm instantly greedy for more. I hesitantly open my mouth, allowing our tongues to touch for the first time. The whole moment is sheer bliss.

I'm filled with the taste of him. The faint flavour of smoke coating the inside of my mouth as our tongues fight for dominance. I couldn't help but whimper at the sensation. Richard rewarded the sound by deepening the kiss even more, giving me everything I desired.

I wanted him so badly.

I felt his hand possessively snake around my throat, his long fingers getting tangled around the silver chains on my neck.

I can feel the tremors passing through his body while he desperately kisses me. Like a starving man, savouring the sweet taste of my lips. He kisses me fiercely, as if his life depends on it. I try my best to keep up with him.

Richard momentarily breaks the intense make-out session to focus on my neck. He uses his index finger to lift up my jaw, giving him better access. My eyes rolled to the back of my skull as he sucked harshly on the sensitive skin, even nibbling and softly catching my flesh between his teeth. I could feel the bruises forming as he continued, marking his territory.

He trails soft pillowy kisses all the way up my neck then my jaw, then finally back up to my lips.

"You have no idea how much I want you." He groans between kisses.

My head was spinning at the feelings he's giving me.
His lips were even softer than they looked.

For a moment, I felt his fingers dance around the hem of my sweater, tugging slightly at the fabric, before a warm hand began to slide under and wander up my skin. He stroked the side of my body, reaching higher and higher until he hit the band of my bra. Richard's hand lingered there for a couple seconds to make sure I was okay with what he was doing. And when I leaned further into him, his palms snaked around my upper body, gripping onto my side as he lightly bit my lower lip, drawing the tiniest bit of blood.

"Fuck." I moaned into his mouth as his thumb brushed against my nipple through the thin material of my black lace bra. He smirked against the kiss.

I was on cloud nine.
Beyond the point of no return.

Richard dropped his hand to my thigh to rub gentle circles, his large hand wrapping easily around it. My stomach did backflips as he reached higher up my leg, teasing me with his fingers as he slowly stroked my inner thigh through the fabric of my pants.

Just as my grip fell from his curls to hold his face, someone knocked against the glass of the passenger side window by the side of us. I audibly gasped as I quickly threw myself off of his lap to jump back to the driver's seat. My back was pressed against the door, with my arms wrapped tightly around my knees.
My heart felt like it almost exploded.

It was Jane, the housekeeper lady I met last week. She stood by the window, shaking her head with a smile.
Richard and I were too occupied to even notice the time - 5am. We had no idea the sun was even rising.

"Shit." Richard hissed as he rolled down the window.
"Oh uh. H-hi Jane."

He scratched the back of head as he readjusted his jeans, which were noticeably tighter around his crotch.

"Is this what you two get up to all night instead of working?" Jane laughed, her finger gesturing back and forth between me and Richard.

"N-no. Uh we just-" I stuttered as my face fell into my hands, letting out an awkward laugh. I felt I could throw up out of pure embarrassment.
Jane just chuckled at me.

"Well, I'll let you two love birds get going." She teased, flicking Richard's shoulder before she trailed off to the hotel entrance.

Richard and I just stared at each other blankly as Jane walked away, not saying a single word. We both looked flustered. Our hair was messy, our lips swollen, both trying to catch our breath.

The corner of my mouth twitched into a soft smile, then breaking out into the largest, toothiest grin imaginable. I burst into a fit of laughter. It's the only thing I could think of doing to break the awkward silence.

Richard raised an eyebrow, before laughing along with me. I noticed my light pink strawberry scented lip gloss all around his mouth, shimmering under the golden sunrise.

"That was so embarrassing." I sigh as my laughter trailed off, placing the palm of my hand on my heart.

"Damn. I know."

"Next time we should go somewhere a little more private." I added while I adjusted my sweater.

"Next time?" Richard smirked.

"Shut up." I roll my eyes. "Come on, switch sides with me and take me home."
