Across the Ocean - Kyra Cooney-Cross

Chapter Fifteen - Welcome Home

We finally got back to Kyra's car, and I hadn't let go of her for a moment. Her driving usually scared me, she was a good driver but always yapping and getting distracted. I didn't care this time. 

I didn't say a word about how hard she was braking or when she would take her eyes of the road for a second to glance at me. I just sat there, staring at her, our fingers interlocked.

Every now and then, she'd lift up my hand to her mouth and kiss it. As we drove through Hertfordshire, I looked at the familiar streets that now called my name and wanted me.

Each turn and landmark brought a wave of comfort. It felt strange, almost surreal, to be back here after everything that had happened.

We pulled up to my flat, and as soon as I walked inside, I inhaled deeply, smelling the familiar notes of my scent diffusers coating the entire place in refreshing passionfruit and kiwi. I sighed. The air felt lighter, as if the weight of my recent experiences was beginning to lift.

Kyra brought my bags in, and as soon as her hands were free, she turned to me. "How are you feeling?"

I shook my head, taking a step towards her. "I don't want to talk about that right now."

I took her face in my hands and leaned forward, kissing her.

The kiss was gentle at first, a soft reassurance that we were here, together. But it quickly deepened, becoming a desperate need to feel close to her, to remind myself that she was real and here with me. 

Her hands slipped around my waist, pulling me closer, and I melted into her warmth. She tugged at the seam of my pants, her hands cold against my skin. 

I finally broke the kiss, trailing along her jawline, and then down to the sweet sport just under her eat. I nibbled slightly at the skin, her head slumping over me. Her moan filling the air, her hands immediately pulled me back to her lips. 

With a swift move, her arms dropped under my bum and she lifted me to her torso. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around her. I pulled slightly back her jaw in my hands. 

"You're perfect" I smiled as the thought just slipped out. 

She smirked, walking towards the couch, she sat down slowly causing me to straddle her lap. I leant down slightly our lips meeting again. With intention of a slow delicate kiss our mouths slammed together my body grinding against as the kiss deepened.

Her lips left mine and her hands slipped under my jumper, they explored everywhere. My back, my sides, my breasts. I quickly dropped my hands lifting the jumper over my head, revealing the smallest singlet I owned. 

I looked down to meet Kyra's eyes and a smirk took over her lips, she threw herself forward instantly kissing my collar bone. 

I grasped the back of her neck, interlocking both hands. I tugged her neck towards me so I could feel her closer to me. Moaning with every kiss, lick and flick. She pulled away, spinning us both. 

I landed flat on my back, she hovered over me. I smiled against her neck. As she stood up away from me, I sat up once again. 

Eyes burning into me, I smiled. She reached down tugging her jumper off and revealing just a sports bra, I smiled shaking my head. I reached forward my hands around her waist, I wanted more. I needed more. 

I pulled her toward me, her body instantly crashing against my face. I inhaled her, smelling every inch of her skin. My tongue explored her stomach, whilst my hands tugged at her pants. I pulled them down, her body following my lead. She stepped out, and once free I pulled her onto of me.
