Inexplicable

Chapter Twenty-Five

Davina

I pulled gently against his hands, keeping me trapped, and he immediately let go, pulling away from me quickly. "What's wrong?"

I rolled my eyes as I sat up quickly, though I thought his reaction was comforting. He may have pinned me down, but it was nice to know I was the one in control. I straddled his lap and placed my arms around his neck. "You worry too much." I kiss him again, running my hands through his inky hair and pulling gently.

"Davina..." He warned, but I pressed my mouth back to his to prevent him from speaking. He growled against my lips, sending a way of heat through me. His hands gripped my waist firmly, squeezing just tight enough to excite me.

I rolled my hips once and gasped, feeling his length against me through his pants. He broke the kiss suddenly, leaning back. "Davina."

"What?" I groaned, but it sounded more like a whine.

"You're playing a dangerous game, my love. Very dangerous." His voice was breathless and low, like a warning.

"That's the best kind of game," I said with a grin, returning my lips to his and rolling my hips more. A guttural growl radiated from him, and his hands moved under my dress to the flesh on my backside, squeezing roughly.

I bit his lip playfully between a kiss, and he hissed. It was something about the way I affected him that turned me on even more. I was the one in control as I ground my hips against him in a steady rhythm. I could feel him hard against me; the only thing separating us was his jeans and my underwear, and I desperately wanted both gone.

He pulled away, burying his face in my neck, biting and sucking gently. "Jax..." I moaned, rocking my hips faster as the heat built inside me. My head fell back, and my eyes fluttered closed.

His own hips started to move, meeting mine and giving me a whole new sensation. I gasped, my body almost vibrating at his touch.

His hands ventured upward, exploring my body. He cupped my breast through the fabric of my dress, squeezing it before teasing at the seam, almost like he was seeking permission. When I didn't object, he pulled the neckline of the dress down, allowing both of my breasts to spill out. I felt so exposed as the cool air nipped my skin, but I certainly didn't want him to stop.

He leaned back for a moment, taking my exposed body in. "You're so fucking beautiful." He breathed out before taking a nipple into his mouth. I cried out at the new feeling, the heat coursing through me, ramping up to a new level. I laced my fingers through his hair, pulling him closer as I rocked against him quicker, harder.

He moaned against my breast as his tongue flicked over my nipple, making me gasp. "Don't stop," I begged, as a feeling rose inside me. "God, please don't stop."

In quick moves, he laid me back on the blanket, never removing his lips from me as he sucked and nibbled. My legs automatically wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer to me.

He pulled slightly away, but only to move his free hand to my thigh. My dress had risen to my belly, leaving me almost completely exposed to him. He rubbed his hand up and down my inner thigh, making me gasp for air like a fish out of water.

"Jax..." I pleaded, hoping he knew what I wanted. He squeezed my thigh once more before moving higher and finding the fabric separating us. He teased me, running a finger along the seam as I squirmed beneath him.

Finally, he trailed his fingers over the fabric, down to my core, where he added pressure before gently circling his fingers. My back arched, and I clawed at his back.

"Yes!" I hissed. He added pressure, moving his fingers quicker as a fire built in my belly. I bucked my hips, needing to feel him against me.

"I want you. Jax, please..." I moaned breathlessly. A deep sound came from him as his fingers slowed before he removed them entirely.

"What?" I prop up on my elbows. "What are you doing? Don't stop." I pressed my lips to his again, and he let me for a moment.

"We can't, " he whispered, trying to pull away, but I hooked my arms around his neck.

"We can." I kiss him again, but he pushes me back, removing my hands from his neck.

"If I don't stop now, I don't think I will." His eyes looked dark with desire.

"I don't want to stop."

"We have to, Love."

I scooted away from him, pulling my dress back into its intended position, and wrapped my arms around myself. I felt so vulnerable then. I had just given him more of myself than I'd ever given anyone, and I could physically feel the sting of his rejection.

"Don't do that." He said gently, crawling to sit beside me. I ignored him like a child. "Davina." He said, using his index finger to turn my face to his. "You are a princess. I can take your virtue unless we marry."

"That's still a thing?" I say with wide eyes. "Seriously? We're in the twenty-first century!"

He smiles. "It's important where we come from, especially given your status. The Gods know how much I want to take that step with you." He gently runs his thumb across my lower lip. "But I can't jeopardize your future."

"I get it. You're a gentleman or whatever." I say sarcastically, making him chuckle.

"Don't pout, my Love."

"Want to go to Vegas?" I suggest. "Because I'm totally up for getting married."

His brilliant laughter fills the silence, making it impossible for me to stay mad. "I take it you enjoyed yourself?"

I grabbed his hand, placing it in my lap. "Of course I did. I'm with you." I look up at him with my best innocent look.

"Not going to work this time." He scolds. "But nice try."

I fall back on the blanket, giving up. "Fine. You win... this time."

"What a rarity. I normally stand no chance against you."

I toss a pillow at him playfully, but he just catches it with a chuckle. "It's getting late. I need to get you home."

I groaned loudly. "I don't want to leave. Not yet."

He lies next to me, propping his head up on his hand. With his free hand, he draws circles with his finger on my arm. My eyes drift closed, and I suddenly feel tired from all the excitement.

"Maybe we can stay a bit longer." He whispers.
