Charm Of Sensuality

Chapter 6

Kane couldn't think of anything except the way she felt in his arms. The smell of her skin. The taste of her against his tongue. God... she was like a drug, more potent than opium and more addictive than nicotine. He squeezed her closer and she gasped, she was basically being crushed.

He kept one arm secured around her and he used his free hand to bury his fingers in her hair, pushing her head forward. He kissed her hard, his tongue playing along her lips and exploring every inch of her mouth. She grew weak in the knees, her legs shaking. Pleasure exploded in the back of her mind and she thought that she was going to melt at any second. This was crazy. So wild she simply couldn't fathom it.

The more he kissed her, the better she felt. The better she felt, the more pheromones she emitted. The more pheromones she emitted the more he wanted her. It was a never ending cycle that was quickly spiraling out of control. But his kisses felt so good. Like electricity pulsing through her veins. Every flick of his tongue felt like he was licking her in private, untouched places.

He twisted her in the small space, pushing her against the counter. He suckled the tip of her tongue and she moaned at the sensation. She felt as if she were being devoured. He kissed with such aggression, such raw, primal need.

The sound of the doorbell chiming was all it took for Eden to snap out of her pleasure filled haze. She turned her head, snatching her lips away, sucking in a breath of air. Kane did not snap out of his stupor, he merely directed his kisses to her cheek, her neck, sucking hard enough to leave a hickey. She gasped, shoving at his chest.

"Kane! Kane, stop it!" She snapped huskily as the doorbell chimed once more.

She managed to turn around in his tight grasp and her eyes fell on three familiar pairs of eyes.

One of them being Mrs. Walker.

Mrs. Walker's eyes were as round as saucers and in that moment Eden knew that the news would be in everyone's ears once the day was through. Mrs. Walker was the biggest gossip in town and that was public knowledge.

Eden shivered as Kane ran his warm tongue along the back of her ear, his hands trailing up her abdomen, headed straight toward her breast. He was openly caressing her, licking her and she couldn't quite seem to stop him. He was so far gone.

"I'll be with you all in-," she gasped when his hands cupped her breast and squeezed, "a second."

She grabbed for his hands, trying to pry them back down. She writhed against his chest when his thumbs ran over her hardened nipples. She suppressed a groan. She could still feel the eyes of the women on her and she was more embarrassed than she had ever been in her whole life.

"Kane, stop, damn it!" She snapped as he tilted her head back to give him better access to her neck. "You-," she sighed, "... said you would protect me."

He suddenly froze, gritting his teeth. "Christ, that took me by surprise." He mumbled as he swiftly took a step back, his hands sliding down her body to rest on her hips. Her body was so sensitive from his touch that the simple action alone made her visibly shiver.

"I'm sorry, sweet heart." He whispered against the back of her neck before stepped around the counter, a smile plastered on his kiss swollen lips.

"Hello ladies." He said to the three women standing in the middle of the store. He used a hand to wipe at the moisture of his lips. His thumb swiping so nonchalantly and suave that it was strangely charming. The space was charged with sexual, primal energy and it all seemed to be radiating from him. They all stared at him before smiling, looking rather flabbergasted and slightly flushed. He reached for each of their hands and shook them gently, "I'm Kane and it's nice to finally meet you all."

They all nodded, too busy staring at him to do anything else. He nodded toward the flowers outside before turning toward Eden, "I'm going to water the flowers, sweet heart."

Eden stared at him before blinking, for a moment, she too was lost in the tranceof him, "Um, of course. Okay... babe?"

He raised a brow at her before walking passed the women and out the door.

As soon as he was gone all eyes fell on her. Mrs. Walker was the first to speak up, a grin on her face, "Well, well, well, someone took my advice. You done went and got yourself Mr. Fine-Wine."

Eden groaned, covering her face with her hands. "Oh my God, listen I'm really sorry about that. He's a little aggressive and when he gets like that he kind of doesn't care who's around." She said quickly, though she wasn't truly lying.

The women waved off her apology, "Baby if I was a few years younger, honey I'd steal him from you." They all said in unison as if they had practiced it together.

She couldn't help but laugh because it was obvious that they were absolutely serious. "Ya'll are too much."

Mrs. Walker shook her head and walked forward, reaching for her hands, "You alright, honey? You haven't opened the shop in a while, me and a couple of the girls were worried about ya'."

"I'm fine Mrs. Walker, thank you. It's just that... um, Kane stayed... over." She said with embarrassment. She knew what she was implying and by the looks on the women's faces they knew what she was implying as well.

She cleared her throat after a moment of chilling silence. Mrs. Walker's eyes were shinning with the newfound information and it was obvious that she was more than ready to leave and tell any and every one she saw that she had witnessed first-hand "Old Baird's" pure granddaughter being fondled by the mysterious newcomer. And add in the fact that Eden had basically admitted to spending several nights with him in closed confinement.

She was practically giddy with excitement to gossip. "Well, I can't blame you if somebody that looked like that was talking to me."

Eden forced a smile, "Yeah, he's decided to stay in town for a while. He... um, wants to settle in around here." She mumbled with furrowed brows, trying to keep her story straight though she said it as if it were a question instead of a fact.

Mrs. Walker leaned forward, "Really? He's staying in town just to be with you? Oh, baby, ain't that something."

"Yep, yep, it is."

Mrs. Walker quickly hugged her good bye and promised to come again another day. Though Eden knew another day meant tomorrow, except she wouldn't come alone, she'd bring a whole herd of gossipers with her to witness the truth. The other women bought smalls things before leaving and wishing her luck.

As soon as they walked out of the store she collapsed onto the counter. She groaned inwardly. This was so much more than she bargained for. The last thing she wanted was for everyone in town to be gossiping about her love life, a love life that was actually nonexistent.

The doorbell chimed again and she glanced up but frowned when her eyes fell on Kane standing in the doorway. There was a look of deep thought on his face as if he were trying to find the answer to a long intricate problem.

"Starting today we're training." He said matter-of-factly.

"Huh?"

"I have a strong will but even I can't help but fall prey to you. When we get back to the house, we're training. I'm going to teach you how to control some of your essence. That can't happen again," he said with extreme seriousness as he referred to the fiasco from moments before. "I won't let it happen again."

Eden sighed, "Great. Can't wait for more torture."
