Dax wasn’t sure why he did it, he didn’t know what came over him to kiss her, maybe it was the way she smiled, when he knew it was a true smile and not the one she had been faking all night or maybe it was because she opened up to him, and he felt like he was seeing the real her. Nym on the balcony was nothing compared to Nym in that alleyway, she was completely different.
She pulled away from him and her eyes were filled with shock.
“I’m sorry.” He said, because it was the only thing that sounded right to say.
“You…it’s ok.” She said and for once, Nym looked truly confused. “We should go back in.” She smiled softly. “The food is ready and I am sure that everyone has eaten already.” Dax nodded and then followed Nym inside. He would be lying if he said he had not enjoyed the kiss, because he had. Nym was very experienced with kissing, and Dax could not decide if that was a good thing or not.
When they walked in, the conversation halted for a moment, and then resumed, even louder than before. He did not really like being at the party, he felt like everyone knew this big secret, and he was the only one who was being singled out. Every once in a while he would see someone looking at him and once he noticed, they quickly averted their eyes. He felt like someone had told a joke, but he had missed to punch line.
Through the rest of the night, Nym seemed distracted by something. She played the good host, making sure that Dax had all that he needed, but she was not focused on him. Nym’s sisters spoke to him briefly, but they seemed to keep their distance from him, actually, everyone at the party seemed to keep their distance from him. Dax was growing annoyed, and he just wanted to leave. He was about ready to go home and tell Dev that he was done going out, because it was not worth the awkwardness.
“Come with me.” Nym said, grabbing onto Dax’s wrist. She pulled him out to the front of the house, and a distance away, closer to his car, which was parked near the end of the driveway. The house was so luxurious that he was not sure who would have given it to someone as a gift. “Listen, I'm sorry the way that everyone has been acting towards you.” She said, slowing her pace but holding onto Dax’s hand. “It’s just, I warned them to be nice to you, and most of them don't really know how to do that. And I haven't really been helping, it’s just I never really open up to people, like I did to you, and I just don't know how I feel about how much I shared with you. I know it does not seem like a lot, but very few people know the story behind my eye color, and then you kissed me…I was just overwhelmed. I promise I was not trying to be rude in any way.”
“Why are you interested in me? Why are you trying to be so nice?”
“Do you want the truth?” Dax nodded, not wanting a lie. “You intrigue me. Day in and day out, I deal with high-class people, high-class men to be more specific and they can be such a bore. I want to be with someone more down to Earth, someone who has not been offered everything to them and someone who is a challenge. I do not want someone that will flock to me like sheep; I want someone who likes me for more than just my looks. I know that we just met, and I didn't make a good first impression, but—” Again, Dax was not sure why he did it, but he could not seem to help himself. He did enjoy the sound of her rambling on, and she looked beautiful when she had that lost look on her face, but that was not reason enough to kiss her. But, he could not help himself. Dax had never been so abrupt, so demanding or even so brave when it came to his actions for himself, but he really wanted to kiss Nym, and for the second time in one night, he did what he wanted for himself. His lips moved against hers, kissing her deeper than he had anyone in a long time. Nym pulled him close, and started moving them backwards until he felt them bump against a hard object, maybe a car? Dax did not really care, all he could think about was her lips against his. They battled for dominance for a moment, but Nym quickly took control and Dax was not surprised in the least. Dax’s hands seemed to move at their own accord, sliding down her arms, across her stomach and to her butt, which he used to lift her up and she quickly wrapped her legs around his torso. Nym bit onto his bottom lips gently, causing a groan to leave his lips. He felt her smile against his lips and she deepened the kiss, as if she was staking claim on him. She moved her mouth from his, and kissed down to his neck, where she bit, not so gently, and Dax pressed himself against her. He was not sure why he liked the pain, and he did not really care. He thought, since she had marked him, that he would return the favor. He brought his lips to her neck, he blew gently on it first, sending shivers through her body, and then he began sucking, which caused a moan to leave her mouth and she wiggled against him. Nym gripped onto his hair, and forced his mouth back to hers so she could continue the kiss. While Dax’s hands her full, holding her up, Nym took the advantage and started feeling around Dax’s body, and a pinch to his butt made his smirk.
This was not Dax. He was not some confident man, with a way with women; he was awkward and shy and could barely talk to a woman. But with Nym, with her on him like this, it was like he knew everything that he was doing, and he wasn’t fearing rejection, or hurt, he was just thinking about how perfect her butt was and how soft her lips were, also how his mind was running wild and he was ready to do some naughty things with this woman.
However, she pulled away before Dax could even suggest an idea. She was panting heavily and her eyes were wide and full of lust. Dax was panting some himself, and he literally felt high from her kiss. His head was light and he really needed to sit down.
“Damn, you can kiss.” He told her, looking at her swollen lips and wanting more.
“As can you.” She said, and he knew right away that wasn’t what she had been expecting, but Dax wasn’t even insulted, the fact that she thought he was a good kisser was enough to dismiss the lack of expectation. She looked him over, in a lustful way, and then sighed. “You have probably better be getting home.”
“Yeah, Dev is waiting for me.” Dax honestly did not want to leave her, he had never felt this way about a woman and he could not figure out what it was about her that drew him in. When he met eyes with her, he knew immediately that it was the white eyes of hers, they marked her as different, unique, and he liked that about her.
“Will I see you again?” She asked, sounding truly hopeful.
“Yes.” Dax said, without thinking. “I am off tomorrow.”
“I work until the evening, but if you are free after six, then we can go out.”
“Six should work. Do you want me to come here, or…?”
“Why don't you come here, my sisters will be out of town.” Dax was happy for that, he did not really like her sisters, the only one he could really make an exception for was Fayre, but Bayle and Kalon gave him a bad feeling.
Dax blushed when he realized he was still holding Nym. With the heat of the moment gone, his awkwardness was coming back. He set her down gently.
“I hope you enjoyed yourself.”
“Well, I had fun at the end.” He smirked.
“Well, at least you felt some pleasure.” Nym said, her eyes shooting below his waist, looking at his pleasure, which was so evident on his body. “Tell your sister I said hi.” She said, walking away. Dax could not help but stare at her butt, and the way her hips swayed as she walked away. “Oh, and be ready for a fun night tomorrow!”
Dax got into his car, and took a deep breath. He was never like this with women, never. But Nym brought out the more daring side of him. He brought his hand to his neck, where she had bitten him, and he felt something wet. He pulled his hand back and looked at it, seeing blood. Had Nym really bitten him that hard? When he thought back to it, all he could think about was the feeling that went through him, and pleasure raised its way through his body again. He wanted more of her, and he wanted it now.
Dax knew at that moment that Nym was going to be the death of him.
