Let the damn walls break {Evil Twin Series}

Chapter #5 (take it slow)

Rose ~

My jaw was once again slack and I couldn't find words to form a coherent sentence. He watched me for quite sometime, face serious, before he burst out into laughter.

My shocked face fell, replaced by a look of annoyance and embarrassment. But he didn't allow it to be on my face for too long before he was pulling me into a tight embrace. Sure, my cheeks probably immediately reddened but he felt so good pressed up against me and even if he could see my face.

"You're so soft Rose.... So soft and you smell so good." I was thinking the same thing as he allowed his hands to gently caress my back. I couldn't help but shut my eyes. I was thinking the same exact thing but it was harder for me to voice it.

"Are you scared of me?" He whispered warmly into my ear.

"S-surprisingly, no. Somehow I feel safe."

He let out a sigh, I could tell he was relieved. "I want you to feel safe with me. I want you to know that you can feel safe with me. I always want to protect you and I want you to be able to come to me when you need to feel safe. I want you to know that I'm here."

I shivered as he boldly took my earlobe between his lips before pulling away, arms and all. I suddenly felt cold. He put his hand under my chin, bringing up my
face that had fallen. "Look at me love. I'm yours to touch whenever, wherever, from now on when you want me. But as long as I've waited for you and have wanted to touch you, I am going to take this slow. It's the best thing for the both of us."

Hearing him say that gave me a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was weird to hear and I didn't like it. Take this slow? All things considered I didn't really like it.

"What if I-I didn't want..." My voice trailed off into nothing and I felt his eyes boring into my face. To say it was painful would be an understatement. My heart was thumping around so noisily in my chest he most likely could hear it.

"Didn't want what sweetheart?"

I was looking at the ceiling, counting backwards from ten, slowly.

"Rose, you will tell me or I'll make you." His voice turned dark and husky. The threat was real. It sent shivers of excitement up and down my spine.

"No." I played.

At that moment I let our eyes meet and he was grinning so wickedly. That beautiful face! Those perfect teeth and lips. He was pierced. I had never been with someone who was pierced. I wondered how it would feel. My mind was wandering around...

"Ok." Was all he said before he had me pinned down to the sofa, arms above my head. "I'm going to guess what you don't want and every time I don't get the answer right I'm going to go further with you until you tell me. Got it?"

I didn't shake or nod my head I just stared up at his beautiful face, shaking slightly.

He leaned down and kissed my cheek. "You don't want to get to know me?"

I whispered out 'wrong' and he leaned down again, gently trailing kisses down my jaw, to my neck.

"You don't want me to be here right now?" He was being coy. He was so much smarter than this.

"Wrong..." I stuttered.

His lips trailed across my collar bones and he stuck his tongue out to trace them. I couldn't help but let out a whimper.

"Sweetheart... I'm only going to keep going. I keep my word."

F'uck I was really hoping he did.
