Fates | Book 2 ✔️

[19]

I wake up to teeth scathing down my neck with soft nips and kisses being placed in between every now and again. They are gentle, so I easily ignore them and find myself going back to sleep. However, I feel a sharp bite in the next moment causing me to open my eyes and move away from him with a start. Lance only laughs and beckons me closer with his hands, but I keep my distance.

"Do not be like that. Come here. I nipped too hard." He smiles and scoots closer to me instead, wrapping a loose arm around me as he does. 

Because of him, I had barely gotten any sleep last night. Now he isn't letting me get any sleep now. Is this some kind of strange punishment from him for everything that has happened? I can't help but think that way. My eyes lower onto the top side of his face tucked near the nape of my neck. 

"You wouldn't wake up." 

"So you bite me?" I ask, unable to hide my amusement. 

"You can barely call it that," he mumbles into my skin. Sparks run along my skin, but I ignore it growing used to the feeling now.

"So what should I call it?"

"A love bite."

"A love bite?" I laugh.

"If I were to really bite you, it would hurt far worse than that."

"Somehow, I think you would enjoy it." 

That causes him to laugh and sit up. 

"Of course I would. I would be marking what's rightfully mine that should have never been taken from me in the first place." He stares down at me with those same blue eyes I had fallen in love with now threatening to devour me whole. "Is there something wrong with that?"

"No," I breathe which makes him smile. 

"Good, so you shouldn't complain when I do."

He gives me a light kiss and tries to back away, but I press for more loving the taste of his mouth and the many ways he would kiss me. His hands comb through my hair as he deepens it. I can feel his his chest press against mine as he breathes out into me. He stops for a moment trying to catch his breath. I take this chance to open my eyes a bit to get a look at him, but when I do a pair of blue slitted ones stares right back at me which makes my body grow hot. 

"I want to kiss your neck," he whispers. I can taste his breath how close he is to me. "But I can't...  no matter how tempting you are right now." He bites down on his lip and gets from over me. "We must go. Before they come. And they see you." 

Lance throws on a shirt and the rest of his clothes quickly causing a lapse with my mind and body. He can say such intimate words now when before he could hardly look me in the eyes without blushing. As he turns around, he catches me staring which causes him to smile and press a knee against the bed in between my legs. 

"Give me a kiss." 

"What?"

"For staring for so long. Give me a kiss." 

My cheeks start to flush red as he pecks my lips and smiles against my cheek.

"Nothing's free, you know. I come with a price."

That gets a laugh from me causing him to move away. I press him back against me until I have him over top of me with his lips covering mine. My arm wraps around his neck making sure he can't get away from me this time. I feel his laugh on my neck just as he tries to separate from me and I push him back down. 

"Seth, we really need to go. We have to get back. They are waiting for us." 

I wrap my arms around his back, keeping him put for some moments.
