Chapter 31: Hearts Beating As One

Chapter 31
Hearts Beating As One

"Lilith knows," he says as he tucks a strand of my hair beneath my ear. The gesture makes me flush, and I turn to hide my face. I can feel him smirking. My brows furrowed, and then I turn to look at him again. And I'm right, I'm currently looking at his smirking face and I resist the urge to roll my eyes.

"What do you mean "Lilith knows,"?" I ask, arching a brow at him while still trying to hide the blush that is surely still on my cheeks.

Dale gently places the back of his hand across my cheek, and I see the way his eyes twinkle, the way happiness swim in his beautiful brown eyes. "Lilith knows that I'm into you. I tried things with her, tried to be into her, but I just couldn't. She knows that I'm into you. Lilith kept telling me to try things with you. There was one time she cursed me because I wasn't listening to her and I'd just make my life miserable. And she's right. My life was miserable without you, and it felt like I was slipping, falling into a void and I was scared. I told her not to say anything to you because I didn't want you to find out because I wasn't sure. I mean, I was sure of my feelings for you but I wasn't sure of myself if I could do this, if I could accept myself. But then... Dustin came into your life... and I was so jealous."

Just hearing his confession makes me want to bawl my eyes out from happiness. "Dustin and I were –"

"Is Dustin still hitting on you?" He asks me, his tone becomes panicky, and jealousy swims in his breathtaking brown eyes. "Is he? I want to know if he is. Because what if... what if..." He's on full panic mode now.

Cupping his face, staring deeply into his eyes, I give him a smile and lean down, the tip of our nose touching and lips centimeters away. "Hey. Dustin's not hitting on me. Plus, didn't I tell you I love you? I could say it a million times just for you to believe me."

He sighs in relief and gives me a peck on the lips, then beams brightly, the one that could light up the whole time. I miss that smile of his. Dale shakes his head and wraps his arms around me, kissing my forehead and the whole time I'm with him, my heart continues to beat faster. Sooner or later, I have this feeling that my heart would just burst out of my chest and start running around. "No need for you to say that a million times. I can hear and feel and see that you love me, and I wish you feel the same –"

I put a finger over his lips, stopping him from rambling. I smile happily. "I do,"

And it's true. Even though he doesn't speak the words, I can hear it the way his heart thumps loudly against his ribcage; I can see it when he looks at me; I can feel it when he's around me. It's enough proof he really loves me. Dale turns us around, straddling me and I feel the heat rush up to my neck and cheeks. I wiggle, trying to get him off of me but he pins me down, holding my arms in one hand and the way he smirks at me wakes something inside me. His other hand freely roams my body, touching and pinching every inch of my skin, making me moan out loud. He smirks at me.

"W-w-what are you doing?" I pant, blood rushing down to my groin, waking my mini-me.

Leaning down, torturing me, he leans down, his breath fanning my neck. "I need you; I want you." He whispers huskily and hotly in my ear, making a shiver run down my spine. Then he begins to nip at my skin on the neck, making me a writhing mess beneath him. "I like you being underneath me." I throw a curse at him, which makes him chuckle and then he continues to plant kisses all over my skin around my neck, down to my collarbone.

"Um... ah, you don't... are you... you're not prepared." I manage to say weakly.

He tips his head up, looking at me through his lashes and he shakes his head. "I'm ready. I want to do this with you. Don't you want this?" He furrows his brows in confusion. I want to say how cute he looks when he does that, but then he dips his head down and continue to suck on my collarbone. I shake my head, though he doesn't see me doing so. "You'd stop me if you don't want to do this, right?" I nod, shutting my eyes. And I don't want him to stop. I want him to continue what he's doing to me.
