Ending Link (Link Dane 2)

ELEVEN

ELEVEN

I wanted to laugh. I mean if any time called for it then surely this was it. Seeing him standing there in all his earnest I just couldn't hold it in. The laugh that rioted out of me was bellowing and I could see with the harsh glower on his face that nothing was funny to him.

I took in a deep breath after I somewhat contained my laugher. "You're crazy," I managed to wheeze out. 

He had his glower still trained on me when he replied. "I doubt that very much after watching you laugh like that." 

I rolled my eyes at him. "Oh you can't blame me. You made me laugh like that!"

Friends with benefits.

I couldn't even fully process his proposition. I was too stunned at his brash way of approaching me that I couldn't delve into it further. 

He took a moment to himself. "What's so funny about it anyways?"

I rolled my eyes at him. If he wanted me to clear it all for him then I guess I had to. "We're not friends." I reminded him. In the days we had encountered each other, there was no indication of friendship. Granted, the burning desire gnawing inside of me was still present - even now making itself known at the close proximity to Link. Yet, I couldn't take myself there. 

"Do you prefer the term fuck buddies then?" He drawled out, a slight glint appearing in his eyes. 

Witnessing that glint and watching him standing there waiting for an answer, I decided to just halt everything. The idea was absurd but the persistent ache was slowly becoming unbearable. If I just kept my distance from him, then I wouldn't want to capitulate towards my demanding feelings. It was like I was throwing my whole body into a raving tumble dryer, one minute hot and the next cold. And right now, I was forcing the ice cold to take over my body and freeze some sense into me.

I couldn't get involved with Link, even it if was strictly sex.  

I started to move back the way I came from. "Link I haven't got the time to entertain this. I got to go pick up Joy."

I should have known I wouldn't be able to leave so simply. This was Link we were speaking about. Most conversations were only done if he said so and right now, it was clear he wasn't done.

"You can pick her up after I'm done with you."

Hell no. "Excuse me?" 

He walked over. His strong, long legs carrying him the short distance between us two until he was right next to me. "I'm not," he paused to fully cancel out any space between us until he was pressed against my chest and I had to crane my neck all the way back just to see him all. "Done with you," he finished. The gulp that I heard myself make was embarrassing, even more so when I knew Link heard me.

There was nothing frightening about him right now. What was frightening was how he managed to flip everything into overdrive inside of me. I could feel every inch of him pressed close to me but I lost my ability to move. He felt good like this. Really good.

His hand shot out but then rested carefully between the nook of my neck and shoulder, his long fingers circled all the way to the back of my neck, capturing me further. Each of his finger tips were like a furnace against my bare skin.I wasn't paying any mind to his other hand until I felt my blouse ride up and just above my hips, I felt his hand there.

I sucked in deeply, causing my chest to heave upwards and flatten further against his chest. He shifted, moving his head down lower so his breath fanned my upper cheek. "I haven't got the time to entertain any of this either." His low voice was sensual to my ears and my eyelids lowered themselves on their own accord.
