Xavier

41

(Luna's POV)

I carefully sat my mug down on the coffee table without removing my eyes from the tv. Hazel Grace and Augustus were finally boarding the plane to Amsterdam. We were nearing my favorite part of the movie.

Nearly the entire time we've been watching this though, I could feel Xaviers eyes on me. Out of my peripheral I'd see him look at the tv for a little bit but his gaze always made its way back to me. He was making me anxious. I talked big about this movie, did he not like it?

I shifted in my seat again this time to reach into my bag and grab my hair clip. I was starting to feel hot because he kept looking at me and the feeling of my hair on my back and neck wasn't making it any better.

I lifted my hair and twisted it a bit before putting my claw clip in to set it in place I pushed the few fly aways out of my face and let the blanket sit on top of my lap.

When he looked down at his lap and then at me that's when I decided to finally ask. "Do you like it so far?"

"Yeah it's good." He replied while nodding his head. "Okay I just couldn't tell. You seem a little distracted." I mumbled.

"My mind just keeps wandering."

I nodded silently. A minute passed before I dug into my bag again and pulled out a clean penny. I held it in my palm and extended it toward him. "Penny for your thoughts?"

He stared at my palm then at me before He chuckled and shook his head. "I honestly don't know if I should make that exchange." He replied seriously when he sobered from his laughter.

I tilted my head slightly as I looked at him. "Why not?"

"They would complicate things..."

I looked him in his eyes and furrowed my eyebrows. "I'm sure they won't. I don't even know what could be made complicated." I shrugged. I'm invested now.

"My thoughts would complicate things between us."

My eyes widened for a split second before I Straightened my back a bit. "Im invested, Now I have to know."

He took a moment to chuckle before he wiped his hand down his face. "My mind is occupied by you. You're distracting."

I hadn't even done anything. "And frankly, I find you far more interesting to watch than this. It's good but you...you are enticing."

All I could do is blink. I didn't even know how to process what he just said or what it even meant. "I dont...i don't think i understand."

"I can't focus on anything else besides you. You have my full attention even when you don't ask for it. It's something about how your nose crinkles a little bit when you smile at Hazel and Augustus... Something about the way your skin glows that just makes me drawn to you. This is far from appropriate but my self control is waning."

I was stunned but I wasn't uncomfortable. I just couldn't believe that he was speaking to me like this. I couldn't believe that he paid attention to me like that. Was my one sided crush not as one sided as i convinced myself it was?

"What else do you think about?" I dared to ask. He wasn't far to begin with but right now he seemed closer. the smell of his cologne was acting as a potion that reeled me in. "Your eyes, your smile, your curls, your curves, your lips...I think about you, so much that it drives me crazy."

He subtly moved closer and I made no objections because now more than ever I wanted him to touch me. "I think about being able to touch you. And I wonder all the time if you think about me as much as I think about you."

Our thighs were touching and Itched to reach out to touch him. But I didn't have to yearn for the feeling of his hands on me because made the first move by slowing dragging the tip of his finger up my arm. A shiver was sent down my spine and I sighed. "I do."

My voice came out as a whisper. He placed his hand to the side of my face and I reached up and held onto it, keeping it in place. "I want you, so badly." He mumbled as he leaned closer.

"So tell me, do you want me as badly as I want you?"

My eyes settled onto his and I nodded because i didn't trust that my words wouldn't come out stuttered. "Use your words love." He replied. His tone was soft but he was demanding. "I do."

He leaned in closer so that I could feel his breath fanning my face. So close I could nearly taste him. "Can I..."

I nodded softly as I searched his eyes. A smirk spread onto his lips as he leaned closer. He stopped when we were about 3 centimeters apart and for some reason I could tell that he was still holding back. Probably waiting to see if i'd back out. But I decided to take the next step and I pressed my lips against his.

It was slow and tender at first with just the right amount of force. He pulled back slightly before came back in for more. This time the hand on my cheek moved and he now had his hand loosely around my neck. He effectively deepened the kiss and when he squeezed my neck ever so slightly I let out a soft gasp. He sucked up the sound and I felt myself being pulled over until I was on his lap.

He nibbled gently on my bottom lip before he sucked softly on my tongue. I unconsciously rocked my hips slightly and he groaned.

His hands made it to my hips and he held me in place. His lips moved away from mine and trailed down my neck leaving kisses on both sides before he settled on sucking on the skin just below my ear. One of my hands tangled in the hair at the nape of his neck and my other hand was placed on the back of the couch. "We shouldn't be doing this." I whispered as he kissed my collar bone.

"Do you want me to stop?"

I looked down at him with lustful eyes. He stared back at me with the same expression. "No."
