SWEETEST FIRST KISS

[Ethan's POV]

I felt strong arms under my knees and my back, lifting me in a bridal style comfortably. With my half-conscious mind, I can feel that we are ascending up the stairs, going deeper and deeper into the hallway of the second floor of Shin's mansion, I guess. The one carrying me kick something and it slams open, maybe it's the door. My head was throbbing and the shaking isn't really helping me.

The arms let go of me slowly and my back hit something soft and silky. It's the bed. I was relieved that I can finally straighten my back and legs and arms. Then fall into a deep slumber again.

I slowly open my eyes when I feel something so soft against my lips. My eyes swung open when I see what was that. I blink a little more to clear my eyes from any obstruction. I averted my eyes to the owner of the thumb. Kinzy.

Instead of swatting it away from me, coz of the sensation it gives to me, I leaned to it like it was my lifeline. I can feel my heart slightly pounding like a mad man trying to escape from his prison. I tried to hold my breath and to suppress a sound I'm about to release from my throat.

"Ethan," and that send shiver to my spine. How could someone be possibly sounded like it was the heaven open its gate in triumph? Oh God. I'm so drunk.

"Ethan," he calls my name again.

"Ssshh," I say. What am I even saying? I'm so damn dead. Blame it to the alcohol. Blame it to the music they are playing that made my head spin. Blame it to my desire in feeling his hands all over my bare skin. "Shut up and kiss me," I swung my eyes open. Am I hearing myself right? Oh, I should clean my ears and I should clear my mind from the garbage I've been thinking.

He smile and moved closer to me. The smell of his perfume, sweat and alcohol blends so well that feels my nostril with so delicious smell that makes me want to eat him. Our noses touch and I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can't think straight. My heart beats like it was ready to stop anytime. I release breathe that I don't know I'm holding for too long.

He raise his hand and caress my cheek, damn it feels so good. I can die now, die happy coz he's touching me. I leaned into his touched and my eye lids become heavy and so I closed my eyes. He groups the other side of my cheek with his warm and soft palm.

When his lips touch mine, I swear I die for a millisecond and was revive to those soft lips of him. He gently brushed his lips against mine and it sends me into overdrive. His tongue was gently knocking and licking my bottom lip and I parted and open my mouth for him to enter me. His tongue was hot as he explores me and sucks my tongue every time he had a chance. I lay my back straight into the mattress as if my strength depends on it as Kinzy towers over me, though I can feel him still beside me.

"Kinzy," I call his name between the kisses and he stops kissing me, I'm breathless. I open my eyes when he abandoned my lips. My heart fell to the idea that he now realizes it was wrong. That what we do was wrong.

"Ethan," he said. I look into his eyes that were also staring at me. I swallow hard and prepare myself to whatever he will be saying to me, "I want you." That was beyond my comprehension at the very moment, to say that I was shocked is really an understatement. Those three words were enough for me to tremble underneath him.

Aiden McKinzy Ford wants me. Oh my God, should I be happy that someone like him wants me? Should I be thankful? But what if he was like those who said they want me too? I wanted to ask those things to him. But instead I say, "Kiss me." which I regretted afterwards, I want to but my body betrays me.
