LOOK AFTER YOU

5

I was stunned into silence, I chuckled nervously but stopped when he didn't join me. I was pretty sure this was a joke.

"I love this song," I mumbled, Look After You was playing through the earphones and I was trying to avoid having to answer.

"I love it too, but we both know you're being a wuss right now. I'm offering you the chance to do twenty of the things you haven't done before. And you're not even considering it." He said after a while.

I groaned, "But, it doesn't make sense, like... I don't even understand what you're offering." I said tugging at my hair.

"Leigh..." he deadpanned, he sighed before continuing.

"We'll do the do-able things together and well, the things you don't want to do with me, we'll find a way to make them happen. It's simple."

I was silent for a while, Look After You started again and I noticed Kylian must have put it on repeat. "The music makes this weird cause like, if this was a movie or something I'd have to kiss you right now." I chuckled.

When he didn't join in I turned my head to look at him,

"Item number 6, you've never been kissed." He said, his eyes were locked on mine and I could feel my heart start a foreign fluttering in my chest. Which was stupid because nothing was gonna happen...

Nothing was gonna happen.

Nothing is gonna...

I let out a strangled gasped when Kylian rolled over so he was on top of me, he paused for a moment staring into my eyes.

My eyes widened as I tried to make sense of what he was doing. I felt his hand circle around my back before he rolled, pulling me with him so I ended up on top, my pulse fluttered wildly in my neck.
I could feel my heart pounding in my chest so fast I was pretty sure my ribs would be bruised if I didn't calm down.

Kylian was still studying my face and it occurred to me that he was giving me time to protest... to say no.

My throat was impossibly dry, and my palms were getting sweaty.

Kylian sat up slowly so that I was now straddling him. My eyes fluttered closed for a while before I opened them again, his gaze hadn't left my face, some really dumb part of me wondered if he had blinked since all this started.

I opened my mouth to say something but I clamped it shut again. I felt hands grip my waist, they were warm and the longer they stayed there the more it felt like it was burning into me. Just like his gaze. I was screaming internally,

Do something!

Say no!

Say yes!

Faint...

Breathe for Christ's sake.

I forced my lungs to accept air.

"I'm going to kiss you now okay?" Kylian said.
His voice was soft, like somehow he knew how fragile this moment was.

I nodded, absently. My brain was struggling to process what was happening.

His other hand came up to graze my cheek, they warm enough to send tingles through my body. I could feel my eyes fluttering closed again, my whole body felt heavy and light at the same time, I sucked in a lungful of air.

Some part of me tuned back into the song that was still on repeat in my ear, I idly wondered how the earbuds haven't fallen out yet.

He leaned in to me, eyes still locked on mine, my tongue darted out to my lip nervously, the closer he came towards me the more the pounding in my chest increased. My hand reached up to grab his wrist, I don't know if I intended to pull his hands away or if I just wanted something to hold onto. I couldn't decide, I didn't get the time...

His lips were on mine.

They were soft and he gently moved them against mine in feather like brushes.

I wasn't having any of this.

I leaned into him, pressing my lips firmly against his. He took the hint and he began kissing me properly, his lips moving against mine in slow deliberate motions. I always read books where the characters said they felt like they were floating, or there were stars or something like that. I didn't feel any of that.

I felt like I was being electrocuted and it felt good. Tingles were running along my nerves and lighting them on fire.

He pulled back slowly. When my eyes fluttered open I saw him looking at me with wide eyes. My heart was pounding loudly in my ears and I was fighting to get air in my lungs.

I blinked once, then twice.

I opened my mouth to say something, because the silence was getting too much, the awkward in me was getting ready to fill it with word vomit, or worse...real vomit.

Kylian used his hand on my cheek to circle around my neck slowly, my breath hitched, I had to clamp my mouth shut. He pulled me to him kissing me again.

This time I remembered to breathe. My hands found themselves in his hair, gripping the soft strands in my hand as I pushed my body closer to his only stopping when my chest was flushed against his. The electricity from before was crackling in my ears, every move of his lips against mine amplified the current deliciously.

I felt like I was a magnet that was impossibly drawn to him. Wanting to be as close as possible, I was powerless over half the things my body was doing. And at the same time I felt powerful. I foreign sound rumbled in my throat, to my ears it sounded like a moan, but I couldn't tell. Everything was muffled.

Except that gasp.

The gasp that didn't belong to either of us, I pulled away from Kylian, turning towards the door where an angry Anne, stood glaring at us, she flashed me a look of disgust.

Katherine was asleep in her arms, Thank God. But the woman looked like she was barely containing her fury. "Anne, I'm s-s0...oh my God." My hands found themselves in my hair and I tugged. I was aware that Kylian was saying something but I couldn't understand what.

This can't be happening.
