Bewitched Hearts

15. I've been Naive

As they stood staring into the eyes of each other, they couldn't help but wonder what had just happened. They felt so dazed and overpowered by an unknown emotion. They were eyeing each other as if they were looking into each others soul. The situation was something they both hadn't pictured themselves to be in. But now that they had experienced the kiss, it had awoken so many emotions that they tried to bury deep inside them.

Damien had an unreadable expression plastered on his face. It was like he was biased about what happened.
Danny just stood shell shocked, too startled to even comprehend anything.
She couldn't tell what Damien felt on the inside. It looked like he was curbing himself from doing something he wouldn't usually do.

Danny was stunned at herself, at the sensation that was overpowering her consciousness, at the enticing flavour of the foreign lips she found herself longing for.

Danny felt giddy. She felt her stomach do somersaults. She felt her brain race with questions she didn't have answers to. However, even after so much tension between them, so much uncertainness between them, Danny somehow felt protected.
The way Damien held her close to him, it gave her some kind of comfort and warmth that she never felt before in her life.

It took a split second for her to give into them again, so before she could comprehend anything, any further, she leapt forward and pressed her lips to his again.

Damien stumbled behind a little at the sudden movement but quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly to balance both of them.

Damien's breath was snatched out of him when she crashed her lips against his.
Her hands came to his neck to pull him closer, snapping him out of his surprise.

He blinked in disbelief before he allowed himself to close his eyes to feel the kiss.

Unlike the kiss before, this one started with a lot more urgency and rush. It was as if they both needed their hands on each other. They kissed each other like crazy as if their lives depended on it.

He slipped his tongue inside her mouth, gently but in a demanding manner and once again it was like a new experience. It was like something she had never felt before. Her hands went into his hair and pulled even closer.
Her veins throbbed and her heart exploded all over again.

Gradually, his lips parted from hers and he slowly started to kiss her jaw. One kiss at a time. He traced feather kisses all over her jaw before he worked his way towards her neck. Damien could feel the erratic pulse on his lips which made him smirk. Just then he felt Danny suppress a moan of pleasure from the back of her throat. He somehow felt victorious. Danny bit her lower lip hard as she bent her head back to give him more access.
There was a certain kind of satisfaction he felt as he kissed his way to back to her lips.

Suddenly common sense barged into Damien's brain and he backed away from Danny a little and made space between them. He looked down at his feet. He couldn't get himself to look into her eyes. He knew if he did, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from going close to her again. So he did something he thought was the best for both of them.

He walked away.

He walked past her and out of the room in an instant without as much as a second glance.

He needed to shower. A cold one at that.

Danny stood in the middle of her room, alone, flustered and all heated up. She stared ahead out of the window at the dark sky which was lit with the moonlight.

What just happened?

She walked towards the bed and fell on to it. She couldn't decipher anything. Her mind was too fogged up to even think straight. She brought her hands up to her lips and touched them lightly. She could still feel the warmth and wetness settled on her lips which only made her mind go bonkers.
