Let Yourself Fall // sequel to My Ethan Karpathy

Chapter 75.

PAISLEYS POV:

I wake up in Ethan's arms for the first time in a week. He notices I'm awake and pulls me into him tighter. He has one arm around my waist and one hand behind my neck. He kisses my head and strokes my hair with his thumb. We stay like that for a few minutes until my hip starts to hurt. I go to turn over, but Ethan lifts me up and drags me on top of him. I drop Ethan's shirt off the side of the bed by accident, I'll get that later. His bare chest feels warm and comforting on my skin. I rest my chin on my hands as he stares down his chest at me. He brushes the back of his fingers across my forehead as he removes a strand of hair from my eyes. His touch still sends shivers down me. He still has that same affect on me.

"God, you even smell beautiful." he whispers, smiling and even blushing at me a little.

"You don't know how lucky I feel to have you." I reply, resting my elbows on the bed and holding my head up with my hands. The area of my body above my waist sort of hovers over him so he can talk to me without hurting his neck. The rest of my body just rests on his.

"Do you know what I would be without you?" He asks, grabbing my hips and dragging me into a half sitting position with my legs straddling him.

"I don't know, you tell me." I reply, drawing a line down his chest with my finger.

"Go outside and play in the snow." he tells me, placing his hands on the back of my thighs and rubbing small circles with his thumbs.

"But there's no snow?" I ask, confused.

"Exactly. That's what I would be without you.. Nothing." he replies. I should've seen that one coming. That was a weird twist.

"You have no idea how much I love you right now." i whisper as he sits up to meet my eye level. I take the opportunity to look him up and down, those abs are still there and as sexy as ever.

"You have no idea how much I want you right now." he says, raising his eyebrows a bit. My knees are still gripping his waist from how I was straddling him, and his hands are still on my thighs, but his thumbs are slowly moving their circles closer to the inside of my legs. I know where he's trying to go.

"There's so many beautiful reasons for me to be happy, but you're the only one I really care about." I say, waiting for him to make the first move.

Suddenly, he kisses my neck, his lips attacking at my skin, making this familiar, beautiful sensation run through my veins. He makes his way down my neck and along my collarbone, making me want him even more. He kisses everywhere, everywhere except my lips. He's teasing me on purpose and it's driving me crazy. I can feel him smirking this massive smirk as he continues down my collarbone again.

"Ethan, stop." I whisper-laugh.

"Aww, I'm having fun" he replies, his smirk only getting bigger. I remember then that Jai is only a few metres away. I grab his chin in my hand and hold it still to look him in the eyes. I try to give him a cheeky, revenge filled stare as he continues smirking in my grip.

I kiss next to his mouth, then the other side. I kiss his nose, forehead and cheeks. I leave a trail of marks down his neck and I can tell he's trying hard not to show he's enjoying this. I know he's turned on right now, but there's no way I'm letting him get out of this one so easily. Not after what he just put me through. I shift back and lay him back down. I place kisses right down his stomach and stop about five centimetres from the top of his shorts. I can hear his breathing get heavier- he's trying to control himself. I kiss back up his stomach and up his neck to his cheeks.

"Ugh, stop! You win!" He finally gives in.

"Shut up! Jai's gonna wake up." I tell him, slapping his arm gently.
