Amor

~Chapter 40~

Hey! In case you didn't already know, I just came out with a new book called Intricacy (see photo to check out the cover!) There's currently three chapters posted if you want to go read it :)

Butterflies swarmed around in my tummy and I felt like I couldn't breathe for a moment as Donovan gripped my waist and kissed me slowly. I really don't know what came over me when I boldly moved to straddle him. I didn't even think twice about it actually, just let my body take charge and went with it.

For a second, in a moment of hesitation, I thought about pulling away thinking that he didn't want me. But of course he noticed this and pulled me closer instead, our chests touching and causing my heartbeat to pick up. This level of intimacy is an untouched territory for me so I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

Bringing my hand up to the back of his neck, I run my fingers through his hair lightly. My mind wanders to this one chapter from a book I read a while ago where the girl tugs on her lovers hair to get him excited. At the time, I thought it was so weird how hair pulling can be attractive to guys, but figuring I could test it out, I add pressure to my hold on his blonde curls. The action earned me a moan to fall from his lips, the sound making me smile a little in between kisses.

Thank you literature.

Moving down my jaw and stopping at my neck, he spoils me by lightly biting down on the tender skin and licking it afterwards. Feeling overwhelmed from the sensation, I pause my movements and take a second to breathe. Bringing one of his hands to grip my butt, he meets my gaze with such intensity that I almost believed he was angry if not for the squeeze he leaves on my behind.

"Do that again" he demands, referring to the hair pulling.

About to follow through on his wish, a knock on the window next to my head interrupts the moment. I quickly climb off Donnie's lap and sit beside him just in time cause a second later, Oliver opens the backseat door with Nathan glancing at us suspiciously behind him. Sneaking a peek at Donovan's expression, I see that he's trying to hide a smile as he licks his bottom lip in attempt to subtly wipe off my strawberry flavored chapstick.

"Everything okay in here?" Oliver looks between the two of us with concern pooling in his eyes. "Soph, you alright? You had us really worried."

Clearing my throat, I apologize in the calmest voice I could possibly manage at an awkward situation like this. "I'm okay, sorry for the trouble."

Alright, they definitely can see that I'm blushing right now after Donnie's actions. Oliver's concern changes to one of silent understanding at what the two of us were doing just a moment ago. I can also hear Nate chuckle quietly from his spot beside Olly. Feeling my face heat up even more, I look down at my hands and start trying to crack my fingers nervously. At the second pop of my bones, Donovan takes one of my hands in his palm and kisses my knuckles. Even though I know he did that to get me to stop, the butterflies in my tummy are prominent.

He helped get the attention off of me by starting up a conversation with the guys, thankfully. I couldn't hide my blushing even if I wanted to. I'm a very easy person to read.

"Did anybody try to start something?" he asks, rubbing his thumb on the back of my hand comfortingly.

The boys' expressions go back to normal and Nathan leans against the side of the car as Oliver opens the door wider to make more space. "No we managed to clear it up and send them away. Besides from a couple strange glances, we're good" he confirms.

"Thank god. The last thing we need is getting the cops called on us for a misunderstanding and busting this place down for good too."

There's a hum of agreement followed by a short moment of silence where the boys are busy thinking of something. Probably the sad idea of then not being able to race anymore if the police ever find out. "Anyways, should we head outta here?" Donnie asks, cutting the tension.
