Chapter 55: Yours

His hands held my face, rubbing his thumbs against my cheeks as he leaned down to kiss me, who was lying on the bed he laid me on.

I felt him push me a little from the edge for him to climb on the bed, without pulling away from the kiss. In a swift move, he was above me, one hand on my waist and the other holding him up as support.

My hands made their way up to his back and neck, then slowly sliding down to his chest. He wore a thin button-down shirt which allowed me to feel what was beneath it.

I had only ever seen his chest on several occasions where he would appear shirtless unannounced, but this was the first time I touched him there.

My fingers played with his collar and the buttons on his shirt, making him pause from the kiss and gasp for air, surely expecting more.

I pulled him back, raising my head a little, making sure his lips were fully on mine.

My hands, having minds of their own at that point, slowly unbuttoned his shirt as he leaned his body down just an inch apart from mine and made enough space for my hands to move in between.

His shirt hung loose, and open, then he gently slid it off.

My hands and lips travelled from his neck to his back to his chest.

Exploring the crevices that formed from the movement of his muscles as he inhaled and exhaled deeply.

My hair untied and pushed back, softly brushing on my goosebumps-covered skin.

I didn't notice how or when my top had been pulled over my head and pushed to the other side of the bed.

My head sunk into the pillow as his hands slid under to push my head back up.

I only realized the air suddenly grew warmer when we were under the thick blanket. His lips trailed away from mine, stroking and pecking my chin to my cheek, moving closer to my ear.

He whispered huskily with heavy breaths.

"When I said I'm keeping you tonight-"

Although his breath was warm, my ears shivered at his blow.

"-it means" he gave a sweet peck on my forehead.

"you're all mine-" he gave a quick peck on the tip of my nose.

"I'm all yours."

Right then and right there, he was all mine, and I was all his.
