UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING
"I've been trying not to do this" he whispers, his voice rough and low.
"So stop trying" I whisper back.
And then he kisses me.
His lips are soft but insistent, coaxing mine open, pulling me deeper into him.
One of his hands tangles in my damp hair, his fingers threading through the strands, tilting my head back slightly so he can kiss me the way he wants to.
The other hand stays at the small of my back, his palm splayed wide, anchoring me against him.
Chest to chest.
Heartbeat to heartbeat.
I lose all sense of time.
All I know is the way his mouth moves against mine, the way his body curves into mine like it's always known the shape of me.
The way his thumb traces lazy circles along my spine, sending shivers racing through my entire body.
I kiss him back with everything I have, my hands fisting in the fabric of his shirt, pulling him closer, needing him closer.
"This kiss just sealed the deal. You're mine and only mine now, Grace" Benjamin's voice is low and rough like gravel and laced with something primal.
I stop breathing. The air thickens, electric and heavy like the sky before a storm breaks. Everything stills, but the static between us crackles like it's seconds from combusting.
His breath fans across my lips - close, so close - but still not touching.
My heart slams against my ribs, erratic and loud, like it's trying to break free from my chest. Then his hand finds my jaw.
"I..." The word is a whisper, barely there, shaky and useless. I can't finish it.
His nose brushes mine in the softest graze, but there's nothing innocent about the way he's looking at me.
