Mia’s pov
As soon as the car pulled up at the house, I hastily alighted it with all my intent being fleeing away and hiding in my room till I recovered from what had been the best three seconds of my life. I was about to take the first stair leading upstairs when a hold settled on my wrist, causing me to freeze up because I knew even without having to turn around, that it was Lorenzo.
The sound of me gulping could definitely be heard outside from how loud it sounded as I slowly turned around till I was staring up at Lorenzo. I was in a pair of sneakers this time which left a lot of height difference between us this way. Right now, he towered over me even more, and whereas I was supposed to be scared shitless right now, all that was going through my mind right now was that three seconds kiss which took place about thirty minutes ago in his car.
I gulped once again and forced my mouth to move.
“Uh… hi.” I whispered.
If Lorenzo found me funny right now, it wasn’t all that obvious, except for the slight lift of his lips as he took a step closer to me, and another, and another. I was about to take one more step away from him but then his hand reached out and buried in the back of my hair and my neck, automatically halting my retreating steps. My lips parted but nothing came forth as he took one step closer to me, which was all the gap separating us. Only a breath was separating our lips right now, and that sent a rush of desire throughout every bit of me.
I couldn’t properly think right now due to the extremely close proximity, along with the fact that it was clear that he wanted to kiss me, and I do want him to kiss me… so badly.
“You were going somewhere?” He whispered and my eyes fluttered for a moment. His voice was so low right now and the fact that our chests were currently pressed against each other’s right now meant that I could feel each vibrations in his chest before the words traveled up his lungs, and that made me feel so damn heady.
“I… I wasn’t.” I whispered, and my lips slightly brushed against it each time I moved my lips, that was our close we currently are.
“You sure about that?” He continued, a grin spreading out on his face this time. I nodded my head in response as his second hand moved up to settle on my waist this time which he used to jerk me even forward and if there was still any breath left in me, that last move was all it took for the rest of the sir to be shoved out of my lungs on a shaky exhale. Clearly enjoying the effect he was having on me, his grin widened even more as his eyes raked every inch of my face.
“So, you aren’t gonna try running away when they try to kiss you right now, hm?” He continued and for a moment, I thought I had heard wrong and was hearing things, but when he clicked his tongue, clearly waiting for my response, I realized that this was indeed happening.
“I… I wouldn’t.” I whispered while my eyelids fluttered for a few moments.
When he lowered his head and closed the distance between us, my eyes automatically fell close right before his lips connected with mine. The kiss was light, almost featherlight like the three seconds kiss we shared in the car. It made my heart hammer sharply against the sides of my ribs as numerous feelings coursed through my veins at once. When our lips separated, a few seconds passed before I blinked my eyes open, and when our eyes met, there was a darkness brewing inside of his eyes. The darkened haze only seemed to thicken as soon as he glanced down at my lips for a fleeting second.
The hand he had around my bare waist moved upwards till he was gripping my chin, and a shaky breath tumbled out of my lips when his thumb grazed my bottom lip, right before he tugged on the space underneath my bottom lip. Somehow, that made my lips get parted, and my tongue peaked out for a moment as I blinked up at him.
When he leaned down once again, my eyes felt close before his lips connected with mine, only that this time, the kiss wasn’t featherlight in any way, instead, it was the complete opposite.
He licked right into my mouth, tongue sliding right in and a whimper bubbled in my throat at once. A tremor wrecked through my limbs and my hands moved up to grip his arms before it felt like my world was being turned upside down. He sucked on my bottom lip and a breathless sound filtered past my lips, an embarrassingly loud sound which he swallowed instantly as he tongued my mouth thoroughly. I couldn’t breathe, not that I needed to, because this kiss was all I needed and nothing more. When his grip tightened in my hair, a whine bubbled in my throat and then when he tugged on the roots my hair, a hot rush of heat glazed right from the roots of my hair, all the way to the bottom of my feet, and it felt like every inch of my body was going up in flames. When he bit on my bottom lip, a shaky sound tumbled past my lips as my eyes slowly fluttered open.
I was panting hard and so was he. Our eyes were locked for a couple of moments before he let out a curse in a low whisper.
“Fucking hell.”
His thumb grazed my bottom lip once again before he slowly untangled his hand from my hair and took a step back, and that was when I was finally able to properly breathe again.
That night, as I slept, I had a very vivid dream of Lorenzo kissing and kissing me till I couldn’t even remember my own name.
