My brain hazed at that moment and I wasn’t sure what to do next. The heat that washed through me desired for more, but the intensity of the tingles seemed to have short-circuited my mind. I wasn’t able to think clearly enough to figure out what compelled me into this, however, the way it tickled my insides had me elated.
I felt his hold over my hand tighten and he leaned closer, applying a bit more pressure that made the feelings a thousand times worse.
We remained close as I slowly trailed my fingers down his jaw, past his neck, then stopped over his chest to feel if his heart was beating as fast as mine. It wasn’t, but it was still rapid, making me claw at the thin shirt over his chest.
My entire body felt strange, nearly numb, to the point I almost didn’t notice the light contact of his lips disappear until I felt his forehead against mine. The tips of our noses grazed and he brought his hand to my cheek, causing me to open my eyes and stare into his.
Neither of us spoke while we got lost in each other’s eyes as if we were brainwashed, no emotion played on his features nor mine due to the paralysis we seemed to share.
The feelings I received from the kiss were the best I’ve ever felt, and they were so good that my lips are still tingling.
Before I had time to process any thoughts, I tilted my head up and closed my eyes at the exact time he leaned back in, reconnecting our lips and triggering the elated feelings to explode within me just as it did the first time.
Why do I like him so much already ?
Never-well, at least not anytime soon, she replied, setting her gaze on me, but enough about that, I want to hear what Angel did last night, she smirked, no more saved by the bell moments !
She isn’t telling you either ? Danny exhaled in exasperation, Axel wasn’t saying a word about it, Blaine and I failed miserably trying to get it out of him.
My lungs felt like they were shrinking and I lowered my eyes to the table, those specific seven words locking into my brain.
Does he not want anyone to know ?
Is he ashamed ?
What is going on here ?
The sound of Axel’s voice made me melt in my seat, causing me to lift my head and stare in the direction from which it came to see him standing alongside Blaine next to the doorway.
I noticed Danny and Gabbie went tense while Blaine came right over to Whitney, ignoring everyone else’s existence and draping his arms over her shoulders. She looked up at him, her head pressing into his abdomen, and he looked down at her, sharing her loving smile.
I was so awed by the couple next to me that I didn’t realize Axel moved until I felt hands slide over my waist from behind.
A huge smile found my lips and I leaned back, closing my eyes when I felt the heat escape through his clothes and soak into my back. His scent engulfed me and I moved my hands down to his, feeling his fingers spread which allowed mine to slip between and hook onto his rough palms. My thumb wrapped around to the best of its ability and hooked onto the area between his thumb and index finger, my hand not being big enough to hold onto the top of his.
Are they bothering you ? He asked and I felt his gaze peering down at me, however, I kept my eyes closed and shook my head against his abdomen.
We should have a movie night ! Whitney suddenly beamed, startling me from my relaxed position and forcing me upright, squeezing tighter onto his hands while slightly trembling.
I continue to get antsy when someone raises their voice.
I hate how her actions still affect me.
We ? He asked, his tone short and distasteful, which surprised me. He’s never spoken to me in such a harsh manner, in fact, I forgot he even had that side to him. I’m only reminded when we’re around the others.
But I like it.
I noticed everyone flinched and I leaned further into him, feeling his arms tighten around me and his fingers lay over mine as he squeezed my them, caressing my thumbs with his.
Yes ! We never finished our horror movie last night because Blaine decided to scare us, she shot her mate a look and he shook his head, widening his eyes with a scoff.
No, that’s not fair ! Don’t come at me like I’m the dickhead ! Angel was the one who punched me in the face. I’m a victim ! He said, making Gabbie and Whitney grin as everyone turned to stare at me.
Woah, what ? Axel asked, obviously thinking Blaine’s statement was absurd due to the amusement that laced his words. I looked up at him with a blush, seeing he had an eyebrow raised with a look of disbelief.
She gave him a bloody nose, Gabbie laughed and Whitney hummed in agreement.
He leaned down and squeezed me impossibly closer, adjusting his stance and inhaling my scent as his cheek pressed against mine before turning and giving me a small kiss.
That’s sexy, he complimented in a low, almost whispered, tone, and I suddenly felt hyperaware of the way his hands felt resting over my thighs.
My heartbeat fastened and I fidgeted my legs a bit in attempt to ease the amount of sensitivity they had, turning my head to look at him yet inhaling sharply with parted lips upon feeling our noses brush across one another.
I want to kiss him again.
I’ve been craving it since last time.
His lips are poison.
Just as I was going to force myself to turn away and control myself, he closed the distance and fed my growing addiction. Tingles weaved down the bones in my spine and made me shiver, clenching onto his hands and squeezing my legs together to stop the unusual, but familiar, ache between them.
I think we have our answer, my friends, Blaine cleared his throat and he pulled away from me, letting the cold air take his place on my lips. We looked at the audience ahead of us, everyone staring with agape mouths and wide eyes.
I felt an overwhelming amount of pride and satisfaction because of it.
I just kissed a hot man.
Actually, a hot man just kissed me.
Even better.
Although, my happiness was quickly diminished when a wave of heat hit me like a kick in the gut, forcing a wince to leave my throat and I clutched onto his hands as tight as possible.
Angel ? He asked, but all I could do was whimper while a cold sweat began to overtake my body. Everyone was saying things but their words were indecipherable to me.
