Adams’ POV
Since I saw the note, I had not been myself. All I could think of was what Ben was planning again.
Was he involved in tonight’s attack? The leader of the attackers seemed to know me too well.
Lilith had her bath and changed into a free, semi-transparent white nightgown, while I went in to take mine.
I sank into the bathtub slowly as the cold water hit my skin, numbing my senses for a second.
My eyes grew heavy as though stones were placed on them, causing me to shut them and dive into a replay of the day’s memories.
How long I was there I couldn’t tell. My eyes shot open, however, when my memories got to the part where Lilith had been embarrassed to see me naked.
I came out of the water immediately and wrapped a towel around my hips, as the water tickled down my body.
When I came out of the bathroom, everywhere was dark except a small light from a corner of the room.
I turned to face the light and I saw Lilith’s figure, sitting before the mirror, combing her hair, with her thigh exposed.
Her skin shone brightly under the influence of the candlestick on the table before her. At that moment, it looked as if she was trying to seduce me, even without doing anything.
The beautiful rays of the candlelight were shining on her face, showing the elegant curves on her cheeks, and making her lips more inviting.
“You must have fallen asleep in there,” she teased. “Do you want to talk about tonight?” she whispered in a soothing voice which swayed into my ears and settled in the depths of my heart, without looking away from the mirror.
“What is there to talk about?” I asked in a low voice, not taking my eyes off her body.
She stopped brushing her hair and stole a quick glance at me. “The strange men who attacked us, you acting strange since we came back and saw the note Ben left behind, and there’s also us.”
Her voice was strained, as though a heavy weight was placed upon it.
I really didn’t want to talk about all that happened tonight, but knowing Lilith, there’s no way she’s letting it slide.
“There’s nothing to talk about, Lilith, and what’s with the… Us?” I asked, walking towards her.
I stood behind her and placed my hands gently on her shoulders, staring at our reflection in the mirror.
A smile crept on my face as her eyes widened, and I felt her freeze under my touch.
Moving my hands gently on her shoulder, I trailed the delicate curves of her neck. My fingers danced across her skin in the most romantic way and I could feel her loosen up under my touch.
“Well… I don’t know, we haven’t really been… you know… intimate.” Her cheeks turned bright pink.
She turned around, and my gaze met hers. All I saw in her crystal blue eyes was a burning desire that seemed to whisper “I want you.”
“If… if you want me, then… I’m ready,” she said silently.
I stared in awe at this woman before me. Was she pulling my legs?
“Lilith, I know you were embarrassed about today, but it’s fine. If you are not ready, then there’s no reason to be…”
“But I am, Adams. I am ready,” she interrupted. “I think it is high time I sealed my place in your heart forever, and seal yours in mine.”
She stood up, staring directly into my eyes. I could hear her heart beat slowly, and her breathing was unsteady.
Without saying anything further, she placed her lips on mine. And then, it dawned on me that I had been so hungry for her touch.
Ted danced crazily inside me, on the verge of coming out.
I grabbed her lips, dipping my tongue in the hidden places in her mouth till she moaned out of pleasure.
She broke away to catch her breath, but Ted had already fueled my body with so much passion, I held the back of her head and deepened the kiss even more.
Eventually, she broke the kiss and stared at me. “If you are ready to make me yours Adams, then I’m ready to be yours.”
I grabbed her behind her waist and planted kisses down her neck. She bent her head backwards, closing her eyes, lost in the feeling my lips brought to her body.
I detached from her, and she flung her eyes open in haste. “Why did you stop?”
“I didn’t.”
“But…”
“Shhh,” I whispered, putting my hands on her lips. “Come.” I held her hands and moved backwards to the bed.
The moment my legs felt the wooden frame which carried the mattress, I let go of her hands and sat down.
She stared at me with raised eyebrows and lips which formed an ‘o’ shape. She tilted her head forward and made to speak, but I turned my head from side to side, raising my hands to her lips.
As desperate as I was to claim her and do all kinds of wickedly, sinful things to her, I didn’t want to rush but rather, savor the moment.
I took her hands again but this time, put them on my shoulders. She blushed, as her cheeks became bright pink again and her eyes were clouded with passion.
“Show me what you’ve got, Lilith,” I whispered in the most tempting voice I could.
I followed her eyes as she surveyed my upper body, I heard her heart pounding as though it would force itself out of her chest.
She removed her hands from my chest and hesitated to do anything. So I took them, and placed them on my chest.
She gasped silently as her eyes widened quickly. She moved her hands slowly down my chest, grazing my nipple with her thumb.
She moved to my stomach, then up my chest again.
As she moved her hands about my body, all I saw was admiration. She went on her knees and my heart skipped a beat as I wondered what it was she planned to do.
She moved closer to me, and took my hands, placing them on her waist behind, before planting a soft kiss on my lips.
I wanted to kiss her back, but she removed her lips and whispered, “don’t.”
I refrained and closed my eyes as she kissed me softly, taunting me with her lips sporadically.
Then she saw that my patience was running thin, she stopped, and her lips curved into a weird smirk.
She took my hands again and placed them on either side of me, on the bed, and put hers on them.
“This is going to hurt,” she whispered, making me smile. I was used to pain. What could she possibly do that would hurt me?
The weird smirk on her lips didn’t leave, making the smile on my lips dissolve.
She crossed her fingers with mine and practically pinned my hands on the bed. If I wanted to remove them, it was the easiest thing to do, but I was dying to see what she would do.
Suddenly, she kissed my lips once more and moved down my throat, to my chest. She began to kiss me slowly, wetting her lips on purpose for me to see, every ten seconds, before going back again.
I groaned with a pleasure which burned so much, It almost felt like fire was growing inside of me. Except that I didn’t want this one to be quenched.
Her lips kissed my nipples at first, then she bit them with her teeth before licking the pain away with her tongue.
I was in pain… a sweet kind of pain.
My hands vibrated so much, she was struggling to keep me still.
When I couldn’t take it anymore, I broke free from her hold, and turned her over at once on the bed.
My movement took her by surprise, so much so she was speechless and only stared into my glowing amber eyes.
She had had her fun, it was my turn to bring down the heat on her.
“My turn, Lilith, brace yourself.”
