Her lips trembled. She had prayed for this, but she had prepared herself for more resistance from Ezekiel. Him, finally giving in to her requests was such an unexpected shock. She thought from all the other times that he had either avoided the topic or denied her, she was about to open her mouth and argue until she lost her breath. Thus, him suddenly accepting so easily like this was like taking the wind from her sails and her mouth hung open in shock for a few moments.
Then, she threw herself into his arms. Hugging him so tightly that she might even meld in and become a part of him. Tears of joy pooled in her eyes.
“I’ve heard that. You’re not going to tell me I heard it wrong…” she said. Then she pulled away and stared into his eyes again. She noticed that darkness in his left eye was slowly fading. The black hue was receding as though being pulled back into the depths of his pupil by an overwhelming gravitational force within it.
“I won’t,” he assented, and Alicia’s heart swelled with so much joy that she felt it was on the brink of bursting.
She was about to hug him again when he pinched her chin in a fond gesture. His eyes gleamed as he looked at her. “As you wish, Alicia.” He added, his voice serious. She could not see any hints of hesitation in his eyes, nor any tinge of doubt or self-control in his actions anymore. He really seemed to be all in with his words and actions this time.
He shifted her, then rested his hand on the side of her neck.
“Undress me.” He told her in a commanding tone.
Alicia did not waste any more time and quickly reached her hands out. However, her fingers trembled a little because of all the excitement and anticipation that was shooting through her right now.
As her fingers shook, she fumbled with his buttons. With every button being popped open, it revealed his toned and perfect torso. That only heightened the heat that was quickly rising between them.
His intense gaze was boring into hers and she could feel the flames of passion licking sensuously against her skin.
The moment all buttons were freed, he allowed her to ogle him for a moment longer before taking over the reins. He put her hands on his neck then took his own shirt off quickly, as if he did not want to spend too much time on this one thing any longer.
Discarding the shirt on the stone, Zeke jumped back into the water. He did not take her along with him but kept their lands linked together.
She was left sitting on the flat, smooth rock beside the water, while he was half submerged in it. Though their positions would seem to be weird as they were both on different levels, somehow with their natural chemistry between them both, it did not feel that uncomfortable at all.
Facing her, Zeke wedged himself between her legs. Then he snuck his hand under her shirt, holding her gaze as he made those movements.
Once his hands were both around her slender waist, he opened his mouth. “Undress, Alicia.”
Alicia held the hem of her shirt tightly and pulled it up over her head – using that single move to rid herself of her shirt. He swept his gaze over her bare skin before his eyes settled on her bra.
She knew he want them off. She also knew they were outside in an open space, but for the life of her, she could not bring herself to feel any fear or hesitation. Why was that so? She thought that it must be because she knew for sure that Ezekiel would not let anyone see her.
Her bra loosened up. Her faced flushed red under the shimmery moonlight as she took her bra off and allowed it to just fall from her fingers onto the top of the rock. Her nipples were already taut the moment the air come in contact with them.
His gaze stared hungrily at it, and she wanted his mouth there. However, what she hoped to happen did not come true. Instead, his fingers trailed upwards in a slow and maddening motion, causing her to sigh out throatily.
The anticipation of what was going to come was so… so intense… and it just kept on escalating every second that passed.
When his seemingly burning fingertips reached her peak, she bit down on her lip.
He paused. “How many times did I tell you not to bite on your own lips, Alicia?” his eyes glowed as his voice lowered even more in pitch.
His thumb was suddenly on her lips, parting it, slipping inside smoothly without any hindrance. “This is one of my most favourite part of you, Alicia. I know this is your body, but I won’t allow you to keep abusing it like this. You understand me?”
“I’m not –” she started to protest but got cut off almost immediately.
“Yes, you are. You’re biting it too hard. You need to stop doing that.” He ordered with a tone of finality, as though it was the end of this discussion.
“But I can’t help it…” Alicia murmured.
“I guess I need to help you in instructing you on how to stop doing it. How about that? Hmm… Alicia?”
Their conversation was… all breathless. Such a topic did not even sound scandalous or anything near that but… why was she speaking so breathlessly as if he were uttering something erotic and vulgar into her ears? Was it because of the huskiness in his voice? Oh gods…
“Okay,” she replied, finding herself licking his thumb that was still inside her mouth.
His eyes seemed to blaze, and the colour of his irises thickened, like a pool of gleaming liquid lead.
“If you bite on these lips hard again, I will… spank you…” his other hand glided over to her behind, “…here.” And he punctuated his sentence with a quick and short strike, which made Alicia jump due to the suddenness of it. “Is that okay with you?”
