Without thinking, I pinched the flesh on his arm.
“Oww, dammit.”
Ah, music to my ears. It felt very good, knowing he wasn’t really that perfect.
“What was that for?” He turned to me with a scowl and I quickly got rid of my smirk, but it was too late.
“Oh, so that’s how it is. Still a little monster, huh? Even when you’re already my girlfriend?”
Uh-oh. I didn’t like the look in his eyes—-
Aaaah!
He suddenly carried me over his shoulder, and the next thing I knew he had dumped me on his bike and he was revving his beast into life.
Rooooooooar——
In a blink of an eye, his beast was racing down the road, so fast I clutched him in a death grip, my arms tightening around his waist even as I cursed Kellion in my mind.
God. This. Biker.
We zoomed out of the campus, his beast faster than most cars it drove past. His speed had me breathless, nervous, and excited, but not terrified. There was something about the way he gripped the handlebars, the way he moved with his beast like they were one, that inspired confidence. He was a fast rider, but he was a damn good one, too.
Throughout the ride, Kellion didn’t speak, and I remained silent, too. Leaning my head against his back, I found myself closing my eyes and simply enjoying the wind against my face, my hair flying behind me. With just the feel of Kellion’s hot, hard body pressed against mine and my eyes shut, it was easy to pretend it was just the two of us.
Only when Kellion had slowed down did I slowly open my eyes and I realized he had brought us to Emerald Peak. It boasted of gorgeous views of downtown Miami, but what it was truly famous for was as a free dating spot for couples who liked making out inside their cars.
It was a beautiful place, really. I just never thought I’d have a reason to be here.
Kellion got off his bike, and when he faced me, I was startled to see the grim look on his face. I touched his arm. What’s wrong?
His lips curved, and I was even more certain something was troubling him when his smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Sorry.”
I shook his arm, forcing Kellion to look at me. What’s wrong, really?
He didn’t say a thing. He simply looked at me.
After hesitating for a second, I leaned forward impulsively, taking the initiative to kiss him for the first time. But Kellion turned his face to the side at the last moment and my lips brushed his cheek instead.
I froze.
His jaw clenched.
Did I just get...rejected?
“What’s...wrong?” This time, I asked it out loud, just so he knew how much this mattered to me. When he still didn’t answer, I knew he wouldn’t do so unless I did something drastic.
So I took hold of his hand, and when his startled gaze met mine, I placed it on my breast.
Kellion’s nostrils flared, desire flashing in his eyes, and I could have collapsed in relief.
Thank God he still wanted me. Thank God I could still love him. So whatever it was, it could be solved.
But right now—-
He was still holding my breast, which only occurred to me when I realized that all the tingling sensations running over my body came from just one place—-
I slapped his hand away when his fingers tightened around my flesh.
Kellion laughed. “Weren’t you the one who made me touch you?”
I threw my hands up then pointed at him. Because you were acting WEIRD.
He sighed. “Sorry.” He leaned forward, brushing his nose against mine. “I guess Bobby’s words got to me, after all.”
Bobby?
Seeing my bemused look, he shook his head. “It’s nothing. She just gave me a few truths that made me feel undeserving of you.”
I pointed at him. You? Undeserving of me? I rolled my eyes. You have got to be kidding.
His lips twitched. “I’m not kidding. I seriously contemplated taking a fucking chastity vow just to prove that I don’t mean to hurt you.” Kellion’s face became grim. “Because that’s what would kill me, terataki. The thought that—-”
I placed a finger over his lips. Looking straight into his eyes, I slowly shook my head. “You...will...not...hurt...me.” I took his hand again, but this time I placed it over my heart. “I...trust...you.” I closed my hand over his. “Tonight...if...you...want...to...”
His eyes widened.
I swallowed. “I...trust...you...that...much.”
A second later and he was kissing me, my hands falling down to my sides, my fingers gripping the seat of his bike as he leaned closer towards me to deepen his kiss.
“I don’t deserve you.” A harsh whisper against my lips.
I bit his lip. “Don’t...think...such...a...thing.” And just so he knew how mad I was, I bit his lip again.
This time, it made him laugh, and in retaliation, he sucked on my lower lip hard. “Little monster.” His tone was amused, but when our gazes met, his eyes were serious. “One month.”
