"Kira, I… I love you."
When Marceline said those three magic words Kira froze. He blinked several times as he stared wordlessly at her. He didn't know what to say.
Love… that's the last thing he wanted to think about right now. He had never expected that Marceline would say those words to him.
Marceline's heart raced even faster when she saw Kira's baffled expression. He didn't say a word. She could see the surprise and disbelief in his eyes.
She took a deep breath before she continued talking. She caressed his face, meeting his gaze.
"I'm not expecting you to respond. I just want to tell you my feelings. I don't want to regret things. There are things I haven't said to Aunt Bri and my grandpa. Now I can't talk to them anymore." Marceline felt the lump in her throat as she opened her heart to Kira.
She became emotional, remembering Aunt Brianna and her grandfather.
"I don't want that to happen to us. I'm afraid to lose you too. I only have you now… You scared me when I learned that you were hurt and in pain…" Marceline didn't hesitate to show her fears to Kira. This was the first time she opened her heart.
"The people close to me are always leaving me behind… my parents and Aunt Bri. Now my grandpa is also in great danger…" Marceline's tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes.
Kira raised his hand to wipe her tears. He caressed her face and he leaned over, raining soft little kisses on her forehead, down to her eyes, nose, and cheeks. He was like kissing away those tears.
He hated to see her cry like this. His heart clenched further, seeing her in tears. But he was not certain if he could reciprocate her love. He was also confused with his feelings right now, especially when he saw Selene.
But he had to admit that he could forget his problem related to Selene whenever he was with Marceline. His attention would be diverted to her.
The heaviness in his heart a while ago was lifted when he saw Marceline, hugging and kissing her. Then her confession really caught him off guard. Fortunately, Marceline told him she was not expecting an answer for now. In fact, her words comforted him somehow.
Kira continued to shower her with kisses until he captured her lips once more. This time he was the one to take the lead. His lips were warm and sweet on her, gently caressing her mouth.
Marceline parted her lips to welcome his playful tongue. She also thrust her tongue, meeting his. Their tongues sought each other out in a sweet and sensuous movement.
Marceline wanted more of him. She liked to feel him and savor this moment, forgetting their worries. Just like Kira, Marceline wanted to help Kira erase those painful memories he had with Selene.
She couldn't bear seeing Kira in pain because of another woman. As much as possible she wished to ease her pain and sadness. If only she could replace her in his heart in an instant. But she knew that it might be a long process and it would take time.
Little did she know, Kira had a lot of wonderful memories with Selene. The only painful memory he had was the night Selene attacked him and he learned that Dominique Silvano was Selene's mate.
So Kira's hatred towards Selene might disappear once he found out that Selene didn't betray him. If Selene was the one who protected him, then his love for her would remain.
If that was the case, Marceline would have difficulty in winning his heart and replacing Selene.
But Kira couldn't stop himself from getting intimate with Marceline. He couldn't understand his feelings either. If he still loved Selene, then why was he allowing himself to be closer to Marceline?
For some unknown reason, he was getting addicted to her kisses and touches. He wondered if this was the cause of the mate bond Stella was talking about.
'Mate bond? Is this also the same feeling Selene had? Did she love me but the 'mate bond' between Dominique and her was so strong that she was not able to stay away from him?' Kira mused to himself, still thinking about Selene.
He couldn't help but to ask himself if they had the same experience and situation.
'If that's the case, does it mean I only have a strong physical attraction towards Marceline and my heart is still beating for Selene?'
Kira was lost in his thoughts. Marceline noticed that he was distracted again. With that, Marceline bit his lower lip, causing Kira to groan in between their kisses.
Then she pinned him down on the couch and said, "Focus on me, Ki. Can you do that?" Marceline's emerald eyes turned into amber. It seemed that Stella's subconscious was kicking in.
After saying those words, her lips hastily descended to meet his lips. This time her movement became more demanding and persuasive, drowning Kira in this wonderful sensation. Then a soft groan of passion escaped his mouth as Marceline continued to devour his lips in a savage conquest.
When she released his mouth, Kira groaned inwardly. He didn't want her to stop. But her lips began to caress and trace his jaw as she murmured, "Ki… I want you. For this moment… Be mine…"
Her sensual words set his body aflame. Kira felt his heart jumping in excitement and anticipation. His body seemed to be waiting for this moment to happen again. He could no longer stop his desire.
And once again, Kira had forgotten about Selene as his full attention was now focused on Marceline.
Nodding his head, Kira allowed Marceline to do what she wanted. He would just go with the flow. Besides, he was also looking forward to it.
It did not take long when Marceline suddenly ripped off his shirt as she continued trailing kisses from his throat going down to his neck, shoulder, and chest.
Kira's body heated up further when her soft lips began caressing and licking his skin. Before he knew it, Marceline already unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants. Yes! She wanted him right now!
Heightening the burning passion between them, Marceline took off her shirt in front of Kira. She was on top of him, straddling him.
She hoped by doing this Kira would forget about Selene even just for a while. She was willing to use her body to get Kira's full attention. She hated it knowing that Kira was still thinking and affected by his ex-lover.
She pressed her palms against his naked chest as she started to move her hips, up and down his crotch. She was stimulating him through their body contact.
Kira could only groan in ecstasy. The pleasure of their bodies touching each other was driving him nuts. He felt like he was losing his control and wanted to pin her down instead.
But Marceline was more aggressive than him today. She wanted to pleasure him until he would forget his heartache.
She pulled down his underwear, revealing his hardened erection. Then her soft hands grabbed his thing, massaging his shaft in up and down movement.
Kira clenched his jaw while clenching his fists. He was refraining from losing control as he wanted Marceline to take the lead.
Before he knew it, Marceline already pulled down her panty and guided the tip of his manhood on her entrance. Marceline moaned when she began to rub his tip against her bottom lips.
She became wetter at the contact of their sexes. She continued to rub her entrance back and forth over his hardness. While she was doing that, Marceline was toying with his tip, squeezing and rubbing it playfully as she looked straight into his penetrating eyes.
They never broke their eye contact. Their bodies were moving in sync. Kira was now groping and kneading her soft breasts using both hands.
Marceline let out a soft gasp when Kira squeezed her breasts so hard and thrust his hips forward to enter her entrance. Half of his member entered her cave. She was still so tight.
But later on, Marceline also slammed her hips downward, allowing Kira to penetrate her deeper.
"Aah~ Harder… and deeper, Ki…" she moaned in his ears.
Her melodious moan was pleasant to his ears. It intensified his desire for her. "Go on, my Lady. Ride me…" Kira encouraged her as he began kissing her neck, his lips going down her breast.
Marceline followed Kira's suggestion. She rode him so hard, allowing his thing to go deeper and deeper inside her. She was sinking down, his manhood impaling her inside. Their moans and groans echoed in the house.
The two continued to move their bodies in pleasurable motions. Kira was pulling her down while he was thrusting his hips up. Her inner muscles were clutching his cock tightly, making a wonderful sensation.. And just like that, the two got lost in their own world, not thinking about anybody else but them.
