32 Hea

"It has taken me far too long to find you. How could I let go of you?" he rumbled softly as if in contemplation. "How could I reject the best part of me?"

His voice is deep and velvety with a husky undertone that becomes even more heated with every word he speaks.

I find myself completely enthralled by his longing tone of voice.

It's really hard not to wave the white flag and just admit defeat, but I didn't want to throw in the towel so easily.

I know that I'm being completely stubborn and prudish but this is my life and freedom that is being gambled!

There was too much to lose in the end.

My lips pursed and I managed to free a hand from his.

I'm assured that he let me because there is no way that someone of his physical stature would even let the prey move from his grasp.

With a push against his naked chest, I attempted to move him off of me but he didn't budge in the slightest.

In fact, Eros moved even closer until our chests touch, head tipped downwards until there was barely a hair between our faces.

Automatically, my cheeks start to heat up when the tips of my breasts rubbed against the hard muscles of his chest.

My jaw clenched tight at the sudden tingles that erupted from such a sensitive area.

And Eros grinned, seemingly amused by my feeble attempts to dislodge him.

"I will give you time, mate. But it does not mean I will stand by and watch you without attempting to...entice you," he rumbles out with this sinfully erotic voice that causes my heart to stumble a beat.

My mouth went dry.

Eros' nose slowly skimmed across the surface of my neck, leaving a trail of goosebumps in his wake.

Before I could say anything, he placed a soft burning kiss against the crook of my neck and shoulder, and his warm tongue lathed across a certain spot that caused me to tremble uncontrollably.

He repeated the action several times, all the while watching my every response to his touch.

Goosebumps were quick to form across my arms and legs in mass amounts while my heart is pounding erratically in my chest.

And a warm feeling wells in my abdomen like liquid heat, yet I could only squirm in unrest, unable to decipher these emotions.

When Eros' sharp canine delicately brushed across the surface of my jaw, I could feel delicious tingles cascade down the expanse of my body.

Even my scalp was tingling.

How is this possible?

"You smell delicious, mate," he whispers warmly against my ear, smirking in a completely pleased way.

I swallowed loudly as his warm lips left a delicate kiss against the surface of my ear.

He nipped at the skin lightly before lapping against the sensitive area, and a breathless gasp manages to leave my throat.

I immediately clamped my free arm over my mouth and tried to calm the heat of embarrassment with a grit of my jaw.

My cheeks are probably the color of tomatoes now.

And I deftly realized that this situation has totally gotten out of hand.

How did I go from compromising with him to this?

Eros stoops back to analyze my facial expressions, and a rather mischievous glint in his eyes made me lick my dry lips.

I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but Eros swiftly moves his arm upwards and I could feel his warm fingers brush innocently across the tips of my breasts.

Then, he catches my free arm and pulls it upwards to join my other arm.

His warm mouth kisses across my chin, briefly ghosting across the corner of my mouth before the lightest of a kiss pressed onto my lips.

My heart almost stopped the moment his lips met mine.

And the sparks made my vision go white for nearly 10 seconds.

I had to bite down hard on my lower lip to stop myself from making any strange and embarrassing noises.

Even if he hadn't held my hands captive, I don't think I would have the strength to struggle.

"But I will not take you unless you want me to. No matter how tempting you are." He smirked down at me after removing himself from my body. Almost immediately, the sparks disappeared without his touch.
