but she avoided his wings. She noticed that Aledyan's smile grew. It made her smile also. He seemed to be thinking that he was in heaven. It sure looked like it according to his pleased expression.
Inez licked her lips , and that longing feeling in her gut grew stronger. She wanted more now than just to caress him. If this went on, she would end up sleeping with him, but it didn't bother her.
She wanted it to happen.
S he started slowly to lean down. Her move made Aledyan look up at her. When he realized what she wanted, he raised his body to meet her half-way.
It was a kiss like no other , and this time she was the one who ended up in heaven. His lips were soft, but strong and firm. She opened up to him, more than she had intended to. But once the tip of her tongue touched his all thought fled.
She grabbed his face while he sat up, never letting go of her lips. A loud moan escaped his mouth when they stood up on their knees, and she pulled herself closer to him, pressing herself against his body. She wanted him to make the next move, but he barely touched her. It was only his mouth that showed the fire and the desire that was burning within him. His hands were still on his sides, only sometimes making a move toward her, then stopping and dropping back down again.
“You can hold me now if you want,” she said with a hoarse voice.
Immediately his arms closed around her, pulling her closer than she had ever been before. Inez felt the heat from his body. His skin felt soft and smooth, but under it she could feel his strong and hard muscles working.
She couldn't understand why this felt so different. She had kissed men before, but not like this. There was something more to this than just a regular kiss. He really made her tingle and tremble all over. It was as if his touch reached the deepest part of her soul, a place she didn't even know existed.
Without hesitation , she gave in to his needs. His arms gently caressed her arms and back before moving on. She barely noticed when his hand slipped in under her t-shirt, but she jumped when his fingers touched the bare skin on her stomach. It left her head spinning and wanting more. He was becoming a drug to her, a drug she never wanted to get away from. He made her feel wanted, needed.
Inez closed her eyes and leaned her head b ack when he wanted access to her throat. She heard a pleased moan leave his mouth, and she smiled to herself. A shiver went through her body when his lips connected with her skin.
She felt his longing and loneliness in every touch. The deeper his kisses became the more of his need he showed. It made her want to open up even more to him, make him feel that she really wanted him, make him understand that she would never run away again. She wanted to be there for him, to set him free.
It took a while for Inez to register that his lips had stopped kissing her. All she could feel was his warm breath on her skin.
Confused she opened her eyes and blinked. “What is it?”
“Did someone hurt you?”
“What do you mean?”
“You said that I was no different from the others.” Their gazes met. Desire was still written all over his face, but he had stopped exploring her. “What happened?”
Inez turned her head away. How could she explain a lifetime of experiences with a few sentences, and did she really want him to know? Just the thought of telling him made her realize that she did want him to know.
“I don't trust men,” she said. “They have never given me a reason to trust them. My father was the first, my brother was the second, and my ex-boyfriend was the third. One by one they used my good side for their own benefits. They gained my trust just to break it, over and over again, and I, in my naive thinking, thought that maybe things would be different this time.” She went silent for a while. “But it never was.”
Aledyan studied her. “I will never betray your trust.”
She grinned. “But you did. You put your arms around me even
