Fond of Erato Chapter 23

His lips are warm. I can smell the minty scent of cigarette, an after shave smell and his signature scent of all time. Something in me woke up, like the whole empty backyard suddenly became a sauna.

I moved my lips in a primitive way. His lips moved too but so unlike the kissed he gave me last time. This time, it was like as if he's letting me dominate the situation. Like he's really true to what he just said, that he's just wanting me to show him what's a good kisser and what's not.

That made me stop.

I slowly opened my eyes and his dominating eyes is the first thing I saw I felt hurt by the thought. But I remained calm and confident. I licked my lips while looking at his. I’m still clung to him.

I felt his breath on me as I slowly withdrew my kiss. A long silence first reigned over us before he spoke.

"Is that your answer or it’s just you wanting to kiss me?"

My cheeks heated up on what he just said. Fvck. He hit my own preference. I chuckled coolly and avoided his stare.

Seems like still proving him he's wrong even though it's all the end of me. I shrug my shoulders. Because I realized that if I were to speak further I can't make up for it anymore.

I slowly lowered my hand from his neck.

"It's my birthday anyways- Ahh!"

Was about to turn my back on him when he suddenly caught my hands in the midst and pushed me on the wall in an instant.

The next thing I heard was me, grunting because of how startled and scared I am. His aggressiveness shook me into mobility.

My mind went blank as his lips are roaming every bits of my lips. I can feel the warmth of his hands on mine as he put it above my head. His tongue flicked wanting for an entrance. And who am I to decline it?

I felt his tongue and warmth as his mouth roamed me wholly. I couldn't think. My neck almost ached from the shock I could reach and I could only resist his lips.

I longed for him. He's jailing my hands above my head and I wanted to resist. I wanted to hold him and grasp his hair. I wanted to feel his body on me more than what's he's doing right now.

He bit my lower lip which made me moan without me thinking. The fire spread through my system even more. It seems to have become dry leaves and is gradually consumed unconsciously

"Hmm,"

I moaned as his lips crawled from the side of my lips then to the side of my jaws. My body shivered. I could feel every touch of his lips on me. I was closing my eyes as I feel euphoric.

I don’t know how I weighed all the feeling as long as what dominated me was the weird feeling he was causing.

"Ahhh~"

I bit my lip after that moan. His lips are still slowly kissing my jaw and I couldn't help but to moan.

"Erato,"

I couldn't recognize my voice. I wouldn’t even have known we were outside if I hadn’t already felt the cold breeze.

One call of his name and I felt him stop.

It was as if something was missing from me and my eyes opened quickly because of his stopping. It felt like I was left hanging in the air.

Like I'm still on fire yet I needed someone to splash me a cold bucket of water just to lost this desire I'm wanting.

I looked at him confusedly, and the first thing I saw was his red and wet lips. It was as if my breathing stopped when I saw his playful smile and arrogant eyes. I felt his hands get the lighter in my hands.

I didn't even know that I was holding it and I don't even give a fvck. The look on my face was clearly confusing. My hands slowly dropped as he released them from nailing it to the wall I was leaning against. He lighted the cigarette he got in his pocket and puff once on it.

My eyes are fiery and wanting to burst out, it ends with a cloud of tears as my heart ache in ways I could never understand.

"That's how you kiss Jade. Not just the average, but a good one."

He whispered in front of my face and turn his back on me. I couldn't believe what just happened. I can't swallow the ego he just stepped into.

What he did to me was very clear, and I sent it to his stupid solution. I bit my lips and looked down. I tried to stop the tears from dripping but I didn’t succeed.

I bit my lip harder just so a sob won't escape. I quickly wiped away the tears but it was also quickly followed by many who seemed to be ahead.

"Here's your-"

I quickly left in front of him so that he could not see my defeated look. I run my shit with my blurry sight. I even passed my friends in the pool area and laughed.

They’re trying to call me but I did not look at them. Even Jax's group called me too but I ignored them.

I ran into my room and saw Olivia still sleeping. The sob that I thought I could let go of I didn’t do because I was afraid Olivia would wake up and ask her what was the reason for my tears.

I wiped my tears but they still don't have a plan to stop. I went to bed and covered myself so that I could cry. My head is hurting and I felt like vomiting but I kept it all in my self.

There seemed to be nothing to do with those things because of the pain and weight of the chest I was feeling.
