Breathe into Me - Page 54/64

Tonight was one of the nights we were staying at his apartment. We had gone bowling with Jessi and Landon earlier that night, and since his apartment was closer, we decided to crash here. I had just taken a shower and was now sitting on the edge of Kane’s bed, wringing my hands together.

We hadn’t had sex again since that first night. Kane had said he was giving me time to heal from the soreness, but I was more than ready to give it another go. I just wasn’t sure how to approach the subject. Do I just come out and tell him? Do I try to seduce him into it?

I heard the water in the bathroom shut off, and the butterflies that had been floating around in my stomach grew into what was more like an angry swarm of bumble bees. My stomach was flipping so hard, it was almost painful. I couldn’t believe what I was about to do, but dang it, he gave me a taste of something then just took it away. Did he not know that he was being a super tease? If I wanted more, I was going to have to go after it.

I heard the bathroom door open and then close. The floorboards creaked under his weight as he began walking down the hall toward his room, where I was. He twisted the knob and pushed open the door, wearing nothing but a fluffy blue towel. The tattoos going up both his arms and across the top of his chest were clearly visibly in all their beautiful glory. I was never going to get tired of looking at those tattoos, or at him for that matter. I don’t care what some people say, a man can be beautiful and Kane definitely was. He was simply stunning.

“What are you staring at?” he lightly laughed as he walked over to his dresser and opened the top drawer. As he passed by me I could smell his sweet scent. There had been times I had wondered if he actually wore cologne or if it was just body wash I smelled. I guess now I had my answer.

“Nothing.” I shyly shrugged.

If he only knew what was going through my head at this moment. My face grew hot just from the thought.

“Yeah, I don’t believe you.” He smiled as he pulled a pair of black boxer briefs from his drawer and slid them on under his towel, then dropped the towel into the hamper.

What a shame.

His smile grew even larger, causing those dimples I loved so much to deepen. He pulled his bottom lip between his teeth and gave his lip ring and quick flip. Ah hell, he was doing that on purpose. He knew what playing with that lip ring did to me.

Well, mister, two could play that game. I scooted back further onto the bed, keeping my eyes on his. I slowly laid my body back onto the middle, then stretched my arms above my head and faked a yawn. I could feel that my tank had ridden up around my belly button making a good two full inches of the bare skin of my stomach visible. My pajama shorts rested pretty low on my hips and I knew he could see my hip bones sticking out.

Kane had this weird thing with my hip bones that I was becoming aware of. I had begun to notice that anytime we would lie together and my hip bones were exposed, he would constantly rub over them. It wasn’t the most normal thing to fetish over, but hey, some people got off on sucking other peoples toes. I would take a hip bone fetish over a toe jam sucker any day.

“Wow. I am so tired tonight. This day has gone by so slowly. I couldn’t wait to get it over with so I could curl up in bed and finally get some sleep.” I tucked my hands behind my head, and closed my eyes.

Even with my eyes closed I knew he was still looking at me. I could feel it; I could feel the passion rolling off him, washing over me. I pointed the toe of my left foot and began lazily sliding it up and down the calf of my right leg, and faked another yawn.

The bed dipped and I felt a warm hand begin caressing the inside of my calf, I smiled. I had him.

“You can wipe that grin off your pretty little face right now. You got what you wanted. You have my full attention now, sweetheart.” His hot breath tickled my neck and he lowered his head down to nuzzle the sensitive skin between my shoulder and neck.

I sighed as his hand continued to rub up and down my leg, going a little higher with each trip up. He softly kissed a line across my shoulder and back before pulling back to look at me.

“I don’t think I will ever get enough of you, Kels. I’m addicted, and there is no going back for me. I never thought my heart was capable of these feelings until you. You shine so bright, and so warm, that you melted the ice I had around my heart and made me feel again.” He leaned forward, rested his forehead against mine and took a deep breath that he held for a minute before slowly blowing it out. “I love you, Kelsey.”

I didn’t know if it was possible for a heart to have butterflies, but at that moment, after he said those three words to me, my heart most definitely had butterflies.

He finally pulled his face back to look me in the eye. “I do, Kelsey. I love you so damn much.”

I placed my hand on his cheek. He leaned into my touch and I gently ran the pad of my thumb under his eye. “I love you too,” I softly whispered to him. My throat was so tight from the overwhelming emotions I was feeling for him, a whisper was all I could manage.

His smile beamed so bright after I whispered those words, and he crushed his mouth to mine, kissing me deeply as if his life depended on that one kiss. He wasted no time ridding me of my tank and pajama bottoms, and began exploring my body first with his hands, and then with his mouth. Placing feather light kisses on my most sensitive areas.

I could feel his lip ring with every kiss that he placed. The cold metal against my heated skin was almost enough to send me over the edge. He kissed across my collar bone, then slowly down to the mounds of my breasts. I couldn’t stop the quiver that ran through my body as his tongue ran across one mound and dipped down between the two. He must have felt my shudder, because he let out a throaty laugh and cupped my other breast in his hand ever so lightly, massaging it with his palm and fingers. This man had magic hands, let me tell you.

I arched my back, pushing my chest deeper into his touch. He responded by settling his body between my thighs, pressing himself against me, just the pressure of having his hardness against me had me gripping and clawing at his back.

“Take off your underwear,” I said, and was shocked by the words that had just tumbled out of my mouth. I was usually not this outspoken, but when it came to Kane, all bets were off. He made me feel brave and alive. He was slowly bringing out a side of me I didn’t know even existed.

He chuckled at my demand. “I will, just wait. There is time for that later. Right now there are a few parts of your body I have been dying to get my mouth on.” He looked up at me, his gray eyes full of lust and wanting.
