Ugly-Love
Two of the tips of his fingers are touching my knee.
Three. I inhale again and try to focus on finishing his stitches. I can’t. This is deliberate. This touch isn’t an accidental graze. He’s touching me because he wants to be touching me. His fingers trail around my knee, and his hand slips to the back of my leg. He lays his forehead against my shoulder with a sigh, and he squeezes my leg with his hand. I have no idea how I’m still standing. “Tate,” he whispers. He says my name painfully, so I pause what I’m doing and wait for him to tell me it hurts. I wait for him to ask me to give him a minute. That’s why he’s touching me, isn’t it? Because I’m hurting him? He doesn’t speak again, so I finish the last stitch and knot the thread. “It’s over,” I say, replacing the items on the counter. He doesn’t release me, so I don’t back away from him. His hand slowly begins to slide up the back of my leg, all the way up my thigh, around to my hip and up to my waist. Breathe, Tate. His fingers grip my waist, and he pulls me closer, still with his head pressed against me. My hands find his shoulders, because I have to grab onto something in order to steady myself. Every muscle in my body somehow just forgot how to do its job. I’m still standing, and he’s still sitting, but I’m positioned between his legs now that he’s pulled me so close. He slowly begins to lift his face from my shoulder, and I have to close my eyes, because he’s making me so nervous I can’t look at him. I feel him tilt his face up to look at me, but my eyes are still closed. I squeeze them a little tighter. I don’t know why. I don’t know anything right now. I just know Miles. And right now, I think Miles wants to kiss me. And right now, I’m pretty damn sure I want to kiss Miles. His hand slowly trails all the way up my back until he’s touching the back of my neck. I feel like his hand has left marks on every single part of me he’s touched. His fingers are at the base of my neck, and his mouth is no more than half an inch from my jaw. So close I can’t distinguish if it’s his lips or his breaths that are feathering my skin. I feel like I’m about to die, and there isn’t a damn thing in that first- aid kit that could save me. He tightens his grip on my neck . . . and then he kills me. Or he kisses me. I can’t tell which, since I’m pretty sure they would feel the same. His lips against mine feel like everything. Like living and dying and being reborn, all at the same time. Good Lord. He’s kissing me. His tongue is already in my mouth, gently caressing mine, and I don’t even remember how that happened. I’m okay with it, though. I’m okay with this. He begins to stand, but his mouth remains on mine. He walks me a few feet until the wall behind me replaces the hand that was on the back of my head. Now he’s touching my waist. Oh, my God, his mouth is so possessive. His fingers are splayed out again, digging into my hip. Holy hell, he just groaned. His hand moves from my waist and glides down to my leg. Kill me now. Just kill me now. He lifts my leg and wraps it around him, then presses against me so beautifully I moan into his mouth. The kiss comes to an abrupt halt. Why is he pulling away? Don’t stop, Miles. He drops my leg, and his palm hits the wall beside my head as if he needs the support to continue standing. No, no, no. Keep going. Put your mouth back on mine. I try to look at his eyes again, but they’re shut. They’re regretting this. Download 2.83 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
