Page 37 of Eye Candy

He was so close to me I couldn’t look at him anymore; his face was a little fuzzy in my vision. So, I had to close my eyes, but in doing so, it only made his voice sound that much more enticing, that much more ragged and urgent.

“The world would do such terrible things to you, if it could,” Kieran murmured, the hand in my hair tugging my head to the side and exposing my neck to him. His lips trailed across my cheek, finding their way to my neck. “But I won’t let it. I won’t let anyone hurt you again.” This time, his lips brushed against tender skin when he spoke, and I couldn’t fight the shiver that crept up my spine as a result.

I found myself leaning into him, and his body reciprocated in kind. The hand on my side swept around to my lower back, hugging me against him with an iron grip I couldn’t escape—though I didn’t try to.

“Kieran.” His name was all I could say, and even then, it hardly came out. Everything in me was so confused, so… needy, like I wanted to forget about the world outside of this room and do things with this man I shouldn’t.

I’d thought about using him to get back at my dad and Tessa, but… how could I consider this using him when I wanted it, wanted him, so badly I couldn’t think straight?

“So threaten me,” he whispered, gently kissing the crook of my neck. “Say whatever you want. Do whatever you want. But first, let me give you some ammunition against me.” The hand in my hair moved to the side of my face as he lifted his lips off my neck, turning my head toward his.

I couldn’t say anything to that, because in the next moment, his mouth found mine, swallowing up any reply I might’ve had.

It wasn’t my first kiss, but at the same time, it was. My firstrealkiss. The first kiss in my life that made every single part of me come to life, sing with need, and want so much more. His lips commanded mine, forcing me to submit as he ravaged my mouth however he wanted, and all the while, he kept his other arm locked around my lower back.

My body was on fire, my heart racing so fast in my chest I thought it might burst. I held onto Kieran, kissing him back, needing, wanting so much more than I could get from him right now. It didn’t even matter that he was technically my step-uncle, nor did it matter he was years older than me.

All that mattered was the desire and how very mutual it was.

I moaned into the kiss, and Kieran swallowed up the sound. He held me against his body so tightly I could feel the beginning stirrings of something growing harder by the second. His mouth never broke contact with mine, not even when he spun us around and backed me up to the door he’d just closed and locked, pinning me against it.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, or in this case, a door and Kieran… it wasn’t a bad place to be. In fact, I think I was enjoying this kiss more than I’d enjoyed anything in my life lately, so much so that I desperately yearned for more. So much more.

But I’d only started to take my birth control. There was no way it was fully effective yet, so I had to regain some control.

Now that I was pinned against the door, the arm that had previously been wrapped around me could be used in other ways. That hand dropped to my side, and before I knew what he was doing, it slipped between us, arching down along the most private part of my body.

He pulled his mouth off mine so I could suck in a breath, those black eyes of his watching as I struggled to be quiet. Even though he was just touching me over my leggings, it was like it was skin-on-skin contact. My clit ached for him, for his attention, and I wanted nothing more than to lose myself on that hand.

Kieran must’ve sensed my intense desire, because it wasn’t long before his hand crept upward and slipped beneath my leggings, finding my clit and rubbing along its side. I let out a breathless moan, and all the while he stared down at me, never breaking eye contact, like he wanted to watch me unravel.

“Does that feel good?” he murmured out the question, his voice achingly low. His fingers surrounded my clit, rubbing along both sides of it now, multiplying the desperate feeling inside me.

All I could do was nod. Nod and bite my lower lip to try to stifle any stray moans. Couldn’t forget we were against my door; I didn’t think anyone would be walking by right now, but you never knew.

His forehead leaned down against mine. “Good. I want you to feel good, baby girl.” The whole baby girl thing was new to me, but in the heat of the moment, I found I didn’t hate it. “Iwant you to come for me. Think you can do that?” His lips brushed against mine as the rubbing of my clit intensified. “Can you come for me?”

I think it was safe to say I wanted to come for the both of us. I nodded again, my hips starting to move along with his hand. I couldn’t remember a time when I’d felt more desperate, more wanting of something I needed like the air I breathed. This interaction had gone from zero to one hundred pretty damn fast, but there was no way I could complain.

Kieran continued to touch me, rubbing my clit like he was an expert on the subject of my body. If how my body was reacting to him and his touch, then I’d say he was definitely an expert. He watched me all the while, unable to take his gaze off me, the heat and desire plain in that dark stare.

I had to close my eyes when the pressure inside me started to build, to focus on that heated passion about to explode inside me. My breathing hitched, the knots in my lower stomach twisting as my clit swelled with the attention it was getting. Every moment that passed made me feel like I was about to lose it, like I stood on the precipice, waiting to be pushed.

And, boy, did Kieran push me.

The orgasm ripped through me, and I couldn’t stop myself from crying out. My head banged back against the door, the pleasure surging inside of me, practically blinding me. If Kieran wasn’t so close, if his hand wasn’t still between my legs, I might’ve fallen to the floor.

Even after the orgasm faded, I still rode cloud nine. I couldn’t think straight, couldn’t see straight. The world spun, and my only constant was Kieran.

“Good girl,” he praised me, his voice so low and seductive I thought I might combust again. The fingers on my clit dipped lower, and I moaned again when I felt them circle my entrance. “You’re so wet for me right now. So fucking wet. I’d give anything to be inside you right now, to make you moan like that while you come on my cock.”

I’d never heard him talk like that before. I also never imagined I’d like being spoken to like that, but certain parts of me clenched with need when he said it, as if my body was trying to tell me,Hey, you’d like that, too.

The last thing I wanted was for this moment between us to be over, but alas, you didn’t always get what you wanted. I definitely didn’t, since Kieran pulled his hand up and out of my leggings, leaving me with an aching core and a still-pulsating clit as he said, “Maybe it’s best we don’t go that far.” His voice carried an edge, as if he wanted to finish,Not yet.

Not today.

My breathing struggled to calm, and I managed to step away from the door. Kieran flashed me his typical, easygoing smile, as if we hadn’t just crossed a line there’d be no coming back from, like we’d just had a serious conversation and not aquick make-out session and an orgasm.
