Page 20 of Blood and Ruin: The Complete Series

Yanking me forward, he slams his lips to mine, the chemistry between us exploding. Our tongues battle against each other for dominance. He pulls me closer, our bodies now flush against one another.

Savouring every lick, every taste, we explore each other hungrily, not letting the other go. I clench my thighs together; the slight pressure feels good making me bite back a moan. His grip tightens around me, as if to keep me from running away.

Fuck, I really liked this dark, possessive side of him.

He bites my lips, making me want more, making me crave his type of darkness. No longer able to keep quiet, I moan as the heat expands throughout my body. My core clenches as I feel heat spread in tingles across my body. I clutch fistfuls of his shirt, the throbbing desire deep in the pit of my stomach needing some type of release.

A throat clears loudly behind us, breaking the moment.

Jax smirks as he looks between Axel and me, an amused glint in his eyes.

Axel’s usual hazel eyes were now completely black, specks of gold flickered throughout the darkness like stars. Every inch of him screamed danger and darkness. I was afraid, but not of the darkness, no I feared I liked it. More than I should.

Axel growls menacingly at Jax.

“Lay off, Jax,” Kai commands, giving him a warning look.

Jax chuckles, raising his hands, palms up. “Okay, okay, fine, but I’m giving him a ton of shit for this when we’re out of here.”

Axel’s body turns stiff as he turns. Keeping his back to me, he walks away.

Still a dick.

Kai steps in front of me, his eyes searching for something before moving closer. The warmth from his body lights me up from inside. Reaching out, he runs a hand up the side of my waist, pulling me closer. The other closes around my back.

“Kiarra,” he whispers, as he rubs his thumb across my cheek.

“What are you doing to us?” He searches my eyes, trying to find an answer. I swallow hard, wanting to ask him the same thing, but no longer able to form the words. My traitorous body and mind only focusing on one thing.

Kai lowers his head, running the tip of his nose slowly up mine. His lips inches away as his warm breath falls over me, sends hot shivers down my spine. I whimper. He’s barely touching me and I’m already begging for more. My oversensitive body cries out for relief.

Kai’s nose trails across my cheek and down my neck. I feel the pull as he takes in a deep breath.

“Fuck.” He closes his eyes; he leans his forehead against mine catching his breath.

I need to take a step back. I can’t let this happen. A kiss is one thing, but this is something else. Something more. The emotion they all evoke inside me is terrifying.

But I don’t get the chance before his lips touch mine, and time stops around me.

Testing, tasting. He runs his tongue across my bottom lip, making me shiver.

Needing to touch him, I reach up, wrapping my hands around his neck, pulling him into me.

Kai continues to explore my mouth. The warmth turns into a slow pleasurable burn, shooting across my body, removing any lingering doubts. As heat pools in my lower stomach, a gasp escapes me, feeling the full warmth from his body pressed up against mine. His hands run up and down my thighs, making my core tighten.

The feel of his hard body leaning into mine is exquisite torture.

His hands, still exploring my pliant body, trail up my back again. One stops around the back of my neck, holding me close. The other glides up my side, brushing the curve of my breast.

I whimper, needing to feel more of his touch against my hypersensitive skin. Arching into him, I rub my chest against his, the warm friction sending a jolt right to my core.

“Kai.” A voice calls out from somewhere behind us, but we’re too lost in each other to stop.

Kai’s hand slowly moves back down my body, making me feel reckless with searing need.

My breath quickens as he reaches my hip and the slit of my dress, knowing the slightest touch from him will make me explode.

“Kai!” Rion yells, the tone in his voice a command making Kai halt his wandering fingers.
