Chuckling, I followed her out onto the balcony. Outside, I’d set up two lounge chairs and a small side table.
Audrey passed by the furniture and headed straight for the ledge. Leaning her elbows on it, she took in the magnificent view of the sparkling buildings of downtown. At this time of night, the moon reflected the silhouettes of the building, framing them like portraits. “This is beautiful,” she murmured, awestruck by the sight. “Do you come out here often?”
“Every morning before work. I sip on my coffee and watch the sunrise.”
“I bet that view is gorgeous.”
“The one I have right now is better.”
Audrey looked up at me, and her eyes locked with mine. Her brows twitched, threatening to come together. She pressed her lips together as she averted her gaze. “I didn’t know you remembered…about our imaginary apartment.”
“How could I forget? We talked about our future damn near every night during senior year.” I slid my hand over the railing towards hers. “Now, it’s our reality.”
Her eyes fell to our hands as my fingers wrapped around hers. She stared at our intertwined hands for a moment, a smile blooming on her lips. Stars sparkled in her amber irises as she looked up at me.
Warmth swirled through my stomach from the tender look on her face. It’s been so long since she’s looked at me with suchadoration and longing. As if she saw every strength and flaw and decided to love every aspect. Decided to love me.
My heart pulled me towards her, leaning down to close the distance between us. My gaze flicked between her eyes and her lips, searching for any sort of confusion or disgust.
Neither crossed her face. Her chin tilted upwards, and she slowly rose onto her toes.
The space between us quickly closed and our lips finally met again.
Chapter 27
Audrey
Max’s lips were still the same ones I’ve dreamed about since our first kiss.
Soft, smooth, and tinted with mint. Now, the soft scruff from his facial hair tickled my skin, a hint of alcohol lingered on his tongue, and the aroma of his cologne wafted through my nose.
Every bone in my body melted into putty underneath the familiar touch. I looped my arms around his neck and leaned my torso against his to keep myself upwards.
His tongue flicked at my lips, sensually parting them before sliding inside.
I moaned into his mouth as his tongue grasped mine, inviting it into a sensual tango.
As they danced together, his hands traced down my neck to my hips. His large hands clasped around them, flushing my body with his. He kissed me like a man who’s been starving all his life and I was his first meal: eagerly, yet savoring every single bite.
Sparks flickered between our bodies, rubbing against each other until they created full-blown flames. Heat rushed through my body as our kisses deepened, yearning for his touch on my bare skin.
Max’s hands slid down over my hips to my ass. His palms ran over the curves of my cheeks, squeezing and rubbing the musclesthere. Gradually, they slid around to my thighs. Effortlessly, he grabbed handfuls of my legs and lifted me up off of my feet.
I wrapped my legs around his waist, holding on for dear life.
Lips and tongues still interlocked, he blindly carried me through his apartment and into the bedroom. He lay me down on the bed, the mattress softer than a cloud, and pressed his body on top of mine.
In the new position, I could feel the bulge growing in his jeans. He pressed it against my pussy, igniting the flame of desire.
My legs tightened around his waist as the heat flooded through my lower region. I lifted my hips to rub myself against him, trying to ease the ache forming in my pussy.
Grabbing fistfuls of the hem of his shirt, I pulled it up his torso and threw it over his head. My hands roamed over his back and arms, exploring every new muscle and curve.
He broke the kiss to pepper kisses down my jaw towards my neck.
My eyes rolled the back of my head as I felt his tongue against my skin.
He licked and sucked on my neck, determined to leave some marks behind. His hand glided from my thigh to my bra, lifting the fabric of my top as he went.
