Page 36 of The Boy With The Sharp Teeth
Bitingher bottom lip with a timid smile, Sana took the moment to catch her breathbefore replying. "Sometimes, when you growl like that, it reminds me ofsome sort of beast," she confessed.
Zachstiffened above her, and she could see his dark pupils constrict.
Alarmed,she sat up. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything bad by that," sherushed to explain. "I...I just meant that…it’s a very deep sound when youmake that growling sound."
Still,Zach didn't say anything. He just sat there pinning her with that unreadablehard look.
Feelingmore self-conscious by the second, Sana looked down at her lap before lookingback up at him with an imploring look. "I'm sorry, I'm just not good atthis," she sighed, feeling embarrassed and a little defeated. "Inever know what to say to guys, and you're the first-"
Shakinghis head as if snapping himself out of his mood, Zach gave her a rueful smileas he reached out to cup her shoulder. "No, don't apologize. It's not you,I just took it too seriously."
"ButI-"
Usingthe light grip on her shoulder, Zach pushed her back down until she was flat onher back again, forcing her to look up at him as he leaned over her.
"Shh,sweetheart," he hushed her. "It wasn't you, it was just me. I'm beingparanoid. Besides," he gave her a sharp grin and narrowed his golden eyesat her. "Just what guys have been trying to talk to?"
Andthough his words were teasing, Sana's heart jumped at the threatening gleam inhis eyes. With every second she didn't answer, she could feel the boy above hertense. She could see his wide shoulders tighten and could see the muscle in hisjaw jump as he impatiently waited.
Smilingcoyly, Sana looked away. "It really wouldn't be any of your business, nowwould it, Zachariah Waatese?" She said, turning back to smile teasinglyback at him, ignoring the way his own smiled turned tight, and his eyes burnedin the light of day. "Besides, I'm sure you had hordes of girls who-"
Herwords were cut off with a little squeal when she felt the pricking pain of hissharp teeth nip at her breast through her swimsuit. Looking down her chest athim, her skin felt tight, and her skin flushed as she met Zach's carnal gazeglittering back at her.
Hypnotizedby his gaze, she barely had time to register what he was doing as his fingers graspedeach strap of her swimsuit. With a vicious yank, he pulled the damp, blackswimsuit down her chest until her breasts popped free.
"Zach,no!" she cried, covering herself as she looked down at the forest floorbelow them. "Anyone could come by and-"
Herwords faded as Zach moved her arms away, easily pinning them lightly on eitherside of her against the rock before dipping his head to her breasts. Warmlightning arced through her body as she cried out at the contact of his hotmouth against her cool skin. Skillfully cruel, Zach's tongue toyed and battedthe velvety peak in his mouth until it pebbled against his tongue. With hisfree hand, he kneaded and molded her other breast as he braced himself aboveher, partially covering her body. Sana moaned into the air as the growlingnoises he made above her hummed through the contact of her breast and vibrateddown her body. Despite her suit's straps hindering her movement, she reachedfor him, her foggy mind relishing in the feel of his hot skin beneath hertouch.
"Zach,"she whispered with a little shudder as his mouth switched to her other nipple.
Thesound of his name caused a tremor to pass through his strong body hovering overhers, and Zach pulled away to look at her, leaving her chest uncovered andnipples swollen from his attention.
"Ihave only wanted you, Sana Bhatt," he reached for her, and Sana turned herface to meet his gentle hand. "I have waited for you each day since youleft. A part of me dying and being reborn each time I thought of your smile,your eyes, or even your fucking taste." Leaning down, he covered her mouthonce more, forcing her lips apart. His tongue sought out hers as his handtraveled lower down the curves of her bare breasts and down the valley of hersoft stomach until he stopped at the apex of her thighs.
Withoutthought and driven on instinct alone, Sana opened her legs to his touch. Zach'sresponding growl into her mouth sent a thrill of satisfaction through her.
Cuppingher sex in his hand, Zach slowly undulated the soft flesh until her body beganto stir and move to his touch. "Tell me I wasn't the fool Sana. Tell me Iwasn't alone in this obsession," he demanded in a harsh rasping voiceagainst her neck, his teeth sliding across the tender skin in sensual warning.
"No,"she shook her head. His words acted like a shock to her mind, pulling her outof the heady fog of desire he created, allowing her stunned mind to listen tohis words. No, it couldn't be true, right? He couldn't feel the same as her!How could he? He was him! Attractive and powerful, he could have anyone hewanted, to do anything he wanted, but for some reason, he was saying he wantedonly her.
Awarning sound rattled deep from within his chest as his hand at her sex pickedup speed. Sana couldn't stop the moaning sound escaping her lips as her bodyarched into the movements of his hand. Up and down, his fingers traced theoutline of her slit through the suit, only teasing the hidden pearl at the topas he strummed her back and forth with increasing speed. A fire began tocoalesce within her, spiraling out through her veins and setting her nerveendings on fire. Desperate erotic sounds emitted from her, and vaguelysomewhere in the back of her mind, she was surprised to hear them coming fromher. But it was the growing rumble that vibrated next to her that she focusedon. Deep animalistic sounds coming were from Zach's chest as he stared down ather with those bright gilded eyes. There was a look of desperate need in hiseyes that was slowly pushing her over the edge as if just watching her breakapart under his ministrations was slowly dissolving his control.
"Ineed to hear you say it," Zach demanded through clenched teeth. "Sayit, Sana!"
Outof her mind and half fearing he would stop, she reached for him by the hair andlocked her fist within the soft mass before pulling him down to her lips. Withall that he taught her, she moved her mouth over his tasting him and battlingfor supremacy, a battle he let her control this time. His hand focused on thespot he had been merely teasing before and picked up the pace. Pullingbreathlessly away, her eyes widened as the coiling feeling within grew tighterand tighter, threatening to break. With a cruel teeth-baring smile, Zachwatched as he brought forth what he stoked. Her mouth opened to cry out, butthe coil of pleasure broke, stealing her words and sounds, forcing her eyesclosed and sparks of light to ignite behind her lids as she rode out the storm.
Shudderingand overly sensitive, Sana lay there breathless with her eyes still closed.Only at the feel of the small comforting kiss at her neck did she open hereyes. Zach's warm, satisfied gaze looked at her, taking in every detail of herface, and Sana didn't miss the gleam of satisfied arrogance. With a tiredsmile, she ran a hand through his hair and confessed. "I missed you, andno, there was no one else. I only ever thought of you."
Zachlet out a ragged groan and gathered her close. "Now, was that so hard tosay?"

"Sowhy aren't you or any other Waatese on social media?" Sana asked.
Sittingwithin the open space between his legs, Sana sat with her bottom on the rottedwooden floorboard of the abandoned boat on the beach. Hidden by the volcanicrock formation on one side and the large sand dune on the other, she and Zachsat in the abandoned boat looking out at the sparkling ocean lapping at thesand a few yards away. Above her, Zach sat on the surprisingly still intactstern seat, allowing her to sit tucked in between his jean-covered legs.
Zach’shands, which had been toying with her hair, brushed a few dark strands over hershoulder until they fluttered over and down the curve of her breasts. "Abunch of the older members of the family decided it would be best if we weren'ton it,” he answered. “Every argument from privacy to mental health is used onthe subject, so fighting them is kind of a non-starter."
