“What we both want.”

“How can you be so sure?”

He smirks again. Before I can say anything else, he’skissing me again, this time on the neck, trailing his hot, wet tongue along it to tease me with the taste of alcohol mixed with something distinctly manly and brute. It makes me shudder in delight, and it only seems to encourage him further. He licks his way back down to my collarbone, his warm breath fanning over my neck as he does so. A shiver runs through my body as goosebumps reappear.

“You can hide how you feel but your body can’t.”He whispers in my ear before nibbling on the sensitive skin near my jawline, sending another wave of electricity coursing through me.

“Liam, if we do this. There’s no stopping this time.”I whisper, but it’s more of a plea for him to continue than anything else.

He doesn’t listen, instead pressing harder into me, making everything worse. I’m starting to get lightheaded, dizzy even, and he keeps teasing my neck, sucking on it now, his tongue brushing against my collarbone. I gasp and grab at his shirt, desperately trying to gain some sort of balance. When his lips meet mine again, I kiss back with a desperate urgency that surprises me, but it feels right. And oh my god, he tastes so good. It’s intoxicating, and my head starts spinning so fast I can hardly keep up.

He pulls me closer to him, running his tongue over my bottom lip until I open up and let him explore my mouth hungrily. His hands slide up and down my sides, caressing every inch of exposed flesh they find. The feel of him pressed up against me, ignites my lust, my desire, and my hunger. I couldn’t resist him even if I tried.

All thoughts and doubts cease aswe continue tokissfiercely, my hands sliding up under his shirt. I start unbuttoning his shirt slowly, wanting to savor every moment. He responds by biting down on my ear lobe. I whimper, suddenly growing impatient with the buttons so instead Igrabthe back of his shirt and tug it roughly up over his torso, exposing his bare chest. My fingers trail up the taut muscles on his back, tracing small patterns on his spine as he continues kissing me deeply. One of his hands travels down my side, slipping beneath the hem of my dressand up my thigh, where he grips my leg tightly. I manage to get a hold of myself just enough to stop him, pulling away.“Wait.”

He frowns at me questioningly.“What is it?”

“Last chance Liam. We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. If you need time to think—”

“I’m done thinking, Lily. I want this. I want you.” There’s an unmistakable certainty in his voice this time and that’s all the assurance I need. The look in his eyes conveys the same message as his words.

“Liam,” I whisper his name, staring into his deep blue eyes that hold mine with so much want and desire, it has me heating up already. “I want you too.”

As soon as the words leave my lips, I’m back on him, kissing him with a passion I didn’t know I was capable of. We fumble around on top of the roof with wild abandon, our tongues exploring every corner of each other's mouths. His hand slips underneath my dress again, finding its way down to the apex of my thighs as we move together in perfect synchronization. His fingers glide over the soft folds of my sex, circling my clit, lightly scratching it as his thumb rubs across my hardened nipple. I groan into his mouth, arching into his touch.

We kiss our way back inside to the sofa, where we eventually collapse onto the cushions, legs entwined. He rests his forehead against mine and looks into my eyes with such intensitythat it almost feels like he can see right through me.

“I’ve had this on my mind all evening. Damned exhibition took forever. Lord knows I would have taken you right there in the center of the room if we stayed there one second longer.”

A smile creeps up the corners of my mouth. I lean over him, pressing my lips softly against his own for several seconds.

“Show me. Show me all you’ve thought about.”I murmur into his ears, the alcohol making me more bold and confident.

“Oh sure I will.”

He pushes me backwards, the sofa creaking under our combined weight and crawls onto top of me. I don't even register what the rest of his wordsare, I'm so lost in the pleasure of his touch.

“God Liam, you’re driving me nuts.”

He slips a finger past my lips, drowning out the rest of my words and my moans. In one swift motion, he tugs at the hem of mydresspulling it off of my body. His eyes widen at the sight of me.“God, you're beautiful.”He breathes, taking in my naked figure.“I cannever get tired of looking at you.”He traces my jawline with his fingers, his gaze dropping to my breasts. Slowly, he lowers his hand, cupping it gently in his large palms, thumbs rubbing circles across the hard tips, sending waves of pleasure rippling through me. When he wraps his lips around the nipple, suckling gently at the sensitive bud, I lose any coherent thoughts my mind is capable of forming. With the alcohol already working its magic, it doesn’t take too much effort.

Liamgrunts as he kisses his way downwards, his teeth grazing across my stomach as he goes, leaving a trail of tiny hickeys in their wake.

“Can I take this off?”He asks, tugging at the hem of my panties.

I nod my consent, pushing them down my legs as he takes off his pants.

He pauses for a brief moment, looking deeply into my eyes with his intense gaze before surging forward once more, leaving trails of fiery fire in his wake. He sucks hungrily on the tip of my breast as his finger rubs circles around my clit, sending waves of pleasure through my entire system.

In no hurry, he slides his hands up the outer parts of my thighs and grips them in his hands.

Liamdips his head between my thighs, rubbing the coarse hair of his stubble along the sensitive skin before dragging his nose along my pussy and inhaling deeply.

“You smell so fucking good, Lily. Your body screams perfection.”Using his fingers, he parts my lips, exposing my throbbing clit, and then flicks it with his tongue.

“Dear God, you’re driving me nuts Liam,”I whimper.

In response, my back arches from the couch, and my hands find his hair to pull him closer to me. Without warning, he spreads me wide open and begins devouring me like a starved man eating his last meal. Alternating between rough and fast strokes, he flicks my clit with his tongue, then takes it between his lips and sucks, flattening his tongue and licking me from ass to clit, over and over.
