each touch, press, nip and tug.
His arm wrapped around her waist tightly, his fingers splaying and keeping her attached to him. Melinda broke their mouth apart and pulled her head back.
“Riley, let’s just promise to be honest with each other.” She pushed out the words before she lost the courage to say them. Before her brain had time to process their meaning.
He answered by rolling her onto her back and draping his body over her. Their eyes met. Stared. Took each other in.
Her heart skipped a few beats. Time coming to a stop. Again.
Her brain catching up to what she had just said to him. She had just promised to be honest with him.
Why did I do that?
William…
Shit.
I can’t have William.
So that means you just pretend he doesn’t exist?
Not fair! Her thoughts battled.
And pretending you don’t have feelings for William is fair to the guy you just promised to be honest with? Who just admitted he needed honesty. Who opened himself up enough to tell you what he needed.
What’s the point of telling Riley about a vampire I can’t have?
Okay, so what about being a witch?
I can’t tell him that yet either.
I think he can handle it. I really do.
But what if he can’t?
Why did you promise to be honest? You’re an idiot! A heartless frigging idiot.
Shit… why did I promise him?
Because it’s what he wanted to hear.
That’s the first honest thing you’ve said…
Stupid brain. Just shut up!
Hello! This isn’t your brain talking, it’s your conscious!
No, it’s all hormones.
If Riley could hear this argument, he’d run away and never come back again!
Why don’t you just try to be honest with him? Open up a little… it might turn out okay. It might turn out great… you’re going to have to be honest and open up at some point.
Instead, she grabbed hold of Riley’s lips with her own, before he could sense or question the silent struggle raging in her brain. Jolts awakened every nerve, crawling along her skin leaving behind a trail of yearning and urgency.
He pulled away, out of breath. His voice seductive. “Can I touch you again, Melinda? It’s much too fun for me…”
“Me too,” she told him. See. I can be honest…
Only because it’s an easy thing to say yes to. There’s no lingering consequence other than instant gratification. And so what? You like being felt up! That’s a real big honest reveal… dumbass!
Riley’s hand dove underneath her dress.
Melinda shuddered underneath him. The silent battle dissolving into a buzz surging through her.
No wait, it wasn’t her.
A cross look whipped across her face. Her phone was buzzing, vibrating against the ground nearby. Her heart sank. Somehow, the way this buzz zinged into her brain, her day was about to be ruined.
She tried to ignore the phone, but it refused to stop buzzing.
Riley stole his hand away from her hot and ready center, reached into her sweater pocket and grabbed the phone for her, holding it up to her ear, all without losing contact with her brooding eyes.
“Hello,” she grumbled into the speaker.
“Melinda. Where are you? It’s Michael. Do you know where Charlie is? I can't seem to reach him.” His panicked voice forced Melinda out of her love stupor. She sighed, pushing Riley up. He helped her sit up and then to her feet.
“Sorry,” she whispered to him. “My brother... just give me a minute.” She collected her head and walked out of the cavern.
Riley rolled over onto his back, closing his eyes.
“Michael, what's wrong? And no, I have no idea where Charlie is. He was at home when I left a few hours ago.”
“He's not answering his phone. But, well, there's a bit of a problem.”
“What do you mean? I thought you were having lunch with Mr. Jordan.”
“Yes. We did meet up with him, but then something happened .”
Melinda heard what she thought was Emily's voice in the background.
“Spit it out already, Michael. I don’t have a lot of time.”
Michael groaned and explained.
His arm wrapped around her waist tightly, his fingers splaying and keeping her attached to him. Melinda broke their mouth apart and pulled her head back.
