Chapter 17: Has anyone kissed you like this?
Maddie
"Maddie," he says, closing his eyes to control himself.
"You say others hurt me, but it was you who did it all! It was you who pushed me into the woods and tried to attack me. I was sure you were going to kill me!" I tell him, struggling to free myself.
I feel his body close to me and once again it's as if my mind is clouding over. I can tell by his expression that he is suffering.
"That was a mistake, Maddie..."
"And then you lock me up, your brother pushes me and I almost fall down the stairs..."
"That was an accident!" he shouts, and it's obvious that no one ever tells him things to his face and the truth. I guess everyone is afraid of the big bad wolf.
"It was my birthday, did you know? You ruin everything you touch...and you want to ruin me too."
"Don't say that, please... don't turn against us," he says, he takes my face and I quickly take his hand away, and he doesn't know what to do.
"I have only known horror and abuse from your kind... Do you think you're going to buy me with a closet full of brand-new clothes, makeup and other nonsense? I've barely seen my friend..."
"Maddie, please, we just need some time. We need to know if you will give this a chance..." he says.
I really can't believe this. I'm convinced that these men hate me and suddenly... they want us to try something together?
"Let me go...that's the only way I'll trust you."
"I can't do that, Maddie, and you know it..."
"I just want to be with my friend, my family and my boyfriend," I say, and that seems to drive him crazy.
"You will never be with him again, do you understand? Your place is here with us..." he says threateningly, but I remain firm.
"You haven't even accepted me. You talk about all this, but you keep me hidden."
"You are ours...you will always be ours," he says, and suddenly he grabs my face and kisses me.
Oh my God! The kiss feels like an explosion of a thousand fireworks, all his warmth surrounds me, his hands feel wonderful on my face, and then he takes the back of my neck to hold the kiss.
My lips seem to have a life of their own and instead of holding back or even pushing him away, I let myself be carried away by this delicious sensation. When he sees that I accept the kiss, he embraces me and pulls me to his body.
I don't know what Dominic, the middle one of the three dragons, smells like, but it's wonderful. Partly he smells like the forest, but it's a whole series of wonders that I can't contain.
My hands go to his back and I feel the softness of his shirt as he takes me in one motion and sits me down on the table, putting himself between my legs.
His hands now go down my back, my neck, they tangle in my hair, go down my shoulder and waist, and begin to go down my thigh and calf.
He touches me so intensely over my dress, as if he knows he has little time, as if he knows he has to make the most of this moment that won't come again.
His lips are soft and sensual, and his tongue does a fantastic dance with mine. I can hear him growling and moaning in his chest as he presses closer to me and my legs wrap around him to keep him from pulling away.
"Mate..." he purrs while he doesn't let go of me.
I can't breathe, and I really don't care. A small part of my mind is completely ecstatic that the most desirable guy in school is here, kissing me, pinning me down in a small kitchen with unbridled passion.
It felt like another life, another moment that won't exist again. I feel his hand slip inside my dress and up my knee and thigh, and I gasp, and he seems pleased.
Suddenly we hear footsteps and I move away as if I am afraid someone will find us.
Logan? The doctor? Robin? What will happen if they find us?
He seems to understand that we have to separate. Maybe it was just a simple impulse or a crazy outburst, although he continues to hold me.
"Tell me, Maddie... has your supposed human boyfriend ever kissed you like this? Has anyone ever kissed you like this in your life?" he whispers into my neck as he runs the tip of his nose along my cheek, and when he looks at me, his pupils are dilated and his gaze is dark.
I try to control my racing heart and hold on to the table as tight as I can.
"I..." my dress is lifted to my knees. Anyone who walked in would know what we were doing, one quick glance and they'd see my underwear.
We argued and ended up in a passionate kiss.
"You don't even have to answer me, I already know," he says, placing a finger near my neckline where my heart is pounding.
"Your heart is beating like never before, your lips are flushed, and your breathing is ragged. And your scent, little mate... it betrays you," he says.
I feel his hand near my groin; I'm with my legs spread, Dominic in the middle. I feel his hand there, his thumb lightly touching that intimate part, pressing gently, marking his territory without shame, moving over the fabric of my panties, following the shape of my center.
He must know I'm wet and this touch makes me tremble. It's ridiculous.
"We'll see each other soon... mate, this isn't over. I will control you this time... not the other way around, I promise" he says, running his finger over his lips in satisfaction.
Seconds later, I see the doctor come in to get some coffee, pretending not to see me sitting on the table, completely disheveled. I close my legs and sigh, taking the coffee with shaking hands.
Dominic had left me even more lost and confused, and without a doubt, completely aroused.
And I realized that I wanted more, much more.
