MAKE YOU MINE

She knew that Dimitri was right. She wanted him all right, but she was seriously overthinking the consequences that this decision could have on her.

It was different when she didn’t know who he was, but now, even when she knew, her feelings didn’t change one bit. She wanted to be with him, and she was considering his suggestion that they spend the night together.

The car sped through the night, smooth and silent, the darkness of the interior ensuring their privacy and increasing the intimacy. And again, Kelly made a wild decision.

Dimitri was staring out the window too, and he had one hand on the car seat. Kelly watched him for a few seconds and then slowly, she let her hand slide to his. Gently she stroked his wrist with her fingers, and she felt Dimitri tense immediately.

Dimitri didn’t turn to look at her, because he wasn’t really sure she was touching him on purpose. And he was almost sure the touch had been a mistake, But then, she slid her palm into his. And when an electrical charge sizzled up his arm and straight to his cock, he knew he was a goner. Only pride kept him from jerking his hand away from hers.

He shifted his gaze from the window to their clasped hands, and then to her eyes, expecting to see the same shock. Instead he saw want…. Need… Lust.

“Yes” she whispered.

“What?” Dimitri asked, his voice hoarse and thick with lust. He knew exactly what she was saying yes to, but he wanted to hear her say it. That she wanted him too… As much as he wanted her. “What are you saying yes to, Kelly?”

She sucked in a shaky breath, letting go of her pride, because she wanted to be honest to herself. This was what she wanted, and she couldn’t change it, no matter how much she wanted to.

“I want to spend the night with you” she said, then she added quickly, “But just for tonight. We get it all out tonight”

Dimitri’s gaze dipped to her hand once again, then slowly he lifted their hands and pressed a kiss to the back of her hand. His gaze lifted until it met her eyes. A shiver rippled through her, and he didn’t miss it.

“My heart isn’t good, Kelly. I’m selfish. Greedy. Spoiled. And if you knew the thoughts in my head right now, about you, you would remove your hand from mine. You said no before… But now… You have to be certain that you want this too” he warned.

She didn’t remove her hand. Even though her heart thudded against her sternum, she didn’t heed his warning.

“Go on and ask me,” he murmured, and her breath caught in her lungs at the sin in his voice. “You’re thinking about it. I can see that in those pretty brown eyes. Ask me what thoughts are in my head.”

Here in the darkened car, the caution that ruled her life started to unravel. That small, low whisper encouraging her to take grew in volume, in strength. In this car, cut off from the real world, with only the man she fantasized about, she was Eve reaching for the apple even knowing she shouldn’t. Knowing that traveling down this path with him would be one of the biggest mistakes of her life… She bit the apple.

“What are your thoughts about me?” she asked the question barely there.

“Are you sure?” he pressed. When she nodded, he did, as well. “I think you are so fucking sexy. At the party I couldn’t stop watching you… I didn’t want to stop. There is something about you that’s so captivating. Watching you walk is pure sex. The confident stride of those legs that mesmerize a man. Give him thoughts of how they would clasp him in their strong embrace. The sensual sway of hips I want to dig my fingers into while I press you close and take your mouth that was created to be claimed, corrupted. I have been with you twice, but it’s hardly enough…. I don’t know if I’m ever going to have enough. Corruption. Sin. Desire in flesh. And I want to kneel in front of you and beg you to consign me to your hell. Because I want to burn in you. With you.”

Oh God.

Desire, scorching hot and out of control, blazed a path from her belly, up her chest and to every limb of her body. Consuming her. With just words, he caused her nipples to tighten, her sex to spasm in need. Thank God she was sitting, because her trembling legs wouldn’t have supported her. Not when the blood in her veins had become liquid lust. Not when the breath in her lungs had evaporated into smoke.

I want to kneel in front of you… Because I want to burn in you. With you.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Memories came flooding back. Now, she could do nothing but picture him on his knees in front of her, that proud head tilted back, his amazing eyes fixed on her. His fingers clasping the tab of her zipper and steadily lowering… She closed her eyes, not to block out the image but to dwell on it.

“Kelly” Gentle but firm fingers pinched her chin and lifted her head. “Look at me,” Dimitri ordered, and she did. When she stared into his amazing eyes, he nodded. “Your turn. Tell me something nobody knows. Something that will stay here in this car,” he said.

Could she do this only for tonight? Slap the time-out button and live brashly, without a thought for the consequences? Who would she hurt?

Maybe just herself once morning dawned. But she was prepared to walk out of here accepting that when she returned to work, he would go back to the guy she was trying to stop from ruining her father’s company. If she could have this slice of time with Dimitri, then she’d deal with whatever happened later.

“I like tequila shots,” she whispered. “What no one knows is you’re like that hit of tequila. Potent as hell, hot and strong like the first punch of alcohol to the stomach-and I’ll gladly get drunk on it, on you, even knowing I’ll be hungover and remorseful in the morning.”

The silence between them thickened and heated. His grip on her chin tightened, and the slight pressure drew a gasp from her. His eyes. They seemed to glow with the same need that snapped inside of her. His skin tautened across his cheekbones, his sensual, full mouth flattening into a firm line.
