“Why?” My voice dropped to a whisper. “Do you like it?”
He stood in front of me, a mere inch away. So close, I
could feel the warmth of him. He smelled clean…his
aftershave and favorite cologne mixed with his manly scent.
I’d recognize his scent anywhere, even in a crowded room.
Maddox took another step, until our bodies were flushed
against each other. His breath skated over my cheeks. I
could smell the mint on his breath, and I’d bet he had gum
hidden somewhere in his mouth. “I like it too much.”
I swallowed, my mouth was suddenly dry, and my tongue
didn’t seem to work. “Um… can… you help me?”
There was a single heartbeat, a short second, a
throbbing moment, before his hand came around my hips.
Maddox turned me around, so I was facing the mirror. With
my back against his front, we stared at each other.
There was a look in his eyes, the intensity of his blue
gaze unnerved me. Eye contact was a dangerous,
dangerous thing. It spoke a thousand unsaid words; words
we were too scared to speak.
His fingers skimmed over my bare back, and I fought
back a shiver. My toes curled around the soft carpet, and
my eyes fluttered shut as his head lowered to my neck. His
lips whispered over my skin, and his teeth grazed my
shoulders sharply, before laving his tongue over the bite.
I felt him inhale, breathing me in.
I exhaled a shuddering breath in response.
My heart catapulted in my chest when his lips ghosted
behind my ear, a tender kiss. I didn’t want him to stop
touching me. There was magic in his touch, I was dizzy and
drunk on Maddox.
His fingers worked the thin straps, and he tied a single
knot, before his hands landed on my hips again. “Black is
your color, but white makes you look like an angel who has
descended on earth. Although, instead of bringing peace,
you’re wreaking havoc on my heart.”
Thud. Thud. Thud.
