"I'm going to kiss you now." His voice came out of nowhere.
She flipped herself around, her heart jumping threadily to see Jade's eyes were a burning red. He stood only mere inches from her and the sudden invasion of her personal space caused her to back away, making her bump into the hallway table.
She had never been this close to him before. The sight of his face--eyes, nose, and mouth--so striking, thudded into her like the rhythm of her heartbeat which was currently running on high speed. She could smell some sort of aftershave on him and suddenly it was like she had been given half a lethal dose of caffeine. The ground stumbled underneath her and her hands grasped for some sort of purchase to stop herself from falling over.
How could she get out of this? And then suddenly he was on her before she could really think about that. His hand was on her cheek, not gloved like it usually was. The roughness of his palm, those strong fingers calloused from weapon use made it tingle. She could feel the heat of him through that jacket he always had to wear. She wanted to rip the damn thing off of him. Even though the button digging into her tummy was doing weird things to her insides.
His first kiss was more different than she could ever imagine. It wasn't like him. It was soft and hot and wet. She wanted to melt in the heat of his mouth. His lips stroked her and they were perfectly soft, like he had used lip balm. She knew hers were chapped because she hadn't been drinking as much water as she---? Why was she thinking about this anyway? And another stroke of those lips and she was electrified. Her nerves were more than tingling, they were sending charges down her body in waves. She crashed in each wave like a surfer who had suddenly lost his balance in a tsunami.
Only sort of aware of what she was doing, she stepped closer into his body, so that she could feel every inch of his torso against hers. The hand that had been against her face fell away and pulled her so close it felt like there wasn't enough room between them to breathe. The buttons of his jacket pushed into her breasts and her hips with more strange friction. Arms that were thankfully free reached up to pull his long hair into her hands. She didn't pull, though. Instead she let his hair spread through her fingers till she reached his scalp and pulled him into a deeper kiss. Stroking his lips with her tongue, she found herself gasping when he suddenly pulled away from her.
She tried to regulate her breathing. Certainly, Jade didn't look as messed up as she was feeling right now.
