Heli: Oh I love this one. Why can't you hurry up and figure out what you're doing wrong so we can actually work on it!?
Rhage: You can't rush perfection.
Heli: You're an ass.
Rhage: Asscricket. Get it right. *chirps and smirks*
Heli:…wtf?
Open." he whispered in my ear and I felt my eyes roll upwards. Why? Why couldn't he just stay in his hotel room like a good mafia boss so that I could do my job and guard him? I looked at him from the corner of my eye, those golden eyes sparkling down at me as he leaned against the doorway, a piece of chocolate pinched between his fingers. He held it towards me with that soft smile he always wore.
"Please go back into your room, sir." I said with a sigh. I could feel the throb start up behind my eye again when he ignored me (as usual) and I knew I would be popping more pain killers soon. His elegant fingers with their piece of heaven came closer.
"Open." Dino said again and I turned my head to tell him, again, to get back in his room when he slipped the chocolate onto my tongue, his fingers slipping under my chin to close my mouth with a soft click. Why that pompous...yum. I gave him a hard look that said I was not pleased with his trickery as I sucked on the tiny square of decadence, my weakness.
"You can continue lecturing me if you'd like, Miri, or you can come in and have some more." I let the chocolate melt on my tongue for a few more seconds as I contemplated that fallen angel face of his then (sadly) I bit into the chunk and swallowed it.
"Please return to your room, sir." I arched an eyebrow for emphasis. Dino stepped out of the doorway, his body crowding mine against the wall as he lifted an arm to rest it over my head. My heart immediately jumped into my throat when he lowed his face towards mine.
"Miri when will you stop thinking only about your job?" He asked gently, his eyes moving back and forth between mine like he was searching for the answer. I gulped.
"I was hired as your bodyguard. To stop thinking about my job would put you in danger." Dino pressed his cheek against my hair, his warm breath fluttering against the shell of my ear.
"Maybe that's what we need a bit of." he offered as his finger trailed up my neck and along my jawline. I couldn't speak when he pulled back just far enough for our noses to brush before those delicate fingers tipped my face up. Dino's lips were soft when they brushed mine, first one swipe and then another before he settled down then set me on fire from my toes to my scalp. My thoughts vanished entirely when his mouth took over, his tongue teasing until my lips gave way. He slipped in and I was lost, my hands fluttering uselessly until they caught on the lapels of his jacket. His body closed the space between us and the intimate contact wrenched me back to reality. I shoved Dino away with a gasp as I tried to run only to stumble to my knees.
"Miri!" he reached for me, the worry on his face so plain but I was oblivious to anything but my terror.
"No!" I choked out before staggering to my feet then down the hall. Never again...
