For Your Eyes Only

Chapter 37
The ride to the hotel was unbearable. I couldn’t get her text out of my mind. She usually avoided the topic of sex completely, so I didn’t push it. But… she hadn’t said no. She’d said we’d talk about it. That was a lot of hope for me. Maybe she’d let me taste her again, at least. I remembered the image of her coming undone beneath me. I remembered her fingers in my hair and her lips on my neck after.
Now that we were in the one-bed room, the tension was almost painful. I was stood by the window as she was in the toilet washing off her make-up and pulling her hair back. She had been with me long enough where she felt completely comfortable looking like she’d just rolled out of bed around me, but that was my favorite look of hers anyway.
“Ni?” she asked softly, linking her fingers into mine. I turned my head from the of the city-scape. She smiled shyly up at me, still in the gorgeous pink dress. “Where are you?” she whispered. I almost forgot to answer as she ran her hands lightly up my bare chest, locking them around my neck. My skin tingled where her touch had just been.
“I’m right here.” I leaned down and kissed her neck, resting my hands on her petite waist. She was the perfect size, everywhere. I knew she didn’t like her weight. I’d seen it in her eyes whenever I wrapped my arms around her stomach. But I thought she was perfect.
“No you’re not. You’re somewhere else. Where are you?” she asked again. I pulled back and studied her beautiful face in the light of the setting sun. I swear she was an angel. I hesitated to reply, unsure of how she’d react.
“Back in the hospital,” I whispered, returning to my place on her collar bone. She let out a small gasp when I sucked on the edge of the bone at the base of her neck and tightened her arms around my own. She knew exactly what I was talking about. I slid my hands down to her bum and squeezed, pulling her body flush to mine. I kissed her jaw, then her forehead, and finally I pressed my lips to her mouth. She moaned as my hand found its way to her inner thigh and began to slide upward. Her body began to tremble in my arms. She leaned her forehead into my shoulder and whimpered slightly.
I wrapped my free hand around her waist and walked her backwards until we hit the wall, pausing at one point to close the curtains. Finally I pressed my palm against her center, causing a strangled cry to release from her throat. Her hips jerked involuntarily, and I caught her, lifting her up and wrapping her legs around my waist. I felt her unsteadily dragging her soft lips across my neck, leaving wet kiss on the heated skin. I suddenly let out a deep moan as she sucked hard on the spot just below my ear, setting off my blood rushing straight between my legs. She continued to suck and bite until I was positive there’d be a mark there in the morning. I returned the favor, leaving a good-sized mark in the same spot on her own neck.
“N-Niall, make love to me,” she whimpered, grinding her hips against my growing bulge. I growled, pressing against her for more friction. She felt so right against my body, but I forced myself to hold back.
“Annie, are you-” I couldn’t finish my question as she grabbed my wrist between her thighs and pushed up until I could feel the liquid desire soaking through her panties.
“I’m sure,” she gasped.
