Chapter 26
Chapter 26
My body feels like it’s on fire and alive at the same time. He’s awakened the fire in me. It’s
so hot that I feel like I can burn his skin if I really want to. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
But I don’t think that’s entirely true; Adam possesses the power to control the fire in me.
He somehow knows how to heat me and cool me down at the same time.
I grab the back of his head and push his mouth harder against my neck. He doesn’t stop kissing me there. “I’ll let every f*****g man who comes near you know who’s been here first.”
I feel an instant wetness between my legs from his words. I should be angry; I should be
pushing him away. I’m not an object; I’m not someone that willingly gives herself to random men just for pleasure. I just said those things to anger him; I may have succeeded in doing that, but I wasn’t sure if this was the reaction I was hoping for.
He grips the side of my neck, and I almost die when he presses his mouth against my lips.
Immediately I see images of the both of us in the sky, Adam with breathtaking wings, half white, half black, and then there was me with my blazing red wings. Before I can make out what’s happening, the images disappear in a flash.
I don’t have time to ponder over those images when his mouth closes down on my bottom lip. Adam sucks my lip like an expert; I know that he’s done this a million times before, and that bothers me but not enough to stop this from happening.
His hands travel down the side of my breasts and don’t stop until he reaches my bare legs. It’s like he wants to leave his mark there now that he knows another man has touched me there. This feels nothing
like when Jackson touched me, however. My skin holds onto every single caress from him, like it’s dying for a taste, a touch, anything as long as it’s from Adam.
He pulls away from my lips but doesn’t stop there. He travels down my body until he stops above my leg. What was he doing? I don’t have time to prepare when his lips touch my skin there. I gasp and hold onto his hair for the support I didn’t think I would need right now. I pull on his thick strands as he begins to suck on my thigh. My eyes roll back in my head as my panties start to soak from how turned on I am by this. His mouth is warm against me and I’ve never felt this kind of passion before; it’s almost too much for me to handle.
He travels higher again until he stops at the slit by my hips, “you should have never worn
something this revealing.”
Was he genuinely commenting on my outfit at a time like this? Before I could argue, he presses his mouth against the exposed skin and begins his incredible sucking motion some more. His hands against my waist, squeezing and pushing me tighter against his body,
Adam was experienced; of course, he would know exactly what to do to make a woman go completely insane.
Totally surprising me, he stops midway and pulls away from me. He opens the door and jumps out of the jeep before I can say anything.
“f**k!” he growls as he slams his fist against the vehicle.
W-what just happened?
My body is trembling when I exit the vehicle and stand next to him.
Our gazes lock, and his jaw tightens, “you’re not that type of woman, Amiera. You don’t wear clothes like this; you don’t curse, you obey your parents, you don’t let random men touch
you, you’re a good girl. Don’t let anyone change that about you.”
My lips part. Did he mean to tell me not to let him change the person I was? Or did he mean to say to me not to let what Bryan and Aria did affect the person I was? I don’t have time to respond when Lizzie appears before us from out of nowhere. Where did she come from? And how long was she standing there? Did she hear what Adam said to me?
“Isn’t that your siblings looking for you?” she asks roughly. She’s not lying; Noah and Belle
are indeed searching the parking lot for me. Did they see Adam pull me out of there? He didn’t
exactly try to hide what he did from anyone. I’m sure someone must have seen. Jackson, for
one, did see everything. Would he tell everyone what he saw?
I don’t waste any time as I rush back into the house before they can spot me. It would be trouble if they saw me out here with Adam and Lizzie.
I wait for them to reenter the house before revealing myself to them.
“Where have you been?” Noah asks me with concern.
“What do you mean?” I ask. “I’ve been here all along. Maybe you missed me when I went to
use the washroom.”
Thankfully, they seem to believe that lie.
“You look a little flushed,” my sister points out. “Do you want to go home?”
Inod without a second thought. I needed to leave this place immediately; I was feeling too many emotions in public right now.
She nods and pulls me out of the party with her, Noah, right behind us. I search the parking lot for any signs of Lizzie and Adam, but they’re already gone.
Lizzie is losing her mind in front of me, and I know now that she knows what happened
inside that jeep.
“What’s going on, Adam?” she demands. “What is it that you aren’t telling me?”
Ishrug my shoulders, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just trying to gain
Amiera’s trust.”
“Are you sure about that?” she demands. “Because that’s not what it looks like to me. You’re supposed to be gaining her trust, not sticking your tongue down her throat!” she shouts. “And was that all that happened, or did you stick your do*kin her too?”
“Watch your tongue!” I growl.
“What?” she snaps. “Did that anger you? How do you think I felt when I heard you tell her not to change for anyone that she’s a good girl. What the hell was that, Adam? If we want her on our side, she needs to change; she needs to be the woman she isn’t right now. You’re giving
her advice that could spoil our plans for good. Are you even thinking?”
I’m not sure what that was either. I never thought the day would come where I would tell the flaming whisperer to continue being a good girl. I can’t explain what happened to me; being near Amiera makes
me weak. The books weren’t lying; she would make things difficult for me. One kiss, and I’m already forgetting everything I stand for.
Irun a hand over my head and face Lizzie, “you’re not giving me a chance to explain myself. You’re mistaken; everything I’ve said and done is only to get her on our side. Right now,
she’s vulnerable. That’s where I need to be nice to her, Amiera hasn’t discovered her powers nor the confidence that she needs to unleash everything within her. She needs me there for that, and she needs to think that I’m a friend, not an enemy.”
Lizzie sighs, “I’m not sure that I can trust you anymore. I know what I saw out there. She didn’t look like the vulnerable one; you did. I’m not going to sit back and let you ruin our plans. We’ve been working on this too long just to let it slip through our fingers.”
s**t! What the f**k did I do? The last thing I needed was Lizzie not trusting me. We were a
team.
I walk towards her and grip her shoulders. “I promise you that I’m not going to blow this. When have I not kept my word? You don’t have anything to worry about. I’m sure that you can see she’s already warming up to me. Doesn’t that already prove that my plan is working? Very soon, she would trust me, and that’s what we need.”
Lizzie sighs but eventually agrees, “okay, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt because I
“You have nothing to worry about,” I promise her
I needed to get these emotions in check before I blew everything.
