Excerpt
We clashed together like a tragic wreck. It was wet and
hard, his lips taking mine and crushing them. I moaned into his mouth and his
grip on my throat tightened. The pressure wasn't enough to cut off air, but I
felt his touch and no one else's.
Atlas kissed like he lived. He was powerful and forceful,
taking whatever he wanted. His tongue parted my lips and I opened to him. I
felt the rumble in his chest when he tasted me. His hand squeezed tighter and I
welcomed the pleasurable pain. It was exciting and daring at the same time; a
toxic mixture.
I squeezed my knees together, pinning his hips between my
shaky legs. His body was hard and hot on mine. Atlas grabbed behind my knee and
pulled, making me slide down to the floor. He never once released my lips as he
lowered me to the floor and hovered over my body. The tile was cold on my back,
cooling me down as I was burning up.
I could feel him all over me, although he was only touching
my lips and neck. He devoured my mouth and I let him. If I could remember these
touches and this moment in the house, maybe I could keep my sanity. Something
less devastating to concentrate on and relive in my memories.
Growing bold, or impatient, I put my hands on his shoulders.
The muscles flexed under my palms, and I loved the powerful feeling. His hand
tightened on my throat when I dug my nails into his back. Atlas was holding
back and restraining himself. I could feel it in his body. He could easily
break me into a thousand pieces.
"This is a bad idea, Little Star," he said with
his lips brushing mine. "I will hurt you. That's what I do."
"I'm already hurt," I whispered back.
Atlas pulled away to look down at me. He took in my lips
that were red and swollen from his kisses. My neck that was under his hand,
covering any marks. He watched my chest heaving and panting under my wet shirt.
Without warning, he gripped the neckline with both hands and
tore the shirt down the middle. He pulled it open and lowered his lips to the
skin between my breasts. I gasped when his tongue tasted me. I squirmed under
him, but he pinned me with his body. I was trapped again. No matter what I did,
Atlas had me trapped. I'm wasn't sure I cared at that moment.
"You think I can make you feel better?" he asked,
his mouth trailing down my stomach.
I couldn't answer him. I didn't know if I thought I would
feel better. I might feel numb. I could feel less angry. Was someone who only
brought me pain and fear capable of taking away those feelings as well? Even he
said himself, he hurts. All I knew was that right then, I didn't feel any of
that.
I opened my eyes and watched as Atlas licked and sucked his
way back up my stomach. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the glint of metal
on the floor.
His gun.
