Adrian's Wrath(16)

By:Jenika Snow


It was about an hour-and-a-half drive, so, stripping off his sweat-soaked clothes, he cleaned the blood off. For the first time since Addie’s death, Adrian felt excitement for the next day.





Chapter Seven




When Adrian pulled his truck onto the strip of asphalt that overlooked the beach, Brea couldn’t contain the excitement bubbling inside of her. It still surprised her that she had agreed to go, and even shocked her that she suggested they spend the night. A lot of things could happen tonight, and she might have been a little nervous about that, but she was also looking forward to it. The month since meeting Adrian had opened up a lot of feelings inside of her. Deep down she knew sleeping with Adrian was the worst thing she could possibly do, but God did she want him. So freaking bad.

She had lived less than two hours from the beach but had never ventured out to it despite her desire to do so. The wall she had erected had crumbled when she allowed Adrian to pick her up at her house. For that one moment when she saw him pull into her driveway her heart had raced with fear, but once she saw him emerge from the vehicle and walk up to her with a smile on his face, that fear had dissolved and unadulterated happiness took its place. Adrian was not Cameron and she needed to remember that.

The weeks were passing and she was thoroughly enjoying her time with Adrian. He was changing things in her. Their kissing had since moved up to light touches, but the ache between her thighs was slowly growing. Oh, she had felt Adrian’s desire to be with her, all of his impressive inches, but there was always something that stopped them from going any further. Maybe it was a sign from above that she shouldn’t go any further. Or maybe she needed to tell that sign to shut the fuck up because she deserved this. Deserved to be happy.

Even now she was wet, and on more than one occasion she found herself lying on her bed, thinking of Adrian and rubbing herself to completion. She wanted him, desperately, and she was going to take that next step. The only memories she had that were associated with sex were painful and riddled with fear. It was getting easier to let that wall down as well, but she worried that once she finally left she would have to rebuild it.

Turning in her seat, she pushed away all of her worries and beamed up at him. “You took me to the beach.” It wasn’t a question. His smile was lopsided and he reached a hand out and caressed her cheek. Brea couldn’t help but lean into his embrace.

“Come here, Brea.” His words were low and slightly husky and she could see the desire growing on Adrian’s expression. Instantly she became aroused. Nipples tightening to the point of pain, she squirmed in her seat as her panties started to become soaked.

Thankfully his truck allowed for her to scoot over easily. She did, however, have to lift her leg over the gearshift. She was wearing a dress today and her movements caused the material to shift up her thighs. When she lifted her gaze to his she noticed he was staring at the patch of skin that was exposed. He swallowed audibly and then snapped his eyes to hers. His grin was almost sheepish and she couldn’t help but lean into his chest to hide her own smile.

“Brea.” He whispered her name and used his finger to lift her chin. His face was close to hers, so close that if she just craned her neck a little more their mouths would brush together.

“Yes?” God she wanted him to kiss her, desperately. She had never been the one to initiate their physical contact, but maybe that should change? Lifting her hand and cupping his cheek, a heady feeling washed through her when she saw him close his eyes and sigh. She didn’t waste any more time or deny herself any longer. She pressed her lips to his, loving the small growl that he made from the contact. The kiss started off slow and easy, but soon he was taking control. Tongues moving together, the act mimicked the sex she wanted to have with him. As the kiss intensified, she knew she wanted more. Her body positively ached for him, but before it got any more heated, Adrian slowed the kiss and then pulled away. He rested his forehead against hers, breathing heavily with his eyes closed. When he pulled away it was too soon. Brea wanted more.

“I’m sorry.” He ran his hand over his jaw and stared out the windshield. She couldn’t take her eyes off him as the setting sun washed his face in hues of pink and yellow. “I’m trying to go slow but it’s so damn hard.” He cut a glance at her. “I want you too much.”

Her heart stopped. As she licked her lips, Adrian tracked the movement and another groan left him. Adrenaline rushed through her body at the way he was watching her. Hearing him confess how much he wanted her had her arousal accelerating. She knew she wanted more, but when she actually went for it would she freeze and blow everything? She didn’t like keeping things from him, and she had a lot of shit from her past that would most likely have him running in the other direction. Could she be selfish and just let herself enjoy it? Even if it was just for a little while?
