Page 136 of One More Kiss
Chapter6
Even as exhaustedas I was, I still tossed and turned for a little bit before I finally fell asleep. Too bad it didn’t last long. The next thing I know someone has me pinned to my bed, and before I can scream a large hand is covering my mouth.
“Baby girl, have you lost your fucking mind?” Axe growls down at me. My body sags in relief when I hear his voice. He leans down and rest his forehead against mine. “I never again want to feel the fear and panic I just felt when I woke up and you were gone. You better be glad Mrs. Lawson had already texted me that you had come home and was safe or I don’t know what I would have done. Damnit Tink you can’t keep scaring me like this.”
“I’m sorry.” I try to say but his hand is still covering my mouth.
In one quick move he flips over onto his back, taking me with him so I’m now laying on top of him. I try to move but he locks me in place with his body. One of his legs comes up to cover both of mine. One hand has a tight hold on my hip, while the other hand is anchored into my hair only letting me move my head where he wants me to move it.
My heart is about to bust out of my chest it’s racing so fast. Everything that’s happening should have me scared to death. Yet, the only thing that is scaring me is the look on Axe’s face. It’s a look of rage, lust, determination, and love. Yes, I see the look of love on his face and in his eyes. How have I not seen this before?
“You love me?” I blurt out. The smile that comes across his face lets me know I’m not wrong at all.
“Took you long enough to figure it out. I would have told you sooner, but I couldn’t have you running away from me. Baby girl, you’ve become my whole life. Everything about me has to do with you. You are the reason I get up every morning. You’re the reason I make it through each day. You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me Tink.”
He gently guides my head down to his and gives me the most intense kiss I’ve ever had in my life. I genuinely believe our souls connected in that moment. When he pulled away I wanted nothing more than to do it again, but the sweet forehead kiss he gave me before resting my head on his chest, made me feel cherished and loved. Yes, right this second I feel loved by Axe.
We laid there in silence for a while. Neither one of us were in a rush to start discussing what this meant for us, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t thinking about it. Are we going to start slow and just go on a few dates to see how we like it? Are we going to rush into this by me moving in with him or something like that? The weird part is that neither one of these ideas scare me. Slow or fast, I think I’m ready for either. Or maybe I’m just ready for Axe.
“You know everything is going to change right?” I ask him a few minutes later.
“Only for the good, baby girl, only for the good.” He kisses my forehead again before letting me slide off of him so I can cuddle up next to him and get some sleep. With Axe’s arms around me it didn’t take long for me to fall asleep.
