MINE

Crossing The Line

VIELLA'S POV

Soft sounds of rain against the aluminum rooftop was heard. The thick material of my duvet managed to warm me up, but my hands still trembled from how cold it was.

Winter was fast approaching, the weather was getting colder, and the rain was becoming more frequent.

I turned on my side, coming face to face with Kaelan's sculpted face–sharp, but relaxed jawline, slightly pointed nose, and slightly plump lower lips, long lashes, thick eyebrows, and fair skin, with–

“Are you ogling me?”

I cleared my throat, and laid on my back, and looked up, but I still felt his stare on the side of my face. I heard shuffling beside me, and I looked out the corner of my eyes to see Kaelan laying on his side and looking at me.

I pressed my lips together. I turned on my side and stared right at him.

His features were still prominent despite the dull lighting from my blue LED lights.

“I don't know why I'm laying here with you” I started, and my gaze drifted to the pillows acting as a barrier between us, before going back to his intense gaze.

“You don't want to?”

“No. I just broke up with my boyfriend. I should be sad.. and…depressed, I think”

His long canines admist his white teeth flashed when his lips curved in a bright smile and he let out a chuckle.

“You're not sure? Hmm…Viella that nearly had my head wants to be sure if she should be sad over her ex boyfriend? Not like you, don't you think?”

I rolled my eyes. “Firstly, I didn't nearly have your head. I just asked you to tell your people not to come close to me. Especially that girl, uh.. what's her name?”

“Kaylin?”

“Yes, her”

He just smiled, and took a deep inhale. “Well, she doesn't bother you again, no?”

I nodded shyly, and mauled on my bottom lip, while staring at him.

The room fell into a comfortable, but heated silence, as we both stared at each other. I could feel my breath getting heavy and shorter, and my skin feeling ablazed.

“Do–”

“Are–”

We pressed our lips together when we realized we intercepted the others’ speech.

“You can go first” I offered, but instead of talking, he just stared straight at me, his gaze settling and going between my neck and my lips.

“Do you still–” Kaelan moved on his shoulders, and propped himself on his elbow, as he leaned closer to me.

“Still what?”

“–love him?”

I blinked severally, and moved my lips to answer, but Kaelan leaned closer. His hot breath fanned the top of my lips, as he hovered beside me, his lips less than an inch away from mine.

I swallowed, as I stared on. The soft brush of his top lip against mine nearly had me concussed, as I fluttered my eyes shut.

Our breath became laboured, and shorter, as he closed the gap between us.

For the first second, I froze, but slowly and softly, as his lips moved, mine moved too.

I felt heat rush through every fibre of my being as my stomach tightened. My eyes were still shut, but I felt Kaelan's hand cup my neck and pull me closer.

By this time, my head was angled off my pillow, and Kaelan's body was across the barricade of pillows below and supposedly between us.

Kaelan wasted no time to cross over, and settle above me, putting his weight on his hand beside my head. I laid on my back, facing the ceiling above me, as Kaelan's kisses deepened.

“You're burning up” I breathed out, breaking the kiss, as my hand held the arm of his hand beside my head.

His brown eyes had disappeared behind bright golden hues, as his body grew hotter and hotter.

He didn't say a word, but his eyes remained on my face, glancing across my features before resting on my eyes.

“I–do you want me to leave?”

I squinted my eyes at the suddenness of his question. His hair fell across his face and tickled me a little at the end tip of my eyebrows.

“I…” I stuttered. My eyes couldn't meet his heated gaze. My hand rested on his bare chest, and I felt how rapid his heart was beating.

“Do you still love him, your ex boyfriend, I mean?” He asked, and this prompted my eyes to meet him. His expressions had changed.

His features had a pained look, mixed with hope, and fear.

I couldn't answer because I hadn't thought about it. Was I still in love with Jalyc but just angry at the fact that he slept with Louisa?

I didn't know. I didn't sit with myself, so I had no idea.

Seconds past of his unanswered question, and Kaelan gave a slight nod of his head, and eased off his position, his feet going to the floor.

“I'm sorry, I just–”

“It's okay. I'm the one who rushed. Overstepped. I'm sorry”

I let out an sigh while displaying an apologetic look. Kaelen stood in front of my bed in nothing but his joggers, leaving my mind with little to imagine.

Bro was sculpted. Even his torso looked like something a sculpter customized. f**k!

I bit my lips, as the heat trailing my skin felt like it was breathed on, and hence the intensity at which it burned.

“I don't want you to leave” I blurted out the moment he bent to pick up his shirt that sprawled on the floor.

Kaelen stood up straight and looked at me. I crawled to him on the bed, watched his eyes get heated with every move I made, and stopped when I got to the edge.

“I want you to stay. Just this night. Conscious…” I bit my lips, as breathing became harder. “...and not bleeding”

I leaned into him, crossed my arms on his shoulders, and brushed my lips against his. He faced me squarely, and placed his hands on my waist and hips, meeting my forehead with his.

“Viella…” A low growl left his lips, and I felt my middle water more than a fountain.

I angled my head, took a deep breath of his earthy scent, and kissed him.

My stomach tightened, as my insides felt like it was set on fire.

Passion, lust, need and desire pulsated through every vein in my body, every nerve sent signals that carried nothing but the feeling of all four emotions.

Our lips moved against each other, heatedly, each other us fighting for dominance.

His fingers trailed underneath my tank top, and I felt my n*****s harden. Another hand of his trailed my waist, and its finger pulled down the waist band of my gym short.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Please”
