I tugged at his sleeve harder, but Kellion was already striding towards the ATM machine. He positioned his face right in front of the machine’s built-in camera. “This is Kellion Argyros—”
What was he doing?
“I’m just going to make my beautiful girl come, and I’d rather not have an audience while I’m at it.” That said, he took off his jacket and hung it on top of the machine, the sleeve falling down to cover the camera.
When I got over my shock, I nearly fell in my haste to reach him. I tugged on the back of his shirt.
Kellion faced me. “What is it, baby?” He noticed my panicky expression. “Relax, I promise they’re not going to see anything.”
My jaw dropped. That is not the point!
But Kellion was moving again, this time walking to the other CCTV camera, a dome-type unit mounted in the corner. He waved his hand. “I’m Kellion Argyros. I need this place to be private. You can get your crew to install a replacement unit in about…” He checked his watch. “Two hours?” He pulled his fist back. “So, I’m going to smash this camera now, ne?”
Smash.
I jumped in shock.
Kellion turned to me.
I slowly shook my head.
He started forward.
I shook my head more vehemently even as I tried to comprehend what had just happened. Had he really—
I let out a silent shriek when Kellion reached me. In a second, he had me in his arms, my back against the wall. I tried shoving at his chest, but it was useless. “Are…you…serious?” I clutched the collar of his shirt, hoping it would get his attention.
It didn’t.
Instead, his lips slammed against mine. My lips parted in surprise, and Kellion seized the chance to deepen the kiss. His tongue swept in, exploring my mouth hungrily. “It’s your fault,” he growled against my lips, his body pushing more insistently against mine. His hardness overwhelmed me, and the sheer, dizzying heat of his body overpowered my senses.
“You’d have to be insane…” He started sucking on my neck, and I felt myself arching, wanting to give him more access. “Seeing you want me…” His lips moved downward, and I felt him nibbling on my collarbone. “You think I’d be satisfied with a kiss?”
His head lifted up, and our gazes collided once more. His jaw was clenched hard, and his green eyes glittered down on me as he said, “I told you, didn’t I?”
Between our bodies, his hands started to move.
“I want to make you come.”
Blood rushed to my head at his words, and my heartbeat raced at an unimaginable speed as Kellion’s fingers reached for the hem of my shirt. He pushed it up, bit by bit, and I felt him lifting it, and every inch of skin he exposed had my chest tightening. Tighter, tighter, locking the oxygen in my throat, turning me into a writhing mass of sensation. All worries of doing this in a public place – at an ATM center, for God’s sake – disappeared, pushed away by the most carnal of thoughts.
Was he really going to touch me—
His hands were right under my breasts now.
Was he really going to touch me there—
His hands cupped my breasts.
God, God, God.
My head fell back against the wall. I clutched his shoulders tightly even as my legs wrapped more tightly around his waist. Only a plain thin cotton bra separated my aching flesh from his touch, but the heat from his hands made the fabric feel nonexistent.
“Aria. Look at me.” A rough, hoarse command that had me looking at him. His gaze ensnared mine, demanding that I show him everything.
He squeezed my breasts, gently, caressingly, making the flesh ache more and more. I wanted to sob at the pleasure of it, and the urge intensified when he started to play with my nipples. He rubbed them between his fingers, softly, then with more pressure. I so badly wanted to close my eyes. The pleasure was too much. Too, too much. But I couldn’t, not when his own gaze told me that he found looking at me arousing.
And dear God, I liked that. I wanted that, wanted to arouse him even more.
He was tugging on my nipples now. Pinching them. The sensation was unbelievable, making me squirm in his arms, my hands clutching his broad shoulders more desperately.
I looked at him, begged him with my eyes. More.
“Aria.” His groan was harsh, as if he was in pain. And then he was kissing me, harder, rougher, deeper, and oh God, oh God, I wanted him so much more because of it. Dimly, I felt Kellion lifting me up again, carrying me, and I let him because at this point, all thoughts of resistance would just be a pretense.
I wanted him.
I wanted Kellion Argyros.
And if he wanted me –
I was his to take.
Without breaking our kiss, Kellion settled me on the waist-high stool next to the ATM machine. His hands became busy again, pulling my shirt off and then unclipping my bra. He pulled away, just to take off his own shirt, exposing his muscular chest.
I gulped.
It wasn’t my first time to see him half-naked, so why, dear God, why did he still make my pulse race like I had just completed a marathon? I ached to touch him, even though at the same time it terrified me, knowing how hot he would feel – and how hot he would make me feel.
“Stop looking at me like that,” Kellion suddenly said between clenched teeth. But he didn’t give me time to answer. In the next second, he had pushed my thighs wide open so he could stand between my legs. His mouth crushed mine in a kiss as he pulled me close to him.
Our bodies came into contact, my bare breasts flattening against his naked chest. I gasped against his mouth, but I couldn’t help push myself towards him as well. Who knew? Dear God, but who knew it would feel this good, having my breasts crushed against Kellion’s powerful chest?
I almost moaned in protest when Kellion pulled away, but my sense of loss dissipated when I felt his burning gaze on my breasts.
He cupped them, squeezing, groaning in Greek. I had no idea what he was saying, but I had a feeling it was flattering, with the way his breathing had become harsher, the sounds filling the room.
“I have a feeling I’ll be addicted to your taste.” It was his only warning before he dipped his head and took one nipple into his mouth.
I let out a silent moan, my body instantly arching against his, pushing my nipple further into his mouth. Never, I thought dazedly. Never, never, never had I imagined it would feel this good to have a man’s mouth on my breast. But deep inside I knew it wasn’t just that. Knew that it could only feel this good because it was Kellion Argyros doing it to me.
I gripped his hair as he began to suck. The harder he sucked, the tighter I held on to him, but Kellion didn’t seem to mind. If anything, it aroused him even more, with the way he was practically eating my breast, one after the other. The agonizing beauty of it had me closing my eyes. I just wanted to feel. Just feel Kellion eating me. Pleasuring me.
Kellion had pulled away again, but the cold blast from the air-conditioning kept my nipples erect. It almost felt like even the air was in his command, and he wanted me unbearably aroused every second.
“Aria…”
I looked at him.
“I’m going to make you come.” He wasn’t really asking, but looking at his tense face, I knew he wouldn’t do anything further if I had said no. And maybe I should. Maybe saying ‘no’ was the right thing to do.
But right now, saying ‘no’ was also the impossible thing to do.
Kellion’s eyes were on me as he slowly reached for the buttons of my jeans, waiting for me to say or do anything to stop him. I didn’t. I didn’t want to, and when he had completely unbuttoned my jeans, he knew it, too.
He placed a short hard kiss on my lips just before he worked on undressing me completely, pulling my jeans off my legs then throwing them on the floor. When he reached for my panties, I froze for a second, my nerves suddenly getting the better of me.
Kellion straightened, whispering into my ear, “Weren’t you the one who to
ld me I should be scared of you?”
The words irritated me, stung my pride, and I automatically moved to hit him. It was exactly what Kellion wanted me to do, and with a laugh he simply captured my wrist and brought my fingers to his mouth.
“Relax, baby.” Looking at me, he nipped them one by one, and for some reason, I found myself slowly relaxing. When he started sucking on my fingers, my chest started tightening again.
Releasing my fingers, he said quietly, “Baby?”
Slowly, I nodded. This time, when he reached for my panties again, I didn’t resist. My entire body trembled as he slowly peeled my last bit of clothing away.
And then I was naked, completely naked, and entirely bared to his gaze. I moved to cover myself instinctively but stopped when Kellion shook his head.
“Let me look at you.” A command that had me catching my breath, my senses rioting.
My arms fell back to my sides, my body turning pink at his gaze. It seduced me, possessed me, and by the time he moved forward to kiss me, I found myself melting into him right away. I was enslaved by his passion, eager to do his bidding. He kissed my neck, and I arched to give him better access. He moved to my breasts, and I cupped them, offering my breasts for him to devour. And when he moved further down, his lips leaving a blazing hot trail against my skin, I could only swallow convulsively and wait.
Whatever he wanted, I would do.
I bit my lip when Kellion parted my thighs, my teeth sinking deeper into my lower lip as he bent down. His head was now between my thighs, so close that I could feel his hot breath tickling my flesh. The longer he gazed, the wetter I became, dewy drops turning into an aching moist sensation, making my folds slippery.
His fingers tightened on my thighs, telling me without words that he was about to do something—
Aaaaaaah.
I could feel my eyes rolling back as he started licking me. Slowly, surely, his expertise making every stroke count. He licked me so beautifully I found myself forgetting everything but him.
Gradually, I felt his licks becoming faster, just the right kind of rougher. His fingers released my thighs, going to my folds so he could part them wide open. It made me ache even more, and a shudder racked my body when I felt his tongue pushing inside me.
“Kel…lion.” His name broke out of my lips, the sound just as painful and beautiful as the way his tongue thrust in and out of me. Hearing me say his name had his tongue moving faster, as if he could no longer bear to wait. His fingers joined in, my body turning rigid when I felt his thumb rub my clitoris. Softly, slowly at first, but then faster and harder, matching the way he was tongue-fucking me.
Something inside of me started to build, a tornado of sensations that became more powerful and tormenting.
His thumb pressed hard against my clitoris, practically grinding the flesh, the same time his tongue pushed inside my pussy, as deep as it could go.
“Kel….lion.” I half-screamed his name as the pleasure took over my body and I started to come. “Kel….lion.” He didn’t stop crushing my clitoris, didn’t stop fucking me with his tongue, making me come again and again. I came so hard my body shook with it, my come gushing out and leaking down my legs.
I fell back against the wall when the little aftershocks of pleasure zapping my body started to fade. Kellion was licking me dry, making me squirm and try to push him away out of embarrassment. But it was no use, and only when I was completely clean did he pull away.
“Aria.”
My eyes drifted open.
His beautiful face was grim, and my heart ached at the sight of it.
“Don’t forget this.”
My chest tightened at the words. So, so tight. And knowing it was not a command – hearing him use that voice, that painful blend of plea and temptation…
I cupped his face. How, I thought achingly, could he even think I would?
I see you. I will always see you. Always. It was what I wanted to say, but I knew it wasn’t yet time. And so I did the next best thing, speaking even if it hurt both of us.
“Never.”
We didn’t communicate much after that, but it was a good kind of silence, and the smile on Kellion’s lips was real. It never went away, from the time he helped me put on my clothes till the time we left the ATM center and—
I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized that there was a huge crowd of people outside. A security team forming a human barricade around the ATM center. A maintenance crew with a brand new CCTV camera to replace the one he destroyed. And most embarrassing of all, students. So many darn students, and they were all gaping at us.
I knew it, I knew it. Only one of the Afxisi would have the power to close this place without warning.
So the only reason they kept us all away from the ATM is because they were using it for sex?
I heard they even destroyed all the CCTVs inside.
Oh my God, she is such a slut.
KELLION. I wished I could growl his name out loud, just so he’d know how I felt about…this. I took out my pen and board, scribbling furiously. God, this board was too small. I needed to make my handwriting smaller, needed to make sure he knew—
Kellion snatched the pen and board from my hands. I looked up, and a shadow fell over my face, Kellion eclipsing the world as he took my lips in a kiss that brimmed with possessiveness. The way he fisted my hair, the way he chained me to him with an arm around my waist, the way he didn’t stop kissing me until I could no longer breathe—
He pulled away, his eyes the brightest shade of green. “They had to know sooner or later, baby.”
I was still panting. I didn’t want to, but he really did leave me breathless and dazed, unable to understand what he meant. Who were they and what did they have to know?
He pulled me to him again and I stiffened, wondering if I was about to be ravished—
Oh.
A tender, soft brush of his lips against my forehead.
And then he was turning to face the crowd. “In case you still don’t believe your eyes—”
Oh no. I have a bad feeling about this. I tried to get away, but Kellion spun me back to his side, and this time his hold was inflexible.
Beside me, Kellion’s hard body was rocking with laughter.
Damn, damn, damn. He was going to do something I didn’t want him to do. I was sure of it.
“—I’m officially off the market because of this girl.”
Noooooooooooooo! A few feet away, someone in the crowd howled, her despair echoing mine.
I tried to get away again. I wanted to pretend this hadn’t happened. I only said I wanted to make him smile, dammit. I didn’t say I was okay with this totally embarrassingly public declaration of us being an item—
Kellion yanked me back to his side. “Baby, aren’t you happy?” His eyes laughed at me.
I opened my mouth to answer him, to really answer him out loud, but instead I found myself being kissed. By the guy who had just proudly announced to the world he was dating me, exclusively. The thought, coming out from nowhere, electrified me from head to toe.
Tingle, tingle, tingle, TINGLE.
When he released me, my whole body was still tingling. I touched my lips. They felt swollen and sensitive, burning under the remembered feel of Kellion’s kiss. It almost felt like they wanted to be covered by Kellion’s mouth again.
Yuck. I automatically wiped my lips with the back of my hand, hoping it could erase the lingering effect of Kellion’s kiss. But it was no use. His kiss had left an indelible mark, and I was scared that even in sleep I’d dream of its taste.
Yuck. I wiped my mouth more stringently, making Kellion chuckle.
“I’ll walk you to your dorm.”
I shook my head, scribbling on my board. YOU DON’T HAVE TO.
“If it were anyone else, I’d think you’re playing coy.”
I’M NOT. I underlined it thrice just so it was clear. Unfortunately, it only made him kiss me.
When he released me, I wiped
my mouth again, for consistency’s sake.
“Do that again and I’ll kiss you longer each time.”
JERK.
He didn’t smile, but it felt like he did, with the way his eyes gleamed. Taking my hand, he started to walk, forcing me to fall alongside him. The number of students seemed to have grown, but none of them was able to get near us.
I squeezed his hand and when Kellion glanced at me, I gestured towards the men in black around us. Who are they?
“My bodyguards,” Kellion answered simply, as if it was a normal thing for a college guy to have two dozen uniformed men trailing after him. As he pulled out his phone from his pocket, he added in a distracted tone, “They’ve been there since day one. They were just incognito.”
I badly wanted to tell him it wasn’t as normal as he made it sound, but I couldn’t. Not when something cold suddenly washed over me, my instincts telling me something was wrong.
I tugged on his sleeve without thinking, and when Kellion glanced at me with a smile, I knew my instincts were right. Whatever he had read on his phone, it wasn’t good.
“What is it?” Kellion asked, a fake smile still playing on his lips.
Did he really think he could fool me? I wetted my lips, feeling nervous and helpless at the same time.
He frowned. “Aria?”
What’s wrong? I really wanted to ask him that, but I had a feeling if I did, it would only make him smile more.
My fingers started to move, words forming on my scribble board.
Want to come up?
CHAPTER TWELVE
Dear Ashton,
As your sister, I consider it my responsibility to teach you about the birds and the bees.
So here’s your first lesson: an invitation to come up to a girl’s room doesn’t mean she’s inviting you to have sex.
Love, Your Big Sis
“So this is your room.”
I didn’t answer. Kellion Argyros hadn’t been in my room for more than five seconds and he was already making me regret my decision. My dorm room was of average size, but Kellion made it feel tiny and cramped, his presence dominating the entire space. He changed the place just by being there, and I had a feeling I would no longer be able to picture my room without him in it.
