Chapter 10 Lyras Hunger 19 ~~Lyra~~ My eyes fluttered shut. And it wasn't soft. It wasn't innocent. It felt like collapse. Like my body had short-circuited under the pressure of his presence. Like my mind couldn't bear the heat that surged through me the second his fingers brushed the top of my chest. Everything in me clenched. My p***y. My stomach. My throat. It was like all my nerves had been rewired just for him. To feel him. To want him. To f*****g need him like oxygen I hadn't earned. I didn't even realize I was holding my breath until my lips parted and it shuddered out of me like a moan I was too scared to let escape. Because I wasn't just standing there anymore. I was unraveling. My robe was already loose, gaping, barely covering anything. My n*****s were hard..aching points beneath the silk. My skin felt too tight. My core pulsed so violently it was like a second heartbeat between my legs. And I could feel a thread of wetness sliding down the inside of my thighs again. Fresh. Hot. Soaking me. I thought I was empty. After everything earlier. After the orgasms. The crying. The drinking. But no. He was here now. And with just a few words and the heat of his breath on my skin, he made my entire body start over. ||| O 1.7
