feel of his mouth. My body was molded to his, and I parted my lips, intoxicated by the taste of his breath. There was fire in his eyes as he pulled back. “Bri?”
I knew what he was asking, and my answer was still the same. I nibbled on his ear. “I want this,” I murmured. I want you, I added silently—at least, I was pretty sure it had been in my head.
I trailed my tongue over his bottom lip , and Gavin growled, claiming my mouth in a branding kiss. Magic picked up inside me, flowing through my heated veins, stirring a delicious storm of need. Clothing vanished in a wink, leaving us skin to skin. A neat trick. Having a witch for a boyfriend definitely had its perks.
He leaned over me, my auburn hair spilling over the white sheets. Marvel ing at his sun-kissed skin, I ran my hands over his chest, feeling the muscles jump under my touch. I never wanted to stop. I didn’t need tender words or sappy romance. All I wanted was to feel loved, safe. Gavin gave me those feelings in abundance. He would never let anyone or anything harm me, and that was damn sexy in my book.
When we came together, I felt as if my body were a part of his, like I were burning, reaching for something. My head twisted to the side and… starbursts in all the colors of the rainbow shot through me, glorious and dreamy. I bit my lip to keep from crying, out and I lost control.
Magic tumbled from my fingertips, haloing the room in a bluish-white light. It swirled, spun up, and spun out. At the same time, dry lightning flashed across the sky outside, striking in a jagged and terrible display.
Oops.
God, I hope that doesn’t happen every time we…
“Should I take that as a compliment?” Gavin asked huskily, his brow rose.
I let out a breathy giggle.
Poised above me, he brushed away some strands of hair that were stuck to my face. “Your eyes are glowing.”
Imprisoned by the darkest blue eyes, I murmured, “So are yours.”
Moonlight , like a blanket, spilled through the window as I snuggled into his arms. Only moments later, my eyes drifted shut.
Chapter 13
Sprawled on his belly with one arm slung around my waist, Gavin appeared almost angelic in sleep. White sheets were twisted and tangled around his hips. His soft lips were relaxed and thick black lashes fanned the tops of his cheeks. There was youthfulness to his face in sleep that made him less intimidating and dangerous.
I wanted to stay just like this for as long as possible.
I lay on the bed beside him, and like a total creeper I watched the rise and fall of his even breathing. A need to touch him punched inside me, and as my fingers inched toward him, he rolled, tugging me closer. Suddenly the angel looked like a disgruntle lion—adorable and lethal.
I grinned. “Morning .”
He groaned.
Utterly delectable.
Placing a hand on his bare chest, his skin was hot. “If we don’t get up, we are going to be late for school.”
He snaked an arm around my waist, pulling me toward him. “Hmm. I think we deserve a day off.”
I smacked him on the chest. “That is your answer to everything.”
I received a d azzling grin. “Well, I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night.”
My cheeks turned an e mbarrassing shade of pink. “Whose fault is that?”
“Yours,” he said, nuzzling my neck.
I knew that if I didn’t get out of this bed very soon, I would give into to his every request, including ditching school. But with his tongue flirting with my neck, I stopped thinking altogether.
If it was n’t for my alarm, we might have very well skipped school, but the annoying buzzing didn’t stop until Gavin sent it flying across the room. It hit the wall with a clatter, smashing to smithereens.
I burst out laughing.
Gavin plopped back onto the bed, his hands stuffed into his messy hair. “I’ll be back to get you in twenty. Be ready or I drag you back here for the rest of the day.”
Jumping from the bed and out of his reach, I padded to the bathroom grinning
