Page 94 of Tempting the President
Did I just get...rejected?
“What’s...wrong?” This time, I asked it out loud, just so he knew how much this mattered to me. When he still didn’t answer, I knew he wouldn’t do so unless I did something drastic.
So I took hold of his hand, and when his startled gaze met mine, I placed it on my breast.
Kellion’s nostrils flared, desire flashing in his eyes, and I could have collapsed in relief.
Thank God he still wanted me. Thank God I could still love him. So whatever it was, it could be solved.
But right now—-
He was still holding my breast, which only occurred to me when I realized that all the tingling sensations running over my body came from just one place—-
I slapped his hand away when his fingers tightened around my flesh.
Kellion laughed. “Weren’t you the one who made me touch you?”
I threw my hands up then pointed at him.Because you were acting WEIRD.
He sighed. “Sorry.” He leaned forward, brushing his nose against mine. “I guess Bobby’s words got to me, after all.”
Bobby?
Seeing my bemused look, he shook his head. “It’s nothing. She just gave me a few truths that made me feel undeserving of you.”
I pointed at him.You? Undeserving of me?I rolled my eyes.You have got to be kidding.
His lips twitched. “I’m not kidding. I seriously contemplated taking a fucking chastity vow just to prove that I don’t mean to hurt you.” Kellion’s face became grim. “Because that’s what would kill me,terataki.The thought that—-”
I placed a finger over his lips. Looking straight into his eyes, I slowly shook my head. “You...will...not...hurt...me.” I took his hand again, but this time I placed it over my heart. “I...trust...you.” I closed my hand over his. “Tonight...if...you...want...to...”
His eyes widened.
I swallowed. “I...trust...you...that...much.”
A second later and he was kissing me, my hands falling down to my sides, my fingers gripping the seat of his bike as he leaned closer towards me to deepen his kiss.
“I don’t deserve you.” A harsh whisper against my lips.
I bit his lip. “Don’t...think...such...a...thing.” And just so he knew how mad I was, I bit his lip again.
This time, it made him laugh, and in retaliation, he sucked on my lower lip hard. “Little monster.” His tone was amused, but when our gazes met, his eyes were serious. “One month.”
I blinked.One month?
“I’ll give you one month to decide if you’ll give yourself to me. And when you do...” He kissed me hard. “I’ll never let you go after that.”
Chapter Seventeen
Dear Ashton,
I think there’s something lacking in me as a girlfriend.
I can’t explain. And yeah, I know, I’m the prettiest sister in the world.
But that’s a different thing from being the preeeettiest girlfriend in the world.
Love, Your Big Sis
