Chapter 212: Don’t Ever Say That Again!

DACE: Hey

I gulped seeing his message, it was simple enough and I thought I should follow that way too, I don’t know which mood he is in right now.

ME: Hey

DACE: How are you, baby

I blushed, seeing ’Baby’ means he was cool, right? I was about typing but his call came through. I quickly sat on my bed, clearing my throat before sliding the answer button.

"Emma"

Hearing his voice right now was like a dream come through, I mean it has only been a few days but it felt like months. His deep baritone voice is soft around the edges whenever he says my name or the melody it causes to my body.

"Emma, are you there?"

"Y-Yes" Oh great I darted off into my thoughts again. "How are you?" I asked, getting worried again. I couldn’t help it because I knew he was still recovering. I don’t know how long before the silver got out of his system.

"Worse"

"What?" I almost roared the moment he said those words and then he chuckled.

"I don’t mean the wound, baby"

I took a breath of relief but something was still off. "What’s wrong then?"

"I miss you," he said in a low, heavy tone.

I felt my chest squeeze but not in pain. "I miss you too," I said so faintly but I’m certain he heard me. A smile on my lips because my body felt elevated right now.

"I’m sorry for not talking much and-"

"Dace"

There was silence but then he spoke and a shiver ran through me. "Yes?"

"It’s okay" I rubbed my palm on my knee. "I’m not angry just thinking that’s all"

"I know... I’m sorry for putting you in that position"

I sighed. "Now you’re saying sorry way too much"

"I didn’t push you away, I hope you know that I would never, I just..." I heard a sigh in the background. "I just thought I should give you some space, I still think you need it"

My chest stung and my smile slowly faded. "W-What do you mean?"

"Fuck Emma, I don’t mean that way... I mean if you wanna clear your head because I know you’re thinking way too much about it and-"

"I don’t need space, Dace" my voice was shaky even if I didn’t mean to. "I need you" I closed my eyes because I felt I would cry from the swirl of feeling engaging within me.

"I know"

I gasped because it didn’t sound from the speaker but behind me so I swirled and found him close to the window which was now wide open and the breeze coming in, he still had his phone to his ear, a smallish smile on his lips.

"Even though I said space, do you really believe I would give you that?"

I couldn’t help it anymore, I dropped my phone and rushed to his arms and they wrapped around me tightly, securing me from all the bad things. His warmth engulfed me too and I have never felt safe and complete.

I pulled so that I will look into those hazel eyes of his that I miss. "Don’t ever say that again, don’t ever say that I need space"

A breathtaking smile found his lips and he cupped my cheek with one of his hands. "Yes ma’am"

I went on my tiptoes taking his lips and he welcomed it, we kissed and it turned up into a passionate one of hotness, his hand secured around my waist as he ravished me, nothing could stop us because the emotions were all over the place, and moans leaked off me as the kiss got all heated into a fury of warmth and passion, our slippery lips colliding in various turns. Groans came off Dace as he lost himself... just like I was.

I felt my body move until the back of my knee hit my bed and I felt the texture of it against my back. That was when I opened my eyes and found him watching me with his ravishing orbs.

I let myself drown in the stunning hazels of his unable to look away. I let my hand rub the back of his neck and then used my fingers to dig into his soft fluffy hair. His hot breath washed upon my face and my glasses got clouded from it and our gaze burned into each other.

We just stayed in that position, him on top of me, his hand creating space but our faces were inches apart. We just drowned in each other gaze and I was never tired of it, I just watch the colors swirl through his orbs, the same eyes that enchanted me from the very beginning, the same eyes that caught my attention and curiosity, and the same eyes that looked at me like I’m the only being on earth, the only breathing thing that he didn’t wanna take his eyes off.

I let my hand trail to his face, allowing my finger to line his thick eyebrows and then his pointed nose, he closed his eyes with a sigh as I continued and I knew he felt calm under my touch and I was pleased.

"Tiger"

He opened his eyes and his gaze pinned me down, he leaned to me and a sharp breath released from me when he pressed his lips on my neck, prolonged and profound to the point I closed my eyes to imprint that feeling there, it was hot, burning like I was getting marked again, all but just a kiss and yet it felt like fire itself. I dug my hands into his hair more when he moved his lips again.

I felt his hand trail under my shirt but he halted along with the kiss and I flickered my eyes open.

"D-Dace?"

He looked to the side almost like he was listening to something.

"What’s wrong?" I asked and then he was off me, dread filled me because it looked like he would leave now.

He stood still silent and from this angle, I saw the color in his eyes cruising, he was being mind linked.

He turned to me and then strode to where I stood and I held my arms. "I’m sorry baby but I have to go"

I opened my mouth to speak but with a whoosh of breeze, he was gone.
