Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,77

Only to find him staring at me with desire darkening his ice blue eyes and not watching the timer.

“Well Atty?” I say my voice unintentionally husky reacting to his own desire as I stand.

“That was so fucking hot” he rasps before he pulls me towards his chest.

I go willingly, my head tipping up as his comes down and his lips collide with mine, he growls into my mouth nipping my lips and lifting me up with an ease that has my core clenching and gives him better access to my mouth. His hands squeeze my ass firmly and his hard length hits me just right making me moan. There is no battle for dominance in this kiss. He rules and I surrender completely to him and he nips my lip in praise when I comply completely as he backs us up against the wall, using it to hold me in place as his hand slowly moves from ass trailing up my side and to my breast rolling my nipple in his fingers, I have never been so grateful for non-padded bralettes. I groan as his giant tattooed hand travels up the side of my neck holding me firmly as he devours me.

When he pulls back I’m gasping for breath and his chest is heaving. He smiles at me, not a smirk or a grin but a proper smile that turns his ice blue eyes into glittering crystals and has me staring in shock, my breath stuttering in my chest as my heart slams against my ribs.

He is savagely handsome.

Damn that’s dangerous. I want to explore all of his tattoos, run my fingers and lips over them. I didn’t get a good enough look in the pool yesterday too focused on how I reacted to his scar and his reaction to my scars.

“Now what has you looking at me like you want to eat me, Princess?” he asks his fingers flexing on my neck as he presses impossibly closer.

“Because I do, I want to lick you” I shock myself when I admit out loud.

His smirk turns wicked, “only if I get to return the favour” his eyes darken as I bite my lip.

“I think I can agree to your terms” I reply.

Movement from behind Atlas’s shoulder has me tensing and in seconds I find myself put down and backed against the wall with Atlas back in front of me as he crouches into a defensive position. His natural reaction to protect me makes me hot.

I smirk and tension leaks from me when I realise it’s just Luc, but when I study him properly I see he’s not smirking but watching Atlas cautiously and Atlas hasn’t straightened from his position. I place my hand on his back gently and his muscles tense under my touch, I slowly move around him and place my hands on his cheeks. Figuring it worked when Luc did it for me and since he's crouched so I can reach anyway, I place my hands on his cheek and my lips on his.

It takes a second before he releases his tension and his lips move against mine he pulls me closer and dips his head into my neck.

“Are you ok Atty?” I ask sharing a worried look with Luc.

“Just give me a second, Princess” he rasps and I hold him closer.

It takes about five minutes but then he lets out a deep breath and stands up straight letting go of me.

“Sorry man” he says to Luc.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ve been there, Ever’s good at bringing us back” he grins and Atlas smirks in reply. “We are going to be late though” he grins and I make a whoops face. Which has them both chuckling.

“Ever distracted me” the cheeky fucker accuses.

“You started it” I reply as I walk towards Luc grateful that he’s not bothered by me kissing Atlas. I seriously don’t know what the fuck is going on with me but I’m going with it.

Wanting to mess with him a bit and knowing that he’ll most likely find it hot. I bend down whilst the guys talk about what the others are going to do and take one of my knives out of boot.

“Hey Atty” I smirk as he turns to me and the fling my knife, it embeds in the wall behind him, “I prefer knives too, and I thought you’d like to know I’m always armed.”

Luc bursts out laughing next to me at the shocked look on Atlas face as his gaze switches between my
