Page 9 of Grasp The Moment

A crowd forms as he preps me for a body shot.

“You okay, Blondie?”

“Mhm…” I nod, looking anywhere but at him as he tuts.

He softly grasps my chin, tilting me to make direct eye contact with him.

“You’re safe with me, but I need to hear a ‘yes’ before we continue,” he says softly, eyes like the man from before all the tequila shots.

I’m safe, Derek’s my friend. We’ve known each other for months, and he’s one of the most secure people I know.

“Yes, continue.”

He smiles deviously. “Great.”

In an instant, he’s bending to my eye level, mere inches away from my face. “I can’t wait to taste you,” he tells me, and in an instant, his scent engulfs me.

My body goes still, heart stammering against my ribs as he slowly licks the side of my neck, one hand cupping the other side. I take a sharp breath, my panties dampening from the smell and feel of him pressed against me.

“You taste good, darlin’.”

I think I just short-circuited. His Texas drawl is in full throttle. I feel tingly as Derek softly sprinkles sugar where he’d licked me. I grin when he parts my lips, tugging them apart with his thumb. I open my mouth slightly, a small grin dusting my lips as he places a sour lime between my teeth. By now, I’m sure a crowd has formed around us, but he’s the only person that I see.

A piece of me is scared of this thought. He’s my friend; I can’t get fucking flutters in my lady bits because of him. But if friend, then why sex-god shaped?

As if hearing my thoughts, Derek leans down next to my ear. The cool air of his breath tickles my skin as he kisses my ear softly, warming my body.

“Keep that lime safe for me, yeah?”

I nod, eager to guard this lime with mylifeif it means he’s the one taking it from me.

My belly sucks in on itself as Derek licks a long, slow line from the valley between my breasts, where my crystalline embellished top has a low cut to my belly button.

I stifle a moan as he sprinkles sugar on the spot and pours the shot into the hole where my belly button is.

It’s nights like tonight that I’m happy I didn’t get my belly pierced when Cleo did, because now I’m getting licked up by a fucking Adonis.

My skin feels electrified as Derek licks all over my body, starting from my belly button, through my breasts, and to my neck. When he gets to the sweet spot below my ear, he bites it before licking the spot.

Oh my…

In a move faster than the speed of light, he sucks the contents from my belly button, and his mouth is on mine.

Derek squeezes the lime between both our mouths, a wicked grin on his face when he pulls away slightly, spitting the lime into a nearby cup. I have no control over my body or thoughts, because, as if my body is on autopilot, I reach up and kiss him.

“What… the hell… is going on?” I groan, my head pounding against my skull as my phone alarm goes off.

Wait…myalarm?

I don’t set alarms.
