Page 65 of Unwrapping Ember
I glance over my shoulder at the crowd gathered inside, a smile spreading across my face as I feel a sense of contentment wash over me, finally glad to be back home. "Absolutely, I'd call it a success."
"Are you enjoying yourself?" Bella asks.
"Yeah, I really am," I reply, raising my glass with a grin before taking a sip. The music, the laughter, and the twinkling lights meld into the perfect atmosphere for a night like this. I turn to Bella again, my expression warm. "Thank you for helping me with everything. I couldn't have pulled off this party without you."
She flashes me a bright smile and pulls me into a hug. "Of course! Anytime." As we stand there, I can’t help but feel a sense of longing as Bella nudges the conversation in another direction. "So, have you been thinking more about Koda? You've seemed a bit lovesick since you got back."
I sigh, the truth in her words resonating deeply. "I miss him, yeah, but I'm slowly adjusting to being home."
"Good, because I've missed you," she replies, drawing me close for another hug and clinking her glass against mine before we both take a sip.
Just then, a voice interrupts us. "Did someone say they missed me?"
I nearly choke on my wine, swallowing hastily as I wipe my mouth, and as I turn slowly, there he is: Koda, dressed sharply in a suit, hishair slicked back just the way I love it, standing with a captivating grin on his face.
"Koda, what… what are you doing here?"
"What do you think, Ember?"
Bella clears her throat, subtly edging away to give us some privacy.
"Did you miss me or something?" I ask, attempting to mask the nerves bubbling inside me.
"That's a ridiculous question. Of course I missed you."
He steps closer, wrapping his arms around me and pinning my back against the cool railing while the chill doesn’t bother me at all. Right now, with his warmth wrapping around me, all that matters is that he’s here. We stand for a heartbeat, lost in each other's gaze, until he leans in, his voice soft and sincere.
"I couldn’t stand being away from you any longer; I had to come back."
The smile that floods my face is undeniable. "I’m glad you did," I whisper, leaning in for a kiss.
The connection we share ignites a warmth that assures me everything will be alright now that he’s by my side. Our lips meet, and the world around us fades away as we lose ourselves in each other, tongues dancing a passionate waltz beneath the falling snow. With the booming music from inside and the surrounding chaos muffled, nothing matters except the fervor of Koda's kiss. He slips a hand between us, cupping my throat gently while his fingers slide beneath my dress, teasingly brushing my most intimate spot.
"I love that you’re always in a dress. It makes it so much easier to touch you where I want."
"Is that all you want? Just to touch me, Koda?" I deliberately moan, teasing him as he lavishes attention on my neck.
"Jesus, I’ve missed you." He exhales heavily against my ear, both of us oblivious to the bustling party behind us.
Outside, snowflakes drift down softly, yet the heat radiating between us is a palpable force. Koda’s hands explore my body, reviving a fire in methat I thought had long been extinguished. I surrender to the moment, the thrill of longing rekindled, the vibrant emotions stirring deep within.
"Show me just how much you’ve missed me," I breathe, just as his eager mouth finds mine again, enveloping me in a fierce, hungry kiss.
Wrapped in this passionate embrace, we succumb to the inevitable pull that has always drawn us together. He settles into the patio couch, pulling me onto his lap and draping a blanket over us.
"I'll show you how much I missed you, but you need to be a good girl and ride me right here."
I gasp at the audacity, whispering back, "There are so many people around, Koda! They can see!"
His fingers deftly slide my soaked panties aside, sending a jolt of desire through me as he slips inside me. I arch my back involuntarily, letting out a soft moan of his name, surrendering to the exquisite sensations he’s stirring within me.
"Koda," I gasp, instinctively rocking against him.
"Doesn’t it turn you on? Knowing we could be caught at any moment." His voice resonates against my skin, sending shivers down my spine.
The thrill adds to the intoxicating heat between us, making every brush of his fingers against my skin feel electric. The world around us fades into a distant hum as our bodies move in harmony, lost in the fervent desire connecting us.
"Let me in, baby," he urges, and I eagerly lift my hips, quivering with anticipation as he eases into me, filling me completely.
