Chapter 24

An hour before midnight almost everyone has passed out.

Either on the couch, in the kitchen, or in the rooms. The house was a mess but I didn't care about it at the moment.

My sober self will take care of that tomorrow. But tonight, we were celebrating.

I was sipping on my whiskey and coke because I didn't feel like sleeping even though I could collapse at any moment now.

Seeley stumbled into the living room after washing his face. He was sweaty from all the dancing we'd done tonight. His hair was messy as if he has been trying to tear it out all night.

When he saw me, he walked over to me.

"Don't tell me Casen passed out too." He said glancing at his friend who was half laying on the couch and half on the floor.

"He did a few minutes ago." I chuckled and continued drinking. "I'd help him find a comfortable position but something tells me that it will be a sight to see him in pain tomorrow for dislocating his spine like that."

Seeley laughed and leaned on the table.

"True, at least we got our show for tomorrow."

I finished my drink and licked my wet lips. Seeley was watching me as I put the glass in the sink and I wiped my neck.

"Was it good?" He asked.

"The drink?" I asked, nodding to the empty glass behind me. "I only make drinks that are good, why else would I drink it?"

Seeley smiled and shook his head.

"I meant the party."

I looked around in the crashed living room where pieces of balloons could be seen also snacks somehow made it to the floor.

"It was really good." I said turning back to him. "Thank you."

Seeley pressed his lips together and rubbed his eyes.

"I spent quite a few hours on your surprise, so it's good to hear that it was worth it."

"You mean inviting Perkyn and the others?"

"I was thinking hard whether I'd like to see Perkyn here." Seeley admitted and my face softened.

It really meant almost the world to me that he invited the only person that he considered as a threat to his attraction toward me.

And when Perkyn had just admitted in front of everyone that he has been crushing on me was not Seeley's favorite moment of the night. I could feel him take a sharp breath in when Parkyn said that.

"Thank you for bringing him here." I said and cupped his warm cheek. I didn't feel ashamed to touch him like that at all.

I felt nothing but braveness and impatience that my sober self wasted so much time instead of just saying yes to him.

"You're welcome." He said, lingering on my touch. "But they weren't the only surprise for the night."

I rubbed the side of his jaw slowly, almost not listening to him. His face was just mesmerizing me that much.

"You mean the cake?" I asked.

"I ordered it last week, so I'd be in time but no." He shook his head.

"Then what else is there?" I asked.

Seeley took my hand in his hands and pressed a kiss on my fingers. My hand felt both small and safe in his.

"Come with me."

He didn't need to tell me twice, I'd follow him anywhere. He entitled our fingers and carefully led me out of the living room while covering my eyes with his free hand.

"That's not fair." I giggled as he led me out in the cold night. "I'll fall and I think I've done that quite enough for tonight."

"I'll catch you." He promised as we came to a stop on the terrace.

He stepped behind me while removing his hand. I opened my eyes and gasped without hesitation at the sight in front of me.

The garden was full of lights, breaking the darkness that fell upon us. The stars were shining above the sight that Seeley had just created for me.

There were lamps hanging from the trees that stood in front of us, brightening the surroundings.

It felt like I was watching millions of fireflies flying across us.

I couldn't tear my eyes away from them. I pressed my hand on my heart while Seeley stepped next to me.

"Do you like it?"

How could he ask something like this? Never have I ever had someone doing something like this for me.

"No, I hate it."

Seeley laughed and looked behind him into the house for a second.

Then he sunk his hand into his pockets, pulling something out of it. When I turned back to him, I saw him showing me a silver necklace with a dreamcatcher on it.

"May I put it on?" He asked and I smiled.

"Please." I said and turned away, clearing my neck from my hair.

I felt his scent as his arms were around my neck as he put the beautiful necklace on me. When he lowered his head and pressed a kiss to my neck, I closed my eyes.

"You look beautiful." He whispered and I turned around to face him.

His eyes drop to my lips before looking into my eyes again. I step closer and place my hands on his hard chest.

"Tonight was perfect, Seeley." I said with honesty sparkling in my eyes.

"I'm very happy to hear that." He answered quietly, getting lost in my eyes. And it seemed he didn't want to find himself out just yet.

When I saw a droll of sweat rolling down on his temper, I leaned closer and unbuttoned the top of his shirt.

"What are you doing?" He asked but he didn't stop me.

I looked up at him and licked my lips.

"Helping you undress." I said and he dropped his forehead against mine.

"Heds…"

"I think you need a shower." I said, my voice hoarse. My body suddenly woke up, carving for his touch.

"Do I?"

I finished buttoning his shirt and carefully grazed my fingers over his muscular torso. His muscles tensed as I started to lower my hands.

"We both do."

Before he could say anything, I grabbed his hand and led him into the house. Careful not to wake the others up, I pulled him toward the other side of the house where the bathroom was seated.

I didn't give myself time to act logically. We were both drunk and probably wouldn't remember this tomorrow.

Why would I keep denying how much my body needed him? I was surprised that I could reject him for that long.

But now it was time to take that step what we both have been waiting for.

I closed the door behind him and he let me push him toward the shower room. It was big enough for both of us.

"Heds, are you sure?"

His voice was husky but also hesitant which proved me right. He wanted it as much as I did. So, why stop now?

Nobody would know about it.

It would be our little secret. And I liked having secrets. I didn't know why but the thrill of lying about certain things and being the only one who knew the truth, gave me an exciting burn in my stomach.

"I'm more than sure." I said, pushing his shirt off, and exposing his skin.

My eyes jumped to his body, examining his tattoos. He had two military necklaces tattooed on his heart, and each of them had a name on them, Dakota and Alexa.

On the right side of his abdomen, he had a dreamcatcher with birds that was beautiful and made me look down at the necklace he has just given me.

My eyes jumped back to the two names on his heart. There was something mysterious about them.

I wasn't a huge fan of tattoos but Seeley looked even more handsome while he had ink-black tattoos on his torso.

He stepped closer to me and grabbed my waist, pulling me close to him. My breath got caught in my throat as his nose grazed over mine.

"It's only fair if you take your dress off." He whispered against my lips. Suddenly I felt too hot under his hungry state and not only because of the alcohol clouding my body.

Before my mind could catch up with the events happening, he pressed his lips against me and my body tensed right away.

His kiss was just like something I remembered only difference was the feelings floating around us while he pressed me against the tiled wall. His hand found its way up to my hair while the other grabbed my butt.

He groaned when I pulled his hair in satisfaction. Hearing him slowly losing control over his body made me shiver.

He was everywhere and I wouldn't have had him any other way.

His tongue pushed my lips apart and started to dance with mine.

I felt dizzy alone from his incredible kiss on my lips. Having him bite into my bottom lip made me moan while I ran my hands over his chest and stomach.

He seemed determined to show me what he was capable of. His lips worked against mine impatiently while I could taste the whiskey on his tongue.

I felt like I became even drunker on his touches and rough kisses. I didn't want to stop him or pull away to break the tension.

We've waited long enough already.

Maybe Casen was right when he told me once that drunk people come up with the best possible ideas.

Because I knew that I wouldn't have done that with a sober mind.

Seeley, without breaking our kiss, leaned down and grabbed the back of my thighs. I sighed into his mouth as I jumped up and he helped me wrap my legs around his waist.

He moaned into my mouth as he pressed his lower body to me, making me aware of the effect that our steamy make-out session has done on him.

He trailed wet kisses down to my jaw and my neck before finding my swollen lips already.

"You're the best." He breathed into my mouth as I sucked on the bottom of his ear.

"Now I am, huh?" I teased him and led his hand up to my breast. When he cupped it, I kissed him so hard that his head fell back for a second.

His hand disappeared under my skirt, his fingers slowly trailing up on my thigh and reaching the most sensitive part of my body.

I sighed shakily as he sucked on the side of my neck.

I tried to silence myself while he was about to send me over the edge.

He definitely knew what to do with his fingers. And I just turned into a wave full of moans and deep exhales to let my body react to him.

I didn't know if I was right or if it was the lack of sexual activity in my life lately that made me think that but I was selfish enough to enjoy his undivided attention to me.

His lips found mine once again as he slowly let me down to the ground. I had to hold into his firm arms because my legs were almost shaking from what he has done to me.

I reached down and undid his belt, then unbuttoned his shorts. Helping me push them down, he pulled away and grabbed the bottom of my dress. Lifting my arms while never breaking eye contact with him, I let him take them off me.

I would have been nervous by the hungry look on his face as he took his time to stare at my body now that I was only wearing a bra and tongs.

"You're gorgeous." He breathed and our chests collided as he reached behind me to undo my bra.

I rubbed him slowly in a torturous way while nibbling on his chest until he took my bra off.

He left wet kisses from my shoulder to my breasts on my skin while he pulled my underwear off.

I gently pushed him away while trying to catch my breath.

Giving him an inviting stare, I backed into the shower room wearing nothing but the necklace he gave me until my back hit the wall. He got rid of his boxers and followed me without breaking our eye contact.

Even though I was standing there completely naked, his stare made my skin warm up.

He looked up then turned the tap and in the next moment, cold water was sieging us.

I almost screamed in surprise if he didn't press his lips against mine again to silence me. My heart was beating in my throat as my body soon turned colder.

I didn't mind that considering how much Seeley Drewitt's kisses were burning me.

Goosebumps were running over my body as he pressed himself against me. When I felt how hard he was, I gasped into his mouth.

"I've been waiting for you for years." He breathed into my neck.

His long wait explained his hunger and determination which was a bigger turn-on for me. My limbs felt heavy and sore already but I didn't move away.

"You are perfect." He whispered into my ear while water was dripping down from his mouth to my ear.

I kissed his neck as he wiped my wet curls out of my face. Something moved inside me as I took his wet and dazzled face in.

He turned me around and I pressed my hands against the wall to steady myself. He softly bit my neck as he pressed himself against my back.

I couldn't believe that I was about to have sex in the shower with my friend. But to be fair, a lot of sexual tension has been leading up to this moment.

He wasn't wasting his time anymore. He pushed himself into me so fast that all I could do was let my jaw fall.

When he pulled back, he rocked into me again in a rougher way. I moaned as our bodies melted into each other while he was trying to catch his breath.

With one hand he grabbed my waist while the other was cupping my right breast. I loved to hear the sounds he made while he was taking me from behind.

"I always wanted you, Heds." He said as I pressed myself against him while he picked up his place.

My hands were shaking as I bit into my bottom lip to keep myself from screaming out loud. He was hard and wild.

He lowered his hand that was gripping my breast and played it between my legs. My knees started shaking as he was rubbing me while he slammed into me again and again.

We were a chaotic mess of moans and heavy breaths as the cold water was washing our sweats away. I could only hope that the running of the water would muffle our moans in case anybody woke up.

"You feel so good." He groaned and I turned my head to the side to let him place a hungry kiss on my lips while cupping my cheek.

I could feel my lips become sore but I didn't mind at all. I was enjoying every moment with him. We complemented each other.

I felt a familiar burn building inside of me as I screwed my eyes shut and tightened myself around him.

"Oh, God." I called out. "Seeley…"

Seeley tightened his grip around me in a way that almost hurt but I was too turned on to care. He grabbed my hair and sucked on my neck while moaning into my wet skin.

I inhaled as I felt something pinch inside of me and Seeley pulled out before he reached his climax.

I was gulping on air while he leaned on me and kissed my cheek tenderly.

"It was worth the waiting." He grinned.

"Really?" I asked and faced him while pushing my hair out of my face. "I had expected something better."

He laughed and rubbed his eyes while water was running down on his face.

"What did you mean that you've been waiting for me?" I asked. My head was heavy and I had to lean against the wall because I didn't trust my legs anymore. Not after what he had done over the last maybe forty minutes.

"I thought you knew that by now."

"Know what?"
