Thread: You Lied to Me, so Right Your Wrong (Raivh & Loveme)

It was a chilly night, great for a bonfire. Sitting beside the dying flames, he was barely listening to his friend chattering away. His green eyes were on her, watching as she went about her party. There was more wood that could have been added to the fire, but people had been drifting home for the past half hour, so he didnt bother with it. A punch to the shoulder brought him back to reality, and he tore his eyes away from her. He and his friend exchanged a few words, and then his friend got to his feet, shouting a goodbye to the birthday girl. Casting a glance in his girlfriends direction, Kayden flashed her one of his lopsided grins. There were only five cars at the top of the hill. One was had its headlights on and was backing out, and another would soon be leaving. He would give her guests another fifteen minutes, but then he was stealing her away. Shed seemed excited enough all night long, eyes bright. More than once, hed nearly walked over and interrupted a conversation so that he could kiss her, but hed refrained. There were a few times when it would have been easy to steal her lips, and he would have loved to see her blush. Ten minutes later, he was encroaching on her space, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, and teasing the smooth skin on her neck with feather light kisses. It looks like Kayden wants his wife back, one of their friends said in jest. Something of a possessive growl rumbled against her back, and Kayden grinned, drinking in her scent with his nose buried in the hair atop her head. She smelled of outdoors, fire and smoke, pine and oak, and the most tempting of all was her fragrance. He wasnt sure what perfume she wore, if any at all, but hed thought many a time about hoarding her to himself for a day just so he could get high off of her scent. His hold on her tightened another notch, pulling her back against him. Green irises flecked with gold stared into the eyes of their onlookers, just a few of their friends, and he arched his brows and nodded, exhaling. Dipping low, one arm caught her below the knees, the other behind her back, and he lifted her off the ground. Yeah, he replied at last, pausing to kiss her on the forehead. I do. Chuckling to himself, he set her back on her feet and took her hand to lead her up the hill. Thanks. The three guests laughed and followed them to the drive. Splitting from the group, Kayden gave her hand a squeeze and led her to the front porch. Light from the television flickered in the window, curtains drawn, but her parents were probably asleep. It was half past midnight. Sitting her down, he placed one hand on the banister for balance, the other under her chin, and leaned down. He pressed a tender kiss to her cheek, then the corner of her mouth. The steps creaked as he climbed up them and settled to a seat behind her, legs on either side of her, knees bent, and his arms twined around her waist. Happy birthday, he murmured against her ear. Finally, he claimed her lips. The kiss was gentle, and he eased back with a grin. A low laugh rolled through his chest, and he grazed his lips over hers once more, punctuating his affection for her with a kiss on the side of her head. You never told me what you wanted for your birthday, but I have something for you in the car. Ill get it in a bit. His hold on her slackened. One palm to the wooden surface of the porch, he leaned back, keeping one arm securely around her. His breathing was steady, controlledcomfortable. Are you ready for college? Studying what he could see of her profile, he sat up once more, curled his fingers against her stomach, and brought his free hand up to pull her hair back behind her ear. He settled back again. Did you have to pick a school out of state? The smirk on his face was completely relaxed, only joking with her. Hed known her decision for some time. Growing silent, he lifted his brows high on his forehead. I think youll be further from home than Ill be, starting out anyway. I talked with that recruiter some more. His chest expanded as he filled his lungs with a large breath of air. Youve been dating a Marine for the past few weeks. Lifting her hair from the back of her neck, he shifted it away and kissed the nape of her neck. I leave for basic in September. Your classes start in August, right? Did you want to go to the lake before then?
