Babysitting The Amnesiac Lycan King

King Novel 49

Chapter 49

I don't know who moves first.

One second, the world is frozen. His breath on my lips, the tension coiled so tight between us it could snap and take my fucking head off. His eyes-stormy, wild, barely restrained-burn into mine, daring me to pull away.

I don't.

And then-

Everything explodes.

His lips crash against mine with a desperation that borders on violent. A sharp gasp escapes me, but I don't fight it. Can't fight it. My fingers are in his hair before I can stop myself, yanking him closer, because fuck, I need this. I need him.

We head back to the house as he carries me with our lips together, we rush to my room like starved animals.

He growls, a low, guttural sound, and my back slams into the wall of my tiny, suffocating excuse for a room. The breath leaves my lungs, but I don't care. I don't care about anything except the way he's pressing against me, solid and burning and fucking alive.

His hands are rough-everywhere, nowhere, gripping my waist, sliding up my sides like he's memorizing me. One hand fists in my hair, tugging my head back, exposing my throat to him. My stomach clenches, heat pooling between my thighs, and then his teeth are there, grazing my skin, testing, teasing-

A strangled noise leaves me. Something between a whimper and a curse. I feel his smirk against my neck before he bites down, hard enough to send a shockwave straight to my core.

Bastard.

I retaliate, grabbing his face and biting his lower lip, not soft or teasing, but vicious. The coppery taste of blood blooms between us, but all it does is make his grip on me tighten, like he's seconds away from devouring me whole.

"Enoch," I breathe, barely recognizing my own voice-needy, desperate, wrecked. He makes a sound, half-snarl, half-moan, and that's it. That's the only warning I get before he's lifting me, one arm beneath my thighs, the other bracing against the wall. My legs wrap around his waist instinctively, holding on for dear life as he grinds against me.

I'm losing my mind.

He's losing his.

And we let it happen.

His mouth is on mine again, and I can taste everything in him-the restraint that's barely holding together, the hunger that's consuming him, the ache that neither of us knows how to soothe. His hands roam, gripping, claiming, and I let him, I fucking let him, because I need to feel something other than the emptiness that's been gnawing at me since the moment I realized I could lose him.

He pulls back, just enough to rest his forehead against mine. His breath is ragged, his fingers trembling where they dig into my hips. "Taryn

It's the first time he's said my name in full sentences since he lost his memories. My chest tightens painfully, a lump forming in my throat. But I don't ask. I don't break the moment.

Because I'm afraid of the answer.

Instead, I reach for him again, dragging him back down, because if this is all I can have, I'll take it. Even if it kills me.

I don't know who moves first.

Maybe it's me, too fucking tired of pretending / don't want this, don't need this. Maybe it's him, giving up whatever stupid resistance he's been holding onto.

It doesn't matter.

Because the second our lips crash together again, the world fucking burns.

Enoch grips my hips like he's trying to leave bruises, dragging me closer, his breath ragged against my mouth. The room is dark, shadows flickering from the dying fire in the hearth, but I don't need light to know the way his hands feel on my body -possessive, desperate, like he's memorizing every inch of me with his fingertips.

I don't stop him.

I don't fucking want to.

I'm already burning alive, and I don't care if he's the one holding the match.

His teeth graze my lower lip, and I gasp, my head knocking back against the wooden beam behind me. Enoch follows, his mouth trailing down my throat, open-mouthed, hot. He bites-not gently, not sweetly, but with a hunger that makes my knees buckle.

I shove at his chest, not to push him away, but because I want to fight this feeling, this fucking need. "You're such a goddamn asshole," I manage, voice breathless, shaky.

He doesn't even hesitate. Just growls, low and primal, before gripping my wrists and pinning them above my head.

My pulse jumps.

"You push," he rasps, his breath searing against my skin. "I take."

Fucking hell.

His grip tightens around my wrists, holding me still as his knee slides between my

legs, pressing, forcing me to acknowledge how wet I already am.

looking at me like I'm something worth breaking for.

Instead, I fucking grind against his thigh like a bitch in heat.

Enoch makes a rough, guttural noise and crashes his mouth back to mine, shoving his hands under my shirt, up my ribs, dragging his calloused fingers over my skin like he's trying to carve himself into me.

"Clothes," he mutters, his voice wrecked.

It takes my dazed brain a second to catch up. Then he's yanking my shirt over my head, and I'm pulling at his, and we're a mess of hands and gasping breaths, frantic and clumsy in the dark. My back hits the bed before I even realize he's moved us, and then he's on top of me, covering me, devouring me.

His fingers slip beneath the waistband of my shorts.

I arch up, impatient. "Fucking do something-"
