Chapter 26

Chapter 26

My body feels like it’s on fire and alive at the same time. He’s awakened the fire in me. It’s

so hot that I feel like I can burn his skin if I really want to.

But I don’t think that’s entirely true; Adam possesses the power to control the fire in me.

He somehow knows how to heat me and cool me down at the same time.

I grab the back of his head and push his mouth harder against my neck. He doesn’t stop kissing methere. “I’ll let every f*****g man who comes near you know who’s been here first.”

I feel an instant wetness between my legs from his words. I should be angry; I should be

pushing him away. I’m not an object; I’m not someone that willingly gives herself to random men just forpleasure. I just said those things to anger him; I may have succeeded in doing that, but I wasn’t sure ifthis was the reaction I was hoping for.

He grips the side of my neck, and I almost die when he presses his mouth against my lips.

Immediately I see images of the both of us in the sky, Adam with breathtaking wings, half white, halfblack, and then there was me with my blazing red wings. Before I can make out what’s happening, theimages disappear in a flash.

I don’t have time to ponder over those images when his mouth closes down on my bottom lip. Adamsucks my lip like an expert; I know that he’s done this a million times before, and that bothers me but notenough to stop this from happening.

His hands travel down the side of my breasts and don’t stop until he reaches my bare legs. It’s like hewants to leave his mark there now that he knows another man has touched me there. This feels nothing

like when Jackson touched me, however. My skin holds onto every single caress from him, like it’s dyingfor a taste, a touch, anything as long as it’s from Adam.

He pulls away from my lips but doesn’t stop there. He travels down my body until he stops above my leg.What was he doing? I don’t have time to prepare when his lips touch my skin there. I gasp and hold ontohis hair for the support I didn’t think I would need right now. I pull on his thick strands as he begins tosuck on my thigh. My eyes roll back in my head as my panties start to soak from how turned on I am bythis. His mouth is warm against me and I’ve never felt this kind of passion before; it’s almost too much forme to handle.

He travels higher again until he stops at the slit by my hips, “you should have never worn

something this revealing.”

Was he genuinely commenting on my outfit at a time like this? Before I could argue, he presses hismouth against the exposed skin and begins his incredible sucking motion some more. His hands againstmy waist, squeezing and pushing me tighter against his body,

Adam was experienced; of course, he would know exactly what to do to make a woman go completelyinsane.

Totally surprising me, he stops midway and pulls away from me. He opens the door and jumps out of thejeep before I can say anything.

“f**k!” he growls as he slams his fist against the vehicle.

W-what just happened?

My body is trembling when I exit the vehicle and stand next to him.

Our gazes lock, and his jaw tightens, “you’re not that type of woman, Amiera. You don’t wear clothes likethis; you don’t curse, you obey your parents, you don’t let random men touch

you, you’re a good girl. Don’t let anyone change that about you.”

My lips part. Did he mean to tell me not to let him change the person I was? Or did he mean to say to menot to let what Bryan and Aria did affect the person I was? I don’t have time to respond when Lizzieappears before us from out of nowhere. Where did she come from? And how long was she standingthere? Did she hear what Adam said to me?

“Isn’t that your siblings looking for you?” she asks roughly. She’s not lying; Noah and Belle

are indeed searching the parking lot for me. Did they see Adam pull me out of there? He didn’t

exactly try to hide what he did from anyone. I’m sure someone must have seen. Jackson, for

one, did see everything. Would he tell everyone what he saw?

I don’t waste any time as I rush back into the house before they can spot me. It would be trouble if theysaw me out here with Adam and Lizzie.

I wait for them to reenter the house before revealing myself to them.

“Where have you been?” Noah asks me with concern.

“What do you mean?” I ask. “I’ve been here all along. Maybe you missed me when I went to

use the washroom.”

Thankfully, they seem to believe that lie.

“You look a little flushed,” my sister points out. “Do you want to go home?”

Inod without a second thought. I needed to leave this place immediately; I was feeling too manyemotions in public right now.

She nods and pulls me out of the party with her, Noah, right behind us. I search the parking lot for anysigns of Lizzie and Adam, but they’re already gone.

Lizzie is losing her mind in front of me, and I know now that she knows what happened

inside that jeep.

“What’s going on, Adam?” she demands. “What is it that you aren’t telling me?”

Ishrug my shoulders, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just trying to gain

Amiera’s trust.”

“Are you sure about that?” she demands. “Because that’s not what it looks like to me. You’re supposed tobe gaining her trust, not sticking your tongue down her throat!” she shouts. “And was that all thathappened, or did you stick your do*kin her too?”

“Watch your tongue!” I growl.

“What?” she snaps. “Did that anger you? How do you think I felt when I heard you tell her not to changefor anyone that she’s a good girl. What the hell was that, Adam? If we want her on our side, she needs tochange; she needs to be the woman she isn’t right now. You’re giving

her advice that could spoil our plans for good. Are you even thinking?”

I’m not sure what that was either. I never thought the day would come where I would tell the flamingwhisperer to continue being a good girl. I can’t explain what happened to me; being near Amiera makes

me weak. The books weren’t lying; she would make things difficult for me. One kiss, and I’m alreadyforgetting everything I stand for.

Irun a hand over my head and face Lizzie, “you’re not giving me a chance to explain myself. You’remistaken; everything I’ve said and done is only to get her on our side. Right now,

she’s vulnerable. That’s where I need to be nice to her, Amiera hasn’t discovered her powers nor theconfidence that she needs to unleash everything within her. She needs me there for that, and she needsto think that I’m a friend, not an enemy.”

Lizzie sighs, “I’m not sure that I can trust you anymore. I know what I saw out there. She didn’t look likethe vulnerable one; you did. I’m not going to sit back and let you ruin our plans. We’ve been working onthis too long just to let it slip through our fingers.”

s**t! What the f**k did I do? The last thing I needed was Lizzie not trusting me. We were a

team.

I walk towards her and grip her shoulders. “I promise you that I’m not going to blow this. When have I notkept my word? You don’t have anything to worry about. I’m sure that you can see she’s already warmingup to me. Doesn’t that already prove that my plan is working? Very soon, she would trust me, and that’swhat we need.”

Lizzie sighs but eventually agrees, “okay, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt because I

“You have nothing to worry about,” I promise her

I needed to get these emotions in check before I blew everything.
