Chapter 54 - Falling (1/2)

Atlas collapsed on top of her as they tried to catch their breath. Their ragged breath sounded in the quite room. He lifted his head and looked at Meredith, his blue eyes blazing with emotions.

Meredith's heart thudded in her chest. Maybe it was because they just had sex but she felt some inexplicable bond between them.

He traced his finger across her cheeks without saying anything.

”Wha-” Her words were interrupted when he crushed his lips to hers kissing her slowly as if he wanted his kiss to say the words his mouth was too afraid to say.

”I have always imagined how it would be like when I finally claim you as mine. I didn't think it would be this good. Thank you, Angel.” He whispered and laid beside her staring at the ceiling.

Meredith smiled, ”No thank you. You made all these years of waiting worth it.”

Atlas turned to face her, lying on her side. He pulled her closer to him their nose touching each other.

”Now you're officially mine, just mine. I can't wait to teach you the kind of pleasure your body is capable of giving.” He whispered pressing a soft kiss on her lips.

Meredith chuckled, ”I will be a good student, Sir. Teach me all your ways.”

Atlas laughed and nipped her ear, ”Good girl.” He winked at her.

”Wait here, I'm coming.” Atlas said and lunged off the bed and disappeared to the bathroom.

Meredith smiled and closed her eyes. She remembered Atlas's touch, his lips, and the magical feeling of him inside her. It was the most wonderful feeling she has ever experienced.

Atlas came back a few minutes later. ”Ready for a bath?”

Meredith nodded, ”Yeah.”

Atlas carried her from the bed and she blushed. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her into the bathroom.

He lowered her into the tub already filled with water and Meredith moaned as the water swirled around her.

Atlas crouched beside her and Meredith raised her brows, ”What are you doing?”

”I'm bathing you.” He murmured.

Meredith opened her mouth and stared at him. His expression was mischief although she didn't miss the fire flickering in his eyes.

”Why? I can bath myself.”

”I know but I still want to bath you.” He whispered, brushing his lips against the outer rim of her ears.

Meredith shivered and bit her lips.

”Well…can you not stare at me like you want to devour me?” Meredith blushed and looked away. She was embarrassed to have him bath him but she didn't mind though.

”You're beautiful, I can't help myself.” He grinned.

Meredith flushed as his heated gaze leisurely grazed every inch of her exposed skin. He made her feel so wanted it was crazy. Heat pool inside her already sore core.

Needing a distraction from his intense gaze, she played with the water avoiding looking at him.

Not hearing him move, she risked a glance at him and saw the amused glint in his eyes.

”What?” She rolled her eyes.
