The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy Chapter 103

Luca laughs and strides forward, surprising me by taking my face in his hands again. “Ari,” he murmurs, “I don’t care about any of that. All of that is outdated moral bullshit that should be tossed out the window. We get one life, and when you meet someone that you have a connection with? A connection like this?” He shakes his head, staring into my eyes, suddenly looking so overwhelmed and baffled by the connection between us that it breaks my heart.

“Ari,” he murmurs, dropping a hand from my cheek and wrapping his arm tight around my waist, pulling me suddenly flush against him. “Who fucking cares?”

And I stare at him, searching for words, for some kind of response –

But then he moves, dipping his head low, pressing his lips to mine again, more firmly this time like he means it.

And damn it, I break.

I’m out of protests, out of words, and I just…kiss him.

My bodily response to him is immediate, and visceral, and intense.

A tiny moan escapes me as my eyes flutter shut and arms wrap around his neck. I lean my entire weight against him, not really intending to do it – my body is moving beyond me now. His lip slants over mine, his tongue pressing into my mouth in a way that sends shivers streaking through my entire body.

Luca’s mouth moves swiftly over mine, and every single second of it just sings to me with how right it is. I pull my mate closer as his arms wrap tight around my waist, forcing me to bend my head back on my neck, to submit to him completely.

And I do – I let Luca claim me with his mouth, with his arms, with his body pressed against me. I kiss him right back, marveling at the way that his soft lips can press so hard against mine, at how his tongue moving over my lower lip can make my breath come so short. God – it’s insane, the sudden relief and solace that floods me, because it feels so incredibly right.

I realize, quite suddenly, that I waited far too long for this – that my soul has been aching for him, for the feel of his mouth against me, his body pressed close. I am hungry for Luca in a way that feels desperate, like an animal long denied water. And like I’ve suddenly found a pool after days alone in the desert, I throw myself into this with abandon.

The fervor with which I kiss Luca suddenly intensifies, and I open my mouth to him completely. He takes full advantage of the situation, deepening the kiss, his tongue sweeping against mine, a hard shudder passing through him as one of my hands wraps in the fabric of his sweatshirt and pulls him close –

But it’s not enough, none of it’s enough – none of it is getting him as close as I need him to be. My other hand tangles in Luca’s hair as he moves his lips from my mouth, dragging his tongue across my jaw and down my neck like he could devour me –

A groan escapes Luca as he stumbles forward a step, as lost in me as I am in him, and then the hand that was around my waist dips lower, sliding down over my ass to grip me high on the back of my thigh.

I gasp, a shiver running through me, and I pull back for a moment as Luca’s hand moves – because no one has ever touched me there –

But he holds my gaze and just shakes his head, determined, before he presses his mouth back to mine and tightens his grip, pulling me up – up into his arms, so that our faces are level, so that he’s actually holding me against him, my feet no longer on the ground.

I groan, wrapping my legs around his waist, knowing full well that I am in deep trouble here and not giving a damn.
