Chapter 16 Keeping Secrets
...TRINITY POV...
I can see the pain and confusion in his eyes. Colton is hurting, and his heart breaks bit by bit every second we need to be here in Karlo's house. What kills him the most is that he is lying here, and he knows that I am in the next room in another man's bed. It is his arms that I should fall asleep in at night. And now he wants to know what happened last night.
So I kneel down in front of him and take his face gently between my hands. I have the biggest desire to kiss him. I run my thumb over his trembling lips; my touch is making his body crave me. He slowly brings his lips closer to mine and let his breath linger over my lips for just a fraction of a minute. I know he wants to kiss me, but he needs to know what happened last night before he gives his body to me again.
I never knew that Colton could be such a gentle man. I guess it just takes one woman to bring him to his knees. But what brings him even further to the floor is this thing with Karlo. He needs that peace of mind to know for sure that I am his and that I always have been.
"Colton, nothing happened, apart from trying to kiss me."
"He did what?"
"He was trying to make you angry and to stab you where it hurts the most by what he said in the kitchen."
I can see the rage that is starting to burn in his beautiful hazel eyes. He is consumed by pure anger that is burning hot under his skin. His voice hitch as he tries to speak again.
"What did he do?"
"He tried to kiss me."
"And why did you not call for me, Trinity?"
"He told me if I know what was good for me, then I will keep quiet."
"But what stopped you from telling me now in the kitchen or even in the shower?"
I know what Colton is thinking; he thinks that I was going to lie to him and hide this away from him. I was just not ready; I wanted to wait until he got more comfortable with the idea that we should be stuck here. I was hoping that he would understand the situation and that it would not upset him that much anymore. But I am foolish to think that he shall even wink at a possibility of being happy about it.
"Trinity, I asked you a question. Why did you not call for me to help you?"
"I did not want you to get mad like you are getting now."
"I am not mad; I am fucking furious. He is going to fucking pay for touching you; he is dead the minute he steps his foot in that door!"
Then he sees the tears that are slowly building in the corners of my eyes, and he pulls my body closer to where he is sitting on the edge of the bed.
"We need to get out of here. I don't know how long I will be able to do this. It is killing me slowly deep inside."
"I wish that we can just run away, but it will only make daddy mad, and then he never will let us be together."
"Let us go to him and explain to him what is really happening here. If we can get away from Karlo, then it is a good start."
I throw my arms around his neck; I look deep into his big brown eyes. The pain that was there before has eased, then I feel the tears start to trickle in the corners of my eyes. He nudges my chin, and then... he lays his soft lips gently against mine.
"I have been a fool princess for pushing you away while I know more than anything that you mine."
But he might not say it that quick, for I am lying to him. The thing is that Karlo did kiss me, and to make it even worse is that I let him do it. I was afraid that he would force himself on me, so just to not make a scuffle, I let him do what he wanted. If Colton has to find out, then Karlo will be dead, and he shall never trust me ever again. I feel the urge to just give this all up and go where no one can find me. But then Colton has to go and say this...you are mine...
...COLTON POV...
... Ya...I said it...
...Trinity Stone is mine...
What made me say it, I truly do not know. Guess the intimate moment just called for it to be said.
So I claim those lips.

I slowly move in and press my lips against hers that are slightly parted and ready to be kissed. They are warm and even more softer than I can remember. I place my hand at the small of her back and pull her even closer. Then I lean in to whisper in her ear.
"I have missed you."
As my lips run slowly down from the tip of her ear down the bare of her neck to the edge of her shoulder, I can see her body slightly shiver. I know it's not from the crisp cool air but the intensity of my touch.
My lips roll down her shoulder to her collarbone; I stop and take a deep breath. I part my lips and slightly nibble at her skin. She gasps, and I can hear her moan as I do it again.
I slide my hands over her shoulders and tangle my fingers in the straps of her dress. I run my hands down her back, and her body shivers. But it is not my hands I wish to touch her with; I want to touch her with my lips. I want to kiss her all the way down her spine. I want to grab her panties in my teeth and rip them off from her body.
Drunk on endorphins, my only desire is to touch her, to move my hands over the smooth curves of her body and feel her perfect softness. The overwhelming passion and clear lust have taken over my entire body. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
I move my hand to the back of her head, my fingers tangling in her long, dark chocolate hair, lightly pulling her into me.
My insistent mouth is parting her trembling lips; she is inflicting sensations I have never known I was capable of feeling.
"I want to make love to you, princess. I want to take you slow and take my time."
... Ya...I have grown soft...
Trinity Stone has brought me completely down; I have become completely undone. Colton Cruz is slowly becoming another man, a man that is hopelessly in love with a woman that will never be mine.
... Ya...I said it...
...I am in love...
But there is no way that I am taking her here in this hell hole. We need to convince Vic what a bad idea this really is. Am I scared?
...I am fucking terrified...

"Princess, let's skip the godawful dresses and go speak to your dad."
...TRINITY POV...
Colton is taking a big risk talking to my dad. He is either going to shoot him or beat him to death. There are a few other things I can think of too, but I do not want to scare the shit out of him. But let's not think of that now, for I do not know what he is going to tell my dad.
But first, I need to feel his body against mine. So before he puts on that shirt and even dares to cover himself tucked into a pair of denims, I am going to make him mine.
... Yes...I said it...
...Colton Cruz is mine....
So I go to kick the door closed and slowly start closing the distance to where he is still sitting at the edge of the bed. I gently place my hands on his chest and push him back into the bed. The satin sheets wrap around his body, and I crawl my way up to his chiseled abs and further up his sculpted chest. And as I go to straddle him, I feel this throbbing between my legs.
"What are you doing, Trinity."
"I am making love to you."
"Not here; I don't want to pick up any disease that asshole might have. I would rather die than touch anything that he has."
...Fuck...
...I am dead...
He is going to find out, and when he does, he is never going to want to be with me.
So feeling somewhat rejected, I slide off his body.
I need to tell him, but I can't.
