The Two Kings (Afterlife Saga) (82 page)

“Keira’s told me so much about you
.
” Yeah
,
like what a bitch you are! I wanted to add but had to swallow my insult.

“None of it true
,
I’m sure
.
” She laughed and waved her hand about in a pathetic attempt at flirting.

“Hey
,
is that your car?” She asked looking past me like I didn’t even exist
.

“Yeah
,
she’s one of Keira’s favourites
.
” He answered and then gave me a wink
,
which I’m happy to say Hilary didn’t miss.

“Only one? Gosh if that was me I would favour them all, I’m sure
.
” Hate her
,
Hate her! I repeated over and ove
r in my head and by the look from
Draven
,
I think he heard.

“Well that one has
special memories for us, it was the first time I drove Keira home…Do you remember?” He turned to me and I’m sure my eyes glistened at the memory
. I would never forget that
night if I lived to be
two
hundred years old.

“Well at least
it was you
driving or you might still be trying to get here…Kizzy Cat still drives like an old woman no doubt!” My hands formed fists by my side and when Draven actually laughed at
her comment I shot him a severe glare
.

“There’s nothing wrong with being car
e
ful
!
” I stated but Hilary just laughed at me.

“I would rather live life on
the edge any day. The t
h
rill of
a full throttle speeding car
and the
excitement of danger
is what
gets
my blood
racing
and…”

“I think my sister
’
s waiting to say hi, Dra…Umm Dominic
.
” I pulled at his arm
before she could finish, making
me sound like a complete, boring geek. Draven soon got the message and opened the door for me, unfortunately he had kept it open for Hilary instead of slamming
it
in her face like she deserved.

“Oh
,
what a gentleman you are
!
” She said while fluffing her hair at him making me roll my eyes at how shameful an act it all was. Draven’s only response was a nod but Hilary beamed at him like he was godly. If only she
knew
how true that was.

“Dominic, it’s nice to see you again
.
” Libby said like she was the mother figure in all this. Well
,
if that was true then Frank was the big brother because he came up to him and slapped him on the back like he was one of the guys.

“Dom, how ya doing man?” Draven looked touched by such warmth in his welcome and he shook his hand.

“I’m very well
,
thank you and I see you and your beautiful wife are both good
.
” Libby couldn’t keep the grin fr
om her face and Frank beamed with pride at the sound of his wife being praised. Draven was truly gifted when it came to knowing exactly the right thing to say.

I grabbed my
new hooded jacket from the coat
stand
and Hilary looked at me like she wanted to rip my head off.

“What
,
you’re going now and leaving me?” Oops I had forgotten about tonight.

“Oh sorry
,
I forgot that me and Draven have to go somewhere first but…I’m sure you could get a lift
.
” At this her eyebrows came forwards and her lips formed an even thinner line.

“I could have a car come and pick you up
.
” Draven suggested and her hope was suddenly re
-
ignited. Libby saw my face drop and nudged Frank.

“That’s alright Dom, I have to go into town later for Lib’s chocolate baby fix
,
so I can just bring her with me and drop her off
.
”

“Her! Who am I
,
the cat’s mother? I think I would prefer…”

“So all
’s
settled then, thanks Frank you’re the man!” I gave him a sisterly punch on the arm and pulled Draven back towards the door. I didn’t need to look at Hilary to know I was getting “I hate you” looks from behind.

“Good seeing you again Dominic” My sister said but it was drowned out by Hilary saying
,

“Looking forward to seeing you later Dominic
.
” Draven heard the little growl that escaped from the back of my throat.
For once he was the one trying to keep up with me as I was close to running to the car.
He opened my door
for me first and I saw him wave back to the house where Hilary was still watching. He got in the car just in time to hear me mocking my cousin.

“
Look forward to seeing you later Dominic
!”
I repeated in a squeaky voice. Draven burst out laughing which would normally have had me in sti
t
ches
,
but I was too far gone in my bad mood to find the humour.
Instead I crossed my arms tightly over my chest and took deep angry breaths.
Why now, why ever, why couldn’t the girl just leave me alone? It was clear neither of us liked o
ne an
other, so why did she go out of her way to make my life a misery? I was so caught
up
in my own self-pity that I didn’t realise we were far from the house and heading out of town.

“Where are we going?”

“You said we had to go somewhere, so that’s where I’m taking you
.
”

“What
,
to a place called ‘Somewhere’
?”  I teased making him raise an eyebrow.

“Is that Keira humour I detect, but no
,
sur
ely not…i
t couldn’t be. My girlfriend is far too distracted by the unwanted visit of an evil cousin to be making jokes
.
” I bit my lip to try and prevent the smile that was creeping across my
mouth
but in the end I failed and laughed anyway.

“Right that’s it! Who are you and what have you done with my girlfriend?”

“Very funny Draven
!
”

“Ah it must be you, the fake Keira would never call me by my last name, she always calls me Dominic
.
”

“What like my
cousin?
”
As soon as I said it I regretted it.

“Ha! You’re jealous!” He said with triumph and I
cringed.

“I’m not! Even though she was practically drooling over you!” Why was I just providing him with more proof that he was right?

“You know I find it adorable when you get all possessive over me
,
but
maybe now I can be forgiven for the same sentiments over certain human boys that will remain nameless
.
” He was right. What lengths would I go to
, to
keeping Hilary’s grubby little hands off
my
Draven?

“Maybe
,
” I said sheepishly.

“So are you going to tell me where we
’
re going or not?”
I asked changing the subject.
He looked so
damn
sexy when he controlled the car the way he did
. One hand on the wheel and the other changing through the gears as the machine demanded it. He wasn’t one for
doing the speed limit and along these empty roads he moved as if
him and the
car w
ere one, gliding along as though they owned the road and commanded every bend to their will.

“I think not
!
” He was smirking and a trade mark ba
d boy grin made my skin prick
at the thought of being touched by those strong hands that gripped the steering wheel like he was in
a
formula one. I had to look out of the window to hide my blushes at the thought of having sex in this car…Ok
,
well maybe not
in
the car but maybe on it, after all it wasn’t the most spacious vehicle inside.

“What are you thinking about?” I think he must have caught my smile
by my reflection in the window because now he was staring at me.

“Nothing
.
”

“Is that so, then why can’t you look at me and why are you biting your lip Keira?”
Damn
it, he was good!

“No reason
.
” I trie
d to sound convincing but given
I was one hell of a bad liar I was fooling no one. He looked so bad
,
the way he leaned across to me with a look of seductive authority.

“Come here
!
” I did as I was told and leaned over to meet him in the middle.

“We wouldn’t be having improper thoughts now
,
would we Keira?” I gulped and shook my head combining it with a feeble “Nn…no
.
” That’s when he gripped my leg with his free hand and worked it up to under my sweater dress.

“Really, lets change that then should
we
?
” Oh God what this man did
to me!

I wanted
to scream pull over and take me now! But I couldn’t speak. I don’t know which he controlled better, the car or me. My insides were on fire and as his fingers were gripped just below my sex
,
he was also sending me crazy
,
waiting to be touched
there
. My head went back into the seat and I closed my eyes to moan.

“And how about now…any dirty thoughts?” His teasing me just added to the excitement and I only just managed to shake my head to keep the playfulness going. This made his fingers edge further up my inner thigh causing me to moan even louder.

“Umm
,
funny that
,
considering the reaction I’m receiving
.
” Unfortunately we were approaching another corner making him need his free hand to change gear.

“Take over for me
.
” A
t first I thought he was referr
ing to the car but when he nodded down towards where his hand had been I looked back at him in shock. I couldn’t do that…Not in front of him!

“We
’
re not shy are we
?
” The corner had come and gone but he wouldn’t touch me there until I complied with his request.

“I can’t…I
…
”

“Of course you can, just like this
.
” He spoke so softly that it almost hypnotized me. He picked up my hand and placed it where his had been. Now with his hand on top of mine he started moving it to a rhythm that felt like a symphony. I was getting lost in the feeling of euphoria and every combined movement from us both and the machine
we sat in
was sending me over the edge of ecstasy. I was now moved over the most sensitive part and thanks to all the suspense I wanted to erupt as soon as pressure was applied. I cried out as it was nearing and my body thrust u
pwards counter
acting every move we made.

But then I realised it was no longer
“
we
”,
it was now only me. I was pleasuring myself
and Draven was watching with purple eyes. I wanted to stop from shame but my body wouldn’t let me. I was too far gone and lost in a madness that felt so rig
ht
,
it was
in
sane.

I heard him groa
n and when I sneaked a look he was clearly getting as much from watching this as I was from feeling it. His evidence was bulging out and trying to break free. I could barely understand how he was still driving as most of his attention was focused on me and my wandering hands. I lick
ed my lips and heard another groa
n ripple from him. I continued to suck at my bottom lip as my pleasure was increasing and nearing its height. I felt it surge within me and with a few more precise movements of my fingers I was there.

I arched my back and let out a gasp so animated that I blocked out the sound of the engine’s roar.
Draven growled as my reflexes w
ere causing me to vibrate as the sensation of coming to
my climax
wasn’t quite over. My body gave out one last jerk and then the aftermath started to settle. I was breathing heavy and I covered my face with my forearm to hide the shame that had set in.
