We clashed together like a tragic wreck. It was wet and hard, his lips taking mine and crushing them. I moaned into his mouth and his grip on my throat tightened. The pressure wasn't enough to cut off air, but I felt his touch and no one else's.
Atlas kissed like he lived. He was powerful and forceful, taking whatever he wanted. His tongue parted my lips and I opened to him. I felt the rumble in his chest when he tasted me. His hand squeezed tighter and I welcomed the pleasurable pain. It was exciting and daring at the same time; a toxic mixture.
I squeezed my knees together, pinning his hips between my shaky legs. His body was hard and hot on mine. Atlas grabbed behind my knee and pulled, making me slide down to the floor. He never once released my lips as he lowered me to the floor and hovered over my body. The tile was cold on my back, cooling me down as I was burning up.
I could feel him all over me, although he was only touching my lips and neck. He devoured my mouth and I let him. If I could remember these touches and this moment in the house, maybe I could keep my sanity. Something less devastating to concentrate on and relive in my memories.
Growing bold, or impatient, I put my hands on his shoulders. The muscles flexed under my palms, and I loved the powerful feeling. His hand tightened on my throat when I dug my nails into his back. Atlas was holding back and restraining himself. I could feel it in his body. He could easily break me into a thousand pieces.
"This is a bad idea, Little Star," he said with his lips brushing mine. "I will hurt you. That's what I do."
"I'm already hurt," I whispered back.
Atlas pulled away to look down at me. He took in my lips that were red and swollen from his kisses. My neck that was under his hand, covering any marks. He watched my chest heaving and panting under my wet shirt.
Without warning, he gripped the neckline with both hands and tore the shirt down the middle. He pulled it open and lowered his lips to the skin between my breasts. I gasped when his tongue tasted me. I squirmed under him, but he pinned me with his body. I was trapped again. No matter what I did, Atlas had me trapped. I'm wasn't sure I cared at that moment.
"You think I can make you feel better?" he asked, his mouth trailing down my stomach.
I couldn't answer him. I didn't know if I thought I would feel better. I might feel numb. I could feel less angry. Was someone who only brought me pain and fear capable of taking away those feelings as well? Even he said himself, he hurts. All I knew was that right then, I didn't feel any of that.
I opened my eyes and watched as Atlas licked and sucked his way back up my stomach. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the glint of metal on the floor.
His gun.
My Thoughts
Holy shit!!! I loved it!! NO other words needed. I was amazed by the authors writing and being able to keep a readers attention with this somewhat dark romance. The details are what really got me and blew my mind away. The feelings that the characters went though really grabbed a hold of you and held on. They made sure you felt what the characters felt in every way. Both the male and female lead characters are strong willing, caring and deep down hard and soft when needed. I was drawn to them right from the start. Atlas what a really kewl and unique name for someone so strong, but the meaning of his name and how it's placed into this story are amazing. Stella normally when I hear that name I think of a old black women lol. this time however I think of a weak girl who is trying to just live day by day till the end. At first she isn't strong at all but as the story goes on you find out that she really is strong in every way. By the end of the story I couldn't believe how much stronger the female lead is. Once reaching this point I wanted more and crave more I have so many thoughts on what could have happened to the main characters and the not so main characters ACE and Liddy that my mind is giving me whiplash. lol. MUST READ 2 person POV story. It's hot, sexy, dark, full of life, love, fear ,and over coming that fear. Alpha males like nothing before. I blushed and loved it. I got sucked into the words, which made this story a fast paced read for me once I started I couldn't stop for anything in fact I think I was even late for work I just had to do one more page over and over again. 5* read for sure. My first time reading from this amazing and wonderful author and it wont be my last not if all her work is so well written and told like Atlas.
