His Sanity by Mirah Selim (great book club books .txt) 📖

Author Pov

Catelin gulped feeling her wet lips brushing his. While Lucifer only stared at her with desperate desire swirling in his gaze. His eyes wavered in anticipation at the sight of her wet smooth skin.

His arms were wrapped around her body securely. Her half body was above the water but still, it looked extremely tiny in front of him.

"Catelin." He whispered in a heavy deep voice. His Adam's apple bobbed upside down. He was losing his control with every second passing by.

Her wet tiny body attached against his half-naked ones burnt his desires higher. He didn't want to do something he would regret afterwards but he knew if she kept on looking at him without doing anything he might lose it.

Catelin's body vibrated in nervousness hearing his raspy voice. Her lips shivered feeling a cold breeze hitting her face. Her fists that were clutching his bare biceps increase their pressure.

"Lucifer." She whispered making him gulp down. His eyes danced between her bright green orbs and her cherry lips.

"Who are you." She asked breaking his wild fantasies. Her heart was drumming in her ears. She was so close to losing her control and getting lost in his warmth.

But against her own will, she refused to take an advantage of him. As she still didn't know what was the truth behind his beautiful hazel eyes.

Was his innocent gaze the real truth or that was just a mare facade to hide this sinister glare? His eyes were telling her many things. Telling her many unsaid words.

But still, her heart refused to accept that the man she fell for. The man she took care of wasn't what she always had thought of. She refused to believe that it was just a lie. A beautiful lie hiding an ugly truth.

"I am Lucifer doll. You're Lucifer." He whispered back making her gulp. She leaned her head back a little so there could be a little space between them.

She made a little bit of distance but their noses were still brushing against each other. Lucifer's heart fell in disappointment watching her resisting his touch.

He knew it wouldn't be easy to win her but it was getting hard to control when she was this close to him. His body heat risen feeling her moving her tiny hand from his bicep to his bare shoulder.

"Then who was the one I knew for years. That innocent little Lucifer." Instantly not so innocent thoughts of his faded away and annoyance flooded in his veins as he rolled his eyes at her words.

"He was a lie. A lie that wasn't supposed to be created but it did. His coward self made that lie. Forget about that kid. I am the reality doll. I am your only reality." He said slowly bringing his big palm near her wet cold cheek and brushing his fingers against her smooth skin.

Catelin couldn't help but shiver at his touch. His hand was wet and cold but still, it didn't fail to warm her body. Heat rushed up in her veins making her flush at the sight.

His naked chest was slightly touching hers. Water was dripping down his face, hair and neck making her gulp down. She didn't want to feel the emotions the sight was forcing her to feel.

Her eyes widened when Lucifer started leaning to her face. His gaze was stuck on her shivering lips while his grip started tightening on her waist trying to pull her more closer.

Before his lips could meet hers she turned her head to the side letting his wet yet warm lips come in contact with her cold jawline.

Lucifer froze in his place. He had no idea what was he even thinking. Was he really going to kiss her? Well, his senses were losing each second and he didn't know what he was even thinking anymore. Only her beautiful plump lips invaded his sanity.

"One Lie can't make everything right Lucifer. It can only increase doubts. If you lied for years then it will not be hard for you to do it again. Because I can see your lying again." Lucifer stayed frozen near her jawline brushing his lips against her skin.

It was hard for Catelin to not let out a moan when his lips met her sensitive skin which was already on fire. But she still decided otherwise.

But even after trying her best to control. Her hands still didn't stop from clutching his shoulders more tightly. Her dainty nails squeezed his rough skin in nervousness. Her heart was going crazy at the proximity.

"If you're Lucifer then why did you disappear when I tried to leave. Why did that lie again appear? I know why. Because you're not the reality as well." She finally leaned back turning her head towards him.

Lucifer as well leaned back staring into her eyes. His jaw was clenched and he was obviously in anger. And that was a plus point for Catelin. She knew it might be easy for her to get him to speak the truth in anger.

"You're a lie too. You're not Lucifer. You're just trying to be him. But the reality is we both know you're not Lucif--- ah"

Before she could continue provoking Lucifer held her waist up making her instantly wrap her arms and legs around him. Her arms tightly held his neck fearing to fall. And legs wrapped around his torso as she thought he might drop her in the water.

His naked chest again got pressed against her wet ones. She did exactly what he wanted her to. And in a swift movement, she was pinned against the edge of the pool.

She gasped out feeling him hovering over her. His giant body completely overpowered her small ones. Her arms were still holding him tightly while her legs were still around his naked torso.

Her face was above his and it made him look up at her flushed face. The position wasn't innocent at all. If he wants he could easily take her right there. He could easily make her as his.

But he didn't. He wasn't ready to stoop this low just to have her. He wanted to hear her pleasurable moans and her equal desire for him just the way he feels for her when he will claim her wholly.

She slowly unfolded her eyes looking slightly down at him as his glare was settled on hers. She gulped down feeling a fear creeping in her veins.
