**Chapter 47: You’ve Always Been Mine, Savannah p>
The night enveloped me in a cool embrace, sharp and invigorating, carrying the faint scent of impending rain as I discreetly slipped away from the vibrant chaos of the rehearsal dinner. The laughter and clinking of glasses faded into a distant echo, replaced by the tranquil hush of the gardens surrounding the restaurant. My heart raced, a steady thrum that resonated through my trembling hands as I leaned against the rough stone wall, desperately inhaling a breath that felt just out of reach.
It was then that I heard him before I even laid eyes on him—the steady, unhurried rhythm of his footsteps, as if he possessed an innate sense of where I would be. And indeed, he did.
My body, traitorous and unyielding, responded to his presence before I could even process it.
“Sav.” His voice caressed my skin, low and laced with an undercurrent of something dangerously alluring. He stepped closer, his warmth brushing against my back, his hand finding my shoulder—firm yet gentle, anchoring me. “You’re not okay p>
The area where his hand rested felt like it was igniting, a sudden wave of heat coursing through me, prickling my skin.
I nodded, but the words I wanted to say fled my lips. “I’m fine p>
“Clearly, you’re not.” His gaze locked onto mine, a piercing look that held me captive. “Who was that guy p>
“Henry. One of Dean’s lackeys.” My throat constricted, the name alone stirring a tempest of emotions within me.
“I should kill him.” The words slipped from his lips so quietly that they barely disturbed the air between us.
Oddly enough, it didn’t sound like a casual threat; it felt more like a promise.
“No need,” I murmured, though my heart raced at the thought. “He’s always been an asshole. I couldn’t stand him back in college p>
“He humiliated you. Being an asshole isn’t an excuse,” he countered, his voice low and fierce.
“Just let it go,” I whispered, my gaze inadvertently skimming over his mouth, betraying my thoughts.
His jaw tightened, a muscle flexing beneath the skin. “Why do you let people walk all over you p>
“Because…” My voice faltered. “…it’s easier to stroke the heel when you’re down p>
“And you’re one overprotective fake fiancé,” I teased, feeling an unexpected thrill as my body responded to his proximity, my nipples straining against the fabric of my bodice.
He noticed, his eyes darkening with a mix of desire and frustration. “You’re driving me insane,” he growled, the words vibrating with a tension that was almost palpable. His hand lingered on my hip, a heartbeat too long, and I found myself unable to move.
The air thickened between us, charged with an electric anticipation, like the calm before a storm. His thumb brushed my waist, igniting a spark that shot straight to the core of my longing. I told myself to step back, to create distance before things escalated further. But my body had other plans, betraying me in ways I couldn’t comprehend.
“You should go,” I whispered, though my fingers curled instinctively into the fabric of his jacket, unwilling to let him slip away.
He smirked, a glimmer of mischief dancing in his eyes. “Do you really want me to?” His breath was warm against my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
The truth was, I didn’t want him to leave—not in the slightest. But the way my lips parted, the way my knees felt weak beneath me, told him everything he needed to know.
Something in his gaze shifted, a dark hunger mingling with anger, both emotions intertwining in a way that left me breathless. “I’ve been wanting to do this all night,” he growled, his voice low and feral.
I didn’t have the chance to feign ignorance, nor did I want to.
And then, without warning, his mouth was on mine.
The kiss wasn’t gentle or tender; it was fierce and consuming, a collision that stole the very air from my lungs. His hands pinned mine above my head against the wall, the cold stone biting into my back, but I pressed against him instinctively, craving the heat and hardness that enveloped me.
Just as quickly as it began, he broke the kiss, leaving me gasping in protest.
He caught my arm, his grip unyielding, his gaze burning with a wild intensity that made my heart race. “Come with me,” he murmured, not as a request but as a command.
The restaurant blurred past as he guided me through a side door, down a dimly lit corridor that carried the faintest whiff of spices and smoke. The murmur of voices faded, leaving only the pounding of my heart echoing in my ears. He didn’t stop until we reached a shadowy corner behind a stack of wine crates, a place where no one would think to look for us.
Before I could gather my thoughts, he had me caged against the wall, his hands framing my face. The air between us ignited, his chest pressing against mine, our breaths mingling in a heated dance. Every nerve in my body ached for him, as if I had been starved for this moment.
“I want you, Savannah.” His voice was rough, filled with a deep longing that resonated within me.
My body hummed in response, anticipation coursing through me. I felt the same way—ever wanting him, needing him, craving him. Yet, I couldn’t shake the guilt that gnawed at me for wanting him so desperately.
But then, the next words that tumbled from his lips caught me completely off guard.
“The first time was supposed to clear my head of these thoughts, but instead, it ruined me. Now I want every inch of you p>
Our eyes locked, and my throat went dry, but a rush of heat pooled low in my belly. There was an insatiable hunger in his gaze, a primal need that mirrored my own.
“Roman…” I breathed, the sound barely escaping my lips.
His hand gripped my jaw, tilting my face up to his. “You have no idea what you’ve done to me. I’ve replayed every moment in my mind. I’m not letting that go. I’m not letting you go. Screw the friendship; I want you p>
A gasp escaped me, barely audible, as his thumb brushed across my lower lip with a tenderness that contrasted the intensity of his words.
I wished I could find the strength to respond, to articulate the storm of emotions swirling within me, but all I could do was open and close my mouth like a fish out of water, no coherent sounds emerging. I was utterly speechless in the face of such raw honesty.
Even as a defiant part of me screamed that we were on the brink of destroying what was left of our friendship, I couldn’t tear my gaze away from him, lost in the depths of his lust-darkened eyes.
“I don’t just want to sleep with you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand that you’re mine.” A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah p>
I tried to squeeze my thighs together, but he wouldn’t allow it; he stepped in closer, positioning himself between my legs as if he were the only one entitled to be there.
I stood there, entranced, my heart racing as I stared into those captivating green orbs.
“You think I could ever forget you after that night? I’ve been hard for you since. Every inch of you is mine, and I’m not done taking you—ever p>
If it weren’t for his weight anchoring me against the wall, I might have crumpled to the ground, overwhelmed by the intensity of his words.
“Roman… Is it really wise to—” I whispered, breathless and panting, my mind racing.
His eyes roamed over my face, searching for something. “The first time wasn’t enough. I’m still starving for you. And until I’ve had you so many times that you forget your own name, I won’t stop p>
