CHAPTER 130 : TOOK HER BREATH AWAY

Kira smiled warmly and raised her hand to Aiden's cheek. She caressed his cheeks, her smile growing wider, before she leaned in and gave him a soft peck on the lips. 

"Let's go," she whispered, her gaze not leaving his.

Aiden nodded and smiled back as he started pulling away to stand; his heart warmed from her gentle affection and soft peck.

As Kira sat up and got ready to get out of bed, she glanced around, noticing that Bryan wasn't in the room. 

"Where's Bryan?" She asked Aiden, her brows furrowed slightly. "Did he go somewhere?"

Aiden opened his mouth to respond, but before he could speak, the bathroom door opened and Bryan walked out.

"I'm here," Bryan said in a casual, deep voice. "Missing me already?"

Kira turned, a smile creeping up her face again. "Yes. As a matter of fact, I missed you so very much," she admitted as she got up and walked toward him before he could reach the bed.

She stood close, Bryan looking at her with a playful smile and a raised eyebrow. 

He tilted his head slightly to one side, his gaze locked intensely on hers. It was as if he was silently teasing her, asking "What are you up to?" with just his eyes and also daring her to do whatever she was thinking of doing.

His expression was daring, sassy, flirtatious and charming, making her feel like he could see right through her.

Kira, noticing the look on his face, laughed softly and asked, "What?" But before Bryan could say anything sassy as she knew he would, she rested her hand lightly on his chest, tilted her head up, and kissed him softly.

Her lips pressed against his in a sweet, slow kiss before she pulled back slightly, not wanting to give him too much, and then murmured, "Let's go have dinner."

 

Even after she pulled back, Bryan still had that smoldering look on his face.

He was a bit caught off guard, but of course, he most definitely did not mind her stealing a kiss from him so quickly.

And just as Kira turned to leave, he smirked, and his hand moved swiftly, gripping her waist then yanking her back against him.

Her body pressed into his, and she gasped from shock, her fingers gripping his arms for balance.

"That was quite short, love," Bryan leaned in and said to her. "I wasn't ready."

And before she could process his words, much less respond, his lips crashed against hers.

Bryan didn't ease into it—he took.

His grip on her waist tightened as he held her in place, and the kiss was not soft. It was deep, hard, rough, and full of hunger, like he had been starved for years. 

The way he kissed her made her stomach flutter, and she melted into it, her legs almost turning into jelly.

Bryan's lips moved with force, claiming her. He wanted to leave her breathless, the kiss almost overwhelming.

Kira herself could not keep up, and a small, helpless whimper escaped her, which was muffled against his lips. And that whimper only spurred him on.

She could feel herself losing control over her body even more as Bryan's tongue brushed against her lips, tracing the seam before slipping inside. He tasted her, teased her, and deepened the kiss even further.

And just as immediately as the kiss came, that was how he broke it off, releasing his grip on her waist at the same time.

Because of how fast he broke it off and released her, Kira didn't have any time to register and stumbled slightly, her legs almost giving out.

She quickly cleared her throat, trying and failing to compose herself as she hurriedly smoothed and arranged her hair, feeling like she looked breathless, which she actually did. 

"I-umm," she starts, not meeting his gaze—her eyes looking everywhere but at him. "I will be in the dining room."

Then she turned and walked out of the room, her steps quick—almost like she was running away.

As Bryan watched her leave the room, he laughed quietly, knowing his plan was well executed.

"What is wrong with you, brother?" Aiden sighed, shaking his head as he tried not to laugh. "What exactly is wrong with you?"

"Me?" Bryan shrugged, still grinning. "What do you mean?" He asked and started walking toward the door, Aiden following close behind.

"You know what I mean." Aiden said.

"No, I don't," Bryan replied as they stepped out of the room and Aiden shut the door. 

"You will have to spell it out for me," he said to Aiden as they started down the stairs.

"Oh really?" Aiden asked him sarcastically. "You would like that, wouldn't you?"

"Yes, I would," Bryan answered wholeheartedly.

"F*ck you," Aiden muttered and let out a short laugh. "Sometimes I feel like something is really wrong with you."

"Aiden," Bryan said, glancing over his shoulder at his brother, who was still behind him. "I really don't know what you mean. You don't have to be so aggressive."

"You know damn well what you did back there," Aiden spelled it out for him, even though he knew very well that Bryan knew exactly what he meant. "She nearly collapsed."

"And that is my fault?" Bryan asked and then hummed as if genuinely thinking about it. "Well, she was the one who walked up to me, placed her soft hands on my chest, and kissed me first. I just—"

He grinned. "—returned the favor."

"Of course you did," Aiden muttered and ran a hand through his hair. "You and your teasing. That's my trait though, you keep stealing it."

"It's borrowing, brother—Borrowing," Bryan corrected Aiden. Then he exhaled satisfyingly before speaking again. "You don't use your supposed trait well, so I am borrowing it. But, it seems like it is also a trait of mine."

"You are so annoying," Aiden stated, completely unserious.

"I know," Bryan agreed as they reached the last step. "And still, you put up with me."

"Unfortunately," Aiden responded while suppressing a laugh as they approached the dining room.

In the dining room, before they stepped in, they heard their mother ask Kira a question. 

"Kira, dear, are you okay? Why are your cheeks so red?" 

Hearing this, Aiden didn't need to look at his brother to know that Bryan would, in fact, take it as an opportunity to make Kira feel very embarrassed. And indeed, Bryan did just that the moment they stepped into the room.

"I kissed her," Bryan announced casually, then shot Kira a sideways smirk before adding, "Hard."
