Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 65

Demanding a kiss in exchange for information is so like Edward, I thought as I looked down at Edward’s face. He still had his eyes closed as he waited for my kiss. His eyelashes are so long, and this scene is making me think of the classic kissing scene between Sleeping Beauty and the Prince except for the role is reversed and the Prince in this case was quite evil.

It’s just a kiss. I’ll give him a peck on his lips and then I’ll find out how Edward managed to disappear into thin air all those years ago. I leaned down slowly and then closed my eyes as I placed my lips gently on his. Just as I was about to remove my lips from his, I felt his hand at the back of my head holding my head firmly downwards crushing our lips against each other. Edward moaned a little as his lips attacked mine, parting my lips so that he could taste me. His tongue slipped into my wet mouth and mingled with mine as he hungrily sucked on my lips.

His armed pulled my body down so I was laying on top of his body as he continued to ravage my mouth. Maybe it was because we haven’t seen each other for a while, Edward seemed extra aggressive and passionate today. However, I doubt that he hasn’t been with other women in the time that we’ve been apart. His hand slid under my short nightgown to cup and squeeze my butt as his other arm hugged me to him.

“Edward…we…” I tried to speak while trying to stop our kiss.

“I missed you,” Edward whispered seductively before he continued to kiss me even more deeply. I couldn’t hold myself back much longer and I was moaning softly into his lips as we kissed. I felt his hand slipping down from my butt towards the sensitive spot in between my legs. Then his fingers found the opening of my pussy and started stroking me there gently. Ah…as always, his touch feels amazing…

“Edward, please stop…” I said in between a break in our kiss. We should stop before we…

“You’re already soaked here. You’re wetter than usual, is it because you missed me too?” Edward teased as his fingers slowly slipped into my hot hole. My hips jerked a little at the pleasurable sensation and my walls instantly clenched around his fingers. I need to stop this before I become a hot mess in his arms…

“Edward, please stop…we can…later,” I begged him in broken phrases interrupted by my lusty moans. His fingers were moving and wriggling inside of me, and it was driving me insane with desire.

“You’re right…,” Edward replied with regret in his voice. His arms loosened its hold on me, and I felt his hot fingers leaving my wet entrance.

I sighed a little with relief that we could get back on track. I was still panting a little from our make out session, but I knew I needed to pull myself together as fast as possible to continue with my mission.

“You got way more than a kiss. So, can you show me now?” I reminded him of our deal.

“I always keep my word,” Edward retorted a little grumpily.

I sat on the bed and watched as Edward got off the bed. He strode confidently toward the row of built-in wooden closets that lined one side of the wall. That sure is a lot of wardrobe space for a high school guy. Either Edward had a lot of clothes or…

“Sorry to let you down, but I had no part in building what you are about to see. This mansion is very old, and I guess during war times in the past, it was essential for mansion like these to have secret escape routes. My grandfather told me of this secret route when I was a little child although he didn’t tell me exactly where it was in this room. That wasn’t hard to figure out if you knew who built this mansion, his birthdate and therefore, his star sign,” Edward explained matter-of-factly as he stopped and stood in front of a pair of closet doors.

I got off the bed and joined him at his side. My curiosity is really getting the best of me. I don’t see how different this pair of doors is compared to the others.

“Aries. He was an Aries and if you look carefully here, you can see a small Aries star sign engraved here. There are other star sign symbols on other doors but since he was Aries, this must be the door,” Edward explained as he pointed to a very small engraving at the top of the door. I squinted my eyes to try to see the engraving he just told me about.

Edward opened the closet door and inside were his high school uniform. Just like an old trick from the movies, pushing the clothes aside revealed the wooden back of the closet. Edward removed the wood and there behind the back of the closet, were stairs.

“Take my hand,” Edward said as he opened his hand to me.

“We’re going in there?” I asked.

“If you want to get outside unspotted, then yeah…” he replied before grabbing my hand and yanking me inside.

Once inside Edward closed the closet door, arranged the clothes back as it was before then closed the back of the closet with the wood once again. We were now standing side-by-side in the dark at the start of a stairway leading down.

“Don’t let go of my hand,” Edward said as he squeezed my hand tighter in his. To be honest, it is dark, the space is small, and I was getting scared. I wouldn’t even dream of letting go of his hand in this situation.

Then there was light and I realized that Edward had just turned on a small flashlight. Someone came here well prepared, I thought. We walked down the stairs then into something like an underground tunnel. After quite a while of walking in the underground tunnel we emerged somewhere in the middle of what must be the estate’s general garden. Surprisingly, we walked so far that we were already on the edge of the garden. Even more surprising was the fact that there was a black car disguised in the darkness right there waiting for us.
