Free The Eyes Tell No Lies by Marquaylla Lorette Page B

couldn’t help it , he had to kiss her even if it was on the cheek. He leaned down into the car, kissed
     her on the cheek, and quickly retreated before he pulled her face toward him and kissed
     her without a care in the world. He shut her door and made his way to the driver
     side.
    A fire started at her cheek from where he kissed her and descended to parts no one else seemed to be able to stoke. She had
     never felt anything like it before and it was driving her mad, so mad that she wanted
     to reach across the seat and kiss him senseless. Her ex-boyfriend she had throughout
     college didn’t even stir these feelings in her. He was waking her body up from a deep sleep that no one else could. She wanted to feel
     his hands caress her body as his mouth follow ed them . She shook her head trying to clear it from the thoughts that were making her panties
     damp with anticipation. She quickly thought about something that would take her mind
     of f Cris and what she wanted him to do to her and thought about her ex-boyfriend, Xavier.
    Xavier was everything she thought she wanted in a man. He accepted her for who she
     was and was her first everything. Her first boyfriend, her first kiss, and he took
     her virginity after a year and a half of dating. She thought if she held out for
     a long time and he stayed with her , then he was the one . How wrong she had been. After the first time they had sex, he became possessive and thought because he took
     her virginity he owned her mind and body. Xavier wanted to know where she was at
     all times of the day and whom she was with, even if it was her mother and father.
     It all went downhill one night a few weeks before their graduation when she forgot
     to answer her phone. He showed up at her house the next morning when her parents
     left. She thought he may have been watching her house because as soon as her mother
     and father pulled away, he was at her door. He grabbed her by the hair and dragged
     her into the living room as soon as she answered the door. What Xavier didn’t know was her father had her continue her boxing, Aikido, and Krav Maga. She
     quickly found his weakness from her enhanced hearing and took him down. Her father
     walked in just as she flipped Xavier over, causing him to land on their glass table.
    “Now you see why I thought she needed some kind of defense training, even if she is
     blind,” her father turned to her shocked mother then sai d before grabbing Xavier by the arm and dragging him out of their house.
    Arie hadn’t seen Xavier since that day, not even at graduation. She suspected her
     father and her uncles had something to do with it , especially after she heard the one-sided conversation a few days later .
    Arie and Cris rode the whole way in silence, both thinking about the kiss. Wondering
     if a kiss on the cheek lit their bodies on fire, what would a mouth-watering, heated,
     tongues-dueling kiss do?
    Cris didn’t know what to think since Arie never said anything about the kiss. It
     had him contemplating whether or not she had the same feelings he did coursing through
     her body. Fuck, would you focus on the case before you miss something, Cris thought as he pulled into a dark, practically deserted parking lot with only
     one lamppost.
    “This parking lot is the perfect place to abduct someone. Why doesn’t he do it here?”
     Cris wondered aloud.
    “He wants to feel the rush of getting away with kidnapping someone in the daytime,”
     Arie said as she pulled down the visor and applied a fresh coat of lip-gloss.
    “Yeah, I think so too and it is also feels like he is taunting us all,” Cris said
     as he took a deep breath and blew it out.
    “Let’s go,” Arie said as she reached for the handle of the passenger side door.
    “Wait, hold on a second, I will get the door for you,” Cris said as he took the keys
     out of the ignition and exited the car.
    Arie could hear footsteps quickly approaching them just as he opened her door.
