Crossroads of Desire

Part 17

I heard Adrian groan as he pressed against my back side more, that sound went straight in between my legs. I felt a surge of electricity run through my body, and my heart skipped a beat as I turned around to see if he was awake. And he was. His eyes, still half-lidded, locked onto mine, and I could see the faintest glimmer of awareness in them. He was awake, and he was looking at me. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I quickly turned back around, trying to create some distance between us. But it was too late. Adrian's arms wrapped around me, pulling me back into his chest, and I could feel his warm breath on my neck. "Hey," he whispered, his voice husky with sleep. "Are you okay?" I nodded, trying to play it cool, but my voice caught in my throat. I couldn't bring myself to look at him, not yet. I was still trying to process what was happening, and the fact that he was awake and holding me like this was making everything feel even more surreal. Adrian's hands began to roam over my body, tracing the curves of my hips and waist. I felt a shiver run down my spine as his fingers grazed my skin, sending sparks of electricity through my body. I knew I should tell him to stop, but a part of me didn't want him to. As he held me, I could feel his body heat radiating into mine, and I began to feel lightheaded. My mind was racing with conflicting emotions, but my body seemed to be responding to his touch in ways I couldn't ignore. "Adrian," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "Yeah?" he replied, his voice low and husky. I hesitated, unsure of what to say. Part of me wanted to tell him to stop, to leave me alone. But another part of me wanted to see where this would go, to explore the sensations that were coursing through my body. But before I could say anything, Adrian's lips brushed against my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "I think you should get some rest," he whispered, his breath sending goosebumps down my neck. "We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow." I nodded, still not looking at him, and Adrian slowly released his grip on me. I took a step forward, trying to create some distance between us, but I could feel his eyes on me, watching me. As I stood there, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was standing at a crossroads, with two paths stretching out before me. One path was safe and familiar, but the other was unknown and thrilling. And I couldn't help but wonder which path I would choose.
