"So true," she said, almost wistfully. "I wish I knew why it worked so well, and then maybe I'd be able to keep myself out of trouble." She was giggling at him, biting at her bottom lip.
Just when she was about to get upset, Miles pulled her body back in towards his, and she let out a sigh. Seeing her mother had done something funny to her head, and it was so much easier when she tried to forget the woman even existed. Every time Daphne saw her, she could only think of how many times she'd been betrayed, and it burned her over and over again.
Daphne simply nodded when he dropped the subject, his fingertips on her skin trying to console her.
She smirked again at his words. "Which did you enjoy more - watching me get flushed, hot, and out of control? Or simply hearing me scream?" Daphne looked up at him through her lashes, batting them once before his lips dropped to her shoulder.
Her teeth and lips fluttered across his ear as he toyed with her neck and shoulders, and she finally pressed her mouth to his when he finally raised his head again.
