Skyler just found out that moving with the full body of a woman plastered across your full body length like a koala bear was the most difficult thing on earth. No make that the second most difficult thing.
The first was invading the snaky hands of the said woman.
If Skyler didn't know better he will swear with his life that the woman in his arms was an octopus. Her hands seem to be everywhere and all over him.
God, please save me, Skyler moaned in distress as he tried to evade yet another sneaky caress from the woman.
Adriana couldn't get over how good the man she was plastered over smelled. His cologne wasn't obviously masculine nor suffocating like most men who smell like they took a shower with their cologne.
Rather he has this delicate spicy smell almost bothering on feminine tinkling her senses and sparking her system with an intense desire to touch. She wanted this man desperately and the need was driving her insane.
Adriana didn't know whether the insane desire to touch him was fueled by her inebriated state, because she is always more horny when drunk, or is the man. He is just to sexy for his own good.
She grinned lecherously when a particular movement from him caused her breast to rub deliciously over his well-hardened chest hardening her nipples and arousing pleasurable jolts through her body.
" Wow! You have such a nice chest, " she crooned in a drunken impressed voice moving her hand up his body to run them over the said chest.
Skyler jerked away harshly from her touch as if stung, a look akin to fright tightening his features.
" I will graciously appreciate it if you kept your hands to yourself, " he growled stonily at the woman in his arms.
His heart raced in his chest not from the feeling of the blonde's hand on him but from an intense fear of the blonde discovering something she shouldn't.
The man was insanely polite even when he is scolding you. What is up with that. Maybe he went to some fancy school where they drilled manners and appropriate behavior into him.
A childish frown distorts Adriana's features at the scolding from the hot guy.
" You are such a sourpuss, " she complained scowling at him.
The expression on her face was like that of a kitten which looked funny to Skyler.
A whisper of a smile played across his lips which he did well to hide from the blonde but wasn't successful.
Adriana's heart lurched hard in her throat when the full red lips a few meters away from her eyes twisted into a beautiful ghost of a smile transforming the once severe cold stunning features into a radiating pretty face.
" You are very beautiful when you smile like that, " she voiced out in a deep husky tone, gazing up at him with desire reflected in her eyes.
Skyler's smile disappeared at the blonde's compliment and he looked down to see her watching him with desire flashing from depthless orbs that reminded Skyler of a stormy sea.
His movement paused and everything disappeared momentarily from his thoughts as his eyes drank in the other woman's gaze.
Adriana swallowed at the scorching intensity of his gaze, her throat grew dry, and her drunkenness disappeared from her eyes as something else replaced it. Hunger
Hunger to possess, plunder and devour the man staring intently at her. His look smoldering.
Adriana could feel her chest lift from the strong beat of her heart and her breathing grew a little ragged.
The tension between them could be cut through with a knife.
Almost as if in a trance she watched as his head began to descend while she rose towards him.
Adriana's heart stopped completely as her lips drew up a few breaths from his full ones and just as they were about to finally touch a voice interrupted them.
Adriana could have murdered the imbecile with a bad sense of timing.
" Hey! Sky, Where is that gorgeous chick with you earlier? Don't tell me you ran out on her. "
At the distant sound of his friend's voice, Skyler pushed the blonde unceremoniously away from him.
" Auch! " Adriana screamed as she landed awkwardly on the ground. " What the fuck is wrong with you! " she wailed in anger, glaring daggers at the guy staring down at her like a skittish colt.
It took a while for Skyler to overcome his panic and realize what he has done. McCain's voice had startled him badly jolting him into reality.
What is this woman doing to me?
Skyler couldn't believe he had been on the verge of kissing the woman. He has never made that mistake, knowing fully well what is at stake, which further nails his belief that the blonde was trouble. She was already making him forget himself and his situation. The sooner he gets rid of her the better for his peace of mind and his secret.
" Aren't you even going to help me up? " Adriana snapped at the guy when he just stood there staring at her like she was some devil incarnate out to steal his soul.
Adriana jumped a little when the hand she was expecting wasn't the one that came to her rescue.
" Are you alright, Miss? "
The voice sounded familiar, Adriana thought looking up to meet the pale features of a blonde-haired man with twinkling blue eyes staring down at her with a worried frown.
Her eyes moved from his face to the hand he was offering her and she took it to help herself up.
" I must apologize on my friend's behalf. He is normally not an oaf when it comes to the ladies, and I assure you he has better moves than the clumsy display he just put out a few seconds ago. Right, Sky? "
McCain turned to look back at his friend who looked ready to bolt from the scene.
McCain had witnessed the whole thing from a distance and couldn't help the wince that tugged at his lips when he saw his friend's reaction at being caught almost kissing a girl.
His friend had acted as if he was a teenager sneaking out to make out with a girl against his parent's wishes.
Adriana scoffed finding it hard to believe as she glowered at the still silent guy.
What is his deal anyway? He was acting as if he has never been with a woman before which is impossible. A guy as gorgeous as him must have women throwing themselves at him.
The irritating look in her eyes transformed into one of intense pain when she put weight on her left leg.
" Ahh!!! " Her face scrunched up with intense agony as she quickly moved the weight swaying in the process.
McCain and Skyler reacted at once going to the blonde.
McCain who was already holding her tightened his grip on her granting her more support, while Skyler pulled himself out of his frozen stupor to approach the blonde with a worried look.
" Are you alright? "
His voice was a little hesitant as he stared down at the blonde's twisted features. She looked to be seriously hurt making him feel stupid for asking the question he just did.
Adriana scowled deepily at the him.
" Of course, I am not alright, " she hissed as her left leg burned. She could barely put it on the floor as it was his fault.
Shame and remorse filled Skyler.
" I am sorry, " he looked down unable to withstand the blonde's harsh gaze.
Seeing the guy look so down and vulnerable made her anger quickly disappear.
She couldn't help but wonder how the night that started out so well could end like this.
" You can make it up to me by driving me home, as driving is out of the question for me right now.
Skyler's features brightened at the thought of doing something to make it up to the blonde. He had not meant to hurt her and he was deeply sorry for that.
" That I can do, " he gave the blonde a small grin. He relaxed more when the blonde responded with a little tilt of her lips.
" Can I drive your car home for you? " McCain asked a little too eager his eyes lighting up at the thought of driving his best friend's new car.
" No, " Skyler quickly shut him down. " We will be taking my car. "
A disappointed look appeared on McCain's face that he did his best to hide.
" What about my car? "
Adriana frowned not keen on leaving her car at the club at the mercy of rubbers and anyone out there.
" My friend here will drive it and follow us if that is okay with you? "
Adriana tilted her head to the side staring up at the guy.
" Is obvious you don't let anyone drive your car what makes you think is not the same with me. "
Skyler frowned seeing the dilemma they were in.
" What do you propose then? "
Adriana smiled when she realized that the guy took her seriously. He is just too serious for his own good. The guy needs to lighten up.
" I was kidding, your friend can drive my car. "
" Ok is settled. Give him your car key while I help you to the car. "
Adriana nodded and rooted around in her purse for her keys.
" Here, " she handed it to the blonde man.
McCain took the keys and then looked from the blonde to his friend. He was still supporting the blonde and if he was going to leave he needed to let go which means someone else needs to take over.
" I will help you, " Skyler reached to take the blonde away from his best friend and frowned when she pulled back.
Adriana was in the mood to needle the guy's feathers, to get back at him for the stunt he pulled a few moments ago.
" I want you to carry me. "
Adriana had to forcefully tighten her jaws to lock the laughter that nearly spewed from her at the shock that washed over the guy's face at her words. He looked like she told him to finger her in public.
" What! "
Skyler's lips twitched in discomfort as he prayed that the blonde was joking. A look into that daredevil blues told him otherwise. The blonde eyes were grinning mockingly at him. This was payback for dropping her on the ground.
Skyler sighed knowing he has no choice, after all, he owes the blonde.
" No funny business, " he warned moving in closer to the blonde.
A soft smile tugged at Adriana's lips.
" Scouts honor, " her three fingers went up.
Skyler arched a brow at her.
" Obviously, you were never a boy scout. "
" What! Are you saying you don't believe me? " Adriana lifted a mocking brow at him, daring him to dispute her words.
" Not with your three fingers up. That is not a scout's honor, " Skyler teased.
McCain's eyes bounced from the blonde to his best friend as he watched their interaction. There was a strange dynamic between them. He could see his best friend likes the blonde even if he was doing his best to pretend otherwise.
He grinned silently at his best friend finally meeting a woman who could challenge his bothersome cold exterior.
His best friend can be very intimidating with his icy aloof demeanor that tends to keep women at a distance never to get close no matter how desperately they wish it, but the blonde was a different matter altogether.
She was acting as if the barrier isn't there and blowing through all his friend's defenses.
Watching these two realize what is obvious to anyone watching them was going to be fun, especially on his best friend's part.
He has never seen the dude in love before or messed up over a woman and is going to be an entertainment to watch when he comes to what is happening.
Skyler took a deep breath to brace himself as if preparing for war before he closed the distance between him and the blonde.
He ignored the smirk his best friend sent his way and reached out to relieve him I'd the blonde.
Adriana felt her breathing spike up as the guy closed the distance between them. Her heart began to pound in anticipation as she waited to feel his arms around her.
A marvelous electric feeling pursed through her as the guy lifted her as if she weighed like feathers into his arms.
Being on the tall side for a woman she hardly meets guys that could tower over her, more or less lift her.
The guy was a lot of inches above her five foot nine. If she was to guess she will put the guy at six ft one. It felt pleasantly arousing to have a guy dwarf her as the one cradling her in his arms.
Adriana closed her eyes and leaned them against his chest.
Skyler jolted at the feel of the blonde's curls on his chest and wanted to pull away sharply but hesitated when he realized how good it felt to have her head on him.
It almost felt as if the blonde belongs in his arms.
Stop messing around Skyler no woman will want you if she realizes what you are. A freak.
The happy feeling inside him disappeared. A sad look appeared on his face which went unnoticed by the blonde in his arms.
A contented smile appeared on Adriana'ips as the flesh against her skin relaxed. She felt the guy's heartbeat increase which heightened the feeling running through her.
She lifted her arms to wrap around his sturdy neck and got comfortable.
The journey to his car wasn't a long one but Skyler was enjoying the blonde's feeling in his arm that he didn't want it to end.
" Wow! " Adriana sat up when she heard the sound of a car unlocking. " This is yours? " She gaped impressed at the flashy sports car.
Skyler gave her a proud look as he unlocked his baby. He gently set down the blonde making sure to buckle her up.
As he was doing that his hand caressed her breast unintentionally sending bolts of pleasure to both of them.
He flinched back, his face burning from embarrassment and his desire.
" I am sorry, " he husked.
Adriana nodded finding it difficult to speak past the desire clogging her throat. The guy's mistake touch had felt like an electric current up her body.
" Are you comfortable? " Skyler worried, looking down at the blonde when he got no response from her.
" Yeah, I am fine, " Adriana adjusted herself on the seat more to ease up the tension between her legs than to get comfortable.
Satisfied that the blonde was comfortable Skyler moved around the car and entered the driver's seat.
The interior of the car felt a little tense initially which smoothened out as they drove.
The silence that settled between then as they drove home wasn't an uncomfortable one which surprised Skyler.
Adriana let her tired body relax more atoning itself to the smooth rhythm of the car as it purred over the road.The interior of the car was amazing and smelled like the man beside her.She couldn't help stealing glances at him.His face was stunning under the moon reflection, almost ethereal.He hasn't said anything since they set out, but she wasn't surprised by that. The man beside her was a man of few words. Adriana almost expected the silence between them to be uncomfortable but it wasn't.This is the first time in a long while she is in such close space with a man and nothing is going on. No talking, or make out session just complet silence.The silence was so comfortable that she didn't see the need to fill it with empty chatter. Neither did the guy.Skyler could feel the blonde's stare on his face even though she was being subtle. " Take a picture it might last longer, " Skyler teased not taking his eyes from the road.He has always been a careful driver and having a passen
" Ahh!!! " A painful scream tore horrifyingly through Adriana's throat once she rose from the car and stood on her injured leg. " Fuck! " She jumped hopping off her feet and nearly nosedived to the ground. " Easy, " Skyler wrapped his strong arm around the blonde's slim waist to stop her fall which pushed her body against his chest, causing them both to freeze. For a brief moment, they stood in that position sucked in by the intense emotions swirling between them. Skyler's heart raced where the blonde head rested and his hand shook with the tenacity it took to restrain himself from leaning down to take the blonde's lips with his. The shock of his thoughts snapped him back to reality and he withdrew his body from the blonde, holding her at arm's length while still supporting her. " I am sorry, " he apologized softly not knowing why he was apologizing but needed to say something to break the silence between them. Adriana sighed silently in her mind. It felt so good to be in
It felt like in a dream, the excruciating pain Adriana was feeling. She tried to get comfortable but the pain wouldn't let her and the problem is, she can't even pinpoint the source of the pain.Her sleep was restless as she tried to sleep amidst the discomfort.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and her eyes opened.The first thing that hit her was the throbbing pain in her left foot." Fuck! " This hurts she exclaimed loud into the room sitting up.A glance at her foot revealed some swelling around her ankle.What a lousy Friday night. Didn't get laid but got injured instead.Adriana was about to get out of bed but paused mid-way as she recalled the face of the gentleman she met last night.He is so dreamy, she gushed to herself. Wonder if I will see him again if I go back to the club.Worth a try, Adriana gave herself a secret smile as she hopped down from the bed making sure to keep her weight off her injured foot.Her thoughts still on the man and how to entice him into a date
Skyler barely slept a wink last night because his mind had been so occupied by the thoughts of the blonde from last night. It was in the early hours of the night that he finally found sleep.Despite sleeping late it didn't stop him from waking before his alarm went off.His body has gotten used to waking at this time of the night that he hardly needs his alarm clock but that doesn't stop him from setting it every morning.Skyler is hardly the type to stop a habit once it has been formed.He started using the alarm clock when he was seven because he needed to get up early for his home lesson. All through his grade school and high school, he was home-schooled as his father hadn't had any belief in the school system.It was only during his college years that he had been let out of the nest and that was because he had set his foot down even still his dad still got him, personal tutors.Skyler got out of bed and straightened. A made bed means a good day. He never leaves his room without ma
Skyler's shoes struck heavily on the expensive beautiful linoleum floor of his parent's home as he stomped towards the door, his body vibrating with restrained fury. Of all the stunts his parents have ever pulled this takes the cake.The sound of his shoe could be heard all through the walls of the empty hallway as they echoed his fury.As soon as he was clear of the dining room Skyler took out his phone to call the valet to bring around his car. He couldn't wait to get out of this place.He was almost to the door when a voice spoke behind him. It was his father's butler. An Irish gentleman in his sixties, with the kindest grey eyes Skyler has ever seen in his life. A man that was more of a father to him than he his real father. A man that treated him like he was somebody instead of something to be feared, frowned upon, or studied.Darragh is a second-generation Irish American. His parents came to America years ago when he was still a wee lad and he started working for his parents as
Monday morning shined bright and beautiful through Adriana's window waking her up. Her eyes tightened as they were disturbed by the morning rays. Rays! Sunlight! Fuck, I overslept, her eyes snapped open and she took a look at her alarm clock. Seven am. What the hell happened. Her head was a little foxy, and she couldn't remember last night. Her head was throbbing mildly, and her mouth felt like something died inside. Bits by bits her memories began to return. Last night she and her friends had gone to a party hosted by one of Reilly's co-workers. Reilly hadn't wanted to go alone because she has the hots for the guy and didn't want to embarrass herself. She needed them as a safe blanket. What a safe blanket she must have been if she got skunk ass drunk. Luckily she has two of their other friends to serve as a buffer. The party had been rave and wild, and Adriana had been determined to beat her record of ten bottles of beer in one night.And if the riot going on in her head is any
By Monday morning Skyler was still undecided what he was going to do about the contract marriage his parents are forcing him into. Despite his talk with Serena, he was still skeptical about taking such a huge leap. Marriage is a lifetime commitment and to Skyler, he wanted someone who will love him for who he is and not just because of how deep his pocket is. And with the secret, he is hiding he doubts he will ever find such a person. As usual, he was the first to arrive at the office with no soul in sight. He looked down at his watch it was seven-thirty. A little late for him but thirty minutes earlier for the rest of his employees. He had gotten in late because last night his sleep had been plagued by nightmares of him being lynched by rope to the altar by his father only for him to open the veil of his bride to see the ugliest female on earth smiling back at him with the vilest and crooked teeth. A shudder ran through his frame causing his hair to stand on end as he recalled his
Adriana's eyes nearly exploded out of her head when she read what was written under Skyler's name. The guy was a bag of achievements that makes Bill Gates look like an underachiever. The revelation that the Skyler from the club was the same as Skyler Rivers her betrothed spun a fire inside her to track him down if for any other thing to satisfy her curiosity that it was really the same guy. Bursting into his ultra-modern office to see his familiar face sitting executively behind his huge desk like a king on his throne looking right at home and intimidating she had been thrown for the loop. When she made up her mind to track him down she partly still doubted in her mind that it was this same guy. But it was him alright. Looking more handsome than anyone has the right to look. Asking him to lunch was an impulsive thought, not something she had planned prior. She hadn't planned what to say when she decided on this strip and is just swinging as she goes. She couldn't stop staring at th
