~Viviana~
An ear piercing silence stretched between us where only the loud pounding of my heart echoed through my ears. I want Roman so much but my conscience would never let me rest. Sleeping with someone already engaged and about to marry another woman is not in my bucket list, even if that man is Roman.
The pause that followed my query made me question my decision to be here with him. I might have ruined this night, but I’m willing to go home if he is indeed going to marry Celestina.
“Amor,” Roman spoke, his eyes searching mine, treading over my face with intent while his thumb drew small circles on my jaw. “Let’s lie down?”
I pressed my tongue on the insides of my cheeks. That wasn’t exactly the answer I was looking for.
I will also update every Sunday, and I will be taking a break on Christmas with my family. I forgot to put a note before... As you can tell, this is not a slow-burn romance. This is the most daring story I've ever written so far. As always, thank you for the votes... hope you're enjoying Roman and Vee's story. xx
~Viviana~If I thought that waking up to mom’s cooking was the best way to start my day, damn, I was wrong. A repeat performance of Roman’s expert mouth, tongue, and fingers last night was better. I was sure that my arousal dampened his bedsheets. Thinking of everything dirty he did and said to me, the image of his face trapped between my legs was enough to soak my underwear...We’re driving through an unfamiliar viridescent field of uphill and downhill roads. Apart from the times he’d had to shift gears, our fingers remained locked together above his thigh.Road signs indicate that we’re still in Las Mencía. I closed my eyes, leaning my elbow on the open window panel, relishing the fresh air caressing my face. My hair, a mess of locks constantly swept over my face, made me smile
~Viviana~In the afternoon, when the sun was just about to set, everyone gathered in Señora Teresa’s expansive garden.From what Sylvia told me, it was their tradition to play parlor games whenever they gathered, especially when it was a birthday celebration. They usually play mind and word games while Señora Teresa stands as the lone judge in every game and no one is allowed to back out. Even Emilio, who’s the buffiest of the guys, couldn’t escape the watchful eyes of the game master.There’s a gruesome punishment waiting for anyone who loses. They are betting money, cars, and as for now, the punishment is to finish the juice made by Anita and Claudia. The liquid inside the tall glass, a cross between brown and green, looks inedible. Only those two know what they put in there,
~Viviana~Knuckles turning white. My grip on the grab handle tightened as Roman’s Tesla took each curve on the freeway. This is not a road trip. It’s the fastest roller coaster ride I’ve ever been on. My breaths came in rapid huffs and I was sure my heart moved permanently in my throat.Just like last night, he was driving over the speed limit, but I wasn’t afraid. I’m feeling a different kind of rush.The resolve on Roman’s face gave me comfort that he was in his zone. His face was so focused on what he was doing that the small conversation we had barely registered in my head.It took about forty-five minutes to reach his grandmother’s place. He chopped off a good twenty minutes in that time while breaking numerous traffic rules
~Viviana~ “I understand what you’re going through. When my mother died, it’s like she took a piece of me with her and until now, there’s still that void in my chest. It will remain there forever. I learned to live with it, but that doesn’t mean I will forget her. She lives in my heart, all memories of her.” A gentle touch was caressing my heart with every word he spoke. I don’t go back on my words, but I realized Roman had always been an exception to my rule book. I said I wouldn’t let him kiss me, but I kissed him. After what he said, it was really hard to land a punch in his throat now. How is this even possible? This connection between us is so surreal that I find it hard to believe. “You’re really making it hard for
~Viviana~I knew this was supposed to happen, but in my defence, he gave me two mind-wrecking orgasms. My mind was in haze and counting to five seemed like a task for a genius.Still dazed, I pushed myself up from lying on my back, and kneeled in front of Roman, mimicking his position. I trapped his face with my hand, kissing him squarely, urging him to part his lips for me with my tongue. He did, groaning as I pushed my tongue inside his mouth, tangled with his in a bliss-filled dance.I let go of his face, at the same time I pulled away from his lips, trailing open-mouthed kisses down his neck. He held me firmly by my waist, a guttural sound vibrated from him. I scraped my teeth on his collarbone, his nails digging into my skin.His hand glided up to my hair, tugging u
~Viviana~After a steamy good morning from Roman, we ate breakfast, and he asked me if I was willing to meet his friends. To say that we are taking this fling to a new height would be an understatement. We are skipping too many steps, and it’s making me feel giddy inside.I like Roman; that is the underlying foundation of why I am here with him.I had to agree; of course, curiosity and excitement piqued within me at the thought of meeting his friends. But I was also scared of what kind of acceptance I would get from them.While I was getting ready, that brunette crossed my mind. Celestina was in the same circle he was navigating with his entire life; I just hoped I wouldn’t cross paths with her. My weekend is going just fine without her input in it.
~Viviana~A rusty knife could slice through the thick silence hovering inside Roman’s car through the drive back to his place.He was deep in his thoughts since he came back inside the pub alone with a formidable look on his face. Apart from asking me if I’d like to go back to his villa, he said nothing else.It was strange. We drive to the pub in a different situation than what we have right now. It’s like I am with a different person. Whatever discussion he had with Lena clearly affected his mood.I was itching to ask him what happened, what they talked about. I was damn curious, but I knew it was not my place to inquire about anything. It’s not his job to tell me things, either. The weight of the words I’ve spoken to Nico, Mateo, and Sylv
~Roman~When I invited Viviana out in the morning, I had a great itinerary planned for us. Taking her to Sylvia’s pub to meet the guys was not part of it, though, but I cannot just ditch the party they prepared for me. The Outlaws version of a party. Usually, we’d celebrate differently. Flooding booze, girls willing to be taken home, pot and weed, all kinds of gambling where the stakes are as high as Mount Everest.Before the crack of dawn, Nico informed me that the Outlaws didn’t want to take no for an answer, which earned him an earful of speech. I didn’t want to disappoint them. In the family, a birthday is as sacred as an initiation rite.The Outlaws are a group of bulky, tattooed guys, and you’ll think they’re as tough as fucking stone, but they wouldn’t let a birthday
