DESIRE

Mike's features were everything gorgeous. His caramel skin had an elegant glow that revealed he had a proper skincare routine. Apart from his curly hairs looking shabby and fluffy that Melissa felt like running her hands through them already, every other thing about him looked handsome. She watched as his biceps moved through the sleeves of his hoodies. He must be working out a lot to have such a great body. His eyes and lips looked so seductive that...

"Move, Lisa, we're still standing here. We should be beside those handsome, young men already". Kara said with a flirty tone while bugging Melissa.

"I was already lost, Kara," Melissa whispered, feeling embarrassed.”

"There's nothing to feel embarrassed about darling, move it already,” Kara said, laughing as she dragged Melissa towards the men playing card games.

Mike stood up immediately they came towards the table.

"Hi. I'm Mike." He said with a smile, stretching his hands to shake Melissa.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you." Melissa said as she placed her hands in his warm hands. "This is my friend and roommate, Kara." She added immediately.

"Hi, Kara." All the other men on the table playing the cards replied in unison.

It was an awkward and unexpected moment that everyone burst out in laughter, including Mike.

He had the most beautiful dentition she had ever seen, and his teeth shone like pearls in the bright room, reminding her what she thought of his lips earlier, kissable.

He released his grip on her hands while he ushered them to sit down at the table while they rounded up the game.

"What would you like to drink, ladies?" Mike asked as he beckoned to a bartender standing nearby.

"I'd go for a Martini,” Kara said with excitement written all over her face as she appreciated the side glances the other men were giving her.

Mike shifted his gaze towards Melissa awaiting her response. Aware of the eyes staring at her in anticipation, she said, "I'd go for a Virgin Mojito then.”

"Are you?" Mike asked as she made her order.

"Sorry, am I what?" Melissa asked, feigning innocence. Kara immediately shifted her position as she paid attention to the other men playing the cards since Mike had stopped playing already.

"You know what I meant, Lady. Are you a virgin?" He asked again, this time, looking straight into her eyeballs, which glistened in the bright light.

"Well...umm...I meant the drink." Melissa said, not sounding confident.

Mike realized he shouldn't be asking her such a private question in public. He stood up on impulse and held Melissa by the wrist.

"We'd be back." He said hurriedly to the other men and Kara without even looking at their faces as he dragged Melissa towards a dim lited hallway.

He slowed down his pace as he released his grip on her hand. It was at that moment that he realized Melissa had her eyes shut all through.

"Open your eyes, beauty," he said. " I'm not going to hurt you, neither am I a bad guy," he said quietly, closing the distance between them.

Melissa could smell the scent of his aftershave, even with her eyes shut. She knew he was coming closer to her slowly as goosebumps came on her skin.

"You have refused to tell me, so I'm determined to find out for myself," he said with a mischievous grin while whispering into her ears.

Melissa knew she signed up for this, but she was yet to master the art of flirting. It was right now that she needed Kara the most because she was a flirt queen. She knew her way around men and would no doubt be capable of handling someone like Mike.

What would Kara do if she found herself in such a situation, Melissa thought? She knew the answer. Kara would most likely play along and flirt with him also. There's no harm because two can play the game.

"Wooooo...easy, Tiger. Where's this boldness coming from?" Mike asked, laughing as Melissa traced her fingers around his shaft through his sweatpants while giving him the most seductive look she could muster.

"You don't want to know,” Melissa said as she watched Mike's eyes grow darker and filled with lust. She derived so much pleasure watching what she was doing to him and knowing he responded well to her touch. His male pride grew harder in her palms as she traced the entire length since he was a large one.

When she realized she was also getting wet underneath by watching him, she decided to stop before they went further than that. She had not even had a glass of her drink yet.

"You're not going to leave me like this, are you?" Mike said, gesturing to his erection through his sweatpants.

"I guess I would say that's all," Melissa said, smiling as she turned around to leave. He grabbed her almost immediately and dragged her towards a dark corner at the back of the VIP lounge.

"You have done me a favor, and I love to return favors," he whispered into her ears as he pinned her to the wall.

He found his way underneath her gown in the dark as he tried to get his hands into her panties. Melissa didn't struggle because she knew she wore leggings beneath her dress.

Mike tugged at it from her waist and made efforts to pull them down.

"Don't make this difficult for both of us.” He whispered into her ears. "Admit it. You want this as bad as I want it."

Melissa knew there was no denying what he said. It was true. She wanted to feel his hands all over her body. And with that, she pulled down the socks from her waist down to her thigh without saying a word. Her actions alone spoke that she had given him full permission to make her feel good. She wanted him to return the favor so bad.

Mike groaned with pleasure in the dark as he placed his hands on her thigh. They were soft and supple to touch. He ran his hands in upward and downward motions feeling every inch of her skin. He slowly moved upward, using his fingers to trace invisible circles and draw irregular patterns as Melissa tingled under his touch. His fingers grazed the thin layer of her panties as he let out a ragged breath. He was getting aroused himself by his every move. He found the band of her panties as he dragged them down to her thigh.

Melissa was already anticipating his touch in her core. He was delaying his movements as he seemed to be having second thoughts on whether to proceed or not. She grabbed his hands and placed them on her soft spot, making him realize it was already too late to make any decision of his. He dipped a finger into her inner thighs and it was welcomed with so much wetness. She was warm inside, and he couldn't resist but dip a second finger inside as Melissa winced.

"I like how you are so wet and tight for me,” Mike said in a husky voice. " I want to make love to you all night and kiss every inch of your skin," he said, lifting Melissa's chin and pulling her in for a kiss.

The kiss started, slow and passionate as Melissa's eyes shut in total surrender. She did not understand how a mere touch and kiss from a stranger she barely knew a few hours ago could break down her defenses, leaving her more vulnerable than she had ever been with anyone. Not even Damon made her feel this way. Now was not even the time to think of that bastard.

Mike started grinding into her slowly, adjusting his hips, as he whispered into her ears. " Let me taste you, please." he pleaded.

For this moment, she knew she was all his, and there was no denying that. She wanted him as much as he wanted her. They were two ignited souls, burning for each other and could be consumed by the flames of lust if the fire kept burning.

She moaned and tossed her head left and right as his mouth had already found its way between her thigh. She ran her hands back and forth through the entire length of his curly hair. She was consumed with ecstasy as she shut her eyes,...

There was a crashing sound from the end of the hallway, making them jump in fright. Melissa quickly pulled up her leggings and adjusted her gown as Mike headed towards the end of the hallway where the sound came. He moved closer, with much caution since he didn't know what to expect at the other end.

Melissa was terrified as she stood fixated on the spot with her heart racing fast.

"What the fuck!" Mike screamed at the sight he saw.
