The kiss went on for a few more seconds. Boma didn't know how long she could keep still under his arousing onslaught. She could barely move, anyway. He had her immobile.
Donovan had no intentions of letting her go until he got what he wanted. A small moan of surrender escaped her lips and when he heard it, he released her with satisfaction. That was what he had been waiting for.
She looked at him with dazed eyes again, her breathing fast from being thoroughly kissed.
She set her eyes on his chest, her face colored with embarrassment.
"Are you a virgin?" He asked, wanting verbal confirmation.
She started to nod, decided against it, and stayed silent.
"I asked you a question."
Her eyes remained on his chest.
"Do not make me repeat myself."
She snapped out of her silence and nodded.
"I want words."
"Yes."
"Hmm. Even though I suspected correctly, it's still a bit surprising in this era. Nonetheless, I like it."
She didn't say anything. She pressed her lips together, wishing she was anywhere but there.
She felt his fingers gently urging her to meet his gaze.
"Because you're a virgin, I won't rush you, but I will play with you. Okay?"
She started to feel confused by his words.
"Play with me?"
His voice lowered to a seductive slow tone and he cupped her face in his hands as he let her know exactly what he was talking about.
"That means, I will touch you, Boma. I will kiss you. I will caress and romance you. I will suck you, lick you everywhere. I will finger you. But I won't take you. Now, is there something else you would like to tell me?"
Her response came out in stutters.
"I don't- I don't agree with the...the play-the playing with-"
"That topic is not up for discussion anymore. Or would you rather I mess with your precious v card? I'm more than happy to."
She quickly shook her head and he released her face.
"Well, one more thing," he said, one finger caressing her cheek. "You cannot lose the gift of your innocence to any guy in this school or any other guy for that matter. Not while I'm your boyfriend. If I find out, I will kill him." He observed her shudders, but it didn't keep him from continuing with his threat. "And that will be after I kill you. And before that, I will ensure that I break your legs first. Those very legs that you dared to spread for him. Am I understood?"
She nodded, her eyes filling rapidly, triggered by her fear of him.
"Good." He said and pressed his lips to her forehead.
She was still frightened but strangely, his kiss on her forehead began to calm her jitters a little.
"Now, let's go shopping."
Boma recalled that he mentioned shopping. Somehow she didn't think it would be serious.
"I'm not- I'm not supposed to take gifts from- from strangers. I don't-I don't know you."
He spared her an incredulous glance. "Like seriously?"
"I don't-I don't think I need anything from-"
"Shut up."
Her speech was cut off at his abruptly given command. Then he pulled her up to her feet.
They were facing each other now and she kept her eyes on the floor.
"Look at me."
She lifted her gaze and managed to meet his. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to her forehead.
"Now, let's go." He said, taking her hand firmly in his.
She had no choice but to go with him, aware of his wingmen following them.
Outside, she had thought that his guys would join them in his car but they took another car, leaving them alone in his car which was a sleek dark grey SUV.
She sat beside him, hands clasped together.
"Relax." He said as he started the car. "Get used to being around me because you're with me now."
She tried to relax, but it was hard. She was nervous. To look convincing in her attempt at relaxation, she let her back rest on the chair.
He moved the car onto the campus roads. She could tell he was heading to the campus gates. From the rearview mirror, she observed that his wingmen were following behind them. She was not surprised. She guessed it was their job.
She clasped her hands together. Her major concern was the ring. She covered her left hand with her right, praying fervently that he would not notice. So far, he hadn't. But their date was not over yet.
He might notice at any time.
The car finally passed through security at the gate. She observed how the gatemen greeted him with respect.
A thought occurred to her as Donovan maneuvered the car through the streets of the island.
If she could get Hilda to bring her the ring at whatever boutique he was taking her, she would be free of the fear consuming her.
She took out her phone and began texting Hilda. Then she remembered that she didn't know what boutique they were going to.
"D." She said tentatively.
"Yeah."
"Could you tell me what boutique we are going to and the location?"
"Why?" He asked without sparing her a glance.
"I just want to know."
"Why?" He repeated as though she had not spoken.
"I just- I just want to know." She said in a louder voice, thinking that he had not heard her.
He spared her a glance.
"Why?"He repeated before returning his gaze to the road.
"Because I...I just want to know." She answered, her voice laced with uncertainty. Because now, she knew that he had heard her. And she didn't know why he was being difficult about it.
"Boma." He said without sparing her a glance again.
"Yes."
"I asked you a question."
"But I-I already answered."
"I don't believe your response. If you're scared that I'm taking you somewhere else other than the boutique, I understand. But you don't have to lie to me about it. Okay?"
"Okay, but that's not- that's not my reason."
"Fine. Ever shopped at Majestic?"
"No." She admitted. Majestic was the biggest mall on the island. Every store in there was pricey. She couldn't even dream of going there.
"That's where we're going."
"Okay. Thanks."
"You're welcome."
She immediately continued with her text to Hilda. She was about to send an SMS but realized she could be wasting precious airtime. Instead, she went online and checked if Hilda was on chat.
Luckily she found her online. So, she flashed her cell phone before chatting her up-
Hey, I need your help URGENTLY.
It took about five seconds before Hilda responded with- are u ok? Where are u? Are u with him?
Hence their chat began.
Boma
Yes. We had lunch. Now we are going to Majestic.
Hilda
I knew he was serious. What's the problem?
Boma
I 4got the ring on my bed. I am so scared he will find out
Hilda.
Y did u 4get? Gosh. This is serious. He will drill u. You've not heard of what happens to Point One babes caught without their ring?
Boma froze. She didn't even dare steal a glance at Donovan.
Her fingers were starting to shake, but she managed to continue.
Boma.
Pls, help me bring it to Majestic b4 he finds out. Please.
Hilda
I'm already heading to the room. I will be there soon
Boma
Please, hurry. Thanks.
Hilda
"I'll be there. Try 2 keep cool.
Boma
Ok.will try.
After ending their chat, Boma was startled by Donovan's voice.
"I see you were chatting."
"Yes." She replied. She didn't see any reason why she should deny it.
"With who?"
"My friend and roommate."
"I see. Okay. Give me your hand, will you? Let me feel you while I drive." He said but he was already reaching for her left hand and folding it in his. His actions sent her heartbeat racing with mounting increasing anxiety.
As he caressed her hand, she held her breath. She could feel her hands trembling in his."I've told you to relax," he said, his eyes fixed on the road."I am relaxed," she replied."You're not. I can feel your hand shaking. Relax. I won't hurt you. Never without reason."He squeezed her hand gently in his palm. It felt warm and pleasing. It helped her let go of some jitters."That's it. Relax." He encouraged. Then he raised her hand to his lips and kissed it before releasing her.She immediately covered it with her right hand again."Is there something on your mind that you will like to share?""No.""Is there something you need to tell me?""No.""Okay. Perhaps, it's something you need to confess?"She have him a furtive glance, wondering if he already knew and was just acting like he didn't. She didn't believe he knew. With his temper, he wouldn't be sounding this cool if that was the case."Nothing." She said."Hmm. Okay."She held onto her stand. It would be bad to draw attention
After a few seconds of silence, her fear prompted her to voice her immediate concern."Please- D, please where are we going?""You'll return to your hostel in the morning. Don't worry. Tomorrow is a lecture-free day, so congratulations on picking the right time to test me.""I didn't mean to lie." Her words came out in a rush due to her heightened state of anxiety."Oh, now she admits the truth." He said mindlessly. "How honorable. I'm impressed.""I won't do it again." She fervently promised."Yeah. After I'm done with you." He declared.Her mouth began working a mile a minute to explain herself."Please, I'm sorry. I forgot the ring on my bed. I was going to wear it before getting out but I was running late and forgot it in my haste. It wasn't intentional.""A point one's girl must always wear her ring. You need that driven into you.""No. Please, it won't happen again." She pleaded. "I promise it won't." God, she was so scared."You're right, it won't. " His tone was uncompromising
After shedding tears for a while, Boma managed to put herself together and sat down on the immaculately tiled floor. It felt cold because of the air-conditioning.At the same time, the burning ache on her bum intensified, so she quickly rose to her feet.Her eyes scanned the ornately decorated bedroom. She was looking for nothing in particular. She had nothing to do and had no choice but to observe her environment.Nothing in the fancy decor interested her. She wanted to return to her hostel but she knew she was stuck there. Slowly, she let herself wander around the room.She saw his engineering kits stacked neatly on a large table. She saw his books occupying a shelf with enough room left for more books.She saw his timetable plastered on the wall before his reading table.She saw pictures of him posing with his friends on the wall. She saw a family portrait with him, a little girl and boy of about 10 who had his eyes and a pretty girl around her age. This one had brown eyes. They m
Donovan watched her, observing her fear as he kept beckoning her forward."Boma," he said. "Yes." "Come here." Boma remained still, frozen by fear. "I said come here." He beckoned her again. "Are you angry?" She could not tell. A dark glint in his eyes made her suspect that he was angry.The confusion scared her more than the assurance. It would have been better if he was clearly showing his anger. At least, that way, she would have an idea of what to expect. "I'm not angry. Just come closer." He urged. "Come on, scoot yourself forward." She shook her head. "I didn't mean to say- I didn't mean to say what I just said." "Draw closer, Boma. Don't make me repeat that." His tone was stern now. She carefully scooted herself close to him, struggling to control a threatening uprising storm of jitters. "Now, repeat what you just said to me a few seconds ago." "I said that... that if you're free to see others, then I am also free to...to do the same." she stuttered. "I see. And her
His lips met her neck, kissing, sucking, and licking. His fingers gently caressed her ears. To her surprise, she started to feel pleasant feelings dancing across her skin.He gently nipped the skin of her neck with his teeth and a soft moan escaped her lips.Before she could dwell on the shame that flooded her as a result of the moan, he claimed her lips with a kiss.She clamped her mouth shut, pressing her lips together to fight off his kiss. His mouth came to her ear immediately and his hoarse voice filled her ear with a whisper. "I don't expect you to respond to my kiss. After all, you've not even known how to kiss, but I expect you to keep your lips steady and available for me. Do it now."She obeyed and released her lips. "Good girl." He praised and claimed it again with a gentle kiss. He gently nipped at her bottom lip, brushing his lips against hers, teasing the surface with his lips until finally, he invaded and started exploring her lips with his tongue, stopping when a slig
He left her in the room and she lay tensed up on the bed, expecting his return. As time went forward with no sign of his return she managed to fall asleep.She woke up in the morning to his hand caressing her face."Good morning, sleepy head." He greeted, sounding good-natured."Good morning." She responded, not returning the favor. She knew she sounded begrudging. He didn't seem to mind as he kissed her forehead."Get up. You need to prepare for breakfast.""I need to go home.""Home or hostel?" He asked."Hostel.""Good. Your hostel is not your home.""I know, but that's my home here.""Don't we all feel that way?""So it's not a problem if I call it home, right? Since you agree with me?""No, it's not. But I got what I wanted. You fell into conversation mode."Her brows furrowed at his jibe and he smirked at her and she took the moment to observe he was wearing a night robe over his PJs because of the cold."I want to go home." She declared and gasped as he pulled her up roughly t
"Shut the hell up!" The girl shouted, dragging Boma's hair."Abigail, stop that!" Donovan cautioned the girl but she kept on dragging Boma's hair.Boma cried out in pain as she struggled, her eyes shut tightly because of the pain.Donovan drew forward and separated them."Fucking slut!" Abigail cursed out at Boma."Stop it!" Donovan cautioned her again."No. She's a fucking whore!"The insults got to Boma. Donovan's grip on her wrist was mild so she easily slid free and threw herself against Abigail with all her might.Her move was so swift and unexpected that Abigail and Donovan were stunned.Abigail landed on the ground on her side. Boma seized the moment of her helplessness to sit on her and proceed with raining slaps and blows on her face.Abigail screamed in pain. "Get off me!" She cried out. "Get off me, you whore. Donovan, do something, please.""You -are -the-whore!" Boma yelled, punctuating each word with a blow. She continued her assault on Abigail for a few seconds until sh
"Maybe you should just turn back time," Boma mumbled. "What did you say?" Donovan questioned darkly. She looked up at him with tear-filled eyes. "Maybe you should just turn back time," she repeated with a cry. "What do you mean by that?" He demanded with brows furrowed darkly. "You brought this upon me. If you had not forced me into your life, this would never have happened."His face registered fury."I chose you as mine and that is that. You will cease to complain about this issue. Do you understand me?"Even though she was frightened, she decided to speak out in resistance. Her chin lifted with defiance as she stared at him.He ignored her defiant look. "I said, do you understand me?" He repeated."I do not accept it. I never really did, so let me go now. Release me. I-I don't-I don't-" her voice began to waver horribly as he began unleashing his belt."Keep talking." He said, folding it in half."I don't-I don't-" she began, but paused as he took a step forward. At this poi
