CHAPTER 5

The heavenly smell of pancakes filled the air but I knew it was nothing but a dream. A dream that felt so real but still felt too good to be true. Talking about dreams. Shit! I shouldn't be sleeping, it's a school day! I jerked out of my bed and checked the time on my phone. Shit! It's past 7am already. Wait. It's a Saturday? Phew! That means I get to catch a few more hours of sleep. I returned to sleep.

“Hey Love” I heard a husky voice say.

“Huh?” I replied, still sleepy. Wait. What?!? There's a man in my room. Am I getting robbed? I jumped out of bed in pure survival mode.

“Woah, woah, woah! Easy there Jet Li” Adonis said laughing, his hands raised in the air. A mockery of the threat I am to him.

“What...how...why are you in my house?” I asked.

“Now Love, did you have too much to drink last night?” He asked and I gasped.

“Did you sleep with me? You... You dog!!!” I screamed, throwing a pillow at him. He caught it mid air without even thinking or blinking.

“What?!?” He asked, obviously amused.

“Why are you shirtless?” I asked.

“Girl, get your ass out and come have breakfast. I have no idea what you're going on about.” He said.

“And while at it, you should pop a mint after brushing. You don't smell so good” He added walking out. I gasped and threw another pillow at him.

“I hate you!!!” I screamed. My mouth smells fresh like a bouquet of flowers in the morning. I don't know what he's talking about.

I brushed my teeth, washed my face and packed my hair in a ponytail and came out to see Adonis and Dylan eating pancakes. Adonis was having oats and Dylan had his with maple syrup.

“Dylan said you like yours with strawberries and grapes so here you go.” Adonis said while he pulled out a chair for me. I muttered a thank you as I sat.

“I have a morning shift Cait. I'll be back by noon. Nice boyfriend you've got” Dylan said getting up.

“He's not my boyfriend” I replied.

“Good, now I get to keep him. I could get used to breakfasts like this one” He said, grabbing his jacket. Adonis grinned like he had won a trophy.

“Bye guys” He said as he made to leave.

“Bye” Adonis and I said in unison and he left.

“You should put your shirt on” I said, stuffing my mouth with pancakes. They were so yummy. Like those your grandma would make.

“What? Does it make you want to sleep with me?” He asked with a smirk on his face.

“Eww, no. Why would I want to sleep with a whore?” I replied.

“A whore? That's rich considering the fact that you were the one throwing yourself at me last night after barely two shots” He said, a smirk still plastered on his gorgeous face. I nearly choked on my food. I started coughing.

“Shit!” He said and dashed to go get some water.

“Here” He said, handing me a glass of water which I downed in a matter of seconds.

“I would never do that” I croaked.

“You should stop talking” He replied, rubbing my back. The feeling of him touching my body drives me crazy.

“I'm fine” I said getting up and turning to leave before he pulled me to himself.

“Tutor me please” He whispered against my ear. My legs suddenly turned to cooked spaghetti and I wrapped my hands around his neck for support.

“I want you to teach me numbers.” He whispered, nibbling on my earlobe.

“I'll teach you a number of things too. Every single thing you asked for last night and more…only if you let me of course.” He added.

“What…what did I ask?” My croaked voice managed to ask.

“Want me to show you?” He asked. His voice dangerously low. I nodded, before I could think.

His strong arms lifted me off the ground and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He moved like I weighed nothing. A strong man. That's so sexy.

He laid me carefully on the bed.His eyes had darkened with desire.

I wanted him. I wanted him so bad. He dropped slow, teasing kisses on my neck, on my ears, nibbling on the lobe. I felt his hand creep under my shirt and I gasped, arching my back. He wrapped the hand around my waist and pulled me closer. I moaned softly, digging my nails into his back.

Then suddenly, he pulled back.

He stood beside the bed, his lips curled in a sinful smirk.

"Tell me" He whispered, voice low and lethal

“Who's the whore now?”
