LOGINTHIAGO'S POV
"Kiss me."
For a moment, I simply stared at her.
The drunk stranger in a tiny red dress sitting in my passenger seat looked up at me through heavy-lidded eyes, completely unaware of what she'd just said.
I should have looked away. Instead, I found myself staring.
Minutes ago, she'd mistaken me for a wall. Not only that, she'd actually leaned against me and nearly fallen asleep standing up.
Who does that?
The faint scent of her perfume drifted toward me again. It was soft, sweet and feminine.
My gaze dropped to her lips for a brief second. Then, I forced myself to look away.
What the hell was I doing?
Get a grip.
She was intoxicated, emotional, and clearly going through something. Whatever had happened before I met her tonight had left her heartbroken.
The last thing she needed was someone taking advantage of that.
I pulled the seatbelt across her and clicked it into place. "You talk too much," I muttered.
A pout instantly formed on her lips. "I don't." She crossed her arms like an offended child before dramatically throwing her head back against the seat. A few seconds later, she was already mumbling random drunken complaints under her breath.
I shook my head and stepped back before closing the passenger door.
The moment it shut, I released a slow breath as I walked around the front of the car.
Halfway there, my phone vibrated. I pulled it from my pocket, and glanced down at the screen.
It was a text from a contact saved as ‘Mama’.
“Congratulations on your new job. Whenever you're less busy, stop by for dinner.”
I smiled slightly before slipping the phone back into my pocket. Then I opened the driver's door and got in.
I noticed the drunk girl lazily fanning herself. "Hot," she complained.
I started the engine and switched on the air conditioning. Cool air immediately filled the car as her eyes suddenly flew open. She pushed herself upright and undid her seatbelt.
"What are you—"
Before I could make sense of what was happening, she left her seat and climbed onto my laps, straddling me.
Every muscle in my body tensed instantly.
She didn't seem aware of it. She simply looked uncomfortable and exhausted.
"I feel hot," she complained again.
I gripped the steering wheel tight."Sit back."
“I feel so uncomfortable.” She pouted, face squeezed as she moved slightly against me.
I exhaled sharply, jaw tightening so hard it began to ache.
Fuck.
Sit back.
I repeated in my head.
She tried lifting herself off my laps but dropped down right back, her soft ass bouncing directly against my dick.
Holy fuck.
My entire body stiffened. She was one hell of a stranger.
She kept murmuring about how uncomfortable she was feeling but I could only stare at her dumbfounded.
“I want to take it off. I feel so hot.” She murmured, eyes glassy like she was going to cry if I didn't let her.
This girl was going to be the death of my patience.
I dragged a hand down my face. “You're drunk,” I said firmly.
“No.” She immediately shook her head. “I'm very much aware.”
I stared at her.
God help me.
I exhaled slowly through my nose and forced myself to look away from her. Whatever was happening right now, I needed to keep my head straight. She was drunk, and clearly not thinking properly.
“Sit back,” I said.
“I don't want to.” She stubbornly said.
She tugged lightly at the hem of her dress again.
My jaw tightened. “Stop that.”
“Why?”
Because I'm trying very hard to be a decent human being right now.
I stayed quiet as she frowned at me as if I was the unreasonable one. “I want to take it off,” she complained again.
For a second, I considered arguing with her. Then I looked at the way she was practically melting from discomfort and gave up.
Okay.
She was just going to take the dress off. And after that, she'd sit back in her seat and I'd take her home.
Good plan.
So I released her hands and let her do it.
The windows were tinted anyway.
I immediately turned my head toward the window while she pulled the dress over her head.
“Hmm...”
My ears tingled.
That sounded suspiciously like a moan.
What the fuck—
I glanced back before I could stop myself, and instantly regretted it.
Fuck.
Her tiny frame was clad in a sexy, red lingerie set.
I swallowed hard.
I needed to get a grip.
Why did red have to be my favorite colour? And why the fuck was she wearing a red lingerie set?
Her dark hair spilled down her back in soft waves. Even drunk, she looked ridiculously beautiful. Her long eyelashes brushed her cheeks whenever her eyes fluttered shut.
She looked far too innocent for the situation she was pushing me in. She probably wouldn't even remember any of this tomorrow.
My gaze dropped briefly to her exposed stomach. The lace rested against smooth skin, while thin ribbons wrapped around her waist.
I swallowed again.
"...hmm..."She moaned again, pinching her nipples through the bra cups.
Fuck.
Stay calm.
"Move back to your seat." I said roughly.
"I don't want to.” She whined, placing both hands on my chest before shifting slightly on my lap.
My breath caught, then she did it again.
Blood rushed straight to my groin instantly.
My jaw tightened as I gripped her thighs, trying to keep her still.
Damn.
Her skin was unbelievably soft.
I almost cursed at myself.
"Stop moving," I gritted out.
She blinked up at me with flushed cheeks and glassy eyes. "How?"
God.
That innocent look was dangerous.
"Like this?" she asked softly.
Before I could answer, she moved again.
My entire body tensed up. Actually, it had been tense from the moment she'd climbed onto my lap.
"Ahh... fuck." Her head tipped back.
I clenched my jaw.
What the hell was I supposed to do with this girl?
"I want to... hmm..." She shifted again. "I feel so hot down here." Then she looked at me. "Please."
I shut my eyes briefly.
She had no idea what she was doing to me. I could feel my self-control hanging by a thread. A part of me didn't want her to stop.
What the hell was wrong with me?
She was drunk.
I knew that.
Yet every time she shifted against me, my body reacted before my brain could.
“Please…I'm not too drunk, I'm very much aware, please… touch me.” she begged again in a soft whisper, face squeezed with pain and pleasure.
The moment I perceived the sweet scent of her arousal, my last thread of control finally snapped. My hands gripped her hips as I pulled her forward, rubbing her pussy against my bulge.
I stifled back a groan.
“Fuck… again.” She breathed, burying her head in the crook of my neck.
My muscles contracted beneath my shirt.
Fuck… what was I doing?
I kept rubbing her pussy against my bulge as soft, sexy moans spilled out of her lips.
I was painfully hard right now and I couldn't think about anything any longer.
Then, she began bouncing against me, moving her hips upward and dropping her ass directly against my bulge.
“Ohh… damn.” She moaned, biting her lips. My large hands gripped her soft ass as I spanked and smooched it.
“Hmmm… fuck.”
Her wetness had already coated on my trousers around my bulge.
“Fuck.” I groaned, spanking her ass harder.
“Ohh… I want to… hmm… cum.” She breathed, squeezing her breasts.
“Cum for me, little red.” I muttered huskily, gripping her jaw so she could look at me.
Her innocent eyes bore into mine.
Fuck.
Despite the unholy shit we were doing, she still looked this innocent and fragile.
“I'm so close.” She cried out, increasing her pace. I spanked her ass again, raising her hips and bringing it down against my dick.
“Fuck!!!” Her face squeezed in pleasure as her release coated my thighs and around my bulge. The warmth made me swallow hard.
Her entire body went limp against mine.
For a few seconds, none of us moved.
The only sound inside the car was her uneven breathing and the low hum of the car's engine.
I stared down at her, trying to process what had just happened.
This night had taken a turn I never saw coming.
Minutes ago, she had been a drunk stranger who thought I was a wall. Now she was curled up against my chest like she'd known me forever.
I dragged a hand through my hair and let out a slow breath.
What the hell was I supposed to do with her?
My gaze dropped to her face.
She looked peaceful now. The stubborn pout was gone. The tension in her brows had disappeared. Even her breathing had started to even out.
Then a soft snore reached my ears.
I blinked.
No way.
I looked down again.
She was asleep.
A disbelieving laugh escaped me. “Hey.” I nudged her lightly.
She only mumbled something incoherent and snuggled closer.
I sighed. “What's your address?”
“Mm?”
“Your address,” I repeated.
A few seconds passed before she finally stirred. “Uh... Verita's Estate...” she murmured. “Flat six.”
My brows pulled together.
That was... familiar.
I looked down at the sleeping menace in my arms. The crazy girl who mistook me for a wall, nearly fell asleep standing up, and turned my entire night upside down lived in Verita's Estate.
What were the odds?
Carefully, I adjusted her against me so she wouldn't slide off the seat.
She didn't even wake up. Within seconds, she was asleep again.
I shook my head and started the car.
This girl was impossible. And somehow, I had a feeling tonight wasn't the last time I'd see her.
Pulling out of the parking lot, I drove into the night with a hard dick.
THIAGO'S POVHer arms remained around my waist, and for a few seconds, I couldn't bring myself to move. Ariana's cheek rested against my back, and I could feel the warmth of her through my shirt."I'm sorry," she whispered again.Fuck. I'm not mad at you.I slowly lowered my gaze to her hands around me. I couldn't ignore how badly I wanted to turn around and hold her.But then my mind went back to Scott.This was the sweet little soul my brother had deliberately put in front of a moving car just to get her attention. The same woman he had stood there talking about like she was something he could simply reclaim whenever he wanted, like she was his toy and her feelings didn't matter.My jaw tightened.He had already hurt her once, and now he was so confident that he could walk back into her life and hurt her all over again.I wasn't going to let that happen.She deserved better than Scott. She deserved someone who would never make her question whether she was enough, someone who would n
THIAGO'S POVThe drive home was quiet, but my jaw remained locked. I was still thinking about Scott and about everything he said.About the way he had stood there and admitted that he had arranged the whole thing, knowing Ariana could have been seriously hurt. He hadn't cared about her. All he cared about was getting her attention, making himself look like her hero, and convincing himself that he could drag her back into his life whenever he wanted.And then there was everything he had said about me.How he believed I had taken our parents from him simply because they loved me after losing my parents. How he had spent years comparing himself to me, turning every difference between us into another reason to hate me.I understood that he was hurt.I understood that he felt overlooked but none of that excused what he had done.Especially not when Ariana's life had been the price of whatever point he was trying to prove.My hands tightened around the steering wheel. And then Scott sittin
THIAGO'S POVScott noticed.A slow smile pulled at the corner of his mouth as he stood a few feet away from me, his hands slipping casually into his pockets. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice carrying that same irritating amusement. "You look angry."I dragged my tongue across the inside of my cheek and forced myself to relax. "Why did you do it?"The smile on his face didn't disappear. "Do what?"I took one step toward him. "The car."That finally made his smile falter for half a second as surprise flashed briefly in his eyes."I saw you talking to the driver earlier," I said, keeping my voice low. "So don't stand there and pretend you don't know what I'm talking about."Scott tilted his head, studying me for a moment before letting out a quiet laugh. "So you figured it out."My jaw tightened. "You put her in front of a fucking moving car.""I didn't put her in front of it.” He muttered quickly.My eyes narrowed. "You arranged it."Scott shrugged. "I needed something to happen.” M
THIAGO'S POVI drove through my family house gate.Dad had texted me earlier, telling me to come home for dinner, and even though I wasn't in the mood for it, I knew better than to ignore him.I parked and killed the engine. Then I sat there for a few seconds, staring through the windshield.I didn't want to see Scott tonight but I couldn't stay in the car forever, so I grabbed my keys, stepped out and walked into the house.I had barely taken a few steps into the house when I heard voices coming from the dining room.My gaze landed on Scott.My entire body locked. Every muscle in me went rigid, my hands curling into fists before I even realized I was doing it.He was sitting at the dining table like nothing had happened.Like he hadn't put Ariana in danger. Like he hadn't watched her almost get hit by a car and then turned himself into the hero afterward.My first instinct was to walk straight toward him.I wanted to grab him. I wanted to drag him away from the table and demand to kn
THIAGO'S POVThat wasn't an accident.I tightened my grip around the steering wheel as I drove, my teeth clenched hard. My jaw was starting to hurt.There was no fucking way that was just an accident.I had seen that guy before.The driver.I had seen him talking to Scott earlier, somewhere on campus. I hadn't thought anything of it at the time. Why would I? Students talked to each other all the time. There had been nothing suspicious about it, nothing that would have made me stop and question what they were discussing.So I ignored it.I didn't think about it again.Not until now.Not until I heard people talking as I walked toward the parking lot.A car had been reversing and Ariana had been standing in its path. The driver hadn't seen her. Scott had been close enough to pull her away just before the car reached her.Scott had saved her.That was what everyone was saying.And the more I thought about it, the more my hands tightened around the steering wheel."Fuck." The word left my
ARIANA'S POVI tried to pull away from Scott, but his hands tightened slightly around me.I stiffened.I was still too shaken to properly understand what was happening. My heart was pounding, my breathing was uneven, and everything around me felt like it was moving too quickly.Then I looked back towards Professor Thiago to see him walking in our direction.My stomach dropped.People were already gathering around us, talking over one another about the car that had almost hit me."What happened?""That car nearly hit her.""Did anyone get hurt?"“Yes, the guy is bleeding.”My eyes found Professor Thiago again. He had stopped a short distance away, his gaze fixed directly on me.More specifically…On me in Scott's arms.Our eyes met.And suddenly, everything clicked.I became very much aware of Scott's hands around me, his chest against mine, and the way we must have looked from where Professor Thiago was standing.My breath caught.I quickly pushed myself away from Scott, using more st
