“I hope I'm not intruding," a voice came from behind as they slipped into the room I planned on cleaning.
He pulled me into the room just as fast as he entered and shut the door. I looked at him with wide eyes. It was Brian my high-school crush.
What's he doing here?
He pressed me against the door frame and covered my mouth with his hands. He looked at me with concern before he pressed his ear against the door, he had no problem with that as he towered over me.
Dazed by our close proximity, I held my breath. With his hand still over my mouth I looked down at his other hand which held the door knob. The veins along his hand caught my eyes, something reckless stirred in me.
He's grown so much, compared to the last time I saw him in high school. His side view was ruinously perfect with a straight nose and exceptionally long lashes that cast dark shadows on his cheeks, a playful hint of stubble along his jawline, and those full lips that promised trouble without even moving with his black hair gleaming under the light. Just as I was about to move away from his grip, I could hear footsteps beyond the door.
“Do you hear that?” He asked, his deep voice rumbled above me before his brown eyes glanced down at me. I nodded in response, pulse racing. “They are coming for me, stay calm for a moment…just for a moment”
I listened to him and stayed still. Although it made no sense why he's hiding in a hotel room with a lowly staff member like me when his father is someone so wealthy and powerful, he could summon an army of security in seconds.
With all the strength I could muster, I slipped away from him retreating to the other side of the room. My body burned with embarrassment but I missed the heat of his nearness.
“Call the security or something….sir” I said. Acting familiar with him could be a mistake if he even remembered me at all.
He looked at me but said nothing
Does he even remember me?
He barely noticed me in highschool. We had shared the same classes for years and even been in most of his group assignments. Most of the time I was the group leader and always ended up doing his part of the assignment cause I was scared to confront him even when other members of the group persuaded me to.
“No one knows I'm here and no one should” He waved his hand signaling a no as he spoke. “I don't know who they are. I only figured they were plotting to come after me when I left the private pool. I have no idea how they spotted me. Even my father’s security guards are still scrambling to find me.”
At that moment it clicked. My eyes dropped and there he was, nothing but a towel that slung dangerously low on his hips. Water beads slid down his toned abs and along that sculptured v-line which disappeared into his towel. His damp dark hair dripped a little onto his shoulders, each bead of water traced his fair skin. I turned my back at him, fanning my face with my hands as heat flooded my body. If only he knew the chaos he stirred in me without even touching me.
“Sorry, I hadn't noticed you were on a towel” I pressed my cold palms against my hot face, breathing through my mouth trying to stay calm.
“I'll take my leave now” I said without turning to face him.
With my head lowered, I searched for the cleaning cart I'd completely forgotten about and crouched to gather the scattered spray bottles and cleaning agents.
“Sophia?”
The low voice rumbled right behind me. I was startled, jerking away when I realized he stood close to me. My heart kicked against my ribs.
He remembered me!
My heart raced with excitement. I turned to him, lips pressed together.
“Hello Brian” I said, trying to hide every tone of excitement.
“What are you doing here?” He asked. His gaze sweeping the room before settling on the cleaning cart in my hands. “A room attendant?” his gaze sweeping the room before settling on the cleaning cart in my hands, stacked with bottles and sprays.
“Yes,” I muttered.
“Oh…wow. I thought you'd be working somewhere big. Maybe in a university at least. Considering how intelligent you were back in highschool” He said as he casually strolled across the room in his towel to sit on the bed.
“I'm not a drop out. I'm in university now, my final year at that” I tried to look at anything but him. It was impossible to ignore the defined ridges of his abs and the effortless strength in his arms. From where he sat on the bed, his long legs stretched out, taking up the space like he owned it.
He's so freaking tall compared to the last time I saw him.
“Oh nice, I'm a University student too” He shrugged.
He still had that carefree personality just like back then.
“Your face is red” He said as he stood from the bed and walked towards me.
“My face?....haha, you must be mistaken” I said awkwardly, knowing fully well he was correct. I placed my hand on my face trying to cool my face down.
I took two steps back with every step he made towards me. He looked me straight in the eye like I was his prey, while I tried my best to look at anything but his abs.
“You still like me don't you?” He said, a smirk curving his lips, infuriatingly sure of himself
My eyes widened as my back hit the wall, his body closing the distance between us.
“What…what do you mean?” I scoffed, feeling my cheeks burning with embarrassment.
“Everyone in our grade knew you liked me Sophia” He said as he slipped his hands on my jaw and lifted it a little which made me look at him. “I figured out Sophia”
The way he said my name ignited a lustful feeling in me. His scent was intoxicating me making me unable to think.
“Can I kiss you?” He asked, my eyes widened.
I looked at him but his eyes were fixed on my lips. My mind screamed no but my treacherous body said otherwise. It would be my first kiss and I wouldn't mind if my first love had it, I had been waiting for this day. Finally something outside academics, working and bills to pay. I nodded my head in reply and in a matter of seconds he removed my glasses and leaned in to kiss me.
I let out a moan I couldn't believe I could. His lips sent fire that ignited me from within, my legs trembled as he pressed in closer to me deepening the kiss. He slipped his arms between my thighs from the back and lifted me into his arms as my legs crossed his torso. He gripped my ass and moaned.
His moaning resonated through my body. I pulled away from him, I was breathless. His eyes were hooded and held lust, this time they weren't focused on my lips but my exposed cleavage.
My face flushed.
“Can I continue?” He whispered, looking straight into my eyes. I could tell he was yearning.
Still breathless I nodded. He adjusted me on his arms like my weight was nothing. He traced his finger up my back till he got to my neck and pushed my neck softly closer to his lips and his other arm held me just underneath my butt.
I let out a moan as soon as his lips touched my neck, I leaned back as he traced kisses along it till my clavicle and placed a soft kiss before I felt his teeth and tongue softly suckle that spot. I let out a soft moan.
“You're intoxicative” he placed a kiss directly on my cleavage “seductive” he placed another kiss there “the perfume you use it's…”
He lifted his head away from my cleavage and stared directly at me. His fingers that once supported my neck moved from my neck ever so slowly to the zip on my dress. My heart beat frantically as I figured he was going to undress me but stopped and looked at me like he was asking for permission. I swallowed the huge lump in my throat, I didn't want to stop. So I nodded
He moved with sudden but deliberate speed. I gasped as the cool air from the room brushed against my exposed skin, sending shivers down my spine. Before I could catch my breath, the world tilted, and I found myself against the bed he hovered over me. His gaze roamed my face, then lowered as he stared at my breasts. He slipped his hand under my back and just as fast unclipped my bra while his other hand supported him. His touch sent a shiver through me as he drew me closer. Heat coiled in my stomach. The world outside that room ceased to exist; there was only the thundering of my heart and the dangerous pull between us.
Ever so gently he removed my bra from my shoulders before completely removing it causing my breasts to bounce. He froze, like a deer caught in headlights, fixed on my chest. My cheeks burned as I quickly covered myself with my hands. He blinked several times.
“Are you…uncomfortable?” he asked, his tone tinged with disappointment.
I nodded, my throat too tight to speak. His lips pressed into a thin line as he started to move away from me. Without thinking, I caught his arm, my fingers tightening around his wrist. Our eyes locked, my pulse roared in my ears, my mind screaming at me to put a distance between us. But my body betrayed me, aching for his touch.
He hovered above me. The weight of his palms pressed into the mattress on either side of my head, framing me completely. His gaze burned into mine, silent, waiting.
“Continue,” I whispered.
The lustful thoughts engulfed me as I traced my fingers down his arm till I interlocked my fingers with his then looked at his eyes. His breath hitched as he wet his lips with his tongue and gulped.
“We're doing this for the first time, but you'd be the death of me” He smirked. I looked away flustered “I'd turn off the light so you wouldn't feel embarrassed anymore…should I?” I nodded.
I watched as he lifted himself, stretching towards the nightstand to grab a remote to turn off the lights. Only a little ray of moonlight shone across the room.
“Better?” He asked, as he leaned in to place a kiss on my neck.
“hmmhm” I moaned in reply.
My body pulled closer to him under his touch. He slipped his hand underneath my arched back tracing his fingers up and down my spine as he traced kisses down my neck till he got to my breasts, his mouth closed over my nipples sucking them softly. I let out a shuddering moan, my body quivered as a shiver ran down my spine. My reaction gave him room to devour me more as he moved from my left breast to the right then back.
His mouth left my breasts, trailing slow burning kisses down my stomach while his fingers teased my nipples, fondling them between his fingertips. Shifting to my side, he tugged my dress the rest of the way off, leaving me in nothing but my pink lace panties.
“The landlord. He evicted you from the house” my heart dropped “They broke into your house yesterday and took your things out. He kept screaming about your unpaid rent” My world crashed, I couldn't speak.“I'm on my way Maros” I muttered.I froze, not sure if I should run home, email the agent and call him or do them all at once. First I got fired, now this. I scurried through the back of the hotel, and flagged a cab right after I had counted how much cash I had in my purse. Cabs are fast but pricey. In less than 20 minutes I was in front of my house. My luggage and stuff scattered outside on the grass like garbage. I walked past them towards the voice from inside my apartment living room. My front door dangled off its hinge exposing a scattered living room. Two large men dressed in black with black shades stood inside the living room like statues. A short man who seemed like he was in his early thirties sat on my sofa, on a phone call. I cleared my throat, mustering all the courag
I limped down the hallway, trying to move fast but every step hurt. What could we have possibly done that my legs hurt so much? I groaned, my legs were slowing me down. I passed the cleaners elevator with the cleaning cart. By the time I reached the changing room, I was breathless. I opened my locker and gasped, the image I saw staring back at me from my mirror looked nothing like me. I looked terrible. My straight black hair was a tangled mess, dark pink bruises littered my neck, and my glasses sat crooked on my nose. I quickly adjusted my glasses and grabbed a comb from my locker to brush my hair. Suddenly,I heard someone yelling my name as they pushed the door hard, slamming it right after.“Madam Louise” I turned to see she was the one “Sophia!” She screamed my name into my face, I closed my eyes, folding my lips “where did you go right after I instructed you to clean the vip suite? The one time you were told to clean a vip suite you vanished” She said her hands akimbo on her
A rush of panic and desire engulfed me. I was almost naked in front of a man. The same scenario I might have judged harshly in another girl yet here I was, breathless and exposed before him. My first love. His mouth found the hollow of my neck, his breath hot against my skin. He nibbled my earlobe gently, sending a shudder through me. “Forget I said you're intoxicating, you're devastatingly alluring” He kissed the back of my ear “enthralling” he said as he traced his fingers down my torso till he got to the hem of my panties.I lay there exposed, every one of my nerves alight. He traced my skin, and with each slow movement, my back arched instinctively. A tight, aching heat coiled low in my stomach just as his fingers slipped beneath the lace of my panties. My breath hitched, tilting my head back as my fingers fisted the sheets.I let out a moan the instant his fingers found my clit and his mouth clasped down on my nipples again sucking them. Subconsciously I clenched my thighs as h
