The Stranger's Touch.

Elena's POV

The night breeze pierced through my naked body as it blew through the hotel room curtain. His bare hands brushed through my skin in the most erotic way, sending jolts of electricity through my body.

“Aaahh!” I moaned loudly as his wet lips sucked the nape of my neck arousing in me desires and emotions I never thought existed. 

He trailed kisses down my neck, stopping at my cleavage. He paused and carefully peeled the silk blanket off my body, leaving me totally bare. 

Our bodies intertwined on the bed with my arms wrapped around his neck and my legs wrapped around his waist. 

He kissed me all over my body, leaving prints of this passionate night all over me. 

“Oohh!” My body ached in pleasure as the wetness of his lips captured my pink, hard nipple, while his other hand fondled my other breast. 

“You are so beautiful!” His sturdy voice and hot breath pressed against my skin as he parted my legs, settling himself deeper in between me. 

I sealed my eyes shut nervously as I already knew what was coming, yet I felt nothing but want and desire for this total stranger. 

“I promise I will be gentle.” He whispered into my ears, and I nodded my head. 

“Aaahh!” I moaned as immediately I felt his fulness thrusting deeply inside of me. A lone tear escaped my eye and trickled down my face, and he froze.

“Do you want me to stop? I can…” He stammered, but before he could say anything more, I kissed him on the lips, stopping him from going any further. 

“It's okay!” I shook my head and spoke against his lips. 

“I want this,” I muttered and tightened my arms around his neck. A faint smile appeared on his lips, making him look more handsome under the dim light. 

He lifted my butt and thrust deeply into me again, and again, and again till I could feel nothing but a wave of pleasure filling every inch of me. 

“Aaahhh!” I moaned loudly as he continued to stroke and tease me. 

“Hmm!” He groaned as well.

The night became endless as our moans and groans filled the room with our unending lovemaking. 

The following morning, my eyes sluggishly opened to the blaring sound of my ringtone. I wobbled out of bed, dragging the white blanket along with me. 

I scurried through the floor for my phone, and luckily, I found it even though my eyes were half closed. I connected the call without knowing who it was as I was too sleepy to check. 

“What!” My eyes widened at the sound of the doctor's voice.

“On my way!” I jolted up from the floor and quickly disconnected the call. I scanned the dishevelled room only to find my dress sprawled on the floor. 

I tilted my head to the side and found a man lying perfectly still on the bed. 

“Aaahh!” I gasped and almost choked on my own saliva. I stretched my head in order to see what he looked like, as his back was facing me. 

But I needed to get to the hospital immediately and didn't have time to waste. I picked my dress carefully on the floor and quickly slid it on. I grabbed my handbag and clutched my shoe to my chest. 

I didn’t bother packing my hair and tiptoed out of the room, I would not want to wake up the stranger, cause how the hell am I supposed to face a man I had a one night stand with?

I arrived at the hospital almost an hour later and ran straight to my mother's ward. But to my utter shock, it was empty.

“Mom!” I called out, but there was no answer. 

“Miss Elena!” I heard the doctor's voice from behind me and turned to look at him. 

“Where's my mother?” I asked him, and the defeated look on his face made my heart skip. 

“I have the money with me, doctor. The $10 million… Please go ahead and save my mother.” I fastened my hands against his shirt with my lips trembling and my eyes stung with tears. 

“I'm sorry, Miss Elena, but it's too late…” His words trailed, and the tears I had been holding at bay finally poured out of my eyes. 

“Too late… too… “What is that supposed to mean? You asked me for $10 million, and I have it right here. Please just take it and….” My voice cracked into sobs.

“Your mother's heart could no longer handle the pressure. I'm deeply sorry, but we lost her.” The doctor revealed with a low voice, and I froze on the spot. 

“I have the money…Please… just save her. I’m begging you…”My hands shook as I grabbed his coat.

“I’m sorry, Miss Elena…We lost her.” He repeated. 

Lost her?

“No… you’re lying…” I whispered.

“No! No!!” I shook my head. My legs trembled beneath my knees, and my stomach churned at the unbelievable words that were coming out of his mouth. 

“We tried our best….” The doctor's words brushed past my ear in a daze as I could feel my head spinning, and my heart pounding hard in my chest. 

The city lights blurred into my vision as I stumbled my way towards the building complex on foot with hot tears streaming down my face. 

My father's words from last night echoed in my ears as the harsh reality of my life stared at me in the face. 

I had gone to him for what seemed like the tenth time begging for his help with my mother's medical bills. 

“Your sister, Mabel, needs money for her yearly vacation and to get some designer clothes. I can't afford to waste money on someone who is going to die anyway!” 

Those were my father’s words to me that shattered my heart completely. I couldn't handle the heartache and ended up going to the club with Stella hoping to drown my sorrows in some alcohol. 

The elevator ding echoed in my ears pulling me out of my thoughts. With trembling legs, I made way to my James's apartment.

I approached the door only to find it slightly open. I pushed the door and didn't think much of it as I slipped into the sitting room. 

The reeking stench of alcohol hung in the air and my face crumbled into a frown. 

“James…” I called out with trembling lips, but there was no answer. I walked to the room, and suddenly my breath siezed for some minutes as I made it to the door. 

The moaning sound from a familiar voice slipped out through the slightly opened door, and my fist clenched tightly. 

I walked closer and peeped into the room only to find my fiancee and my sister, Mabel intertwined under the sheets. 

I slammed the door open, and the both of them stiffened on the bed.

“Elena…” James rolled his eyes and placed a soft kiss on Mabel's forehead before getting out of bed with a sigh. 

“How could…” My voice shook with more tears streaming down my face. 

I lost every bit of strength left in me and slumped on the floor with my arms wrapped around my body. 

“Hello, sister…” Mabel rose from the bed and strolled towards me. She lowered herself to the floor and grabbed my chin.

“I'm sorry you have to find out this way, but we have always wanted to tell you.” Her words rung in my ears, and I immediately felt suffocated, unable to catch enough breath. 

“Oh my goodness! You look pale all of a sudden. Are you sick?” She burst into laughter, and my chest tightened with pain hammering through me. 

“Good thing you now know. I want my ring back, Mabel is the only woman who deserves it, not some low life like you.” James spat, and his words felt like dagger stuck in my chest. 

“You heard him, right? Now give the ring back!” My sister glared at me, and after some seconds, she grabbed my hand and pulled the ring out of my finger forcefully. 

“James!” That was the only thing my mind could come up with. The sting of betrayal clouded my mind, and I could feel my body shutting down.

“Oh please! What a dramatic much. James is the son of an important executive of the West Corporation. Did you really think he would marry someone like you?” She glared at me.

“You can't do this to me… You promised…. You…” My voice cracked, and more tears poured out.

“My love, I seriously can't deal with this anymore. I feel so dizzy, and it's affecting our baby!” Mabel's voice descended, and she slumped on the floor as well. 

My breath siezed, and my eyes widened with shock at the words that just came out carelessly from my sister's mouth. 

“Mabel! Honey!” James grabbed her. 

“Can't you see what you have done? How do you intend to take responsibility for this?” James yelled at me, but I could barely hear a thing he was saying. 

He carried her and hurried out of the room in a flash while I just knelt down on the floor numb and shattered.

A month later, I stood in front of the broken mirror in my bathroom, staring at my pale and swollen face.

A lone tear escaped my eye, and even though I tried to hold myself, the tears still flowed as the harsh reality of my miserable life clung unto me.

My mother was dead, and my fiancee cheated on me with my sister, who is now pregnant with their child, and now I have nothing else to live for. 

My stomach churned, and before I could process what was happening, I found myself throwing up on the floor. 

“Aargghh!” I graoned as the nause crept up to my throat. 

I have been feeling lightheaded the past few days and have not been able to keep food down. It must be the stress from my mother's funeral and having to do everything alone.

Suddenly my eyes caught sight of my period calendar on the bathroom wall and my eyes widened.

My heart skipped, then it stopped completely.

No…

My fingers trembled as I counted the days again, and again.

“I’m… late.” My breath hitched.
