I moved my body to the beat of the music not caring about the flimsy material of my dress that played peek-a-boo with my underwear.
The dance floor was packed as we all danced and swayed, sweat glistening on our skin.
But yet the hair at the back of my neck stood on alert.
I felt a burning gaze on me.
My eyes searched amongst the large crowd, and that was when I saw him.
His gaze was zoned in on me as he watched me dance; it gave me liquid courage, along with the few shots I had.
I rocked my hips and allowed my own hands to roam
My body slowly, while I maintained eye contact with this stranger who looked like he was about to devour me whole and consume me.
I noticed his lips part a bit, just the go-ahead I needed.
He was my catch for the night.
I moved to the bar, and the bartender raised his eyebrows when he saw me seated.
“It’s my last cup for the night.”
I half pleaded? I was sure he was looking out for me and didn’t want a repeat of the last time when I stripped naked.
“I would have whatever the lady is having.”
A cold yet soothing voice sounded from behind me.
Bingo!
I turned to face the stranger, but my breath hitched immediately.
It was a good thing I was seated because my limbs grew weak just seeing him up close.
Time to play.
“I am not sure you would enjoy a pineapple martini.”
His eyes remained on me as he spoke, “Must taste good.”
“The drink or me?”
“Both.”
“How would you know when you haven’t tried it?”
“We can fix that.”
This man wasn't even trying and yet my soaked pantries said otherwise.
He took a sip of the drink, and a soft groan escaped his throat.
“Here I have tasted it.”
“How… does it taste?” My breathing became erratic and the club felt hotter than before.
“Good…” He moved closer to me until I was right between his legs, but there’s one more thing left to taste.”
He leaned over and took my lips in his devouring me while not caring about the crowd around us.
Neither did I. We kissed and it felt like the whole world became silent for a minute.
He shoved his tongue into mine as his teeth bit my lips, it was a mixture of pain and sweetness.
“Your place or mine.” He asked before taking my lips again.
“Yours.” I managed to reply in between.
“Let’s go.”
We got in a cab, after he had barked out the direction to the driver.
He pulled up the blind, affording us some privacy.
His lips were on mine again as he placed me gently on his thigh.
I could feel his erection bulging through his pants.
It took every ounce of self-control left in me not to touch it.
His hand roamed my body, leaving a trail of heat with every touch.
When he got to my waist he tugged on the string of my thong and shifted it to the side.
He cupped my ass cheeks in his hand before he pushed his finger through my sex.
His finger slipped through easily with how soaking wet I was.
“Fuck!” He muttered into my ear as he inhaled my scent at the same time.
Embarrassment flushed through my cheeks at how my body responded to his touch.
He started moving his fingers slowly allowing me to adjust to his pace bit by bit.
He slid a second one inside, increasing his thrust causing me to tip off the edge.
He caught my moans in his mouth as his kiss silenced them.
My body shook as my orgasm rolled over me, and he held me steady on his lap resting his head on mine.
We both chuckled, “Do you think he heard us?”
I was referring to the driver who drove quietly.
“I don’t care if he did.”
I removed myself from his lap and arranged my dress as best I could.
“You are so addictive.” He whispered.
“Why don't we save the rest for later?”
“Good idea.” I giggled seeing the obvious distress he was in as his erection still poked through.
The car came to a halt.
“This is your apartment?”
“Yes, I just moved into the city so a friend of mine owns the apartment complex, so he allowed me to lease at a lesser price,”
“Thats nice of him.”
We took the elevator to his floor.
Every step I took closer to his flat built anticipation, my panties were beyond wet, it was completely soaked trickling slowly between my thighs.
This wasn't my first hook-up with a stranger, but he felt different like a mixture of mystery and danger.
He unlocked the door with a key card while his other hand rested just below my waistline.
“This is your last chance to back out.”
“Hell no!” I remarked, causing him to smile.
Immediately we crossed the door, our hands were on each other, his lips on mine.
One of his hands fisted my hair as I tugged on his belt buckle to break free his hard d*ck.
He carried me in his arms, positioning me right at where his d*ck stood still hard.
He opened another door, which I guess was to the bedroom, I wasn't sure because I wasn't looking.
He placed me gently on the bed, pushed my underwear aside, and in a single thrust he was buried deep inside me.
He allowed me some minutes for my body to get used to his size, before he began moving inside me.
We spent the entire night worshipping each other's bodies, orgasm after orgasm.
I lost count of how many times I orgasmed, this has to be the most in my entire life all in one night.
Sleep eventually caught on, dragging me under.
When I woke up the next morning my entire body was sore, I let out a groan forcing myself to get up.
The stranger I just had the best night of my life with wasn't present.
Thank goodness it could make leaving less awkward.
I had already broken one of my rules by sleeping over at his place.
I searched around for my dress and underwear, quickly putting them on.
I tiptoed my way to his front door, just as I was about to open the door, it clicked open from the other side.
“Fuck.” I muttered beneath my breath, but I was sure he heard.
"Running away?” He sidestepped me as I entered the apartment. That was when I noticed the brown paper bag and coffee cup in his hands.
Shit! He can't be getting me breakfast.
I cut straight to the chase, “Last night was fun, but it will never happen again. It was a one-time thing, I don't do long-term and I certainly don't fuck the same guy twice.”
Roseline’s POV…Three men entered, Gabriel standing close beside them. The moment Gabriel spotted me, his eyes widened and he darted a questioning glance at Florian. Florian walked straight to me, leaned down, and whispered in my ear, telling me to sit in the corner until he was finished.I nodded slowly, I didn't really have a choice so I sat on a chair at a corner and played with my phone.I hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but their voices drifted over anyway. The three men sitting across from Florian were chefs, directors of the upcoming cookathon, by the sound of it, and they were huddled together, discussing the competition only a few weeks away.“We would just need a few chefs from your restaurant, the best chefs,”one of the men said.“Yeah I already have the list of the top chefs in this establishment, I assure you these ones are talented”Florian said.I remember a few days ago he told me I was part of the top chefs but I still don't believe him, I think he was just trying to make
Roseline's POV..I stared at him with wide eyes, I couldn't believe he just told the assistant head chef and two other chefs present that I was his girlfriend.Shit.I turned to Gabriel, whose tense glare practically begged Florian to shut his mouth before he said another word. Catching the hint, Florian quickly dismissed the remaining chefs.Gabriel looked at both of us for a while.“We'll talk later,”he said to Florian before walking away. Florian just simply nodded.A sudden prickle of dread tightened in my chest.Did I get him in trouble?“I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, I didn't —”“Come with me”he said, pulling me away to his office.Once we got in and the door clicked shut, he picked up some wipes and helped me clean my damp body.“"I can do it myself," I mumbled, reaching to take the wipes from his hands.He didn't let go. Without a word, he simply continued, gently brushing the water from my skin.“I'm so sorry for causing you any problem, hope I didn't get you in trouble
FLORIAN'S POV …““You’re kidding, right?” He let out a dry, disbelieving laugh.“I wish I were,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.He stared at me, the humor completely draining from his face as the reality of my words set in. “I don't understand. How? Why? When did this even start? I thought she was just your roommate.”I pulled out a chair, gesturing toward it.“Sit down,” I said, taking a deep breath. “Let me explain everything.”He hesitated for a while before taking his seat.I explained everything to him, from the part where she went to meet her father in the hospital and found out that he has only a few months to live and he wants her to get married before he dies.“So she asked you to marry her and you accepted?”he asked.“Yeah, it's just a contract marriage, nothing serious.After her father dies we can get a divorce” I said.“This can also benefit me too, think about it. That old man and his wife are also on my neck about getting married so this is also a way of gett
FLORIAN'S POV…I tiptoed into the pitch-black living room, Roseline slipping in right behind me. Her heart hammered so loudly it nearly drowned out our feather-light steps, until the sudden, echoing crash of something hitting the floor shattered the silence.“Wait here”I told her and went into a corner and brought out a gun.There were guns and other weapons at every hidden corner of the house, Gabriel made sure of that.They were hidden in a way that someone who hadn't been in the house for years wouldn't know where to find them.“No I'll follow you, you can't just leave me behind”she said, her voice visibly shaking."Stay here. Take this." I handed her a small knife. It looked small and useless, but in the hands of someone skilled in the art of self-defense, that blade could take down ten men.Silently, I moved into the darkness, feeling my way along the wall until my fingers found the switch. I flipped it, and light flooded the room.Everything was still intact, nothing missing, no
