CHAPTER 3: CALL TO REALITY

***CALISTA'S POV***

Each step was accompanied by liquid dripping down my thigh. The cold and thick liquid was evidence of the hours of hard work that had just taken place in the grand suite. 

The air reeked of cum. 

I looked at the table, the sofas, and even the bed___ None of which was spared, and I suddenly felt weak. 

My mind couldn't help but drift back to Severin, the man my heart belonged to. Memories of our first date, first time, and even our first kiss played in my head. The day he asked me to be his woman was still very fresh in my mind even though it had been more than a year. 

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Calista.' He had said, his sincerity evident.

I knew he loved me... and I loved him a lot, too. 

Even after dating him for more than three years, not once had I thought about leaving him. Not once had I imagined breaking up with him because I knew... I wouldn't survive a life with him. 

I loved him_ but my body craved another. 

I raised my eyes to look at Raviel, who was lying lazily in bed with his phone in hand, probably playing a game or chatting with his fiancée. 

It made me wonder what had gone wrong. 

It made me wonder what I was doing. 

This was supposed to be a vacation with only Severin and me. It was a vacation to get ourselves prepared for our wedding. A vacation to have all the fun of our lives and love each other even more. However, things changed when Severin suddenly backed out, telling me he had something urgent to attend to at work while I was already in the suite, waiting for him. 

I had only gone out to the swimming pool, hoping to clear my mind of Severin whom I was missing so much it felt like I could die. But getting there, what I saw was a hunk stepping out of the water with water dripping down his athletic physique. His blue eyes seemed to hold the most beautiful stars, and lowering my eyes, I saw a black pant wrapped around a trapped beast, calling desperately to be touched. 

It felt like I had lost my mind at that moment. Everything seemed to crash down as I made my way toward the stranger and boldly touched him...

"Too tired to walk?" Raviel's voice broke my thoughts. 

I lowered my eyes slightly and sucked in a deep breath. "Raviel," I called. 

It was my first time calling out his name, and I suddenly realized how cool his name was... just like my Severin's. 

"Yes?" He also seemed surprised. 

I rested on the bathroom door and gently wrapped my arms around my chest. "You said your wedding is in a month..."

"Yes. The same day as yours." Raviel replied, his face revealing a smile. He seemed happy. 

I sighed again, feeling conflicted. "You're also supposed to be here with your fiancée but she's busy with some parties with her friends. Don't you..." I suddenly stopped as my eyes turned gloomy. 

I wanted to ask him. Was he not thinking about his fiancée, too?

Did he not feel guilty at all?

I had watched him talk to his fiancée several times over the past 2 days, and I saw how much he loved her. The happiness in his eyes whenever he mentioned her name or talked about her was real, and even I could feel it. 

He was just like me... We both had our hearts given to others. 

I shook my head, throwing away the thoughts. "Forget it. I will wash up first." I turned around and entered the bathroom, leaving Raviel baffled. 

It didn't matter. 

Whatever his thoughts were, it would all end in a few days. When I leave here, we will no longer see again. 

We lived in different cities anyway. 

I turned on the shower and felt the cold water pour mercilessly on my body. I closed my eyes, feeling every movement of the water against my skin, and my heart slowly calmed down with it. 

It was too late to regret. Really too late to think too hard about it. 

A pair of strong arms suddenly wrapped around my waist, pulling me into a strong embrace. I rested my head, sinking into the warmth that was vastly different from the coldness that surrounded me earlier. 

"Don't think too much into it." He whispered into my ear. His breath hit my ears, followed by a soft bite. "We are only having fun." He added and licked my earlobe. 

I pressed my lips into a thin line and nodded. 

I suddenly had nothing to say. 

He rubbed against my waist while sucking on my earlobe. The warmth against my waist and the wetness in my ear sent me gasping for air. Raviel's hand slowly moved downward and he trailed his fingers around my vulva. 

He rubbed and pinched. His other hand picked my nipple and he twisted it. "So beautiful." He commented. 

What was? My body? My breasts? Or me?

I bit my tongue hard, trying to remind myself that Raviel was just a sex buddy. He wasn't someone who should affect my emotions so much, and I shouldn't let him. 

He only wanted my body, and I only wanted his. 

I wrapped my arm around his neck and pressed his head down to catch his lips with mine. A low gasp escaped my lips when his finger entered my opening and rubbed against my wall. 

I arched my back, pressing my butt against him, and moaned. 

"I want to fuck you." He whispered, his teeth slightly grazing my lips. "I want to bite you, and devour you." 

My body jerked. I felt my opening water as a response to his words and I bit his lower lip. "Do to me whatever you please." I agreed. 

Raviel removed his fingers from my pussy. The sudden emptiness filled me with distraction and I groaned in displeasure. "Why?" I asked weakly, my wet eyes staring into his. 

He flashed a smile and turned me around. "You're sweating.' He pointed out. "I suddenly can't wait any longer."

I pursed my lips and raised my head, finally realizing that the water had stopped for a while. "Then do me." I replied. 

Raviel nodded and pushed me toward the wall. 

He pressed my face against the bathroom's cold surface. 

Water mixed with sweat dripped down our bodies as he entered me from behind and I let out a soft cry. Pain and pleasure coursing through my veins. 

"Loving it?" He asked, voice tinged with laughter. 

"Yes. Love it." I replied, licking the water that dropped on my lips.  

"Moan louder, Bitch!" He shouted. 

"Fucking bastard. Your dick could work faster." I moaned, my heart lurched in lust. "Make me scream," I ordered. 

Chuckling. He choked my neck, slammed into my hole, and grunted. "Call my name. Tell me I'm yours." He growled, his voice deep with desire. 

I laughed mockingly. "I have a fiancé, you know?"

"Just fuck me, instead." 

I felt the foreign object in my vagina grow bigger as he grazed my wall fiercely and hit my sensitive spot. 

I cried out. My voice growing weak from shouting. "Rav... Raviel..." I moaned out, gritting my teeth. 

He slammed one last time and released deeply into me before pulling out. "Delicious. Just like always." He commented. I could imagine the smile on his face. 

My legs had turned jelly and when I tried to turn around, it felt like I was falling instead. Raviel caught me and carried me toward the bathtub. "Wash up. I think I heard your phone ringing earlier." He muttered as he gently brushed the sticky hair on my face behind my ear. 

I hummed, too tired to speak. 

"I will get the phone for you." He suggested, and I nodded in reply. 

He left and soon returned. The sound of his footsteps was all that made me realize these...

My body ached. 

I felt something pressed on my ear and I slowly opened my eyes. 

"Severin." He whispered. 

My eyes widened. I quickly sat up in the bathtub and snatched the phone from him___ "Babe." I called, suppressing the shakiness in my voice. 

"Darling, I'm at the airport. Can you come pick me up?" Severin's excited voice rang. 

Shit!
