Chapter 19
Her eyes slowly peered up at him and he felt like a sudden fall of a heavy weight on his chest. All at once her desperate attempt to get out of Kansas airport, her undisclosed fear which she was trying to conceal under her blabber and the hidden grief behind her smiles began to make sense. Was she in an abusive relationship? His hands unknowingly began to turn to fists.
“Not the way you are thinking it to be.” She suddenly answered and he breathed out an air of relief but the answer left him with more questions that he wanted to ask her.
She was doing it again. Fidgeting with her fingers. “What happened?” He walked closer to her.
She snickered and shook her head but this time her eyes were telling a different story. In fact giving it all. His mind was whirling to dangerous scenarios while she ran her hand in her hair. And he noticed how silky they were. His fingers itched to touch them. But ignoring the lascivious sensation, he asked her. “It was recent. Wasn’t it?”
“What?” She stared into his orbs shocked and he repeated his statement. “Because you did not want to spend your vacation alone you wanted to come back to your aunt and uncle.”
“How could you assess people’s emotions so flawlessly?”
“So I was right.” Before he could dwell himself in his assumption, Merlyn swung her arms around him and their lips collided in a shocking endeavor. His hands went to hold her head in place and her hands cupped his light stubble filled cheeks. Their lips massaged each other, twirling to emotions they did not know they possessed. Her tongue swept across his lips reaching to the deep recesses of his mouth and thereby reaching the neck and the warmth of his shoulders. But before he could realize what happened and cherish the moment she pulled away.
“Max has been my boyfriend since the time I joined my aunt and uncle after my parents death. I finished my schooling and I went to study in California university for physiotherapy. Subsequently he too managed a seat there, I don’t know how. Initially I was very happy but as our relationship progressed, I began to fear him. He became all the more controlling and assertive. He doubted me on everything I did and raked a fight. He lacked self-confidence and ultimately one day I saw him doing drugs and sleeping with my roommate. They robbed my money, everything that I saved up for my education including the room rent. Finally I had to sell my laptop including the Christmas gifts I bought for my family to complete my education and run over to my home in need of a roof over my head. Practically I am homeless is what you can say. Now shut up with your prodding and let us not talk about this again.” She said breathlessly and reached the bed.
There was no way in her life she was going to rehearse what happened to her a couple of months ago at the university. Merlyn decided she would stay out of his business so that he would stay out of hers. But the sexual tension between them was too high. His cheeks and lips were tinted red.
Stephen had his share of women in his past but the overwhelming feelings he experienced with Merlyn were unmatched and unsurpassed. He felt the same electric shock that he knew will always be there when he touched her since the time he came to know about her identity.
There was more that he needed to know about her. Her parents were dead. Somehow the fact did not settle well with him. There was a kind of bitterness enveloping his throat. The names of the wife and husband who died many years ago during the accident with his brother had the same names. But Rachel and Samuel are the most common epithets which more than half of the American population would have. When his private investigator, John, supplied him the information, he did not have much thought until a few minutes ago when she said her parents died in an accident. Alarm bells began ringing in his head. How was he going to find out about the happening when she was not of the nature to share an iota of her pain with him and cleverly conceal it in her smile?
Merlyn saw the rigid man in front of her turn to fluid, like a fish floating in its own space. His shoulders relaxed and his dark eyes turned to mesmeric shade of sea greens. She discovered the wantonness in her to kiss him again. There was some sort of magical power in him to which she was attracted.. like they had known each other for long.
She wanted to run her hands again on his chiseled jaw and feel his strong chest against her globes. Just like she wanted his face slowly crawled closer to her.
She wanted to feel what was inside that expensive suit he carried on himself, she wanted to pull that tie using which she wanted to bring him closer to her. Merlyn was still processing her feelings for him when their lips met once again and she felt them sinking to the bed.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
The temperature outside was below zero but the warmth his tongue carried wrapping in every meek cell of her body was of the boiling point bringing the unexplainable hotness in her.
His hands quickly worked in pulling out the layers of clothing in her. He was an Adonis with perfect taut muscles. His lips slid down to her throat planting butterfly kisses reaching the swelling of her breasts.
Wetness pooling between her legs thrilled her body. Once they were clad naked brushing each other’s skin, she took time in feasting on his muscled body, his rippling abs and sturdy sternum.
His eyes dilated with desire turning black that swallowed the beautiful green of his eyes and his full perfect lips took in her pert nipples. Merlyn moaned and whimpered, arching her back and giving him the soft loops of her body to please her.
His hands brushed every fold of her womanliness reaching between her legs. Their lips collided in a flurry. His dexterous fingers cupped her pussy and inserted a finger into the honey dew setting her to a frenzy.
The bed creaked underneath their bodies as his hands worked magic inside her. Soon his finger was replaced by his tongue and he licked away her wetness clean and dry.
The ice continued to drizzle down from the glass window panes but even during the freezing temperature she found her back sweating underneath.
The desire between the two of them was unrestrainable. “Please tell me you’re….”
“I’m a virgin.” She felt the heat of his body at once parting away from her.
He was staring down at her in shock. “What?”
