Chapter 77: Chapter 77

(Vivienne)

The air in the room was heavy. Not sure what but the atmosphere was rather intoxicating that I failed to wrap my head on what was happening

The window was open and the air was blowing in, causing me to shiver as I shut my eyes tightly. Victor's presence was well known that I failed to keep still. His warm hand was on my belly. He wasn't moving because he had frozen in place

I wanted to open my eyes and see what he was doing but just when I did. A low gasp left my mouth when he slipped his hand in my shirt pulling it up and he was now resting his hand right on my bare skin. His hand was rather cold and smooth as the warmth from my skin extended to his hand

"Beautiful" I heard him murmur and like a fool I kept my narrowed eyes at him. His gaze was lowered to my belly and he was way too close to me that I regretted the idea of letting him touch me. But I had to keep still and ignore the burning sensation I was feeling

"Do you feel it?" I asked hoarsely, my voice low and unsure hoping he would answer and to my surprise, Victor mumbled

"I dunno...can you feel it inside" he rubbed gently on my belly and I sat up having courage. He seemed to be in a good mood hence I extended my hand ready to feel my belly but accidentally. I ended up placing it over his large hand. I gasped a little and prepared to retreat but unexpectedly Victor grabbed my hand and placed it on my belly and rested his on top of my hand

Time stopped right there and then for me. My eyes widened as I fixed them on the man now holding my hand. the gesture was nothing but held a lot of meaning. The way he sat so close with his breathing controlled made me feel funny.

I swore I melted right there and then just by his actions. My eyes shifted to my belly and our hands rested there. I failed to keep calm or ignore the connection I felt just having Victor touch me.

Unconsciously my other hand moved to his shoulder and I kept it there before I could say anything he shoved my hand which rested on my belly away and lowered down. I didn't know what he was doing but when his warm lips connected with my belly.

My eyes widened in shock when he kissed me there. His mouth open and his hot breath sent a strange sensation down my spine that I hissed and bit my lower lip to suppress any sounds from being known

Victor grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him.

"S...sir" I hissed out not sure what he was doing. Did he realize he was sucking his surrogate's belly? Was he okay or in his right senses? I wanted to know because what he was doing didn't look okay. Touching and caressing my belly was okay but kissing and sucking with his tongue doing all sorts of things to me made me go insane as I reached for the back of his head

Everything seemed blurry to me as I held his head and slowly pulled him even closer to me. I wanted more, not sure why but whatever he was doing made me feel something sweet, something wonderful and I wanted to feel it but soon he stopped surprising me as he moved away and looked up at me. His eyes were rather soft more like he was drunk or something but the way he was staring at me gave me chills

"S...sir I…"I parted my lips to say and withdrew my hand from his head knowing I made a mistake touching him but he surprised me when he suddenly

"Ms. Payton...you shouldn't do this to me...it's unfair" he muttered and closed his eyes as if suppressing something. I didn't understand what he meant but  he soon grabbed my hand and pulled me up and I exclaimed when I ended up sitting way too close to him and he snaked his hand to my back

"You should know a man like me isn't someone to provoke" he mumbled huskily and moved his hand to my face and cupped me gently. I was so drunk and intoxicated by his voice that I looked at his lips then to his eyes "I'm dangerous...stick to what...you came here for"he added as he leaned more to my face and brushed his lips against mine. All senses were numbed by his actions. My heart was racing so fast that I failed to keep calm. The bed was soft but it felt so uncomfortable that I slowly shifted around until I had access to his laps. I sat crossing my legs to his sides and rested my hand on his shoulders when his arms wrapped around my back

He was so huge and muscular that I swore I felt like a child in his arms. His broad shoulders were hard and his chest was something else. He was tempting and I didn't know what he was saying. What was happening to me? Were these just pregnancy hormones or what? I didn't feel fine at all

"I love danger...I love taking risks sir"I muttered and moved my hands to his face. I caressed his beard with my thumbs then moved more upwards. He stared at me for a while as if processing what I just told him.

I didn't even know where such words came from or where I got the courage from but I felt him as one of his hands traveled up to my spine, coaxing out a shiver, a sweet shock as he slipped his hand in my shirt as the warmth of his palm met my bare skin

I felt the strength of his other hand and the gentleness as it closed over my nape and tilted my head back

Our eyes met, his gaze was soft and held so much and one of them was pain. I tried to keep calm or stop whatever was making him do that but I couldn't resist what I was feeling.

The temptation was too much for me to resist, this was my first time being so close to a man. I never let my guard down so easily nor did I feel so needy as to crave for a man's touch. Victor was something else. I should run but I found myself yearning for him to move forward and do whatever he had in mind. At that point, I didn't care about anything else

His mouth barely graved mine more a promise of a kiss than an actual one and I shivered as I made a little sound at the brush of his lips

I kept my face upturned straining more because I didn't understand the feeling I got. The closeness of his body and the comfort I found in him

It wasn't about what he was doing but the way I felt whenever he was around me. His presence scared me knowing no one had ever been in control of my desires before. I felt miserable and just wanted him to engulf me in his strong arms even if it was just for a little bit

This feeling inside me was eating me up. I had no right to think cheaply of him but I couldn't help it

"Ms. Payton" he murmured my name and I parted my lips to speak when he sealed his lips with me. My mind went blank feeling his lips on me. Everything around was spinning so fast that my heart was jumping violently. Another hushed descent, a dizzying pressure as he opened my mouth with his, his teeth teased to bite my lower lip and I attempted to suck on his upper lip which I did and it felt so damn nice that I wanted him to kiss me

Was this what a kiss felt like, this was my first. He was my first kiss and when he reached deeper into my mouth, his tongue found the ticklish places which made me feel needy.

He withdrew his tongue just before I could capture it and suck on my lips. I did the same and before I knew it. We were kissing intensely to the point where funny noises escaped my throat. His hands were all over my back while mine was wrapped around his neck

I tried to keep myself from moaning but his mouth tasted so good that we deepened the kiss as he firmly held my neck area. I slipped my hand to his hair and removed the band holding the bun he tied behind and his hair was loose

I always wanted to run my hands in his hair and now I had full access. His hair was soft and wet

Like he knew what I did, he too moved his hands to my hair and fisted me tightly. I hissed against his mouth and moved back, breaking the kiss, while panting and gasping for hair. My breathing was heavy, his heart was racing uncontrollably. I sat there trying to make sense of what he did. What I just did and when I looked up at him my eyes widened. I tried to run but he held me in place and looked at me with intense eyes as if telling me

"You can't start something you can't finish" like he was inside my head I heard his smoky deep voice murmur and I was lost for words

Heat rose from my stomach to my chest. Victor's lips were getting closer and my heart decided to skip a beat, the smell of him hypnotic beyond reason. I parted my lips and felt him washing over like a wave of warmth, curling my toes, unfurling all my senses as the taste of him nearly silenced all thoughts.

My whole body tingled, the feel of his frame leaning on mine as his arms wrapped around me felt nearly forbidden. He pulled me in, claiming my mouth again, hungry and intense, until my knees gave in. By the time I became aware of my fingers, they had already slipped under his shirt, his skin smooth and radiating heat. The fire burning between us was something I didn't know how to control but soon I stopped, panting as I tore my mouth from his

"I'm..I'm..so...sorry...I'm sorry sir" I said, stuttering out the words as I stumbled to get off him. I didn't even waste time, I simply ran away from there, entered the bathroom, and slammed the door shut.

"No...no...what did I do..no...this is wrong" I cried out, muffling my mouth with my hand while keeping the other on the doorknob, afraid that he might come in and scold me. I wasn't crying nor were actual tears coming out but the thought of what I just let happen hit me like an ocean wave carrying me away with it that I found myself floating above the water staring at the bright sun. I made a huge mistake and this mistake was something irreversible

"Vivienne what have you done...how can you kiss him"I scolded myself pulling my hard hoping causing myself pain would get Victor's image out of my head but I could stop myself from thinking about those soft sweet lips. His scent intoxicated me completely and his warm touch brought butterflies to my stomach.

I sank to the cold floor and hugged my knees close to my chest and buried my head between my knees as guilt washed over me. How was I to face him after what happened and what was he thinking letting that happen between us

***

Meanwhile, Victor was angry at himself that he stormed out of Vivienne's bedroom and slammed the door so hard that Leo who was making his way to his room stopped widening his eyes in awe wondering what got him all grumpy

"Hey man, I was…"Victor didn't even waste time as he pushed Leo out of the way with so much strength that Leo stumbled backward and nearly fell down unexpectedly but he balanced to the wall and he watched Victor walked away towards the stairs he seemed angry

He didn't even want to stay in the house. Immediately he got downstairs, he grabbed the car keys and stormed out of the house. He needed to cool off. What did he just do now? How on Earth did he allow that to happen

He entered the car and drove out of the mansion grounds knowing he needed a strong drink to forget whatever just happened.
