Chapter 70: Chapter 70

"I fell in love with him when he was the only one who rescued me through my emotions." [Riley Brown]

.......

The smell of her body hypnotized him beyond reason. Her Lips felt luscious as they almost melted in his. But the kisses were smooched mushy nothing like the one he would have wanted. However, The way she kissed him was nothing like he had ever experienced before. A feeling of deja vu surrounded him as he looked at her enlarged face that was so intent on kissing him that she had closed her eyes. The dim light rained down on her long eyelashes and he realized her lips were quivering.

Just when he realized she was going to break the messy sloppy smooch, he pulled her closer to himself and closed his eyes falling into the intoxication of her lips. Nibbling, plunging into her little mouth making her breathless.

Riley felt her whole body tingling, the feel of his sweaty hands running over her body nearly felt forbidden but not the kind she didn't want to try. A minute later he left her to breathe,

"I." By the time word came out of her mouth he pulled her mouth against his again. Claiming it. It was an intense kiss.

His kisses felt like black holes pulling her in until she lost the power to think. Her toes curled as he plunged his tongue conquered the depths of her mouth pulling her into his warmth while taking away the sweetness from hers. Her heart thumped in the chest with his as she felt his vibrating chest and she surrendered wholly to the downward force who pulled her harder against the pillow.

His kisses slowed, becoming tender and infinitely more as he moved to her neck. She was breathless and unprepared to take the next step with him. She did say she wanted to give them a chance but not like this.

He traced the line of her breast with his lips wanting to just tear the shirt from her chest but she reached her hands and stopped him. His dazed unremarkable eyes looked up at her in question and she shuddered to notice his burning desire. His thumb brushed against her swollen lips and she heard her breath hitching in response.

"May I?" The tone of his voice was seductive. Suggestive and for a moment she wanted to give into him.

But another moment she wanted to wait to see what would happen if they dated like regular couples. Deciding against her primal desire she didn't allow his seductive eyes to disarm her. Even though she wanted determination in her words. But it barely came out as a whisper.

"No."

Christian didn't obey, for he knew how to seduce her to give in. His lips brushed against her jawline. Slowly very slowly and the light touches sent shivers down her core.

"Are you sure?" He traced her collarbone with his cold lips.

"I should stop!"

She said nothing, but her body did as she trembled in anticipation.

His mouth brushed against the hollow of her temple igniting the pure desire in her.

"Should I?" He nibbled on her left ear. He was testing her, teasing her to see if she would allow him to do something more to her. Not because he was unaffected by her.

He was affected in a way that he wanted nothing more than to leave the seduction and claim her directly.

but he knew patience was the key if he wanted to win against this woman and his need to make her his. He was testing safe waters for he knew if she had decided to kiss him, it meant he could kiss her too.

Blood boiled under Riley's skin, as a gasp escaped her lips when he nibbled her lower lip roughly. Her senses were subdued by the fluttering rush of adrenaline.

"Should I stop Honey?" This time his voice was even huskier.

Throwing the reason out of the window she launched her swollen lips on his while murmuring "No." Her lips sunk in perfectly with his. Seduced Riley didn't notice the joy in his eyes and the sly smile that he had for the first time after two years.

The maddening strands of hair framed her heart-shaped face as their lips fought with each other for dominance. The air around them got thinner and hotter.

Heat rose from his body and he was no longer in control of his desire. Neither he was able to control his actions, her gasps aroused something feral within him. Gathering her body against him he rolled over the bed, pulling her down his body their bodies tangled together still kissing.

The sloppy kisses left him wanting for more and there was only an emotion of need. His fingers skimmed through her buttons as he helped her remove her clothes while she helped him with his. Her warm skin against his rough skin. Half-mad. Half desperate. Half happy. He sank into her core slowly with a smile while their gaze met and he murmured before kissing her

"Mine. Finally Mine."

Their hips molded together as he taught her to move with him in a rhythm. Till their tangled bodies danced on the velocity of supreme human desires.

His powerful body shook with hers as they reached their high and his mouth made a run for her neck melting into her flesh. They made love thrice until Riley fell asleep from exhaustion while Christian stared at her dumbly. Admiring his artwork on her curvaceous body. He wasn't satiated, but then again he never wanted someone that much softly. That much violently. Taking her in his arms, and resting in the crook of her neck he slept peacefully unaware of the problems that will surround him in the future.

(Stuart's Condo)

After Riley went Home her mother and Uncle Stephen left too after half an hour. Perhaps they were aware of his sour mood and the reason for it so they didn't want to disturb him. He was now idly sitting on the floor beside his couch on the ground drinking. His phone was playing a recording of Riley's earlier confession in the background with each word she said his hand holding the glass of wine shook in regret. As he relieved the scene in his head

"I love you, Riley. I love you. Did you hear me? I have always loved you! Fuck everybody knew I have always loved you! How could you think I don't?" Tears fell in the glass but he was too away from the real world to notice it. The woman of his dreams thinks he never loved her. Life had made a joke of him.
