Chapter 33: Chapter 33

River

"Where'd he go?" I whispered to myself as I gazed in the mass of people.

We were at the party. I'd lost Daimen a while ago. All day I'd been resting at my house trying my best to put yesterday's events behind me. Now we were here and I was alone in a room full of people.

Dammit Daimen where are you? I peered around but it was no use, there were too many people.

With a sigh I brushed my dress down making sure it hadn't ridden up. As I fixed it in the back I noticed a young man staring at me. He realized I saw him and gave a smirk his dark eyes traveling me shamelessly. I frowned and he smiled before walking over.

Oh man.

The guy stopped in front of me. He cleared his throat before saying, "Now what's a girl like you doing all alone?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not alone. My friend's here somewhere." I said and he gave a nod before looking around.

"Where?" He said and I scowled. Something about this guy was making me get goosebumps.

"He's right over there--" I said as I spotted Daimen... with some girl. She was ginger and dolled up in a small white dress. Her flawless legs giving off a show because of her tall white heels. She was laughing and running her hands along Daimen who stood there smirking and chuckling. Something was stirring in my stomach that I didn't like and it intensified as the bimbo pressed her lips to his. I felt my mouth fall open some as they kissed, but I quickly shut it and looked away.

He wasn't my man so there was no need to get worked up.

Not my man. Not my business.

"Oh him? Well he looks a little busy." The guy said with a chuckle and I felt my stomach churn.

"Yeah. Well it was nice meeting you, but I'm gonna go." I said and the guy started to say something but I turned away.

I waltzed over toward the kitchen going for a drink.

"Wait." The guy said grabbing my wrist and I looked at him in bewilderment.

"Let go." I said pulling away from him.

"Hey." I glanced over as a young man came to stand beside me. "You heard her; let her go." The guy huffed and let go of my arm then stomped away.

"Thanks." I said softly taking in the newcomer's boyish good looks and silver-dyed hair. His blue eyes sparkled at me.

Why the hell are so many hot people at this party?

"No problem." He said.

I went into the kitchen and weaved through some bodies to get a can of beer.

"Oh, no fruity drink?" The guy said smiling and I shook my head before opening it and taking a sip.

"Would you like to dance?" The boy asked and I gazed at him quizzically.

"Yes. Right after I'm done." I said drinking and he grinned. I finished off the can and tossed it toward a trash bin.

"I'm Jace by the way." The guy said offering a hand and I took it momentarily.

"River." I said softly and he smiled broadly.

'Animal' by Trey Songz started playing and I smiled.

"I love this song." I gasped and the young man chuckled.

"Yeah it's good. Freaky." Jace said and I laughed.

"Oh well." I said shrugging.

"So... how about that dance?" Jace asked and I giggled softly.

"Sure." I said and he led me away towards the group of dancing people before pulling me closer.

We danced together for a while, his hands running along me, me moving against him and just enjoying the moment. It was thrilling. I mean, we weren't being too rowdy, but we were a little crazy with it.

"Maybe we could get out of here later?" Jace proposed. His hands were gripping my hips in a way that reminded me of--

"Not gonna happen." A gruff voice said and a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Jace.

"Daimen, the hell is your problem?" I hissed at him.

"This your boyfriend?" Jace said and I looked at him in shock.

"Yes/ No." Daimen and I said at the same time and I gave the man a glare.

"He's not my boyfriend." I clarified and Jace nodded slowly. Meanwhile Daimen was giving him death glares.

"Princess, you don't have to lie." Daimen grunted pulling me closer to him, "Yes, I'm her boyfriend and you need to move along."

"Hmm 'kay then; River I'll catch you later." Jace said and with a smile to me and a frown to Daimen left.

"C'mon." Slay huffed and gripped my wrist before pulling me along out of the room.

"Daimen, what are you doing?" I snapped as he kept dragging me along but he only shot me a look before turning away.

Finally we made it to the bathroom and he let me go. I rubbed my wrist and glared at him as he opened the door. A guy was in there at the sink.

"Get out." Daimen barked at the man washing his hands.

The guy looked over and frowned, "What?"

"You heard me, get the fuck out." Daimen growled and grabbed his arm before yanking the man out of the bathroom and shoving him towards the wall.

"The fuck man?" The guy sputtered, but Daimen ignored him and led me into the bathroom.

"What the hell was that?" Daimen spat as soon as the door was closed and locked. I looked away from him.

"What?" I asked softly, not knowing why he was so pissed.

"You just let that kid grind on you and touch you!" Daimen snapped and I glanced to him to see his eyes blazing.

Hell no.

"Look I didn't say shit about that whore you had crawling all over you, so get off my ass." I retorted and Daimen frowned.

"You don't-"

"Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about! I saw what she did and you didn't do a damn thing to stop her." I interjected and Daimen scowled before marching over to me.

I looked up at him and tried to control my angry, ragged breaths.

"Just shut up." Daimen huffed and I slapped him across the cheek.

Without a word he grabbed me and shoved me against the wall.

His hands gripped my hips and his jaw ticked.

"Be still." He growled and lifted up my dress to slip his hand into my underwear.

"I'm on my period." I said quickly and he made a face.

"I don't care." He huffed and pulled my underwear down all the way.

Not the response I was hoping for. Actually it'd stopped this morning...

"Daimen-" I hissed.

"Hold up your dress so you don't get any blood on it." Daimen grunted.

I shouldn't want this. But I kind of did.

"Can't this wait?" I gasped as he rubbed me teasingly before moving more aggressively and faster against me. Wetness pooled eagerly between my thighs and Daimen only kept at his vigorous pace.

"Life's too short to not mess around because of some blood." Daimen said before kissing my neck.

"Ahh." I moaned as he shoved his fingers inside me. His other free hand pulled my dress up more before slamming down against my butt and I whimpered in pain.

"I don't like people playing with my things River." Daimen growled into my ear as he fingered and rubbed me. I gasped as he moved faster and a moan slipped out of my mouth.

"Fuck." I cried out as a wave of pleasure hit me and Daimen covered my mouth with his free hand.

"Shh." He huffed as he made my abdomen clench up and soon I was orgasming against him, my moans and such masked by his hand.

He continued his torment and I gripped his shoulder with one of my hands, my nails digging into his shirt. My legs gave out abruptly and Daimen held me up with a grunt.

Daimen removed his hand from my mouth finally and before I could say anything his lips were on mine. Explosions went off inside me and I kissed him back hungrily. His arms wrapped around my waist and he hauled me up against the wall to kiss me better.

"Damn... we've gotta fuck at least once." Way to go Daimen, for ruining the moment. I huffed and pulled away from him.

"Welp..." I said pushing him away so I could get down and he looked at me with a frown.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing. Can we go? I wanna go home." I said and he let out a breath before nodding.

"You lied." Daimen said going toward the sink and I scowled.

"What?" I asked and he shot me a look before turning on the water. I could see his reflection in the mirror and he glanced at me.

"You're not on your period." Daimen said as he washed his hands.

"I thought you would leave me alone." I pointed out and the man scoffed.

"Princess I'm mature, your period doesn't scare me or gross me out. Its natural, honestly I'd be scared if you didn't have one, then you wouldn't be able to...." he cleared his throat and suddenly looked lost for words.

"If you think about it really it's just red lube; plus I'm guessing it'll make you wanna jump my bones so its a win-win." Daimen finished with a smirk. He turned off the water and dried his hands before turning to me.

I rolled my eyes and let out a breath, making sure my dress was straightened.

I left the bathroom not caring if he followed me.

"Hey." I looked over as I made it toward the living room to see Jace and gave him a soft smile.

"Sorry kid but this one's mine." Daimen said wrapping an arm around my waist and glaring at Jace.

I couldn't help rolling my eyes and Jace caught it. "Don't be such a cockblock man. We were just having a good time." He huffed giving me a wink.

"Sure. Bottom line is, she's taken." Daimen said and pulled me against him, my back now pressed to his chest. My eyes widened as I felt something press into my backside.

"Ain't that right Princess?" Daimen asked against my neck and my stomach churned.

"No." I said. Jace let out a quick laugh.

Daimen tightened his grip on me but didn't say anything for awhile.

"I'm taking you home." Slay finally huffed and I scowled.

"I can get there myself." I said. I didn't want to be alone with him.

"Come on." He grumbled and pulled me away.

The car ride home was once again painfully quiet. I was honestly exhausted and wanted nothing more than to climb into bed.

When we stopped at my house I got out and went to the front door. Daimen followed and as I unlocked the door he began talking.

"I'm sorry for kissing that girl." He said and I felt my body tense and a small, involuntary smile tugged at my lips before I forced it away.

"It's fine Daimen. It's not like we're together or anything." I said turning back to him and giving him a long look.

"C'mon Princess don't be like that." He said and I frowned in confusion and turned away.

"Whatever; goodnight Slay." I huffed and went to reach for the doorknob. I opened the door with a twist of my hand and was about to go inside but Daimen clamped his hand down over my wrist.

My eyes widened as he turned me about so I was facing him and his eyes met mine. Without warning, he wrenched me closer and cupped my face before placing his lips to mine.

I was frozen in shock as hormones flooded through me and for a moment a drunk feeling took over me. I didn't make a move to kiss him back, knowing that it may push me over the edge and I squeezed my eyes shut.

His lips were so soft...

He pulled away slightly and I let out a relieved breath. "You know it's kinda hard to kiss you if you won't kiss back." Daimen said softly and his warm breath tickled my lips.

Oh no, there's that feeling again. My eyes drooped and I shook my head softly, "I--We shouldn't. I've gotta get inside. I'm--I'm tired." I stuttered over my words, which came out heavy and breathy.

Daimen huffed and his hands gripped my hips causing a soft moan to hum in my throat.

"I just wanna give you a goodnight kiss." Daimen said and I nodded softly, my hands resting against his chest.

"Can I?" He asked and I was already drunk on his touch. I gave a small nod. My eyes closed as his lips pressed to mine and I tentatively kissed him back. As my lips met his chills ran through me and he pulled me closer. My heart pounded as I kissed him and soon my body was taken over by a lustful need.

My hands slipped upward as the kiss gained passion and I opened my mouth to him as I caressed his neck. I slipped my tongue into his mouth as he pressed himself to me and I felt my underwear wetting.

We kissed for a few more moments before I pushed him away gasping, "Stop." I let out a shaking breath and looked at the ground, trying to calm myself down.

Fuck fuck. Fuckity fuck.

God I wanted him badly. I suddenly realized he was still holding me and I squirmed uncomfortably as I felt the need to do the deed.

"Be mine?" He grunted as I looked up at him. I felt dizzy. His words suddenly hit and I looked at him in shock.

"Daimen..." I breathed in bewilderment. He gave me a sad look and gave a nod.

"I'm sorry. Just forget it. Goodnight Princess." He said quickly and went to his car. I watched him get in and he shot me a look before driving away.

What just happened? I thought and tried to ignore the pounding of my heart.
