THE BET IS ON
He was slipping away from his original self. He was drawing nearer to a different world that he wasn’t used to.
He was the down-to-earth type. Even his stance commands respect in his solely arrogant ambience.
He got rejected twice by Maria, a thing that had never been since he was of age. He felt ashamed and humiliated, not even his friends must know how shitty things had gone between them.
He wasn’t certain of what to do at the moment but he was certain that he wasn’t going to relay his rejection to his friends.
He was determined, that if Maria wasn’t going to be his, he was going to get down with her regardless. Just like the bet connotes.
He wasn’t just going to settle for the wrath of rejection and humiliation, he was going to get down with her. The bet is on.
Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into a month. A month of meticulous observation and tedious reliance on what is to come, on how he was going to commence his plan. Reid needed all he could to fulfil the bet. There was no affection left within him for her. So, he thought and believes.
He woke up feeling restless like every other morning which makes this morning no exception to what has become a habitual thing.
He reluctantly stood from his bed, yawning profusely before walking to the bathroom. He wasn’t having a good day and the least he wanted to do was to go to work.
He had been at work throughout the past months and after he got rejected again, the atmosphere between him and Maria had been beyond awkward at work. It was usually mere greetings or just literal bypass without a single word to each other.
He wasn’t prepared to face such atmosphere at the moment. He had rather stay back at home without going anywhere while she stays at work to see everything through there.
Even though, he still couldn’t wrap his head around any reason whatsoever for the consistent refusal, he was done facing it.
He walked back to his bed, sinking on it as though he could break it and when he turned to sleep with his back, staring up at nothing in particular, his phone rang, causing him to hiss loudly before sighing.
He took his phone and immediately sat up at the view of the caller who was calling.
His dad. There had never been a reason for him to call, even on days when he was sick and now, receiving his call seem like a curse.
He picked the call on the last ring. He cleared his throat before speaking.
“Hello, dad,”
“You’d rather have me dead than have this whole inheritance as yours?” his dad went straight to the point, which was not a good sign.
“Are you sick?”
“I have to be sick to have you do as I wish?”
“No, dad. You know that’s not what I meant. Tell me, what do you wish?” he asked him even though he knew what it was.
“Get married!” his father replied harshly.
“You know it’s not that easy,” he replied when his mind flashed back to how he had been rejected.
“What do you mean by it’s not that easy? You are a wealthy young man. You in fact got your good looks from me. So tell me, what’s not so easy about that?”
“I got my good looks from mum, dad and I got my height from you,”
“That’s not my point, young man!” his dad yelled and he smiled.
“I’ll get married, dad. I’ll do your…” he stopped in his words when he heard the doorbell ring.
“I’ve got to go, dad,” he said.
“Do as I please, Reid. I’ve got no much time to…” Reid ended the call instantly when he heard Maria’s voice call him.
He walked slowly to the door, not rushing things as he opened it. He was greeted by a scared Maria who looked like she had just seen a ghost.
Reid’s arrogant look was immediately replaced by a worried and pitiful expression across his face.
“Maria,” he said, dripping his hand that was holding the doorknob. “What’s wrong, Maria?” he asked.
“A spider. A fucking spider jumped on me from nowhere. We aren’t even in Australia!” she trembled as she spoke.
Reid wasn’t certain of what to say as he looked at her. He remembered the last time he had helped her kill one ended in a disastrous way and now, just as though it was a trap, she was still dressed in her nightwear that was on its own a disastrous wear which was turning him on already.
It’s a damn see-through night wear that he could see her nipple. She was plainly naked under the wear. He scanned through her body without saying a word to her when she took his hand and dragged him off to her place.
“Damn!” he thought as he looked down at her butt that was as well seen without panties on. The way it effortlessly and succulently jiggled under her night wear and the fact that he could see them made him want to grab them so bad.
“Was she doing this intentionally? It has to be intention. How could she come over to a man’s place naked!” he thought.
“It was right here,” she said as they walked to bathroom. “It was right there in the shower,”
Reid looked at her before looking away to searched all over for the spider but he saw nothing. He was starting to think it was an intentional thing to lure him and he was down for it. It would serve as an enhancement for the bet.
Maria searched everywhere as well and when she searched in front of the mirror, she gasped at her reflection. She was naked! She had just hurried out of the bathroom out of fear and had no chance to check herself or change into something else.
“Fuck!” she said to herself as she thought of going back to her room to change but she said it a little loud enough for Reid to hear her.
“Where? Have you seen it?” Reid rushed over to her side and in the process, he slipped and accidentally pulled her, causing both of them to fall on their butt.
They lay there without a word before Maria began to laugh uncontrollably. Not because anything was funny, but because it kept happening, disaster upon disaster!
Reid turned his head, looking over at her and he shook his head before standing. He stretched his hand forward to pull her up and she gave in to it.
As he pulled her up, she fell into his embrace, causing her head to rest on his chest.
He looked down at her and she looked up at him. They both were consumed in their stares. They were both engrossed by the inner beauty they hadn’t noticed before. They were fascinated by their eyes and none of them was willing to look away.
Her chest was pressed against his chest and as he felt the softness of what he had admired from afar which was nearer to him now, he was more than aroused. He was meticulous enough to make sure she doesn’t feel his boner.
He didn’t let go of her, and neither did she. He held unto her waist like his life depended on it.
Slowly, he moved his head closer to her face. He was being extra mindful so as not to provoke her. The least thing he wanted was another rejection coupled with a slap.
His lips were a slight inch apart from her face and he stopped, waiting for a reaction from her but he got none which made him finally crash his lips on her.
“Fuck!” he moaned against her tender lips.
He withdrew his hands from her waist and held her face in his palm like he couldn’t get enough of her.
They kissed passionately and Maria who was so down for anything that was to come slid her tongue into his parted mouth and simultaneously, she walked her hand into his pants causing him to shiver as her hand held his cock.
“Fuck!” he moaned into her lips again.
While they were still engrossed in the kiss, Maria stroked his cock slowly, earning another moan from him again.
“Maria,” he called into her mouth and as such, he moved his hands to her butt, squeezing it so dearly, feeling how soft they were.
They kissed so intensely and so was the atmosphere between them. It was reaching the climax.
Reid picked her up from the ground like a weightless load and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he walked them towards her room.
It was getting hot and more passionate between them as the time passes.
He dropped her gently on the bed and without forethought, she took off the nightwear that was the only clothing between her skin and his touch.
She was so down for him.
