Since we belonged in the same circle, receiving an invitation from a common friend couldn’t be avoided. At first, I was hesitant to accept it because I was worried that Katherine Hamilton would also be there. It’s a common friend from the University, and knowing the identity of Katherine’s father, I was convinced she was also invited.
While considering my best option, whether to attend or ignore it, I accept the invitation. Although there was a chance that Katherine would be there, there was also a possibility she wouldn’t be there. After all, she’s probably busy with Liam Salcedo.
It took me a lot of courage to prepare for the trip since Layla asked me to spend the night with them. She had not mentioned anything extravagant, and she said it’s just a simple gathering with selected people from our batch. She used to be a journalist, but she switched jobs for some unknown reasons.
When I arrived at my destination, I was informed it was a night of swimming with the girls. Since I wasn’t aware there would be swimming involved, I didn’t bring any swimwear with me, but Layla was kind enough to give me her extra swimwear.
“Just the two of us?” I asked her.
“Not really! You just arrived early,” she replied. “So, how have you been, Selena? I heard from Katherine that you have a shipping company, but of course, I didn’t believe her.”
“Why?”
“Because she’s a liar! Have you forgotten how she lied about her parents?”
“It’s in the past, Layla, and I’m sure she had no choice back then, especially when some of your friends kept on bullying her. Anyway, let’s focus on tonight’s activity. Are you sure it’s only night swimming?” I doubted Layla planned something that would surprise everyone later.
“One of our friends is getting married, so that’s why I’m setting up this gathering,” Layla replied.
“You arranged for a stripper,” I murmured, and the darn woman just smiled at me. Layla acted as if it wasn’t a big deal!
“Who’s getting married?” I inquired even if I had a hint. Was it Katherine Hamilton and Liam Salcedo?
“Later. For now, let’s enjoy the pool by ourselves,” Layla suggested, and we immediately changed into our swimwear. “Amazing,” she muttered while staring at me.
“Are you into girls?” I asked, and Layla burst into laughter. “No, seriously, are you into girls?”
“No! Of course not! How can you say such a thing when in fact, the strippers are on their way!”
“Seriously? I was kidding about the stripper! Anyway, you also look great. It’s just a shame that you couldn’t seduce that guy,” I stated after staring at her for a couple of seconds. To sum it short, she was the pinnacle of beauty, as well as innocent and seductive all at the same time!
“Oh please, stop reminding me about that loser!”
After Layla instructed her housekeeper to inform her guests about our whereabouts, we sprinted towards the pool, and I was the first person to plunge into the water. Layla followed, and we screamed in pleasure when we were both in the water.
“You should visit me sometime,” I told her.
“I think I should,” she replied, and she grinned when her housekeeper came with a bottle of liquor. “Just a bottle,” she added.
For a moment, I was worried. Layla was a heavy drinker, and she had drugs in the past. “No drugs?” I questioned her, and for a second, she was speechless!
“Oh, the drug thing, you know, it wasn’t me, Selena. It was Katherine Hamilton, and she just hid it in my bag. I explained my side before, but nobody cared to listen.”
“I’m so sorry, but are you? It’s Katherine? She looks innocent,” I said.
“On the surface, but deep inside, she was the meanest human being I had the misfortune to meet. You probably haven’t heard this one, but his fiance dumped her when she was busted about having several men at a time,” Layla continued.
As I listened to Layla speaking, I couldn’t picture Katherine Hamilton as someone vile and nasty. Although the woman appeared to be rude, I believed it was caused by a trauma during her childhood…just like mine! “Maybe she didn’t use drugs,” I said.
“I don’t know. Anyway, we shouldn’t discuss that horrible woman! We should talk about ourselves. Are you in a relationship right now?”
I was stunned at the sudden shift of the topic, and I didn’t feel like sharing something private with Layla. There was some reservation left in me, especially when she used to work in a press. What if she was fishing for information to ruin my father or me?
“Selena? Did you hear me?”
“Of course, but I just don’t know how to respond to your inquiry.’
“So, do you have a boyfriend now?”
“Nope, I am single,” I replied.
“Perfect! My cousin is looking for a wife,” she announced.
“A wife?”
“Yes, but he doesn’t have a girlfriend, so he asked me to introduce him to one of my friends,” Layla said excitedly.
“And that’s the reason why you asked me to be here,” I concluded, and when she nodded, I felt betrayed. “You tricked me into coming here,” I added, and Layla immediately asked for my forgiveness. Due to being disappointed at my friend’s action, I grabbed the bottle of tequila and gulped it.
“Hey, stop it!” Layla screamed while trying to take away the bottle. “Take it easy,” she said.
The thought of passing out before we could enjoy the remainder of the evening made me nervous, but I was so furious to give a damn about it. I was about to confront Layla for lying to me, but her housekeeper came, and the woman looked nervous. I glanced at Layla, and she mimicked the woman’s expression.
“What’s wrong?” She asked.
“They’re here.”
“Alright,” Layla said while trying to get out of the water to meet them.
When I was left alone in the pool, my gut feeling told me to get out of the water and return to the guest room allocated for my overnight stay. I was too preoccupied with my thoughts on my way back to the guest room that I failed to see someone lurking in the shadows.
When someone blocked my path, my eyes widened in fear, and for a moment, I was unable to move from where I was standing and just stared at the man with a menacing expression on his face.
“You’ve had too much to drink!” He took notice and dropped his head towards my lips, where he sniffed the air.
“Get away from me, Lee!”
“We need to talk,” he declared.
“Too late for that, darling,” I told him, but he didn’t like my recent remark and frowned at me. “Please, Lee, just leave me alone.”
I took a few steps before I turned around to check whether he had followed me, and I was pleased to see that he had not. What on earth has happened? Why did she appear in Layla’s house? Could it be that he came together with Katherine Hamilton? If that was the case, there was no reason for me to stay!
“Selena, wait!”
I was stunned when he suddenly stopped me from closing the door, and when he entered without being invited, I became speechless! I just stared at him and didn’t know what to say! His presence alone was enough to render me speechless, so how much more when he came inside my accommodation?
“We need to have a conversation.” The guy muttered something and then walked into the room without asking my permission.
My eyes most likely deceived me into thinking that he didn’t follow after all. “Then let’s discuss!”
“Who am I in your life, Selena?”
“Oh God, are you really supposed to ask me that? Please be reminded that it wasn’t me who betrayed our covenant. It wasn’t me who couldn’t commit because you chose her! Damn you, Lee! Don’t approach me again trying to play a victim when you betrayed me!” I told him to stay put, but he didn’t listen, and he then grabbed my wrist. “Don’t come near me!” Although my voice trembled a bit as I attempted to pry his hand away from me, I quickly realised it was a fruitless effort.
“Selena, please listen to me! I missed you, and I really missed you…so much!” He insisted on missing me so much, but I kept on pushing him away.
I missed him as well, but I was too afraid to confront him about his love for me, and before I could say anything, he hugged me tight and conquered my mouth in a seemingly punishing kiss! It had been much too long since I’d smelled his fragrance all over me, and I missed it.
I fought so hard to get away from him, but I was just human, and my bodily need outweighed my sense of self-importance. I did all I could, but I couldn’t resist his allure, and my legs began to shake when he pressed his lips on my neck before trapping me against the closest wall!
His lips drove me insane with need, and as he tore my swimsuit away from my body, I became giddy with anticipation at the prospect of having him again. I gave in to the temptation and embraced the reality that I was a piece of cake when dealing with Lee.
“Take me immediately,” I said urgently since both of us couldn’t stop.
“Yes, baby,” he whispered.
Every thrust went in too far, and the more he pounded me, the more I groaned with ecstasy. I was in heaven. We were both crazy while making love; he lifted me to the bed from his standing posture against the wall, and he demonstrated his power and endurance. Slowly, I forgot the hatred I used to have for him and got lost in ecstasy with him.
As I climbed on top of his body to demonstrate my strength, he furrowed his brows as if he didn’t want to accept what I told him. I was terrible at expressing myself, and in many cases, actions spoke louder than words. I kissed him on the top of his head, all the way down to his nose and into his lips.
My lips barely made contact with his, and he expected me to deepen the kiss, but I had other plans in mind. After that, I went to his neck and licked his skin all over. Because of this, he went completely insane, and I could tell by how he clutched my ass and pushed it into his erection.
Like how I licked his nipples, I lightly bit them as if they were some sort of cherry. I kissed the skin on his chest and licked it. He groaned and begged me to stop. At the very least, for a split second, I stopped torturing him with my tongue.
Gradually, my tongue went lower, kissing every inch of his flesh with delicate and feathery licks until I reached my goal: his erection! I didn’t think twice about putting him in my mouth, and he immediately reached for my hair. Although it was rough, I enjoyed it! It gave me the confidence to continue, and I used my tongue to play with his hardness, and when I looked up at him, his eyes were closed, and the veins on his neck appeared more beautiful than they had ever looked before.
I decided it was time to become one with him!
“Ohhhh…,” I murmured as we merged into a single entity. When I moved my hips around his hardness, he groaned a little. I was horny, and he was horny as well. From that moment, our bodies became one, and we couldn’t slow down in giving and providing pleasure until we reached the peak of orgasm.
After we had finished making love, I didn’t dare to take a break and instead just looked at the guy who was sleeping peacefully beside me. I had remembered all of the little features on his face, as well as all of the moles on his body. If I had the luxury of unlimited time, I would meticulously examine every strand of his hair. I waited until he was deeply asleep, and then I put back my clothes on my body and strolled towards the door.
“Are you sure about this?”
I was startled when someone spoke behind me, and when I turned around, I saw that it was Layla. She must have arranged the meeting for my benefit. “Thank you, Layla, for your effort. However, Liam and I have no future together.”
