Chapter 4
Avery
My eyes shut as my lips hovered over his cherry-tasted lips. He didn't move but I could feel his jaw tightened as embarrassment washed over me. What was wrong with you, Avery?
I knew I wasn't supposed to do this but I couldn't help but feel this unusual pull to him. The way he gazed at me, his touch that had sent my mind into wild imaginations, were both abominable and torturous for a virgin.
Even right now, standing close to him made my senses messy and the only thought in my mind was to be in this man's arms. Roman didn't kiss me back which made me wish the ground would open up and swallow me as I couldn't help the flutter that gripped my heart.
I pulled away from him, my eyes opening slightly as they met his intense gaze.
"I...I'm sorry, I didn't know what came over me," I said, hurriedly, my face heating as I turned my back to him.
I was about to walk away when I felt a pull on my arm, making me turn back to him swiftly and crash into his shirtless body. A gasp escaped my lips as my heart beat so fast that I could hear it pound. I tried to breathe but the feel of his hand as they fell to my sides sent shivers down my spine.
My legs almost gave way as his hand tilted my jaw, bringing my gaze to meet his. He cupped my face, then brought his lips down, capturing my lip, earning a breathless gasp from me.
His strong warm hands held my head in place as his lips claimed mine again slowly as if asking for my permission. I arched into him in response, parting my lips slightly as he deepened the kiss, his hand dropping to my waist while his other hand settled on my neck.
His tongue slipped past my teeth, thrusting into my mouth, making my hand press against his defined and muscular abs like I would regret it if I didn't feel him beneath my hand. Heat pooled low in my stomach, sharp, unfamiliar and intense, setting my cunt on fire.
The feeling was foreign but sweet yet dangerous. But I cared less at the moment.
Roman's grip tightened around me as he increased the pace, kissing every corner of my lips hungrily, his breath rough over mine. A moan slipped out of my lips as his hands moved slowly to my backside, giving it a slight squeeze and this time, I tilted into him, so that he could see how much I wanted him to go beyond just kissing.
He nipped my upper lip softly, slowly measured in a way that spoke of experience. His lips slowly disengaged. Our breath hitched as if we were trying to steady it.
His thumb brushed my lips as he tilted his head against mine, his enraged breath fanning my face. "We shouldn't be doing this?" he said, his voice low and strained, as if saying it out loud was the only thing keeping him from losing control.
My eyes flickered, "Why?" I asked, swallowing hard, my fingers curling at my side as if bracing myself for an answer I wasn't ready to hear.
"You are not in my league. I'm more older. If not anything, I shouldn't be taking advantage of you, no matter how much you or I want it, " he said, his tongue sweeping swiftly over his lips as if the words needed steadying, his gaze tightening with restraint.
My throat went dry. He was right, he was old enough to be my father, I shouldn't be having weird feelings for him, not when I got dumped earlier today.
I stepped away from him, the tension in the air lightening a bit but my heart didn't stop beating rapidly from the kiss we shared.
Silence fell between us as the awkwardness became tangible. My cheeks were still flushed, "Goodnight," I said, hurriedly, heading towards the guest room.
"Goodnight," he replied but I didn't wait to acknowledge it.
Shiver broke through my body as Roman's fingers drew circles on my thigh then slowly he traced his hands to my heated area. My cunt soaked with wetness as his fingers finally reached my heated spot.
He pushed my pants aside, letting his warm fingertip tease my clit slowly, making my hip arched against his hand so that he could fuck me already. My chest rose and fell as he finally slipped a finger into my tight cunt.
My lips parted slightly as he adjusted himself over me, thrusting his finger in and out of me with precision, making me break into moans. "Ah...Roman."
The shrill ring of my phone cut through the moment from a distance. I opened my eyes slowly adjusting to the ray of light that seeped in through the window. I was about to reach for my phone when I felt something warm drip down my thighs, the smell of arousal filling the air.
I face-palmed myself in embarrassment as I recalled how I had unconsciously fantasized about Roman which led me to dream about him.
I got dressed quickly, not wanting to waste time so that I wouldn't have to face Roman because it would be so awkward and I needed to avoid that. Moreover I needed to find how I would get another job because I couldn't afford to be jobless for a very long time. Instead of heading to my almost due rented apartment, I headed to Ava's apartment. She was the only one that could help me right now.
Ava didn't hesitate to open her door as soon as I called to let her know that I was at the door.
"Hey babe," she cooed, taking me by the hand as she ushered me into her modest apartment.
My eyes pooled and I couldn't help but cry my eyes out, "I love him so much," I cried, the words tearing out of my chest.
Ava shifted closer, drawing me into her embrace, "It's okay, babe. That jerk doesn't deserve your tears,"
Ava kept patting me on my shoulders until I let everything out. When my eyes were tired of crying, I sniffled quietly, "Ava, there's a more daring issue."
Ava's brows knitted together, "What's wrong?"
Ava sympathized with me as I explained everything that had happened in the past two days. She was most shocked when I told her about almost being assaulted by some thugs and how Roman had come to my rescue, and what happened between us.
"Wait a minute did you say, you kissed Cole's uncle?" she asked, her eyes widening.
"It was a mistake, " I muttered. "Even though it happened more than once," I said,
A small smirk appeared on Ava's face, making me wonder what was making her smile like that. "What?" I asked.
"Well...I think kissing his uncle isn't a bad one. And I think Roman seemed to have something on you." She said, arching a brow teasingly.
My brows furrowed slightly, "What are you trying to say, Ava?"
"Jeez Avery, you have always been about waiting till marriage, even your ex-boyfriend didn't get to kiss you all through your relationship but his uncle just came into the picture and kissed you repeatedly in the space of two days?" she said, a knowing smirk tugging at her lips.
I facepalmed myself as I felt my chest heat up.
"You don't have to feel awful. Just think about the positive side of this," she advised. "Have you thought about getting back at Cole by making his uncle fall for you?"
"Ava!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening at her audacious words.
"Think about it, you wouldn't just pay him back by being his aunt-in-law, but also you wouldn't lack money and be able to clear your brother's hospital fees," she said, gently as though laying out an undeniable truth.
I shook my head, "No,I can't do that. I would find my way out of this. I can't do that," I said, firmly. "I just have to get a job as soon as possible."
"Okay then," Ava said.
My phone rang, cutting through the air, I pulled out my phone from my pocket. The caller ID was unknown but I decided to answer it nevertheless.
"Hello," I said.
"Avery," the voice that I wasn't expecting to hear sounded through my phone speaker.
I pulled the phone away from my ear, facing Ava who looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Talk of the devil." I muttered.
