Chapter 6
Serenity
I hope he went this way. Hopefully, walking through these curtains won’t lead to my untimely death. I chuckled at the thought because if I died today, who would actually give a fuck? My parents died in a car accident when I was young and my aunt who raised me saw me more as a burden than a child. Maybe Mark? Whatever. I just needed to get some air. I opened the curtains and to my surprise, I saw my blue-eyed devil staring straight at me.
“Mind if I join you out here? It’s super hot back there.” I pointed back to where I came from.
Smooth, Serenity. Why was I getting nervous around this guy? I didn’t even know him. He just nodded at me and let me pass by him toward the balcony.
“Definitely thought we were a lot higher up than this. Don’t even think this would be a good place to jump if we wanted.” What the fuck was I doing? I was an idiot. He just stood there and was staring at me with a cautious look.
“I’m sorry I talk a lot. My name is Serenity.” I reached for his hand but he looked at it and I almost thought he wasn’t going to shake it. Then he did. His hands were so smooth, but rough at the same time. He grabbed my hand so firmly that all I was thinking about was him taking those same hands and doing some dirty things to me. Fuck my life. I needed to get laid.
“Theo.” Short, sweet and to the point. Maybe he was the silent type. That’s fine because then I wouldn’t have to listen to how boring his life was. We shook for probably a minute too long, but it felt so right to me. He was the one to pull away and I felt kind of sad about it.
“Are you heading back in with your mom?” I went right for it. He seemed as though he didn’t understand what I was asking until he looked toward the curtain and changed his look.
“No.” Okay, that could mean a few things. No, not going back in or no not his mom—which only leaves one thing than. His girlfriend? God, I hoped not.
“I’m sorry if I’m making you uncomfortable.” I felt that I needed to say it because this guy looked like he was about to run and run far. He looked toward the curtain then back to me once more. I think I want to make a move on this guy but he didn’t seem to be interested. I went to walk over to the curtain, but he grabbed my arm as I walked by and pulled me to him. It wasn’t gentle but it was hot. When I crashed into his chest, I felt how hard he was. Thank god, I wore these shoes because this guy was huge. He had to be over six feet tall. Without the heels, I was short as hell compared to him.
“Stay.” Oh look, another word. I just nodded because I had nothing else to say, but the way that he had me at his chest was making me want all sorts of things. He had this fresh, natural smell to him. Shit, I didn”t know that was a smell.
I could tell he was smelling me too because he closed his eyes for a second longer than normal. I think he was trying to not let me notice, but I did. He looked down at me and right to where my dress opened and my cleavage was showing. The girls were definitely on point tonight.
“See something that you like, Theo?”
When I said his name, he snapped right back up to me and just looked right into my eyes. I started to move my hands up his arms to his broad shoulders and god damn, his shoulders were ripped. When I got to his neck, I started to rub the back of his head and I saw the heat that was burning in his eyes. I started to feel his hands caress my hips and one of his hands moved to my ass and slightly squeezed, as if he was testing the waters. When I went to move up on my toes to reach that gorgeous mouth of his, he pulled back.
“Is something wrong?” I asked and stared up at him. All he did was shake his head and move back. Fuck that. I moved back in.
“Stop!” He was firm when he said it, but I could see that he was hesitant.
“Why stop? Is that your girlfriend?” Word vomit at its finest. He looked confused but then realized what I was asking. Another head shake. Damn, this guy doesn”t know how to talk, does he?
“Okay, since I’m the only one talking. If she isn’t your girlfriend, give me your phone.”
Maybe she was his aunt or something. He looked at me with those lost eyes again. Maybe I should just walk away but there was something about him that was making me want more and I was up for the challenge.
“No phone?” I asked. He gave me a head shake. This was getting really annoying.
“Give me your hand.” He froze and stared at me.
“I’m not going to hurt you, but if you get away from your lady friend later and want to have a good night, this is my number.” I took the pen from my clutch and wrote my number on his hand. He looked down at it and shut his hand. He nodded at me and went toward the curtain.
“Hey!” I yelled at the last moment. He turned and looked at me once more, and that was when I took my shot. I charged at him and forced my way up to his mouth and held tight. Please don”t push me away, was all I could think. To my surprise, he didn’t, but he did embrace me.
He took his arm and wrapped it around my waist and pulled me in. The kiss deepened and then I was pushing my tongue into his mouth and, to my surprise, he tangled his with mine. A little moan escaped me because this felt like heaven and I needed everything from this man.
I was the one to back up now, because if I didn”t I would be pushing him down now and fucking him here and would not care who saw. There was no shame in my game. His eyes were back to having that flame in them and I could tell he was surprised that he let it get as far as it did. He let go of me, but I reached up and wiped the red lipstick off his lips so there was no evidence.
“Goodnight, Theo. Hope to see you soon so we can finish this.” I motioned between him and me and he looked me up and down once more before walking off.
Once I was alone, I took in a deep breath and tried to get myself under control, because who the fuck was that guy? I had never been kissed the way he just had, and I guessed that meant I have kissed a shit ton of frogs. All I could do was smile and rub my lips. When I looked out over the balcony a few minutes later, I saw them walking out. Her arm was laced in his and she seemed pissed.
“Until next time, Theo,” I said quietly. Though I should have been the only one who could hear it, he looked up and we made eye contact once more. I blew him a kiss and then I saw him getting into a limo and driving off. Fuck me.
