Chapter 31 Episode Thirty One

Diana

The rest of the day dragged on forever. I couldn't focus in any of my classes as my mind kept wandering back to Calum's words and the way he had looked at me in his office

Wear something nice. Or better yet. Don't wear anything at all

Every time I thought about it my face burned and my stomach flipped with nerves and shameless anticipation

By the time I got back to the mansion that evening I was a bundle of energy. I did my chores on autopilot while trying not to think about what was going to happen later

Madelyn kept giving me looks but she didn't say anything. Thank goddess for that

I served dinner in the dining room where Calum sat reading a book. He didn't look up when I set his plate down but the moment I turned to leave his voice stopped me

"Diana"

I turned back "Yes sir?"

"Come here" he ordered

My heart began to race as I walked over to stand beside his chair

He reached out and his fingers brushed against my wrist. Just a light touch but it sent electricity through my whole body

Then they moved from my wrist to my thighs, even tho the fabric was a barrier to direct contact, my stomach still clenched

His eyes roamed lazily around my body till they reached my eyes and he smiled

But it wasn't a sweet smile, it was naughty smile, one that promised a lot of things

"Don't make me wait, tonight” he drawled, his thumb tracing circles on the fabric

My face burned hot and I immediately tried to hide it with my hair, then in a croaked voice, I said

"I won't"

His eyes met mine and the heat in them made my knees weak "Good girl"

He let go of my thighs and went back to his book like nothing had happened. But it still tingled from where he had touched me

I finished my duties as quickly as possible. Then I went upstairs and stood in my room trying to calm down

I took a long shower and tried to steady my breathing. My hands shook as I dried off and looked through my closet

I didn't have anything sexy or special. Just simple things

Damn! My life was boring

I thought of going out to get something before nightfall, but I didn't even have any money

After much rummaging, I finally settled on a white nightgown I had worn before, it wasn't that bad

At least It was soft and fell to mid thigh

it was the nicest thing I owned,

I brushed my hair until it fell in soft waves around my shoulders. Then I waited

The minutes ticked by so slowly. I sat on my bed and listened to the sounds of the mansion settling for the night. Madelyn's footsteps going to her room. Doors closing and then…Silence

When the clock showed midnight I stood up. My whole body was trembling but it wasn't from fear. It was something else entirely

Something that I was too shy to name

I opened my door and stepped into the hallway. The walk to Calum's room felt both too long and too short at the same time

When I reached his door I paused. My hand hovered over the handle. I could still turn back. I could go back to my room and pretend none of this was happening

But I didn't want to turn back

I opened the door and stepped inside without knocking

He was standing by the window, hands in pocket, looking out at the darkness. He had changed into just sweatpants. His chest was bare and I could see the muscles of his back

He turned when he heard me enter. His eyes moved over me slowly, dark hunger flashed in them, one that caused a cold shiver down my spine

"Lock the door" I sucked in a silent breath at that

I did as he said. My fingers fumbled with the lock but I managed it, the click sounding like a finality of my fate in his hands

When I turned back he was walking toward me in slow measured steps

He stopped right in front of me. Close enough that I could feel the heat radiating from his body

"You came," he said softly, brushing a few strands of my hair backwards

A timid smile appeared on my face and I shrugged lightly

"You asked me to" he chuckled at that

His hand came up to cup my face "You're shaking" I wished the ground would crack open and swallow me

"I'm nervous" I admitted

"Don't be" His thumb brushed across my cheek as his eyes raked across my body really slowly "I'll take care of you" he whispered

Before I can muster a response, I felt a soft plushness on my lips

It started gentle, his lips moving softly against mine. But it quickly deepened. His hand slid into my hair and gripped as he tilted my head back

I melted into him. My hands came up to rest on his bare chest and I could feel his heart pounding just as hard as mine

He walked me backwards until my back hit the wall, then his rock hard body pressed against mine

Making sure I felt every pane of him

"I've been thinking about this all day," he murmured against my lips "About having you here and touching you every where"

His mouth moved to my neck, his hands moving to my thighs

Kissing and sucking and biting gently. I gasped, my fingers diging into his shoulders

"You smell so good," he murmured

Then he gripped my thighs and lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist instinctively and he carried me to the bed

I raked my fingers through his hair, pushing my tongue into his

A groan escaped his lungs, followed by a throaty chuckle

“Impatient are we?” He laughed again

My cheeks turned immediately pink

He shook his head and laid me down gently, then stood back

His eyes roamed over me with an intensity that made me feel both exposed and desired

"So beautiful," he said

And the next second, his fingers were at the hem of my nightgown

The feeling of his fingers grazing my skin sent goosebumps all over my body and I
gasped sharply

Immediately, he stopped

"Can I?" I made a quick mental note to be sure I wanted to move forward

Then I nodded
