Chapter 53 He found me
LISA
"You seriously need to be arrested for the way you've actually managed to wrap yourself in all those baggies and keep your body away from us like this."
That was Tana's way of hyping me up and telling me I look hot and pretty in my long body con red gown that stuck to my body like a second skin. Even I knew and was certain that I was attractive and my gown was dangerous and provocative.
Dangerous and provocative.
I looked at myself in the mirror, looked at how low my cleavage ran and how sinfully hot I looked in this excuse of a gown.
I couldn't wait to see Axel's reactions to my gown.
I paused at the sudden thought in my brain. I wasn't dressing up for Axel. Why would I even dress up for him? I've managed not to think about him since the last time we were together after he dragged me off to his house after he cornered me for avoiding him all week long and he had made heavy on his promise of requiring more space to carry out the wicked things he wanted to do to my body as he made me orgasm the whole of four times that evening.
Against his sitting room door because he could barely handle not being inside me a second longer than, twice on his bed, in his bathroom where he had snuck up to meet me when I was supposed to be cleaning up.
We were threading on a very dangerous and lethal path. We were incurring wrath and danger and we were so close to reaching a breaking point one of us should be sensible enough to cut this whole arrangement off but we were both stupid enough to keep at it.
It was just sex, just physical intimacy and I was sure there were lots of males out there that were as good as Axel in bed or even much more better but why then for the life of me, couldn't I bear the thought of canceling the deal with Axel and then, missing out on all the jokes he makes during sex, the innuendos and all.
I couldn't just bear to imagine not having sex with Axel because, to me, it was unfathomable.
But I needed to start coming to terms with it, I needed to get my priorities right and do the needful. I had thought that by jumping into this arrangement with Axel, I'd be able to fuck him out of my system and that I'd eventually get tired of him but the more I slept with Axel, the more I realized that that was impossible, that there was no getting out of my obsession with his body and skills. And even though it was maddening and sickening but then, I was only getting more and more obsessed, and walking away from Axel was becoming a more difficult task.
I'd have loved to indulge in these feelings more. If only we were people other than who we are, if we weren't Axel Ivanov and Lisa Volkov, then we could have explored the physical attraction between us all the way we wanted.
But sadly, we were exactly who we are and we had to put a stop to this madness.
Angel was on my case now. She was suspecting something and knowing Angel the way I do, she won't stop snooping around until she gets what she wants and when she does, I could only imagine what she was going to do with the concrete evidence.
She was going to break me, I was sure of that and because there was no way in hell I'd allow Angel to break me and walk all over me, I knew I had to do the needful.
I was going to do the needful.
A couple of minutes later, almost an hour later, I was inside the venue of the dinner with a couple of other girls. We were all masked up. That was the plan. We all wore masks to hide our faces and our dates would come in and try to pick us out of the multitude of girls.
That was the fun part though I seriously doubted if Axel would be able to pick me out. He had asked for the color of my gown but still, I wasn't sure he was going to pick me out.
The guys started to enter and I held my breath, giddiness, and nervousness washing over me. I felt like a teenager on her first date and it made me feel stupid. This was Axel and it was just a hangout, it's no big deal at all.
There were squeals and exaggerated girlish laughter and chuckles as the guys successfully started picking out their dates. There was ridiculously loud laughter too from the guys that picked out the wrong girls.
I held my breath when I saw Axel Ivanov walk in, oozing charisma and confidence with his every step. He stopped for a while at the entrance of the well-decorated hall and his eyes roamed the hall before they settled on me and just like that, goosebumps broke out on my skin.
He couldn't possibly have singled me out like that, right? It couldn't be that simple.
But he seemed like he had because he started walking towards me, he didn't even blink in another direction, didn't even look at any other girl as he closed the distance between us with his signature smirk on his face.
"Red," he whispered and without even waiting for me to confirm if he was right or not, his hand slipped behind me, pulling me closer to the hard planes of his body as his hang found my spine and he started trailing a finger over it.
"How did you know I'm the one?" I asked, my voice sounding like a croak and so unlike mine.
"You underestimate me, Red," he fished his mask out of his pocket and he fixed it on his face, "I'll always find you."
