Chapter 27 Moan for Me.
Adrian
I entered my depressing house, that place that resembles me more than I want to admit. Alcohol bottles were scattered across the floor, papers thrown over the old black table, and the smell of cigarettes trapped inside the walls suffocated my chest as usual.
Why is my life like this?
Why am I not like Marcus?
Marcus has a mother waiting for him every morning... did you see how she loves him? The way she looks at him as if he is the most important thing in all of New York?
And you, Adrian...
Your mother does not even know whether you are alive or dead.
Even so... I still hope she is okay.
A bitter sigh escaped me before I slowly climbed the stairs and entered the bathroom. Hot water poured over my body while thoughts of Evelyn refused to leave my mind. Her laughter in the kitchen this morning, that sudden hug, her tears while apologizing to me...
She seems so sensitive... and that kills me.
Once I finished showering, I pulled on a white shirt and black ripped pants torn at the knees, then placed my usual necklace around my neck. That necklace is not just an accessory... it is the only thing left to me from someone who once mattered greatly in my life.
My bag and phone were already in my hand before I paused for a moment.
Am I actually excited to eat breakfast with them?
A faint mocking laugh escaped me. I have not eaten a real breakfast in years, and even cigarettes... I have not smoked a single one since yesterday.
Maybe I really am changing for the better.
Or maybe I am just getting more lost.
After deciding to clean the house once I returned from university, I left and knocked on Evelyn’s door.
Marcus opened it!
“Man, did you seriously leave with wet hair? You are going to get sick like that.”
A careless shrug rolled off my shoulders before I stepped inside. Evelyn sat at the table eating, but the moment she saw me, a smile appeared on her face... then gradually faded as if something suddenly worried her.
Fast steps carried her toward me.
“Adrian, you are seriously so careless with yourself. Why did you leave your hair wet like this? This is not good... Marcus, take Adrian to my room, you will find the hair dryer there. Make him dry his hair immediately before he gets sick.”
Worry was painfully obvious in her voice, enough to make something warm move inside my chest.
Marcus stayed busy photographing the pancakes he was making so he could post them on his Instagram account.
“Mom, you take him. I am cooking here, do you want everything to burn?”
Evelyn rolled her eyes tiredly.
“We apologize, chef. Fine... come with me, Adrian.”
My gaze lingered on her for a moment before a sigh left me.
“There is no need for that, it will dry on its own.”
A firm look immediately crossed her face.
“We do not want you getting sick. Come... and no arguing.”
Eventually I gave in and followed her upstairs.
She climbed the stairs ahead of me slowly, her hair moving across her back in a way that instantly dragged my thoughts somewhere dangerous.
Why am I staring at her ass?
Get yourself together, Adrian... Marcus is downstairs.
But my body was not listening to me at all.
She entered her room first, and I stepped in right after her. Her perfume alone nearly destroyed the last bit of sanity I still had.
My eyes drifted toward her waist...
Oh! I lost control.
I pushed her against the wall and trapped her beneath my body, burying my face in her hair while breathing heavily as though I was completely intoxicated.
Shock filled her expression when she turned toward me.
“Adrian... what are you doing?”
Her breathing had become uneven too, her chest rising and falling in a way that pulled me even closer.
“Are you seriously trying to make me lose my mind, Evelyn?”
My hand settled on her waist, and I felt the shiver that ran through her entire body. A smile slipped onto my lips despite myself... because she was affected by me, and I knew that very well.
“Marcus is downstairs... I do not want him seeing us like this.”
My eyes locked directly onto hers.
“Did you think about what I said? What is your answer?”
Both my hands moved across her face with dangerously gentle touches.
And the way I touched her...
It weakened her more every single time.
That alone was enough to drive me insane.
Her entire body looked like it was burning in front of me.
“I really do not know... I am confused, Adrian. Let us talk later, please.”
My expression immediately darkened.
“Damn it.”
Violently, my fist slammed against the wall several times while I tried controlling that cursed anger inside me.
Her body flinched at once before blood appeared across my hand.
She quickly grabbed it.
“Adrian! Your hand—”
I pulled my hand away from her immediately.
“Do not touch me, okay?”
Shock crossed her face before nervous whispers left her lips.
“Adrian, understand me... you are Marcus’s friend.”
I moved close to her again.
Both my hands returned to her waist as if I was completely incapable of staying away from her.
“But I am sure Marcus wants your happiness... even if it is with me. Understand me, I want you, Evelyn... I want you badly.”
Even I could hear the dangerous honesty inside my own voice.
Her heart was pounding violently inside her chest.
Mine was no better.
“And what if Marcus finds out? I would never be able to face him.”
Long silent seconds passed while I stared at her before suddenly stepping away with painful coldness.
“Fine... I wanted to hear your answer, and I heard it.”
Distance grew between us while anger toward myself burned harder than anger toward her.
Is she playing with me? Or is she genuinely afraid?
Her hand caught mine again with that soft voice that destroys me every single time.
“I do not want to make a mistake I will regret later... please understand me.”
A weakness I had never known before filled my eyes as I looked at her.
“I do not see it as a mistake, Evelyn... to me, you are a blessing.”
Damn it...
Her gaze alone makes me ready to beg.
Again! I stepped closer and trapped her between my arms while her hands automatically rested around my waist.
Loved that far more than I should have.
“Take your time... I can wait for you until the last day of my life.”
Confusion crossed her face, yet she looked completely captivated by my words.
“I told you not to call me that...”
Careful eyes studied my features as though she was trying to understand me, while inside I was trembling like an addict deprived of his drug.
My lips moved close to her ear before I whispered:
“I know you like it... stop pretending otherwise. I know you want me.”
“I... do not.”
My hand settled against her thigh, pulling a soft gasp from her lips before her eyes immediately closed.
A wicked smile curved across my face.
“Really?”
I turned her body until her back pressed against my chest, then lightly smacked her ass, forcing a helpless moan out of her.
Closer and closer, I pressed myself against her... she could clearly feel my erection now.
“Can you feel it?”
One hand pinned both her wrists together while I dragged her tighter against me.
“Answer me.”
Difficult swallow moved through her throat.
“I can feel it...”
A smile instantly spread across my lips.
“It is standing to greet you, Evelyn... are you not planning to show it mercy?”
“Ah... Adrian, do not do this...”
Another light smack landed against her, making her bite her lips while trying to suppress her moans.
Damn it...
She was beautiful in a way that drove me insane.
I lowered her underwear slightly and slid my hand over her femininity. Her entire body trembled violently before a quiet moan escaped her lips, forcing me to cover her mouth with my hand immediately.
“Damn... you are so wet. Surrender to me, it will feel unbelievably good.”
Her head rested weakly against my shoulder while uneven breaths left her lips.
“Adrian...”
“Yes... moan for me.”
My fingers moved over her clit, making her close her legs instantly, but I slowly forced them apart again.
My teeth caught her ear while a rough whisper slipped from my lips:
“You will become mine... you will see that yourself.”
Soft moans kept leaving her while I bit her neck and touched her faster, until she slowly started losing control completely.
“Adrian... please, do not do this... please...”
But she did not want me to stop.
And both of us knew that.
Abruptly, I stopped and turned her toward me. Rapid breaths escaped her lips, her cheeks burned red, and her eyes looked completely lost.
My gaze dropped toward my wet finger before I slowly pushed it into my mouth while watching her.
“So delicious... and one day, I will taste you directly, and I will make you see that yourself, Evelyn.”
Her face instantly turned crimson while I slowly fixed her clothes back into place...
Clear wicked smile remaining on my lips.
