Chapter 15: Lust And Dreams

It’s too soon, Eve thought. No. It was too soon. This, she didn’t believe. This she didn’t want to believe. He couldn’t have fallen so easily. She had heard him mutter the words a few times, but she didn’t think he meant it.

This was just the lockdown experience she had all planned in her head. What happens when they are out together, or when he sees other ladies? Would his hunger for her lessen? Would work get the better of him should the lockdown be called off? Would she still hear from him again?

Come to think of it. Ever since the night he had brought her to his home, which she had found a bit impressive, although nothing close to hers, she noticed he didn’t have her number, neither did he care to ask for it. He had gone to the mall and had been confident that she wouldn’t leave.

Eve shook her head. She had made him feel too comfortable. She had to toy with him for this. “I don’t believe you,” she said.

“Why not?” Elvin asked.

“What’s my number?” she asked, arching a brow. She had called him, and he hadn’t bothered to ask her how she got his number. “Where do I live? Have we gone on a date? Or wait, you consider me to be cheap?”

“Oh, come on. We are locked in. I didn’t think up all these because we are in close quarters together. Outside, I would ask you out, buy you flowers, do everything a guy is normally supposed to do, and more. I’ll make you feel like a lady. I’m sorry for giving you that notion that you were cheap.”

His words touched the softest parts of her heart, and he was right, but so was she, and she wouldn’t give in.

“Elvin! I can’t date you,” Eve said. “I’m not saying I don’t want to. I just can’t.”

Eve had a fantasy of how things should be, and if there was one thing she was good at, it was reliving her fantasy. She wanted to make him feel the stars, and she wanted him to be her sun. She wanted the warmth and light of his love, but not this way.

“It may have come as questions to you,” Eve said. “I need you to see it and live up to it. Make do with what you have. All we do is have sex, and I’m not complaining. I want to connect with you in more ways than one. However, I can’t agree to date you just yet because I don’t know you.”

More like, he still had secrets. And yes, she knew he did. They were things she knew, but she wanted him to say them. It had been her silent test to him before he could accept her.

Eve read the look of disappointment on his face, and she frowned.

“Where does this leave us, then?” Elvin asked.

Why was this? Was he trying to be civil and act responsibly?

“Hopefully, it changes nothing,” Eve said, and seductively moved to sit at the edge of the bed. “I know there are days we may piss each other off, but I don’t intend to stay a day here without sex. You don’t have a gym, and I like to exercise. Sex provides room for that. It helps you and me burn off calories. Also, it helps both our hearts and keeps us healthy. Well, not to mention the mental benefits.”

“So you want me to live with you and act like there’s nothing between us?” Elvin asked. “No sparks. No emotion. Nothing?”

Eve looked at him. “You are smart, Elvin. Really, you’re smart. I am told that I am a lady of dreams. I don’t go after things I do not dream of, or things I don’t lust after. There has to be passion in it for me. All these things a guy does for a lady, I want that. I don’t want a straight exposure from a guy, and I don’t want him expecting it to be all rainbows at first. You don’t know me. I don’t know you. Make an effort. Want, and try to know me the way I dream of. Then, maybe, I will consider your request.”

Eve hoped he understood. Even though she could not read his expression now for it was quite bland, she hoped he understood. She saw the bulge in his trouser, and she wondered what part of her had stirred that up.

Elvin nodded. “Okay, then. I totally understand. We can still have sex, but if I want more, I have to make an effort for it?”

“Yes,” she said.

He better not ask her what’s the difference. If he dared ask that, she would definitely call off the lockdown, have him fired, leave him, and make him see and feel the difference first hand without leaving a trace that she was behind all these.

“Alright,” Elvin said. “The lockdown had still been lifted for a couple of days. I’ll head out shortly and spend the last of what I have on what I should need to make it a memorable experience for you. But first, if you’d let me, I need to satisfy this deep ache and longing for you. I need to kiss you.” He looked sideways at her. “I need to be inside you, to feel you.”

His words were like a magnetic pull to her. She found herself moving closer to her, and he too closed the distance. Their lips first met, then their bodies collided, and fused as one.

Eve opened her legs to invite him in, and when he thrust into her, she loved the way he worked his way in and out within her core. He had her writhing in pleasure, and he moved with the grace of a lover. He was probably testing her with what she had just said no to. No. She knew better. She wanted all of him.

They made love, for no matter what this was, Eve preferred it better to all others.

“I’ll be right back,” Elvin told her as he walked out of the house to get what he’d need to begin her dreams.

She in turn moved to kiss him as a girlfriend would a boyfriend, or a wife would a husband, and it was a kiss that spoke with passion.
