Chapter 45—Her Kisses
Eve and Elvin didn’t need to watch the limousine leave. Together, they walked to Elvin’s home. He unlocked the door, and they got in. Elvin was gentle. He probably wanted to make this evening special, and make sure whatever happened was solely because Eve wanted it to.
But well, she read through that. She looked at him with lust, and she hoped he understood. How was a lady like her to control a man like Elvin when she hadn’t broken him? Her mind raised to ask another question when Elvin proved her wrong and kissed her. It froze her mind, and she returned his kiss.
He had her with her back against the wall, and with the urgency in his touch on her gown, she knew if she let him have his way, he would have ripped off all layers of her clothing.
They broke the kiss, breathing hard, staring into each other’s eyes, and discovering something they hadn’t early. All these were beyond games, and deceit.
“The evening you met me, what did you think of it?” Eve asked.
“I thought it would be a one-night stand,” Elvin said. “To me, we were drunk, or I thought we desired each other, or something. I couldn’t tell, but I was attracted to you, and I believed you were just too pretty for me.”
Eve smiled. “I believe part of this would be the honest part of the game.”
Elvin arched a brow. “I didn’t know we were still playing. What about you? Was it a bad decision to you?”
“It was the best decision I ever made. And if it was a mistake, it is one I would be so happy to make again.”
Elvin pushed back a laugh. “Thanks. This is beautiful. I finally gave you that day.”
“Yes. Yes, you did. And we are not just best friends now. Now, we are officially dating.”
Elvin leaned forward to kiss her. “Yes, we are. And thank you. Without you, it wouldn’t have been possible in any way. You make me feel more than I am. Not in a prideful way. But more like, there’s more to me and all.”
“Of course, there is more to you,” Eve said. “And never let anyone make you think otherwise. You are a gem, Elvin. You are a star. I love you. And I think you’ve known that for a time now. It’s just been raw conflict for me.”
“Yes, I’ve known.”
“And you can fuck too. And make love. You’re terrific.”
“As are you.”
“I don’t want to share you with anyone.”
“You won’t have to. I promise.”
Their lips fused together into a wonderful, and passionate kiss, that it stalled the moment, breathing life into something they both were scared to stir, making it run wild with hope. For a moment, their dreams merged and became one, if hope was naturally to be blind, now it could see.
The strokes of passion they took to remove their clothes were made slow, deliberately, and with want for each other. Other times, it was just games, but now, they could really see through each other. They mirrored themselves and they were perfect for each other.
Eve saw a man she wanted to grow old with. No. A man she wanted to be a child with. Out there to her family, maybe the power couples, but here, behind closed doors, they were to be kids even till the kids arrived. She wanted him just as much as he wanted her. She could see through the lies they both concealed, and she knew that there was no need to say the truth anymore for it was all going to be better.
Down to their undies, Eve didn’t need to look down to know that Elvin’s sex was pointing hard at the warmth between her legs. She too felt herself get wet for him, and at this moment, she wished it would last a lifetime.
She wanted to dream, to feel, to conquer more worlds, and let this man know that she could do anything for him.
This was more than a game. For now, this was reality.
Eve walked past him and extended a hand behind her. Now was the final test. If he took it, he was forever hers, and nothing would ever pull them apart. Nothing. Not what he knew, or thought he knew about her.
He didn’t relent or give her a cause to wonder. He took her hand, and she led him to the bedroom. They both held their hearts now. They both were truly vulnerable.
Eve had always prided herself on sometimes being the one closed off to this, but now, she knew that she was laid bare, and if Elvin decided to get on with her through this night and any other night, then whatever this was, she wasn’t to fight, or try to control it like she had in her past.
Because she believed what wasn’t controlled was bound to be doomed. But love was a different kind of monster. If you tried to control it, you may lose it, or have yourself tied down, for love couldn’t be trapped. Those who thought they had it didn’t understand it. And those without it were the sorriest creatures on the planet.
If looking back to how it had all started, there was no idle chance that she would have let this ruin her. But here she was, totally exposed, hoping not to be shot. The cruelty of love. Now, she felt truly naked and at the same time, she felt the pleasures of Eden.
She was the first woman again. Powerful, and ready to make everything right.
Eve turned to back the bed, and Elvin began placing kisses all over her body. She was alive, and this she didn’t want to be rushed. Eve sent a hand between Elvin’s legs, and she began to touch him through that thin layer of his fabric, and she knew he desired more of her touch.
