Chapter 29 At The Zoo
Kate was in cloud nine when she was informed that he will be taking her to the zoo. She couldn’t remember the last time she visited that place and had missed seeing the Animals. He had insisted on going in the afternoon because he had a business meeting in the morning. But she got ready hours before that, all thanks to her uncontainable excitement.
Kate huffed as she glanced at the time, which was moving agonizingly slow in sharp contrast to her thrilled heart. Hours rolled by and finally, the time was up.
When Quisito’s car pulled into the drive way she bolted out of the room, almost crashing into a servant. She apologized and sped down the rest of the hallway, mindful of other people around. Once she took a sharp turn from a corner, she slammed into a 6 feet tall frowning wall.
It was him.
“I’m ready!” Kate said, darting her eyes cheerfully to the front door.
“Wait in the car; I’ll join you in a minute” he instructed in his deep voice before moving upstairs.
She bounced out of the house into the afternoon sunlight, nearly blinding herself. Shielding her eyes with a hand she walked to the car, opened the passenger seat door, got inside and made herself comfortable. She would have sat behind to create a distance between them but the windshield provided a wider view and she didn’t want to miss it.
The entire car was smelled of his rich cologne which had an addictive scent and it gave her tiny goosebumps. She didn’t want to admit it, but she liked his scent.
After a few minutes he too joined her in the car. She gasped when he reached towards her suddenly, their face inches apart.
“Safety first” he murmured while looking into her widened emerald orbs. His words made sense to her only when she heard the rustle of seatbelt beside her head. She gulped when he pulled it out, slid it across her body and clicked it in place. She let out a sigh of relief when he moved back to his seat and put on his seatbelt.
He started the car and the engine roared to life. After checking the surroundings, he drove the car out of the mansion, into a busy street. The occasional honks of the vehicles were the only sounds that filled the silence between them because he had made it clear that he didn’t want to talk. She didn’t try to push it because she didn’t want to blurt out something that might make him mad and cancel the trip because every conversation they ever had never ended quite well.
The traffic moved slower than a turtle on morphine but she didn’t complain. They could be stuck there all day and she wouldn’t even utter a word; Anything was better than the mansion.
The traffic diminished to a great extend when they entered the highway and she couldn’t stop smiling at the wide scenery stretched out in front of her.
Out of the blue, he placed a possessive hand on her clothed thigh and she jolted at the unexpected contact. Her eyes turned to him who was driving the car with a stoic expression, even as her skin beneath his hand throbbed. He wasn’t even looking at her when he let his hand slide up and down her thigh, making her aware how huge and powerful his arms were.
Her breathing sped up when his hand travelled up and up towards the waistband of her pants. She smothered a gasp when his hand slipped inside and touched her covered sex. He stroked her core through her panties and when he made no effort to stop, she grabbed his hand using both her palms to cease the assault.
“P..please.. someone w..will see” she heaved, as she frantically looked outside to the road. Vehicles sped past them and they were not in a crowded place, but if at all someone even accidentally looked inside the car, then they would get a show of their lifetime; Her thighs spread wide, with his veiny arm disappearing inside the front of her pants. The thought of the sight alone made her red with embarrassment.
She tried to jerk his hand away but he didn’t even stir. His fingers drew patterns across her intimate lips and out of instinct, she dug her nails into his arm.
“REMOVE. YOUR. HAND” he thundered and she gulped in fear.
“They’ll see...” she said softly, her chin wobbling because she was about to cry. She would rather die than let strangers see her like this. She may have been okay if it was her boyfriend, someone she loved and trusted, not someone mysterious and cold, like him.
“All the glasses are tinted so no one will see a thing and.....besides...what makes you think that I’ll let others see what’s mine..” his voice was dangerously possessive. She reluctantly unwrapped her fingers from his hand clutched both the sides of her seat as his hand drew circles right on top of her sensitive bundle, through the material.
Her hips involuntarily rose to match his strokes as she terribly failed to keep in the moans of pleasure. He drove the car smoothly with one hand but the other one worked on her womanhood, ruthlessly rubbing on her folds. She yelped when he pinched her nub and then soothed it by stroking along its edges.
Everything she saw through the windshield disappeared and all her senses were drawn to the inevitable surge of ecstasy.
The bulge in his pants was ready to explode, straightening against the black material he wore. Her panties were wet with her juices that gushed out and he desperately wanted to make a good use of it; And he would have, if they were not in public.
He was an expert in manipulating her body according to his wish. His fingers pressed on her clit and moved the nubbin up and down continuously like a stringed musical instrument and she had to dig her nails into the leather seat to remain seated.
“Ahhhhh..ahh...” her moans resounded inside the car as she shuddered with orgasm and if it wasn’t for the seatbelt, she would have definitely fallen off. The temperature inside the car was set to be cold but her body was all worked up and layered with sweat. She quicky breathed in small chunks of air through her mouth to calm down her heart that was thrashing wildly in her chest.
Quisito smirked at his accomplishment and gave her mount a small pat before retrieving his fingers to shift the gear to park the car. They covered a lot of distance but unfortunately, she missed most of the view due to his deed but she was too flushed up from the orgasm to complain about it.
She got out of the car on wobbly legs and she could still feel the throbbing in her sex when she took his hand to walk towards their destination.
Her eyes roamed around the area like a rabbit out of its burrow and a smile lit up her face when she saw the entrance to the zoo. Families along with kids stood at the counter to buy tickets but he walked them directly inside, as though he owned the place. The place was filled with chattering of the masses; Kids excitedly clapped as they saw animals in their respective enclosures, but the creatures looked as if they had something better to do other than to entertain the crowd.
Kate walked towards the cage of an Eagle, a huge one, and admired its looks by resting her arms on the side bars. Its eyes were golden yellow in color and shone with the wisdom beyond ages. Her jaw dropped when the mighty thing stretched its wings because it could easily cover her whole body.
A sudden pang of sadness pierced her heart when she kept on looking at the wings. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for it; Because she knew how it felt to be inside a cage, even though it had the right to fly. The giant wings were useless because of its situation.
Doesn’t the bird also want to join its friends in the sky?
Did it not deserve to live a free life of its own choice?
“Are going to stand there the whole day? There are like a hundred other animals to visit” Quisito’s dry voice broke the internal monologue she was having with the Eagle.
With a sad sigh she nodded back and followed him to see the rest of the animals. Kate thought that she would be happy to see the creatures at the zoo, but the opposite was happening. Every metal cage they approached transformed into an invisible noose and tightened around her heart that longed for freedom. Around her, she could see people laughing, enjoying themselves and she knew that they could go where ever they wanted to. The poor animals were trapped, even though they hadn’t done anything wrong.
“This is not right...” she sniffed while looking at a flamingo.
Just when she thought that he would ignore her like always, he asked gruffly
“What?”
“This...the cages. All of them are supposed to be free...” she pointed at a bird that flapped its wings.
“The zoo provides for them. It will keep them safe and they will also have a steady supply of food. They won’t be attacked by predators and most importantly...their health will be taken care of by doctors” he said “About the freedom...each cage comprises of everything that resembles their natural habitat.”
She meekly nodded at his words but she still couldn’t convince herself that the mammals were happy. Sure...the birds could fly inside the cage, like she ran around in the mansion, but they’ll never touch the clouds. With a heavy heart she proceeded to another display and realized that from there onwards, the replies section began.
“I have to take this; It’s an urgent call” Quisito said to her, before bringing the phone to his ear and moving to a space with less noise.
Her eyes followed him and she couldn’t help but notice how handsome he looked at that moment. His hair gleamed brown under the afternoon sun. His stubbled jaw creased with every syllable he uttered. He was speaking angrily to the person on the other end but the way every muscle in his body was molded to move was enough to bring any woman down to her knees. He was the epitome of masculinity. Even the suit he wore did no effort to hide his chiseled physique. From top to bottom, he was stunning perfection. And undeniably, he was sex-on-legs.
When he combed his thick black hair with a lazy hand and suddenly turned to look at her with those sharp blue eyes, her stomach did a backflip. He had caught her by surprise and she immediately glanced away, a blush creeping up her spine. She tried to remain casual, as if she hadn’t been staring at him like a lovesick puppy.
