Chapter 28 THE UGLY REALITY.
28.
~RAFAEL~
We kissed, we fucking kissed and it's the best decision I've ever made this year. Locking lips with Kimberly Sloane, a very surreal dream that feels like it never happened but the impact didn't sheer away from my lips and every pores of my skin.
She looked so flushed around me, as if it was her first time and I fucking loved it, I loved that she loved it when I kissed her and God knows I'm not ready to stop at that, even if she's not yet ready for me, I will make her. I still remember how her boob felt against my palm, so squeezable, soft and lush.
I don't care if the marriage is fake or not, as long as I get to have whatever I want in it, the authenticity doesn't really matter.
"What? Bee stung you?" Rowan jokes, entering the office, the fucker caught me touching my lips.
"Fuck off." I groan, sinking back into my chair while he sits across from me.
"Did something happen after I left? You messed up?"
"Why did you always assume that I'm the one that messes things up? It could be her." I shrugged.
"How did you sleep in the same house with her and managed to keep things platonic?"
I eye him for a moment, contemplating on letting him know about how I find Kimberly attractive.
"I sleep like a normal human being, dude, not everyone is as horny as you." Rolling my eyes, I start to flip through the papers anxiously, hoping he let me be but he's a persistent son of a bitch.
"You're so full of shit." He laughs mockingly, rolling his eyes back.
"How the hell am I supposed to sleep with a woman who called me her housemate? What the fuck." I curse, suddenly feeling more angry about the whole damn arrangement.
"You're not showing your intentions with her, how the hell is she supposed to know what's going through your head? That girl is literally walking on thin ice around you."
"You expect me to tell her that I want to sleep with her?"
"Do you?" Rowan throw back at me immediately, I shut my eyes tightly, deciding not to give him that answer.
It feels so wrong talking about sleeping with Kimberly with my friend, kind of feels like I'm disrespecting her.
Knowing that I won't give him an answer, Rowan picked the documents he came for and walked out of the office.
Throughout the day,I was totally swamped with work and my fingers ached like crazy, by the time i raised my head up from the monitor,it was already six.
Kimberly should be here already. Sighing, I pick up the phone to call Daryl but the creaking of the door beats me to it, Wendy sticks her head inside the small space and grin at me knowingly.
"Your wife is here." She mouths, opening the door wider,the image of a flushed Kim appears beside her, I dismiss Wendy immediately, suddenly feeling the urge to pull her to myself and kiss her the way I did in the morning but her dampened mood kind of killed the vibe, she's still in the outfit she wore in the morning but her hair is already rolled into a large rough bun, her eyes twinkles uncomfortably.
"Hey, I'm sorry I came late, I was busy with school work and...it was just kind of crazy and..."
"Are you okay?" I cut her off calmly, sitting at the edge of the large oak table in the office, Kimberly drags her legs closer to me hesitantly.
She heaves slightly and her face reddens a bit. "I saw Jimmy today, the cop I told you about."
A familiar sharp sensation slithers through my chest and it produces a dull ache, my mouth twists a bit, I know Jimmy too well and we didn't have a good history together, he accused me of covering up Kim's crimes and resigned out of spite, he's been out of reach ever since, he's not a weird guy associated with a particular enemy of mine, he just have lots of principles that doesn't align with mine.
"I promised to protect you from him."
"He didn't say anything out of the ordinary, he just told me he left the job and decided to further his education but I'm..." A sob creaks out of her and her lips crumple in tears.
Fuck. I should have done a better job guarding this woman.
"Hey." I mumble, dragging her closer to me."I won't let him hurt you or do anything funny, if you want, I can transfer you to another school..."
She shakes her head immediately and sniffles."No, I refuse to run away from him, and I won't act funny around him."
My hand continues to rub down her arms soothingly and nods in agreement. There's no use of running away from someone as flimsy as Jimmy, I should bring my men together and send him a signal once more.
"Thank you,I..."
"It's all good, housemates can go to this length for each other, Right?"
Her body tenses in my hands immediately and u regret saying those words. Shit. I shouldn't have said that.
"Rafael,about this morning..."She swallows anxiously,I lock my gaze with her.
I watch the swell of her boobs rise in the shirt she's putting on, her eyes darts around nervously.
"I was just trying to practice with you, you can't be flinching around me in public. Just like you're doing now." I collect the words from her mouth, scared that she will call it a mistake and tell me to forget it, I don't think I'm ready for that.
"You can't be touching my boobs in public." She splutters and I resist the urge to laugh so she won't shy away from my presence.
"I will do anything that won't make anyone suspect us
" My voice comes out a bit husky than I anticipated.
In one unexpected move,I take Kim's mouth in mine again, stealing and sucking air from her.
She croons softly in my arms,moulding her body closer to me as she tugs on my collar, kissing me back ravenously.
God,she feels so good, tastes so good and smells like heaven, Wendy definitely chose the right scents for her, despite the fact that Kimberly is already as close to me as possible,it still isn't enough and the reality of it scares me, the reality of wanting to be around this forbidden woman and allow her soothe this aching need for her in me and lastly, the reality of how wrong this is, the idea of me and Kimberly.
Happy new month guyssssss!
