Chapter 21

Scarlett

Waking up to the sunlight dancing on my face, I groaned in pain. I felt as if my head was being hammered. My throat felt dry and for a few seconds my head spinned. I laid on the bed for a few moments before I Heard a sound.

" Hmmm," I heard a deep groaning sound. I stilled as my eyes went wide. Before I could turn around to see who it was I felt a heavy pressure in my stomach. Looking down to see a hand was wrapped around my stomach.

My heart stopped and one of my hands flew up in my mouth, stopping myself from screaming. With a deep breath, I slowly turned my head only to see Luke was sleeping peacefully and for a moment I felt content before I was brutally reminded of the fact that he bought me.

Shaking my thoughts away and ignoring the ticklish feeling I tried to move out of his hold. I grabbed his hand and lifted it up before getting a few inches away from him but before I could get successful, his hand went down on my lower region before I was swiftly pulled back to his chest.

I sequel as thousands of butterflies aggressively flapping their wings in my stomach. He chuckled, by my reaction. Gosh it was the best thing to hear in the morning.

" Good morning beautiful," he said, nuzzling his nose in my hair. He was trying to fill the invisible gap between us by pulling me to him.

My heart skipped a beat when I felt his hand move slightly on my lady part. Gasping loudly, I moved away from his hold and sat up on the bed.

" wh… wha… what are you doing here?" I managed to utter.

I saw sitting up on the bed and looking at me, confusion was written all over his face.

" what?" He said finally, after looking at me for a while like I am insane or something.

" oh yeah, well," he said, when he realised what he was doing.

" You turned 18," he said.

" yeah but….

" Happy birthday, Scarlett," she said, taking me by surprise.

" Thank you," I said carefully.

We sat there awkwardly for a few moments with my thumping heart. I didn't know what I should ask him anymore. My situation is not in my favour at all.

What if he did something unholy while I was unconscious? The thought made me shudder.

" wh…. Why are you here?" I asked, finally breaking the silence between us.

" huh?" He asked, dumbfounded.

Turning around I looked at him, and immediately regretted my decision to face him. His intense bluish grey eyes bore into my soul. His hair was dishevelled and his lips were slightly parted looking devilishly handsome.

" What are you talking about?" I heard him asking but all my focus was on his Adam Apple as it bobbed as he asked me.

I shook my thoughts to clear my dirty head. And when I looked at him, I saw him smirking at me. My face burned in embarrassment for being caught.

" Why are you here?" I asked again, looking away from his intense stare.

" Why can't I be here?" He asked.

" what?" His question angered me.

" because this room is provided to me and I am supposed to live here alone," I said, lowering my voice in a mere whisper.

" you know i bought you?" He asked. I couldn't look at his face anymore as he reminded me again. Nodding at him I fidgeted with my fingers looking at the black sheet.

" words," he said, his voice demanding.

" Yes," I said.

" You didn't have to remind me of that everytime. I remember with all my being," I said softly. Back of my eyes burned, to let the tears I am holding back flow.

" Come closer," he said, his voice softened.

At this point I didn't have any choice but to obey him. So I did as I was told. Moving closer to him, I waited for his outburst.

I squealed, when he suddenly placed me on his lap lifting me like I am weightless.

My chest heaved, and my eyes wide looking at him. But there was another feeling inside of me which I haven't ever felt in my life. It is like what I read in the novel " butterflies."

" I didn't mean to remind you of any of the bad experiences you have had in your life," he said, looking into my eyes.

" I finally found you. After all this time, all these years of searching, I found you," he said. His voice was loaded with emotions and love.

" what do you…..

" shhh," he said, putting his finger on my lips.

" Let me finish," he said.

" Do you feel this?" He said, touching my bare forearms. His warm touch made me close my eyes but it wasn't just his warmth. I felt like there was some sort of electricity sparks running through my body from where he touched and it felt amazingly delicious.

" Hmmm," I hummed in response.

But it was short lived as his hand moved up from my arm to my neck. I had to bite my lips to stop myself from moaning. My eyes flew open immediately hearing a low growl and looking at him I felt as if my heart just stopped beating. His eyes were dark like a moonless night sky.

" What else do you feel?" He asked.

" no.. nothing," I said, my voice shaking.

" You mean you don't feel anything when I do this?" He asked, raising his perfect eyebrows at me while touching my neck.

My core throbbed in anticipation and my mind went to the South. Moisture pooled my panties, soaking them completely.

" liar," he said with a low growl.

The itch down there was too much for me to take. And his touch wasn't helping either.

" You don't know, for how long I've been looking for you," he said.

" Now that you are here in my room, I can be rest assured," he said with a small smile.

He went silent for a second looking at me intensely before leaning forward. His lips were just an inch apart from touching mine when there was a knock on the door.

I jumped, and moved away from him as a string of curses left his mouth.
