Chapter 40 What are we now?
Lila
“There’s no going back now, huh?” Daniel muttered under his breath but I heard him and got curious. I didn’t know what he meant and I wanted to know.
“What’s that?” I asked and I guess he didn’t mean to say that out loud, because he looked surprised that I heard him.
“I guess I have to be more in tune when I’m around you. I seem to keep saying out my thoughts. That was meant to be in my head.” He replied and I nodded.
“Or maybe you had too much fun and forgot yourself.” I teased and then finally got off of him. 
I saw his eyes and the way his hands quickly moved. He didn’t want me off yet and I expected him to stop me but he didn’t and I just got off too. I sat beside him while he remained on his back.
“That is indeed true.” He said with a smile. 
“You’ve got any question you want to ask me?” He asked and I just shook my head. 
“You’re expecting me to ask the usual what are we now question, right?” I retorted.
“We both know what we are and I don’t want us complicating things for now. I know men like you.” I simply said, leaving him to figure the rest out. 
Actually, I had that question in my mind but I wasn’t going to ask. Men like Daniel are all the same, that playboy attitude never really disappears at once. They grow out of it but it still pops out when the love is new and looks like it’s getting serious. 
I can tell Daniel is attracted to me and loves me a bit, but until I’m sure to what extent that love goes, I’m not going to push him to into demands. That’s just going to scare him away and that’s not what I want. I have to make him believe that I’m not keen about anything else other than the fun we are having. That sends him into a mode where he thinks he had to chase me, and goodness God, men love to chase. 
“What do you mean men like me?” He asked, pulling back from my thoughts.
“Did you just realize I said that or why did you take so long?” I teased.
“I actually didn’t mean in a bad way. I’m only saying this is all still new and we don’t owe each other anything other than the contract between us. The sex is good and nice, and yeah, there’s the tension between us but why do we have to stress ourselves with what and whatnots?” I said and he went mute so I gently laid back beside him.  
“I think we should just live in the moment.” I whispered in his mouth while staring in each other’s faces. 
We both went silent after that and after staring for a couple of seconds, we couldn’t resist the urge again. We jumped at each other and made love again. 
We finally pulled apart in another ten minutes, but this time, we barely lasted five minutes before we jumped back at each other. 
We finally stopped after the sixth time and that’s because we were so tired and could barely even breath. My legs were shaking really bad from all the orgasms and he was struggling to catch his breath too. 
We spent the next thirty minutes, trying to relax after which we finally decided to go home. 
He helped me up and we quietly walked back to the car. We got in and still wouldn’t say a word. He kept sneaking glances at me and I kept catching him because I was doing the same thing. After the umpteenth time, we both burst into laughter. 
There’s no denying it now, there’s definitely something going between us and at this rate, it’s going to be a huge one. Maybe that’s what he meant earlier when he said there’s no going back now.
“What is it? What are you thinking about?” He asked, finally breaking the silence between us.
“Nothing much, just indulging myself with my thoughts.” I simply said and he nodded.
“That seems unfair, I keep spilling my thoughts while you get to keep yours? Totally unfair.” He let out and I knew he was only pulling my legs but I still decided to go with the flow.
“It’s not my fault you got carried away with all the fun you were getting. You should get a grip on yourself more.” I teased and he looked at me in a hurry while I just laughed.
“Really? You know what? You’re right? I got too carried away because a week ago, you wouldn’t even dare say this to me.” He fired back and I laughed more.
“A week ago, you weren’t going crazy, trying to get inside me. If I hadn’t stopped then, you would have probably begged to move inside me.” I chimed in and he gasped. He was so dramatic about it that I couldn’t resist laughing so loud.
“Oh my goodness! You stopped me or I did. Lila you were shaking so hard and you still wouldn’t get off. You literally curled around me and begged for more. I even saw the tears of joy as they flowed down your face. You were so lost in the enjoyment. I had to apply wisdom to wean you off it or else, we’d still be there.” He let out and we both burst into laughter.
“That’s a lie!” I exclaimed amid the laugh but it wasn’t a lie.
Everything he said was the truth. I was over the moon during the last round. I was lost in it and despite my body shaking vigorously, I didn’t want him to stop. I curled myself tightly around him so the strokes can continue faster. The faster he went, the farther I was lost. 
It was so exhilarating that tears started streaming down my face and I wasn’t hurting at all. They were tears of joy and satisfaction. 
Jenna wasn’t lying when she said I don’t have a solid sex life. I’ve only been intimate a few times and I never paid attention to my own satisfaction. I never even knew that was a thing until Daniel. 
He opened my eyes to things about me and my body just didn’t know how to react to that sweetness…
