Chapter 42: Forty two

ERICA'S POV

I got into the car whispering mu thanks to Kyle under my breath as the door closed behind me. He had been ignoring me since we left the villa. I wondered what was running through his mind and what he seemed to be thinking so deeply about. That's if he was thinking about anything in the first place.

Kyle got into the car and told the driver to drive. The silence was intense and uncomfortable that I kept shifting in my seat, restless and not at peace with his calmness. I opened my mouth to say something and shut it again.

"How are your injuries? What did the doctor say?", I asked, finally finding the courage to speak.

My question was met with silence and I sighed, moving to the other side of the seat putting as much space between us as possible. His silent only meant that his brain was working on auto drive and it was never good, because it meant he was either thinking about my punishment or something that wouldn't be good for me.

I leaned against the window and shut my eyes, drifting off to sleep after a few minutes. A tap on my shoulder and a violent shake after that woke me up and I frowned on seeing Kyle.

Why was he standing in a moving vehicle? Don't he know how dangerous that was?

"We are home" He muttered and stepped back so I could get down from the car.

I stretched and yawned on getting out of the car. I staggered a bit and held onto the car for support aware that he was watching my every movement. Staring at the house I had come to know as home, at least untilmy thirty days was up, a small smile crossed my lips.

'Finally!' I thought and squealed as someone, i mean Kyle pulled me into his arms without warning.

"What are you doing?" I was able to ask before his lips came crashing into mine in a possessive

kiss.

Was this another punishment? I wondered and pushed against him, fighting for him to let me go.

Kyle only deepened the kiss, not giving me a chance to escape. I moaned into the kiss, unable to help myself. So Kyle took that as an opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth, taking control of the kiss.

My fear of the unknown was now gone at this point, replaced by a strong desire for him. Kyle seemed to notice the change in me and took advantage of it. He wrapped his hands around my waist pulling my body towards him, causing me to sigh at the contact.

"Kyle." I moaned, rubbing myself against him as he moaned into the kiss.

He ground his tongue against mine and I sighed, leaning all my weight on him. I rubbed against him unconsciously and he growled, sucking on my lower lips. He bit my upper lip and pulled it into his mouth earning him a moan. My lips were going to be swollen when this whole exercise was over.

There was nothing innocent about the kiss, he was eating my face out and I was a moaning mess, rubbing myself against him and wanting more of him. When I kissed him back, he froze and I started wondering if I had done something wrong.

He pulled away from me for a bit and looked at my face for a while, shocked that I had kissed him back. I bit my lip as he stared at me and he growled, affected by the action. He pulled me back into his arms, caressing my waist with his hands as he joined my lips again.

I kept moaning and purring, rubbing myself against him as we both kissed each other as if the world was ending in a minute.

When we finally pulled back, he stared at me wordlessly. He was out of breath and so was I. I was the first to look away, my cheeks pink and my lips swollen from his kisses. I caught his eyes again and shivered at the intensity of his gaze.

We both continued to stare at each other, no one pulling away at any time. I wondered what I had been thinking when I had tried to run away from Kyle . The more I tried to run away from him, the more i seemed to be pulled back towards him.

He was like a magnet and I was the piece of metal, because he kept attracting me and drawing me towards himself. Shamelessly, I kept going and drawing towards him.

I was curious to know why, even after him telling me repeatedly that he didn't want me, why

he seemed to be kissing me and touching me at every opportunity he gets. He always termed them as punishments, but wasn't that an excuse? Which man kisses and caresses a woman he doesn't have enough of feelings for?.

I reminded myself that Kyle wasn't like other men; i mean, his ways were extremely different from other men and he does things other men wouldn't do. I felt some wetness against my cheeks and realized I was crying. I laughed softly at the absurdity of it all and sniffed. Gratitude for this man filled me, and the tears rolled down faster than before.

"Why are you crying?" he asked frowning as his hands wiped my face, which only caused more tears to flow.

He sighed and pulled me closer to him using his hands to wipe my face.

"Why did you run after me in the woods? You knew it was dangerous and yet you came after me, why?"

He shrugged and I was afraid he wouldn't reply me.

"It was dangerous, you could have ended up at the bottom of that cliff all by yourself and I wouldn't have been able to help, because just like you saw, it's pretty big" His hands fell to his side again.

"One could easily get lost in there." He added.

"But you said you're not into me, so why do you keep doing all these things for me? You shouldn't go through so much trouble for a mere woman who doesn't mean anything to you.:"

I couldn't pull my eyes away from his face as he closed the distance between us and pulled me into his arms. I shivered as his breath fanned my face and my heartbeat picked in anticipation of the kiss I knew was coming.

"I saved you because the woods was dangerous. Don't read too much meaning into it." he said staring into my eyes and I nodded.

"Well thank you for saving me." I whispered just as he captured my lips again in a soft kiss, the pace slow and painful.

As I stood there in his arms under the moonlight, his lips on mine, I realized I could never escape or be away from him. I was falling hard for him and there was no coming back from it.
