Chapter 18 Overwhelmed again
“You can’t hide forever Elara.” I heard a voice, I didn’t dare turn around, there’s nothing I could say to him, I felt embarrassed and all I wanted to do is not think about the things that happened.
“I just need to be alone, when is the railing stopping, I want to me my papa.” I breathed out as his eyes met mine softly.
He walked further into the room, I have not seem him since I walked out of the place, with my shorts hanging over my knee, my breath hitches as I stared at him.
“Your papa is hosting a party tonight.”
“With the weather.” I asked.
“It’s close by, it has being arranged for months now, it can’t be cancelled, everyone is in town. And not only that, it’s not very far.” He said again.
If I am going to meet papa I need to show him that I am warming up to Adrian, I need to show him that I could care about Adrian and maybe I will fall for him.
These are the steps I have to take for him.
“Can’t he cancel, I am sure half of the person arriving are not even in the city.”
“That’s where you are wrong, they all have being here for a week now, no one waits so long to be at the city before this party.”
The party.
Why is it so important
Why can’t it be cancelled.
Fuck.
“It’s the mafia ball, the ball that happens once a year and it’s papa’s turn to host it.” I whispered so low, I have heard about it, papa always travels for it once a year and I always wanted to be a part of it I guess he would never let me until now.
“Is he aware I am coming.”
“You are a woman of your choice Elara and I need a date for tonight, if I were you, I would think of ways you will give me your first kiss.”
“It’s not-“ I was about saying when my face heated with redness and he looked away from me.
——
My first kiss, it has to be tonight but it’s for papa, I have to do this for him.
I took a warm shower and by the time I got out, I found a seed on my bed, it was a royal blue dress, there is no note beside it.
I glanced at it softly before my towel dropped to the ground, and in that moment, the door cracked open, before I could react, I knew he is already in and my breath hitches.
His cologne filled my nostrils, my eyes were on the ground.
How much embarrassment do I have to go through, I need to be confident.
A breath falls out of my lips when I reached for the towel and I placed it around my body.
I mustered some courage when my eyes met his, it was briefly before it fell upon something that caught my attention
“I think you have a problem.” I whispered when he looked down and I walked into the closet instantly.
My knees felt weak against each other, a wave of goosebumps appeared on my body and my breath hitches, every part of me body getting heated by what I witnessed, he is affected by me.
I did that to him, I caused that and I need to be confident for the rest of the night.
——
“You are staring Adrain.” I whispered when I walked down the stairs, the same words he had said to me some time ago, I could not ignore what happened between us earlier and the fact that tonight we may share a kiss, I could not ignore the butterflies that filled my body and how my body raised at me.
“You look good.” I whispered so low. “Did you take care of your little problem.”
“I assure you it was not little Elara but that’s a conversation you are not ready to have, that’s something you are not ready to see.”
“Worried I would be able to handle it and want more.” I asked when his hand got tighter against mine, my mind filled with thoughts and nervousness I didn’t want to show him.
I am my father’s daughter and I would not let him overwhelm me again, I need to be confident, if I ever want papa to believe what is going on, I need to know what I am doing.
I stared at Adrian when he leaned in toward me, his hot breath fanning against my ears.
“You may not be able to handle it Elara and you are I both know now you are confident but deep down you are scared, you are worried.” He said as I gulped down. “Your body is filled with heat, your breath is going faster than I imagined and when you stare at me, I see the way you look, you may deny it all you want Elara but I see what your body craves, I can tell what you mind craves.” He said
His hand tracing through my body as I stared at him.
“There is no denying you saw what happened earlier, it’s natural, you would be mad if it didn’t happen that way.” He said and I didn’t speak again.
I wanted to speak, I really did but I didn’t have any words that would escape my lips, I didn’t know what I could say at the moment.
“Adrian.” I whispered so low, I could barely utter any words, I am letting him win, I didn’t want him to though, I wanted to pull away yet I could not, his body filled with heat as his lips softly and gently flickered through my ears.
My eyes were on his when he pulled away from me.
“Uhm..”
Fuck
He overwhelmed me, no matter what I say, or do now, it has already won but I would not let him win, I would not let him think he can control this.
