"If you love someone and they disappear without a trace from your life just like a spirit. What do you do? What do you think Riley Brown should do? You can share your thoughts on it in the comment section. I would love to read from you." [Author]
....
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard her yawning. So he looked over to see her rubbing her eyes with her hands. It was cute.
People don't always need advice. Sometimes all they need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen and a heart to understand them.
Understanding she needed a little space for herself he decided to let her sleep. Kissing her forehead he bid her good night.
"Sleep, tight Honey."
Coming out of the room he sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of whiskey drinking it in one gulp. 'She loves him.' His fickle mind reminded him. 'What are you going to do?'
'He is her first love. Her everything.'
'Arggh!' He clamped and tugged his hair back,
'No smoke can be kept hidden forever.'
'What will you do Christian Evercast when she will get to know about your lies.'
"ahh."
'Don't Ah-me Christian. Think about what will you do?"
"Ah."
Taking another gulp of whiskey he inhaled deep breaths to calm down. It would do him no good to think with an insecure mind.
He brushed his thoughts away and went straight to the bathroom; Maybe a cold shower could help him only. After showering for almost an hour, he went straight to her room to check up on her.
He knew because of what she had seen or imagined she must have been too hurt. She was one of the main reason why he did the unthinkable, though he didn't regret that doesn't mean he wasn't scared to hurt her. He still wished she will have the heart in the future to forgive him.
The moment he entered he saw her speaking in her sleep throwing her arms around.
"No. No, Don't hurt him."
"Please stop. Leave him."
The last high pitched scream made him instantly run to her.
"No."
He tried to shake her but she didn't wake up. He sat down and hugged the life out of her. For a moment he was scared to see her like this. But touching her made him realize She was sweating all over her body. Her body was shaking and she was whimpering in a small voice.
Yet it seemed body contact made her feel at ease. Since she stilled. And stopped throwing her arms in the air. Riley was in a daze and was reliving the same scene when Stuart had died.
Thinking cuddling might help her, he laid down beside her keeping her in his arms.
When Riley woke up the first thing she felt was an arm encircling her waist. While her leg was entangled with someone else's leg. 'What did she had a one night stand last night. Was I so sad? That I Ah! God, please. Don't make it what I am thinking.' She didn't want to open her eyes and confirm whatever her dirty brain was thinking.
And then the strangest thing happened she noticed a strong musky scent that she was getting well acquainted with from the last three months.
Immediately after her eyes shot open as she gazed at him. 'For a moment she felt fine with the thought of spending her first night with him.' But when she noticed her clothes were on.
She kept breathing in his scent that she had come to love with time. Just when she returned her eyes to his face. She kept taking his scent without realizing his brown orbs were staring at her with nothing but love in them.
She finally looked up at Christian only to see a blank face. Yet at the moment it felt like she was not able to breathe. She kept looking into his eyes searching for any emotion possible maybe love, or even desire. Their faces were just a breath apart. It seemed if she spoke she will be kissing him.
"I." Trying to dispel the silence she spoke when her lips touched his barely. Immediately his spirits went up and a smile embraced his face. One he was not able to get rid of. It was the first time when she had kissed him even if it was not intentional.
Riley felt awkward to lay there in his arms with her whole body entangled with his. Out of panic, she tried to wiggle out of him but only made it worst.
The moment she closed her eyes she seems to look straight into those brown orbs she had started liking for some time, Mindy. It was as if his face was encrypted in her mind.
In a swoosh, Before she could withdraw her mind from its far places, his arms were around her, as hard as a rock. Her eyes turned saucers when Christian covered her body with his. Making her squeal but it was drowned by his kiss. He silenced her with his lips.
In the shadow of him, her cheeks turned redder. He could smell the rosy sweet fragrance shower gel she used. And then he lost control of himself. His tongue in her mouth. It was instantaneous and urgent. Plunged like some writhing sea shape into her gaping maw. It all overpowered his senses as she responded to him clinging onto him as the only solid thing in a dizzy swaying world.
He left her for a moment to inhale and hardly she had taken a shaky breath that His insistent mouth was on her again. parting her shaking lips again sending wild tremors along with her nerves evoking from her sensations she had never known she was capable of feeling. Her sweetness and softness of lips warmed him to the core.
Having enjoyed her lips in the first quarter of the morning. With deep satisfaction, he left her with the biggest smile on his face.
'Ah, what a great start of the morning. What he would not do to get up in the morning in the same way. With her in his arms. As he kissed the life out of her.
