CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

He chuckled lightly and his eyes met mine once more.

Who was this man? And did he have such a strong effect on me?

He laughs and his laughter slowly fades.

"That's interesting Ms.?" He pressed innocently.

He wanted my name. I wasn't going to give in that easily to Mr. Hot stuff.

A smile curved my lips and I giggled softly.
The dim light showed off his facial features.

Fuck he was hot.

"Haha nice try I'm not giving you my name."

I could feel the sexual tension buzzing between us.

Shit was it that obvious?

While I was lost in my thoughts he sipped his whisky and smiled at me.

His gaze is no longer soft and gentle. His gaze held me in place warning me with his eyes.

He was dangerous but who was I to resist?

He traced his fingertips along my jaw gently admiring me.

"I always get what I want: golden locks."

I cocked a brow at him in surprise.

His thin lips curved into a sexy smirk.

"You remind me of someone I used to know" his says quietly his voice laced with pain and agony.

Should I prey into his past?

I barely know this stranger but my curiosity is beyond my control. Before I can register what's happening the words already leave my lips.

"Who was she?"

He eyes curiously and says nothing.

Shit.

I must have struck a nerve with such a question.

"An old acquaintance nothing more golden locks" he mutters quietly but I suppress the urge to ask more.

I nod slowly.

The wound must be deep.

"What was she like?"

He placed his glass on the table.

"She's not dead."

Oh.

"I'm sorry I thought-"

"I don't want to talk about my past so let's end here" he says firmly.

" Okay."

He sighs quitely and drinks more whiskey.

What could have broken him so badly?

A breakup perhaps?

A song begins to play in the background and he surprises me.

He catches me off guard and offers his hand.

"Dance with me."

I felt nervous but the alcohol in my system encouraged me and I placed my hand in as he slowly ushered me to the center of the bar.

The crowd went silent.

A song begins to play and somehow it consumes every piece of my soul.


(Save me from myself- Oliver Musique)


Don't wanna see
What's in front of me
I feel so far from home
Please don't tell me
I won't do it alone
I'm so scared of the unknown
Lost in sea
Can't find the key to go back where we belong
Tired of bringing me away form home
I don't know if it's right or wrong

Save me
Save me from this life
Say you'll be here with me

Save me
Save me from myself
Say you will fill that void

Will you follow me to the end of the fear?
When everything falls apart, will you stay with me?

(Silence)

Save me
Save from this life
Say you'll be here with me

Save me
Save me from myself
Say you'll fill that void

Save me
Save me from this life
Say you'll be here with me

(Save me)
Save me from myself
Say you will fill that void

(Silence)


The song lyrics play in the background softly and Mr. Hot stuff tightens his hold around my waist.

The song was more like a plea but from who?

He wrapped his arms around my waist,our bodies pressed together sinfully. Our dance was slow and sensual; it sparked undeniable flames of desire inside me.

Was this real?

He placed a soft kiss on my throat and my pulse frantically raced.

What was this stranger doing to me?

My body was dangerously reacting to his touch.

"You're beautiful sweetheart" he rasped in my ear and a shiver ran down my spine.

I moaned softly.

He pulled away and I frowned because of the loss of contact.

I wanted this stranger.

He smiled like he read my mind and stretched out his hand.

"Come with me."

It only took three words to convince me.

Was I crazy if I went with him?

Nah.

I placed my hand in his.

What could possibly go wrong?

He paid for our drinks and led me out of the bar.

Once we were inside the car I suddenly felt nervous.

Was this a mistake?

Having a one night stand with a man I barely know was never on my bucket list.

Once he saw my worried look he placed his hand on top of mine and gave it a gentle squeeze.

He gave me a small reassuring smile.

I closed my eyes and breathed out.

After the car engine roared to life there was no going back.

In less than twenty minutes we arrived at his hotel suite and I was astonished.

He dropped his jacket over my shoulders and snaked a possessive arm around my slender waist.

The jacket had his scent.

It was so pathetic but I sniffled it softly and closed my eyes.

Yum.

He ushered me inside the elevator and punched in a few numbers. The elevator suddenly came to a halt and went up the highest floor.

He pinned me to the metal cold wall and crushed his lips on mine.

A moan escaped my lips and I felt his hand squeezing my ass.

I felt his huge erection pressed innocently against my lower abdomen.

It's going to be a long night.

My core throbbed with excitement. It was burning with undeniable need.
