CHAPTER FIFTEEN

At that moment, she saw him as a little child that needed saving. He looked like he was out in the cold, shivering and whimpering like a drenched cat. But then, he had the nerves to scream words at her?
'You're pathetic!" She bellowed, making to walk past him into the room.
It took every ounce of his self esteem to hold himself back from hitting her across the face. Despite his anger, his groin tightened when she walked past him, making her way to the couch that was littered with empty cans, filthy glass cups and his dampened stockings. His expression eased just a bit and he heaved a deep sigh, straightening his shoulder.
Then she turned a delicate brow, jaw clenched tightly. Nicholas could swear he saw a muscle ticked in her forehead. She was a lunatic.
'Before you say anything further, I want you to know that you're not welcome here." He said in a low menacing voice.
'I can be wherever I want…you seem to think so highly of yourself, Nicky." She returned in the same tone. She eyed the space with disdain and waved a manicured finger in dismissal. 'Besides, there's nothing here to warrant such treatment from you…you're drunk." She added with a seer.
'Get out!" He barked, pointing his clenched fist at the closed door.
'Shut up!" Astra snapped, her voice stiff as a board. She had come here to apologize to him for any shenanigans or something she had had done for whatever reason since she couldn't recall a thing.
Silence stretched, but the air was swelling with spite. The atmosphere was tense. Astra wanted to rummage in her purse for her oil perfume, and maybe dabble a few drops on the floor and the curtains. Anything to wade off the toxic scent that was permeating the enclosed space, making her want to puke.
'It's unimaginable how someone like you could be so daft…you are filthy… your breath stinks!" Astra wanted to hurl so much, her stomach churned at how disgusting the whole place stank and how he still managed to stay here. What exactly had happened days after she left this house. The last time she had been here, she had met everywhere neat, knowing Nicholas, he was a neat freak,so when she saw and smelled the pungency of the room, her heart boiled.
Nicholas threw back his head and laughed. The sound grated on her nerves. Bastard! What was so funny now?
'You sound judgmental. One would think you're a saint." He snarled, wait. Did he know that she had a thing for drinking? Something like a memory crept into her mind and sat there, she suddenly saw herself seated in his car, he was crouched down in one of the seats, it seemed like he was looking for something and somehow she knew that the place stank of gin. Dry gin.
'You are an ingrate…I shouldn't have come here in the first place!" she knew it the moment the drive felt like she was traveling instead of just going from one place to another, it felt too long, too much and yet she had endured it.
'And I've asked you to leave!" He glared at her, 'Fucking leave…take your stinking attitude elsewhere!" Astra looked at him with fury, he had the audacity to speak to her in the manner that he did and yet she was the one with the attitude.
'I won't leave just because you're asking me to!" She fired back, it was high time he knew he didn't just get to dictate when he wanted to and where he felt like it. She was a fucking human being and not a toy he could command and bend at his will.
For fuck sake, his head was hurting. Nicholas just wanted her gone.
He strode towards her and forcefully grabbed her arms, yanking her towards the door. 'Then I'll throw you out!" He made to pull open the door but Astra tugged him back, getting between him and the door.
'Make me." She gave him a daunting glare, 'I'd love to see your drunken ass haul me out. Right now." Not like it would have been the first time, it wouldn't have been a surprise and she desperately wanted him to give her a reason to finally quit his job and get the hell out of town and away from him.
Nicholas made to grab her again, this time, his hand brushed her cleavage. His breath ceased and his eyes darkened slightly.
Astra noticed this and retaliated by giving his hand a quick spank and with a mocking glare. 'Don't you dare put those filthy hands on me again, you dimwit!" she yelled but she knew she wanted him to do it again, she knew it and she knew he knew it.
Nicholas ignored her. Grabbing her by the shoulders, he tugged her warm body into his and meshed her lips with his, swallowing her protest.
He wasn't slow. Neither did he wait for her consent. He knew she'd give in…he knew just how far to go to get her to trail her long dainty fingers on his arms, then slowly downward to his bicep.
Astra shoved at his chest and tried to get him off. But his hold was stronger than she presumed. He wasn't staggering and his stance was of a man ready to take her hard against the door. His mouth swallows her moans and his tongue nibbling on her earlobes.
Heated arousal swirled deep in her belly, crawling its way down to her pelvic. She moaned and tried to rub her thighs together to help ease the painful throb of her clitoris.
Fuck! She wanted to beg him. She wanted to scream at him to stop torturing her. But the words got stuck in her throat.
'Say it." He said in a whisper.
Nicholas nudged her legs apart and pushed his right leg in between, grazing her center with his knee cap. Hell, he wanted to tear her underwear and drive hard and fast into her slit. He could feel the moistened pussy. Slippery and ready.
He closed his eyes and waited for her to say the words. Astra was a stubborn woman, but for once, he wanted her to beg him. He wanted her to say just how much he was affecting her.
She tasted and plundered his mouth instead, ignoring his words. Pretending she hadn't heard him.
'Astra…please….say it. I want to hear you say it."
'You need this as much as I do, Nick. Why wait?" She said feelingly
She lowered her head to his neck and nibbled on the soft flesh there. Biting gently and soothing it with her tongue. Astra could hear him take in a sharp breath. She smiled against his lips and tried her tongue upwards to his earlobe.
The moment her mouth found the soft sensitive part, she opened her mouth and nipped at it.
'Fuck…yes!" Nicholas groaned.
She thought she had the upper hand, but unbeknownst to her, Nicholas was slowly unzipping her dress, trying to pull her breast free.
The second she jammed her warm tongue into his ear, Nicholas pulled her breast free and bent his head to take one delicate nipple into his mouth, he suckled slowly at first, then with an aggressiveness that made her stutter.
'Oh god…yes…yes…fuck, Nick!"
She whimpered and gummed her body to his, arching her back to push her chest more to him. Her eyes rolled and she made to grab his shoulders but he shrugged her off, directing her hot palm to his chest.
‘Touch me!"
'You want to beg now?" She goaded, stifling a moan as her fingers made contact with his hardened chest. He was rock hard. Taut.
In reply, Nicholas pinched her nipples. The next breath had him kneeling between her thighs. He lifted the dress, revealing a black lace underwear.
'So beautiful…so fucking exquisite." He inhaled her musky scent and moved his head closer to her center.
When his tongue massaged her pubic mons, sliding down to her outer clitoris, Astra jumped, bouncing on his face. The movement made her pussy hole to be directly over his parted lips.
Nicholas hummed and kissed her there, worshiping, giving, and taking. He relished in the feel of her warm and moist center.
Astra tasted like strawberry mixed with spices. Calm. Arousing. Intoxicating.
'Please…fuck…please, Nick." She whimpered as he continued to tease her opening with his tongue.
'Fucking finally." He purred.
When he made a plunge in his tongue, Astra's phone vibrated first and then its ring startled them, it was on the couch.
They both sighed. But he didn't pull away.
'Hey, I don't have to take that." She said, forcing her voice to be steady.
Nicholas hesitated then he slowly waited for the ring to die down.
***
The first ring got Astra startled at first to pause for a minute, they stopped just for a while until the phone stopped ringing. Astra sighed with pleasure as Nicholas continued what he was doing, the damn phone rang again and the air changed its momentum. It was obvious the tension in the air was changing. Something was happening and yet the damn phone kept on ringing and ringing, Nicholas groaned even more, his dick was hard as fuck and yet the only thing that pierced through the darkness wasn't the sound of the thrusts he was supposed to be making.
No.
It was the sound of a phone that was hidden and forgotten in Astra's bag. He was so annoyed as to who the fuck could be calling at this time, this very hour when there was supposed to be a hundred percent focus, he was supposed to be relieving his greatest fantasy right here right now. He was supposed to have her pinned against the wall, hands up like the good girl she was, his fingers doing crazy things to her clit as he fought for dominance with his tongue in her mouth. He was supposed to be pumping her pussy with fingers that turned to three, slow thrusts at first then faster without even having to penetrate her, he would lick her throat the way she enjoyed it, bite her ear lobes and lunch her taut nipples till they were so hard,it would hurt her a He would put her legs on his shoulders, his face crouched down to her clit and let his tongue do the right things there. He would watch her with sleepy eyes as He went back and forth, slurping her lobes into his mouth as though it was a drink, then gradually make way towards her opening and slip a tongue into her wet walls, greeting her walls with an even wetter surface. She would scream as she was a natural screamer and that was one thing he loved about her, she couldn't hide her emotions when it came to pleasure, she was always an open book. Letting the littlest moans come to life at any spot he eventually chose to push. He would take her by the waist, knowing that she was still very hungry and he would make her hold the piano as he fucked her shitless, changing the rhythm of his thrusts as he monitored her orgasm level, when he knew she was close to, he would change their positions to the ground, the plush carpet would hurt his buttocks but he wouldn't mind it. He would have her ride him and fuck her to a force, in an almost animalistic way and when she finally got to the point of no return, they would both arch their backs and moan out indescrible things. The image he had portrayed in his head was not helping his dick go soft as he wanted to rip the bag apart and make her focus on what he wanted but after the fourth ring, he could tell that Astra's mood was off and over. It pissed Nicholas off so much he didn't know when he grabbed the bag they had thrown and forgot on the floor and picked the damn phone. With his face taking the part of annoyance he bellowed " who the fuck is this!?"
***
"Who the hell are you? And where's Astra? Tell her that I need to speak to her immediately '' Nicholas couldn't believe the crap that was falling out from this man's mouth. He knew who it was and he hated the very air that Jared breathed. He had spoken to him once and had overheard a conversation before as well, also once.
"Astra is busy, Jared. She isn't up for silly men like you. You should go and get a good job, not try to take people's wives away from them. You should do something better with your life than sit there and try to woo a woman who is clearly not having the hots for you, who doesn't love you. Are you not pathetic?" Nicholas said in a mocking tone, Astra froze in her spot, she didn't know what it was that made her to stand there in silence and what the calamity that was about to befall her to happen in free will. She had to snap out of it as quickly as she could but she was rooted to the spot, knees weak and clothes thrown askew and haphazardly bout the place.
Jared paused before sucking in a sharp breath "Nicholas? What the hell are you doing with her cell phone, you disgusting example of a husband. You abandoned the only woman who gave a shit about you, drove her outside in the rain, called her names and left her penniless and poor. You didn't even ask how she got to be under a knife,nothing about her interested you. You don't even care about her,you're just trying to use her to pass the time and I know what you're doing and by God! I am going to make sure all your efforts are futile and disgustingly destroyed. You're a monster Nicholas, no matter what the papers say about you, I need you to know that you're trash, you're a bag of nothing worthy , you're a disgrace to our fender and Everytime you look in the mirror I hope you see how disgusting you are, leaving the so called love of your miserable life on the streets. Thinking you could send her alimony so that she could somehow magically come back to you because of the money you have been directing to her bank account, you're a foolish man. Foolish and that case you think you're building up against her; the kind you have had the news talk about none stop, you and I know that that case is a phony. An absolute waste of time and energy but that's just you isn't you. That's what you are, a waste of space and energy. You should crawl into a hole and stay there till the world ends. Leave Astra the fuck alone, let her experience what happiness tastes like since her mouth has been soiled with the likes of you, bitter and undesirable.
Nicholas couldn't believe his ears; he had not just been insulted, he was desecrated completely, he took a breath wanting to fire him back but Astra took the phone from his ears, how she did it with her short height he didn't know. He didn't think that was even important, he was caught pants down and angrier than when she walked in at first.
***
"Jared… Jared! Can you hear me?" Astra tried to talk out so that he could hear her but Jared just snorted and hung up on her. She looked at her phone in anger and then gradually looked at Nicholas.
"Who the hell did you think you are?" Who the hell did he think he was? Really? She had the audacity to ask him such a question! He wasn't the one having a boyfriend now was he?
"You had absolutely no right to take my calls, that was highly unprofessional and fucking rude!" She shoved past him, picking a few things from the ground as she went past him. At first Nicholas was stunned and then he wasn't.
"Unprofessional! Unprofessional!! You dare tell me that now? As if you weren't part of the act and the fuck? What would you even have that idiot calling you when you know too well that you belong to another, you know very well that you don't love him!" That got Astra to stop dead in her tracks. She turned to him and menacingly walked back towards him, he was six foot six and she was a common five foot four and yet, the height difference didn't scare her, neither did anything he had said. She stood two inches from him and with slit eyes " and what makes you think I belong to you? You are nothing but a bag of filth. You disgust me" Astra lashed out. He had some nerve to think she belonged to him.
Nicholas had had enough of this bullshit, he wasn't going to have it anymore. He walked towards the door, dragging his dick to the side incase and only if staff were still walking to and fro and saw his dick standing out more than the rest of him. He unlocked the door he had locked while she wasn't looking and with silence opened it "Get the fuck out. Right. Now." Astra couldn't believe her ears, she had come here bearing some good tidings, she wanted to apologize but here she was about to be kicked out of a house she had been thrown out of for the damn second time. She took pity on herself but at this moment she had never loathed Nicholas like the way she did right now. Luckily for her, she was already dressed, her lipstick was no longer there and her hair was a bit mismanaged but she looked fine and everything about her smelled of hunger and sex starvation but to her, to Astra, her self dignity was more important and with the right amount of self confidence she sashayed her way out of the house, flipping Nicholas the middle finger as she casually walked out.
Good riddance.
