Chapter 2

The moonlight casted a silvery sheen on Lily’s red hair, making it glow with a soft light as she clung tightly to the man’s arm, taking careful steps not to fall as she was still blindfolded.

“Why the blindfold?”, she asked inquisitively.

“Just for the fun of it”

The walk to his limo wasn’t long and they were soon seated in his back seat.

The alcohol was giving effects in her insides and she felt fuzzy.

“Where are we going?” She asked, her mind piling with thoughts on the adventure she was about to take with a complete stranger.

‘My suite. Somewhere private, I don’t like to be seen outside so much. Don’t worry, you’re safe with me.’He reached out and took off her blindfold.

Lily looked around , she had never been on a ride so magical and elite. The interior of the limousine was carefully designed, everything voiced wealth from within.

The dark windows and shining lights made it look like their own private club. 

”What do you want to do with me?”, she said trying to study his face.

“What I do best”

His voice. His aura. His tone. Everything about him made Lily’s insides swirl with excitement. Her poor vagina now throbbed with longing.

She reached out for his hand and put it on her breast,” I can’t wait any longer “

Like a mating call, her words aroused everything in him. He never liked to satisfy sexual desires in any of his cars but she was different. Her presence made his body burn with passion and desire.

He pulled her to himself immediately and enclosed her lips with his, his left hand clutching firmly on her right breast.

The rest of the short ride was filled with passionate kisses, both trying their hardest to save the best part for the room.

He tossed her on the bed and ripped off her clothes once they were locked in his room. He was amazed at how perfect her body was sculpted. What a masterpiece! He thought.

She knelt down on the bed and slowly unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his broad chest, her fingers running down to his belt.

Once his trouser was off, she immediately grabbed his crotch and he gave a low groan. She massaged it with a tight grip, each stroke making her yearn for it to be in her. She kissed his chest ,circling her tongue around his nipples.

Her kisses were soft and sweet that he thought he was never going to get enough from her in one night.

Lily closed her eyes as he put her to lay on the bed once again. This was the night. She was finally going to get laid. But with a stranger? Oh, dear Lily.

His hands worked magic on her body, each touch aroused a sensation more powerful than the previous as he explored her body.

He slowly began to work his finger in her insides as she closed her eyes,” You are art”, he heard himself say to her.

She smiled,”Make love to me tonight. Don’t hold back”

His thrusts were nothing like Lily had ever imagined, they were better! He pinned her hands to the bed, loving every moan she let out. Each sound from her made him pound deeper.

Her nipples were hard as rock when he touched them, chills ran down her whole body as his mouth enclosed one. He sucked on her whilst still pounding her insides. 

She raked his hair softly when he let go of her hands,gasping for breath with excitement. Everything about him was powerful, she didn’t want to stop.

His moans became louder and she knew what was coming, she felt hers too. They gave loud moans at climax, each gasping for air.

He lay still on her for a moment before sliding over to the bed.

Lily pulled the covers up her chest and bit into them in excitement. She had just lost her virginity. And to a stranger? Her best friend, Ash, would certainly go nuts on the news tomorrow.

The room was dark, the only light being the moon ray from a tiny crack in the curtains so it was hard to make out his face.

The room fell into a tranquil hush except the sounds from their synchronized breaths. 

It was only when she had made sure that he was fast asleep that she tip-toed  into the bathroom.

She looked at her face in the mirror and arranged her hair. She muffled her giggles as she thought of what she had done. How on earth did I just make love to a stranger?, she thought.

The water was warm on her skin when she stepped into the shower. She closed her eyes as the drops gave soft taps on her skin, her mind drifting carelessly to Ryder’s previous touches.

She stood long in the shower, reminiscing every moment and thought from the past hour. It was only then that she thought of what would come the next morning, how was she going to act when she met the man face to face in the morning?

The silence of the room reverted as she put the shower off, she got dressed and returned to the room.

She lay awake and thought about waking him to talk to her , she wanted him to speak, to say anything at least. Did he like it? She scooted over to him slightly to get a little contact before bed but immediately she moved he turned his back on her and faced the other side.

Lily felt a chill run down her spine at his sudden cold behavior. Shaken, she held herself still , a million thoughts running through her mind.

She had always discussed sex with Ash, and how the best part of it all was the long cuddling afterwards. Why was it different on her first time.

She could still feel the alcohol’s effect in her system as she sat up ,gazing into the darkness.

The night was long and dreary to Lily, she couldn’t wait for dawn to come so she could flee from this man with no emotions.

She had fallen into a deep sleep only to be woken abruptly from a loud knock on the door.

Her eyes snapped open immediately. She sat up and pulled the sheets to her chest to cover her naked body. 

She watched as the man she spent the night walked to the door to receive their visitor.

A room service attendant walked in with a tray of varieties of food. There was eggs, toast, bacon, fruits , an açaí bowl , burritos and coffee. 

He said something to the attendant and he exited quickly.

“You’re leaving already?”, she asked.

The man turned immediately to Lily who was unsure of what to say or do. He had watched her sleep since he woke up, now she was awake, it was even a better sight.

“Yes.Work”

“Last night, you_”

“Last night was last night. I would like not to speak of it.” His tone was harsh, entirely dismissing.

The first thing he captured was her vibrant red hair, cascading around her face , dropping slightly on her shoulders.

Her hair looked like a halo of fire from the morning light. He always knew red to signify danger, but this was the kind of danger he knew anyone would dare to risk. At the same time, it made him feel a warmth and safety in the storm of his own making.

He watched her stare right back at him ,dumbfounded to even find his words. Her face glistened in the sun, her features now more prominent than ever.

Her eyes were green. The color of precious stones, the kind that kingdoms fought each other to attain, to possess as a symbol of wealth and power. 

Her nose was perfectly molded with a pointed tip,he imagined running a finger down its bridge just like he did on his violin strings before he played.

He wondered how someone could be so perfect and his eyes lingered temptingly on her lips. They were full and round , a lush pink color that could only be found on the Italian palettes his dad used to paint.

His intrusive thoughts almost won as he was just about to examine her breasts,he looked up at her face immediately,”What’s your name?”

“Lily”, she stuttered.

“That’s your breakfast “, he said, pointing over to the food tray, a driver will be just outside the room to take you wherever you want when you’re ready to leave.”

She watched him put on his navy blue suit and adjust his tie, “I’m not hungry”, she said, trying to rid herself of the lump in her throat.

He didn’t look at her when he responded,” You should eat”, he picked up his suitcase from the table.

“Why do you care?”

“We’ll I don’t “. He faced her,” My mother only taught me to be a gentleman.”

“Gentleman? You wouldn’t know manners even if they slapped you right in the face.”

Ryder swallowed and turned away from her,” The burritos are nice. You would love them.”

“One minute you act like you don’t care and the next you show affection? What is it with you?”

“Born a gentleman. Always one”, he glanced at the bathroom door,” And oh, the water should be hot now. For your bath.”

“Why won’t you eat with me”

“I eat alone and with family”, he saw the hurt in her eyes,” I have work also”

She didn’t respond, only clinging more tightly to the sheets on her body.

“Well, do have a good day.”

He left without another glance, the shut of the door bringing her back to reality. 

She touched her head, she sensed a headache coming as this was her first hangover ever, she wondered how Ash dealt with more than 3 in a week.

She got up and walked around , glancing at her naked body halfway past the mirror, still surprised at herself for what she had done the previous night.

It wasn’t how she had imagined losing her virginity, she didn’t expect the man to be so cold and unaffectionate either but she decided not to dwell on it.

Once she leaves this place she’ll not have to remember him ever. It’s a new day. She thought.

A new day? Her appointment! It was 7:15 AM when she looked at the wall clock , her appointment was by 8!

She rushed over to the bed to search for her phone just when a call came through. She picked up the phone.

Her face grew pale instantly as she saw the caller’s name.
