Chapter 4: Numb

Lake

My eyes were wide as I stammered but before I could find my words, his lips crashed into mine, stealing the breath from my lungs.

The sensation silenced everything—the pounding music, the crowd behind us, and the racing thoughts in my head. The wall hit my back with a cold jolt, but it did not matter. His warmth consumed me, his hands pressing against my sides with a desire that mirrored mine. My fingers instinctively gripped his shoulders, pulling him closer as if letting go would send me plummeting.

The kiss deepened, each movement more urgent than the last as if we were making up for all the moments that hadn’t been ours. His lips were firm but soft, his touch desperate, and when his teeth brushed against my lower lip, a shiver ran through me, leaving me completely undone.

I gasped for air when he finally pulled back, though it felt like I’d lost more than my breath. His forehead pressed against mine, and in the dim glow of the club lights spilling through the doorway, his eyes returned to mine, filled with something I could not name but craved all the same.

Without saying anything, his hand slid down to meet mine, his fingers lacing through it in a way that felt both natural and electric. He gently tugged, and I followed without hesitation.

We moved away from the club as if the world around us did not exist. The next sound I heard was the door slamming shut behind me, and before I could figure out where we were, the stranger's lips touched mine again, and I shuddered as sparks of electricity ran through my body.

It was as if all of my senses were heightened, and I felt each sensation more intensely than before. My arms took on a life of their own, wrapping around his waist and drawing him in as I deepened the kiss. A stack of textbooks on the nightstand fell to the floor, and I let out a desperate grunt as my back hit the cold tiles.

The room remained dark, except for a sliver of light that filtered through the improperly closed curtain. My heart pounded as if it would burst as I pressed his body against mine, the heat of his skin igniting a fire within me. His hands left my hair and roamed my body, looking for every inch of flesh they could find, and before I knew it, I was struggling with his zipper.

I shuddered at the sensation of his bulge, and a groan escaped his lips, allowing me to break the kiss. Without warning, I turned us around so he was leaning against the wall, and his breath caught in his throat as I slipped my hand inside his jeans and reached for his cock.

Again, his tongue dominated mine in an instant as his hands fumbled with the hem of my shirt. I quickly undid his jeans and pulled them down before dropping to my knees and stroking him up and down until a groan vibrated across his chest.

“Fuck, I’m so fucking hard,” he growled as I wrapped my hand around his tip and slid it up and down in a twisting motion while feeling myself drip as my own cock throbbed with a dizzying intensity. “Fuck!” Another grunt ripped through his chest, and I slowly drew circles on his tip with my tongue.

I heard him gasp as my lips wrapped around his length, and the room soon filled with his groans, causing me to move with renewed vigor as I finished what I started. His hand found the back of my head, his fingers weaving into my hair as he began thrusting while groaning louder, and my heart swelled with pride as I realized I was making him do that.

I sucked him deeper, reveling in the sensation of power as I drove him insane, forcing him to crumble at my command. But the feeling of power was fleeting as he fisted my hair and accelerated the pace, each thrust harder than the previous. I tried but could not keep up, and I gagged, tears welling up in my eyes, as my hands slid to his thighs and gripped them tightly as the predator became prey.

Drool coated my chest as the hot stranger mercilessly fucked my mouth, causing tears to roll down my cheeks. My fingers sank into his flesh as I gave in to his mercy, my grunts echoing off the walls, and just when I thought he could go on indefinitely, his muscles contracted, and he pulled out and emptied himself.

I fell to my hands, coughing as I took a much-needed breath, but before my lips could close, I was back against the wall, hands pinned above my head.

His hand slipped inside my boxers, his lips pressed against my neck, and my knees buckled as he began stroking my cock. He started slowly, and his left hand snaked under my shirt, causing me to arch my back as the familiar fire covered my back in goosebumps.

“My turn,” he whispered against my ear before taking my earlobe in his mouth while pinching my nipple, and another loud grunt vibrated through my chest, my vision becoming hazy.

“You like that?”

"Yes," I breathed out, a horny mess, as he stroked my cock faster in a twisting motion. My fingers gripped the wall as he continued his assault, his lips finding my neck again, and my breath came in ragged breaths as he sent me to the brink of insanity. It was not long before my body contracted, but just as I was about to release, he whispered in my ear, telling me not to.

I opened my mouth to say I couldn't hold back, but as he pulled down my jeans, the words died in my throat, leaving only a loud cry as he bent me over, spat in my hole, and entered me.

My legs buckled as my body jerked in response to the foreign invasion, and he wrapped his arms around my waist to keep me still. My eyes welled up with tears, and I gripped the headboard tightly as his hand slid to my upper back, causing me to bend over further. Loud grunts echoed off the walls as my hole stretched to his girth.

“Fuck!” He growled as his hands returned to my waist, holding me still while I bit my lower lip, bracing myself for the burning pain as he thrust deeper with each stroke. His left hand moved up to my chest, causing me to come up, while the right slipped between my thighs. He began stroking me while still thrusting harder, and I threw my head back in ecstasy, surrendering to him once more.

Hours Later

My eyes fluttered open, and I turned to my side, realizing I had fallen asleep. I groaned, stretching as I sat upright, but winced as my backside whispered not so fast.

Looking around the room, I realized I was alone. Was he gone? It was still dark, and I glanced at the clock on the bedside table to see that it was a little after 1 a.m. “Did he just get up and leave me in his room?” I muttered, unable to help but feel a pang in my chest at that.

I knew we weren't dating or anything, but this was his room. I got off the bed and headed to the bathroom to clean myself and get dressed. But my eyes widened as the room flooded with light.

I knew he had to be rich to be here, but I still wasn't expecting this. The room looked nothing like any of our rooms. It was filled with the latest tech. "Are those diamonds?" I whispered, walking over to the diamond-encrusted chaise lounge before looking at the giant TV that covered the entire wall and the state-of-the-art sound system. I also noticed that the room had a smart home system that seemed to control everything from the lighting to the temperature.

"Wow," I muttered looking at what looked like original paintings by Picasso and Van Gogh but frowned, noticing the button next to them and wondering what it was for.

I pressed it, and my lips parted again as the wall shifted to reveal a door. I opened it and gasped, walking inside a private movie theater and a gaming room with the latest consoles.

"Who is this guy?" I muttered, suddenly feeling a sense of unease. Just then, my phone rang, startling me, and I rushed out of the room. I pressed the button again, and everything went back to how it was.

I quickly headed to the sofa where my clothes were now folded. Picking up the phone, it was Lux. She was probably back in our room and wondering where I was. So I quickly finished getting dressed and headed out when I was done. I took the elevator to my room, punched in the code, and entered, expecting to find Lux inside, but she wasn't there.

I called her, but her phone rang unanswered, confusing me since she had phoned me just a few minutes ago. I felt dirty in the clothes I was wearing, so I quickly changed my clothes and headed out when I was done.

The party was pumping as I crossed the street to the club even though it was now morning. My eyes scanned the place as I entered, looking for Lux, and I quickly spotted her dancing with some guy. But I caught a familiar blonde head out of the corner of my eye, and my eyes widened as I saw Kairos making out with a girl.

What the hell? Just then, he pulled away from the kiss and looked up to meet my gaze, and my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach as he looked at me as if he had never seen me before.

What the fuck?

"Hey you," Lux said from behind, and I turned around to see her with both the guy she had been dancing with and another. "Are you okay?" she asked, taking in my expression, and I nodded, still trying to process what I had just witnessed. “Guys, this is my friend, Lake Lockwood,” she said, and the guys said something, but I didn't even hear them as I started to go numb.
