Chapter 7

“Argh!“ Layla screamed as she jumped out of the bed like someone who had seen a ghost.

Lucius raised his face to her and cocked his head to the side like a predator. 

“What are you doing?” she asked, her heart moving so fast she feared it would tear through.

Lucius stood from the bed and chuckled lightly. He thought Layla must be amazing at acting. Surely she couldn't have been asleep.

How could she be asleep while he did all of that to her? She was most definitely just pretending now. She was acting scared. Brilliant...

"Layla..." He said and started coming toward her but she jumped farther away from him and raised her finger in warning.

"Do not come any closer or I'll scream!" She stuttered as she took unconscious steps backward.

He chuckled all over again and continued strolling towards her. “Why are you acting like a child? How can you pretend not to know what was going on?”

Layla felt the sincerity in his voice but her mind refused to put the puzzle together. She was determined to scream out for help. This was not a part of their contract!

Why was he touching her? And what gave him the right to think he owned her body? 

She threw her eyes to the bedside table where she had placed her phone earlier. 

Once she got to it, help would come. 

She just had to find a way to get to it and run directly to the restroom.

“I—I am asking you a question!“ Layla yelled seeking to stall him as she redirected her steps.

He seemed to know where she was headed as he closed up the distance between them faster. 

She tried to back away but she hit the wall behind her. She was trapped.

He walked impossibly nearer until his face became only some inches from hers. His palms trapped her at the wall before she could think of walking away. 

Against her will, she found her body melting into him just like it did in the dream. 

His arms on the wall grazed against her skin and she felt goosebumps develop on the spot.

What was wrong with her? He thought as he studied her closely. She had asked him to touch her. She specifically asked him not to stop.

“Are you forgetting the contract you signed?“ He asked sternly snapping her out of the obscene thoughts in her head.

His breath fell on her face and shivers drove down to her thighs. She tried her best to stay strong but her body was refusing to obey her. 

His presence was intimidating yet irresistible. She could not think straight with him standing so close.

“W—what are you saying?“ Layla asked breathlessly. She had planned to sound firm and stern, but she failed —terribly.

Lucius smiled, seeing the defenseless look in her eyes. The way she was acting dumbstruck even made him feel more aroused. He had initially thought she was a calm and naive girl but with what she just pulled off, he decided this was going to be fun.

“You are here to satisfy me, Layla,” he said with a wide grin.

“I don’t understand what you're saying?” Layla's heart skipped a beat when she heard that from him.

“Don’t you get it, you're right here to give us the fantasy we've always dreamt of,” he replied. 

“We… I don’t get…” Layla was now completely thrown into a barrel of confusion. What myth could he be talking about?

“It isn't my fault you didn’t examine the content of the contract earlier before signing,” he stated.

“Now, stop acting and return to bed!“ He commanded.

What? Her heart sank as she found it difficult to breathe. 

She was now scared more than before could. What had she gotten herself into?

Was there more to this contract that she wasn't aware of?

Lucius couldn't wait anymore. She had given her consent and he wouldn't let it slide —The acting was fun however now he needed to claim his prize. 

He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back to the bed. 

The fire he was feeling was starting to consume him, and the only manner to quench it was to have Layla in his arms.

“Wait!“ Layla shouted to stop him. “I am not ready for any of this yet. Please give me some days I promise to give you what you need...” 

Lucius stopped in his track and turned to look at Layla. What did she mean she wanted extra days whilst he was already burning? Couldn’t she see his throbbing member?

"It's my first time and I don’t have any experience. Please can you give me a few days to get prepared for this?" She tried stalling again as her heart refused to stop racing. 

The mere look of his cock was sufficient to scare her. 

Yes, he was enticing and she simply enjoyed the make-out, however, she couldn't let him penetrate her. At least not tonight. She had to put together her thoughts for it to happen.

Lucius nodded at the mention of that. It was as if whatever force had gotten a hold of him vanished. He appeared to have come back to his senses. His throbbing cock became limp and he dropped her hand. 

He failed to recognize how she was able to make him so aroused and at the same time back to normal again, it was complicated. 

“Okay, I'll give you some days to get organized. However when that day comes, don't you dare deny me!” he warned and he hoped for her very own sake she was a virgin as she claimed. 

Layla was thankful that he listened to her. She stayed still and nodded her head at his warnings.

“Thanks, I promise I won't deny you once the time comes."

With that phrase, Lucius walked back to the bed, leaving her speechless, he opened the wardrobe and grabbed his towel before heading to the bathroom.

“I'll be back in five minutes. If you want to join me you can come along.” He teased and went to take a shower.

Layla blinked her eyes a lot to get herself out of her unconscious mind. 

Was this what she would be doing here for two mouths? Staying naked in the room with him was one thing but sharing a shower?

Unable to get an answer to her troubling questions, she quickly ran to the bed and pulled a large blanket that had been sitting on the edge. She wrapped herself in it and listened to the sound of splashing water coming from the bathroom. 

She did cherish the moment she felt his wet tongue on her nipples. It was insanely good...

"No!" She whispered harshly to herself.  

She simply couldn't begin getting on with a man just the first night with him. All she had to do now, was sleep and think about the rest of the days she was going to be with them. 

This was going to a fucking hell for her.

****

When Lucius returned from the bathroom, Layla was already fast asleep. He looked at her and was surprised she fell asleep in such a short time.

“What a fantastic woman!” he muttered. 

He got his nightwear on before getting on the bed with her. He tried to get some part of the blanket since all have been mostly wrapped around her. After a few seconds of struggling, he managed to get a bit of it.

 Layla rolled over and clenched his neck, pulling him again to the bed. 

Her face was inches away from his, and she started chewing her mouth unknowingly. 

Lucius smiled. This was going to be a night he was never going to forget.
