3| The smooch

Amaira's POV

"Take 10 steps backward and kiss the first man you encounter!"

His words stunned me and my jaw dropped down on its own.

How could I possibly kiss a stranger?

"Oh no! Leave the poor girl alone!" My head snapped in the direction of the voice "How could she kiss a random man when she hasn't even kissed her boyfriend ever before"

And everyone began mockingly laughing at me. I gulped down the embarrassment which felt more like humiliation. I lowered my head to hide my face with my hair.

Why did I come here in the first place!

"Come on Amaira, let's do it" Chloe nudged me and everyone cheered me up.

I fisted my dress and took a deep breath. I am forced to do this as I don't have any other option. Now, when I have come here and become part of this dare I have to do this, willingly or unwillingly.

As I stood up, a wave of dizziness washed over me. My hand rose up to hold my head and stop it from spinning so that I could focus on the people around me.

"Wuhoo! Someone is going to be lucky tonight" one of the boys blew a whistle.

I waited for my head to stop spinning. After a while, I turned around while my eyes tried to focus on the crowd in front of me. I couldn't see anyone's face clearly because of the blurry vision. But with the vague images, I inferred that there are a lot of men here.

I am not sure who I am going to kiss today!

Let it be! It is just a kiss, only one kiss! I shouldn't think about it too much.

With my chin held high, I started making my way towards the crowd, unsure which one is going to be my prey. With each movement of my legs, my dress whirled around my mid-thigh and reduced the gap between me and my aim.

My steps were shaky but I try to walk as normally as possible. I don't want to triple down. I can't possibly embarrass myself any further by falling on my face first and kissing the floor despite of a man. I am sure I will regret more for wasting my first kiss on the floor rather than on a random man!

Urgh! Don't know what am I thinking! I shouldn't have drank that much!

I moved through the couples, making sure I didn't step in between them, while mentally counting my steps.

The gaze of the group that had given me this challenge was burning a hole in the back of my head, curiously looking forward to whom I would kiss.

A boy approached me and asked me to dance, but I politely declined because he was not my target for the night.

I took the remaining 5 steps by focusing more on my target and less on the people. My heart was pounding in my chest and anxiety was coursing through my veins. I came to a halt when I reached a man. I am not sure if I have taken 10 steps or not because I forgot the counting in between.

His back was to me. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, probably talking with a man standing in front of him. He was tall, his shoulders were broad enough to hide me perfectly from the eyes of the world.

His personality was exhaling raw power and he looks like a prominent man.

My hand rose to tap on his shoulder and ask him if he could help me with the dare and let me kiss him but it dropped down as soon as it reached up.

I pursed my lips and closed my eyes to prepare myself again but ended up with the same result because it appears to be the worst idea that my mind could come up with.

I couldn't muster enough courage to ask him directly. My head turned in the direction of the group who were still waiting for me to take any action. It was a form of entertainment for them and I was the star of the show.

I took another deep breath and tilted my head towards the mysterious man whom I am going to kiss today.

I am not sure what came over me that abruptly I grabbed his elbow and whirled him around with my full strength and standing on my tippy toes, I slammed my lips on him without even looking at him because somewhere I knew that I wouldn't be able to complete the dare if I saw him.

The man was so shocked that the glass of wine that he was holding slipped from his fingers and shattered on the floor. But I cared less about that as my focus was on completing my dare.

In the midst of it all, I lost my balance and was about to fall back when my arms shot up and wrapped around his neck in response to saving myself from breaking the bones. He also wrapped his arms around my waist and placing his palm on the small of my back, pressed me against his well-built body, which was quite surprising from his side too.

When he moved to save me, his muscular scent filled my nostrils and I tasted blueberries on his lips.

Jolts of electricity ran through my body when our lips rubbed with each other.

Absentmindedly my fingers began to tug on his small curls, eliciting a soft moan from him and before things could go forward, everything blanked out!

The most important funda of my life is 'I saw it, I liked it, I got it!'

I came to this club as I am planning to buy it. At a young age, I used to come here with my friends and it was only then that I decided to own it, and here I am now to get it!

I always own what I desire, whether it is a property, an asset, or a person!

Because of my tenacity, I am now a millionaire at the age of 32. Apart from my business, I own chains of clubs and hotels and reform them to my liking.

It won't be wrong to say that I am obsessed with my possessions!

I decided to have the conversation with its owner over the bar counter because it was the best place to take in the surroundings and think about things that I wanted to change here.

I was sipping my wine when I felt a hand on my elbow, forcing me to spin around. I turned on my heels and before I could see anything, warm soft petals touched my lips. The sudden and unexpected assault obscured my vision, not allowing my eyes to look at the person who has just attacked me.

The glass that I was holding, slipped through my fingers when I realized that it was a girl who was kissing me forcefully.

Girls always try to seduce me to gain my attention but no one has ever dared to even touch me without my permission. I was taken aback by the bold move of this mysterious girl!

She was standing on her toes to reach my level which caused her to lose her balance and fall back. As an instant reaction, my hands wrapped around her waist and her arms went back to circle around my neck.

She fit perfectly into my arms as if she was meant to be there. Our bodies pressed together, sharing the same type of electricity. Although I could push that girl away but something within me prevented me from doing so and instead of pushing her away, which I should do, I pulled her more into myself.

As we grew accustomed to each other's embrace, our faces tilted and our lips met once more!

The taste of her lips was intoxicating and the sweet scent of her body enchanted me.

My hands moved down to feel her perfect curves. Though I haven't seen her yet but my hands that were moving down her body told me that she has a beautiful figure. For the time being, I forgot where was I or what was my purpose for being there.

And when she gently tugged on my hair, I lost control as this was weakness.

I wanted more from her! All of her!

She started the game but it is I who will end it. Her soft petals have elicited a desire in me that is not going to satiate anytime soon!

But before I could take things forward her body went limp and she collapsed in my arms, her head dangling to one side and a disappointing groan passed through my lips at the loss of touch of her lips. I couldn't even relish them fully.

When her head swung back, I was able to fully appreciate her beauty.

She was as soft as cotton, as white as snow, and as delicate as glass.

Her hair was crashed over her shoulder with a few strands tumbling over her brow. Her saccharine sweet lips that I have just tasted were lilac soft and were slightly swollen.

Her thick eyelashes brushed against her cheeks, and her skin was fair, glossy, and glowing. Her cheeks and nose were tinted light pink, making her even more stunning.

Her long, slender neck was on full display for my eyes, and I desperately wanted to ravish it, taint it with my marks.

It was a treat for my eyes to behold such a lovely sight in front of me.

She appeared to be just like a 'little flower,' petite and delicate.

And now I am certain that I will take two things from here: first, this club, and second, this little flower!
