Chapter 12— Raged with Desire

"So Mr cutie what do you do for a living?" Lara asked with a drunken voice.

"Uh– I might as well can't recall!"

They laughed crookedly. "Look what you made me do, I think we're both drunk!" Ryan said with fallen eyes.

"Yeah we're sooo drunk", she laughed again.

"I work with the police department".

"Oook so you're a police officer!"

"Nope, Federal Bureau of Investigation", he smiled weirdly.

"How do we go home?" Lara asked with her eyes hovering around the bar.

"I can't drive, I'll just holler a cab!"

"Yeah that'll be best!" She nodded in agreement.

Ryan searched his back pockets for some cash, then he brought out a few notes and slapped them on the table as payment. He cleared his throat and stood up to leave.

"Hey Eleanor, it was nice meeting you!" He waved at her and began to walk away.

"Actually why don't we get a cab together? I'm going the-same way as you are!" Lara jumped out of her seat and ran after Ryan. She slipped her palm into his own and Ryan held on to it without a thought.

They stood outside the bar in the dark, for a few minutes waiting for a cab to come their way and finally a yellow car stopped in front of them and they hopped in.

Ryan had left his car parked in front of the bar all because he had to much to drink.

Soon they arrived at Ryan's destination, the yellow car halted in front of a Brownstone Townhouse, the streets were beautifully lit up with street lights that almost took out all the darkness of the night away, there were lined up trees on every front yard and the streets were silent as a desert!

"Thanks, I'm paying for her too. Keep the change!" Ryan spoke with a deep slow voice and gave the driver some cash and stepped out of the vehicle.

"Hey take it easy, I think you're way more drunk than I am!" Lara jumped out of the car and grabbed on to Ryan's hand as a supporting guide. "Why don't I walk you in, I'll see to it that you're inside safely without tripping on them stairs!" She quickly suggested with a convincing voice and a bright smile.

Tap! She tapped on the taxi with her palm signaling him to drive off without her, and the driver obeyed. He sped off without a thought.

"Heyyy, I'm not that drunk!"

"Yeah I know, but I still can't let you off by yourself, come on let's go inside!"

They walked into a door that led to a staircase, Ryan gave the directions for them to go upstairs, they climbed through three staircases and took a left to another door.

Quickly, Ryan brought out a key from his pockets and unlocked the wooden door. Lara continued to follow him closely and this time she was inside his apartment.

It had a spacious living room, with wooden brown chairs on every corner of the room, the house was painted in white and it had brown wooden doors leading to different sections of the apartment. It was a mixture of brown and white along with a sense of warm, cozy and antique.

"This is nice!" Lara commented as her eyes searched around the house.

"Yeah! It's my escape room— escape from the world out there!" Ryan replied with a smile.

Lara took the keys from him and locked the door from inside.

Ryan only stared at her with a little of confusion. She rested her back on the door and stood there looking into Ryan's eyes with her golden brown eyes disguised with contact lenses. She blinked her eyelashes at Ryan innocently without a word and Ryan understood.

He went over to her, grabbed her waist and pulled her to his chest with a force and Lara smiled with her red lips.

He bent over to her face and brushed her lips with a soft kiss, Lara felt his warm breath on her lips with her eyes still closed.

Ryan continued to tease her with slight kisses while stroking her hair.

"Kiss me already!" Lara exhaled with wanting.

"If I do, I won't let you go!" He whispered to her face.

"Yes, kiss me, I wanna stay!" She nodded.

Ryan waited for no other invitation— he pushed his lips into her's and sucked on them without a conscience.

Instantly they were raged with desire!
