The door was locked. I saw Cameron locked it, or did he? I don’t even care. After a bottle of champagne, two cocktails, and three shots of vodka, why should I care anymore? All I know is there is a warm body, Cameron’s body, in my arms, and his lips are hot.
**Knock Knock**
“I think they are cleaning the restroom. Let’s find another one down the hall,” I heard a voice said that from the other side of the door. I stay quiet until the sound of the footstep disappeared.
Looking up at the man whose idea was to escape into the restroom, his eyes show a childish, playful glint that I find so charming.
“What if we are caught?” I said it against his neck and nibbled it as he laughed. Despite our predicament, he seems to not be in any rush.
“They are welcomed to watch.” He said huskily. He kisses me again. His tongue meets mine, and I moan to the taste of the cocktail that still lingers in his mouth. He is intoxicating, and I am intoxicated by the taste of him. It doesn’t matter that we quarreled bitterly before the ball. What matters is this moment.
His tongue twirls inside my mouth, exploring me, making me need him more. His fragrance envelops me—the burst of the freshness and woody smell of his perfume heightens my desire.
As Cameron’s lips move down to my neck, I unbutton his white waistcoat. His black tailcoat was on the restroom floor minutes ago. The need to touch his skin is immense.
“I bloody hate white tie dress code….” I struggle to unbutton anything at all in this condition.
“But you like looking at me wearing it.” He bit my neck, and I moaned to the feeling of his teeth on my sensitive skin. I let the man be the one leading. He grabs my hands and kisses my fingers; I feel his hot lips and tongue there too.
“Let me do it, Sienna. I believe your dress could grant me access much easier.” There is an arrogant tone to his voice that raises the room temperature. I hate it. But damn me, I know what will follow when he says that.
He pushes me against the cold wall and got on his knees. He gathers the brim of the black chiffon dress in his hand and lifted it up, showing my long thin legs. I wear the red lace underwear I know he likes, and he takes a deep inhale as he sees it.
Cameron hastily pulls it down to my ankle and rushes to my most vulnerable part.
“Ahh….ahh…ahh! Cameron!” I scream his name and grab onto his brown hair. His tongue is touching me there—its tip massaging it and his mouth sucking hard. My other hand clasps my mouth to stop myself from screaming too loud.
“Spread your legs wider, Sienna.” And I comply. I am wet for him, and I need more.
Two fingers intrude inside me as his mouth still sucks my sensitive part. I let out a guttural sound and grit my teeth to prevent the sound from getting too loud.
His hand moves rhythmically and faster by the second.
The room is filled with the sound of his fingers getting in and out of me. I was climbing to the height of passion slowly.
A little bit more. Just a bit faster. Just more….
Then he stops. Instantaneously, I protest.
He stands up to his full height. We are face to face, and I see his face flushed, his lips and jaw wet. His eyes show a burning animal need.
He kisses me, and I taste my own carnal desire.
“Umm…mmm…” I hear the sound of cloth rustling. Cameron steps back again, and I see his pants are down, and he is putting on a condom. My heartbeat accelerates expectantly as I stare at his impressive rod. This is not our first time, but he never fails to impress me.
Cameron strokes his thick member a couple of times before proceeding to lift my chiffon dress up again along with my left leg. He pins me to the wall and enters me in one smooth stroke.
“Ahhhh!” Gosh, that is heaven. I feel nothing else but the heat that keeps building up in the core of my body.
I hear him groan close to my ears, and his guttural sounds mirrored his rough intrusion. Each movement is harsher and more forceful than the last. And I savor every bit of it.
I shift my hip to move along with him until the last stroke when he shudders and lets out a long groan. My eyes are dazed. By instinct, I kiss his cheek to thank him for a magnificent session we just had.
Cameron takes a few minutes to regain his composure.
He smiles at me and helps rearrange my dress and put my hair into place. Cameron is careful not to mess with my hair during our lovemaking. We still need to go out and face Society after all.
“I think I am sober,” I said as I put on my lipstick.
“Then it’s about time we go out and drink more. The night is young. And they brought in a star bartender tonight.” Cameron is styling his hair. He is now looking as immaculate as when we first stepped into the ball.
“How do I look?” I asked, playing with my brunette hair.
“Marvelous. And how do I look?” He asked in a low voice and gave me his good boy smile.
“You look presentable, except…here.” I wipe off the stain of my rogue color lipstick off his neck.
“Now you are perfect.” His eyes narrowed to my rare compliment.
“Shall we go?” I asked.
“After you, madam.” Cameron opens the restroom door, gestures his hand to the way out, and bows. The man could be nice if he chooses. The problem for me is that he often chooses otherwise.
As I walk past the door, I grab his hand and pull him to walk beside me.
We enter the main hall of the Natural History Museum. I look up at the majestic skeleton of the blue whale—being 25 meters in length, it floats majestically in the air and is the centerpiece of the hall.
No one recognizes that we left for a long while. How could they when the music is that loud and the shows are that wondrous?
I sit next to Nora. She is wearing a bohemian sparkly sequined dress; the gleaming brightness of her dress contrasts her sexy tanned skin.“Hello, professor, I’m back. What did I miss? How are our people?” The woman who is sipping red wine gave me a teasing smile. Nora is doing a fellowship in Archaeology. I don’t know much about her work, we have been friends since undergrad in Cambridge, and since we studied different degrees, I did Economics, and she did Archaeology, our career interests are not exactly aligned, but she is good fun at parties and an outstanding museum tour guide. And not to forget, the biggest gossip I have ever known. The girl is observant.“Nothing much. Yvonne went home early since she had an early meeting tomorrow. And before the meeting, she told me she will have a yoga session at 5 AM. Can you believe that girl?” Yvonne is a fashion designer and a business executive. She runs the London office of her family’s luxury brand in Paris. She probably throws herself
Cameron asked me for a dance.While I was enjoying acrobatic shows and a man that pulled out a fire-breathing stunt, Cameron walked up to me and asked for the honor of a dance. I look to Nora. She must have seen this played out a thousand times between him and me. The usual charade of will-they-won’t-they nonsense. Cameron was my serious boyfriend of three years in Cambridge. I’m not sure who fell out of love first or after which time we broke up. But the physical attraction still stubbornly lingers.Cameron is part of the polo club, and that is the reason I am here. In fact, all our friends here met in a college polo club. I quit a long time ago. When I flew back to New York soon after my graduation, there was no need to continue the sport. My focus was on my career.He has always been a good dancer. His one hand is on my waist, and one hand is holding my palm. I let him take the lead. The blinking blue, white, and yellow flash in the ballroom starts to make me dizzy. I hold on tight
“It’s our five years anniversary today, and you are not showing up?” I tried to keep myself calm, but Sophia must have been joking when she told me she had an important meeting to attend this evening.“Do you know how hard it is to book this restaurant? It took me three months! Three months, Sophia! And all you have to do is just to show up. Just one job, and you can’t even do that?” I closed my eyes. I tried not to cry. But disappointment was an ugly monster I couldn’t get rid of.I know this meeting was important to her. It was probably her investors changing the time of the meeting unexpectedly. Again. And I knew how much our company needed more money to stay afloat at this stage of expansion.“Baby, come on, don’t be like this. I need this meeting. WE NEED this meeting. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for our company. They love the pitch and want to discuss finer details. I just need to be there to clarify a few things. And besides, all I said was I will be late, but I will
Sex with Sophia that night was a phenomenon.She was all over me after I said yes.I said yes. Not to marriage. That question was never asked. But to fly across the ocean and build a name for our business in London.She was usually too tired to touch me, and we hadn’t had sex in months. She used to reject my advances just because there was a meeting the day after. And she rarely looked at me like that after our first year together. The glint of lioness hunger in those pairs of dark brown eyes.She didn’t even wait until after we paid the bill. She just left a couple of hundred-dollar bills that were probably twice the price of the meal and tips on the table. The restaurant toilet was where Sophia led me to. We were lucky it was late, and most of the guests had left.She pushed me against the wall in this tiny restroom stall, fondled my breast, and sucked it after she quickly unzipped my dress. Access wasn’t difficult since I didn’t wear a bra.I gritted my teeth to stop the sound of a
The sound of a siren is blasting through the quiet night in Spring. My hands are shaking, and I am sobbing uncontrollably when the paramedics carry Cameron into the emergency ambulance. He lost a lot of blood and was unconscious by the time any help arrived. He is soon rushed to the nearest hospital as I am tended by a paramedic to see if I am hurt. I see blood everywhere—blood on his waistcoat, blood on both my hands and arms, blood on the cobblestone ground. Nora runs out to see me, along with some party guests that are alarmed by the noises and commotion of the tumultuous incident. I hope she can hug me, giving some comfort, tell me it will all be okay, or this is all a dream. But she does not touch me. She can’t. I’m covered in Cameron’s blood. My black dress conceals the severity of the stain with its darkest of night color, but I feel the sticky liquid drying up, and it clings to my skin. “Madam, here is some water. Please sit down, so we can do a che
I landed at Heathrow Airport and waited for Kyle to pick me up. A few key members of my team had already landed a week earlier, and they helped set up our office in Canary Wharf. I was given a list of people to meet and piles of paperwork to run through.Trying not to think of work, I looked around. London was the same gloomy and gray city I remembered—the rain, the wind, the cold—and I loved it so.Back when I was at Cambridge, I got on a train to London every other weekend. The city had its own magic with all the wonderful place I loved. Oh, how I missed the museums, parks, clubs, pubs, and malls. And the activities and parties I attended were memorable. Or arguably unmemorable since I lost half of the memories from drinking way too much. Typical college kid.It didn’t take me long until I spotted Kyle walking toward me. Wearing a black turtleneck and a long gray coat, his wavy brown hair, poetic brown eyes, and confident strides caught the e
I couldn’t reach Sophia all day today. In fact, I found it difficult to talk to her all week. She only had 5-10 minutes of quick phone calls for me every other day. Quite possibly, the new investors demanded all her time and attention. I logged on to view our shared calendar, and my suspicion was correct. Poor Sophia’s schedule was full; her first meeting started at 7 AM, and some work was scheduled until midnight. Sophia scheduled everything down, even her 15 minutes nap. All I could do was texting her words of encouragement and send her gifts. I kept my phone in my black purse as I reckon my ride had arrived. Kyle came to pick me up again, and we were going to Cynthia’s house party. The dress code is business casual, so I left with the clothes I wore to work—a teal woman-tailored trouser suit and white cotton shirt. Kyle complimented
Palo Alto, USAI had always thought of myself as a monogamist, one of those people with a delicate sensibility receptive to their partner’s feelings and held high considerable unbreakable honor.Sienna had been gone for almost a week now. And loneliness was a devil of pain.Every minute of my life was meticulously planned. An addiction to productivity was a real disorder I proudly had. But succumbing to a routine is better than total free time without anything to do of value.That funding the investors had given us came with strings. Sienna helped with some of those, but the burden fell hard on my shoulders. I was elated by the opportunities but devastated by the workload. It might take a few months to get used to the pace after all.I was eager to forget it all for a few minutes a day over drinks at the office. But then I received a text. I responded. As I had done in the past few weeks, I responded.I didn
