WILL POWER

   

CHAPTER 5:WILLPOWER.

*SOPHIA*

"You've been mine a long time ago... I was just too hesitant to do something about it but I'm telling you now....you have to agree to those three months of being my wife and I can assure you that after those months,you won't want to go anywhere.If you still don't agree to that...then I won't go ahead with the marriage stuff... I'm going to take you captive"

I don't know what to say.

I should say something...I should argue with him...I can't stay with him for three whole months but I know this man can possibly do anything he deem fit.

He's offering to take me in as his wife or as a slave.

I can't believe I have to chose between the two options.

If I wanted to run away,I need a lot of money to do so.... I needed to go to a country extremely far away from here but I don't have that kind of money to stay in hiding.

I'm sure Raul doesn't too.

He barely just started working.

His hand moved further along my scalp,the glide of his fingers sending my senses spinning and my willpower wilting like a daffodil in the desert.

"What do you say,Sophia?"His voice was rich,dark,honey and gravel swirled together.

I could feel his body just inches away from me,his tall frame like a powerful magnet, pulling my body, drawing it inexorably towards his.

My lips were suddenly so dry,they felt like cardboard but I didn't moisten them because he might think I wanted him to kiss me.

Or did I?

Damn it!

I do want him to kiss me.

Wanted.

Wanted.

Wanted.

But no way was I going to let him know that.

This is someone I'm supposed to change his mind about me.

I would get my willpower back in line.

Right here.

Right now.

I glanced at his mouth.

Where the hell was my flipping willpower?

Why did he have to have such beautiful mouth?

Sculptured and firm and yet the lower lip had a sensual fullness to it that my mouth,and other parts of my body, remembered with a frisson of excitement.

"Stop touching me"I pleaded, faintly.

His eyes darkened and a knowing smile lifted one corner of his mouth and his fingers shifted back to my nape to toy with the underside of my hair.

A sensation shimmied down my spine like a warm flow of melted caramel, gathering in a hot whirlpool between my thighs.

His gaze went to my mouth and back to my eyes and back again as if he were in the process of deciding whether to kiss me or not.

A normal human being would push this man away.

But it turns out that I stopped being normal five minutes ago.

Every nerve in my lips prepared itself.... leaping and dancing and clapping their hands in anticipation.

Every cell of my body vibrated with a hum of primal longing.

My hand moved on it's accord and as I'm about to put them on his neck....he moved back.

He suddenly looked so scared as if I was about to slit his neck or something.

And I can't fucking believe that I felt disappointed that he didn't kiss me.

After a second,he seemed to pull himself together and had a cold look on his eyes again.

"I'll expect your answer tomorrow.I would warn you again not to push your luck, Sophia.I'm quite busy today so we can meet up tomorrow"

I'm too disoriented to even argue with him.

*DAMIEN*

I had to pretend to be on the phone the moment Sophia walked into my office.

I was desperately trying to prevent myself from leaping over the desk, hauling her into my arms and kissing her senseless.

I wanted to place her on my fucking table and fuck her till she's raw and sore.

Till she finds it unable to walk.

There's this thing I feel when I see her.

It makes me feel like someday soon, I'll be okay.... I'll be able to live like a normal human being.

I've never really gone close to her physically since that night three years ago.

Seeing her this close again was priceless.

I can't tell her that I'm Griffin... I don't want her to stay with me because I saved her life.

I want her to stay, willingly and I know that after the three months offer I gave to her....she wouldn't want to leave her life of luxury for that rat....that church rat.

For a brief moment, I wanted to kiss her....but I couldn't help but flinch when she almost touched me.

I knew she had wanted me to kiss her

I know she finds me attractive and I'm going to have fun seducing my little Sophia.

I could be a hearts and flowers type of guy.

That wouldn't be hard, right?.

But I hate poetry.

I don't like flowers.

I suck at expressing my feelings to anyone.

Jeez...this really might be hard.

How did Prince Charming manage to get Cinderella to fall in love with him?

I could really use some tips.

*RAUL*

Jesus fucking Christ!

"What do you mean you want to agree to be his wife?"

"I don't know what else to do,Raul.My father is on his side and he won't change his mind. If I can get away from this place,far away to my place where my father can't hurt me if I don't agree to this,then I will but you and I know that there's no way I can get far away from this place"

Fuck!

This is what happens when you ain't rich.

A rich bastard is about to take my woman away from me and I can't do shit.

I can't even run away with her because I ain't got enough cash right now to move far away from here.

I love her so fucking much.

Tears stung my eyes but I look away.

She placed her hands around my neck.

"I can't lose you, Sophia. I love you too much"

"What do we do?"She asked, confused.

I'm getting money to leave this country either by hook or by crook and she's not living with that motherfucker for three months.

"Go on with the wedding plans,baby"I urged.

She stared at me, surprised."Really?"

"Yeah...I just need a month... by then, I'll have enough money for us to leave this country"

"How?"She asked, confused.

I forced a smile out of me.

"I have my ways.For this one month...I need you to fight him every step of the way... don't let him touch you."

She smiled up at me."You don't have to tell me that twice"

I grinned.

I trust my girl, completely.

"I love you, Sophie"I breathed pulling her into my arms.

"I love you,more"

Rich guys don't get to have everything.

Damien O'Connell had just messed with the wrong guy.

Sophia's mine.

I have been the only man who has ever been inside of her.

I fucking popped her Cherry.

She loves me....just me.

Nothing's gonna change that.
