Chapter 4

Hello stranger

Gustavo (Pov)

I know coming was a mistake, but I felt I left things back at the office on the wrong foot, I needed to set things right, I hate hurting her, but sometimes she leaves me no choice. I stared at the door that was just being shut in my face, I should have responded, I should have said something, why couldn't I, of course am hers, and forever will be. My whole body ached, today was a lot, I thought seeing her would ease some of my pain and ache, but instead, it just added to it.

(Gemini pov)

The car was moving at full speed, Avina the mixed Asia beauty face radiating pure euphoria

“Tonight’s going to be epic” Avina yelled, her dark hair dancing in the wind

“Hey, be careful” Benson yelled, slamming the brake as the speedometer hit 60km. “Don't be reckless, Avina”

“Guys, I still wanna live” Penelope clutched onto me for support. “ this was a bad idea, we should have taken a cab, these two are InSane

For two years Benson and Avina had been inseparable since they met at an underground rave. He couldn't stop yapping about her, as if love had consumed his very being, and now racing through the night, it was evident that they were a perfect fit

“Benson, are you for real” I chipped in, I still felt drained and heartbroken after the little drama that transpired between me and Gustavo but I wasn't going to let that ruin my fun and also I didn't wanna die

“ relaxed G, I got this under control, right babe,” he said as he kissed Avina passionately in front of Penelope and I

“Ewe, gross, Ben” Penelope said her face irritated

“Get a room, guys” I chipped in

Benson suddenly parked in front of Club Hotburn as it was boldly displayed on the headboard. We all got out, the line seemed long but Benson always had his way of getting us in.

“Hey man,” Benson said as he complimented the big hefty bouncer that stood outside. Benson offered him cash as he smiled and let us all in

“Still got it” he beamed full of pride

“Oh, let's say we give it up for bento” Penelope hailed him

I couldn't help but laugh, being around these guys was priceless

As we stepped in we were greeted by a pulsating beat that resonated throughout the space. The dimmed light sets the mood, creating an atmosphere that is both lively and intimate. The air is filled with a mix of excitement, anticipation, and the scent of fragrant perfume as the crowds mingle and dance to the rhythm of the music.

Benson and Avina dancing to the beat took off to the dancing floor.

“ wanna dance, my fair lady,” Penelope said in a chivalry way, her hand stretched out

A smile formed on my face, as I took her hand. “Why not” We both head to the dance floor, dancing and feeling to the beat of the rhythm as the DJ takes control of the decks, seamlessly transitioning between genre and tracks that resonate with the crowd's mood keeping them on their feet and moving to the beat

Feeling tipsy and alive, I headed to the bar for water.

“A glass of water” I yelled over the deafening music. I scanned the crowd, my eyes locked on a figure in the VIP section. He held my gaze, unmoving.

The dangerous aura radiated from him, his black vintage shirt fitting perfectly on his muscular frame. his wild hair added to the seductive chaos. With the club's colorful LED light blurring his eyes, his intoxicating presence ruined my senses

He suddenly stood up and made his way toward me, I tried to avoid his approach as I faced the bartender, embarrassment washing over me, he stood beside me, and his cologne filled my nose. A scent that enticed

“ hello love, care if I buy you a drink,” his voice was low, raw, alluring and sent shivers down my spine

I choked on my water, what was wrong with me, get your shit together Gemini, I smiled, now facing him

“I think I have had too many tonight, I pass” I drank all my water in one full sip

His eyes stare at the glass, and a sly grin appears on his face. “ do you want that filled up” he asks, his eyes cold but yet mild staring at me, not moving an inch

“What” My head was a mess, who was he and what was he doing to me

“ your water love, you look thirsty” My eyes followed his as I stared at the glass in my hand, shy and embarrassed, I let go of the glass,

“Am good” I bit my lower lips in uneasiness, his finger gently touching my lip as he caressed it softly, he leaned closer and whispered

“Stop biting”.

My breath seized as my whole world crumbled before me, I held onto the bar table for support as he held me by my waist, in an attempt to save me from falling, I don't know who he was or cared about it either but whatsoever he was doing to me, I wanted more.

I grabbed onto his neck, his eyes searching mine, I wanted this man, I wanted to feel him, kiss him, I wanted him inside of me. I yearn to be consumed by his presence

“ want to go somewhere private” I heard myself asking

A mysterious grin appeared on his face, his brows furrowed as he pulled me up.

“Where to love” he was closer, his warm breath filled with whiskey brushed off my skin sending shivers down my spine.

“ do you have a car” I fumble with my hair

He gently moved a strand of my hair from my face, he was beautiful, like a sculptured art.

“A car? I do” he dangles his keys in my face. “ shall we” he steps aside as I walk passed him toward the exit door

I stood outside, as the cold night breeze brushed against my face. He stood beside me, his imposing status giving off a seductive posture.

“ where's the car” My eyes search around the parking lot

He leaned behind me, his breath warm on my neck as he directed my eyes toward a black beauty, his car was just like him, it radiated power, sophistication, and prestige. I turned my face towards his, who was he and why did I feel this way towards a stranger, with Gustavo, it was calm, but with him, it was more than I ever requested.

“What do you say, we take it for a ride love” his words brushed off my skin as he confidently strolled toward the parked car, effortlessly unlocking it. Anticipation crackled in the air as I found myself being drawn towards him, my heels echoing with each step on the well-tiled floor.

Without hesitation, I approached him, feeling the heaviness of his presence enveloping the car. The door sealed shut behind me, and he settled into the driver's seat. The click of his keys blends with the pulsating song that now fills the car.

“Hold on love,” he said as he stole one final glance at me, a mischievous smirk curled his sculpted lips as He drove off at full speed.

My eyes could not help but stare at his tattoo, it was beautifully drawn on his left hand upwards towards his chest area, as a slight opening of his vintage shirt exposed a little area of his built torso

“ so where are we going” I asked as I tried to peek outside the tainted glass

“Scared now, love” his voice mocking as he kept his eyes on the route. “ don't worry, I won't bite” he smiled, beautiful dimples appearing on his cheeks

We arrived. My eyes fixated on the towering skyscraper, its every window radiating a luster glow. He passed his car key to the security guy, then grasped my hand tightly, guiding me towards the opened space lobby. Standing before the elevator, anticipation surged through me, my heart pounding. As the numbers decreased downward, a satisfying chime echoed, and we stepped inside

“Nice penthouse” I managed to say, trying to break the silent and awkward lift. He said nothing, his expression cold as he focused on the number leading to the top floor. My throat felt dry as I tried to brace myself, what was his problem, one minute he was flirting, then the next minute he was cold.

As the elevator door opens, he walks out and heads toward a huge mahogany wooden door, I have lived enough in many of dad vacation houses to see one of these. The door was a piece of art itself as it showcased meticulous craftsmanship, floral motifs, and geometric patterns, displaying a fusion of classical and contemporary design.

He unlocks it as we step in, the living room is designed to maximize comfort and sophistication, featuring plush furniture, a Morden day fireplace, and state-of-the-art entertainment systems. It was perfect.

“Follow me” he gave out a commanding statement. I froze, I was not his puppet for him to tell where to go or where not to go, what was his deal? He halted when he noticed I wasn't behind him.

“ what are you doing, this way”.

Unable to resist my overwhelming curiosity, I couldn't help but trail after him as he gracefully unlocked the door, and walked in, my feet led me into his bedroom, meticulously crafted with an artistic touch. A cascaded curious glance swept the room, scanning for his presence until my eyes laid on him, he stood tall and shirtless as he poured himself a glass of whisky, his shirt sprawled on the huge bed, he oozed an undeniable attraction that undeniably beckoned me in.

“Care for a drink,” he asks as he slowly walks toward me, he is close now, and I stare at his tattooed bare body

“No thanks, am fine” I politely declined, feeling satisfied with my current state. The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly stifling and uncomfortable. I took off my leather jacket casually tossing it onto a nearby couch. As our gazes locked, his piercing frosty eyes levied me. With panic bubbling inside, I desperately wish for some sort of intervention.

Intrigued, his hand ventured towards my neckline, gently caressing my skin. Drawing closer, his seductive hazelnut eyes intensified, fixated on my lips. Succumbing to his desires, he passionately pressed his mouth against mine, causing me to uncontrollably moan in satisfaction. Simultaneously his hands found their way to my thigh, effortlessly lifting me and placing me on the table nearby.

His fingers swiftly slid beneath my red-laced panty, creating a space for him to play with my intimate area. The unexpected sensation overwhelmed me as he slyly thrust his finger inside, instigating a gasp to escape my lip. A wicked grin plastered across his face, his gaze fixated on mine

My fingers dug into his bare skin as he hit a particularly sensitive spot, pushing me closer to the edge. The intensity became unbearable; he was driving me to the brink of orgasm, without hesitation, he swiftly unzipped his pants, but then paused, gripping my hand tightly. I stared at him intently, enthralled by his cold yet suddenly luminous eyes with a soft and delicate whisper, he continued….

“I want you to beg for it love” My world stopped as a devilish grin appeared on his lip, with a hot sensation erupting inside of me, my breath quickened.

“ Fuck me please”.
