Chapter 8 - A different kind of deal
1376 Words
Scarlet's P.O.V
We left the party and headed back to Lucian's penthouse, Sebastian driving us through the pouring rain.
Lucian didn't talk to me much, and any of my questions he answered with a single word.
I understood that something was wrong but decided not to question him as usually he would never answer my questions, just twist them and quite often embarrass me.
"Here we go Mr. Cullon, Miss Hyde" said Sebastian as the car stopped.
Sebastian opened the door for us and Lucian and I climbed out onto the pavement.
It was pouring down with rain and was very dark.
A few street lamps were the only light as the lights in the main reception of the building seemed to be off.
"That’s odd" Lucian said.
He walked up and put his key card in the lock, he then pulled on the doors but they wouldn't budge.
Lucian turned around quickly to get Sebastian to help but he had already left.
Lucian turned back to me, we were both already soaking wet and I was pretty sure I resembled a panda.
"I'm gonna call the manager" Lucian growled at me through the pouring rain.
He pulled out his phone from his pocket and walked away from me.
I watched him pacing up and down the street talking on his phone and waving his arms in anger and enthusiasm.
It was pretty much deserted, it was probably past one in the morning and no one but Lucian and I were stupid enough to be out, especially in the awful weather.
I smiled as Lucian walked back over to me.
"Oh English, it seems that we are gonna be locked outside for a while" he said deeply
"Really?" I asked shivering slightly.
"Yes, the manager locked up early due to the storm and he had been told that we were already back. He said the quickest he can be here is in twenty minutes." Lucian scowled.
I nodded and shivered again.
"You cold English?" asked Lucian.
I nodded slowly.
I was drenched, my clothing clung to body and my hair had come out of its elegant up-do and was laying messily around my shoulders.
"Come here" Lucian said holding his arms out.
I hesitated slightly.
"I won't bite" Lucian smiled briefly before his face changed back to its usual scowl.
I nodded and walked towards him.
"Not yet that is" he smirked as he pulled me close to his body.
My back was pressed against his warm chest.
His shirt was soaked through just like my clothing and it clung to his body showing his muscles.
I felt my pulse quicken as he traced his finger over the skin on my neck.
I shivered at his touch.
"Still cold?" he asked
I nodded not wanting to tell him the reason I was shivering was that every time we made contact skin to skin it was almost like he was burning me with his surprisingly gentle touch.
"Its long time to wait, twenty minutes" I said
"Mmm, yeah" Lucian whispered.
I shuddered as his hot breath fanned over my neck sending again shivers down my spine.
"Why did you kiss me?" I asked abruptly
"Because you’re my fiancé and Alec told me to" Lucian growled.
Well at least he answered I thought.
"If Alec told you to jump of a cliff would you do it?" I asked
"So childish English" Lucian breathed out but I could feel him smiling.
"But why did you do it then?" I asked
"As I said before, the reason was because you’re my fiancé and it’s a bit suspicious if I refused to kiss my fiancé" he said.
"Yeah but..." I said but Lucian cut me off.
"Why does there always have to be a reason with you?" he asked.
I shrugged and opened my mouth but before I could speak Lucian had spun me round and pressed his lips to mine.
He scorched my lips and as our mouths moved in sync so did our bodies.
I put my arms around his neck and with ease he lifted me up, I wrapped my legs around his hips as he continued to attack my mouth with his own.
I ran my hands through his hair and moaned softly into his mouth as he bit my lip asking for entrance.
He growled as I slipped my tongue between his lips.
After what felt like days, nights, months, years and centuries passed he placed me down and finally we disconnected.
"What was that?" I asked trying to get my breath back.
"There is no one here to watch us, no friend or party pressuring us to kiss and act like a couple, I’m trying to prove to you that there doesn't need to be a reason my beautiful English" he said
I shuddered as he said those last two words.
No one had called me beautiful before.
"But I suppose I have failed myself because there was a reason I kissed you" he said
"You did more than that" I said and Lucian smirked
"Not only to prove my point English, but also because I wanted to." He said.
Just then a car drove up and parked beside us along the pavement.
A very scared and tired looking manager stepped out.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Cullon, I was told that everyone was in the building already and"
"Just open the door" Lucian growled.
The manager nodded and hurried over to the door, opening it and holding it open for us.
"Thank you, that will be all" said Lucian
The manager nodded and shut the door behind us, he still looked very nervous.
"Up we go English" said Lucian pointing to the stairs
"Why is it that you don't like elevators English, I know you said it was your weird fear but why is it your weird fear?" Lucian asked
"Ah Capre, I will tell you one day" I said
"Capre?" asked Lucian raising one eyebrow at me.
"Yeah Capre, it’s what they call vampires in the Philippines" I said as we reached the top of the stairs.
"Why a vampire though" said Lucian as we walked over to the door.
"Oh well, you just remind me of a vampire, not that I've met one, it’s just your rich, pale, dark and powerful" I said
"And why is it the Philippines, why not in German?" he asked
"Oh my mother was from the Philippines and she used to tell me stories of the Capre seducing young girls and drinking their blood" I said as we walked into the penthouse.
"Well I can certainly pull of the seduction part" said Lucian.
He pulled me close to his body kicking the door closed behind him.
"Lucian, what is this, what are we?" I asked
"Don't question so much English, you are my very hot, fake fiancé and I would like to screw you"
I was shocked at his words.
"Oh now English, don't pretend you don't want to" said Lucian leaning down.
His lips brushed gently over mine and I felt my whole body go floppy as my insides burned with longing that I battled to push down inside of me, to not feel so turned on by his actions.
He kissed my hungrily, so passionately.
But it was over to quickly, way too quickly.
"More" I moaned as he drew back.
"I like this dress" he said as he held me away from his body.
"But I think once worn is enough" he said putting his hands in-between the folds of material at the back and ripping it open.
He ripped my dress right of my body until I was left, just in my underwear.
He picked me up and walked through to his bedroom kissing my neck as we walked.
H through me on the bed and hovered above me.
"One thing English, before anything happens, promise me something?" he asked
"What is it Capre?" I asked him
"Promise you won't start to fall in-love with me" he said
"I promise" I smiled
Technically I never broke that promise, because I had already started to love Lucian Cullon long before then.
