Billionaire gangster falls for a single Mom.

A sweet kiss.

The evening had settled down, and we ate in silence. It was not particularly busy, but I noticed a girl or two walking through a corridor, peering at us, and then returning to wherever they came from. I really needed a tour of the hotel, but Bravyn didn't seem to think about that for now; he was excited to be around me, and at the moment nothing else really mattered.

"Do you need more wine?" Bravyn asked,trying to pour more champagne into my glass. But I was done. Drinking more than I have already done will be harmful to me.

"If only I could get somewhere to lie down," I stated. "I have been sitting for hours and my body is aching!"

"I'm sorry,let me check on Gainty. I need him to send me to a location near your hotel so I can drop you off and assess the standards to see if they are appropriate for my woman!" He clicked and smiled at me.

"I cannot choose,and I fit everywhere; for God's sake, it should not bother him much!" I said. I was hoping it was true. He had agreed to take me to a different hotel.

"It's for me then. I have to check in on you now and then, and I can not go to certain places." He shrugged his shoulders. He was arrogant and full of pride. He had his own limitations on the places he should go.

"Why not? If they are safe, I don't think it's a big deal!" I answered, raising my brows at him. You could have seen his face; it was like he had seen something unpleasant and was about to puke.He was thinking about those other places he couldn't go.

Ooh, location sent." He murmured, stood up, reached for his coat, then came to me and helped me out of the chair.

When I stood up, I was amazed. I was inebriated and could not walk straight. I tried hard not to sway, and I cursed myself. How could I drink more than I could handle? I forgot I had not taken alcohol for long, and even a little of it would intoxicate me.

"It has been a while; I swear, I would not say I have not had two full glasses," I said to myself rather than to him.

"That's why I'm here; I can carry you." With those words, he swept me off my feet and walked the few meters to the car like I was some feather.

I thought of throwing tantrums and wriggling out of his grip, though he was saving me from staggering. So I relaxed and let myself enjoy his lift. He didn't seem to be a bad guy, but I reminded myself that they are always good and look innocent until they know you fully belong to them, then they start throwing blows, giving you red eyes. That thought alone made me shiver, and my face turned numb.

"What's up? Did I wake up memories you ought to forget?" He asked me. Setting me down and still holding on to me with either hand, he opened the car door and helped me settle into the front seat.

"How do you discern some things? I won't lie, you just did!" I replied and sat down, fastening my seat belt.

Am I becoming a professional in these areas, or have I turned spiritual?" Bravyn widened his eyes, and then he got sad, as cold as a stone. "If someone is bothering you, would you trust me enough to tell me?" .

"Why would I do that? I can fight my fights; I don't need you for security purposes!" I answered that I didn't like how comfortable he was getting. Bashing him was my only option for returning him to normalcy.

He took the driver's seat and ignited the car as we sped off. A few meters away, and he halted unexpectedly, sending Sarah backwards, then forward, and slammed backwards again. She gasped, and he was quick to rub his back.

Then he spoke inaudibly," Damn it, I'm getting reckless. Then he looked at me with fear written in those dark eyes of his and asked," Are you alright? I am sorry, darling; I kind of missed the entrance. I don't know why the devil I halted unexpectedly!" Bravyn was now touching me all over,probably checking if I was fine.

"Don't you dare touch me. I'm fine. You just stepped on those breaks so fast, and I wasn't expecting it.

I trailed off, pushing his hands away from me.

"No, darling, why are you acting this way? I am doing my best to keep you safe. What are you afraid of? Do you think I am not strong enough to follow your heart's desires?" Am I touching you because I am worried and I care for you? Are you afraid that I am more of a gentleman than you thought it would be, that you are scared you're going to fall in love with me?" He spoke angrily. Pushing him away was like an insult to him, and I saw him transition from the Cool and caring Bravyn to some animal I had no name for.

"Why the outburst? You are really conceited, are not you?" "You invited me here, and I have been with you the entire day," I asked, seeing him angry. That was a reflex action of defense."You have limits on how far you can go touching me, you are screaming your bile out, you think I am your property for the evening, well,listen well I am not, I belong to me only, and I do not like men touching me, especially when I am in shock!"

Bravyn gave me a stern look. "And if we are at the hotel, give me the details; I can take myself there!" I continued.

"You've got no name; you don't know this place; do you want to be raped? I thought you feared Play City!" Bravyn gave me a daring stare.

I gasped; he was getting me more angry. I could not help but think that by now, he would be slapping and kicking me in the face or forcing himself on me. He had mood swings. One minute he was a nice guy, the next he was an animal. "You certainly have a lot to learn about women. Not every woman is after your money or whatever promises you make to your women. Some of us have had it with your gender and would prefer to be on our own!"

"I think if you keep doing this, I will be hooked on you forever." In fact, I might fall in love with your argument, is that a temper, my beautiful darling, you can boil!" He calmed down, he was either enjoying the debate or trying to bait me so he could learn a few things about me.

" Am not the fish you are looking for, " I tried to stay calm," Dip your bait to the river again ,you might catch the right fish!" I said and tried to open the door so I could walk to the hotel on my own.

"Please do not do that; you have no idea where you are going, no information about the hotel, and I cannot let you walk out here on your own." Please sit quietly; I do not believe in rape, only seduction, and I will take you safely to your door, believe me!" He said he was holding my hand. The speed with which his arm reached for and covered mine was terrifying. I moved my fingers slightly, feeling as if he was about to break them, and he released his grip on my arm.

Without saying much, he started his Lamborghini and began driving in reverse, and then we veered into a canyon road. A security officer opened the gate for us and he drove slowly, throwing caring glances at me

I cast a sidelong glance at him and leaned back in my chair, pretending he did not exist. I continued to ignore his presence, but he persisted in making faces at me. He was insufferably arrogant, this Bravyn Damien of a guy. Without a doubt, despite his wealth and money, he was rude.

"Why do you want to humiliate me? I know you halted in this car while at high speed, purposefully!" I lamented,wondering if he had any other motive.

"Why do you think every man is out here to take advantage of you? I am a gentleman despite how you feel about me!" He said this as he brought the Lamborghini to a very quiet, smooth stop.

" You got no right to question me ,or expect any answer from me ," I told him . He had locked the car and even after unstrapping my safety belt ,I was still trapped inside.

" But have you noticed there is a kind of connection between us," Bravyn laughed and this froze me ,sending ripples of fear in my spine.

"I need to freshen up again; whatever game you are playing, save it; I do not care about our connection; the champagne might be giving you funny ideas!" I managed to speak out. He was enjoying the look of fear in my eyes. He was trying to prove he was fierce by inflicting fear on me, and he had really succeeded.I was dead afraid.

"I can lather and scrub your back if you give me a chance!" He turned around to face me. I could not run away from him; I was literally trapped.

"I can never be lathered by those filthy hands of yours!" Standing at his hand, I replied...then he closed it over one shoulder and lightly touched it with his fingers. I gasped in terror as he whispered in my ears, "And how filthy do you feel now, when I touch you?"

The next minute, his cold lips were pressed against mine as he continued to caress me with his fingers, and I believe I became engrossed in the emotions of his feathery soft caress. His kiss was nothing I had expected to receive at that moment, but the deeper he sought to go, the more I opened for him, and his kiss did not wait for me to cooperate or return it; he kept on taking and taking more of me, like he was sucking my mouth dry of saliva.

My mind began to spin in swirling spirals, I was exhausted, and my body began to melt and become incapable of resistance. His fingers caressed the back of my neck and moved alongside my face, tilting it up to him, and all the while he held my mouth captive, first harshly, as if he wanted to make a statement that he takes when he wants to, forcing my lips to open for him, then, as if sensing my surrender, he took time to be almost tender kissing the corner of my trembling mouth, going back to cover my lips possesively with his.

Then he started moving his hands to touch my breasts. They were burning, wanting to feel that strong touch after so many years. But that is when I shoved him and yelled, "Please stop, do not go there!"

My body did not feel like mine, and my voice did not sound like mine either. I felt like I was under a spell or high on something. I had to act quickly before the monster took advantage of me.

"Ooh darling, I was right, we needed each other, please let us go to your hotel and continue from there," Bravyn said quietly.

"Don't you dare touch me again?" I shouted, pointing at the door," I need some fresh air from outside. I am choking in here!" .

Choke in a Lamborghini?" .

"Yes, open up!" I yelled. He was still not convinced, and he kept touching me.
