Trapped By The Devil

01 — Love Of My Life

"Noah, this is more than enough," I told my boyfriend, who was helping me move to my new place. I bought a new apartment from my savings at 'La Bellé Square'.

Noah had the keys to my previous rented apartment. And while I was at work yesterday, he went there and took it upon himself to pack all my belongings in cardboard boxes.

Then he shipped those boxes to my new apartment also. He was the most caring, loving, and, most importantly, protective boyfriend I ever had. But he was also such a baby when it came to stubbornness.

Noah came to fetch me from my workplace and gave me a surprise with his presence. He then drove me to La Bellé. Curiously I asked him what was going on, and followed him to my apartment. There I received my second surprise: 'my stuff being scattered all around the living area.

Now he wants to help me decorate and arrange all the stuff. I can't let him do everything on his own. He has helped me enough and I don't want to be a girlfriend who relies on her boyfriend too much.

"Noah, baby, you helped me enough, really... But now, darling, I want you to take a rest. I have an off day tomorrow. I will manage."

I said and planted a kiss on his lips while standing on my tippy-toes.

"Are you sure?"

He asked, snaking his hands around my back and leaning his forehead on mine.

I again left a peck on his lips and assured him not to worry. However Noah being Noah; he decided to stay the night, and I couldn't stop him.

After an hour, I asked him, "Where are my clothes?" Noah pointed towards a trolley bag. I opened it and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie. After washing my face, I changed my office clothes right in front of him.

"Don't tease me, Clara." Noah's voice turned rough, but I also love to tease him. Mischievously I unclipped my bra and tossed it right on his face.

Noah closed his eyes, resisting the urge to throw himself on me. He must have thought that now I am decently dressed, but when he opened his eyelids, I was still half-naked.

To tease him even more, I winked and lowered myself to remove the leggings I was wearing. But I hastily put on the hoodie because now he was on his feet. I tried to evade him by running around the scattered cardboard boxes, but it wasn't helpful.

Noah's giant legs helped him catch up to me. He grabbed me from behind and lifted me up, spinning us around. Noah's laughter rumbled across the room at my expense.

"No..no..no, put me down, please, babe, I don't want to fall."

I screamed when he didn't stop. Although I know he wouldn't let me fall, my fear overcame my trust.

"No, nope, nada. This is a payback."

Noah flipped me over his shoulder and smacked my buttocks.

"Babe, please. I won't do it again."

I begged, and then he put me down but his hands remained over my hips. My head was spinning and I felt like the room was also spinning.

"Next, the punishment will be more than this."

Noah threatened and walked back to the sofa where he had been sitting. I stuck out my tongue at him but still went to sit on his lap.

I ordered pizza, fries and coke for dinner. Noah informed me that he had items in the aforementioned boxes that I could find. I nodded and rested my head on his chest.

He was chatting with his friends about the football match. When he noticed me reading his texts, Noah asked me if I wanted to join, but I declined. I didn't want to be the third wheel or the type of girl who tagged along everywhere her man goes.

It's not like I don't know his friends; I do know them very well; they are like brothers to me also. And if people saw us together, they would assume they are my friends rather than his. But I like to maintain my boundaries.

"I'll get it"

I stopped Noah when the doorbell rang. And got up to receive the food package.

Noah came and helped me with the packages. We enjoyed our meals and chatted about our day. Today he took a day off from his dad's office to give me a surprise.

I told him about my company being sold to someone, so I might be busy these days if I want to keep my job. Because the first thing new bosses do is prefer to change half of the staff.

"Why don't you join Dad's office?"

He suggested. I looked at him and smiled appreciatively, knowing that he really cared about me. But even if I wanted to join his company, it wasn't feasible.

"I wish I could, Noah, but I have a contract here and your company is completely out of my field."

I glanced at him while explaining to him, I didn't want to hurt him, but it was the reality.

I work as a magazine editor, and Noah's company is in manufacturing. He nodded and kissed the top of my hand. He told me his doors were always open for me.

After dinner, I cleaned the plates and went to the master bedroom. Noah was already there. I grabbed my laptop from the bag, intending to work on some pending file, but before I could log in to it, he snatched it playfully and placed the laptop on his side of the bed.

Noah pulled me down to his level and placed his leg over mine, effectively trapping me between him and the bed. My fingers ran through the path from his biceps to his broad shoulders and, at last, to his cute pink lips.

I consider myself lucky to have him in my life, and I always will be. Noah never made me feel alone. He was always there, whether it was a happy or sad day.

I leaned in and initiated the kiss, and he eagerly responded. Soon I was over him, straddling him, but my weight didn't faze him a little bit. Noah's hand crept under my hoodie and connected to my skin.

His thumbs were making a small sensual circle beside my bosom. And my fingers unconsciously went up to his unruly hair, becoming entangled in the strands.
