CARA
The moment the door opened, I sat up on the bed, facing him. I had made my decision. I was going to play along with whatever it was he was offering. I mean, it was going to give me the edge I needed, to be close to him.
But once I saw his face, my mind went to other places. It was like he had transformed to this other person, right in front of me. His lips...his eyes... everything looked clearer to me now.
The man was handsome...sexy even. How had I not seen this before. And the way he was looking at me now..
Something had definitely changed in the he few minutes he had left the room to talk to his mother.
I licked my dry lips, suddenly feeling hot, even if the room was well ventilated. "Where is you mum, and your..eh.. other guests?" I asked, stammering as my throat suddenly felt dry and closed off.
What was happening to me?
One minute I was thinking about writing an article to bring the man down, and the next, I was thinking about how those lips would feel against mine.
Adrian did not remove his face from mine. He held it until he was sitting on the bed with me, leaning just a few inches between us. I licked my lips again, unable to tear my gaze away.
Someone had to give, but I found out that that person wasn't going to be me. I was lost in his eyes.
Was he feeling what I was feeling too?
"They left. Uhmm...My brothers took everyone out for lunch." He answered, flickering his gaze down to my lips for the barest of moments, then back to my eyes again. I saw him swallow.
"so...there is no one in the house?" I asked. Gosh. Why had I even asked that?
Adrian shook his head, inching closer to me, slightly. I could almost feel the warmth coming from his body. Not almost..I could..
"Its just you, and I. Elena is out." And then he looked at my lips again. This time, he didn't remove his gaze from them. "Forgive me Cara, but I want to kiss you." He said, and before I could say anything, his lips met mine.
There was definitely no particular way to describe what I was feeling because it was out of this world. I felt a lot of things at once. Arousal hit deep within me. It felt like I had been waiting for his kiss my whole life. For someone as hard as he looked, his lips were definitely soft and tender against mine.
I inclined my head to the side, giving him more access to my lips, so he could deepen the kiss. Adrian's tongue delved into mine, and I welcomed it with the same energy, allowing our tongues to meet.
I moaned when he pulled back, drawing my bottom lip gently, before releasing me.
"I've been meaning to do that for some time now." he said, smiling at me.
This was the first time I had seen him smile, and the way his eyes crinkled beneath was just so adorable.
"Well, it wasn't a bad kiss." I teased. I don't know how, but I felt so comfortable around him. so much that I almost forgot why I was here.
Adrian raised his brow at me. "Wasn't a bad kiss? we would see about that." he said, and lunged for me. This time, it wasn't just an okay kiss. it was a toe curling kiss.
ADRIAN
Now that air around us was a little bit more comfortable, I was ready to ask her. And I hoped I wasn't making a mistake.
"There is something I want to talk to you about." I started. "More like a favor." I waited for her to gesture for me to continue, sighing when she nodded and raised a brow.
