ADRIAN’S POV
I could no longer control myself and I just wanted to feel her lips on mine, I just wanted my tongue inside her mouth and to be honest, I wanted to put a lot of things inside her. I hadn’t been kissed with such a passion in such a long time if ever, there was something about this girl, and whatever it was, it was making me fall deeper and deeper for her. I couldn’t imagine my life without her and yet she wasn’t mine to keep…yet. I had every intention of making her permanently mine and judging by the way she responded to my kiss, I knew that she was already mine even though she didn’t know it yet.
“I am sorry about that, I know that was too forward of me,” I said after I let go of her and it kind of felt like she didn’t want me to. This meant that I was on the right track and she wanted me as much as I wanted her.
I could tell that all she wanted was to get out of my car after I let her go and I could understand why she felt uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, I loved the fact that she was uncomfortable because that showed me that she wasn’t an ‘easy’ woman. I couldn’t help admiring her innocence. How could a girl that worked in the strip club act the way she was acting? She was acting like me putting my lips on hers was embarrassing (or was it the fact that she had allowed me to without fighting me off) or it was that she had never been kissed before today.
”I have to go,” she said, struggling to open my door handle, and I leaned over to her side to open the door for her, and I could literally hear her heart pounding on her chest. She was very nervous. I could have just gone out of the car and opened the door for her but I just wanted to take every opportunity that I could to get close to her and I wished I could touch her some more.
She probably didn’t even know what to do with all the feelings that she was feeling, or maybe I had been too forward to kiss her but I wanted her so badly and I had lost all self-control. I didn’t only want her sexually, I wanted her to be in my life and once she was, I was willing to make her the center of everything. Natasha deserved the best in life and I was going to be the one to introduce her to the life that she deserved.
“Thank you for tonight,” I said again as she ran out of my car and didn’t even look back. I smiled as I watched her run to her door. I was just impressed by how she had gone from being the saddest stripper at The Bliss Corner to being a shy high school girl.
I kind of wished she could invite me in and introduce me to her mother, but who would she introduce me as? I certainly wasn’t a Romeo and I was probably the worst guy a girl could ever introduce to her mother. I couldn’t imagine there were a lot of girls that met their soul mates at the club while stripping and dancing for them.
Yes, I knew that she was my soul mate.
Still, I wanted to know more about her and I was determined to get her to open up to me even more.
Just then, I was startled by my phone ringing and it was Joseph, without even answering my phone. I already knew that he just wanted to know how my night with Natasha went.
“What is it?” I asked him as I answered my phone.
“What kind of a question is that? You didn’t come home, we were all concerned” he said, and I almost laughed, but I didn’t. Who did he think I was to ask me where I had spent the night? I understood that he was coming from a place of concern but there were some boundaries that he wasn’t allowed to cross and demanding answers from me or demanding to know my whereabouts was one of them.
“You know better than anyone else that I can take care of myself. Just admit that the only reason you were looking for me is that you wanted to know how it went,” I said and I could hear him sigh.
“Fine…how did it go?” he asked “I know you are smiling wherever you are, which means it must have been that good. Especially because you didn’t come home,” he said, “ you had your fun, and now it’s time to let it go…its time to let her go and stop playing with this fire.”
“I am on my way home right now,” I said clearing my throat and dismissing his last comment.
“Just don’t catch any feelings” he warned, and I hung up before he got another chance to say something else.
I really wanted to tell him that his warning came a little too late because I was already in too deep feelings for this girl. However, I knew my best friend and he was going to freak out once I told him that I was in love with Natasha and I wanted to be with her. Anybody in his position would think I was completely out of my mind if they discovered that I had fallen in love with Natasha the stripper while I had someone like Victoria by my side.
Let's just say Victoria was not one to cross paths with and the only thing I feared about being with Natasha was the fact that Natasha might not have had thick skin to deal with her. However, I was getting ahead of myself, because I still had to win Natasha over. Then I would start worrying about keeping her safe after that.
