Chapter Eight — Michael.
I followed them. I've been watching the house ever since Mariah informed me of her evening schedule of having a private, cozy time with her husband. She told me about the alarm on James's window, and how they've sneaked out before and might consider doing it tonight.
I rounded off my exercise when she hung up, grabbing a towel to clean my face with. I change into dry clothes and went out to the garden where I had a good view from the window. It took a couple of hours before they snuck out, hurrying as they ran down the road, turned a corner, and into a waiting car. I caught a glimpse of James's smile as he sat back in the car and my hard face lit up too.
I've never figured out why I'm so attracted to him. I've been around jovial and lovely people in my life, even more than darkness but one look at James, and the light came on. He wasn't only warm-hearted and kind but also deep, pure, and handsome. I'm sure I'll never meet anyone else radiating with the innocence and kindness he possessed.
His eyes were gems filled with truth and lit up at me. I knew he saw through me but even then he never ran away. One touch from him and my entire body stiffens in excitement.
What has he done to me? Why do I feel like there's nothing more fulfilling than the seconds I sit beside him? I just want to hold onto him and never let go, caress his hand, and kiss that dip between his neck and collarbones.
I watch them saunter into the club without a hitch as I pull over and get out. The lady makes no comment too and lets me in. This place should be closed down as the people allowed in here are underaged.
I stride down the hallway, music pounding louder as I got closer. Blending into the crowd, I scan the area, trying to locate him. I'm not planning to take him home with me but to make sure he's safe and no one but me touches him.
I stop at an opening that offers me a clear view of him as he lets the beat of the bass music take his slim body. He's got shorts on and they expose his lower thighs but he's oblivious to this as he dances. I order a shot of vodka at the bar, watching him.
Dancing was his stronghold...
His flexible body moves with the dark bass beat as I take a swing from my vodka, squinting as the burn trickles down my throat. I hold onto the table desperately, my legs weakening at his lean seductive body as they shook with vigor, his legs going tipsy-turvy like they had a mind of their own. I'm awe-stricken at the sight, of such mastery, such delicate skin, and such excellent dance prowess that makes me unable to look away.
Bright neon lights are flashing and the heavy metal retro music is deafening but if he happens to yell in that tight stringy voice of his, I'd be up on my feet in action to help him and maybe touch a few things I shouldn't, go mad at his innocence and good looks which he uses to spell me. He's something I shouldn't crave, delicate and glassy like an expensive cup I can't have.
I bring my fist down on the countertop, rattling the half-emptied vodka glass which unfortunately didn't break. I needed to feel something else. To feel annoyed at the feelings coursing through my veins but I couldn't. He'd captured my heart and isn't planning on letting it go any minute. I'd welcome a death greater than this forbidden passion for him. That's if there's anything greater than the trance he has me under.
I'd be his bodyguard.
This thought melts as I push my way over to him, wishing he had the chance to run away from me for as far as I can tell, I'm the one he should be protected against.
Simon's in a corner watching his best friend. James still dances and the distance between us becomes more painful.
Last night, I realized I fucked up. His coldness ripped my dark heart into shards and bits. I hated how miserable I felt without the spark in his eyes, the magic of his voice, and the kindness that rolls off his tongue.
Simon's eyes bulge as they lock with mine, and he knows they're fucked. But after that initial shock, he shrugs and nods at James as though blaming him for their being here.
James got his back turned as I approach slowly. The song currently playing slows down and it matches the rhythm of his waist.
I'm tempted to grab him home and lock him up for doing such a thing as this. I'm tempted to snake a hand down the expanse of his back but I do it anyway because I can't go any farther at pretenses than this.
His body goes rigid as I pull him to me, his back glued to my chest so I can inhale the spot behind his ears. “Krivvy, I missed you,” I whisper.
I lock my hands around his waist and begin to rock him gently even though he's still in shock. After a while he loosens, keeping up with me.
Energy and desire waft off him to me. The room is dim and I doubt anyone can see us or what we're doing but I think it better of stripping him right here in a club. Whatever we're doing, we'd have enough time for it when ready so I selfishly press him more firmly against me, taking in his scent of cinnamon and aloe. He rubs his bum against my throbbing cock and I'm seconds away from losing my mind. To calm myself, I bit his earlobe causing him to moan. We're lost in the moment and there's nothing breaking us out of it.
“You came back,” he says, now turned to face me with his legs trapped between mine. He licks his lower lips. He's staring up at me with wide eyes, emerald ones filled with passion and need. Each time I shut my eyes they're all I see. I bring my lips down on his in a matter of seconds as he closes his eyes, letting me devour every flavor in his hot mouth. I'm not worthy of being loved. I'm not honorable of having such a pure creature want me so badly and when his tongue reaches out to meet mine, I can only hope he doesn't become my ruin.
