I clicked the lobby button the elevator, quickly noticed we were all the way up on the tenth floor so this will be a long way down. I mean it’ll probably be short but being stuck in the same elevator as him will make it feel like forever. I don’t want to be anywhere near him at this point in time. I just want to go lock myself in my apartment and take some time to myself to get my bearings on the situation.
Tripp leaned on the side rail of the elevator wall with his phone in hand, staring intently at it. It’s like this whole thing hasn’t phased him at all, is he just used to waking up with random women in his bed? What kind of life is that? I don’t want to do the whole hookup thing, I just want to settle down with one man and live a nice peaceful life full of happiness. I couldn’t imagine living life in the fast lane like this where you just constantly sleep with people you don’t know. Did he even use a condom? I’ll need to get a morning after pill just to be sure. Great, just another thing I get to worry about.
Suddenly the elevator came to screeching halt causing me to lose my balance, I was so lost in thought and this was so completely unexpected I lost my footing, right into the arms of Mr. Billionaire playboy himself. I could feel the muscles in his chest as he caught me, wrapping his arms around my thin frame, causing him to drop his phone which went flying with the elevator. Not going to lie, I was scared so I buried my face into his chest, luckily for me most of the makeup I had on from last night was mostly wiped off already so there wasn't a chance of ruining his shirt. He instinctively pulled me closer. I don’t know why, but I didn’t fight this. The elevator was slightly shaking so I was terrified it would fall. His arms felt so comforting so I just wrapped myself closer and took in the amazing smell of his cologne.
"What the hell kind of hotel did you take my drunk ass to?" I sputtered trying to find an outlet for my embarrassment, grasping his shirt, which didn't seem to bother him too much. The lights in the elevator flickered, then turned off altogether. This is totally fine, I’m just going to die super young in an elevator with the man who I don’t even know that I slept with. Every girl’s dream way of going out right? He put one of his hands on the back of my neck. The warmth was actually kind of calming. I buried my face into his chest without even thinking. I mean the least he can do for me is comfort me while I’m scared since I slept with him last night.
The elevator moved slightly again, just enough for me to lose my footing, but once again Tripp caught me, keeping me steady. He slicked back his dirty blonde hair and picked up the emergency phone and explained the situation. All the same time he used his other arm to hold me steady against him. I could feel his heart beating, which seemed a little faster than usual as well. He could keep a calm demeanor but his heart gave him away, he’s nervous as well!
"Mr. Cederic! We are so sorry! We'll have you guys out as soon as possible! Twenty minutes tops!" I heard them say.
Tripp did a deep sigh. "Fine." And hung up. "Looks like we could be stuck in here awhile."
"Shit." I mumbled, as I pushed my back against the railing, letting go of Tripp. I felt really embarrassed as is, I don’t need to cling to my one night stand for another twenty minutes. I’ll just grip the side railing until my knuckles turn white. I hated to admit, but man I'm scared this damn elevator was going to fall and break every bone in my body. "Why me?!" I accidentally exclaimed out loud letting my head rest on the smooth walls. While Tripp’s warm body comforted me, the cooling from the marble tile on the wall was also comforting in a different way. It felt nice and made me relax just a little.
Tripp must have taken the question the wrong way replying, "Because you're gorgeous, I saw you over with your buddies laughing and drinking,it surprised me how open and honest you were about everything. It's like you don't care what others think of you. I knew I had to have a taste of you regardless of how drunk you were." He chuckled, placing his palms next to each side of me on the railing. His head slowly moved toward mine. Closing my eyes out of instinct I could feel his breath on my mouth before our lips met, slowly parting before bursting together in a passionate embrace. He pushed me roughly toward the wall as he closed the gap between us, pushing his tongue in my mouth, picking up the intensity of our kiss. I couldn't help it, when I heard the low moan escape from his throat I wrapped my arms around him, losing my wits to his embrace. I couldn't deny the chemistry we had going as his lips slowly moved toward my neck and his hands began to explore. He pressed up against me, his body heat made me so hot, making me want him even more. Ugh I want him so badly, is this what happened last night? He propped my legs up so that I could feel how much he wanted me too. He wanted me with an urgency, unzipping his pants in a rush.
*Screeeeee!* The lights came back on and the elevator popped back into action, making me quickly jump away from Tripp. Damn it, why did I do that again?! Why can't I resist his charms? Why does looking at him make me just want to melt? He’s so handsome with a perfect chiseled body with bulging muscles. Ugh stop it Sera!
