The first time they met

Alcohol lowers inhibitions, boosts confidence, and helps you act in a way normal you would not. You would be able to interact easily with strangers and talk a lot more freely.

And sometimes when the trials and tribulations of life become too hard to bear, alcohol makes it easier for you to focus on the present and forget about your troubles.

After two shots of tequila, Emma was still far from getting drunk.

''Let all my haters go to hell... I don't give a damn anymore! And may all fake friends in this world have a special place for them in hell!"

She muttered to herself as she downed the third shot, immediately chasing it down with a swig of beer. Now she was buzzed.

That delicious feeling of warmth and coziness filled her inside and encompass her like a cloak. The live band music she found boring when she came now sounded better, she even started moving her head happily to the slow beats.

After some seconds she signaled the barman for another shot.

"I think you've had enough... Or don't you think so?"

A deep male voice said firmly behind Emma, signaling the barman to hold the shot.

"Oh hi, grandma!" Emma said and laughed when she turned around on the barstool she was sitting on. Standing before her was the most gorgeous man she had ever set her eyes on.

She gave him a quick once over and saw he was tall, six feet plus some inches maybe... She figured he would be in his late twenties or early thirties. Milk chocolate skin tone and short, well-trimmed beards.

He was still looking debonair even though he came to the club directly from the office. She could tell this from the white silk shirt that had the first two buttons opened and sleeves rolled up to the elbows.

Leo was also amused at how she addressed him.

"Grandma?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow and wondered. 'She doesn't look that drunk, or is she?'

Emma smiled sweetly at him and winked.

"You sounded so much like my grandma was nagging me... She would go... 'Ayinke behave yourself... Ayinke you shouldn't drink so much... She nags a lot but I love her still.

"Ayinke huh?" He asked with the sexiest smile Emma had ever seen on a man's face.

She shrugged "You look nothing like my grandma though." She smiled sexily, looking him straight in the eyes. "I should have said, "Hi handsome."

"And I would have loved that very much..." He whispered. He was so near to her, looking down at her enchanting face.

Leo noticed how she smiled and bit on her bottom lips suggestively. He loved the way she smiles. Her lips that look, soft and succulent like a juicy plum, beckoned invitingly at him.

He wanted to kiss, suck and bite on them so bad, and the sooner the better. Leonard Salvador never wastes time on things he needs to get done.

"Well Ayinke, even though your grandma sounds nice, I'm sorry I sounded like her... I just want you sober enough to remember this for a very long time..." He whispered as he lowered his head to meet her lips in a kiss.

Emma's heart fluttered as if a thousand butterflies were flying inside it when she heard her name coming out of his mouth. Only her grandmother calls her that and it sounded sexy and sweeter coming from his mouth.

From flutter, her heartbeats increased rapidly with the excitement of his lips meeting with hers. His kiss was nothing like what Emma had ever tasted both home and abroad. She felt delirious, feeling tingly, euphoric pleasure traveled all over her body till it moistens her core.

"Wao!... That was fast! Chris said, looking towards Leo and Emma in amazement.

"Yeah... What type of magic words did he say to get her to kiss him that fast?" Ladi asked no one in particular as he also was looking towards Leo and Emma.

"Look at them go... I don't want to watch them anymore or I might try looking for a hook up myself. Chris said and looked away from Leo and Emma's romantic kiss. He picked up his drink from the table instead, focusing his attention on relishing the taste.

Ladi still watched on...

'I should have gone for the girl myself instead of telling Leo'. He thought to himself with envy and regret.

Leo didn't know for how long they kissed by the bar. He usually likes to be in control whenever he's pleasuring a woman. He likes the power to give and take away pleasure at will, leaving them begging for more.

But the kiss with Emma sort of spiraled out of his control. He couldn't help but lose himself in the moment. He didn't want to stop kissing her. They could go on and on, and he still won't get tired until they become consumed by the flame of their passion.

They need to get out of public eyes as soon as possible before that happened. Leo couldn't understand this intense attraction and longing for a girl he just met. It certainly didn't feel like they just met. There's this familiar kind of feeling like he's known her for long.

There's this urgency to be with her that he couldn't explain

"Want to get out of here?" He spoke softly into her mouth, alternating between looking into her eyes and placing tiny kisses all over her face.

"Yeah, let's get out of here" She replied without thinking. Emma knew what would happen next if she went with him. It's the line her grandma had always warned her not to cross until the right time and the right person comes along.

When is the right time and who is the right person? She always wondered. Grandma just said she would feel it with her heart, body, and soul when she met with him.

Now she was sure he's the one because her heart wouldn't stop its erratic beats. Her body was melting into a puddle and her soul felt blissful.

Even when she was sure she'd found the right person, grandma still warned not to cross that line before the proper ritual is done.

'The ritual is no big deal anyway. Grandma could do that at any time since it involves her just dancing around and murmuring inaudible words.' Emma thought to herself as she clung to Leo's arm and received the kiss he placed on her lips.

She thought her grandma sometimes exaggerates. She would call molehill, a mountain in disguise just to scare her into behaving. Emma smiled at how silly her grandma could be sometimes.

Leo held her hand like they were a real couple, kissing, nibbling, and teasing each other while walking to the Lakes hotel. This feeling was strange, crazy, and wonderful at the same time.

The eagerness to have her was mind-blowing and he couldn't understand for the life of him why he would feel such a strong urge towards a girl he just met not quite twenty minutes ago. He couldn't wait for them to get to their destination and get it over with.

They were all over each other as soon as they entered the room, kissing passionately while struggling to remove each other's clothes at the same time.

The atmosphere in the room was charged and crackling with the strong flow of sexual current that couldn't be held back within them.

Leo carried her to the bed and behold her beautiful body which was unlike any he's ever come across.

He wanted to fondle her full round boobs, take her thick, dark nipples in his mouth and suck on them till she writhes from the pleasure.

He wanted to bury his face in the valley of her full boobs, kiss down her body to her lady part before eating her up.

He wished he could caress her all over and pleasure her as she has never been pleasured before in her life... But the urgency of both their needs wouldn't afford him that pleasure of doing all those things to her.

He felt like he was on a long, slippery, slide that couldn't be stopped until he gets to the end. The passion they emit was so intense, the energy so much. Their body moved together in urgency like they were running out of time.

Then he finally entered her just as the hour of the clock strikes on midnight...
