My first kiss

In the garden, the food was already set. Though it wasn't as much as before when I first came here, still it's enough for two people to get filled even as a glutton. And it looks delicious with a satisfying aroma. His cooks do deserve a trophy.

Started walking around the garden enjoying the fresh breeze and the flowers as I wait for Dave. I wasn't in a rush to eat even though the aroma of the food is propelling me to do others.

As I was feeling the texture of a particular flower that caught my eyes, Dave whispered to my ear from my behind.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, beautiful"

I was enthralled by his calm, relaxing voice for some minutes before I could turn around to meet his gaze.

There is something about his voice that always makes me have goosebumps.

His eyes were so captivating that I was mesmerized by the way he stared at me. I felt this strong urge pulling me toward him. If only he knew the kind of effects his eyes had on me.

I usually remove my eyes each time he stares at me like that, but this time, I couldn't even move my head.

My heart skipped and my body shivered with butterflies in my stomach just as he leaned closer. I shut my eyes as I await his next move.

"Let's eat," he said and head to the table and I gasped.

What's wrong with him! He's just messing with me.

We started eating and all we did was gaze at each other. Neither of us could say a thing as we communicate with eye contact.

There's this chemistry which I feel that's going us between.

No matter how hard I try to shut the feelings out it grows by the day and I guess he feels the same too.

"Any plans yet?" I tried to start up a conversation.

"Not yet, but we still have time to come up with something"

He said with an assuring look but I know it's going to be hard for him because this got to do with his father. Like, how on earth will he be fighting with his father. This is so absurd.

Bringing the topic up cut his appetite and he stood up. "I'm done. I'll be in my room," he said and left.

I blamed myself for it. I shouldn't have brought the topic up, at least, not in the middle of breakfast. But I did that to save myself from the effects his eyes had on me.

I couldn't finish up my meal either. My appetite was cut short too so I went to my room. 'my room' I guess I'm getting used to it.

I couldn't relax as I roll from one end of the bed to the other. The mood in which Dave left got me worried and I can comprehend exactly what he's going through.

Deciding to go to his room wasn't an easy one as I summoned the courage to go see him.

I didn't know his exact room so I decided to walk around the big mansion to know if I can come across any of the housekeepers.

Just as I stepped out of my room, I bumped into one at the passageway with neatly arranged quilts in her hands.

Shocked to learn that his room is next to mine as she showed me his room and left which made my heart skip.

I took a deep breath and knocked after standing there for some minutes out of anxiety.

He asked who that was but I couldn't utter a word.

I lost my courage and was about to leave swiftly when the door opened. He wanted to know who would knock on his door and refuse to talk.

He was astonished and at the same time excited to see me standing right at his door.

"Will you just stand there," He asked as he moved to his bed.

I was stunned that I couldn't even take a step. I can't believe that I did what I just did and neither could he.

I managed and pushed myself in as he chuckles at my childish act.

"You forgot to shut the door behind you," He said as he enjoys the drama I'm putting off. Oh God, save me!

I went back and shut the door and he beckoned on me to come to sit beside him, which I did.

"What finally brought the tough one to my room?" he asked with a mischievous smile.

"I seem...I'm sorry for what happened back there"

"You did nothing beautiful. I should be the one apologizing for walking away like that." he said as we gaze at each other "I'm glad you came to check on me.

His captivating eyes never stopped doing strange things to my body. And his lips are so tempting that I try hard to resist. All I wanted was to grab his head and kiss those lips like there was no tomorrow.

"Tell me about yourself," I said trying to distract myself from my thoughts "the kind of business do you do, your hobbies and so much more"

"I run so many businesses and companies, like about 6 companies and several businesses which I established by myself. You must have heard of them, they're very popular"

"Wow, that's very impressive"

"There is something I want to tell you also"

"I'm listening," I said out of curiosity.

"I'm the real owner of Best Real-World"

"What?" I exclaimed with my eyes widely opened as I'm shocked by the revelation.

"Yes, your boss is only managing it for me," he said calmly.

What a small world. I was working for the son of the man who murdered my family and in search of me to complete his quest and I never knew.

It came to my realization that that was exactly how he was able to find me. I don't know if I should be grateful that he found me or criticize myself for leading myself to the lion's den. It's a good thing he chooses not to hurt me. I came to realize that that was exactly how he was able to find me.

"Meena"

"Yes?" I answered, stupefied.

"I promise you that I'll never let any harm come to you, not even from my father," he said with a serious tone.

Those words meant a lot to me as they came out of his mouth. It made me feel special and loved. With the sincerity in his eyes, I was convinced he would never betray me.

"Why are you so kind to me? I asked and looked away.

Immediately I turned to look at him as I didn't get any response, he closed the gap between us and pressed his lips to mine.

He stood up shortly and left without saying a word.

I was hypnotized that I couldn't move nor think. Was just there, sitting on the bed and holding my lips, still looking towards the door.

After some minutes, it started flashing back. It was gentle, soft, and quick yet desirable that I craved for more.

I went back to my room and was still carried away by the kiss. I finally had my first kiss!

It wasn't exactly how I imagined it would be but this seems to be incredible as it was unexpected and from a man, I yearn for.

I felt bad and became mad at him for removing his mouth instantly. I wanted the kiss to be deep and long.

**********

He rushed out the minute he kissed her. He doesn't want to look irresponsible or hurt her feelings with his actions. She might probably think he was taking advantage of her being in his room. He didn't know what pushed him to do that but he wanted it so badly.

He went straight to the garden, walking back and forth as the urge of devouring her heightened.

Now he badly wants to make her his, to call her his woman at all cost. At this point, no man will have her if not him, not by any chance.

The scenario flashed back as he placed his hands on his lips. He imagined how soft it was even in such a short time. The burning desire to go back and grab those lips was so elevated that he almost groaned.

He called for his housekeepers for a glass of liquor to soothe himself.

Just as he was sipping and lost in thoughts, one of his men rushed in.

"What's wrong?"

"I looked for you at your chamber but you weren't there. There's a situation, sir"

"Go ahead"

"Your father is on his here"
