Burning Desires

Walking around the mansion and going to the garden which happens to be my favorite place, to distract myself couldn't help the fact that I'm missing him dearly.

I gathered courage and called him just to hear his voice but it only got worse as I crave his presence.

Tried forcing myself to sleep but couldn't. I thought of my friends but that isn't an option cause they will end up asking me where I was. I've been avoiding their massages both direct chats and our group chats.

The thought of going to his room to get fulfilled by his scent hit me and I hurried to his room.

I lay on his bed and buried my face into his pillow. His scent served as a calming pill and made me relax, which I didn't know when I dozed off.

Waking up late in the night, Oh no!

I quickly rose to rush out but was startled at the sight of Dave sitting right on the couch gazing at me.

I stood still, trying to catch my breath.

"You're back" I mumbled.

"Yes, three hours ago"

I quickly checked the time on my phone and it was 8:45 pm, was shocked as I gaze back at Dave. I slept for 5 hours! How could I?

"I...I fe...lt like...eehm...my..my room was hot and I...decided to come here" I stuttered.

He smiled and walked closer to me. I flinched and at the same time felt like grabbing him tight as I'd been missing him for the whole day.

"Is that so?" He asked leaning closer as if he wanted to kiss me "Or you were missing me?"

I could feel his warm breath on my face and his scent making me feel weak.

"You can't deny the fact that you want me as much as I do" he whispered to my ear and I gasped.

The way he talks sends chills to my body as I bite my lips.

I don't know what he was trying to do but my body was reacting to his words. Being the only man who had ever made me feel this way accelerated my passion for him.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me down on the bed, pinning my wrists with his hands above my head.

I wanted to shout but couldn't, I found myself enjoying the moment.

"Why don't you confess your feelings for me? When will you admit it?" He kept on whispering.

He gently kissed me under my ear and a moan escaped from my mouth. I freed my hands from his grip and grabbed his head to kiss his mouth passionately when he rose up and hastily walked to the washroom.

I angrily ran off to my room and went to the washroom. I filled the bathtub with warm water and buried myself in it to be relieved.

How could he arouse me and walk away? Why couldn't he kiss me? That was so rude of him!

I left the tub feeling better and walked straight to the wardrobe. Picked up my nightwear and lay down. I flashed back to what happened, smiling at myself. This's the best feeling ever, I've never felt like this before, and when the part that he refused to kiss me flashed, I started feeling hurt again and forced myself to sleep.

It's a month now and Dave and I are yet to come up with a plan. Aside from that, everything seems fine except for the fact that Dave has been avoiding me ever since our first kiss and the erotic moment we had in his room. The reason? I still can't comprehend, and it's becoming unbearable.

When the housekeeper came to call me for dinner, I simply told her I'm not hungry.

How am I supposed to have an appetite when I'm draining inside. He doesn't even care about me or my feelings. I thought we had something but we never did. I burst into tears letting out my emotions.

Just then, I heard a knock and I quickly wiped my tears without uttering a word.

"I was told you aren't coming for dinner, why?" He asked as he lets himself in.

"Cause I've no appetite to eat"

"What happened to your appetite?" he asked with concern, sitting next to me.

I gave him no response and he pulled me up from where I lay.

"What bothers you? I see pains in your eyes" he said with his hands on my shoulders as we gazed at each other and tears started accumulating in my eyes again.

"I'm beginning to feel like I'm on house arrest. I can't move around, I can't work nor hang out. How do you expect me to feel? Have you ever thought about that?" I said even though that wasn't my actual problem but I couldn't get myself to speak up.

"I'm sorry I haven't thought about that, but you know it's for your safety and it will be like that till everything is over. My father has his eyes on me, we can't afford to mess things up" he said and grabbed me to his chest in consolation.

That's not my problem! You hurt me. You left a burning desire in me and left me!

"Can I ask you something?" I asked looking up to meet his eyes.

"Please do"

"What wrong have I done that you have chosen to avoid me? For the past weeks, all you do is find excuses just to avoid me. You skip dinner most times and I would eat all by myself. Why? Dave, Why?" I finally opened up and tears rush down my eyes. I couldn't hold on anymore.

He grabbed me by the arms and pressed a kiss on my forehead, sending shivers to my spine. Oh, how I missed him!

"Yes, it's true that I've been avoiding you and you want to know why right?" He muttered as he frees me and walked four inches away from me and came back facing me again.

"Why?"

"Because I lose it each time I'm around you! I don't want you to ever think I asked you to stay cause I wanted to take advantage of you. Do you think it was easy for me? It wasn't Meena, it wasn't. I want you, I need you, I want to have you. The flame of love and desire in me is unquestionable and wants to consume me" he paused and leaned closer to me, his body against mine "I want to devour you, kiss and slide my tongue in your mouth. I want to make you moan out in pleasure, I want...I want you to be my woman, mine!"

I was breathlessly stunned by his words, sending more shivers to my spine like it always does. How can his words have so much effect on me without even touching me? I embraced him as tight as I could. Knowing that our feelings align together was the best discovery I have ever made. At that moment, I felt the world never existed, just the two of us.

"I'll be yours, I want to be yours, I'm all yours," I conceded, still holding him tight in my grip. This was a very exciting and extraordinary moment for both of us.

**********

Dave was amazed and delighted by her utterance. Looking at the lady in his arms resting her head on his chest made his heart leap in emotions. Accepting to be his was something he never imagined would go smoothly, and finding out she felt the same way he feels was so fascinating.

He promised to cherish and protect her as long as he lives.

"You know what?" he asked breaking the emotional moment that has been on for some minutes.

"What? she asked looking up.

"My business partners are hosting a ballroom at Mazil state in Western Gober and you'll be coming with me.

"Really?! Omg, I can't wait. I haven't been there before" she said with excitement "when?"

"In three days"

"But don't you think that'll be risky?"

"No my love, nobody will know you and none of them knows what's getting on," he said caressing her hair.

**********

Felt butterflies in my stomach the minute I heard him call me my love. Oh, Lord! I love the sound of that.

I initiated a passionate kiss that lasted for some minutes and his warm breath on my face was breathtaking.

"Can we go and eat now? Dinner time is almost over"

"I'm really starving right now," I said rubbing my stomach.

"Aaha! someone's appetite is finally back" he exclaimed and I giggled.
