Chasing Gravity ( BOOK 1)

5

Gravity's room was right in front of the pool and just adjacent to Leo's master bedroom, they both shared the beautiful view of Italy from their respective rooms, but the view was not helping Gravity at all. She was anxious about being tied down to a man whom she barely knew. It was night time, Gravity was still staring at the view when she saw Leo come out of his room, ready for a swim, at that moment Gravity got an idea, she rushed to the washroom for a quick shower before changing into her infamous lacy red nightwear, it was a complete seethrough red lace dress barely covering the hips, Gravity loved wearing her red bikini under it and complemented it with a small red satin shrug. This was one of her most sensual dresses, no one ever was able to resist this look of her's before.Keeping her natural curls loose Gravity came out of her room to see Leo swimming, she admitted the fact that he looked hot! Almost had a similar body to Jacob Elordi, a similar height, but slightly wheatish shade, moreover the injury marks on his body made him more desirable for Gravity. But remembering what an asshole he was in thinking her to be a tameable person, she kept aside her physical desires and wanted to focus on a serious talk that can help her escape the situation she was in. Gravity was still busy with her thoughts and checking out Leo's body when suddenly a pair of Grey eyes came in front of her hazel ones. Leo noticed how sexy Gravity looked while swimming, he felt a sudden desire to go and hold her, even though knowing there would be consequences when he left the pool, he expected Gravity to look at him, but seeing how lost she was in her thoughts, he just went and bent down to her level, It was the first time he was seeing her properly, his heart fluttered for the first time for a woman, she indeed was a beauty, moreover her hazel eyes showed how smart and deadly she could be, while Leo was lost in Gravity's eyes she spoke up" These eyes are not what I wish to see" saying that she came dangerously close to Leo, her eyes focused on his lips before slowly settling on his main part after scanning his whole upper body. This made Leo uncomfortable, this was his first-ever encounter with women, he had private schooling since childhood, the servants were like sisters to him, after 15 years of age his father made him focus on work, and in his early 20s he was busily revenging his mother, moreover he was taught to respect the family traditions of an arranged match, Gravity's closeness made him blush and experience feelings he never felt before, still controlling himself he got up and moved in another direction before saying" You can't get that yet, we have to marry first." this made Gravity laugh before saying" oh yeah! so you have married every girl you ever slept with?" This made Leo's back stiff which was enough to tell gravity something affected him so she continued "Look, let's just sleep together, I am ready to have an affair with you! I mean look at me, do I look marriage types to you? and even if I am, do you think you are in my league?" This made Leo turn back, he walked towards Gravity in fury and further pushed her to the wall between their rooms, enclosing her in his muscled arms he said" Here I am trying to respect you, marry you and give you a title you deserve, and what are you doing? do you not see how precious you are? how can you degrade yourself to just being a mistress?" This made Gravity gulp, it was the first time a man was not trying to take advantage of her, someone who was persistent in respecting her but she couldn't lose this battle, thus right when Leo was about to leave she said " you are a virgin aren't you?" This made Loe look at her in shock, she caught him, but keeping his cool he said" it is in my traditions to be of a single woman my whole life, wait for her and then spend the life only with her" Saying this he turned towards the pool, only to mask his shocked expression. Him saying this made gravity lose her thoughts for a while as well, then she gave out her famous chuckle and said " cliche and soo cheesy" this made Leo turn back, he was expecting a bored expression, but to his surprise Gravity had a small smile on her face, her first-ever genuine smile for him, it was beautiful! Then gravity said " goodnight" and left for her room, behind her Leo whispered" sweet dreams".remembering the incidents that just took place outside their rooms, both Gravity and Leo slept with smiles on their faces, looking forward to the next day.
