DEVOTION | L. FORGER

CHAPTER 8

"Oh my, you live here?" I ask Loid looking at the huge house in front of us. The exterior looks extravagant, no doubt the interior must look equally good.

"Yeah is that so hard to believe?" he says rubbing his hand behind his neck.

"No, I just took you for a simple man, no offense of course"

"Oh Y/n I can be very fancy at other things"

Oh.

"Anyways let's go inside it's getting pretty cold" he continues.

"Yeah"

As we walk in I cannot help but be in awe. Everything is so pretty and well kept, the chandelier in the middle, the staircase is a perfect swirl, his couch is low leveled and looks comfy, and his furniture has an industrial touch to it. His house smells just like him. He takes me to the kitchen which is another huge room well kept. He opens his huge fridge and grabs a bottle of wine and two glasses. He looks at me and smirks.

"Follow me, love"

And I follow him blindly. He takes me down another staircase which I assumed was his basement. As we walk in, he switches the lights on. My breath stops his he allows me to walk in first.

He. Owns. A. Pool.

The dim yellow lights in and out of the pool look so pleasing. I feel lewd in the best way possible. I hear him shuffle behind me as he opens the bottle of wine and pours it into the glass for us. I grab the glass from him and we clank our glasses together, sipping the whole liquid in one go.

"You have a really pretty home Loid, Do you live here alone?"

"Thank you and yes I do, minus the maids and the cooks who come here often"

"Do you ever get...lonely?" I ask hesitantly, not wanting to overstep my boundary.

He looks at his wine glass which was now empty. He looks too deep in thought. As if he's searching for the right words. The right excuse to say.

"Sometimes it does. That is why I work a lot to keep myself distracted"

My heart hurts at his words. His pain was all too familiar for me. He looks up smiling widely, putting on a facade he asks me,

"Care for a swim?"

I smile back at him, whatever so it may be, at least we are here. Together.

He puts his glass down, his hand running down the hem of his shirt as he gently lifts his shirt and off his body in no time. I couldn't help but stare. His chiseled body with a few faint marks, the ways his muscles stretch and expand, seem too good to be true.

He walks over to the pool emerging in it slowly, almost as if he's teasing me. He looks back at me one last time.

"You coming or what?" With that, he swims away to the other side of the pool.

I suddenly feel the same boldness I felt back in the car. I take off my dress from the straps first as I slide it down my body in the same teasing manner as Loid did to me. I can feel Loid's eyes burning into my soul as his eyes darken and he runs his tongue over his lips.

I strip down until I am in my bra and underwear. I slowly walk into the pool paddling towards Loid. He meets me halfway there.

As soon as Loid comes near me, more than needed. His fingers tug onto my hair as he pulls them hard making my head incline upwards. He towers over me as he comes close to my ear. "Teasing me was not a good idea love" his hot breath made my ears turn into the slightest shade of red.
