Shades Of Lust

Chapter 5 | Cruel Game

It was a risky game. 

Either I could take a step backward and never turn around or I could take a step forward to let myself play the dangerous game those beautiful eyes were challenging me to. 

I chose the latter. 

I took a step forward to her, her eyes not leaving mine. My own eyes betraying me not to look anywhere else. I inhaled the bitter smoke which clouded my mind, bewitching me. 

"Trust me you would not want to know" her eyes scrutinized me like a prey. The thick air suffocated me, wanting to find an escape between her lips, which looked tempting enough to savor. Suddenly I felt my cock straining against my jeans, getting harder the more I stared at the exquisite woman in front of me. Thousands of obscene scenarios ran through my mind. 

She was driving me insane. 

"Maybe I do" I replied, now stopping in front of her. An amusing expression on her face as she stared up at me through her thick lashes, eyes burning with insanity. God, she looked like heaven, ready to destroy me for good and I would let her. 

I placed my right hand on the couch beside her head. I did not know from where this sudden confidence came from, I bent myself on her eye level. The close proximity between us left me breathless as she suddenly smiled. 

Lord, have mercy. 

Despite the presence of the toxic smoke in the air there was a pleasing scent within her, making me lower my head to her neck. I just looked at her not knowing what to do next, I could feel her breath against mine, soft and addictive. I could feel my own heartbeat, my palms felt sweaty and I licked my lips unknowingly. 

Suddenly my body flinched as I felt the warm touch of her thumb on my chin, making its way to my lips, causing me to lose my breath. The touch felt so warm and right on my skin that I wanted more. She had already stimulated the fire inside me which only grew the more she stared at me with so much want. 

"Oh, you have a mole here" her voice sounded surprised as she brought her thumb under my bottom lip, gently caressing it.

My lips slightly parted at that, my eyes closing from the small touch. Nobody had ever touched me like that before, with so much care, it felt so personal, so intimate that I couldn't help but bite my bottom lip. 

"You strum those strings like you are strumming my heart" her thumb brushing over my lip "You stare at me like it means something, it makes me want to know you more" her voice so gentle and soothing, making me want to hear again. As if someone had bewitched me, I refused to get out  of the maze she had put me in. 

Did I want to know her? 

The answer was simple, yes, I wanted it too. The warmth I felt through her touch, I wanted more of it. 

Strange yet comforting. Toxic yet sweet. Lust yet love. 

I had no words to describe what I was feeling right now. 

"Maybe I also do" I whispered against her fingers. Oh, the touch of October in July through her warmth shivering my insides. I could feel the loud thumping of my heart. Nothing was normal about the way my body was reacting, and it was concerning.

 I'd long forgotten where I was and what I was supposed to do until a chuckle pulled me out of my trance. 

"I was hoping for a performance though" she retorted, bringing back the burning stick to her lips before taking a drag from it with so much joy while locking her eyes with mine. Suddenly the trance around me broke and I staggered back, keeping some distance between us. I had this instant urge to slap myself. I averted my eyes in shame.
