Subdued (18+)✔️ [A Nigerian Romance]

18~Running

He was laughing at her, like what she said was funny and Aria couldn't believe it. She wanted to shove his head into the wall of the car but his laugh was unbelievably sexy and it washed over her in waves. She felt her nipples harden in the soft confines of her bra and she couldn't sit still, not anymore.

"Date?" he laughed again. "There are only two categories of women I sleep with. The ones I'm paying and the ones I'm dating," Kachi stated.

"And I don't fall among the category of women you want to date?" she asked in disbelief, because why else would he be talking about categories?

"You don't."

"You're a real bastard. Why would I agree to sleep with you if I know you have no intention of dating me?"

"Because I want you. And I know that you want me too."

Aria stared at him, hating that he was right and hating herself for letting it be. From the first time she had met him, she'd known that she would wreck herself to have this man. Seeing him smile, hearing him laugh, watching his mouth move as he spoke, all these were like foreplay to her. She was fast losing this particular game and as she felt her foothold being displaced by the heated look in his eyes she struggled even more. Although she knew she would lose at the end, especially if she didn't run now, Aria held on.

"I don't want you," she hissed.

He was above her in an instant. His arms pressed into the leather behind her, caging her and he leaned towards her. No part of his body physically touched hers but Aria felt like she was a live wire about to burn. "Really," he drawled. "Do you want me to check?"

She forced herself to swallow before trying to speak. "what?

"The fact that I'm still here shows you want me. An annoyed girl would have slapped me immediately, but you dragged me to the car. A disinterested girl would have already pushed me off. You're panting beneath me, Aria."

She held her breath and shut her eyes, unsure what to do at this moment.

"Tell me to stop now. It might be the only chance you get," he said and she felt his breath come closer and closer until his lips were touching the base of her throat. Yet she couldn't say a word. Her mouth couldn't form the two letter word needed for him to back the hell up.

Kachi pressed a kiss to her throat and then his mouth opened and he sucked. She'd never heard the kind of guttural moan that left her mouth in that moment. It sounded both pained and relieved. The sound was in close relation to how she was feeling. She felt relieved that she was experiencing this and pain that it was just that; she needed more, so much more.

"I'll give you another chance to stop this, Zariah. Ask me to," he said again, his mouth trailing down. Kachi's mouth left wet kisses down her throat, his teeth making tiny bites and his tongue slipped out to soothe the slight sting away. He stopped when he was dangerously close to the dip in her tank and he went back up, kissing and sucking on her cleavage and neck.

"Don't stop," she heard herself groan and that was answer enough for him.

His weight came down and he pressed a knee in between her legs, spreading them for him to settle. His left hand joined his mouth, holding her neck in place as he worked her. The right hand swept down and cupped her aching breast and she almost wept at the instant pleasure.

Kachi's fingers tugged on her top and bra until it was low enough for his hand to grab her breasts and free them from their confines. His mouth was on them in an instant; his tongue moved over one taut nipple slowly before he drew it into his mouth. Aria shot up as the sensation traveled all over her body. This man knew what he was doing.

Almost as suddenly as everything began, it stopped. He fixed her clothes back like nothing happened, and only the dark glint in his eyes and the hardened flesh pressing against her thigh gave any inclination to how he was feeling. Otherwise, he seemed unaffected. His body didn't even thrum and shake like hers was.

"I think we've established the fact that you very much want me, as much as I want you."

She was hearing the words but not processing it. Her brain had gotten stuck on what happened and the fact that he'd enjoyed it, judging from the outcome still pressed against her. She lifted her hips so her crotch was pressed against his. It didn't alleviate the heat, instead it left her craving more.

"You're so horny you can't even focus," he snorted before completely pulling away and going back to sit beside her.

Shame washed down her body, bringing with it a cold, empty feeling that sufficiently doused the want she had for him. She wanted him too much and he knew and found it funny. She wanted to disappear and never face this confusing man ever again.

Aria grabbed for the door handle and pulled. The car didn't unlock.

"Running off so soon?"

She turned to face him, refusing to look further than his face and he had that serious look again. All the warmth from before had been wiped away leaving this cold shell behind.

"Let me out of this car," she hissed.

"I'll pay you a million naira for each month we're together. That's a pretty good deal. You earn about five to ten percent of that in a month."

"Let me out of this car!"

"That's enough money to change your life. We already know we want this, Zariah."

"LET. ME. OUT. OF. THIS. FUCKING. CAR!" she said each word slowly but it conveyed her anger well because he stared at her for a few seconds and then nodded.

"Think about it and let me know." He unlocked the doors and pushed hers open for her. Before he could make another degrading comment, she slid out of the car and ran back to the club.
