BEGUILED

CHAPTER 9

We spent the night in Salt Rock Hotel. I thought he was going to get down to business straight after dinner but we took a walk around the beautiful hotel, just exploring it and then went to bed, but not before he went down on me and lead me to two orgasms. Seeing that we had already fucked each other, I thought he wasn’t going to wait or beat around the bush but after making me come, he got into the bed and cuddled with me. I won’t lie, that made me like him even more. The fact that he was such a gentleman. This morning, he woke up earlier than me and went to the nearest mall. He came back with new clothes for me and him and some toiletries. The man bought cosmetics from Truworths. I am sure he didn’t even look at the prices.

“Did you shower before leaving?” I ask, sitting up and leaning on the headboard. This is some kind of a vacation for me. First vacation that I have taken with a potential and I am just enjoying the perks. One of it is sleeping in.

He chuckles. “No, I didn’t. Guys aren’t fussy that much, love. Washing our faces and making sure our breaths don’t stink is enough for us to go out. But you ladies, the admin.” I snort. We all know exactly what he is talking about. Unless it's an emergency, I am not leaving my place without showering. “I bought you everything you might need, we’ll except for make up products because, as much as you were so pretty yesterday, I like you better without it and I doubt you know how to apply it on yourself Miss Robotics.”

I should be offended by that but I am not. We talked a lot yesterday. Shared a lot about our pasts, our interests, families and all. He knows I am not a girly girl. Just a nerd who is a bit antisocial and a low key introvert. So between work and my passion, where would I find time to learn how to put on makeup? It’s not an excuse, but come on. “So you like my ugly morning face?”

“Let me just show you how much I like it.” He walks to my side of the bed and pulls me up. He actually picks me up and I squeal before wrapping my legs around his waist and placing my arms on his shoulders. He kisses me and screw morning breath. I kiss him back with the same passion he gives me. My whole body comes back to life. I feel tingles all over and I moan as he squeezes my butt. “I tried to be a gentleman yesterday, tangled with your sexy body, but love, I can’t hold back.” He mumbles.

“Don’t hold back.” I respond and that’s all it takes for his control to snap.

“So when are we leaving?” I ask as we are eating our brunch in the balcony. Like guys, this is life. People who get the princess treatment, I respect you and your men. This is life. This guy actually bought me denim shorts and a crop top, something I have never worn before but somehow fits perfectly. I am not insecure about my body or anything. It’s just my height. Like God, a few inches would be nice yazi.

“We will leave once you’re bored with me.” He responds, sipping on his coffee. It’s hot but the man is drinking coffee. I am not judging because I know coffee addicts.
I chuckle. “Then we can leave now.” He laughs. He looks relaxed. It's my first time seeing him wearing casual, a light t-shirt and cargo pants. No shorts for this one. The session we had before showering, My God, I can still feel him between my legs. The man knows how to satisfy a lady. He took me on the bed, in the shower and even the sink. Like who has that energy in the morning? A guy who goes to the gym, that’s who.

“Is there someone I should be worried about?” he asks in a serious tone. I hope we are not about to get deep. I’m no hoe, so if he treats me right, I can see us becoming long term and that means cutting the flirting that’s going on with Kwanda. Nothing is wrong with him but I guess he took too late to get his act right and that’s not my fault.

“There was one guy who wanted to take me on a date, but after this weekend, I know he doesn’t stand a chance. You and I seem much more compatible.”
He grins. “Which means you like me?”
“You haven’t given me a reason not to.”
He chuckles. “I have really bagged a gem this time around. That means you’re free on Valentines, right?”
“I’m not dating, so duh.” He smiles. His phone rings and his mood changes a bit when he sees who is calling. He answers it and puts it on loud speaker.

“Mashaba.”
“Dude, that’s not how you respond to a call after you stood me up. Like, come on man.” Musongaka whines like a bitch over the phone. A real Cinderella this one.

“I had more important commitments, man. Maybe next time.”
“Commitments? On a Friday night? You got laid, didn’t you?”
“No. I got more than that. I am officially off the market as of immediate effect.” Musongaka laughs but Hunter just smiles.
“Wait. Are you serious? You, off the market? After so long? What changed?”
“Let’s just said I laid my eyes on a true gem and I couldn’t look away. It’s actually someone you know.”

“I wonder who might that be. Anyways, you have to tell me all about it at tomorrow’s game. That’s if you won’t be stuck eating pussy wherever you are.”

“The juices are good for your skin and attitude.” I nearly laugh, but hold myself. Hunter gives me a knowing look and wiggles his eyebrows. I just blush and look away. “Anyways, if you’re done complaining about not getting laid…”
“Aibo wena, who said I am not getting laid?”
“Are you?”
“Well no…”

“That means you’re doing something wrong. Go to the Lembede princess. Maybe she might let you in sooner than you think.”
“That one thinks the sun shines out of her ass. I will just contact my fuck buddy even though she has been acting dodgy lately.”
“Do you man. Bye.” Hunter hangs up and looks at me. “Sorry about that. Sooner or later, he will find out about us.”

“Hoping for later so that he won’t be an ass to me at work.”
“Is that going to be a problem? Me being friends with him?”
“No. I am done with him so there won’t be a problem. I just hope he won’t meddle in our relationship.”

He grins. “Trust me, he knows not to mess with Hunter. That’s what made us friends from the get go.” Why did I just get wet from that sentence?
