Bleeding Heart 💔

CHAPTER EIGHT

As usual the club smelled of liquor and sweat and sex. At a corner, I caught sight of a lady grinding her ass on her male partner obviously with the aim of arousing the drunk man and she was doing a great job. The man did nothing to hide his arousal, he held unto her waist like his life depended on it. I was so amused that I didn't even realize I had stopped until Lilly snapped her fingers in my face.

"With the way you're staring at the couple, one would think you were sexually starved and need to get laid."
I sighed, "I do need to get laid. It's been soooo long. It's been a year. Jason stopped touching me for a while and I thought it was work stress".
Lilly looked at me wide eyed like she didn't believe what I was saying.
"Okay! New mission! We are going to find you a man. One that's drop dead gorgeous. He doesn't even have to be rich because girl, I've got money enough for both of us"
"What are you talking about? You want to find me a broke boyfriend?!"
"Not a boyfriend, a one night stand!" 

Lilly squealed like a child at whatever idea that was taking shape in head. But on a second thought though, a one night stand won't be a bad idea. If I can do it without getting attached to the stranger. I've never done it but maybe it's time to try it.
"Sooooooooooo, what do you say sweetie? Are you in or out?" I sighed for what seemed like the 200th time in an hour. What did I have to loose? "I'm in!" 

I really didn't know how I was going to get a man to have a one night stand with me. But then again, Lilly seems to know what to do.
"You already look hot and sexy so it should be easy." Yeah....how hard could it be. We went to sit at the bar and ordered drinks. I specifically ordered their special mix because I needed something extra strong to keep my nerves calm. Who said a one night stand was easy? My stomach is in knots!

After about twenty minutes with no luck, I needed to go use the restroom. I had finished a bottle of moet in twenty minutes, on my own and honestly I felt very tipsy and very pressed.

Lilly kept blabbing about how I was never going to be able to seduce a man in this state and suggested we go home to "re-strategise"  That girl really had a way of making me laugh. I of course agreed to go home. This one night stand thing was starting to feel like a bad idea. I walked out of the bathroom, staggering a little and that's when I bumped into something hard and yet oddly comfortable.

The smell of cedar, and sandalwood, with a touch of spice like black pepper with a hint of leather reached my nose and made me more lightheaded than I already was. I had to tightly grab unto his arm for support. His hand on the small of my back was rapidly spreading warmth through my body and gathering at the center of my core making me clench my legs. I heard someone clear their throat above me and instantly got out of my daze.

I looked up at the man in front of me and my mouth nearly dropped open. Mesmerizing gray eyes stared at me and seemed to be roam all over my body making me feel so hot. This man was nothing less than six feet tall. His lips were full and I wondered what they'll taste like against mine. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said he could rival a Greek god. He was beautiful and I just stood there shamelessly staring at him and taking in every inch of the man.

"You know it's rude to stare.". Oh God! His voice was deep and rich and dripped like honey. Could there be any flaw in this man? "What?" He laughed at my question, the sound sending waves upon waves of pleasure shooting through me. I needed this man to bed me tonight and yet I didn't even know how I was going to ask him.

"I'm Desmond". He said extending his hand for a handshake. I took it and introduced myself. "You know, I would really appreciate if you'll agree to go over to my place tonight so we could sit and talk over a tall glass of wine". Wait! Was he asking what I thought he was asking?!
"I am not that typed of girl." I said looking shocked. I couldn't have been that obvious. I stared at him for a while as though considering his offer. "It's an extremely bad idea but I'm in. I just have to tell my friend that I'll be leaving with you in case you're a serial killer."

Just like last time, I found Lilly at the bar except this time she  looked like she needed saving from the short, ugly looking man in front of her. He smiled and I could see Lilly trying not to puke. I walked closer and Lilly's face brightened when she saw me and once again the man before her smiled and I could see why Lilly's nose scrunched up at his smile. Why was his teeth that brown and was he missing a tooth?. "My friend and I need to leave now. Bye"

Lilly was away from there before the man could even reply. The minute we were far from him I couldn't hold back my laughter. "Was he really that bad?"
"Are you really asking? You saw him." She gave an exasperated sigh. "Where were you by the way?!" Oh shoot! I actually forgot why I was looking for her. "Well.......I found someone for our little one night stand experiment. His name is Desmond. And he is dropdead gorgeous"

She just rolled her eyes at me. "Too much information. It's a one night stand. You do not need his name  or any other information. But you have to ask if he's medically sound. Just use protection". It was my turn to roll my eyes at her. She should know I have had sex before. Never a random one but I am no virgin so I should know the importance of protection. I told her I understood her motherly advice and then went on to find Desmond.

I was nervous throughout the few minutes drive to his hotel. Why was i this nervous? I've had sex before and it's not like he was some kind of monster. My palms were all sweaty and the fact that Desmond kept staring at me like he was ready to jump on me in the car didn't help. I couldn't stop tapping m feet or playing with the hem of my dress. I didn't even know when we got to his hotel.
