Athena's Pov

My smile drops when he starts sucking my neck.

I immediately push at his chest and he pulls back to look at me. I try to sit up but he gently places his hands on my sides and presses down his body on mine so I keep laying on the bed.

“What happened?” He asked softly and caressed my cheek. I love when he does that.

“You said we were just cuddling…” I mumbled.

He promised he wouldn't ask for anything more. I skipped school for him. I lied to grandpa and Tristan, he can't do that to me now.

I just wanted to cuddle. I told him I didn't want to do anything else. I just wanted someone to hold me. I wanted to be cared for. I wanted to feel like I matter to someone. I wanted to feel loved. 

Richard has kids of his own, there was no one better to show to me what the warmth of a protector feels like. I wanted to feel the embrace of someone who wants me unconditionally.

“We will cuddle, little doll. I promise. But I want to make love to you before that. Just twenty minutes, okay?” He requests me so politely that it's hard to decline now.

“But I'm not ready… Not today, please.” I whisper not meeting his gentle eyes.

He holds my chin and lifts my face so I look at him. “You know I love you more than any man has ever, right? I want to give you the world.” 

I was about to request some other day when he cut me off. “How about after this, we cuddle for a full hour then I'll take you out for ice cream and I'll also get you those sneakers that you wanted?”

I considered the offer. “Can we stay at home and just cuddle to sleep after this?”

“Whatever you say my love.” He smiles at me.

I suck in a harsh breath as his lips land on mine. I try to concentrate but being intimate with someone so older than me is terribly uncomfortable. I really didn't plan for our relationship to become so strange.

My eyes shoot open and I’m met with the white ceiling. I sigh in relief and wipe away the droplets of sweat on my forehead.

I can't believe I was so stupid just three years ago.

I really thought he would be okay with just cuddles. But everyone's selfish in this world. No one does a favor without an expectation to get something in return.

That day I learnt a very valuable lesson. Every man wants one thing and if you want them to care for you, you need to be open at offering that.

Sure I didn't want to have sex but it wasn't bad. In fact in comparison to amateur boys my age, Richard was mind-blowing. And the best part was how he cuddled me for three hours. We then had another quick round before I had to finally go back home.

If it wasn't for his sudden aroused love for his wife —that he separated with for three months before we met— we might've lasted longer than we did.

He was kinder than men I've been with. I first met him at a park when he came to the park with his six year old daughter. I was thirteen but she was fun to play with. All the time that I spent with her I was so fascinated by the way Richard treated her.

He was always looking out for her, making sure she was okay. He was carrying all her stuff and even lifted her up in his arms and sat her on his lap when she hurt herself. He was always making her laugh with silly jokes or tickles.
