UNTIL DAWN

Chapter Eighteen

Elley Duhé - 

Middle of the Night

"This is the second time you've told me to excuse you since I sat down," she rolled her eyes, as if I were the most annoying person in the room.

"Hey, sweetheart, don't make those jokes around guys, especially those who look like me and have had a glass of scotch. It can be dangerous most of the time."

"Ooh, please! Do you think I approached you because I wanted to play hide and seek? In a club of all places?" Well, she was full of surprises.

"So, what's your offer again?"

"Look, I need money, and I'm not mistaken that you have plenty of it. Don't worry, I am a virgin, and well, you are you." I wasn't actually sure whether she was being brutally honest or trying to offend me, but my tipsy self was already tempted with the offer.

"Are you sure that is what you want right now? How old are you?" Again, she rolled her eyes at me.

"If you are worried that I am under age, I assure you that I am a Uni graduate, ready to be employed. So are you going to keep the lady waiting or you are not actually interested."

I waited for her to finish whatever she was saying. I placed some bills on the table, took her thin hand in my own, and left Vortex together before she changed her mind.

I had nothing to lose and I kind of liked her.

Hazel.

*****

She stood in the middle of the master suite, hugging herself. She looked lost, as if she wanted to get out immediately.

"Do you want me to ..." she asked, gesturing to her dress. 

I almost laughed at how nervous she seemed; the earlier feisty girl from Vortex was long gone.

"Of course. Do you usually take a shower fully dressed?" I said with a chuckle, while biting my lip to conceal my smile at her confusion. 

Adorable little thing.

"You... want it in the..." Her eyes widened in horror, and I struggled to suppress a laugh, not wanting to make things worse.

"Christ, Hazel, what are you thinking? Go take a shower. I'm going to order something to eat, so hurry up before it gets cold." She looked at me, perplexed at first, then blushed to the extent her neck also turned red. 

I almost took her right then and there. 

But I was getting sobber so, I was not going to do something she was going to regret first thing in the morning when she wakes up.

Though, it seemed harder than I thought. 

Her innocence was like an invisible pull and it had been long since I denied myself the pleasure of sex when it was this close and the person was as hot as Hazel.

Clearly, she hadn't lied when she said it was her first time; she had no idea what she was getting herself into.

She disappeared into the bathroom in the blink of an eye, avoiding my gaze, and I took a moment to calm down.

After some time, when she came out in a robe, I couldn't help but look. Hazel was beautiful.

She had a white towel wrapped around her wet hair, and the shower water made the green in her hazel eyes glisten.

"When are we...? I mean, that's why you told me to take a shower first, right?" she stammered, afraid to even mention the word. How could she think she was ready for this? I closed the distance between us in two long strides.

"Patience, sweetheart, patience. There's no need to rush; the night is still young." I pointed it out to ease the tension in her body. Cupping her face in my hands I gave her a lingering butterfly kiss.
