Arden Parker is trapped in a sealed deal with deadly consequences with a betrothed on the other end of the string. But can a one night stand with a mysterious, hot stranger be her one night chance to freedom?
Arden waits for her life to begin and s...
"Come back!" He demanded as I ran away. I giggled and ran to the beach.
"Never!" I shouted and laughed. I stole his phone and tried to unlock it. Stupid passcode combination system...
I wanted to figure out his name. He was nothing more than a thrilling sensation with a mysterious aura around him. Maybe that's why he made me weak in my knees. I stopped behind a palm tree and tried to open his phone. Four numbers... what passcode could a complete stranger use...
"Sugar Blush!" He yelled again. This time really annoyed. I giggled and blew my cover. My first instinct was to run for my life. I put the phone in my pocket and was about to run when he took my wrist and pulled me back. I looked up in shock and he smirked at me as his green eyes darkened.
"Got you." He lifted me like I weight nothing and put me over his shoulder. "I told you I would take you." He slapped my ass and I gasped.
"Let me down, you big bad beast!" I demanded.
"Nah, I never listen!" He chucked and started to walk away with me. The sounds of the crashing waves in the night caught my attention and I looked over at the sea. The stars were shining like diamonds in the sky and the moon was the night light I needed.
"Stop."
"No."
"I want to stay here! I want to watch the ocean." Mr. Mysterious stopped and looked at the ocean. Many minutes passed before he took me bridal style instead and sat down on the soft beach.
"I won't let you go because you'll runaway with my phone or wallet again. But I can hold you", he said in a soft tone as he looked at the ocean. I curled into a ball against his chest and listened to his heartbeats.
"Fine", I said and made myself comfortable. He played with my fingertips and I played with his. I dug my feet into the sand and he smiled a bit against my head.
"Figured out my code yet?"
"No. You're impossible", I muttered and he started to chuckled softly.
"Not really. Just mysterious."
"Without a good reason."
"I want to stay... uncomplicated. As long as we are strangers we're safe from feelings, misunderstandings and complicated situations."
"Isn't this a complicated situation?" I asked and looked up to him, meeting his eyes.
"No, it's just passion."
I broke eye contact and played with his lips. Passion... That was a word I thought I'd never hear.
"What if I don't want it to end by the end of this night?" I asked. Mister kissed my forehead gently and stroke my hair.
"One hour at the time, stranger."
It was crazy that I spent time together with a man I hardly knew. A man who didn't tell me his name or anything. Maybe that's what I needed...
Like he said: uncomplicated.
I broke our positions and got on top, pinning him down with his arms above his head. I kissed his lips gently and without hesitation he kissed me back. Our kisses started as soft and gently before our passion fired up and he took control again.
In one smooth action he changed our positions and left me under with him on top. Our eye contact said it all. He looked for a sign. A confirmation. An obvious yes without any it was a mistake. I wasn't this kind of a woman. The kind who wanted pleasure. For heaven's sake... I never had any action.
But I knew what I wanted. I wanted this no matter the cost. I dreamed of one night of freedom and this was it.
"I need to tell you something", I said as he took of his shirt.
"What?" He asked and I took a deep breathe.
"I'm a virgin."
He stopped immediately and took his shirt back on. His eyes were filled with disbelief and... shook.
"Virgin? You're a virgin?" He covered his face. "I don't want you to lose it like this! I mean, come on! I'm very honoured and all but I just-"
I started to giggle as I looked away. His hands drifted slowly from his face, revealing his dark eyes again.
"I gave my virginity to my first secret boyfriend during senior year", I giggled. His face was priceless. "But... my mom forced me to end it so we only did it once."
As I finished that sentence he crashed his lips against mine and I arched my back. I gasped for air he wasn't going to give me. He pinned me down and kissed my jawline, neck, going to my collarbone. I blushed by this new feeling he was sending through my body and I closed my eyes.
His lips came back to my jawline and traveled to my ear.
"I will make you forget him and only think of me tonight."
"Tell me your name", I demanded.
"Never."
"Where do you live?"
"Not on this beach", he chuckled and kissed my neck.
"Give me anything", I pleaded. He kissed my lips gently while taking my top off, leaving me in my bra.
"I'm your mysterious lover, baby. That's all."
"You're really keeping this away from me."
"Hush, baby. You're talking too much." He crashed his lips against mine again and I wrapped my arms around him without hesitating.
Foolish, reckless and absolutely crazy.
Probably the best night of my life...
The way he touched and kissed me... He wrapped me around his fingers and I didn't even notice it. I bit my lips as he kissed my stomach all the way to my legs and I blushed. In one smooth move I got on top and traced my fingertips from his abs to his neck while kissing his neck. He growl came from him and he didn't hesitate to get on top again.
The rest of the night we were lost into each other. With every touch, with every kiss, with every gasp. Nothing else mattered in the world except us two on that beach with the stars and moon as our only light.
