Chapter 156
Thea
Angel and I cleaned up and got dressed. We were heading back to the hall now. Knight was the one bugging his phone while we had sex. There was no text message from him so I was a bit relieved assuming it wasn’t so important.
“Won’t you call Knight to find out why he was calling.” I said to Angel as we stood before the elevator which soon paved it’s wings.
“I’m sure he just wants to know our whereabouts.” He seemed so sure, so I decided to give it a rest. We got into the elevator and Angel pressed the floor number. I didn’t pay attention to what he did but instead of going down I noticed we were heading up.
I looked at Angel as he stepped away to stand beside me. I was curious so I gave him a quizzical gaze.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“We’re heading up.” I said but a knowing smile crept up his face.
“I know.” He said eying me seductively which made me nervous. He walked towards me till he was standing a foot away. He placed his hands casually inside his pockets and burned me with his intense gaze.
“… And why is that?” I asked taking two step away which he followed covering up the distance.
He was taking my breath away in here. I had no idea what his plan was but my body felt excited despite yelling at it to stop.
“Are you afraid?” He asked tilting his head to study my expression more. I shoved a lump down my throat and moved back till my back hit an obstacle there was no where for me to move back to again. Angel enveloped me in the tiny space, his huge figure towering over me. I felt so small like he could squeeze the life out of me if he wanted.
“Why would I? You’d never hurt me.” I said, a little nervous. I trusted him but it seemed like he was trying to intimidate me.
“Oh… Really?” He said placing a hand on the to rest on the surface above me. He grabbed my waist and the tip of his nose tickled mine as it brushed against it.
My breath hitched then I began panting feeling nervous. “What are you doing?” I asked and he bit his lower lip sexily. I looked away but he directed my chin to him so that I looked at him. He had a seductive smile on his face and he was staring intensely at my lips.
“Someone could come in.” I whispered
“I don’t care.” He whispered back and brushed his lips softly against mine
“Hmm….” He deepened his kiss sucking pleasure cries out of my mouth. I was still on fire for him, I guess I was just too helpless to his charm. His fingers dug into my slit and he thrust a finger into my pussy causing my toes to curl.
I held his hand hoping to stop him from going further but he overpowered me and pushed more strokes into me.
“What are you doing to me?” I cried into his mouth and he continued to kiss me deeply while thrusting his fingers into me. He pulled away slowly but our lips still stood an inch apart.
“Getting you high.”
“That’s unfair….” My legs shook as he slid his finger out of my pussy. He stopped at my clit and whirled his finger over it. I pinned my hand against my lips to muffle my moans then he released me, stepping away with a proud smile on his face.
“You’re so pretty.” He mouthed, his eyes full of admiration which caused my heart to blossom with joy. I adjusted my hair stylishly and cleared my throat before standing close to him.
He took my hand and intertwined it with his then we exchanged glances and I ended up the shy one.
The door soon opened and we stepped out.
“Still not telling me.” I couldn’t help it. I was curious but then I sighted a hotel assistant and looked at Angel to be sure what we needed one for.
“You’ll see.” He said as if reading my mind.
We were greeted by the assistant then we followed behind her and I passed a shocked look at Angel when I realized we were heading to the rooftop.
A card was slot into the door and we were ushered into the space.
“How did you… oh my goodness!” I said excitedly and rushed into his arms for a hug which he reciprocated.
“I didn’t think it would be a big deal, I just wanted to show you the view from here. I got Don Ricardo to give me a pass.” I pulled away from the hug maintaining the smile on my face.
“I love it. Thank you.” I said and hiked my feet to kiss him on the lip and he froze for some seconds.
“What?” I asked enjoying the look on his face. He looked around suspiciously then tugged me to his chest causing me to gasp.
“We can’t do that out here Thea.” He said in a sultery voice that got me wet instantly. I gathered myself and pulled away from him but he pulled me back in again.
“I never said we were.” I defended and he cocked his head in disbelieve. “Seriously….”
He chuckled and let me go. I turned around splaying my hands apart to feel the chill from the night’s breeze.
“They seem to be working on it?” I said running further into the space. I turned around excitedly to look at Angel and he had a smile all over his face with both hands fitted into his pockets.
“They plan to make it a rooftop restaurant.” He said taking slow steps to cover up the distance between us.
“Really?” I was excited imagining how it would turn out. “Can we come here sometime?” I said smiling expectantly. Silence fell and in that moment I realized myself.
My smile faded, I was still his prisoner. I rubbed my right arm with the left feeling cold all of a sudden. I bent my head to avoid Angel’s gaze but I could hear him nearing me till he stood before me.
“Of course, we can come here.” He said and I raised my head slowly to look at him. I squinted my eyes at him. Was he being serious?
“We can have a proper date too.” He smiled at me and my lips parted as if to utter a word but I shut it instantly. I was happy.
“You’d really take me on a date?” I asked to be sure again.
“I’d be honored if you accept.”
“Yes … I’d love to go on a date with you.” I said and in that moment of excitement we locked lips together, his fingers ran over my back in a passionate touch. Our lips tangled in love and danced in rythm to each other’s movement.
This was an incredible night, one I’d never forget. We pulled away slowly letting lose our lips.
I sucked my lips and looked down. I felt shy and I didn’t know why. I should be used to him by now.
“Let’s enjoy the view.” I said breaking the silence but Angel pulled me back into his arms when I tried to step away. My breath came out shaky, the tension was getting to me. I gulped hard and exhaled deeply. I needed to say something and break away. I needed air cause he was sucking it out of my lungs.
“You can’t keep your hands off me can you?”
“Hmm… I thought you liked it.” He teased. Of course, he knew I did. I wanted to reply when his next words cut me off. “I know of some women who would die for my touch.” He continued teasing but my chest squeezed painfully.
“Like who?” I asked sounding serious.
“At the strip club? Lots of them and outside of it? A number of them you don’t know about.”
Jealousy engulfed me, there was no doubt I had competitions, Angel was an incredibly attractive man so it was just fair.
“Would you touch them?” I didn’t know why I was trying to get my heart broken. Was I expecting him, a mafia lord, who could have as many women as he’d love to be loyal to me?
“Maybe.” His words pierced into my heart stabbing it into a million pieces. “Hey… Thea? I’m kidding okay.” He said observing that I wasn’t finding it funny.
“It’s fine. Do whatever you want. Your the boss anyway.” I said and turned away from him.
“Thea?” He called coming after me.
“Stay away from me.” I yelled still moving forward. I didn’t want him to see me messed up because at this point I couldn’t stop my tears. My insecurities overwhelmed me now. I was scared of losing him, I was scared of being cheated on. Maybe Angel was my Karma for the hearts I broke in the past. How could I expect a loyal man when I broke off relationships because I couldn’t be loyal myself.
I lived carelessly and now I was going to be doomed by love.
I couldn’t imagine life without him. What if he got bored? What if he was confused about his feeling and what if his love wasn’t strong enough to hold on to me alone. Could I ever be enough for him?
Thoughts kept flooding into my head and it didn’t make things any easier for me. I tried so hard to hold back my tears but I was overwhelmed my emotions that it streamed down freely.
“Thea… I’m sorry. I had no idea you were being serious.” He kept on apologizing. Even though he sounded genuine I couldn’t help my heart for feeling pain and fear. “Thea….” His voice sounded close and I knew he was right behind me. I stretched my hand behind me signaling him to stop but he held it instead and slowly turned me around to face him.
He looked shocked the moment he saw my teary eyes.
“What have I done?” He sounded disappointed. “I should have kept my mouth shut, fuck!” I didn’t mean any of it, believe me Thea.
“Angel….” I called breathingly.
“Yes.”
“I’m scared.” I said and burst out in tears.
“You’re getting me worried Thea. Please talk to me.”
“What if you get bored?”
“Of you? I’d never.” He said immediately.
“What if you are confused about your feelings?”
“I’m not. I’m sure about it more than I am sure about my name.”
“What if your love isn’t strong enough?”
“What is this about Thea? What’s wrong?” He held my hands firmly as if to reassure me. He looked very confused and worried altogether.
“I don’t want to share you.” I said and he paused for some seconds.
“What do you mean?” I shut my eyes as more tears streamed down my eyes. I felt his thumb caress my cheek. “Is that what you’re so afraid of? I sniffed back my tears and opened my eyes.
“My heart is too fragile Angel. I can’t bear to lose you. I don’t ever want to lose you.” I cried out and without saying a word, Angel pulled me in for a hug stroking my hair soothingly.
“You won’t, I promise.” I pulled away from the hug and wiped my tears off.
“Please, don’t break my heart Angel.”
“Why are you saying all this?” I clutched my dress firmly as I peered deeply into his eyes.
He was everything. He had captured my heart and soul in a way I never thought was possible.
“Why? Is there something I need to know.” His worried expression had faded and his eyes were more expectant. There was no point holding back my feelings. “Talk to me. Please.”
I swallowed hard and sniffed back my tears then I pryed my lips open to speak the words I had guarded so fearfully.
“… Because I’m in love with you.”
