Chapter 55

“Let me guess. Colton snitched again.” I said while sniffing.

“He’s a good friend.”

“You’re just saying that because he tells you where I am.” I chuckled before sniffing again. “He seems to love kissing your ass, huh.”

“He does.”

“I thought you’re mad at me.” I wiped the tears that incessantly fell towards my cheeks.

Nile unwrapped his arms from me. I panicked for a bit before I could see that he only moved to sit beside me on the couch.

“I’m disappointed… that you don’t trust me with these things, Kura. I know this is a sensitive topic for you however… I’m not just someone else who you could brush off easily.”

He didn’t look at me as he spoke. His eyes were distant and his face was blank. I closed my eyes in despair and guilt. I screwed up. I admit that.

“I’m sorry.” I held a sob. God, I don’t know why I’m being extra emotional right now. I was afraid that he’s mad at me and then finally ignored me which he never does. I’d rather he gets furious like a tornado than silently get mad. It cuts way deeper for me.

He was silent so I started to explain to him why I was like this. He listened quietly without any questions. I was nervous because I don’t know what he thinks about this… of me.

I saw him clenching his fists with a face holding an unreadable expression.

Throughout the story, I realized I didn’t want this to happen to him. Even I don’t want this to happen to Nixon, that’s why I rejected him.

After telling him, he was staring into space with a frown etched on his perfectly carved face. I sighed before speaking my thoughts.

“I think we should stop our relationship.”

He whipped his head swiftly toward my direction. His eyes were wide before scowling.

“What the fuck did you say?!” He was furious.

“I said we should just stop.”

“Kura.” He spoke my name through gritted teeth. “Don’t be absurd. What’s our relationship got to do with your family problems?”

Somehow that statement irked me.

I glared. “I just don’t want you to choose between me and your family. Don’t you get it, Nile?! Your mother doesn’t like me. She may tolerate my presence but that doesn’t mean she likes me for you. I’d rather we stop than let you choose!”

“Shut up! Don’t decide for me. I decide for myself! Not even my mother who gave birth to me will decide for my sake.”

I scoff. “Yeah, okay.” I said sarcastically. “You don’t seem to get it, do you? All I want is for you not to fight your parents over our relationship, over me! I know you, Nile. I know you enough that you will fight for us! If that happens… you will only break your relationship with your family.” I said dejectedly. I looked down as I remembered my past. “Why do you think I’m like this? The only family I have are my friends. You have your mom and dad. My mom is dead. My father… doesn’t give a shit about me. If I have the chance to have a family like yours, I will cherish it.”

Nile grabbed my face with his hands and raised it so I could look at him. “I don’t have to choose. I don’t have to fight. Because lyuBImaya… I will have everything. I will have my family. I will have my status. And most of all, I will have you. I will give up nothing. If you want to give up on us, then fine. But know that I won’t ever give up on you. You are mine. The moment you seduced me that stormy night, you signed the rest of your life to me. Only me!”

Oh my god. I’m crying again.

“How do you always know the right words to say?” I asked as he wiped the tears from my cheeks. His thumb stroked it softly and affectionately. “Your mom doesn’t like me.” I reiterated which sounded like a whine.

He chuckled lightly. “You don’t need to worry about my mom. She’s always cold to all the women who approach me. I will let her understand that the only woman I want in my life is you.”

“What if she disagrees? I know I’m not the perfect woman, Nile. I mean look at me. I remembered how you were disgusted by me when we first met. I’m sure your mother feels the same way.”

“Who needs a perfect woman when I get to love and fuck you?” I scowled as I smacked his arm.

“I was just joking.” He said with a laugh.

“That’s not funny, you insatiable freak! I guess now it’s confirmed that you only wanted my body.” He then wraps his arms around my waist and cuddles his nose against my neck. I sense him inhale my scent and kiss my shoulder and neck.

“I want you and everything about you.” He muttered. We stayed like this for a while before he let go and spoke again. “About your family. I'm sorry that this happened to you. I wish I could do something to fix it but it's not as simple as using my power to destroy someone." I laughed at his remark which made him smile.

"Colton was right when he advised you to at least see your father. I guess you can say that it serves as a closure. He’s still your dad no matter what. He may be suffering right now and he’s searching for peace with his only daughter.”

I felt the warmth of his fingers stroking my cheeks. “How the fuck did you have a goddamn character development and I didn’t?”

Nile laughs heartily at my statement. “You still haven’t fallen in love with me, lyuBImaya. That would be the greatest development in this story.”

I moved away from his touch and created a little distance. I crossed my arms and glared at him. “You said it as if I don’t know how to fall in love.”

He chuckles before beckoning me towards him. “Come, lyuBImaya. Stop acting adorable and come to my embrace.”

Like a woman being enchanted, I allowed myself to swallow in his embrace. Instead of wrapping my arms around him, I reached for his neck and met my lips with his. This caught him by surprise but succumbed to my advances anyway.

The kiss turned into heated and more passionate. I felt myself pushing Nile against the couch, straddling his hips with eagerness.

“Kura…” He spoke in between airs. “You’re drunk.”

“Hmmn.” I moaned and deepened the kiss, placing my hand to his chest to push him to lie down on the soft material.

“I don’t want to take advantage of you like this.” He whispered.

I realized the alcohol already hit me real bad.

I grind my hips against his, teasing him even more. As much as he was trying to be a gentleman today, he couldn’t deny his growing erection. I moaned with an extra grind to spite him.

“Kura… stop.” He tried to push me away from him but I didn’t let him. “Stop!” Our lips finally separated. “Your friend could walk right in on us.”

I didn’t listen and just removed my sweatshirt. My tits bounced in full show for him.

“Kura…” He groaned. “Don’t. I don’t want anyone to see you like this.” He growled which sounded so sexy. God. This man turns me on so much. I can’t get enough of him no matter how much I try to control myself.

I grabbed his shirt and pulled it open, buttons flying off to god knows where. I immediately feasted his neck down to his chest, to his abdomen. My hands fumbled to unbuckle his belt. I glanced up to see Nile closing his eyes while fighting his control. The veins on his hands popped as he clenched his fists. I smirked at the scene.

As I finally popped his pants open, I heard the door swung followed by Colton’s voice.

“Rose, what the fuck!”
