Chapter 26

" This is serious " Liam said thoughtfully.

She nodded " I know "

" But it happens you know so I'm not surprised " He added.

She threw him a glare " I know, I'm asking you what she can do in this situation "

He shrugged " I don't know, it's up to her to decide "

She stood up and placed her hands on her hips " If I knew this is what you would say, I wouldn't have invited you over "

" Cut it out Carla, you know I can't really help in this situation, it's up to her. You just wanted to see me, admit it " He said darkly.

" That's not true! " She exclaimed, exasperated.

" It's true Bella " He said softly and stood up too. He walked towards her slowly and she took steps backwards. He continued walking towards her and she ran off to the closest direction. She ran into the room before she realized it was her bedroom. Oh no, this was bad. It was too late to run out as she saw Liam come in and closed the door.

" Nice choice, baby " He said softly and came towards her slowly.

He moved like a predator would when it sighted its prey. Carla took frantic steps backwards until she came up against the wall. Her cheeks had turned rosy and her eyes bright as she stared up at him. Her lips trembled slightly as she watched him come closer. Her heart beat faster and she got a tingling feeling down her back coupled with fear and excitement of what was to come.

" Carla " He whispered and his breath fanned the tendrils of her hair.

Her eyes drooped and she let the feeling of the intimate contact consumed her whole.

" Carla " He whispered again and tilted up her chin to look at him. Staring deeply into into his eyes, Carla felt she could get drowned by the intensity of his burning gaze. He leaned towards her and buried his head in the crook of her neck.

" Admit the fact that you called me to come over because you missed me " He said softly, raising up his head to look at her. She gave no reply but her action said it all.

She drew his head back to where he previously placed it and combed her fingers through his soft, silky hair.

" Carla? " He called out quietly but the sound was muffled as he placed a soft kiss on her collarbone, earning a a soft moan from her.

" I know you like this, shall we do some more? I bet it'll be more fun than this " He asked, still kissing her neck.

Carla barely registered the meaning of his words in her head because she nodded eagerly without thinking much of what it entailed. That was the encouragement he needed for he connected his mouth with hers and made her move sideways. He guided her over to the bed while his lips was still on hers. She fell onto it with a soft sound and towered over her, drinking in her natural beauty. Her hair was sprawled over the bed which made her look like a goddess. Her lips were full and turned up in the form of pout, it made him want to ravish her completely.

He searched her face, trying to figure out what her exact feelings for him were but he found none except the hunger and eagerness for something sensual. He obliged and captured her mouth in another breathtaking kiss. Unintentionally, she bit his tongue and he let out a soft curse. Her eyes widened in shock at what she just did. His hot gaze burned into hers as he looked at her with an unreadable expression.

" Did you do that on purpose or you just haven't learned how to kiss yet? " He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Her nostrils flared in annoyance and she sneered " Of course it wasn't my intention to bit your tongue! "

" Oh really? But then, the least you could do is to apologize so why are you getting so worked up? " He asked with a smirk.

Carla didn't answer him, instead she got up from the bed and smoothened her gown which had risen far above her knees in the middle of their kiss. She walked to the door while Liam stared at her ass like a man starved of food for days. He gulped, trying to fight the urge to walk up to her and showed her just how much her gorgeous, voluptuous body needed to be worshipped. Carla opened the door and turned back to him, gesturing him to stand up. He spread his palms and raised his eyebrows to show her he didn't understand what she meant.

She sighed " Come out "

Liam crossed his leg over the other and met her gaze, he was surprised at her cold tone.

Carla let go of the doorknob and crossed her arms under her breasts " Liam, I just told you to get out of my room, it's late and you have to go "

" What if I don't want to? " He asked with a sly smile.

Carla glared at him but he met her stare without batting an eye . After some minutes, he stood up and shoved his hands into his pockets. For a minute, Carla thought he changed his mind on not leaving her room and was about to let out a sigh of relief, happy that her look had worked on him when he turned back abruptly and started walking towards her collection of photos, to her dismay.

" Liam " She called out, starting to get frustrated.

" What? "He answered, unperturbed and picked up a photo frame of her when she was little.

" How old were you when this picture was taken? Five? Six? " He asked, looking amused.

Carla rolled her eyes and came to him. She made to snatch the frame from him but he held back.

" Answer me Bella, how old were you when this picture was taken? " He repeated the question.

Carla knew he wouldn't give up so she replied " Five, happy now? " She threw him a glare.

He looked amused and she could see a hint of smile playing on his lips " You were such a cutie, still is. Hard to picture this little cutie is the spitfire standing before me, you sure have grown into a vixen "

Carla felt blush crept up her cheeks slowly as they became rosy " Give it back! " She yelled and reached out again to snatch it away from him but he held it high above her head.

For the first time, Carla cursed her short height. All her life, she had been told her height was normal for a lady but right now, she felt she was too short. Damn him! Why did he have to be such a jerk? She asked herself.

Her jaw set stubbornly, she made up her mind to have her picture back, come hell or water and she was going to show him just how stubborn she could be once she was determined to do something. Giving him a sly smile, she jumped and stretched a hand but he was quick to take the photo frame out of her reach. She ended up rubbing her body against his and he groaned audibly.

" Try that again Bella, and we'll end up in that bed the second time and I promise you, nothing would stop me from fucking you this time "

Carla's breath caught up in her throat and she processed his words. She moved back quickly as if she was burned by the physical contact. She looked away and placed a hand on her chest to steady her racing heart.

" I guess your heart is racing, racing for me, huh? " He winked at her.

She glared " In your dreams! " She spatted out angrily.

Liam laughed unexpectedly " Get your acts together Bella, I was kidding when I said I would fuck your pussy till you wouldn't be able to walk, I have no intentions of doing that before we say the ' I Do ' part, is that okay? "

" You're so naughty! " Carla exclaimed, wide eyed and rushed out of the room, the sound of Liam's laughter followed her all the way to the living room.

He came out a few minutes later, searching the room until his gaze finally rested on hers " You had a happy life growing up Bella, that alone makes me happy " He commented in all seriousness.

Carla couldn't explain why she felt happy with his comment but she wasn't allowed to ponder over it for long as he took his car keys from the table.

" I'm leaving, I'll see you later I guess " He said quietly.

Instantly, Carla felt a dread feeling of sadness within her. She wanted him to leave so badly so why was she feeling this way when he finally said he wanted to leave? Because you've grown to like him, a voice in her head said.

" Oh you're leaving? " She asked in pretence.

He raised one eyebrow " I just said it, is something wrong? "

She shook her head quickly, shoving down the feeling of disappointment in the depth of her stomach " Oh nothing, we'll see later then " She stood up and preceded him to the door.

Liam followed her quietly but his attention was on something else. His eyes were glued to her rear end and he wondered if he would ever get tired of staring at her ass. She got to the door and looked back and looked back abruptly. He wouldn't say her movement was abrupt because of he knew she would have to look back at some point, he just didn't expected it to be so soon. Still he blinked twice, embarrassed at being caught and he tried to maintain a straight face.

She sneered " There there! You're doing I again! "

He feigned oblivious to what she said and raised his eyebrows " What am I doing? "

She huffed " Don't you dare act all coy with me! I caught you staring at my ass! "

" You're so unbelievable! And naughty! " She added and flung her arms up in the air to show just how frustrated she was with him.

He smirked " Do I have anything else to entertain me? This, " He pointed a finger in the direction of her ass " is the most interesting thing here. Ah, and your cute pictures " He laughed.

Carla's eyes widened and her cheeks became flushed with embarrassment. She slapped his hand away and glared " Ugh! You're unbelievable! If I had known just how useless your coming would be, I wouldn't have told you to come over! "

He placed a hand over his heart and had on a fake, sad expression " Ouch Bella, you just broke my heart! "

She placed her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes " Not good enough, I wish it would shred into pieces "

" Then there wouldn't be a place for you to stay in here " He said in all seriousness, tapping a finger over his heart softly.

Carla looked startled for a moment, wondering what on earth he meant by that but she regained her composure quickly enough " Is there any reason for me be there? "

He stared at her for a full minute as if he could see straight into her soul. Carla started to shift uncomfortably under his pinned gaze, she felt uneasy and wondered if she had said the wrong thing again. Then his eyes lightened to a lighter shade of its color and he pouted.

" But we kissed, so my coming was not so useless! " He whined.

Carla rolled her eyes, knowing he had ignored her last question intentionally " Yeah sure it wasn't " She said sarcastically and got outside.

She didn't hear his footsteps behind her so she looked back, only for her to see he was staring at her ass again and his hands were shoved into his side pockets.

She gritted her teeth " I just told you not to stare at my ass again, it's gross! "

His eyes twinkled with mischief " Why should I stop? It's pretty exciting and thinking about the fact that it's all mine makes me get excited the more " and he laughed.
