INTENSITY
The flames that keeps burning
AFTERWARD
23:11
I should have known that something would go wrong, no scratch that. I knew that something would go wrong, I could smell it. The smell was so pungent I probably could have tasted it if I had put my tongue out, the air was electrifying and the vibration was strong.
It all started with that damn game, I should probably kill that MC, because why would he say the chief bridesmaid should be blindfolded before entering the club, I'm not the newly wedded bride for heaven's sake!
Or maybe the person I should be killing is Chioma for imposing the stupid game after the MC suggested it, makes me wonder if it was her idea in the first place. I just wanted her to be happy, it's her day after all.
Now, I have to sit through the conversation I know is coming when all I want to do is pretend that this never happened.
"You know I can hear the wheel in your head churning very hard to come up with a thought. Did I really just numb your brain?"
I could hear the smile in his voice and I could feel my body softening at the sound of that voice. Why does he have this kind of effect on me though, how can I go into pieces just at the sound of his voice? It's crazy how I can throw caution to the wind when it comes to him. I mean, I just came to pieces in his arms (inside my frigging car no less) a few minutes ago. We can't even seem to find the decency to hold on till we get to my place. I would laugh if I didn't think I would be making another erroneous decision soon.
"Keji, open your eyes and look at me" His voice still has that I-just-got-laid sound and it's doing terrible things to my heart rate. I shook my head no.
"Keji" His voice sounds nearer and I can feel his weight lifted off of the seat beside me which means he's coming closer. Oh my, where can I move to, we are at the backseat of the car already.
"Look at me" Now his breath is on my lips, I have to say something fast!
"No Dike" I said softly. Too softly, what is wrong with my voice. Help!
"Yes Keji, look at me" He said softly too "I promise not to touch you if you look at me"
Not to touch me? His nearness is playing havoc to my senses and he's talking about not touching me. Ah, funny.
"I love your lips, always have. How did you manage to keep it soft?" I can almost feel him upon me and his gaze fastened on my lips now. This man seemed bent on shattering my senses.
"I can see your lips have gone dry right now, and I can see you fighting the urge not to lick it. If you don't open your eyes I will wet it for you"
My eyes flew open and it was a mistake because I can see the undeniable desire in his eyes.
"I lied. I have to touch you" He said hoarsely before covering my mouth with his.
