HANDSOME BUT DAMNED - Attraction Read online

  «I'm not going to leave you. I couldn't live without you.» His words are reassuring but not enough. It all happened so quickly. For a moment I forgot that it was returned. I need a shower, I want to be alone for a moment. Slide away but it picks up immediately into his arms.

  «You don't do it».

  «What I do?» I ask.

  «I don't wrinkle yourself. You talk to me.» I still don't understand how he can know me so well. But I don't want to talk right now. Back by giving him a kiss.

  «I'm fine» I try to reassure him. I know you don't believe in it but does not insist.

  A nice refreshing shower was just what we needed. Return to the room but there is no trace of him. It went away?

  Before you panic, sell in the rest of the House, until I find him leaning against the kitchen counter that talking on the phone. I can't help but admire her perfect butt. To be taken off. OK, focus. This is no time to drool.

  «Perfect. A couple of hours and we arrive. » he closes the call while team my body from head to toe. I guess I got caught. I recognize that mischievous smile.

  «Have you ever been in motion?» Approaching slowly stroking my arms. Please, don't stop. What was the question? Ah, Yes, if you've never been on a motorcycle. Ever. Knowing him, I will bring us ever. I nod falsely.

  «Well. Why Logan and Claire are waiting for us. » «Where are we going?» I ask.

  «I don't know, we go on an adventure» he whisper on my lips. Yes of course. And I'm supposed to believe that? I can't stand it and burst out laughing at the absurdity that has just said.

  «You, Erik Truston, adventure?» I wonder chuckling.

  «I'm trying to change for you. And then your friend is a pain in the ass,

  he insisted.» This I'm not buying it, I know him better than my hand.

  «Would you tell me that you haven't already decided where we're going? You haven't booked any hotel and you haven't already arranged what we do all the time?» I cross my arms waiting. He not responding, this confirms that I'm right. I can't help but laugh. Looks like a kid caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

  «You quiet, your secret's safe with me» I say. All this is hilarious.

  The bike hurtling fast but I'm not afraid, I feel an adrenaline rush.

  My hands are wrapped tightly to his body. It is a wonderful feeling. I follow him in movements that does without hesitating, I trust him. Even if it's your first time, I feel comfortable. After a two hour trip we stop at a hotel in the mountains. Very rustic. Just how I like it.

  Honestly, I don't know where we are. I should be attentive to the signs but I was too busy fantasizing. I fantasized about what he is sexy while riding the bike. And clothing from motorcycle wearing we want to talk about?

  He had gone home to change and when it occurred to me, wrapped in a biker outfit, was going to get a heart attack. I had to resist the temptation to jump on him, was not the time to think about such things. But at least a nod to his lower back I gave it. I couldn't resist. There's nothing I can do about it, the flesh is flesh.

  «You okay?» he asks and he removing the motorcycle helmet . So I was thinking, that I didn't notice that we're not moving. His hands lifting my helmet, his face close to mine. I know what you're waiting for but do I ignore it. Sometimes I like to play this game. I look into his eyes but he's watching my mouth. I want you to kiss me and I know he wants the same thing. But I can provoke him and want to see if it resists. Port hand on his face without looking away. Slowly I slide two fingers on his neck to get off more and more down. I stop taking the hook of the hinge and slowly scroll down to the crotch of the suit. I look so mischievous, he understood. I'm not going to stop me. My hands slip inside, finally I can touch his chest. Even if wearing a shirt, I can feel his muscles. My fingers slide slowly up and down, I wonder how much will endure.

  «You are diabolical» he mumbles arching his head.

  «It is a shame that you don't want to take advantage of it» I say with sultry voice.

  «You know I would make the same game?» he asks in a whisper.

  I know I can but doesn't have the forces. All this he likes as much as me. His hungry mouth search mine, finally. We kiss passionately, while our hands roam over each other's bodies.

  «Lovebirds, for these things exist in the bedroom.» Claire's voice interrupts our magical moment. Erik emits a groan of disapproval, while I Snort.

  «I want old Claire» I slur on her lips.

  «What do you mean by that?» she asked tartly. Oops, he heard.

  «I'm just saying you're different lately.»

  She crosses her arms in protest, while his gaze remains fixed on me. I can't stand it, when she does that makes me die. Should I remain serious but with that fake pout which she makes is impossible. Laughing bringing his hand to my mouth to limit the damage but is of little use. As if that weren't enough even Erik I will follow.

  «You never mind, I love you as you are» he trying to comfort her husband. The caressing her hair and then kiss her fervently.

  Sorry, before criticizing us and she now makes it worse? Looks like an eel. Sheer madness.

  we arrived at the reception we are given two keys to our rooms. I love the atmosphere there is. It has something romantic.

  «Guys, how about if tonight you and I sleep together and you guys do the same?» The idea of Claire's cute. Long time no hang out together. But I also think Erik, we got back together recently.

  «You forget it, I got my love for less than 48 hours and I have no plans to part with her for a while» he protest. As I thought. My friend raise their hands in surrender, shaking his head. I can't help but smile. Sometimes it seems that they compete on who has to spend more time with me.

  «Floret!».

  Only one person calls me that way.

  «Robert! » I said swinging me around.

  Chapter 25

  What is he doing here? With all the places there were, why here? Not now. Someone up there has a bad sense of humor. Erik look at me and then the man who smiles at me.

  «Baby, you don't say hello?» he question. But also no. You are in the wrong place at the wrong time. He looks like a damn of Erik, he approach by giving me a kiss on the cheek. I drop back a step to put a little distance between us but he doesn't seem to work.

  «What's up, floret?» he asks puzzled. There is that my boyfriend is going to eat you alive. Erik glower at him. I am going to respond but Erik gets in our midst.

  «Who are you?» Erik growls.

  «Her ex-boyfriend. And you?» he asks Robert.

  «I'm her boyfriend» he meets menacing. OK, the presentations were made. I think it's better to decamp. I don't like how they are putting things.

  «Robert, was nice to see you again but now we really have to go» I tell a gentle tone. I grab him by the arm and Erik I lead to the elevator.

  «See you around, floret» giggles my ex.

  Damn him, why should I do so? I know he's doing it on purpose. He realized how irritated Erik.

  «I don't think so» I slur under his breath. I look at Claire while smiling, I don't understand what's funny. My boyfriend very jealous has just made the acquaintance of my former shameless. Worse than that you die. Erik's hand tightens decided on my side, too.

  «You and I need to talk, floret» he whispers on my hair. Oh, shit. I don't like it when you talk like that. I'm sure that will make me questioning. Snort at the idea as I watch my friend. You laugh, you bitch, I'd like to see you at my place. I hate it when he does that. It seems she likes seeing Erik furious. Too bad that his fury you cast on me.

  Arrived in the room slamming the door violently making me WinCE. Let's start the ball rolling.

  «Who the heck is that asshole?» he yells approaching. We got back together for less than 48 hours and already yells. Should I encourage you to participate in an anger management course. It would need.

  «We have been together three months»' I say sitting on the bed.

  «When?»

  «6 months
ago» answer staring blankly at him.

  «He was important?» he asks looking down. The idea that I was with another man sends him on a rampage, I had to wait for him since it's very possessive.

  «I would say no, since I'm here,» I answer.

  «Come on, let's change hotel» he says taking his backpack.

  I will not change this property, this time he will have won.

  «You want to change Hotel because Robert is here? Then what should I say? I should ask you to change any place where there is a woman that you screwed? »

  «Holy shit!» shouts pulling a punch at the door. I never expected a reaction like that. Is beside himself. I never liked his side. It's scary. I'm not afraid but I'm not even going to sit here with him in this State.

  «I'm going downstairs to the bar. When you've calmed your spirits, you know where to find me.» The overtaking without I look him. I know you hate him but says nothing. Better this way.

  There's no one at the bar, which I don't mind. I know it's morning and I shouldn't but I really need something alcoholic, and that it is strong. Because it has to make everything so difficult? I don't ask for much, just love.

  Every opportunity to destroy some pleasant moments. I love him but when it acts thus, puts everything into question. More than give it all my heart, I don't know what else to do. I know you're jealous, too.

  But his reactions are exaggerated. Around the glass in my hands deep in thoughts, when you lay a hand on my shoulder. At last. I was hoping it to be.

  «You are thoughtful, floret?». No, please. You are the last person I'd like to see.

  «What do you want, Robert?» I wonder exasperated. I wonder how it managed to stay three months with one as well. Maybe I know why. Erik. Forgot I tried everything. Nothing. He was my first thought in the morning and the last at night.

  «I don't like to see you sad. If you want we can make out a bit» he whispers resting his hand on my shoulder.

  I'm about to retort but the presence of someone else catches my eye. Erik, very angry, advancing towards us. Just what we need this.

  «Get your hands off my girl» Erik thunders his voice. I feel like watching a boxing match. Watch Erik but he is too busy to electrocute his gaze Robert.

  Maybe I should do something, I don't like where this is taking the situation. I stop to watch him: he contracted jaw and his hands are clenched. Is about to explode.

  «I suggest you immediately clean your hand if you want to get out of here alive» growls between the teeth. In a few steps approaching, pulling him with arrogance. Hey, I'm not an object! Forget it, I'm liable only to add fuel to the fire.

  «See you around, floret» giggles my former backing away. Before leaving you time to send me a flying kiss. This is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Shot in the foot by blocking promptly Erik, know he'd want to punch.

  Can you blame him, Robert acted like an asshole. He had no respect for my report. I leave the arms of Erik and I approach threatening to Robert, who looks at me confused.

  «First: you don't ever call me floret». Second: you and I don't see you ever again. And third: you're an asshole.»

  Robert looks at me incredulous but I will not dwell on him. I'm not interested. I turn to Erik watching him badly.

  «You» I say pointing him «you're a moron if you become jealous of someone like that.» I don't give him the time to say anything, that I'm already leaving.

  But just because I deal with jerks? Looks like I'm wearing a magnet to attract them.

  Got to the room I'll jump on the bed and sank her head into the pillow. I'm tired of all this. Throw punches the pillow as if it were the cause of all my problems and I can't resist the temptation to give voice to a hysterical scream. Were to be two days of fun among friends.

  As I find myself?

  Alone, with a stupid guy who hasn't figured out that I have eyes only for him. Why can't I have a moment of peace and quiet? The click of the lock shows me that he came back. I hope for him that he's given to calm down. I swear, if he continues to do the Troglodyte, I leave here and go home. I hear the steps and then the mattress is lowered under his weight. I remain steadfast with his head crushed on the pillow, waiting say or do anything.

  «I'm sorry» says slipping with his hand on my back. Did I just hear right? To him? The guy makes progress but only for a few things. I did not want to be mad at him, so I decide to act instinctively. I grab it from the link luring him to me, and then bring my mouth near her. Her lips slightly and then back out infinity.

  «You thanks, I love you too much to be mad at you.»

  «I will try not to get mad again» whispers just before merging my lips to his.

  «I want you».

  «You don't know how much it costs me to refuse. Others are waiting for us under» satisfies among small kisses. I get up puffing but I can't oppose. We are not alone. I just hope I don't meet more Robert, I want to spend two days in peace.

  «Finally, I was starving» Mumbles Claire stroking his belly. Oh my God! My friend is acting like a truck driver. What happened to his class and elegance?

  We settle down at the table smiling, our fingers are intertwined all the time. Sometimes Erik whispers something sweet, which makes me blush. I had missed this its side.

  «Guys, we need to report a story» says Logan. Surely it is something nice because they seem happy.

  «I'm pregnant» she exclaims excited my friend. My mouth opens wide with astonishment. I should have been prepared for something like that but I'm not.

  «Congratulations, guys. Love, did you hear? We will become uncles.» Wow! Erik happy, that's another surprising thing.

  «You're pregnant ... you ... you have a baby? I'm going to be aunt» seemed bloody stupid, I know, but Claire was pregnant. My Claire, parties, fashion and partying is pregnant. We realize? Her mothers. Oh, poor baby, she doesn't know what to expect. I realize that everyone look at me freaked out since.

  «Promise me you will not kill your son in a moment of madness. Promise me I can spoil them as I want without discussions» I say looking at her in the eyes. Logan and Erik burst into laughter, instead Claire looks at me appalled.

  «Why on earth would I kill my son? Are you crazy?».

  «Oh, trust me, sometimes it seems that the devil shall possess thee I contradict myself. Logan and Erik agree with my words, shaking his head. My friend reacts nudging her husband. Then I look serious for a few seconds until it bursts out laughing. I'm glad he took it well, I was already imagining my body in some ditch.

  We spend almost all the afternoon talking about children and plans for the future. To my surprise I discover that Erik really like kids. Who would have thought? We need to see if you'd like one of his own. But I feel? Why do I do these thoughts? I admit that I often thought about what it would be like to have a family with him, but I don't think it's something doable. And then it's too early to think about these things. Cast away those thoughts trying to concentrate on the conversation. Claire is telling how he found out I was pregnant and how did Logan. They seem over the Moon and this could not please me. Maybe someday I'll try this. Who knows.

  Chapter 26

  Today, it is a horrible day for me, it was my parents' death anniversary, at this time my only wish was to stay in Erik's arms, but he was away for work, I needed him more than ever, but not to worry about it I had avoided telling him what day it was today.

  He had asked me to leave with him, but I didn’t feel it, I would not be company. This morning, I went running, thinking of venting a little bit, but nothing, I don’t want to do anything, they miss me too much.

  The telephone ring, distanced me from thoughts, was Clair; she knew very well that day was today, she never forgets. She asked me if I wanted her to come, but I told her no, I don’t want nobody to see me in this state.

  I told her that I would go for a walk, though lazy. Clair, has always been next to me, she’s not a simple friend, she's like a sister for me.

  I would have liked her co
mpany, but I couldn’t make her sad, as she was expecting a baby.

  I spent the morning looking at the ceiling lost in the memories, thinking of all the things, I did with my parents and every time I made them angry; if I could go back, I would do better. I wondered if they were proud of me, if they were happy that I had found the love of my life. How much I would like to see them and hear their voices, even for a second. At one point I looked at the phone. It was Erik's message, saying he didn’t see the time to come back to me and that he loved me.

  I also replied that I loved him. As much as I wanted to be with me at this moment, in my arms, hoping that this day would pass early, I had cried all day, I had swollen eyes, hopefully tomorrow will see nothing.

  They knocked on the door, I jumped from the couch, who knows who was at 7 in the evening, I hope not Clair. It was Erik, had been informed by Clair and had rushed to me as soon as possible.

  She didn’t have to call him. He has his commitments, his job, I don’t want them to neglect them for me. He hugged me with words of sweet words, and I let myself fall between his arms, sobbing.

  He held me tight all night, I couldn’t wish for better. I love him, I have seen the dark for too long, and finally he had brought the light into my life.

  Chapter 27

  It's already been a month since I went with Erik, I want to make him a special surprise.

  The morning passes quickly as I take appointments with new clients that I have been entrusted. One in particular that will also be the first appointment of the day catches my eye, Stephen Grant of Grant Company, found himself accused of harassment sexuality towards employees, perhaps why he requested.

  Finally at home I send a message to Erik to define the schedule for the evening:

  "Love, meet me at my place for the 7.00 pm. I love you."

  His response is immediate:

  "Ok, baby. See you later."

  Sometimes I wonder if it works, it is always attached to the phone. Its immediate responses. I, on the other hand, are the opposite. So many times I don't even know where my phone. I spend all afternoon to cook and set the table. I got something really special for him. Will surely appreciate. Put some candles around the House, background music and I can say that now everything is ready. But I still dress up and make up. Damn! I forgot to prepare myself. I need to move fast. I decide to wear the dress that I had the first time I saw the show, I wonder if it will recognize it. I kept it as a souvenir of the evening. It was there that it all started.
