19

I turned back to see Dylan standing rigidly on a rock holding his coat from flying. His hair was swept and covering his face a little bit which he pushed back. The lights of the villa were the only source of light. His question had taken me off guard beside his presence.  

"No." I leveled with him. "What are you doing here?"  

"I just wanted to get away." He straightened his coat. "Are you cold?"  

Every word he spoke was taking me off guard. I had noticed a certain change in his behavior for the past 2-3 days. Even the slight change was a relief to me. He was behaving less rigid now.  

"No, I am not." I looked in front and very carefully sat down.  

Suddenly I was wrapped in a warm thick material which turned out to be Dylan's coat.  

"You were shivering." He whispered and sat beside me but at a safe distance.

The coat was so warm comfortable that I snuggled in it. I looked towards him as he gazed out. I had so many questions to ask but I had no idea from where to start. We remained silent for a long time.  

"I am sorry." I began.  

"About what?" He asked surprisingly.  

"I slapped you that day. I am so sorry about that."  

"Don't. You don't have to."  I kept quiet as I watched him. He was deep in thought. I swear I could pass my time watching him like that. "I want to know." I blinked again.  

"What?" I weakly replied.  

"What happened thirteen years ago."  

"You already know it."  

"I want to know it through you."  His reply was firm determined and honest. I bent my head and turned away in thought.

"Why do you want to know?"  

"I just want to."  I kept quiet for a while having an internal debate.  

"Do you real-"  

"Yes, I do."  

Alright, he knows most of it what's left anyway.  

"Thirteen years ago-" I took a deep breath.  

"C'mon now honey open the door. It's okay."  

I saw a lady cop with an umbrella in her hand smiling at me and urging me to let her in. I didn't open the door as I wasn't sure about it. There were some sirens ringing outside and many red and blue lights blinking again and again. The neighbors had come out of their house whining and confused about all the commotion in the middle of the night. Mom and dad were already very late and Dad had promised me he will tuck me in again tonight. I saw Mrs. Harley talking to the same lady with the umbrella very seriously. She looked upset and kept on glancing towards me. She covered her mouth weirdly and paled as soon as the lady with the umbrella had started talking. After sometime I saw Mrs. Harley coming towards our house and I opened the window which was in front of the porch.

"Hey dear."  

"Hi, Mrs. Harley. Why are the cops here?"  

"Well dear, they are here to take you to your Mom and dad."  

"Why? Mom and dad are on their way. They told me."  

"Well dear, they are stuck somewhere so they have told that lady to take you to them." She pointed at the lady with the umbrella who was now talking to some other man in the same dress.  

"Oh, that's why they are late." Mrs. Harley weakly smiled at me. There was something odd about the way she smiled. The whole thing was very odd to me but I just tried to ignore it. "Hey, Mrs. Harley. You don't look well."  

"Uh, no honey it's just that it's too late and I am tired."  

"Okay, Mrs. Harley you get well soon!"  

"You too dear, you too." She whispered sadly. I knew Mrs. Harley was sad. I was ten and I could tell that. But I didn't know why. The lady in the car silently smiled at me rubbing and patting my back.  

Something was wrong.  

The flashlights blinked blinding me after the dark journey. The storm was not strong and it rained heavily. Blinking my one eye open I saw a couple of nurses and doctors wheeling in a patient. They look awfully worried and spoke fast. I was supposed to meet my mom and dad.

What was I doing here?  

The lady cop led me to a room where I saw two familiar people lying on the bed with bruised faces and cuts.  

Three days later...

"Darling, did you pack accordingly how I told you too?"  "

Yes mommy. But where are we going?"  

"It's only you darling. Dad and I are going to stay here for a while."  

"Me all alone?!"  

"Not exactly. We'll be there."  

"I don't understand, mommy."  

"I have got a gift for you." She smiled at me.  

"A gift! What is it?"  

"See that box. That's it." I ran across the room to open the beautifully packed gift box but Mom stopped from it. "No no, darling. Not now."  

"But I want to open it now."  

"It's for that time when you need me the most."  

"Why are you talking like that mommy?"  

"You know why darling."  She smiled gently again through her bruise. I hung my head down and sat on. the chair. She had told me beforehand. These past three days it was tough.  

"Don't go, Mom. Please."  

"Darling, come here." My dad called me. He could barely talk. He was hurt too bad, more than mum. I walked towards him and he hugged me. He coughed out a bit which alerted me but then he said he was fine. "We are going on a journey. Somewhere where you are not allowed for a while. But soon we'll be together. It's just a bit of time. Could you wait?"   

"Maybe."  

"Alright, that's my darling. While you wait promise that you'll be strong."  

"I promise."  

"Here I got a gift for you too." He handed me a small paper-wrapped box. "Open it tomorrow."  

"Okay."  

He slightly kissed me one my head and I hugged my mom too. Dad caught Mom's hand and pressed it. They held tight and smiled at each other with so much of love. It was beyond anything that ever existed.  

"Honey, we are sleeping okay?"  

"Okay mom."  

"Love you, Tess." They both said together and saw each other again and whispered "love you".  

All of a sudden a weird voice started ringing too loudly which hurt my ears. I saw mom and dad sleeping peacefully. In a split second, the room was filled with doctors and a nurse swooped me in her arms and took me out of the room.  

For fifteen minutes or so the room was filled with people shouting. Every now and then they shouted "clear". Suddenly the room went silent. And a man in white came out and saw me sadly. A tear escaped my eye. They had slept forever.  

I took a deep breath and wiped off the stray tear. It was so clear just as yesterday. My voice was choked and gulped hard. But somehow I also felt relieved.  

"So there you know." I sighed out. Getting up I took off his coat and handed it over to him. He sat like a stone and he didn't even seem to notice the hanging coat in front of him. I shook the coat, he silently took it back. Holding my gown I walked out of there.  

Moments later I could hear footsteps behind me. He was walking right behind me. The whole backyard was dark and deserted as we crossed it. The party was almost about to wind up and the guests were about to leave while most of them had already left. Hiding from the people I took the stairs leading upwards to go to our room as Dylan trailed behind me. At some points, I could glance at the side where the glass reflected his image as he tailed me. The corridor was absolutely silent lighted up with dim lights which made it barely visible.  

"Don't you want to join the party?" 

"No."  

"Okay."  

There was a slight tension between us. A tension which was unknown but still known. Many times I wanted to look back at him on our way but I was shy. We finally reached the room and he headed straight into the bathroom while I threw my shoes aside and sat on the bed. I decided that I could quickly change while he was not there. Very carefully I unzipped the dress from the side and slipped my hands out of the sleeves holding the dress close to me. Its delicate satin texture made my undressing more difficult. I was too engrossed to notice the fact that the bathroom door opened and he had come out. I heard a small grunt followed by. 

"Tessa"  

I immediately jumped at my spot saw him standing a few steps ahead of me. His hand on one hip and as of in torture he was looking away. A shocked squeal left my mouth which I again made him look my way and then again he looked back massaging his head. His head twitched a bit as he cursed again and his jaw grew tight  

"Shit I am sorry. I'll just get out of-"  

"No wait.!"  I stepped forward clutching my dress and waved my hand to stop him.  

Wait what?!  

It was as if my body acted involuntarily and was pulled forward all of sudden. I held the gown tighter to my chest the moment I realized what I had said.  

What the hell is wrong with you?!  

He looked back at me with confusion and apprehension. How perfectly I had made a fool of myself was evident by the shock on his face. I had crossed the ultimate level of stupidity.  

"I mean to say-"  His shocked face was gone and now I realized that he was walking towards me like a hunter which made me shut up and gulp. His sea-green eyes had turned into the darker shade of green and seemed to get darker every step and second.  

Not too later I was sandwiched between the glass window which faced the sea and him. My bareback was against the cold glass but it was neutralized by Dylan's body which was almost pressed against mine. His body was bent towards me and his face very close to mine, so close that our noses touched, almost.

He was breathing too hard. But the other fact that scared that my heartbeat out of my rib cage. I feared that he would notice it. All of sudden his hand slammed against the glass which surprisingly didn't break by the impact and made me flinched back.

My face had grown red with embarrassment but my body was growing hotter and hotter in his presence. I was struggling to fight the urge of kissing him right there and then. His eyes were tight shut and his jaw was rock hard. His teeth were grinding in a struggle against something. His body shivered and I was worried about him. With every difficulty, I called out his name.  

"Dylan?"  

In a fraction of a second, he looked up to me in the eye. I gasp left my mouth when I saw his eyes. They resembled my black ones. I could see the hue of green in them but they were too dark now. I was always mesmerized by his eyes and also scared at the same time. His brow twitched and I swear I could see a nerve popping. My mouth was hanging open to see him like this.  

"No, I can't." He whispered and very slowly he moved an inch back away from me.  

This caused a small but unavoidable sinking feeling within my heart. Seeing him move away like this hurt me too much. I couldn't bear the distance between us. I was bearing the silent torture of the void between us but today I couldn't. In fear of losing him, I lurched ahead and grabbed his shirt with my hand holding him close to me with my head bent down. I was shivering too much and it was not due to the coldness of the room. Even his warm body wasn't enough to calm me down. I didn't even know why I was shivering.  

"Tessa?" He called my name. His voice was too heavy and choked up.

He touched my face and raised my chin and made me look up to him. My gown fell down automatically to the ground and I was stark naked in front of him except for my lacy underwear. I immediately recoiled back but Dylan's both hands rested upon my waist which held me in the place.  

For many long moments, we stared at each other continuously. Doubt, uncertainty, fear clouded me completely. How could I give in to him? He brushed his thumb across my cheek making me melt. I was sure that I would crumble down in the next moment if he kept on staring at me fiercely like this. I caught his hand which rubbed across my cheek lazily. Something stirred down in my stomach and my eyes fluttered as he touched my waist circling his arm around it and bringing me closer. His other hand spanned my cheek and the back of the neck as his thumb brushed on my lips. His breath was hot and uneven and so was mine. Each and every touch was stirring something in me and I yearned for more.  

"Stop me." He whispered. I couldn't stop myself and I didn't want to stop him. He paused for a second. "No-"  

Before he could utter another word I pressed my lips against his. Our lips pressed against each other, still, not moving at all. I retracted back seeing him open his eyes slowly depicting shock.  

To hell with everything.

I chanted this. I couldn't stop myself anymore. He gulped and stared at me for a second.

"Damn it." He cursed and I was slammed against the glass panel. His hard body grinded against me. My arms were locked up with his hands as he raided my mouth.

Our lips moved in sync together sucking our breaths out of each other. Waves of current overtook my body and made me giddy. I felt heavy, light, hungry for more. We kissed each other ferociously and its intensity kept on increasing. His tongue tried to open my lips but I didn't allow him purposely. He then bit on my lip which made me moan in pleasure. He took this chance and darted his tongue in my mouth and thus began the battle of our tongues. Each fought for dominance.  

I felt a current below my stomach and something wet down below. He angled his mouth to get more of me. He kissed me so aggressively that I was sure that he would tear my mouth apart. With each and every second our kiss deepened. His hands skimmed overall across my back and behind pushing me into him more and more. It was as if he didn't want any gap between us. His grip on me almost choked me but I didn't mind it all. Hell, I wanted more from him. I just kept on moaning and gasping.

As he ravished me he suddenly pulled away from me which made me disbalance but he got hold of me. He stared at me with black-green orbs cupping my cheek and he mouthed "beautiful".

I blinked again and again as I tried to recollect what he had said. I swear I was hallucinating. He joined our foreheads together and we breathed in each other's breath. He then brushed his nose against my cheek dragging it to my ear.

Burying his head in my hair, he whispered something in my ear over and over again but then I caught the word beautiful and my eyes were wide open. I wasn't thinking straight.  

He started torturing me with the small butterfly kisses which went down from below my jaw to the curved where my neck angled with my shoulder. As he placed another kiss on a certain spot of my collar bone I moaned ridiculously loud. I slipped a bit almost tumbling down but he prevented that by grinding me against the glass. Because of that his pelvis grinder against mine and there I could feel the "very" prominent bulge of him and it teased me trying to burry into me. He smirked at this and playfully bit down on my neck and sucked on to it as he rhythmically grinded against my center. With each grind, my eyes rolled back and I was dripping. I could feel it running through the inner sides of my thigh. His thumbs were skimming under my breasts which he then expertly massaged my buds. A delicious, painful current shot through me as he massaged them. My buds became tight and hard because of it. His every touch made me crave for more. This teasing was really frustrating to me.  

"Tessa." He grunted my name and once again he kissed me biting my lip and sucking on it. I tugged on his shirt too hard and he knew that it was about time he undressed too. In one second his shirt and trousers were thrown off of him and he was just in his black briefs. My chest was squashed against his hard one. My hands glided over him and he grunted more and more. I could feel his toned and that huge toned back. My fingers grazed his hip bone down to the "V" which made him moan this time. As my finger tugged on his brief, he cupped my cheeks very hard which made me gasp.  

My leg hit the edge of the bed and I fell on it taking him with me. Now he alternately kissed and bit every inch of my body leaving the bites all over my body. As he went down below the collar bone he massaged one of my breath pinching my bud. His mouth closed on to the other bud and he viciously sucked nipping at it. My moans circulated in the room. He alternately sucked on each of them and then planted a kiss right in between my breasts which made me tickle. He noticed it and again kissed me at the same place which made me tickle again. He held the place above my hip with both his hand to not let me slip away and went on laying those butterfly kisses. He kissed my navel he hooked his one finger inside my lacey underwear and tugged on it to pull it downward. Slowly my lacey underwear was taken off revealing my naked form. I was absolutely dripping wet and it was well noticed. His expression became hungry and I crossed my legs to cover myself but he stopped me coming close to my ear and whispered.  

"Shh...Don't."  

As his lips grazed my cheek he then pushed my legs apart slowly and holding them firmly and he went down. I propped myself on the elbows to see him but the very next moment I almost screamed too loudly.  

"Dylan!!!!!!!"  

My elbows buckled in and I automatically arched my back. His tongue has made contact with my core and he nipped on my bead-making scream in pleasure and pain. My whole body was too hot and whirlpools were forming down my stomach threatening my core to flood. And the next moment his tongue lashed, covering each and every corner making me moan and scream in pleasure. My head whipped here and there at the sensations he gave me, which I had never felt before. He gripped me even harder to hold me in place. The storm which winded down was threatening and I whispered his name.  

"Dy-Dylan..I-uh"  

He suddenly increased the force which did not help me and I was wiggling out of his grip. My thighs tried to close in but he wouldn't let them. He then all of sudden stopped it and I let out a frustrated groan. He came up grazed his lip against mine. His finger brushed against my core and I screamed out his name gripping his back as he buried his head in my hair and kept on whispering something.  

After he soothed me he got up and I sat back up still giddy but hungry. He then stripped himself naked from that last revealing himself completely. He was a sight to see. I sighed at his perfectly toned body. The way his muscles were sculpted and his huge built. But my eyes popped at his member. It stood out proudly and threatening. I gulped and shifted back yet my eyes couldn't leave it. Dylan lifted my chin up to meet his gaze. His breath hit my face. I was too stunned to move my face away from him. He gripped my waist as he went to enter in me. I gasped at the way I tried to accommodate him and he wasn't even completely in me.  

In all this, I absolutely forgot about the one fact. I was a virgin dammit. And before I could it was too late. He paused dead as he came to know. I was embarrassed as hell and turned away my face.  

What were you thinking you fool?!  

But I didn't want him to stop. He turned to see my face and I just kept burrowing down with embarrassment.  

"Look at me." He said with much difficulty as if he were drunk. I looked at him scared and was surprised to see the passion in his eyes which made me sway. I blinked twice to keep thinking straight but I was as drunk as him. My consciousness was long gone and I began to say.  

"Dylan, I-"  But before I could finish my mouth was closed by his and that's where I lost track.
