Babel Novel
Chapter 18
I searched for Jason at the gay club but he was no where to be seen.
I felt so disappointed and regretful. What if I hadn’t left him that morning? Would we be making sweet love by now?
I drove home in a sad state. I usually didn’t pine for someone but I pined for Jason right now. It made me feel pathetic
After I reached home, I stripped off my clothes and took a shower.
I decided to forget about Jason. Loving someone at first sight wasn’t going to help me now. I’ll soon be married anyway.
*****************
On a Tuesday morning, I rode in my car with my secretary. Tuesdays were usually busy for me so I hurried to work to meet up with my busy schedule.
“Do you have the merger documents ready?” I asked my secretary
“Yes boss” he replied
I sped up because I wanted to reach my office early.
But suddenly, my car stopped.
I swore under my breath. What was wrong with the fucking car now? I didn’t know what to do now and I had to get to work early
“Go now” I barked at my secretary “Find a nearby mechanic or get someone that can fix my car” I said and he scurried off
I was running out of time. Why did my car have to stop now? Several minutes later, my secretary arrived with the mechanic. I had to get down in order for my car to be fixed.
I got down from my car and behold, the mechanic who came with my secretary was Jason.
The saliva dried up in my mouth when I saw him.
I just met Jason again and I didn’t know what to tell him.
“What’s wrong with the car?” Jason asked my secretary as he tore his gaze away from mine
“It just stopped”
“Okay, let me see” he proceeded to fix the issue of the car and I just couldn’t take my eyes off him.
His biceps were sweaty and glistening, it made me want to touch them. Mental images of the night we shared together kept invading my head and it made me desire him the more.
In a matter of minutes, my car was fixed.
“We can go now” my secretary said to me
“Get in the car, I’ll join you shortly” I replied, my eyes fixed on Jason.
He finally looked at me and our sexified gazes locked.
“So Harley, how’s your life been since the day we fucked and you ghosted me” Jason asked in a sarcastic tone.
“Please let’s meet at the hotel from last time. I’ll explain everything” I said to him because I suddenly felt the need to explain
“No, thanks” he said and made to leave but I grabbed his arm.
“Please” I pleaded urgently
“Okay then. We’ll meet at the hotel by six pm” he said
“Deal” I smiled, anticipating our meeting
****************
I rushed my work and checked the time at regular intervals.
I couldn’t wait for six pm so I could go and see Jason.
After hours of endless work and back to back meetings, it was finally time to go and see Jason.
I quickly drove to the hotel.
Luckily for me, it was easy to locate him. I found him in one of the rooms, seated on the bed and waiting for me.
He looked breath takingly ravishing as usual. I wanted to run to him and wrap him in my arms but I couldn’t because he was mad at me.
“Hi” he said with an aloof expression
“I missed you”
I blurted out without thinking. Oh my God! What on earth was wrong with me?
Jason raised a sardonic eyebrow “it didn’t seem like it when you left that morning”
“I…” I hesitated. I was flustered, how was I going to explain it to him?
“You what?” He asked
“I–I mean, I…” I stammered stupidly
“Look, Harley. I’ll be off now. You called me here, so you talk when you’re ready” he said as he stood up and was about to leave
“I like you!” I yelled and he paused in his tracks
“I like you. Like, a lot. I obviously didn’t mean for it to happen but it did…. I mean, I’m a guy, a tough hearted guy and I’ve trained myself not to fall in love easily but in your case it just happened. I find myself thinking about you and wanting to see you all the—” my emotional ramble was interrupted when he grabbed me and kissed me.
His mouth claimed mine with shocking effect. Excitement exploded like a greedy, out-of-control fire inside me, overwhelming me with a voracious passion. I kissed him back in a wild surge of hunger, moaning low in my throat at the stabbing, wickedly erotic inttusion of his tongue. He shifted fluidly against me, making me crave closer contact with a desperation that screamed through every nerve-ending.
“Tell me that you like to make love over and over again”, Jason invited huskily, his accent roughening the explicit invitation.
“And I will tell you that I will satisfy your every desire.”
Then Jason blocked out my thoughts with the hot, hungry heat of his mouth, and the world spun so violently, I gasped and clutched at him. Electrifying heat engulfed me… or maybe it was him. He seemed to be burning up too. My fingers framed his hard cheekbones and my head went back as he knotted one hand tightly into my hair and kissed me with bruising, demanding thoroughness until I thought I would pass out from lack of oxygen but didn’t care because nothing had ever felt so good.
He slowly removed his lips from mine and stared deeply into my eyes.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“This is my answer to your confession” he said huskily
“I felt really bad after you left me that night. I thought that I did something wrong, and I couldn’t sleep thinking of what I had done to—”
“Shhh” I placed an index finger on his lips to stop him from talking. “You didn’t do anything wrong. It was me. I’m sorry Jason. I’ll never leave you again”
I said and I meant it. I wasn’t planning to leave his side again. I didn’t care about my secret or my family or Matriarch Sheila. I only wanted Jason.
