Maria’s POV
It took everything in me not to smack Niles on the head right now. We were going to a charity gala and he was just telling me now?!
He repeated when I didn’t give him a response “The company is organizing a charity gala ball and auction that will be graced by some of the world’s business leaders, celebrities, political leaders, influencers and members of the public who believes in giving back to the society .
“Although it’s just an avenue to showoff wealth and splendor but the charity gala would raise funds for established foundations catering for orphans and terminally-ill children and you’re coming as my date. “
” No way ” I murmured under my breath but he heard it.
“No way what? “
I pulled away from him and sat up and he did the same ” Why are you telling me this now?! You knew I was going to come along with you to such an important and high-class occasion and you kept mum all this time?! “
“I’m sorry, It skipped my mind moreover the preparation has been ongoing for a while, so I initially thought I was going to go with Tina. I never thought it was going to be me and you in the end ” he explained and I fell silent at once.
To be honest, though Niles says his relationship with Tina was doomed to end someday from the very beginning but sometimes I can’t help but feel that I stole him from her.
Niles claims it was a deal from the initial and she had full knowledge of that and gave consent but the look in Tina’s eyes told me she wanted more than Niles gave, not to talk of the evil eye she gives me whenever she sees me with him – infact, everything is so messed-up.
The environment was suddenly awkward and I quickly came up with something to ease this tension ” But the party is tomorrow and I haven’t even sorted through my wardrobe yet!”
Late minutes planning was one of my worst nightmare and I was going to attend a party where every women would be dolled up and dressed in Jaw-dropping gowns.
Niles laughed and drew close to me ” You don’t need to worry about to what to wear Tigress, it has already being arranged “
Though I was imp**ssed with his effort but it still didn’t ease the anxiety completely ” But I didn’t get my measurement taken, you don’t even know my size ” I pointed out while massaging my temple.
Niles gave me that usual weird smile of his , leaned further towards me and whispered ” I don’t need to take measurements Maria, I already know your size with just a glance “
Suddenly, his eyes rove over my body in such a way that made me shiver and became self conscious of my body. My hands immediately flew to my ch*st, covering it the best I could even though I was actually fully dressed.
“What are you doing? ” I asked and tried to appear stern even though my heart was threatening to jump out of my ch*st. The way he was staring at me made me feel completely bare before him.
A smile curved his l*ps “It seems your b**b has been promoted from A to B “
I gazed up at Niles wide-eyed. You know what, I take back my word, I’m going to smack Niles on the head till I knock some sense into him.
My hand moved towards him but he grabbed it saying ” Oi miss Tigress, are you a gangster? why are you always hitting me at the slightest provocation “
I released a smile that didn’t quite reach my eyes ” How comforting, you can even tell you provoked me. Fine, the other times I can apologize but this time, someone needs to slap some sense into you ” My other hand moved but he grabbed it as well and then pinned the both above my head with a hand.
OK, that was officially a stupid move and epic failure.
His intense gaze moved over my body once again and my throat dried up ” If I’m correct then, you’re currently a 32 B cup size “
I stared at him dumbfounded, how did this guy know this cause I’m sure I did not shove my bra lapel in his face and how could he be so blatant about it ?
“Consider yourself dead once I’m free “I spoke through gritted teeth having remembered this guy was once a professional Casanova – how could he not know all the bra sizes?
But Niles ignored my threat and went on “How could you be so mean when I’m just congratulating you on your recent progress “
Amid my glaring, his face scrunched up tight in concentration “Though I’m wondering what caused this tremendous progress “
He glanced up at me with a lewd smile and I could tell I was not going to be pleased with whatever he’s about to say.
Niles wriggled his brow suggestively ” Could it be as a result of the recent fondling ” he added a wink.
Now, I’m done being nice.
I don’t know what strength came over me and I quickly freed my hands , rolled him onto his back and straddled his h*ps. But just as I was about to exact my revenge on him , Niles made a statement that made me froze.
“Wrong move ” he murmured, then shut his eyes with a groan saying ” Move against that again and I won’t care anymore, we would go straight into baby making “
I looked down, saw his swelling member and got to my feet at once with a startled scream – revenge forgotten.
Niles lay on the bed, ch*st heaving and cheeks flushed – talk of cheeks – mine was burning.
” A-are you okay? ” I finally found the voice to ask when the swell of his pants kept rising. Did I do this?
“I would be once this calms down ” he said, boldly pointing to his below.
I scratched the back of my neck, why was I feeling guilty ? it was all his fault, he was the one who started this ; he seduced me first!
” W-what can I do to help? “
His face lit up like Christmas ” You want to help me? ” but then the lewd smile graced his face again.
“On second thought, the cold shower is available. Make yourself comfortable ” I said and escaped out of my own room .
Niles’s POV
What was I even thinking coming into her room yesterday? See her once more before going to bed? k**s her goodnight? or was I expecting something more?
Fine I’ll be truthful, I was expecting something to happen last night . Like damn it, it has been so long since I did it. Initially, I could pride myself on being sexually active but now I was probably turning into a monk – all because of one woman.
Sometimes I would sit and let my thoughts wander and then keep wondering what makes Maria so special? why I felt so drawn to her? what makes her so different from the others? why do I like her more than the others?
Is it the way she smiles? or the way she pouts her l*ps and the legendary vein standing out on her forehead whenever she’s angry? or the way she falls into ridiculous situations while I’ll be the one to rescue her always ?
But one thing was for sure, with her around there was never a dull moment. It’s like she’s my own personal sunshine; a sun made specially for me and no one was going to take her away from me. Not now, not ever.
I took a glance at my wristwatch, picked up a magazine and sat down on the chaise lounge
instead of pacing up and down the room without purpose.
My mind was awhirl with thoughts even though I was fl*pping through the pages of the magazine featuring fashion shows and models clad in bikinis barely covering some essential parts.
Perhaps because I was hypersensitive, my ears perked up the moment I heard a creaking sound. I glanced up immediately the door to the fitting room slowly opened .
Tossing the magazine to the side, I stood up the moment Maria came into view and my breath stopped without even realizing it.
It seems the world froze for a while as I stared at the goddess standing a few meters away from me – she looked unbelievably beautiful in it and I was right to pick that outfit.
Maria was wearing a red strapless satin sweep gown that had a high slit at the side exposing a bit of toned th**h. The dress emphasized her lean waist and though it was not pouring at her feet but it would’ve be if she wasn’t wearing a matching stiletto heel.
Her hair was picked and pulled to one side before braiding, giving it a voluminous look while leaving a few tendrils hanging at the other side of her face.
The makeup done on her face was flawless especially with that lustful colour on her l*ps that made my below tighten and my pulse to quicken.
It seems I stared for too long cause Maria was beginning to shift on her feet uncomfortably while scratching the back of her head, eyes staring everywhere but me.
I didn’t even realize when a smile tilted my l*ps and I covered the distance bet**en us with just two steps, reaching out an arm to pull her closer.
“You look incredibly beautiful ” I said to her and she blushed in reply.
Maria has always being pretty but now she was dressed up and all, her features were amplified, not to mention she looked hot and elegant in that dress.
But suddenly I felt a pang of jealousy hit me, If I could find her pretty and considering the fact I have an eye for beauty , then the men at the party would definitely ogle her on sight.
Was it too late to change her out of this dress? I once saw a baggy styled dress on the garment rank, that would suit her right?
But I knew I was sounding ridiculous, the women at the gala wouldn’t dress any less than Maria did, moreover it was a formal occasion, she has to look her best ; the men can stare as much as they want, they could only watch but not touch her anyway.
I ran my hands down the curves of her body and felt her shiver as I spoke softly into her ears ” I think I’ve changed my mind, we should go to bed and forget all about this party “
Maria rolled her eyes and shook her head with a smile having figured out the hidden meaning behind my words.
She reached out and adjusted my bow tie saying ” There is no way that’s happening especially when you’re dressed this sexy, I want to show you off to the world “
