"I knew I'd
found you here".
"Alex, you startled me. Are you planning on giving me a heart attack?".
"Am sorry, I didn't mean to. Why are you out here on your own?.
"It's a little bit crowded in there and besides I feel kinda out of place". she told him.
"It's so beautiful out here". She said looking at the flower garden.
"It sure is". Alex responded huskily, not really looking at the garden. Under the moonlight, the view standing besides him was the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. She has been glued to his mother the whole night and his eyes were glued to her. Just like him, his mother had also gotten fond of her.
"My mother loves this garden so much". Alex stated.
"I can see why, it's spectacular I could stay here the whole night".
"A long time ago I was playing around here when I accidentally fell down destroying some of my mother's flowers. I swear that was the longest week I've ever had". He chuckled at the memory.
"Really? what happened?".
"My mother locked me into my room for five hours". Leyla bursted out in laughter.
"No she didn't!". She said between laughter.
"That's not all, she made me water her garden three hours a day. After that she banned me from stepping into her garden, said I wouldn't understand anyway. She said that flowers are fragile and need a little extra care".Alex finished. He looked at her, she was so close to him and he could smell her scent. It was becoming addictive.
He slightly touched her cheeks, and she closed her eyes. Fire sparked through her veins when she felt his hand on her cheek. She didn't know how, but she felt herself being compelled by her desire. It's like her inner beast was unleashed, because it wasn't in her nature to initiate intimacy. Winding her arms around his neck, she brought his head down for a kiss. His mouth slightly touched hers softly, stealing her breath away. She opened her mouth lightly to accommodate his sweet lips. She's been dying to have those lips on hers and she wasn't disappointed. She's been kissed before but nothing ever felt like this, not even close.
Anchoring his hands around his waist, Alex pulled her even closer, while deepening the kiss. Kissing her with so much passion he never knew he possessed. He held her close as he ravished her with his mouth. Her lips were so sweet, he was slowly getting addicted to her. Leyla released a soft moan, earning a groan from Alex. She suddenly felt empty, but not for long, when she felt Alex's mouth on her neck where the neck met the shoulder, she moaned his name out loud. Taking the attention back to her lips, Alex kissed her, but this time he kissed her harder and deeper. Winding her hands around him she groped his hair and kissed him with all the passion she could muster. His mouth was wonderful and talented, and with him holding her so close, she felt wanted, for the first time in her life.
As much as she wanted to continue "their moment" out there she knew she had to stop. This was barely not the time nor the place. She didn't want to repay the duchess kindness by tainting her reputation and that of her son's. One thing she knew was that gossip spread faster in this time than planes could in her time.
She slightly pulled Alex from her. His eyes were full of desire it took a lot of restraint for him to completely ravish her right. If he knew that kissing her would feel that great then he'd have done it a little earlier.
"The duchess must be looking for me. uhm...I.. have to go". She said hastily before brushing past him.
"You know, she's my mother right?". He asked, smirking at her.
"Yes so?".
"Shouldn't I be the one running to her. I mean you literally took advantage of her son, don't you think?". He continued, his mouth twitching in mischief.
"Alex!!!". Leyla hit his shoulder, clearly embarrassed. Never before has she ever kissed anyone on impulse before. What must he be thinking of her now?. That she was that type of woman who threw herself at men. What had she become now??.
"Am not really that type of person. What I mean is I don't really...you Know...it's just...". She felt his mouth on hers again. She opened her mouth to tell him to stop but he took advantage of it and shoved his mouth even deeper. She could do this all day. Just as she was getting used to the kiss, he pulled away. Kissing her on the forehead, he strode away, leaving her rooted where she stood. The nerve of that man!!!. How dare he!!!.
Alex had no choice than to escape. That woman was going to be the death of him. Once he started kissing her, he couldn't stop. It was like there was this magnetic pull that was pulling him towards her. Anyone could've seen them and this would have ruined not only him but his family's reputation would have been at stake, not to mention Leyla's too. She might not know this, but the society was really cruel. Gossips could drain one off all their blood if you weren't strong enough to ignore them and Alex didn't want her to be subjected to all that.
And that's why he just left, without a word.
