Chapter 37 - Chapter 8

It felt like a business deal. I had never done one, but I knew I was selling myself short. Means to an end, I repeatedly told myself to keep it together. He was right, that was not what wanted. I had dreams of marrying and having children. Mason was not the right man for the job.

" You drive a hard bargain," Mason finally broke the silence. You should consider a business major," Mason amusedly said, pushing himself off the desk and slowly began pacing in front of it

" I don't know about that. I believe I'm selling myself short, so it's not much of a bargain. It is more like two for one in this case," I retorted with a light-hearted chuckle, hugging myself.

" Then why do it, at all?" Mason questioned halting his steps in front of me. I didn't want to answer that question. And I couldn't lie about it either. If I did, he would know. It was terrifying thought that I couldn't lie to him.

I shrugged " You're a very desirable man, good-looking, charming. What's not to want?" I tipped my chin defiantly at him, trying my best to hide the real reason. Only, if he'd known.

Mason hummed " You know I don't sleep with the same woman twice. " Mason retorted with a lopsided smile, proud of his selective taste. I knew that, too.

" Oh, I know that too. I'm not sure whether you're trying to hinder me or you're just bragging" I smirked, and took a step forward before he'd come up with more reasons to drag it along.

" This changes nothing," Mason raised his hand when a was just a few paces away from him.

" This changes nothing," I added agreeing with him, hoping that we could move things along. It was just a one-time thing. Why be so pedantic about it? I wanted more but I had to make my peace with it, that it was all I could have.

Mason nodded after a brief moment and lunged towards me before I even had a chance to catch a grip of what was happening. One moment he was all business and the next he let go of all his restraint. He pinned me against the door, his lips on mine as he began shedding his jacket. I was so dazed that I didn't move much and let him do whatever he wanted with me.

Mason pulled away from the frantic kiss, panting " Fuck, Lily " He huffed, tugging on my dress to peel it off.

" Yes, please, " I shyly said, mustering a frazzled smile, making him chuckle.

When the dress pooled at my feet, Mason whistled and that was a reaction I thought I would never see on him.

" Holy mother of god," Mason took a step back and turned his back to me, running his fingers through his hair. I didn't think I looked that bad. I was tall, a little plump around my tummy, but that was Enids' fault. I didn't have the biggest breasts, but they were there. Mason stayed like that for a few minutes. Now that he'd seen me somewhat naked, I was worried he would back down. I wasn't exactly his type.

Unease quickly crept into my heart, and the daze that I was in a few minutes before quickly dissipated, and turned to angst.

" Mason" I softly called, making him turn to look at me, still at a distance from me, but his eyes went everywhere, taking everything in.

Mason puffed his cheeks and closed the distance, placing his thumb under my chin and pressing his lips against mine " We need a bed" He said with a widening grin and bit on his lip.

" Yes, we do, " I whispered against his lips and pulled away, shying my gaze away.

Mason picked the dress off the floor, then me and we both walked out of the office heading to the bedroom. When he opened the door to my bedroom, I frowned and looked at him.

" I thought we were going into your bedroom," I said with a pout, I was eager to see inside.

Mason chuckled " This is my bedroom. At least, it was until you came along and snatched it from me," Mason quipped as he lowered me on the bed.

" Oh, I didn't know that," I shuffled to the middle of the bed, feeling a little uneasy. I was well aware that it was his bedroom. But that quickly faded when reality sunk in. It was happening and it was my first time. I wasn't afraid, I already knew the works, I just wanted to go straight to the pleasure part.

Mason chuckled and threw the dress on the nearby chair " It has been in good hands, so I don't mind" Mason casually said as he began unbuttoning his shirt and his trousers, way too fast.

But all of that drifted at the back of my head when he stood before me in his boxer shorts in all his yummy glory. I pushed myself off the bed and this time around, I lunged at him. I had been dreaming of that moment for so long. I would've gone to hell and back before I could let it slip away through my fingers. I let my eager hands explore his chest, and I moaned when my hands reached his tight ass. His hands did the same, revelling in his passion and the ardour he put in his touch. We were both hungry for each other, and no matter how much he'd denied it, his hands and mouth said more than enough for me to understand that he wanted me just as much as I wanted him.

When we fell on the bed lip locked, Mason slid in between my legs and tugged on my underwear. I was still wearing the garter you couldn't take off one without the other. Mason grunted and pulled away from the kiss, to snap my underwear and threw it on the floor. He was impatient and so was I, ready for him to take me as I was. I could feel his hand fumbling with the boxers shorts and before I even realised it, I felt him conquer me one inch at a time. I swallowed a whimper and grunted when he pushed himself in. It happened so fast that I didn't even have the time to realise it until the throbbing pain jolted me to my senses.

Mason stilled, breathless, his lips were still on mine, we just stayed like that in each other arms to catch our breath.

Mason humming broke through my daze, and his lips tenderly began trailing from my lips to my jaw and neck

" I'm going to have to do this again. We are still wearing clothes" Mason nibbled on my ear lobe, making me moan when he began rolling his hips.

I heard him loud and clear, but as the pain morphed into pleasure, I lost myself in his touch as he picked his pace, surrendering myself to the pleasure that washed over me. I let my instincts into the driving seat and let myself go, riding on the pleasure, relishing the touch of his lips on my skin. I was on fire, and I let it burn and consume me. He was everything that I imagined he would be and so much more.

When I came to my sense Mason's forehead was on mine, heaving for breath and so was I.

At that moment, I realised that I was wrong when I thought that sleeping with him would get him out of my head. I wanted nothing more than to have him a thousand times more and that would probably not be enough to quench my thirst for him.

" How are you feeling?" Mason heaved out a heavy breath and opened his eyes. How was I feeling? With one foot in hell and the other in heaven, I wanted to say. But, I gave my word and I couldn't go back on it.

" Good." I smiled and let my hands fall to the side. I had no idea what time it was, but I was spent.
