Ruthie rolled onto her back, their gazes locking.
In a swift, his lips claimed hers vigorously, and she felt herself melting into him whole. The kiss was fierce, intense, and overwhelming.
As they unlock for air, he whispered, "It feels good, right?."
His words should have been scares her, but strangely it ignited a electric within her making her feel wanted, desired, and alive.
His hands roamed her body, exploring every curve. Her body arched into his touch, excitedly, urging for more.
But amidst the intense passion, doubts begins creeping in.
What about her husband?
Their marriage is not even a week old, but here she is cheating on him, with his f*cking uncle.
In their house, on their bed.
What kind of a wife is she?
How could she betrayed him so cruelly, like this?
Coco's lips however cut off her thoughts, his tongue swiping with hers.
Right at that moment, she knew she was lost. Lost in desire, lost in lust, lost in immense uncontrollable need
Nothing else mattered anymore!
Not her husband, not their f*cking marriage, or even her damn guilty conscience.
* * *
Ruthie woke up in a whole mess, her mind, her self and guilty conscience. The memories of last night's endeavor with a stranger on her matrimonial bed clouded her whole mind. She just can't believe she did something so absurd.
Something so degrading and malicious.
She hastily opens the drawer taking a contraceptive pills, she rushed over to the bathroom to clean herself up trying hard, not to think hard about the trouble she has caused.
Getting to the kitchen counter, she poured herself a glass on cold water, chugging it down her sore dried up throat.
She could hears some footsteps forthcoming on the stairs as she did this, so she slowly traces her eyes up and there she saw him, the devil himself walking downstairs, shirtless and glistening with perspiration with an air of confidence. His muscular fitted abs made her heart skipped a beat, a part of their intimacy last night, flashes through her mind.
Flustered, she spat out the water coughing slightly, the water spills on her clothes, wetting it.
"You're wet because of me...again" He smirk Cockily, striding towards her. Each step of he takes, causing a leap in her unsteady heartbeat. His eyes focused on her, melting her soul as he walks to her.
"Will you be able to handle it...what you're calling for" He closed the distance between them, hovering over her petite figure making her breath hitches.
"I wouldn't mind a quickie here...on the counter, what do you say?" He whispered, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
She was speechless, weakened by desire and anger.
He leaned in but she made in move, it was as if her feet has been glued to the floor and her whole body is frozen.
However, a voice cuts through the air, breaking tension,
"Ruth!"
It was him. Her husband.
Swiftly, she dashes away from the sly devil in front of her, rushing over to Caleb with a smile who however surprisingly walk past her to Coco, holding his arm and whispering something to him.
"That won't do...I planned on staying here, for a long while" She then heard Coco's voice says from the kitchen counter he is. Instantly she snapped her head towards them only to find Coco already staring at her, his gaze piercing through hers.
"I find it fun...people living here" He remarked with a mischievous smirk, his eyes not leaving hers.
Ruth's world literally collapsed, realizing the deep s**t, she had gotten herself buried in.
~LATER~
Ruthie stared blankly at her plate, her mind a already far away. Caleb, sat beside her, his eyes fixed on his food also, poking his spoon in his plate of fried rice as well, his expression frowny and worried.
They were at the dinning, having their meal. Awkwardness filling in the air as none would say a word.
Opposite both of them sat Coco, digging into the food nonstop like someone who has no iota of worries in the world.
Seemingly oblivious to the tension in the room. He moaned in relish effortlessly, at each spoonful he munches on, nodding his head in approval with smile like an agama lizard.
A low sigh left Ruthie's mouth for the umpteen and Coco seems to catch that.
His gaze focuses on her for a a while then a gleam of mischief glowered in his eyes.
He cleared his throat and his voice seeps out carelessly.
"So, have you two f****d yet?"
Swiftly, Ruthie's eyes snapped to him, her expression horrid.
Caleb wasn't left out, his eyes were as wide as an owl at the question being thrown at them.
Silence fell over in the room, leaving his dreadful question dangling in the air like a challenge.
Ruth's pupils dilated fearfully, her heart beating rapidly from the shocking question.
Why did he asked that question?
Is he perchance, going to reveal everything to Caleb?
About how she had shamelessly slept with him?
Her heartbeat pounded at every chance, leaving her mind in chaos.
She looked at him dreadfully, but he only had this entertaining expression on. Like he's enjoying the tension in the moment.
"Why ain't you saying anything, I asked if you two fvcked yet?" He persists the second time.
This time, Caleb's face turned, his jaw clenched.
"Why would you ask that kind of question...Uncle?" He grunts, lowly, his eyes giving out a dreadful warning.
Why? Can't I ask...Nephew?" Coco shrugs, his tone dripped with obliviousness, but his eyes gleaming with mischief.
"Yes you can't. It is out of place and you're only a stranger here" Caleb glared.
"Well I believe I'm more than that to you two...right, Little Ruthie?" Coco directed the question to Ruthie who has been silent.
"Uh?" Ruthie shrieks on hearing that.
"Uncle you_"
"Wait!" Coco interrupts Caleb who was talking.
"I'm talking to her right now. You should hold it for now" He said in a absolute serious tone. Caleb couldn't help shutting himself up, it was as if it was an order he dare not disobeyed.
"Little Ruthie..." Coco called her again.
"I believe you have something to say" He asked her, whose pupils dilated perhaps in anxiety and anger.
"Should I take a guess?" Coco says when Ruthie wouldn't say a word.
"You two_"
"Shut up!" Ruthie finds herself lashing out before he could finish talking, her anger simmering.
Coco leaned back, his expression unreadable.
"You're merely his distant uncle, not his immediate or older brother, even if you are, what right do you have to ask that kind of question. You could have asked him behind me but not when I'm right here with you. Even if you're chronically rude, shouldn't you at least have a tiny bits manner in you, are you always that impolitely blunt with others also?" Ruthie lambaste coldly but Coco surprised her by chuckling, his eyes glinting.
She quirk a brow getting more pissed off.
"What the hell are you doing right now?" She literally gritted.
"I mean you don't have to get all personal and touchy...it was only a question you just have to reply with a 'Yes' or 'No'"
He smirks, mischievously.
"And why should I have to answer that?" Ruthie snaps.
"Why? Because I'm curious..." He shrugs, still finding it funny.
"What? You_"
"Forget it, you don't have to answer anymore, I think I know the answer already" He interrupted, waving it off.
"You should dig more into your food, I noticed you haven't been eating anything, how will you gain the strength for the lost ones if you don't eat. You're probably tired...so eat more" He wiggle his brow at her fueling her anger more.
Ruthie who couldn't take the insults anymore stood up puffing, and without uttering a word, she left them, marching upstairs.
"I'm the one you have problem with Coco, don't bring my wife into your childish games..." Caleb warned the moment Ruthie left them.
Coco smirks.
"My wife..." He mutters.
"My wife you say..." His eyes turned dark the second time he muttered that. He drops his fork and take his gaze to him. Cold chills ran down Caleb's spine as Coco's dark eyes ran into his.
"I dare you to repeat that...then you'll have to watch me ruin that great wife of yours...right here in front of you" He threatens with every words of his sending menace.
