THE EDGE OF CONTROL

TIANA'S P.O.V

His smirk sent shivers down my spine as I tried to make heads or tails of what had just happened. I was not an impulsive person and doing things like this was not really in my modus operendi but hey here we were.

"What just happened?" I ask trying to sound natural and failing miserably since I was panting as though I had run a marathon.

"What you came here for." He answers

"You have to know when I was coming here I was expecting drinks not an orgasm" I say

"Well who ever recommended you to come here with out telling you what really happens here is the one we are blaming " he says while coming to sit beside me.

I turn to look at him, really look at him and I start to notice things I hadn't really paid attention to before. Like the fact that much as the beard and the body made him look much older, he didn't seem to be a day over twenty five.

"How old are you ?" I ask while trying to adjust my skirt

"Old enough " he says looking at me with a lopsided grin. I just roll my eyes at him and try to look around in bid to ignore these growing tension that is practically invading the room.

He grabs my chin and turns my face towards his and my heart picks up pace as though I was running a marathon

"Hmmm?" I say trying to look and sound unperturbed but failing woefully

"Since your already here, focus on me. For tonight, I am yours and yours alone" He says as his voice drops an octave and boy does that get my juices flowing

"okay" I say in a whisper and that seems to satisfy him as he leans back.

He gets up from the bed and goes to one side of the room to pour wine into a glass.

"Don't you think it's a little too late to be drinking this now?" I ask

"How?" he asks inquiringly

"Considering the fact that we have already gone ahead and you know?" I say pointing at my self and then look at him pointedly. He first blinks as though to get his bearings and then bursts into uproarious laughter.

"Who told you there is a stipulated time for drinking wine?" he says while trying to curb his laughter

"The friend that recommended this place." I say while looking away from him

"Well if we are going to do anything else, I want you relaxed amd comfortable not tense "he says while walking towards me.

"Oh we are going to do more?" I ask and immediately balk at my thoughtless question. He sits besides me again and hands me a glass.

"Yes, if you are up to it that is " he says" However, if you are not up to it that is fine too. We can just sit and talk the whole night" he adds

"Ok , Thanks for this." I say gesturing towards the glass

"It's no problem" he says vlinking glasses with me.

As I take a sip, I notice that he seems to be keeping a deliberate distance from me and that makes me feel a tiny bit less nervous.

I look up at him and startle a little when I find him looking at me as well.

"Yea?" I ask

"Nothing." he says. He puts down his glass on the bedside table and inches his way towards me the bed. He takes the glass form my hand and puts it next to his and takes my chin in his hand. He stares into my eyes for what seems like hours as though lookibg for something.

"Can I kiss you?" he asks while looking at my lips. I lick them nervously while nodding since words seem to have failed me at this point.

He brings up his ther hand and puts it at the back of my neck. He angles my head just right and crashes his lips against mine in a toe curling kiss.

"Mmnmmm" I moan against his lips and he smiles against my lips. I bring up my hands and cup his face as we really get into the kiss and soon I am feeling his hands touch the skin of my waist.
