Chapter Three: The Night of Unspoken Desires

Jonathan and Maya pulled up to Maya's gate, only to find it locked.

Maya thought about her son, but she was glad that her cousin was around with him

She doesn't want to call her cousin because she doesn't want Jonathan to know of her son, she's doing everything to avoid him to remember the night.

"What do I do?" Maya said silently.

Jonathan wanted to say, "Probably, you could call anyone that could come and open the gate for you" But he didn't say that because he feels this is an opportunity to spend the night together with someone which he has started getting interested in.

"Do you have any idea?" Maya asked.

"No" Jonathan said sharply, deep down, he's happy with it.

"Well, I suppose we could wait here until someone comes out," Maya suggested, though her heart wasn't in it. She could feel the energy between them shifting, becoming more charged.

"Or," Jonathan said, his voice taking on a husky quality. "We could go for a walk. Stretch our legs. The night is young, and it would be a shame to let this opportunity go to waste."

Maya's heart thudded in her chest as she considered his words. It was getting harder and harder to resist his charm, but she knew she had to be careful.

"I..." Maya began, her voice catching in her throat. She knew she should say no, that this was a dangerous path to go down, but something in Jonathan's eyes made it impossible to refuse.

"Yes," she said, her voice barely a whisper. "A walk sounds...nice."

They were walking and suddenly, Jonathan held her hand. She was shocked, but she didn't know when she smiled.

Maya felt a rush of emotions - surprise, excitement, and a little bit of fear. But the warmth of Jonathan's hand in hers was undeniable. She decided to just go with it, to see where this night might take them.

"You are beautiful" Jonathan said to her.

She was speechless.

"Well, I have been wishing to see you when Emmanuel told me about how good and hardworking you are. I really want to see you and thank you for contributing to the success of the company. I wanted to maintain a relationship between boss and staff, but...."

"But? But what?"

Jonathan went closer to her, touched her cheek, and kissed her.

Maya's eyes were wide open, shocked about it, but soon, she closed her eyes as she enjoyed the electric kiss which sent shock and desire through her body. She kissed him deeply.

When Jonathan noticed the sound of footsteps, he stopped.

As Jonathan pulled away, he whispered in her ear, "I can't deny my attraction to you, Maya. I know this isn't appropriate, but I don't care. I want you."

"We can't do this," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "It's not right."

But as she spoke, she found her body betraying her.

"I am sorry, so would you sleep over in my side tonight, just to pass this night"

"In your house? Oh! No, I am sorry"

"I understand," Jonathan said, his voice gentler than before. "But I don't want you to worry about that. I would never hurt you, Maya. Let's just find a way to spend the night without compromising your safety or your reputation, you can't sleep outside tonight, my place is safe"

Maya agreed to the offer and then turned back slowly, walking to Maya's house, where he parked his car.

To Jonathan, he wants this night to be more slow, tonight was the best he had ever experienced.

He doesn't know how he developed feelings for how but somehow he wished they could end up together.

They got there and they both entered the car.

"I hope you can drive at night," Maya said, avoiding eye contact with him.

"Of course, I have been driving for a long, are you scared?"

"No, I was just thinking I could help you"

"Can you drive well?"

"No, I learnt it when I was in school but I might be better than you, who knows?"

They both laughed harder.

Jonathan's heart skipped a beat as he listened to Maya's soft laughter. Her smile was infectious, and he found himself unable to resist her charm. As he drove, he couldn't help but steal glances at her, taking in the way her hair fell around her face, the way she bit her lip when she was thinking.

They drove in silence for a while, the city lights illuminating the streets around them. Finally, Jonathan spoke, his voice low and serious.

Just when Jonathan started concentrating on driving, Maya stared at him and smiled.

"He's cute, right? Isn't he?" Maya didn't know when he said that aloud.

Jonathan hearing that, he smiled

A blush spread across Jonathan's face as he heard Maya's words.

"Cute, huh?" he teased, a playful glint in his eye. "I'll take that as a compliment."

Maya giggled, her smile bright and mischievous. "Oh, you should," she said, her voice light and teasing. "You definitely earned it."

Jonathan couldn't help but laugh, his heart filled with a warmth he hadn't felt in a long time. He turned to Maya, his gaze soft and affectionate.

Minutes later, they got to his mansion. Maya's mouth was wide open as she stepped into the mansion, she had never seen such a house before, probably in movies and in the story, but she had never seen such a house before, so she couldn't keep it to herself.

"I love this, this mansion is so big and beautiful"

"Thank you" he said as they walked towards the house.

“Do you stay alone in this big house?”

“Well, should I say yes or No? I have a lot of workers working for me in this house and they stay here with me”

“Oh! I understand”

Maya's eyes danced as she took in the stunning interior of Jonathan's mansion, her awe increasing with every step.

“How did you build a big house like this with the plan to leave alone, it's too big” She said, while admiring the house.

She doesn't know how, but she now feel very comfortable with him.
