Velvet Shadows

Ahvi's POV "Are you excited?" Diatah asked me. Her eyes twinkled as she stared into mine. "Excited? "I'm so happy!" I giggled. Of course, I was excited. It'd been six months since we last saw each other. Diatah was always traveling overseas because of her profession, unlike me, who had to stay at home and work nearby because of my drunkard, depressed father. "It feels good to finally be away from that house, and it's not because of work or school," I added, a sigh of relief escaping my lips. "I know right?" She chuckled, "It feels so so so good!" Suddenly, her phone chimed. "Hold on," she said, holding up her hand, "Mami is calling," "Alright alright." I watched as she stood up and left. Immediately, loneliness washed over. Maybe I was too dependent on Diatah, but she was the only friend I had, and practically the only one who understood me completely. Not even my ex-boyfriend, Alec, understood me as much as she did. A few minutes later she came back, but with a frown on her lips. "What's wrong?" I asked, curiosity lacing my voice. "That wasn't Mami. It was Elena. Mami got a midnight emergency, now she's in the hospital," She let out a suffocated sigh. I stood up and wrapped my arms around her, knowing that she needed to leave but didn't want to leave me all alone. "Go." I said. "What?" She blinked, "Ahvi. I just came back.. Elena is with Mami and-" "They need you more than I do," I pressed on, leaving no room for argument, "Besides you'll be home for three months, that's more than enough time for us to hang out," I forced a small smile, I didn't want her to leave, but this was her mom we were talking about....she had to. "Okay," she slumped her shoulders, "Shall I drop you at home then?" "Nah," I shook my head as I pulled away from the embrace, "I can't face my father right now, I'm not in the mood I'll stay a bit longer," "Okay," she nodded, grabbing her purse, then stopped and turned to me. "Well, in that case. Do make sure to have the greatest night of your life. I mean it. Have fun." "I will." I reassured her. Knowing deep down that fun would be the opposite of what I was going to have without her. ~ After Diatah left, I sat all alone to myself, turning down almost every guy that approached me. You're here to have fun Ahvi, not turn down multiple men as if you have an option. I wonder if my hormones even still existed. "Whiskey, neat." A deep male voice beside me pulled me from my thoughts, there was no one sitting next to me so he probably just came. I turned around, wanting to get a good look at whoever it was and I instantly gulped. Our eyes met, causing the air in my lungs to seize. His eyes..a piercing blue that seemed to cut through the dim club. My eyes trailed to his lips, then his nose and finally his whole face. He was devastatingly handsome, so handsome I felt my knees buckle, he definitely didn't have the type of face I had expected from a bar like this. I bit my lower lip, f**k. Was he sculpted by the gods themselves? "Staring?" "What?" I snapped back to reality when he chuckled at me. "You were staring, sweetheart," "No I wasn't!" I disagreed, trying to ignore the fact that the word 'sweetheart' had my heart doing a stupid flip. "Oh," He arched his brow, clearly amused. "Is that so?" "Yes, it is," I nodded, feigning a boldness I didn't quite feel. "Don't flatter yourself," He let out another chuckle, I hated to admit how beautiful it sounded. His voice was deep yet it sounded like music to my ears. What the f**k, Ahvi? You're going too far! "Nael," he said, stretching a hand forward, "you are?" "Ahvi," I replied, shaking his hand gently. His touch sent shivers down my spine, the rings in his knuckles pressed against my skin, igniting a fire in me. "Nice to meet you, Ahvi." I offered him a small smile as I withdrew my hand. "Likewise." Every muscle in my body tightened as I sat there awkwardly, I didn't know what to say or do. However, I was lucky when he started the conversation first. At first I was a bit reluctant, careful enough not to say rubbish, but after some moments I eased up. Despite the fact he seemed to be around my age or slightly older, he was nice and carefree, though he had this dominant dangerous aura, I overlooked it- no, it turned me on even and it scared me dearly. "I need to leave," I said, checking the time on my phone, "it's late," He looked at the wristwatch on his wrist , then a frown etched on his lips. "It's too late, you won't get a cab by this time," "My place isn't so far," I shrugged, "I can trek it," actually I lied, my place was freaking far, I had no car and only cash. However, that wasn't the issue, my father was. He would kill me if I didn't return back home today- f**k, it's another day even. This is literally 1am! "How about I drop you off instead?" He suggested. "It's too dangerous to walk alone, especially for a girl," Sir, it's even more dangerous to be alone with you..I surprised myself by nodding slowly, agreeing to it. Few minutes later, he cleared the bill and we left the club. I protested and insisted I could clear my own bill, but he refused. When we got out, I gasped when he pointed to his car." Holy f*****g - that's his car? We both walked towards it, he held the front door but just as I was about to step in, I tripped on my heels and fell. Great- "I..uhm," I stuttered, embarrassed, I was literally ass-flat on the floor. I heard a chuckle behind him, he turned over and held his arm, grabbing my hand softly, he lifted me up effortlessly. "Thank you." I murmured under my breath, ashamed to face him. He said nothing and just tucked a stray strand of my hair behind my ears. My eyes trailed up to his, suddenly, my heart began beating fast. Then, I did what I had been wanting to do since my eyes first landed on his lips. I kissed him. I started out by gently placing my lips on top of his, hoping he wouldn't push me away. I stayed there, waiting for his approval, just when I thought he wasn't going to do anything. He grunted, pulling me closer towards him, our bodies were now pressed against each other, leaving no space between us. I don't know if it was because of my hormones, or the fact that I've been sexually starved, but I felt completely out of control. The noises coming from the back of his throat made me even hungrier. Using my strength, I pushed him against the car. Within seconds, just when I thought I was in control, he turned around, slamming my back against the car. He pulled away, staring at me deep in the eyes. Without a word, he opened the passenger door, a smirk tugged on my lips as if my mind already understood what he had just done. It was an invitation. I could easily just walk away, but.... I pulled him back to me, pressing my lips against his, he opened his mouth, allowing me to rub my tongue gently around his as his erection pressed hard against me, causing me to moan. We both walked into the car. I don't even know how it was possible since we were literally eating each other's faces, but the next thing I knew. I was lying on the seat at the back of his car, while he was on top. I looked over his shoulder, Thank the stars, the door was locked. He unbuttoned his shirt, tossing it to the other side, my eyes were glued to his chest, abs and...seriously, was he made by the gods themselves? I have never seen someone so perfect?! Positioning me under him, he kissed me deeply while his erection rubbed against me. I couldn't take it anymore and trailed my fingers from his chest to his belt, tugging on it. He chuckled as he drew my bottom lip with his teeth, letting go of my lips. He rubbed his fingertips on my waist, sliding his hand underneath my shirt, pulling it off in the process. I shivered when the air hit my skin, but it was quickly replaced by the warmth of his touch. I closed my eyes in pleasure when his fingers ran down my body, slow and steady. A gasp escaped my lips when his fingers stopped just above my Jean, his eyes searched mine, as if looking for approval, I nodded slowly. Finally, he unbuttoned my Jean and slid his fingers in, slowly massaging my heat. Just as I arched my back, getting lost in the moment. I realized that after this night, I would never be the same again.
