Enchantress

Chapter 3

We didn’t get to sleep until after the sun came up but here, I am an hour later staring at Matti while he’s asleep. I am exhausted but I don’t want this moment to end. Matti was amazing. He was amazing inside and out. I wanted nothing more than to lay here with him forever. I debated on getting up, getting dressed, and sneaking out. I was too tired. I rolled over and felt Matti reach for me. He wrapped his arms around me and pressed his body up against mine.

“You weren’t trying to sneak out were you?”

“I’m not going to say the thought didn’t cross my mind.”

“You’re not going anywhere, round two?” he asked as he began kissing my neck.

Just then there was a noise from the doorway. Matti looked up.

“I have a cell phone for a reason Dom. What do you want?”

“We have a meeting, or did you forget?”

“Merely distracted. I'll be down in a minute.”

With that Dom turned on his heel and headed down the stairs. I didn’t know if he could see me or even if he knew it was me under the sheet and I didn’t dare look to see his reaction.

“I have to go. You stay and sleep. I’ll return with breakfast.”

With that he was up and out of the bed and I allowed myself to drift off to some much-needed sleep.

Next thing I know I feel the bed beside me move.

“Matti?”

“Yes love,” he said crawling over next to me.

“What time is it?”

“It’s nearly two p.m.”

“Ugghhh”

“I brought brunch.”

“Okay I’m up.”

I got up and Matti handed me a T-shirt.

“Wear this.” he said kissing my forehead.

I threw on the T-shirt and grabbed my dress and headed downstairs. On the bar were two plates with waffles. They were topped with strawberries and peaches. Slathered on top was whipped cream and syrup. A glass of orange juice sat next to each plate. I took a seat on one of the bar stools.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

“Good. How was your meeting?”

“Boring as usual. Your brother and Dom keep things interesting though.”

He took the seat beside me and made small talk while we ate.

“I could get used to this you know. It is nice to have your company and someone to share breakfast with.”

How do I even respond to that?

“It’s nice having someone to share the little things with.”

We finished our breakfast and cleaned up.

“Want a shower?”

“That sounds amazing right now. Care to you join me?”

A smile played on his lips,” Of Course. I would never pass up a request like that.”

He led me to the master bathroom just off the bedroom. There was a stand-up shower tucked neatly into one corner and a toilet opposite it. Next to the toilet was a sink placed in black marble. In the middle of the room was a large jacuzzi bathtub. He walked over and started the shower. He walked back over to me unbuttoning his shirt along the way. He slipped it off as he reached me and tossed it on the floor. I undid his belt and slacks. He slipped them off and grabbed the bottom hem of the T-shirt I had on and pulled it over my head as he began to kiss my neck. Taking me by the waist he led me into the shower. The hot water and the thrusting of his hips against mine had me flustered. He lifted me up and I wrapped my long slender legs around his chiseled abs. He rested my back against the wall. He found his way inside me and began thrusting. Slowly at first but with each thrust became harder and faster. I was feeling so many things all at once. I never wanted this moment to end or this feeling to stop. The thrusting became more rhythmic and I felt like I was going to burst. I let out a moan simultaneously with his. He leaned his forehead against mine.

“You are amazing. I’ve never met anyone quite like you, with such fire and drive but is sweet and caring at the same time. I think I like you Taryn. I think I would like to spend a lot more time getting to know you, all of you, every single detail.”

I kissed him hard and passionately.

“I’d like that Matti. I’d like that a lot.”

I unwrapped my legs and Matti sat my feet back down on the floor. We finished our shower and I slid my perfect and seemingly lucky little black dress back on.

“Not that I don’t love being here with you, but I would really love to go put some different clothes on.”

“Are we still on for dinner tonight?”

“Of course.”

“Great! If you're ready, I'll give you a ride back to the dorms.”

“I’m ready!”

We headed for the elevator and were out the door and into the car in no time. When we pulled up in front of the dorms, he put the car in park. He jumped out and walked around to my side of the car and opened the door for me. After helping me out he leaned against the car grabbing me by my waist and pulling me close.

“I’ll pick you up around seven. Sound good?”

“Sounds great. I’ll see you then.”

He pulled me in for one last goodbye kiss and let go of my waist. Our hands lingered as I walked away. When they broke apart, he smiled and walked to the other side of his car climbing into the driver's seat. With that he was gone, and I was left staring after him. I started to walk toward the dorms not realizing that Viv and Alex were standing outside the dorm talking. I was so caught up in my own thoughts I nearly walked right by them.

“Matti huh? Things look like they went well last night,” Viv said giggling.

“Watch out for that one. He’s a notorious campus playboy,” Alex chimed in.

“Although I’ve never seen him act quite like that with anyone. He’s more of a one-night stand love ’em and leave ’em sort of guy,” Viv said as she eyed me suspiciously.

“Let’s hope I’m worth the change. I must get changed. I have a date with Matti at seven. Malachi has called my phone nearly twenty times. I need to call him back, but I really don’t want to deal with the overbearing brother routine right now. Anyone want to grab lunch? I’m famished.”

They both nodded their heads, so we headed to the café on the other side of campus. We grabbed a booth and placed our order.

Viv began going over last night's events after I left. Apparently, my brother was a blast.

“Malachi jumped off the stage and surfed the crowd. He was tearing it up. Dom had to help him down. Dom and Lila looked awfully cozy last night. He was only there for about another half hour and then I saw them slip out the back door together,” Viv kept carrying on.

“Who’s Lila?” I asked as our food arrived.

“She’s a junior studying prelaw. Tall, blonde, dazzling smile. She is all hot and heavy for Dom. Malachi said they’ve been off and on since they’re freshman year,” she kept talking but I had stopped listening.

I felt sick. I felt like a homewrecker. Why? He kissed me. Not the other way around. How could I have been so stupid to think he had feelings for me. He was clearly in love with someone else. I was such a fool.

Suddenly I thought I was going to hurl. I looked up and they were walking in. He had his arm around her waist. Malachi followed them in. Great. I had to get out of here. I couldn’t take this right now. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. They were stinging and burning. My chest was aching. I made an excuse up to Viv. I told her I didn’t feel well that I thought it was all the alcohol from last night catching up to me and headed for the door. I could feel his eyes burning into me. Before I could make it to the door Malachi had stepped in front of me.

“Where do you think you're going?”

“Home. I’m not feeling very good Malachi. Now isn’t a good time to talk.”

“Are you ok?”

“Yeah, I just need some Dayquil and some rest.”

“Let me walk you home.”

“Damn it Malachi! I don’t need a babysitter! I’m fine!”

I pushed passed him and out through the door. I walked away leaving him staring after me.

I reached my room and curled up in my bed. I let the tears fall. I don’t even know why I’m upset. We had one kiss. We weren’t together. Never had been. I had something with someone else. Why does this hurt so bad? Maybe I had just imagined all those thoughts and feelings. Maybe he had never even been into me at all. Maybe that kiss was just in the heat of the moment. There was a knock on the door. It was probably Malachi being a pest because of how I acted.

“Go away Malachi. I’m fine.”

No response and more knocking. Damn. It was probably the RA. I got up and did a quick check of my face. I did a quick clean up and answered the door. Dom was standing on the other side of it. Dom. Oh. My. God.

“Yeah?”

He didn’t say a word. His fingers were in my hair, grabbing it at the base of my neck. His lips were on my throat. He walked me backwards kicking the door closed. He kept going until we hit my bed. He flipped around pulling me down on top of him. I wanted to stop, to slow down, but my body nor my mind would cooperate with my thoughts. I could feel his tool throbbing against my leg. He wanted me. He wanted me badly. I wanted him too but not like this. He flipped me over. He was on top of me. My dress was pushed up. He was hungry. I wanted this so bad every Orpheus of my body was aching for it. I cried out in frustration. I just wanted him inside me. His pants unzipped and there it was. He was inside me, ravaging my body, I felt like I would explode. With each thrust he went deeper and deeper inside me. He thrust harder and harder. I cried out. The fireworks were coming. I was gripping my sheets as hard as I could, raising my pelvis to meet each gallant thrust. We were both moaning. He kept thrusting and then he flipped me over on to my stomach. He began thrusting harder as he pulled my hair from behind. Fireworks exploded inside my body. He gave a final thrust followed by a moan. He laid his head on my back. Neither of us moved. We stayed like we were listening to each other's heartbeats.

“I tried so hard to avoid this. When you answered the door, you looked so upset and I could avoid it anymore.”

“Well maybe I should be upset more often.”

“Malachi sent me to check on you. He figured if he came it would only upset you more.”

“He knows me so well. He’s overbearing so yeah I’d be furious.”

He got up and straightened himself up.

“I have to go right now. We’ll talk later. Promise.”

He kissed me one last time and he was out the door.

I have a date in an hour in a half with a guy who may be into me or may be playing me and I just had s*x with a guy who may be doing the same thing. When did life get so complicated?
