A Love Beyond Recall

Chapter 4 :Unveiling Desires

Avery couldn't immediately respond to what she heard from him; she couldn't read his mind. She felt chills down her spine from his words. True, he was wealthy and handsome, and all women would be drawn to him, and wouldn't likely refuse his proposal.

Sir Zack seemed more like an uncle or older brother figure to her. Their age gap was significant, with a strict 11-year difference, and it wasn't ideal for her to have a more mature spouse in mind. She preferred someone of her age, a simple individual. His life was more complicated than that of regular people like her, who came from modest backgrounds.

Besides, she already had feelings for someone else – Warren, a simple individual like herself, intelligent, and hardworking. Warren was also a working student, just like her.

Avery is deeply contemplating as the young man considers speaking again.

"Avery..... , do you also want me????" he asked seriously.

"Ahhmm, Sir Zack, I like someone else," she said, nervous about his possible reaction but choosing to be honest.

The young man's aura suddenly darkened, he stood up and briefly turned away, holding his nape. Avery could sense his disappointment.

"If so, you already have a boyfriend," he remarked to her, his jaw clenched as he stared at her.

"He's not my boyfriend, Sir, and I haven't even thought about accepting him," she replied, looking down.

"Does that mean you would accept him eventually?" The young man's voice is filled with bitterness.

"It's not like that, Sir, it's still a long way off, and a lot can happen. Maybe we're not meant for each other, let fate decide," she calmly replied.

"Fate...., huh" The young man said angrily.

Avery looked at his face, he was furious and his eyebrows were furrowed, making her even more nervous. She wondered why he was acting so strange towards her.

While she was looking down, Zack approached and stood beside her, holding her beautiful face, he gazed at her lips.

"May I kiss you?" His eyes speak, expressing a silent but intense desire.

"Sir....." was all Avery could say before Zack tenderly kissed her on the lips, being careful in his approach as he claimed her softness.

Avery couldn't move as the man kissed her, her heart pounding wildly, she didn't reciprocate the kiss, almost like a statue letting the man take the lead.

This marked her first kiss, leaving her uncertain of how to respond, with no strength to halt it.

"Kiss me back, Avery!!!! " the young man softly pleaded.

Avery closes her eyes, unsure how to respond to the young man's request. It's a new sensation for her, intensifying the beating of her heart and enveloping her body in a tingling sensation, stirring a peculiar heat in her most intimate parts.

"Follow my lead, Avery," Zach softly commands as he continues to kiss her rosy lips.

She imitated his kiss, matching the young man's exploration of her lips. Until the man's kiss became bold, one of his hands supporting the young woman's back.

He slipped his hand inside the young woman's bra, cupping her breast.

Avery halted in surprise, And she stepped back from the man. She didn't know what to say, so she ran out of the Zack's room.

Leaving Zack stunned...

Avery is confused, unsure of how to face him again. She was swept away by his kisses, and they nearly went too far.

It's 9 a.m. in the morning, and Avery is already awake, it's Sunday, and her boss doesn't have work. He doesn't bother her in the morning. It's also Nanay Maria's day off. She remembered her sneakers that she left in the man's room, so she went upstairs to check if her boss was there.

She walks slowly to avoid making noise.

"What are you doing here?" the young man asked, puzzled.

"Oh, my goodness!" she blurted out in surprise.

He wears a high-performance running jacket with matching leggings and top, accessorized with a designer sports cap and wireless earbuds. His face is sweaty from his run.

He looks so cool, Avery whispered to herself as she stared at her boss.

"I just came to get my shoes, sir." she said, nervously.

"Why did you leave them?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Uhm, sir, because... because you kissed me... I got scared!!!" She realized the danger of her words.

"Oh, really, ?????" He asked with a smile, wiping his sweat with his towel.

"I'll just go down, sir, I'll come back later," she turned to leave, but he immediately grabbed her arm, pushed her back, and leaned her against the door of his room.

"I warn you, Avery, don't do anything that will get you into trouble. From now on, don't go to my room," he said calmly. His face was very close to hers. Avery could smell his fragrant breath. His red lips were alluring, she was gripped by nervousness, she bit her lip, and her heart beat fast. She closed her eyes when she saw him staring at her lips, expecting him to kiss her.

"Get lost," she opened her eyes when she heard his words.

Avery ran downstairs to escape from her embarrassing daydream.

"Avery!!!" Zack called out to her.

She immediately turned to him.

"Why, sir?"

"Dress up, we're leaving," he ordered her before entering his room.

He didn't even wait for her response.

Avery didn't know what to wear. She also didn't know where they were going since it was their first time going out. So, she wore comfortable clothes - denim shorts, a white T-shirt, a small backpack, and a black cap. She also wore the sneakers given to her by her master.

When she opened the door, she saw him standing beside the door. He was looking at her white legs.

He wears a casual outfit - tailored designer jeans, a silk shirt, a pair of sneakers just like hers, and designer sunglasses. He looked even more handsome and youthful in his attire. Couple shoes she whispered, hmmm I smell something fishy and I have a crazy thought.

"Let's go," he ordered her and he went ahead to his car.

This person is really unpredictable!! He didn't want me hanging out in his room, but here he is lounging in my room.. Tsk tsk.

"Where are we going, Sir?" she curiously asked.

"It's your birthday today, right? I'll treat you," he said.

"Oh, right, hehe," she forgot amidst her thoughts.

"So, you're 21 years old? ," he remarked.

"Yes, I'm a young man, I mean, a young woman now," she said with a grin.

"That's good to hear then," he replied.

Avery's heart pounded in her chest as Zack started the engine. She couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness. This was the first time they were going out together, and she had no idea what to expect. She glanced at him, his profile illuminated by the morning sun streaming through the car window. He seemed focused on the road, but Avery couldn't shake the feeling that he was aware of her gaze.

As they drove, the city unfolded around them. Zack drove with a quiet confidence that made Avery feel safe and secure. She couldn't help but admire his composure, his effortless charm. He was everything that any girls had ever dreamed of, and yet, he was also a mystery to her.

"Where are we going?" Avery finally asked, breaking the silence.

Zack smiled, a playful glint in his eyes. "It's a surprise. But I promise, you'll love it."

Avery's curiosity piqued, she settled back into her seat, trying to guess their destination. He continued driving, further and further away.

Finally, they reached a secluded beach. The sand was soft and white, the water sparkling blue. A gentle breeze carried the scent of salt and sea air. It was a perfect day for a beach trip.

"Happy birthday, Avery," Zack said, handing her a small gift bag.

Avery's eyes widened in surprise. "You didn't have to do that, thank you," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.

"I wanted to," Zack replied, his gaze warm and sincere. "It's your birthday. I wanted to make it special."

Avery opened the gift bag and found a beautiful necklace, a delicate silver chain adorned with a small, sparkling seashell pendant. It was perfect.

Zack smiled. "I thought you'd like it. It reminds me of you. Strong, yet delicate."
