The bad boy craves me

4.What the hell just happened.

I was like a nervous kitten, as today my dad would introduce me to his business associates. Some of the richest in the world would be there and that, by itself, was intimidating and nerve-wrecking.

Knowing that all the attention would be on me wasn't quite going well with the tingly feeling I was getting at the pit of my stomach.

I've always managed to stay away from dad's business events but, unfortunately, tonight was an exception.

I took a second glance at the mirror. My then lengthy hair curled to the side, my baby pink dress tightly fitted from the top to the waist and frilled to the bottom above my knees my six-inch nude stilettos fitted perfectly. I did some light makeup with some mascara and added my nude lipstick for my last touch-up. I was now on fleek.

I smiled at that, innocently with a little seduction.

I then headed downstairs to meet my parents, so I could get the day over with. The only reason I wasn't freaking out was because Steff would be there to my relief.

"You look beautiful Hun," my mom gushed, twirling me around while my dad stood scowling at the length of my dress.

"I think your dress is too revealing. "You look like a wrapped candy ready to be popped," my dad spoke, surprising me.

"Really thanks Dad!" notes the sarcasm.

"That wasn't a compliment. Now go change!"

"Hun she's almost eighteen, she's not a child anymore," mom sighed, walking away towards the door.

"But don't you see the length of her dress, it's way too short!" he whined, following behind her.

"No, it's perfectly fine now let her be in peace," my mom answers dad.

And that's how we ended up reaching at the ball...... arguing he could be a frustrating man sometimes.

"Anna!" I heard my name being called by a familiar voice from behind as my family and I entered the ball.

"Steff!" I yelled, relieved, hugging him tightly to me.

"Woah, if you weren't off limits, I'd definitely take you to my bed tonight. You look beautiful," he smirked, eyeing me up and down.

"As if you're not so bad yourself, Mr." I said, patting him on the shoulder. I don't know what I'd do without him!

"I'm so glad you're here. I'm already feeling tight on the inside," I whispered in his ear nervously.

He then gave me a wide grin and spoke. "You naughty girl, don't tell anyone, but I'm also long on the inside too," at this I blushed of course he would make it out that way.

Luckily, my parents were ahead of us.

"I... I didn't mean it like that!" I whispered flushed.

"Come on, you'll be fine," he spoke, taking my arm and pulling me along.

Steffon McCollum and my family were great friends. My mom and his mom went to college together. That's how they met Dad and Bob, who were best friends at the time, Bob's Steff's father.

"Here she is the girl of the moment," Mrs. McCollum said, with a very bright smile and wide-open arms, her very tight black dress clung to her like a second skin and brown wavy hair set free.

"You look beautiful, my beautiful goddaughter," she gushed.

"You look stunning as usual, Mrs. McCollum," I smiled, earning a tight hug from her. She's always treated me as if I was a princess.

"How are you kiddo?" Mr. McCollum asked with a small smile, his curly black hair neatly done.

"I'm doing great sir," I spoke with the best smile I could muster up nervously. His presence always gave off dominance.

"Dear, stop calling us Mr. and Mrs. and sir you're making us sound so old, it's Bob and Lisa. Remember we talked about it?" he spoke gesturing between him and Mrs. McCollum.

"Sorry, old habits die hard. I'll try to remember that next time," I spoke sheepishly.

It was the least I could do. I basically lived at their home anyway.

Mrs. McCollum is a fashion designer, and Bob was a respected lawyer, both very famous for their work in New York City.

As I took a look around the massive ballroom, it was a beautiful elegance that could be seen all around. Everything was in gold decorated for royalty.

The ball was filled with numerous rich and elegant individuals dressed to impress and flaunt how rich they were.

The mere fact that I'd be introduced to them turned me off it looked quite imitating.

I could see a couple of students from school food aligned to the left side of the room hall as my eyes glowed, surely. I needed a big bag to stash some of it.

I mean, I was skinny and no matter what I tried to put at least a pound on it would go nowhere. Some would call it great genes, but to me, it was a curse.

"Anna, Lisa!" my thoughts were shortly interrupted as I saw a model walking towards us. She was accompanied by a bulky man and...... Kristrin?

If it wasn't for the fact that I knew Kristrin went to high school, I'd surely have mistaken him for a businessman. He was dressed in an all-black suit with a black bow, thick black hair done neatly to perfection and a sleek gold watch hanging loosely on the wrist.

He. Was. Gorgeous!

I couldn't help but drool at the god like a man walking towards me.

"It's so good to see you here!" the woman spoke, giving Mom and Lisa a hug and a small wave to the others.

"Thanks for inviting us," mom spoke up.

"Well, you guys are close friends and one of our most trusted business partners after all,"

"And this must be Annabella," she asked, gesturing towards me, a small smile playing on her lips.

She was wearing a beautiful blue ball gown dress mostly see-through, covering her private areas. She had elegance and class that much was for sure.

Surely enough, the man beside her was her husband, matching her with the same-colored blue suit. He was thick both reeked of power, making them a lot more intimidating.

"Annabella, this is Mr. and Mrs. Slovac your father's business partner," mom said.

My dad was a business partner with Kristin's father, and I didn't know about it! You've got to be kidding me.

"Your beautiful, I finally get to meet the famous Bella. I've heard so much about you," she gushed. "I'm sure you've met my son Kristrin."

Kristrin stood there looking at the end of my dress before looking up with a scowl on his handsome face.

God, not him too! My dress was not tacky.

I blushed furiously, looking towards the ground. The boy was a replica of his father but with adoring features of his mother.

My stomach twisted into knots as I struggled to gain composure. The sudden spotlight made me feel uneasy and surely enough, if I did not get away soon, I might do something I'd regret later.......and this moment.

"Uh...yes, of course, I have to please excuse m...me, I have to go to the bathroom," I stuttered out nervously hurrying away in the direction I thought would be the bathroom without waiting for an answer.

The thought of making eye contact with Kristrin seemed too much to handle and the fact that I must have looked like a tomato didn't help.

A couple of minutes later after searching for a bathroom in this massive house, I gave up and decided to head back. Luckily, I was able to tell where the noise was coming from.

"Bella," a husky voice said from behind as I froze.

Slowly turned around and was met with the most breathtaking and beautiful silver eyes of Kristrin.

"Kristrin," I heaved out, my lungs feeling constricted with the sudden loss of air.

"Beautiful..." he asked, looking directly at me for a moment. There I thought he'd meant.....No it can't be!

Must be the interior.

"W...what are you doing here?"

What kind of questions was that? This was his mansion after all. I wanted to smack myself.

I quickly closed my eyes, trying to compose myself breathing. I chanted before reopening them to see Kristrin looking at me intently.

"Come here," he whispered, extending his hand for me to take.

Oh, god, should I go?

I hesitated. What did he have to show me? But then again, what did I have to lose?........my Virginity?......yep.

Slowly placing my hand within his, he led me up a couple of stairs to a balcony. The beautiful balcony weren't even words to describe how I felt as I gazed upon the scenery before me.

It was a massive garden filled with different colored lanterns, couples dancing underneath the night sky filled with stars as musicians played harmoniously. It was most magnificent.

"Amazing.... isn't it?" he whispered on the back of my neck, towering over me from behind.

His proximity was close, very close, as I could feel his hot minty breath fanning the back of my neck. My hair set to the side, giving him more access.

Was he speaking about......? No.

I quickly closed my eyes, trying to set my attention back to the scenery before me instead of how close he was. If he took this any further, I wouldn't be able to stand for much longer.

I then heard a sharp intake of breath followed by a gush of warmth spreading across the back of my neck. "Addictive....so sweet," he whispered in my ear seductively.

I shivered at the contact of his hot breath. What's happening to me?

Could he be...... No! Stop thinking that way. I even want more of this scenery.

I needed to leave quickly before I did something I might regret, plus my parents might be looking for me.

"I S... "Should be going," I whispered, but failed to move as his hands quickly circled around my waist possessively holding me against his broad and muscular chest.

I gasped, feeling conscious of the position we were in. His sweet yet strong cologne enchanted me as I subconsciously leaned within his touch, biting my lip to stop the mouthy moan I would no doubt make.

My nerves were seemingly almost gone.

"Kristrin?" I whispered after a long pause, contemplating if I was in a dream.

At this he released his possessive grasp around my waist. I took this as my opportunity to swiftly move my wobbling legs and body away from his reach.

I took a last glance back at the boy who stood staring at me smugly.

"Soon princess...very soon,"

I blushed furiously, then sped away in the direction of the music but couldn't help but to think.

What the hell just happened?
