The Billionaire’s Secret Lover

Chapter 2

Gabriella

After the talk with Rouge, I found myself in one of the Red rooms that are used when a client wants a private session. It was just my unlucky day but I had to endure it all as I had no choice in the matter. The lights in the room were low and a bit dim but you could still see your surroundings. In the middle was a double bed draped in crimson sheets. Around it was a transparent mosquito net. There was a window on the left side of the bed but it was shut and black curtains prevent the light outside to invade the room.

On the right side was a medium-sized couch and not far from it was a strip pole. I had never entered this room before today but I caught a glimpse of it one time. While I was marveling in on the contents of the room the door opened. I flinched and turned quickly on my heels to see who the intruder was. At first, I could not see anything clearly but I saw a silhouette of a person. I got scared thinking that I was in danger and all alone in this room. For a moment I forgot the purpose of my presence here.

The person just stood by the doorway and did not utter a single word. Rouge appeared shortly and I had never been glad to see her before now.

" Ohh I see that you have not gotten acquainted." She stood between us and outstretched her hand towards me. " Me Topez, this is the girl you requested, Bella.

I hope she'll cater to your needs and match your expectations. " That being said, she narrowed her eyes at me to make her point clear. I nodded acknowledging her discreet warning.

All this while the so-called Mr. Topez still hadn't said anything. " Have a splendid evening," and just like that Rouge was gone and I was left alone with him. He moved from his spot and stopped under the light. Now I could see him and he truly wasn't a disappointment. I was awestruck with his magnificent presence but one thing out of all caught my attention. Those blue eyes. They were so uncanny to those I saw from the stage during my performance.

Could it be that he is the same man? It was like time stopped right there with him taking me in and with me doing the same. His hair was jet black, shoulder-length and the sides were tucked behind his ears but some fell in front of his face. The nose was a bit crooked showing that it had one suffered a blow and his lips, so pink and wet as if he had run his tongue across them several times. Not to mention his jaw, what a glass cutter, defined and sharp. I'll conclude by saying that his face was crafted to perfection and there was nothing amiss about it

My eyes continued to trail his physique. It was strange that the both of us were just standing and not talking or doing anything else. I should be scared to be alone with him but I wasn't, not anymore. It felt like we were in a trance.

He wore an expensive suit that hid his unique physique. It was snug and fit him well like a second skin. It was a black suit and shirt as well as black dress pants. His chest was broad and his arms were muscled. Unfortunately, my free show got cut when he started to move again. He took predatory steps towards me as if he was timing his prey. I tensed and became alert.

" Don't you think it's enough starring for now?" his deep baritone voice resonated around the whole room. Once he was a foot away from me he grabbed my waist so we were breaths away from each other. My breath hitched and held on to his steel-like arms. His face was so expressionless but his eyes spoke volumes. Besides his handsome face, his eyes are what I like most about him.

" From afar I could see that you are beautiful but up close...you are gorgeous," his minty breath hit my senses as well as the manly cologne, and I was a blushing mess. God, what am I doing? I let this man come close to me and even let him touch me but I'm still not scared shitless. I should be couped in some corner trying to get away from his reach but strangely so, his touch was warm. I felt safe in the confines of his arms. I averted my eyes away trying to conceal the redness of my cheeks but his fingers turned my face.

" Never hide your face from me. Let me see all of you." After that, he turned to sit on the couch behind me and gently pulled me into his lab. Everything with him felt so natural and it was starting to scare me that on our first encounter he had so much control over me. He secured his hold on his waist again and held on tight.

" You are too quiet Bella, relax because I don't bite, at least...no yet. My heart raced at that indirect proclamation. As for me being quiet, it's a habit. I've never been one to indulge in a conversation for long with someone. I just let whoever is speaking speak. Anyway, the people here never cared about my opinions on any matter, they just declare or order me around. The only person I could speak to freely was my mom.

" It's G-Gabriella," I uttered lowly looking into his electric eyes. " What? What do you say?" His brows furrowed in confusion. I guess he didn't hear me despite our proximity.

" My real name is not Bella, it is Gabriella." He smiled at what I said and took my hand to place a soft kiss on it. " A beautiful name for a beautiful lady. From now on I'll call you Gabby instead of Bella." He has already decided on a new nickname. The reason I told him my name was because I didn't like the fake name.

" Since you have told me your name I guess it my turn. My name is Dominic Topez and it's nice to meet you." I didn't even get a warning sign but I felt his lips land on mine and mingled in a mind-boggling kiss.
