CHAPTER 53: The hot kiss!
“And now the moment you have all been waiting for, let us welcome the host and celebrant, the cynosure of all eyes. MISS ARIANA GARCIA!” The MC screamed, stressing out her name.
There was a long staircase at the anterior of the hall that was embellished with red glowing light and a beautiful red carpet.
The lights in the hall suddenly died out and everywhere was enveloped in drowning darkness. The lights flickered for a moment, and then it came on again, illuminating the whole hall and chasing away the darkness.
Ariana suddenly surfaced at the top landing of the majestic and curved white staircase once the lights went back on. Their eyes glistered with surprise as they become mesmerized and hypnotized by her enchanting beauty.
Their stares of wonder made her antsy. Didn’t she look good enough? What if they thought she was hideous?
“Stop being a pessimist, Riri, you’re nowhere near hideous. Breath in, breath out. You got this!” Her inner goddess told her.
She abruptly opened her eyes and the crowd she saw made her go into panic mode and just like that, she froze at the spot.
Her heart raced so hard in her chest and her breathing quickened. A feeling of agitation washed over her, causing her hands to tremble. A sudden tight feeling in her chest made her unable to take in deep breaths.
God, she hated this much crowd and the way they were staring at her made her insides quiver. She couldn’t do this!
But her dad put so much faith in her. The reputation of her family was at stake. She had to do this, but she just couldn’t! She has serious anxiety disorder.
She felt her stomach do a flip repeatedly. Oh gosh, her stomach was in ruins. Here it comes, the impending wave of diarrhea.
What made her lose her shit completely, was the wave of nausea that suddenly hit her. She couldn’t take it anymore, she had to leave this place before she ends up retching in public or even worse, shitting on herself!
Forgive me, dad, but I can’t do it!
She was about running out when Blake came to her rescue. He walked over to the base of the stairs and winked at her.
Color rushed up her cheeks and butterflies even had the guts to swim in her stomach. They had taken over her stomach and made it their home.
“Come on, baby, you got this. Just look at me and me alone. Forget the crowd.” He whispered. Since she couldn’t hear him, she just looked at the way his mouth moved and nodded. His appearance incited this weird shivers in her body, and it made her anxiety symptoms flee.
You got this Riri! She drew in a deep breath and expelled it loudly.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She gripped tight unto the bouquet of red roses in her hands as she slowly descended the stairs, nervously at first, but as she descended the stairs, she grew gutsy. She suddenly forgot about the crowd and all she could see was him.
Blake gulped, keeping her under his inexpugnable gaze as his heart leaped with mirth. She looked ravishing, no, she was ravishing.
And with every breathtaking taking step she made, seemed to lure him into her eternal cage of love and desire. He was immured in it with no way out and he didn’t mind.
Oh, her eyes… He couldn’t help but be imprisoned in the pools of her entrancing and silvery-grey orbs. No wonder she stole his heart so easily. He was captured by her eyes the first day he met her.
Her gorgeous catwalk seemed to make his heart drum harder in his chest. He could already imagine a familiar scene that was forthcoming, their wedding day.
The way she strode down the stairs was almost as if she were slowly ambling down the aisle with grace, while he was eagerly waiting for her at the altar.
Only they weren’t going to get married in church, but in court. He couldn’t do a church wedding, he was Lucifer’s son, after all. The enemy of God.
She was almost at the end of the staircase when she unexpectedly glanced at the gaping crowd. They were gaping at how beautiful and angelic she looked, but her mind was already running wild with ridiculous thoughts.
Most of the men were staring at with lascivious gazes, and most of the woman were glaring at her for capturing their partner’s attention.
Some women also threw her smutty glances, while some of them were simply feeding their eyes with her beauty, amazed at her stunning she looked.
Why were they all staring at her like that? She thought. Was something wrong with her dress, or was her make up ruined? She suddenly became apprehensive again that she wasn’t aware that she had missed a step.
She suddenly tripped and was about hitting the floor when he rushed up to her with the speed of light and caught her just in time.
She gasped, gazing into his blue eyes as her body became encased firmly in his arms. She saw him and him alone, and she suddenly became nescience of the people around her.
He saved her! If he had not caught her in time, she would have not only disgraced herself, she would have sustained various degrees of injuries. He was her knight in shining amour!
She felt her heart race uncontrollably under his blazing gaze and her body shuddering under his hot touch, butterflies dancing in her stomach and she felt this weird tingling in her heart.
Was she falling for him already? Or was she already in love with this man? That was a question she has no answer to. Or maybe she had the answer already, but she wasn’t ready to accept it.
She glanced at his succulent and enticing lips, and then she bit her bottom lips unwittingly.
“Hello pretty. Are you alright?” A smile ran across his lips.
“Yes,” she rasped and looked over at his lips again. God, she wanted so badly to kiss him, but the entire world was watching her, how could she possibly kiss him?
“I told you not to look at the crowd.” He scolded in a deep and desirous voice that made a patter of electricity run down her spine.
“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it,” she answered, apologetically. He espied her lips as they moved when she spoke. The desire to kiss her suddenly overwhelmed him, and he found himself peering at her lips intensely.
“Do you want me to kiss you, huh?” He rasped, his fingers caressing the sensitive spot on her neck, and that alone gave her the chills.
“Yes,” she replied, glancing at his lips yet again. God, yes! But the crowd!
“But…” He placed his index finger on her lips and shushed her up.
She stood there, feeling a desire run from her heart, to her chest, and down to her inner thighs, dampening her panties.
“Forget about them, just focus on me only.” She nodded in response, blinking at his lips once more. The way she gazed at his lips was enough to make him lose control.
“You’re driving me nuts, Riri!” He growled, and all of a sudden, their lips clasped in an eternal and blissful union. Time froze and the endearing desire to be in each other’s mouth was fulfilled.
His lips were so sweet, and they tasted like burnt marshmallows. His kisses were so soft, invoking in her pleasurable sensation.
Her lips were soft, almost silken, and pillowy against his own. He could feel the soft tickle of her breath beneath his nose, fingers carding through her hair as they breathed each other in.
Her knees grew weak and quivered and just when she thought she gonna fall, he wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her warm body into his.
His tongue was parting her quivering lips open and when he had gained access into her warm mouth, he wasted no time in plunging into her mouth.
She moaned, feeling this sudden warmth run through her, this sudden raw desire to take over. She threw caution to the wind, and before she knew it, she gripped his hair and deepened the kiss. The rhythm of the kiss swiftly turned from sensual and slow to wild and untamed.
Their tongues tangled and went to war in their locked mouths, battling madly for dominance, and it became impossible to tell which side was winning.
If they weren’t ultracautious, they were gonna go from kissing to making out, and from making out to ripping clothes off, and from ripping clothes off to do doing lustful things.
Suddenly, they heard someone clear his throat, and they were forced to break away from each other. Ariana flushed upon realizing what they had just done. They just kissed like two horny couples in front of over two hundred guests!
Blake glared at the person who had interrupted them, it was Liam! He felt like ripping him to shreds for interrupting.
“Remember, the party is that way and not in her mouth. You guys can have sex and kiss all day when no one is around!”
“We were not having sex!” She yelled, blushing hard. He was so audacious!
“Yeah, you weren’t but in just a few seconds later, he would carry you out to God knows where and fuck your brains out!”
