Chase Me

Alteo

"You, what are you doing here?" she asked nervously.

I never dreamed that I would see her again. I was following Filip's advice and leaving her alone. She's the only reason why I haven't been back to Seattle in the last 6 months. I knew that if I saw her again I'd make her mine if she wanted me or not. But here she was, right here, standing in front of me. When Mark told me that his lady would be bringing a friend I didn't care to ask who it would be. I only had one woman on my mind and he brought her to me.

I didn't answer her right away. I wanted to enjoy the view. I was fully aroused by just looking at her. It was taking everything out of me not to take her right here bent over this counter. The thin silky material of her dress hugged her breasts and outlined her nipples. I felt weak not being able to reach out to touch.

She tried to move away but I held her waist and pulled her into me. Her eyes widened and that's when I knew that she felt me. I had no shame in showing her my body's response to her. I studied her face as if I had just been handed a rare jewel. I inspected every inch of her wanting to re-brand her image in my mind so that there was no chance of her fading away.

I kept going over that day and how it may have turned out if she showed up. I reached out and caressed her face, she didn't flinch or move my hand away. I smiled and licked my lips. I wanted to taste her but I had to control myself.

"I still didn't forgive you for not showing up, you know I waited 2 hours for you. You must have been busy i ëmbël, that's what happened right?" I managed to let out.

She stayed silent but maintained our eye contact as if she were soaking me in and breaking apart my layers. I was the one to look away first. I really was trying my hardest to keep my composure but this pull....

"Answer me" I grunted against her ear. I stayed there for a while inhaling and suffocating myself in her smell. She smelled sweet...creamy....milky....warm? I can't explain it. It was exotic, definitely not something I'm used to and it only added to me wanting her more.

I can't do this now, my mind was runny wild with how I would please her. I needed her to use those plump lips to answer me. I wonder how her lips felt, how they tasted. Would they be as soft as I am imagining? I reached out and ran my fingers across them but then pulled away. I had to.

I started to walk away but I then felt her reach out and touch my arm. I turned around smiling too fast for my liking, I'll have to work on that. She stood there searching my face, not this shit again. Does she not notice what she's doing to me?

I groaned and started to walk away again and she finally spoke.

"I'm sorry Alteo," she said quietly.

"Well I'm glad you remembered my name after all this time" I laughed. "I still need an answer though love, don't have me waiting too long, I've already waited 6 months to hear what happened"

"I-I-Umm something came up and I couldn't make it" she lied. I raised an eyebrow but decided to just go along with her answer.

"Okay if you say so and to answer your question this is my place, make yourself at home. This section is usually limited to guests, it's my personal space, but you are welcome whenever. You must be hungry. I'll have one of the cooks prepare you something."

Her mouth opened wide in shock. What did I say that was so shocking?

"What do you want to eat, let me know."

"No, it's okay, I'm not hungry, I ate earlier, I was just curious what was in the fridge."

"What do you want to eat" I asked starting to get annoyed.

"Nothing, I'm okay, I'm heading back to the room, plus it's 2 in the morning I don't want you waking up your cooks to make something for me" she said stepping away.

"Is that what it's about?" I called after her. She continued walking away. I walked around her and stood in front stopping her. I tilted my head in the direction of the kitchen and walked over there, she picked up quickly because she followed.

"I pay my cooks well so I doubt they would mind making you something now but since that's bothering you, I'll make you something myself ."

It's hard to believe I was offering to cook for her. I haven't even cooked for myself since I was in college 8 years ago. She was making me weak and I couldn't run from it. This was a rare time that I didn't mind feeling this way.

"No, I'm fine, let's just go back to bed" she insisted.

"I mean we can go back to bed" I said winking at her "but I want you to eat first, you didn't allow me to take you to dinner so this will have to be our do-over date".

She laughed and I felt a warmth in my chest start to form. God, she was beautiful.

"Do-over date?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm not the best cook so grilled cheese will have to do"

"Alteo it's fine" she wined. I was losing it all over again from the way how she called my name. She tries to say it with an Albanian accent and it's the sexiest thing I've ever heard.

I cleared my throat as I started to grab the ingredients and the skillet. She came over to me and pulled me away.

"I'll do it, I would feel guilty if I had you cooking for me so early in the morning."

I went behind her and wrapped my arms around her hips. I moved her fluffy hair off her shoulder and rested my head there. I didn't care anymore, her presence pulled me and for once my rapid heartbeat felt like it started to slow down. I let out a breath enjoying this moment between us. I felt myself harden but in this moment it didn't matter. There was something else there, a dependency, a need. I needed her to rescue me from me and the fact that my body was in heat for her was just a plus. I didn't even know that was possible. My fingers digged into her tighter pushing myself closer to her. Her breathing hitched and I knew I affected her too.

"Okay beautiful, but only if you join me tomorrow, I have an event and I want you to be my date."

"But-"

"No buts, either you let me make burnt grilled cheese for you now or you join me tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go with option two" she said laughing.

"Good choice". I left a lingering kiss on her shoulder.

"I'll stay with you until you're done but I just need to go for a couple of minutes. Okay?"

She nodded and continued preparing the sandwich.

"I almost forgot to say thank you Krystal for being there for Filip and Elis."

Instantly she turned around with a shocked expression on her face. She's having a lot of open mouth moments with me, I'm liking this too much. She is probably wondering how I knew her name but I wouldn't be sharing that story unless she tells me why she blew me off for our date. I'm sure she will figure everything out soon since they. More than likely Elis was the one that greeted them when they arrived.

Regardless there had to be some leverage to get the truth out of her.
