Chapter 27

" I'm only staying with you for the night. Then I'll go somewhere else. " 

Because I don't intend to be in his company for longer than I have to. I'll be constantly glancing over my shoulder to see whether he's standing spookily behind me. 

" When you say ' with me ' , are you referring to my house or my bed? " he asks and I huff out a breath. He's impossible to deal with. And if I were more confident then I would have asked him to stop with his advances straight forwardly. But despite how hard I try, I just can't. I don't have it tin me. 

" You're most welcome to both. And no, you're not going anywhere any time soon. Trust me, " 

He sounds so arrogant. And he seems so sure about everything he's saying that I just can't help but believe him myself. And anyways, where would I go if I leave here. I only had enough to pay for three nights at the motel while I searched for a job. And I haven't found one yet. 

The elevator stops and the doors open up to reveal what I think is a house. A house like none I've ever seen before. It's grand! 

Black and white décor. He steps out and I follow him, my attention on the luxurious space in front of me. I can see a piano on a slightly raised podium at the corner right next to the floor to ceiling windows. 

Black leather couches in the living area and a black coffee table. It's industrial, yet sophisticated. And the floor makes me feel as if I'm walking on air. It's heavenly, all white and exceedingly clean. I can't catch hint of even the tiniest speck of dust. 

" Right this way, " he says as he leads me away and to the left. We pass the kitchen and I barely have time to peep inside. Kitchens are my most favorite rooms of any house. And judging by just how great his house his, I can't wait to see what his looks like. 

We stop next to a door and he unlocks it. Then he asks me to follow him when I remain on the doorstep. It's huge. It's... too huge. 

Painted a relaxing turquoise color. And the massive bed seems to call to me, just asking to jump on. 

" Well, this will be your room for the indefinite amount of time you'll be staying here, "

He went and placed my briefcase next to the bed. Turning to me afterwards with that smile still perfectly intact. I shifted from foot to foot. There's something about being alone with him that makes me wary. Especially when I catch a glint of the somewhat hungry look in his eyes. 

It reminds me of a predator on the hunt. Which isn't comforting especially when I know that I'm the prey he's trying to catch. 

" It's really nice, " I say as I look around. Intent on looking at anything else other than him. Then he walks towards me and I want to jump out of my skin and possibly run. 

" I'm glad you like it. If you need anything, my room's at the farthest end of the hallway. "

" Where's Arden? "

He stops when he's a couple of steps away. And I can see that his smile is slowly starting to sleep away. 

" Why do you ask? "

I shrug. Trying to figure out what he could be thinking. But he's so unreadable. 

" No reason, I just thought I'd say hi. "

" Do you like him? "

I don't understand what he means by that. But it sure does seem like he's a little bit aggravated.

" Of course I do. He's really nice. "

" Just nice... or is there more to it? "

Where is this coming from. He doesn't look jealous, he looks arrogant. But he sounds like he might be. 

" He's my friend, that's all, "

I wish I wouldn't have clarified that. He has no right to just question me like that. But my answer seems to please him since that cocky smile of his returns. And although I would never admit it out loud, it's a nice smile. It makes his features look distinguished and overwhelmingly polished. 

" Good, because let me tell you something sweetheart,.. " he walks over to where I am, standing closely next to me. The he leans in to my ear and bites my lobe. I yelp at the unexpected action. 

" You should only have eyes for me! " he said before walking out. Stopping briefly at the door to tell me that he'll call me for lunch. 

And I'm left wondering what I had just gotten myself into. But something tells me that there's absolutely no way out. Taking off my jacket, I walk to the bed and sit down. It's even more comfortable than I expected. So I lie on my back and breathe in, long and hard. And when I close my eyes, all I see is him and his stupid smile. 

And I know for certain that I'm most likely done for!

Gabriel's POV 

I was passing by Arden's room on my way to mine when I heard noises coming from inside. So I just had to walk over to his door and try to ascertain that the source was. 

And it took less than a second for the realization to dawn on me. I smiled, shaking my head. Deciding to let him go on with his leisurely activities. But then that little highly pervated and insanely uncaring part of me urged me to do something else. 

I just loved that part of myself. It was so riveting! 

So I walked back to Layla's room and went in. She was lying on the bed when I did, and after the whole ' her being frightened by my presence ' routine, I walked over and held her arm. 

" You know, I was halfway to my room when I recalled that you had inquired about Arden. " I said as I led her out. I know that what I'm doing is wrong on so many ethical bases. 

But that is precisely what makes it so exhilarating. 

" Where are we going? " 

" To find him. I do miss him as well, " 

I led her past the living area and to the other side of the penthouse where mine and Arden's rooms were located. And as soon as we got to his door, I stopped and turned to Layla. She looked a bit unsure, especially when she heard the noises coming from inside the room. And I couldn't wait to see her reaction once we got in. 

Hers and Arden's both. 

Reaching for the knob, I unlocked the door and walked in. A firm grip on Layla's arm to ensure that she didn't miss a thing. And once we got in, the only thing I heard was her shocked gasp. 

Arden didn't even hear us. And neither did the two naked girls in the bed with him. One was Hungrily sucking his cock while the other was riding his face. The room smelt like hormones. Or a collage dormitory. 

To be honest, I had earnestly expected Layla to turn and leave the instant she realised what exactly was transpiring in there. Or to turn around. Or, in the very least, to close her eyes and continuously recite the Hail Mary. Asking to be purified of the sinful sight she had just seen. 

But no. 

She did none of those things, instead, my sweet little innocent Layla stared at the bed with unblinking eyes. A shocked look on her face, her lips parted slightly as I watched. And her breathing caught. She seemed restless, and there was something in her eyes as she watched the ongoing threesome, and as she listened to the moans and sounds of pleasure they all made. 

It was a look that layered between shock, curiosity..... and need. 

Yes, her skin turned pink and it wasn't because she was blushing. And when I looked down I saw her fist her small hands as tightly as she could. 

I looked ahead, watched as Arden fisted his hand into one of the girl's hair and urged her to suck him faster, as he thrust his cock in and out of her mouth with utterly no mercy. And the one that had been riding his face went down to join the other. Taking turns to stroke his cock ,their eyes glued to his as they used them to express the ultimate depth of their lust.

Layla sucked in a breath. And I turned to her once more. 

She liked watching them, it was very obvious to me. The scene was affecting her somehow and the effect was so deep that I could see it written all over her face. And that fact made her more attractive in my eyes. If it were up to me I would have taken her back to her room and done the same things to her. Only more intensely, and for much longer. The entire day if possible. 

" What the fuck!! " Arden's struck and shocked voice interrupted my thoughts and fantasies.
