A Night Of Passion

Lucian exit the taxi and made his way towards his estate, he walked around tipsily stumbling here and there to balance himself.

He was drunk and totally out of his mind, seeking for an outlet to vent.

He had came back to New York with a keen and excited heart, a finally peaceful mind and a free soul ready to take the biggest step of his life, to propose to her, to the one who owns his heart and whom he loved dearly.

She was his guardian angel,the one whose existence cheered him on, she was his muse and biggest motivation.

But what happened was of a stark constract to the several scenarios he had imagined and expected , he had prepared everything for the proposal knowing she'll be attending the anniversary party.

He headed there happily then right there at the entrance, he heared the news that shook his whole being, that made his world collapse he had never ever felt so useless and abandoned.

He entered a nearby bar without Mark, his friend and also personal assistant and got drunk drowning his sorrows then under Eddie's careful planning and also under the influence of alcohol both he and Mia spent the night together.

What was even more worse was the next morning, he felt shattered knowing how she loved Leonard unwaveringly, which made him felt even more worse.

Then as day passes by, witnessing her unwavering affection and attention for Leonard, he felt worthless only burying the pain by working endlessly with no care in the world.

But as the sequence of events transpired consequentially he was even more totally broken and shattered not wanting to reveal his vulnerability he always worked endlessly but now he could no longer pretend everything was alright, his emotions had been pulled to the wall he badly needed to vent so he headed to the pub and drank away his sorrows.

Mia sat on the sofa nervously clutching the sexy and almost transparent lingerie around herself, her face flushed with a tinge of embarrassment.

She couldn't believe she would also one day resort to this, resort to selling her body to earn someone's favour. she sat there in the silence awaiting his arrival in the dimly lit room lost in thought her expression as tho she was awaiting a death sentence.

It was indeed as Emily had said, Lucian had always longed and yearned for her, the house was filled with paintings of her and several other memorable object all about her, growing up she had thought of him and seen him as a caring, doting and protective brother but she never imagined that he had started harbouring feelings for her back then.

But either way she was ready to do this.

Lucian grabbed the door handle tipsily and opened it groping his tie trying to get rid of it as he entered, he was still unable to loosen it even after several attempts his legs hit the neat of table beside the couch and he lost his balance stumbling over.

The noise of the clanking table jolted Mia out of her revire, she looked up to see Lucian stumbling over surprised at how untidy and disheveled he looked this version of him was unlike the noble and handsome man she had always known without any hesitation she rushed over to his aid and they both fell onto the cushion by the side.

She gasped in pain as his heavy weight landed on her his whole weight pressing on her, glancing up she saw how surprised he looked his eyes as wide as a walnut now she could clearly see his distinctive feature and couldn't help but stare their breath mingling in the silent room, the atmosphere getting increasingly ambiguous.

"Mia!",he gasped delirious with alcohol as he stared at the surreal scene before him, his long fingers gently caressing her fair cheeks.

No matter how toughhe looked he was used to imagining different scenarios like this to be able to get a good night sleep but somehow she looked so real tonight.

As his hands gently caress her features, he gasped in shock as the light suddenly dawned on him this wasn't another fragments of his imagination but rather reality.

"Mia",he called sensing the warm body beneath him he stood up immediately shock and suprise rippling through his body.

"It's me",Mia also stood up pulling down the lingerie which was now just covering her bottom nervously.

"How did you get in here, what are you doing here and what is the meaning of all these?", Lucian asked his expression hardening into a cold stance as soon as he saw what she was wearing.

"Hmm", Mia began nervously after mustering enough courage. "I'm here because. ."she couldn't help but stammer.

"Oh right, this is just a dream",Lucian cackled clutching his head which was searing with endless pain.

"How. . How can this even be real it's just an imagination as usual, a mere flicker of my imagination. . She must be somewhere so loved up with Leonard while I'm here being pitiful.

Looking at his hurt expression she felt bitter and without any hesitation she pulled him closer to her and they both fell on the sofa.
