Chapter 109 - Desires.

By the time Kyra and Oliver returned to the mainland, it was midnight. 

Instead of landing on the usual spot, he landed on the helipad of the skyscraper where Sofia and he have a flat. 

"See you later." Oliver said as he walked her to her door. 

"Tomorrow morning? How about we go cycling?" Kyra asked. 

Oliver smiled and his happiness is evident in his twinkling eyes. Seeing Kyra take initiative, he could finally feel like he had achieved something. 

"Will you be able to wake up, Ky? It is almost midnight." Oliver asked. 

"I will be fine. It is you who needs rest. Maybe we can go cycling later." Kyra said. 

She has a bad habit of deciding things before asking the other person about their opinion. Her brothers spoiler her a lot that she started to get inconsiderate. 

"I don't sleep much, Kyra. I would be fine with four to five hours of sleep." Oliver said, caressing her hair. 

"We will go at seven in the morning then. You will at least have six hours sleep, " Kyra said. 

Oliver smiled. "As you wish, girlfriend." He whispered in her ear as he moved close to her. 

Kyra gulped. She could feel her cheeks getting warm when he called her girlfriend. The way he said that word is so sexy and husky. 

"Good night. I...I will be going." Kyra said. Her voice stuttered a little because of the close proximity of their bodies. She could literally feel the warmth of his body. 

Speaking of warmth, she remembered that she is wearing Oliver's blazer because of the cold. 

She was about to give it back but Oliver stopped her. 

"If you want your friend to see the hickey and tease you, carry on." he said in a teasing tone. 

With that, her cheeks reached the redness of a ripe tomato. 

She pushed him away and entered the passcode and hurried inside.

Oliver chuckled and walked towards the elevator to go upstairs where he lives. 

"You came! I have almost convinced myself that you are going to spend the whole night with Oliver in some hotel." Sofia who was sitting in the living room said, her voice teasing enough to make Kyra roll her eyes. 

"I am not as fast as you, Sofi." Kyra said but her cheeks started to become red again. 

That cunning man has taken advantage of her!! It is not that she didn't like and in fact, he carried on only after her permission. 

But it is still his fault because he seduced her! 

"Tell me details, hurry!! Where did he take you and what you did all these hours!" Sofia asked as she dragged Kyra to sit beside her. 

"He took me to an island-" before Kyra could continue, Sofia interjected. 

"Island!! Wow!! None of my dates did that for me, hmph!" Sofia said. 

Kyra ignored her friend and told her all the details. Well, not all the details but only till the dance part. Rest of it is..*cough*... private. 

"That's it? Nothing intimate?" Sofia asked, giving a mischievous smile.

"What else do you want, Sofi! Move...move. I need to freshen up" Kyra said as she hurriedly stood up and left to change. 

"Just by seeing her face, I could tell that there is more to the story." Sofia said and looked at the full moon from the glass walls. 

Weather is romantic but here she is, sitting alone. 

--------

After picking pajamas that cover her neck as well, Kyra went to take a quick, warm shower. 

After soaking herself in comforting warm water, she wrapped herself in a towel and walked into the dressing room which is connected to the bathroom. 

Squeezing moisturizer into her hand, she stood in front of the mirror. 

And as soon as she saw a hickey, her already red cheeks reddened more and she was reminded of what happened while they were dancing. 

-----

A few hours ago...

His first kiss landed on the place where her shoulder met her neck. It is not a kiss but more like a light peck. 

Kyra grabbed a handful of his blazer on her fist when she felt his warm lips on her shoulder. 

Her eyelids started to get heavy and she was clearly intoxicated by that warm sensation on her sensitive skin. 

When she felt his warm breath focussed on her neck, she could only cave in and close her eyes. 

"I...I couldn't control myself. Sor..sorry," Oliver said, his breath quick and shallow. It is evident from his stammering that he is trying so hard to control his urges. 

"Do... don't be sorry." Kyra managed to speak. However, her voice has turned sensual and it only tempted Oliver more. 

"You should be careful with your words, Kyra." Oliver said, stammering a little as he saw into her eyes. 

Seeing into her eyes is the biggest mistake he made. They are filled with passion and it proactived him more. 

And, when Kyra looked into his blue eyes that are radiating with desire, she could tell how hard he is trying to stop himself from taking advantage of this situation. 

"Why?" she asked bravely. She doesn't know what got into her that made her this brave and provocative. 

Oliver placed his palm on the side of her neck where he had kissed and caressed it a little and that only made Kyra feel more hot inside. 

She could only resist her heavy eyelids and look into his eyes, waiting for him to answer. 

"I don't want to do anything without your consent, Kyra. I will wait till you are ready." Oliver said and he averted his eyes, not able to take it anymore. 

If he had looked into her eyes for one more moment, he is sure he would have lost his self control. He really overestimated himself. 

When Kyra heard his answer, she melted like a puddle of butter. She couldn't deny that she was touched. 

She saw how he is fighting himself to stay in control. It is tough on him yet, he is this considerate. 

If he would have gone with that flow, he would have seduced her enough to have his way with her. He knows that yet, he took the difficult path. 

Why? Because of her. 

Kyra smiled and raised her head and left a peck on his lips. 

"I think I wouldn't mind this." she said, placing her palm on his cheek. 

"Sure?", Oliver asked, holding on to the last thread of his self control from shredding. 

Kyra nodded her head and before she could say anything his lips attacked her lips. 

-------

Present. 

"When did I become this brave?" Kyra asked herself as she applied moisturizer on the tiny hickey Oliver left at her neck. 

They didn't do anything more than hugging and kissing. 

She is not ready for anything more than that and Oliver knows it. He is already surprised that she didn't say no to kissing. 

He has kissed her on her forehead and she kissed him once on his cheek but they are gestures they made to show support and comfort each other. 

They are not filled with desire unlike this. 

"Did I rush a bit? Oliver looked surprised. Maybe he didn't expect me to give him a green signal to kiss." Kyra thought. 

"I liked it and I kissed him because I felt like it's right. I did it with my heart, so I don't feel guilty." she told herself, smiling at herself. 

This date is something she would never forget in this life. Every moment of it is precious and she enjoyed every second of it. 

After tonight's date, she felt more connected to Oliver. 

"I did the right thing by confessing my feelings to him. I am sure that our dating journey will leave many memorable moments to cherish later." she thought and got dressed. 

After that she drank warm milk Sofia prepared for her and after that both the best friends went to sleep after chatting for a little. 

---------

Meanwhile, at Oliver's side. 

After returning to his penthouse he is all smiles. He couldn't help but touch his lips again and again. 

He can't tell how happy he is. It is simply indescribable. 

He didn't expect Kyra to take initiative in kissing him on his lips. When he kissed her neck, he was so engrossed and enthralled that he did it before he could register what happened. 

He panicked that Kyra might misunderstand him. 

"She is not as complicated as I expected. Maybe I can really heal her scars and give her a happy life." he thought. 

When Kyra warned him this morning about herself, he was indeed scared. He was scared that he would leave another layer of scars and bad memories for her. 

Besides that, his break up with his first girlfriend did leave him with bad experiences and scars that are yet to fade. 

He knows that he has his fair amount of wrong doings which led them to break up. What if he makes the same mistakes and hurts Kyra? 

He would never forgive himself if he did that. 

But at the same time, he didn't want to give up his feelings for Kyra.. He is sure that she is the one for him because he never felt emotions as strong as now ever before.
