Chapter 90 - One Night Stand

"Mhmm...!" A protesting moan escaped Zoey's lips as he bit her lower lip gently. Alas, he didn't budge but Zoey felt the corner of his lips curl into a smirk. 

The next second, she was carried to the private lounge — where the man came from. Yet, he didn't break the kiss. 

Zoey thought she was crazy. Crazy for being intimate to a man she didn't know. But this craziness was what she needed. 

This man who was holding her waist, leading her somewhere she didn't know, touching her body like it was his... it wasn't Ezekiel Tang. It was not the man that Zoey preserved her chastity for. However, Zoey was prepared to give everything to this stranger. 

If she gave her precious heart to someone not deserving, Zoey couldn't care less if some stranger took her body. All she wanted was to forget him, even if it means giving her all to the devil. 

This was the last thing she would do something for him. Yes, it was an immature and rash decision but the pain in her heart was too much to handle. Zoey was afraid what she would do if she was left alone tonight. 

Again, the stranger bit her lower lip causing her to produce another protesting moan. But that gentle bite brought her back to reality. 

Slowly, the man she never met, the stranger who she knew nothing about retracted his lips away from her. He stared down at her, his pair of russet eyes glinted, seemingly displeased about something. 

Right now, Zoey, with her current state, although her vision was blur, she could feel the intense and dissatisfied eyes gazing at her. In her perspective, this stranger was no ordinary man; he was a beast that was set loose. 

The next second, she felt his gentle hand wiped the tears on the corner of her eyes. Enabling her to see a bit clearer. She saw him slightly open his mouth, as if wanting to say something. But he didn't. Instead, he placed a light peck on her eyes, then another one to her nose, then back to her lips. 

This small sweet gesture of the stranger, it oddly made the side of her lips to smile weakly. 'Thank you,' her heart whispered, getting the gist of the unspoken words he wanted to say. They may not know each other, but tonight, the man got closer to her than anybody else.

After that, Zoey forgot the agony of her heart. She succumbed to the pleasure caused by the stranger. Although she didn't expect losing her chastity inside a private lounge, doing the deed on a large couch with a stranger, it didn't feel that horrible. 

Aside from the initial pain of her flesh being ripped apart, what came after was pure pleasure. He made her forget, put a pause on her aching heart, and forced her mind to love him for the night. 

This stranger dragged her to the world where there's only the two of them. She felt it, in her heart, that she was the only woman who could fulfill him. She could feel his desire for her. A desire that she never truly felt from Ezekiel Tang.

With his every caressed, every shared moan, every move of their collided body in the same rhythm, it was more overwhelming than her pain. Zoey knew that none of this would last. But at least, at that moment, these fleeting emotions she felt were genuine.

He was still aggressive, but with a tinge of gentleness that soothe the soreness of her body. More than that, he was able to get a hold of her vulnerable heart and put some pieces together for her to keep going. 

How strange that a person whom she knew nothing about, a man with no memory to share with could embrace her ugly pain. 

*****

Zoey lost count of how long and how many rounds they did the deed. But what she was certain was his energy was unlimited. Hence, when Zoey woke up in the middle of the night, she could feel her entire body — especially her lower region ache. 

Gritting her teeth, Zoey turned her head to the topless man embracing her in his arms. Her eyes widened as memories of the night surged and filled her mind with mind-boggling activities. 

'Sh*t! Zoey! You lost your mind!' She screamed internally, wanting to slap herself. Surely, waking up next to a topless stranger while a blazer covered her naked body was mind boggling. Even the crazy Zoey couldn't escape the shock. 

Since they fell asleep in the couch, there was hardly enough space for two person laying on it. Still, with their position, they managed not to fall. 

Zoey stared at him for a while, somehow relieved she didn't end up messing around with a weird fellow. Regardless, he's still a stranger. 

Biting her lower lip, she slowly lifted his arm that was over her waist. She did it slowly but surely so not to wake him up. 

'Please don't wake up, don't wake up." She repeated internally. Fortunately, he didn't wake up until Zoey flexibly slide away from the couch. 

Zoey then immediately picked up her clothes and put them on. After dressing herself as fast as she could, Zoey picked up the blazer that she used as her cover for the night. She was certain it was the man who covered her because she directly slept after that last intense round.

Glancing at his sleeping figure, Zoey pursed her lips together. 'We'll probably never see again.' She thought, covering his naked top with the blazer suit. 'But... if ever we meet again, I'll treat you better.'

Despite the slight dizziness from the alcohol, how the man shook her world, and despite the soreness of her lower region, not to mention the hickeys on different parts of her body, Zoey left the establishment like a mess. 

"One-night stands are just the worst." Zoey mumbled as she headed home.

PRESENT TIME

"I guess the world is not that vast as they say, huh?" Zoey whispered, briefly chuckling as that unforgettable memory played back in her mind. 

"Because... you found me, again." She added, recalling how he appeared the second time in the most unexpected way. 

Perhaps it wasn't unexpected because the first time, he just appeared out of nowhere, looking helpless. Reminds her of their second encounter. Yet, instead of running away just like the first time, Zoey kept him around. Although he couldn't remember that night.

"Matthew Xi..." she whispered, her lips stretched into a grin as the man she was dating currently and the stranger that night showed two different sides of him.. She was thrilled to know more about him.
