The Best Man novel Chapter 47

"Do you want to come in?", he asked, and I was still hesitant of whether to say yes or no, standing there looking like I was experiencing an electric shock in my brain. I felt him pull me inside and closed the door behind me

"I'm almost done", he walked over to the bed to put a golf shirt on.

"Cool, cool", I mumbled with staring down on my hands like they suddenly the most interesting thing in the world, and he turned to look at me

"Are you okay?", he quirked up an eyebrow. "You look nervous"

"Not nervous at all", I coughed out. "Why would I be nervous?"

"You look a little pale and shaky", he walked towards me and ran his hands down my arms

"Do you want me to take the edge off?", a wry smile appeared on his face, his eyes travelling up and down my body and I couldn't tell whether he was serious or playing, so I just laughed it off while giving him a gentle pat on his shoulder

"I didn't come here for that"

"Are you sure?", he quirked up an eyebrow again, and I nodded my head

"Why? Don't I look certain enough?", I breathed out a laugh and his eyes landed sharply on mine.

"I can hear your heart pounding in your chest all the way from here", he moved closer to me, "that's how I can tell that you're nervous and indecisive whether you want me or not",

"Too bad you didn't come here for that, right?", a smirk appeared on his face and I blinked in shock while staring at him. I was mesmerized by the hold his eyes kept me under, I even forgot to breath, wanting nothing than to experience the words that escaped from his lips that very second.

"I know it's disappointing, and I don't blame you though. I can imagine how disappointing it is to desperately want something with every fiber of your body only to be left hanging", he added, and I scoffed mockingly from the realisation that he was just teasing me to prove a point, testing my sexual patience.

"We can go", he brushed his body against mine, walking past me and opened the door, gesturing that I can go first, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to walk myself out because my knee caps felt suddenly numb, my mind racing with thoughts

Is that why he invited me in? So that he could weaken me like this only to leave me wanting for more? That was his way of payback?

Wow.
