Serena groggily opened her eyes. She does not know how long she was asleep for but through the open curtains in their drawing room, she could see that it was almost sunset. As she shifted, she felt the unevenness of her pillow. Belatedly, she realized that her head was still lying on Geoffrey's lap. More alert, she quickly rose to a sitting position.

She turned to face him to apologize but saw that his eyes were closed. Was he unconscious? She scooted closer. As she took closer inspection, she took note of his dark ebony hair in direct contrast to his pale skin, his thin red lips, high cheek bones, high bridged nose, and smooth skin. She knew that Geoffrey was handsome, but never has she taken the time to appreciate it.

​​

Geoffrey could feel Serena staring at him and he wondered what was she thinking of? When she did not do anything other than stare, he placed his hand at the back of her head to pull her in for a kiss.

Serena pushed away to cover her mouth.

Geoffrey looked at her and furrowed his brows.

"I just woke up." She explained.

Geoffrey chuckled understanding what she meant. Looking at the table in front of them, he saw a crystal container with rock candies inside. He opened it, then took one to eat. After, he took another and hovered it near Serena's mouth.

Serena wanted to take it by hand but knowing what he meant, she opened her mouth.

Geoffrey saw her complying, but instead of just feeding her the candy, he took the opportunity to kiss her. His tongue entering her mouth, passing the mint flavored candy inside.

Serena could do nothing more than blush. She realized that Geoffrey was a dominant kind of lover. Very unlike Charlton who would always ask for permission and see if she's comfortable about something first. Gods, what was she doing? Charlton. She needs to keep her mind straight. When he stopped kissing her to take in some air, she pulled away from him placing some distance between them.

Panting slightly, she said, "It's getting late Geoffrey. I think it's time we call it a day. Thank you for all these…" She did not want him to misinterpret her, nor did she want to mess things up between herself and Charlton.

Geoffrey has no plans of listening. He was not done with her. "You're already driving me away?" he asked leaning forward as he caressed her cheek, his eyes meeting hers as if trying to convey his pain with the mere thought that she did not want him there.

Serena felt her heart pounding in her chest. Why? Why was she feeling this way now when she never felt anything other than friendship and guilt for Geoffrey in the past 3 years? She tried to swallow the imaginary lump on her throat. "This… this is not…"

"Appropriate?" Geoffrey supplemented as his hand trailed from her face to her collarbones.

Serena felt his gentle caress and just like the last time, it drove her to the brink. She could not understand why, how, and when it began, but his touch floods her with desire, want, need even. It impels her to become weak and powerless. Still, she answered albeit in the breathy voice aching to a moan, "Yes, that."

Geoffrey smirked. She wanted him. He knew she wanted him. So, he kissed her again. His tongue entering her mouth, his left hand fondling her left breast, his right supporting the back of her head as he gently laid her again on the sofa.

Serena felt him do all those to her and her mind became completely clouded. She could no longer think, but just feel. She wanted him. She wanted him so much. So, while his tongue explored her mouth, she reached hers out, and this time, their tongues tangled as she kissed him back.

Geoffrey felt her respond and he felt his own excitement hit the roof. Not even minding that it was still daylight, that Leonard was in the mansion, or even considering anyone entering the door that instance, his hand reached for the hem of her dress. Climbing up, he felt her smooth legs until he reached her middle. Blocked by her underwear, he pushed it sideways so that he can access her apex. She was wet. Very wet. He rubbed her clit. Then, he used his finger to enter her folds.

Serena moaned. Her eyes in slits, seeing but unseeing as she wrapped her arms around his torso. "Ah…"

Geoffrey knowing that she was getting louder used his mouth to cover hers as his fingers continued to go in and out of her, circling, moving up and down to pleasure her. When he felt that she was nearing her peak, he stopped. He looked at her panting, chest heaving with need.

Serena was lost. Why did he stop? No, she needed her release. She would do anything to get her release. "Please…" she whispered.

Geoffrey knew that she was in deep lust. If he takes her now, his plans would be turned into jumbles. However, it was an easy decision for him to make. He wanted her and this time she wanted him. The opportunity might not come as easily next time. Why would he need to follow a straight line? She was his. He also did not want to ask her again what her please was pertaining to. This was his chance. He unbuckled his belt.

Serena did not know what was happening anymore. She just wants to reach her climax. Her body was aching with need. So again, she pleaded, "Please…"

In one swift movement, Geoffrey pushed, and he was inside her.

Serena's eyes widened when she felt something bigger than his fingers go inside her. Her mind suddenly went out of the haze it was under. Gods, what have she done? She… she let another man other than Charlton inside her… and it was her who asked, no, begged for it. But that should only be her second concern, for another more pressing matter came to mind.

She opened her eyes and saw Geoffrey's figure looming in front of her. Then, their eyes met. She was scared and did not know what to do. Did he… did he figure that she was no longer intact?
