When we ran away from the party, Daniel didn't stop the car until we reached his penthouse building.

"You're mad Daniel. You created chaos over there and flew away. This is going to be big news tomorrow." I exclaimed when we entered his penthouse. He shrugged his shoulders and without saying anything he started walking upstairs towards his room.

"You know, you should have at least alerted me," I said as I made my way behind him. He halted his steps outside the door of his room and turned to face me.

"Why? Didn't you like the surprise?" He asked.

"I...I like it but... It came as a shock to me. I wasn't prepared," I mumbled.

"That's why I didn't alert you. I wanted to surprise you in the best way possible and that is why I proposed to you in front of everyone." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him. "And everyone should know that we're together, this will remind other men that you're off-limits." He said huskily as he nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck which made me shiver in pleasure.

I pushed him away and backed him against the door of his room. A sudden surprise surfaced on his face. I smirked wickedly and grabbed the collars of his shirt. "If I'm off-limits for other men...then you are off-limits for other women too."

I jerked him closer by pulling his collars. "You may have pulled a stunt by entertaining those women in front of me but remember... I won't spare you if you do it again." I whispered, almost touching my lips with his.

He smirked deviously and grabbed the back of my head. "Believe me when I say I don't want to be spared by you." He whispered and turned me in a swift motion so that now my back was against the door and he claimed my lips for a kiss.

I snaked my hands around his neck and responded to his kiss. His one hand gripped my waist to keep me steady and another hand fumbled with the knob of the door. He opened the door and in another second I was backed against the door inside the room, our lips still fused together. The long, soft, and teasing kiss left me breathless.

I moaned louder as he slid his hand under the gown from the slit. He pulled my lower region closer to him and a pleasuring groan left his throat. I felt his aroused self and moaned into his mouth. After a while, he let go of my lips but didn't take his hand away from under my dress.

I groaned as I didn't want him to stop and pulled him closer to kiss him again but he grabbed my hands, stopping me from doing anything.

"Eloise, if you try to take it any further, I won't be able to stop myself." He said breathlessly.

"I never said I want you to stop," I whispered. I was blinded by desire. I pulled him closer and crashed my lips against his again.

"You sure you want this?" He said between the kiss. I broke the kiss and looked at him. I wanted this but there was one thing he needed to know before anything starts.

"Yes, I want this but..." I gulped.

"But?"

"I haven't done this before." I voiced out. His eyes went wide in shock and he took a step back.

"W..what? You haven't... Don't get me wrong but... You had a boyfriend, right? Then —"

"Don't you dare complete your sentence." I scoffed, pointing a finger at him. I was suddenly irritated, "I had a boyfriend, yes, but this doesn't mean I've given myself to him. Before I could take things any further, he showed his true colors." I glared at him.

"There are a lot of women who wait for the right time and the right one to wholeheartedly agree to give away the precious thing they have. We're not like men who pounce on every woman whenever they find the opportunity. I too waited for the special one." I lectured him.

"I'm sorry." He said guiltily, lowering his head then he looked up. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. It's just that...it surprised me. I won't say that I haven't done it before but I swear to you that I never took advantage of any woman, I respect women. And I swear I won't ever disrespect you will never betray you." He said with sincerity. No playfulness, no jolliness, just pure sincerity.

Oh goodness, how can anyone be so sweet? Now I feel bad for almost shouting at him. He wasn't wrong, I know it would have surprised him.

"I'm a fool, I ruined the mood." He turned his back to me and ran his fingers through his hair. I smiled and hugged him from behind.

"That's why I chose you as my special one," I mumbled. I turned him around and cupped his sulking face. "Your honesty, your good faith, and loyalty attracted me to you." I gave him an encouraging smile. He smiled and kissed my palm.

"Thank you for choosing me as your special one." He whispered. I kissed his cheek.

"One more thing...Why are you so sweet?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Umm...maybe because I eat extra sugar?"

I laughed at his witty remark. "You are really a unique piece." I gave him a quick kiss.

"You are mine, Daniel. I won't ever let you go." I announced.

"Me neither because you are mine too." He grinned and lifted me in bridal style and placed me on the bed. He stood on his knees on the bed and eyed my left leg which was coming out of the slit.

"Your leg gave me a hard time and tortured me during the party. Now, I'm gonna take my revenge." He brushed his fingers on my thigh and I visibly shuddered under his feathery touch. He bent and left an open-mouthed kiss on my thigh. I moaned and my leg buckled involuntarily. He gripped my leg to make it steady and tortured my leg with wet kisses.

His mouth started traveling up my thigh, I tried to bend my knee to ease the itch but he didn't let me. "Stop, my revenge isn't over yet." He ordered huskily. Oh, goodness, what does he want?

My poor left leg. I don't know if I would be able to feel it after his torture.

I moaned and whimpered, clutching the bedsheet tightly. I wanted his attention on my right leg too but he was hell-bent to torture my left leg. When he satisfied his thirst for revenge, he came up and kissed my lips. His lips then traveled down my neck.

"Your gown needs to come off." He groaned and pulled away. I sit up on the bed and he effortlessly removed my gown. I blushed and lowered my eyes. He's the first man who saw me without clothes. He placed a finger under my chin and raised my head.

"You're beautiful, Eloi, and I feel honored that I'm the first one to see this perfect body of yours." He whispered, pinning his eyes with mine. I was losing myself to the desire that was shimmering in his eyes.

"Let me cherish and worship your body." He softly pushed my body back on the bed and was about to hover me but I stopped him by placing my hand on his chest.

"Your clothes need to come off too." I bit my lower lip. He smirked and stood up from the bed and started shedding his clothes at a very slow pace, not breaking eye contact. I gulped when he was left only in his boxers. I didn't dare to look down, I kept my eyes trained on his toned chest.

"Happy?" He smirked evilly as he stretched his hands out, displaying his toned body. Heat crawled up my face which I tried to hide by lowering my head. He came and hovered over me, balancing himself on his upper arms. I bit my lip and touched his bare chest and for the first time, a new sensation flowed in my body. He grunted and leaning down, he crashed his lips on mine. I moaned softly when he nibbled my neck, then moved to my collar bones and nibbled there.

"So sweet." He rasped.

I took him off guard by flipping him on his back and then I nibbled his neck in slow and sensual motions. He growled and gripped my waist and in another swift movement, I was again lying on my back.

"I love this controlling side of yours." He said, trailing his index finger on the side of my face and then grasped my chin between his thumb and index finger and raised it up. "But tonight is not about me, it's about you."

"Not just me, it's about us," I whispered, lacing my fingers in his hair.

He smirked. "Right, about us. But tonight, for me, your pleasure matters a lot as I want to make your first time, your best time." He kissed the corner of my mouth.

I smiled and pulled him in a hungry kiss. His skillful hands worked on my body and in the blink of an eye, the remaining piece of clothing was taken off from my body.

"Heaven." He whispered, admiring every inch of me. He then went down on me and pleasured me and took me high on ecstasy. My moans and cries went louder as I felt myself coming to the edge. His groans and moans of desire proved to me that he was loving it too and this intensified my passion. I felt dizzy and tingles were shooting at a quick pace on my skin.

He came up and smirked. "The trial of pleasure is over. Ready for gratification?" Biting my lower lip, I nodded my head with confidence.

Then we slipped into the intimacy where the new poetry was written with the brush of the skins where, pleasure, desire, anticipation, ecstasy, and euphoria became the rhymes of the poetry. The rhythm of the sexy music played by our skin made us dance all night.

A slow smile broke on my lips the moment my eyes flickered open. Eloise was sleeping soundly, her face was turned away from me while she was lying straight on her back. I placed my head on my palm as I balanced myself on one hand and admired the sleeping beauty. I brushed away the hair from her neck and my eyes landed on the marks I left there.

I loved every second of what happened last night. I loved how she tried to gain control. Though control was in my hands, still, I made sure she knows that I will give her many chances all our lives to dominate, hickeys on my neck are the proof of that. Last night was completely for her. I hope I gave her the best time of life.

I had made her mine and will keep her mine all my life because I love her. Yes, I love her and I realized this the day we talked about my family. But I didn't want to force her into anything that's why I didn't confess it. But now I will.

I caressed the side of her face with my finger and leaned down to kiss her forehead. "I love you, Eloise," I whispered.

She stirred, I thought she was going to wake up but she curled herself into a ball and continued to sleep. I chuckled and shook my head...She and her sleeping positions.

I glanced over my shoulder to look at the time. The clock indicated 5:00 am. It was still early to wake her up, considering that she slept late. I placed another kiss on her forehead and slipped out of the bed. I took a quick shower and changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt. I then called my chef early to cook breakfast for both of us. I too remained in the kitchen to cook at least one dish for her. My chef helped me in doing so. When the breakfast was ready, after seeing off my chef I went into my room.

I found her still in bed, sleeping peacefully. I went to my closet and picked up my shirt from the hanger and came back to the room. I placed the shirt on the edge of the bed and sat beside her sleeping form.

"Wake up, love," I said as I ruffled her hair. She stirred and tried to turn away but I held her waist which was covered by the duvet.

"Wake up, Eloi," I said a bit louder. She first moaned and then stretched her hands above her head and yawned, her eyes still closed. "What time is it?" She mumbled sleepily.

"It's already eight in the morning," I said. Her eyes opened wide, she roamed her eyes in the room and then a blush slowly crept on her face. She slowly sat up on the bed, making sure her body was covered with the duvet.

"G..good morning." She stuttered, lowering her head. I cupped her face and pulled her lips in a chaste kiss.

"This is what I call a good morning." I grinned and she blushed. "Did you sleep well?" I asked mischievously. She hesitantly nodded her head. I smiled and pulled her in a hug. She placed her head on my shoulder and snaked her arms around my torso.

"You okay?" I mumbled, stroking her hair. She nodded her head against my shoulder. "I'm fine."

I pulled away and smirked. I wanted to tease her. "You know, I took a quick shower early in the morning so that later I can take a long bath with you." I tried to pull the duvet away from her but she swatted my hand.

"You mister will not get any of your demand fulfilled this morning. You had enough of everything last night." She narrowed her eyes at me. Her blush disappeared in no time. No worries, I'll bring it back.

"What if I say I want to fulfill your demands this morning? You wanted control last night, right?" I said huskily, pinning my eyes with her. My insides danced in victory when her blush returned. I went closer to her. "You can have all the control over me, what say?" I distracted her by landing my lips on hers and slowly I peeled the blanket off of her.

"Daniel, I'm tired and I'm hungry." She said against my lips. I smiled into the kiss and without letting go of her lips, I picked up my shirt.

"I know," I said as I pulled away. "That's why I'm dressing you up so you can head down and have your tummy full." I slipped my shirt on her. "I'm making sure you wear my shirt as you always escape from this." I buttoned up the shirt.

"So what do you want to eat?" Breakfast was prepared, still, I asked.

"Anything you like." Came her reply.

"Woah! That's new! Many things have changed overnight." I said in surprise. She hit me with a pillow which made me laugh.

"Now come on, brush your teeth till then I'll serve breakfast for you," I said as I stood up from the bed.

"Serve breakfast? You have already ordered?" She inquired.

I shook my head stiffly, "Nope, I did the cooking."

"Daniel." She shrieked. "I'm not up for experiments right now. I'm famished."

"You wounded me, Eloi," I said dramatically putting my hand on my heart.

"You can't be wounded when you're well aware that you can't cook."

"Fair point."

"Daniel" She whined.

"Okay, okay, stop whining. I called my chef early to cook for us. Happy? But I may or may not have prepared something to eat by myself." I said and walked out of the room.

After a while, she came into the kitchen. I moved my eyes from her head to toe and gulped in anticipation. I mentally shook my head... This is not the time Daniel. She is hungry...for food so feed her with food.

"Isn't it too much?" She said, eyeing the breakfast served for her. I looked at the pancakes, egg rolls, vegetable sandwiches, croissants, and coffee.

I then moved closer to her. "Considering that you must be drained after out intense exercise last night, I asked my chef to cook extra," I whispered in her ear. She bit her lower lip to hold back her smile. I tugged her wrist and made her sit in a chair.

"First have the sandwich. This is something I prepared with a lot of effort." I said, placing a plain vegetable sandwich on her plate.

"What effort you put in it?" She raised her eyebrows to mock me.

"I cut the vegetables and placed them between the two slices of bread... with perfection. Presentation matters, right?" I winked at her, showing my full set of teeth. She rolled her eyes and I playfully narrowed my eyes at her...as if she knows how to cook.

After we were done with our breakfast she stood up, taking an empty plate in her hands, and placed them in the sink.

"I think I should leave. It's already very late." She mumbled as she moved past my chair but I grabbed her hand and pulled her on my lap.

"Daniel, what are you doing?"

"Move in with me," I said, looking straight into her eyes.

"Dan—" I cut in between

"I can't see you away from me. I want you this close to me." I tightened my arm around her waist. "I want to cuddle you to sleep every night. It would be a hassle for both of us if I pick you up and drop you at your apartment every single day." I mumbled.

"Daniel but moving in needs arrangements. You know about my hectic schedules... And Evan, he is my manager, I need to be with him for work and Trish, she's a makeup artist... How will I manage everything — I can't just agree with this like that." She explained.

"You don't have to worry about anything. You just have to pack your clothes — No, wait, you don't have to bring anything. I'll buy everything for you. I will even arrange an apartment in this building for Trish and Evan or I'll arrange a car for them so that they'll be at your call 24/7." I coaxed, lacing my fingers in her long hair.

"I can buy everything by myself, you don't have to do that." She raised her voice a little then huffed. "I too want to be with you. Okay, give me a day or two to arrange everything." She smiled.

"Thank you." I pecked her lips.

"Now go get ready. Before I drop you at your place, I want to take you somewhere." I mumbled.

"Where?" She asked in confusion.

"A place that is close to my heart."
