I hoped I was doing this right. Valeri was smiling at least and became more and more excited as the night went on, and we had a few drinks and such. It took a lot to get either of us drunk, but we were having fun anyway, and it was clear Valeri was happy to finally be out. She really seemed very ignorant about the world, but I also understood why her brother had kept her hidden the way he had. Valeri was truly so beautiful, of course, others had wanted her too, but I hated to think about what she had been through. Both kidnapped and abused like that. It must have been hell.
“I did it!” Valeri said when she got the eight ball to fall down in one of the holes.
Yes, I had let her win, but seeing the smile on her lips made it all worth it.
“That you did,” I said and walked over to her, placing my hands on her hips and pulling her closer to me.
She looked a bit surprised, but I could see the desire in her eyes. She might keep a little distance from me still, but it was clear I was winning her over.
“You let me win,” she said and smiled.
“Don’t know what you mean.”
“Liar!” she whispered.
I just shrugged a little, and slowly leaned closer. I was waiting to see if she would pull away, but she didn’t. I was about to kiss her when I suddenly noticed the voices around us. No, I didn’t want to kiss her here. I wanted her alone.
“How about a walk?” I asked as I pulled back.
“Now?”
“Do you want to play another game?”
She smiled and then shook her head.
“No, let us go,” she said.
We downed our drinks, and then I took her hand, and we walked outside. We put on our jackets and then continued down the road. It was quiet here in the middle of the night, except for where the nightclubs were. Those places were only just turning livelier, but we weren’t going in there. Maybe I would take her some other time, letting her experience what that was like, but right now I was just enjoying walking around with her like this, her warm hand in mine.
“So, how does your first night of freedom feel like?” I asked.
“Actually, it is my second one.”
I looked at her confused, and Valeri smiled.
“The first night was the party at your house,” she said.
I chuckled and nodded.
“Ah, of course.”
“But,” she said. “I love it.”
“It’s not quite over yet,” I said and stopped before I turned her to me.
She looked at me surprised, but I didn’t really give her any time to think before I pressed my lips to hers and pushed her up against the wall behind her, as my mouth devoured hers. She gasped surprised, and I let my tongue slip inside, finding hers. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and pulled me even closer, wanting more of me, and I loved it. I loved feeling her take charge. I wanted to make sure she felt in control of this. I bet she hadn’t tried feeling like that before.
“Do you believe me yet?” I whispered as I pulled back a little.
“Believe you?” she asked, looking at my lips still.
“That we are mates?”
She smiled a little, and then pulled me close for a slow and sensual kiss, her lips just slowly moving over mine, and the feeling of them sent a warmth through me that just went straight to my cock, slowly hardening it. She pulled back shortly after though, making me crave more of her.
“I’m starting to,” she said.
