Taming the Devil (EDITED AND REVISED)

Chapter-45

Call me ASAP.

After texting Michael i feel my stomach growling. I rummage through refrigerator to find nothing.

I huff and order a pizza. I call Aunt to tell her I'm back in Chicago. I'm happy she is enjoying her time of vacation.

I watch television till the time my lunch arrives. I eat and check my cell for any text or call from Michael.

Nothing.

I keep the leftovers in fridge when my phone rings. Michael.

"Hello." I say.

"Hey. Are you alright?" He sounds as if in hurry.

"Uh yeah. What happened? You sound different." I say curiously.

"Yes actually I'm running late for a meeting with one of my business associates." He says.

"Oh okay. Call me later then. I don't want to make you more late." I say not wanting to add to his worries.

He agrees and we hang up. Not having to do anything productive i decide to take a nap.

Something touches my cheeks making me squirm and turn around. Someone chuckles and kisses my neck softly.

I groan faintly and open my eyes. I turn around to come face to face with Michael. Our lips only millimetres apart. Instantly his eyes become dark and pulls me into him locking his lips with mine. I waste no time in roaming my hands through his hair pulling him closer. He groans into kiss and pulls me more into him if it's possible. His hands explore every inch of my body. The desire courses through me like molten lava.

He pulls back before we do anything. The sounds of our harsh breathing fills the silence in the air, Thickening it with sexual tension.

"I won't be able to control myself if we keep on doing that."he says in raspy voice. His voice dampens my core. I blush profusely and envelop him in tight hug.

He chuckles and lays on bed with me on his top.

"How are you here?" I ask after few moments drawing imaginary patterns on his shirt-clad chest.

"I finished my meeting early because i wanted to see you."he says kissing me on crown on my head.

I smile lazily and wrap my arms around his torso.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"Almost evening."

I hum and close my eyes. A wave of serenity and calmeness wash over me making me smile.

The rhythmic beating of his heart almost lull me to sleep again before he gets up and makes me sit on his lap.

I give him a confused glance. "What happened?"

"I cannot stay. Mom called me over because i have to take Dad for his health check up." His says with a hint of sadness.

"It's okay. They are your family. You should go."i say with a small smile.

"Are you sure? Will you be okay alone?" He asks with uncertainty.

I pass him an amused look. "Mike i was literally living alone for alone for five and half years in a foreign country. So i think I'll manage."

He grins and nodes his head. I give him a kiss before we make our way down.

"Call me if anything. Okay?" He asks softly taking my face in his hands. I nod and keep my hands on his.

Satisfied he gives me a kiss on forehead and leaves. I watch him driving away. Almost instantly i feel cold and alone.

And then it clicks me i didn't tell him about letter.
