🖤
I looked at myself in the mirror again, taking a deep breath and scanning how this outfit is clinging to my body, outlining every curve I have.
If it wasn't for my mom, I would be wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt right now, but no, she wanted me to be a little more formal for this stupid dinner.
I still choose to be basic, but I think it's cute at the same time. It's not like I'm trying to impress this old man who's going to take my freedom away.
Did I mention that after a week I will see my loving future husband face to face? Just perfect, isn't it?
While I was lost in my own thoughts, someone burst into my room bringing me back to reality.
My mother was standing at the door with an impatient look written on her face "Allyn, what is taking you so long? The man is here and it's disrespectful to keep him waiting'' she said flatly looking me up and down ''You look beautiful my daughter'' she spoke, her voice softened
"Thank you mom" I answered quietly, taking one last look at myself in the mirror, mentally preparing myself for this dinner "Let's not make him wait any longer'' I put a fake smile on my face and my mother nodded making a way for me to leave the room before closing the door after me.
With each step, I could feel the freedom leaving my body and I was slowly embracing myself as a prisoner.
Will my future husband allow me to work like a normal person? Will he let me have friends and go out? Will he let me study at a university if that's what I want?
Or has he already told his stupid bodyguard to keep me as a prisoner and not let me do these things?
Somehow deep down I already know the answers to these questions.
When I reached the first floor I saw a tall muscular figure with his back to me looking around the house, and this made me feel some kind of way even though I couldn't see much from him.
But when the man felt someone else's presence he spun around to face us, and the moment our eyes met, the air left my body and I froze in place, staring at him.
I definitely didn't expect that!
I expected an older man to stand in front of me, but this guy is definitely not old.
He's a fucking handsome work of art.
The first thing I noticed is that he is tall, so tall that I feel like a little toy in front of him. The expensive suit outlined well his whole body and I can tell that he was muscular enough to break me in two without a problem. Why the hell am I imagining what his body looks like naked?
Focus Allyn. Not the right person and not the right time!
From what was visible because of the suit, I could see tattoos adorning the upper part of his hands along with his knuckles and continuing upwards, hiding under his suit. That's fucking hot.
I was shamelessly checking him out to the point where I felt uncomfortable so I looked up to avoid my filthy thoughts.
But looking at his face is not helping me at all because if I was drooling over this man, now I'm literally losing my grammar, staring at him like an fucking idiot.
This man is handsome! Devilishly handsome!
His face was perfectly drawn, strong, and defined as if he had been taken out of a magazine cover. God really took his time on him.
His hair was black and slightly tousled, which made him even sexier, and when I looked into his eyes, I swear I got lost in them.
I've always been attracted to men with light eyes. Whether they're blue or green doesn't matter, but I've always been attracted to men with light eyes.
But this man - this man has the darkest black eyes I've ever seen and somehow they're the most beautiful I've ever looked at. I was fucking lost in them, as if they were inviting me to play a dangerous game I'll probably lose.
He was confident, standing with all his glory and his head up with his hands in the pockets of his pants looking like the powerful man he is.
I needed to sit up before I passed out because this Greek God in front of me was making me feel things I hadn't felt in a long time.
I don't even remember the last time I had sex and to be honest no one can keep my attention long enough to open my legs for him until my eyes landed on this man in front of me. For him, I'll open my legs here and now if he asks me.
His eyes shamelessly scanned every curve of my body several times, making me feel a fucking waterfall between my thighs, before he stopped his gaze on my face, narrowing his eyes before looking at my mother as if he hadn't fucked me with his eyes until now.
''We apologize for the delay" my mother lightly smiled, before giving out her hand to shake his "Pleased to meet you, sir. I'm Alicent Delgado-Allyn's mother.''
The man looked down at my mother's hand with a frown before nodding and shaking her hand.
"The pleasure is mine Mrs. Delgado" he said casually in a thick, low voice "I'm Maddox"
Is it possible to get an orgasm from a voice, because if it is- I just had one. I never believed that a man's voice could affect me in this way. But I think that's exactly why- In front of me stood a real fucking man, who make me forget my fucking grammar.
And why the hell do I find his name so fucking sexy? Maddox. It suits him.
''Please call me Alicent, you'll be spending a lot of time here keeping my daughter safe after all'' she smiled taking me by my arm causing him to turn his attention to me making me blush.
He nodded, avoiding what my mom said and not a single smile appeared on his handsome face, even though my mother was smiling like an idiot in front of him.
''Emily will show you your room. After you are ready you can join us for dinner'' my mother said sweetly.
He nodded, going after Emily who is our house cleaner. But as he was passing me, he didn't fail to meet my eyes, and for seconds the world around me stopped and I could only see him.
I swear I saw a small dark smirk written on his face as he was looking me up and down one last time.
Dad, what the fuck did you get me into?
It was deadly quiet while we ate dinner.
It was so fucking quiet, to the point where it makes me feel uncomfortable.
I had the feeling that the fucking walls were pressing me and taking the air from my body.
Or maybe it was because of the man who is sitting across from me at the table, calmly eating, seemingly unfazed by the awkward silence.
It was too hard for me not to stare at him, and I don't care that I do it in front of my mother.
He was no longer wearing a suit, but a plain white shirt and jeans.
And now that I could see more of his body, my eyes just couldn't get enough of the sight.
The shirt fitted his body perfectly, outlining his toned body, making me wonder what it would be like to run my fingers on his abs. Just from this thought, I got fucking wet.
My eyes drifted to his arms, realizing that his bicep must be the size of my head. He didn't even flex, and his arms looked muscular and tight. I saw the tattoos that decorated his hands and I can't believe how weak they make me feel.
They just suited him a lot.
It's not my style to like a guy with tattoos, but I seem to be learning new things about myself because I'm hella intrigued to find out the history of every single tattoo that adorns his body, even if they weren't that many.
"So Maddox" I heard my mother's voice cut through the silence bringing me back to reality and making me turn and look at her "I hope you like the room and have everything you need in it"' she smiled, sipping from her water as she stared at the man in front of us
"Yes, thank you Alicent" he replied in an even tone, nodding at her. It's so weird to hear him call her by her name.
Are all bodyguards so sexy and at the same time so dark without smiling or it's just mine?
"If you need anything, you can always turn to me" she answered in a gentle voice, and I looked at her and couldn't believe that it was my mother. I haven't seen her act so nice since my father died.
Maddox pursed his lips into a straight line and nodded "I'll keep that in mind"
I could see that this conversation was boring him as much as it was boring me, so I decided to change the subject
"Mom, I'll be late tomorrow, so don't wait me for dinner" I said, catching both my mom's and Maddox's eyes. I looked at him, but there was no trace of emotion written on his face. His pitch black eyes just stared at me.
He was kind of...dark. His eyes, his hair, his vibe. Absolutely everything about him screamed that he was a walking problem that I should stay away from in order not to suffer.
But I never play by the rules, so who the hell cares?
"Why?'' my mother replied, her brows furrowing in confusion, her hands resting on the table, trying to keep her voice nice and even.
"I'll be helping out at the shelter. Tamara said they need me" I said simply before starting to eat from the salad in my plate.
My mom never supported me in volunteering at the dog shelter. Even while dad was alive, she tried to make him forbid me from going there, but he never did. He knew this makes me happy because I adore animals and that's why he let me go wherever I want.
"Allyn, when are you going to give this up?" she sighed, shaking her head "You have more important things to think about right now than this shelter " she snapped and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
She was talking about my fucking future husband again.
Why her every word is related to this idiot?
"Never" I replied with a smile on my face, which I aimed to annoy her, and by the way her face changed, I knew I had succeeded.
But she will not allow herself to get out of the false image she paints right now. Not while there is a stranger with us, who was looking between the two of us.
''Allyn...'' she began in a firmer voice, turning her full attention to me.
"I'll be with her, Mrs. Delgado" the guy whose name is Maddox broke into our conversation making us both look at him.
What fucking business does he have to intrude into the conversation with my mother?
"Excuse me but I'm talking to my mother" I said narrowing my eyes at him and he raised an eyebrow "Weren't you taught that it's not polite to intrude on other people's conversations?"
"Allyn" my mother scolded, but I still did not take my eyes off him.
Maddox was staring at me, studying every little detail on my face and I swear his gaze made me feel fucking naked in front of him. His gaze passed over my lips and landed on my eyes, a smug smile settling on his lips that made my stomach turn upside down.
How can a person be so fucking hot?
What else he can do with that mouth?
Shit, I get distracted in his presence.
Our eye contact became too much for me, I could feel the air leaving my body so I just looked away from him, taking a deep breath before seeing my mother's angry face.
"Manners, Allyn!" She added flatly, literally killing me with her stare.
"Of course mother, it won't happen again" I said sarcastically before taking a sip of my water.
Who am I kidding? We both knew it would happen again.
My mother sighed heavily, giving up on me before looking at Maddox who still had his attention fixed on me.
"Excuse my daughter for her behavior, but she's always like that" my mother laughed lightly, and I rolled my eyes again, annoyed by this conversation
''I see'' he drawled slowly in a low voice and shit, even if I couldn't see him I just knew his gaze was locked on me ''Don't worry miss I can work with that''
You wish, pretty boy.
"As much as I'm enjoying this sweet little conversation I have to leave you because I have a lot of work at the shelter tomorrow and I want to get some sleep" I said wiping my mouth with a napkin before placing it on the table with a fake smile "Good night from me"
"Maddox will accompany you tomorrow" I heard my mother's voice behind me causing me to stop still with my back to them.
She just likes to get on my fucking nerves.
"Good night Ms.Delgado" Maddox said casually, his voice echoing throughout the room driving straight up my spine and making me goosebumps.
I could hear the sneer in his voice, I knew he finds this whole situation funny and it was like a game to him, which made him no less arrogant than Angelo.
Well, that's normal. He works for him.
I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but it wasn't working because my body was shaking with rage and excitement at the same time.
Both were caused by the man I saw for the first time today.
Ironic, isn't it?
I didn't say anything back, I just left the room, slamming the door behind me.
