"ONE MORE!!!!", I screamed with anticipation at the bar tender to give me one more shot. I officially love the taste of this bitter alcohol and I can't help myself from having more of it. Chace left for the restroom a few minutes ago and since then, I have been continuously ordering shots since he wasn't letting me do so. Everyone around me have been looking at me like I'm crazy because of the way I'm being so carefree and out of control, but I least care about what they think about me right now. It's a democratic era, I can do whatever I wish to do.

"Ma'am, you have already had way too much alcohol intake already, I'm sorry but I can't give more to you", the bar tender argued and as I processed what he had just said, I gave him my most intimidating glare of all time, trying to scare him to give up. But the stubborn person didn't move even a bit.

"Listen mister..", I trailed off as I leaned forward on my stool to have a look at his name plate,"Riley, I least care what you want to do, I just want my shots for which I am going to pay you for. So you better give up and give me my shots", I tried to be polite although it did sound rude, but I have no choice.

"Sorry ma'am, not possible", he remained stern on his words and I sighed with irritation, trying to keep myself cool because I don't want to create a scene,"Listen up dude, you give me my god damn shots or you lose all the money I was going to tip you with", I said as I took out a big bundle of cash out of my clutch which even I wasn't aware of. As he saw the cash, I immediately saw greediness attack him as he smiled and nodded his head, taking out fresh shots glasses and filling them up. Money always works.

"Sophie! I leave you for 5 minutes and you get extremely drunk", I heard Chace's irritated voice behind me and I immediately froze on my spot....caught red-handed! I turned on the rotating chair and saw Chace standing behind me, looking handsome as always and hot as hell, how does he pull off to always good so good?! I need to ask him that because this curiosity is killing me.

Chace stood on his spot as he folded his hands over his chest, his muscles flexing which could be seen even though they were covered. My mouth went dry as he looked at me with anger and man, he looked hot with all that intimidating vibes he had. I slowly stepped down from my stool and gave him a small smile in embarrassment and let out a nervous laugh to lighten his mood up but it didn't work out since he still looked angry.

I slowly started walking towards him,"Chace, I am sorry to-", before I could continue, I stumbled over my foot because of my annoying heels and also because my head was spinning really bad. I straightened up and continued walking towards him but stumbled again and this time, I was about to fall but Chace caught me from falling at the right time.

I looked up at him as his hands were delicately holding my waist, holding me close to him as if I was a doll made of glass and which would break into pieces if handled roughly. I looked into his eyes and the chocolate color made me lose myself into them and my mouth went dry. I slowly bit my lower lip due to the nervousness this guy right here was causing me to go through and I guess due to which his brown eyes slowly looked down at my lips and his eyes darkened, making me swallow hard. His eyes caused me to look down but then one of his hands left my waist and came down to my chin, making me look back up at him but his eyes were still on my lips, leading me to unexpectedly look down at his kissable lips. For a few moments, but I don't know exactly how long, we kept staring at each other's lips, and I felt like kissing him. I slowly brought my right hand up towards his cheek and ran my hand down his right cheek, to his jaw, all the while his light stubble tickling the palm of my hands.

My hand suddenly froze on his jaw as his hand which was on my chin came up to my lips and he slowly ran his thumb over my lips lightly, sending tingles in my whole body by the close contact of our bodies.

Unexpectedly, Chace leaned down in speed and captured my lips with his before I could process it and I gave in soon as my lips soon started moving in sync with his soft ones. Our kisses have mostly been unexpectedly and this was one of them, but something seemed different about this one. We started out slow and sweet as our lips moved with each other in perfect sync but it quickly turned rough, thirsty and hot when his tongue invaded my mouth and caused me to moan out his name softly. The room soon got even hotter and filled with my soft moans and his responsive groans.

My legs went weak as I got lost in the amazing kiss and I didn't even realize that I was losing my balance until Chace quickly caught me by holding me by my waist and pulling my body closer to his, helping me stand back on my feet, although his kiss was sweeping my feet off the ground. Soon we had to part our lips to breath but our close proximity didn't decrease because we were still flushed to each other with our foreheads touching and our lips were the only parts apart as we both panted and tried to bring our breathing back to normal. I looked up through my eyelashes shyly at Chace and saw that he was already looking at me and I bite my lower lip in nervousness again, and that seemed to bring Chace back to his dark self as his eyes filled with lust and darkened. Before I could notice anything else, Chace quickly stepped away and picked me up bridal style and started walking, making me squeal at his sudden action. But before I could ask him where was he taking me, his lips captured mine again as he continued walking and from the movements, I could feel like we were going upstairs. I wrapped my hands tighter around his neck to bring his head and lips closer to mine as I soon lost track of where we were going until I felt myself being thrown on something soft, like a bed.

I was right when I saw that Chace gently kept me on the bed and quickly climbed on top of me, his legs on both sides of my hips and he leaned down quickly, capturing my lips once again. This time, he seemed rougher than ever and it looked like he was influencing me to enjoy his lusty rough kiss, making the excitement in me rise further. I ran my fingers in his hair and pulled his face closer to me, and he seemed to retaliate.

Suddenly, I felt like I wanted more. I impatiently starting unbuttoning his shirt, and he didn't seem to mind as he started to lift my dress up and removed it, making me shudder when my body was exposed to the cold air in the room, but his warmth and touch was enough for my body to turn hot instantly. Once all his buttons were undone, I was removing his shirt off him when I felt his hands suddenly wrap around my wrist gently, stopping me from unveiling his gorgeous body.

"Let's take it slow sweetbutt. You are drunk and I don't want you to regret this", he said and I groaned in frustration.

"No! Don't stop and kiss me!", I said desperately, wrapping my hands around his neck and trying to pull him closer, but he resisted and held my wrist. He was gentle in holding my wrist, but I could not fight him because of my weak drunk self.

"As much as I would love to take you right here right now, I really don't want this while you are not sober", he explained calmly, as if he was talking to a child. I groaned again because although I was drunk, the small sober side of me actually agreed with him.

"The bad boy is turning a gentleman?", I joked, smirking at him and he gave me a smile,"Only for you sweet butt, just you..", he softly replied and sat back up on the bed. The absence of his warm body on top of me made me realize I was lying on the bed, practically naked. I shuddered due to the coldness and that seemed to have caught chace's attention, but I saw his eyes turn dark again when his eyes scanned my almost naked body. I actually expected him to change his mind and jump over me again by the way his eyes trailed my body. But instead he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and stood up from the bed.

I felt something being lifted from below my legs and something warm was gently dropped on my body, making me realize that Chace had pulled the blanket and covered me, making me sigh in relief as I felt the soft blanket against my bare skin. I pulled the blanket closer to me and closed my eyes, but then I realized that Chace was leaving, so I quickly grabbed his hand,"Can you stay with me please?", I whispered gently, my eyes requesting him to agree.

He seemed to think something with his eyes scanning my face, and without saying a word, he nodded and took off his shoes, getting beside me on the bed and lying on the pillow. I rested my head against his chest and sighed at the way I felt as I melted away from his touch. I felt his fingers trail my shoulders softly, making me smile with my eyes closed.

I felt a sweet feather like kiss on my forehead and Chance gently pulled my body closer to his, all the while making sure to be cautious of not waking me up, although he didn't know that I wasn't asleep completely.

After a while, I was on the verge of entering a deep sleep when I heard Chance softly speak something, his voice so low, that although I was lying right next to him with my head lying under his chin, it was hard for me to hear him ,"I do not know if you will remember all this in the morning tomorrow, but I feel like I am falling for you, and I am scared that this is not a good idea because this is not what I should be doing. And this...," he trailed off, as if thinking something ,"...is scaring me, because I know I am losing myself to you..", he continued after he found the right words.

I wanted to open my eyes and ask him about he meant by that, but my drunk condition did not leave me with enough energy and the last thing I heard was ,"Sweet dreams", with another gentle kiss on my temple before I fell into deep slumber.

--------

I slowly opened my eyes but closed them instantly as I fell a strong throbbing pain in my forehead. I slowly reopened my eyes and blinked then a few times, trying to adjust to the harsh sunlight falling upon me. I rubbed my temple praying to get rid of this hangover when I heard a door open and saw Chace come into the room with irritation and anger on his face, but it quickly changed as soon as his eyes landed on my lying body.

"Good morning sweet butt, hope you are not feeling sore", he smirked as I gave him a confused look. I slowly got up to rest my back against the headrest when the soft blanket slid off my body, making me look down and realize that I was naked with just my bra and panties on.

I was too shocked and confused to react but then I heard a sharp intake of breath and looked up to see Chace smirking ,"As much as I would love to see that view, I don't think you are ready for another session after last night", he joked and I stared at him until my eyes widened as I realized what he was trying to say.

"What do you mean? Did we....", I trailed off, shy and worried that I slept with a guy I never expected and that too in a state when I was not sober. I looked down in embarrassment, hoping that he understood what I wanted to ask him, but I was wrong.

"Did we what sweet butt?", I could practically hear the smirk in his voice, making me throw daggers at him with my glare. I knew that he understood what I wanted to know, but I was too desperate and worried to tolerate his childish games and so I had to find courage to ask him right away. Because this could be a one-night stand for him, but for me, it was my first time after....that awful night.

"Did we....," I trailed off once again, but I took a deep breath and closed my eyes ,"Did we sleep together?", I ranted out impatiently because I knew he would not give in.

"You mean did we have sex?", he asked as he chuckled at my face, because I knew that this word always seems to make my blood rush to my cheeks.

"Sh-shut up and tell me!", I replied while stuttering, waiting impatiently for his answer, but when he nodded a yes to answer my question, I looked down in embarrassment and guilt, making my heart drop at what I had just done.

After that night, I had planned that I will only do this with the person I love. Even while I was with hunter, we never went more than just making out because I had made it clear to him that I was not ready, and he seemed to have agreed. I guess my outdated beliefs made him do what he did to me. Sometimes he used to lose patience and try to do more, but I always stopped him and we used to have a lot of fights, most of them being on why I was not doing it.

I didn't even realize he was joking because I was not feeling sore or anything.

"Well, as much as you were dying to see this", he teased while pointing at junior Chace, I knew you would wake up to regret it and so I made you sleep", he smirked, making me blush and glare at him.

"You are an aggravating asshole!", I finally managed to irritably reply back. Instead of saying something, he slowly walked towards me and sat down on the bed so that we were face to face now.

Chace slowly leaned towards me until our faces were inches apart, making my it harder for me to breath due to our close proximity. His eyes slowly trailed on my face until they were looking straight at me in the eye.

"You can trust me, I would never do something that would hurt you", he slowly whispered before giving me a smile which seemed really genuine, a smile I rarely see on his face, a smile that made my heart flutter. And something about the way he asked me to trust him was so reassuring, that I could not stop myself and my heart from believing his words.

Without saying a word, I just smiled back at him. But his eyes were no focused on my lips, and I couldn't stop myself from staring back at him, taking in all his features once again. I also noticed that he had a small scar on his left cheek that I had not noticed earlier. Our eyes met once again  and they held each other for I don't know how long, and he did not dare to look away, it felt like his eyes were challenging me keep looking into them. But the more I fell deep into his eyes, the more breathless I became, my heart pounding as if it was going to pop out of my chest. I cannot have feelings for Chace, I just cannot....

Finally I built up the courage to look away and looked down at my hands, but I could still feel his gaze on me. I then felt the bed shift upwards and saw him get off the bed. He turned towards me with a smile and I could still feel the blush on my cheeks from our small encounter few minutes ago.

"I am gonna head down and have some breakfast prepared for you, you should get ready too, I will drop you home", he said with a smile and I just nodded because I could not find my voice.

Before leaving the room, he slowly turned back to me.

"I have kept an extra toothbrush for you in the washroom and a medicine for hangover is in the first drawer of the side table, you will need it", he informed me and before I could say thanks you, he left.

After he left, I quickly got up and felt the hangover take over me, so I quickly took the tablet and rushed to the washroom for a quick shower. While standing under the shower, my drifted back to remember what all happened last night, but I could not remember. I guess I really did drink too much last night.

I wore the same dress which I had worn in the party as it wasn't bad since Chace had changed me out of it last night.
I should feel slightly offended that he took off my dress without my permission, but a part of me did not mind, because I don't know why, but I trusted him....
