Prohibited: an erotic novel (4 page)

After dinner, I watched as the bride and groom cut the cake and danced for the first time as husband and wife. I watched Mikey dance with his mother and his new wife danced with her father.

I even stood with all the rest of the single women in the room when the bouquet was tossed.

I tried my best to ignore his eyes on me. I was really trying to behave! A couple more glasses of champagne and I was on the dance floor with Julia.

After awhile, the lights lowered and everyone made their way to the dance floor for a slow song.

 Julia’s dad tapped her on the shoulder.

“Can I have this dance pretty lady?” He asked smiling.

She held out her hand and they began a sweet father-daughter dance across the floor.

It made me think about my dad. It made me realize that I would never get to dance with him again. He would never dance at my wedding. His absence after all this time still gets to me.

I was starting to get emotional.

I really hate that.

That was my cue to head to the bathroom. I walked slowly making my way through the tables and down the hall that led to the restrooms.

I was surprised how dimly lit this particular hallway was. It was so dark that I almost screamed when big strong hands grabbed me and pulled me into a corner. Just the smell of him and I knew exactly who it was.

“Michael!” I exclaimed.

“Quiet!”  He whispered with his soft lips caressing my ear.

I nearly fainted.

“Michael, what are you doing? Someone could see us.”

“
Cara mia
,” he said quietly. “I couldn’t stay away from you.”

I looked down the dim corridor and was certain that someone would come any minute and catch us together.

My heart started to race. The danger was exciting.

“Michael, not right here, not now.” I said gently yet sternly.

I could feel his hand seductively running up and down my exposed thigh.

It felt so good to have his hands on me.

Gently he turned me around to face him. He reached up and cupped my chin. I lifted my gaze and was drawn into the electric green eyes of the most gorgeous man I had ever seen.

He stared at me for what seemed like forever and then he flashed me a smile full of perfect white teeth. I had seen that smile before. It was the same smile that sent a dizzying current through me and left me unable to think or reason.

In an instant his eyes changed dramatically from amusement to lustful.

He lifted his hand and traced my lips with his index finger. My body heated up at his touch. He leaned forward and kissed me. His lips were probing and hungry for mine. His tongue entered my awaiting mouth and I melted against him. I was caught up in his passion. I was gone for an instant.

When our lips parted, I could still feel them alive with electricity.

I had to gain my composure. I thought I heard someone coming and I shot a gaze down the hallway. It was so dark I couldn’t see anybody.

“Michael, baby, here?”

He continued to trace his fingers up and down my bare thighs.

“I just could not stay away.” He confessed.

At that moment his fingers decided to go a little higher than my thigh. I felt his fingertips graze the lace on my panties and venture inside of them. His fingers touched me gently then softly caressed my clit. I could not help it I let out a low moan.

“
Cara mia
,” he said bringing his face a little closer

to mine.

“I want you.”

I lifted my head to look at him. I shouldn’t have done that. His eyes brimmed with tenderness and passion. I immediately became reacquainted with his virile appeal.

“Stop looking at me like that. You are going to get us into so much trouble.” I teased.

He leaned in closer. With some pressure, he pushed me up against the wall. I could feel the coldness from the brick against my back.

 “What do you mean? How am I looking at you?” He said his voice calm, his gaze steady.

“Like you want to eat me alive.”

He leaned in closer.  I could feel his erection pressing up against my thigh.

“Well, I wouldn’t look at you that way my darling, if you didn’t look so damn delectable.” He taunted.

He resumed pleasuring me with is fingers driving me mad.

His hand trailed farther and farther into my panties. With my breath caught in my throat, I let out a huge audible gasp. He lifted my right leg and wrapped it around his waist. He leaned down and our lips reconnected for the second time.

This man was charming, seductive and…rather aggressive.

Damn! That really turned me on!

His hand did not stop its exploration as he lifted my dress and moved my panties to the side. He removed his lips from mine and trailed light kisses down my neck. His fingers found my wetness and he gently pushed two of them inside of me.

“Oh Michael,” I moaned.

He continued to lick and suck on my neck.

I heard a noise coming from the other end of the hall and I was snapped into reality. I grabbed his hand and removed it from my panties. I pushed him off me and he stumbled backward barely keeping himself from falling. I looked down the hall and saw no one.

“Michael, as much as I want this, your son’s wedding reception is not the place.” I exclaimed fixing my dress and trying to stop my heart from racing.

He smiled. Emerald green eyes burned a hole right through me and I felt weak in my knees.

“But his wedding rehearsal dinner was?”

“Whatever.”

He offered a soft chuckle. Then he slowly licked my juices off his fingers.

I was so fucking turned on I was finding it hard to breathe.

I turned away from him and glanced down the hall.

“I thought I heard someone coming.” I said.          

“Why are you so nervous?” He asked leaning against the brick wall with his arms folded across his chest.

He looked so irresistible. I fought the urge to let him take in the men’s bathroom and fuck me insane.

“They are all preoccupied. No one will see us. Do you think I want my wife to see me with my lover?”

I flinched when he called me his lover. I felt punched in the gut when he mentioned his wife.

I really thought I was such a badass that it wouldn’t bother me. Yet he had a wife and I guess I was a little bit soft on that subject.

I licked my dry lips.

“Michael, don’t call me your lover.” I ordered with an air of authority in my voice. “It was only one time.”

He laughed richly amused at my attempt to stand my ground.

“Oh my darling, don’t you think we will have more time to get to know each other?” He challenged taking a step towards me.

 I took a step backwards hitting nothing but brick. He put one arm on either side of my head palms flat on the wall.

“Only a lover would know everything I know about you.”

“You don’t know a thing about me.” I boldly stated meeting his gaze.

He stared at me eyes narrowing as if he were daring me to defy him.

I held my ground. I refused to back down to another man.

“I know every inch of your body because I explored it, I conquered it, and you know what,
bellissima mia
,” he said moving a finger to my lips.

“I intend to do it again.”

And with that, he moved away from me and casually walked down the dim hallway to join his wife and the rest of the wedding party.

I bet you do want to explore my body again, I thought with a smile on my face. My body was still tingling from his touch. I wanted more of him. I had to admit, he left me a little shaken up.

After my little encounter with him, I thought it wise to high tail it out of this reception.  I knew if he tried that again we would definitely get caught. 

With my thoughts still swirling around in my head, I walked into the dimly lit ballroom. Still a little weak in the knees I smacked right into Mikey.

“Hey Maxi, we were looking all over for you.”

“I was using the little girl’s room.” I lied.

He looked at me rather suspiciously like he knew something. I started to feel sick to my stomach.

“Maxi, are you okay?”

He reached out and grabbed me around the waist.

“Oh sweetie, you don’t look good.”

At that moment, the new bride Stacey walked over.

“What’s going on here?”

Mikey immediately let me go. I stumbled backwards, but held I my ground. He looked like a kid caught in the cookie jar.

“Umm, nothing honey. Maxi isn’t feeling well.”

“Yes, must have been something I ate.” I added.

She looked rights through me.

“Well, my grandmother would like to speak to you.”

Mikey looked at me.

“Will you be okay?”

Stacey grabbed him by the arm.

“She’ll be fine. Let’s go”

She dragged poor Mikey across the room and hurriedly away from me. In just that instant I realized I couldn’t stand that uptight bitch!

I walked around for a minute looking for Julia. I found her at the bar leaning dramatically over the counter and flirting with the bartender.

I hope he knows she doesn’t suck dick!

I made my way over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She spun around and gave me a dirty look.

“What?” She said tensely in hushed tones. “Can’t you see I’m busy?"

She tilted her head in the direction of the bartender.

He was actually very attractive. He was blonde with muscles for days. I see why Julia was so preoccupied. I wonder why I hadn’t scoped him out first.

That was not important right now. I needed to get out of here.

“Julia, I need to go. I’m not feeling so well.”

Her eyes shifted from anger to concern.

“What’s wrong?” She said grabbing my arm and pulling me away from her current prospect.

“I’m just not feeling well.”

She looked around the room.

“It was all that champagne. I knew I should have told you to slow down.” She lectured in her motherly voice.

“Julia, come on.” I whined.

“Okay, I can take you home but I have to find my dad first.”

I took a seat at the bar and waited for Julia for at least 20 minutes. I resisted the urge to flirt with the bartender.

I was completely irritated by the time she came back. We grabbed our coats and headed for the door.

“I am taking you home but I can’t stay with you. I have to meet dad over at Mikey’s mom’s house. Family is going over there for a few drinks after the reception.”

She paused and stared at me.

“Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?”

“No, I really need my bed.”

I just really needed to get out of this place. The last thing I needed was a drink at Michael’s house. Obviously, we would end up in bed. As much as I want to end up with him between my legs, I can’t take that risk in his house!
