Chapter Six
Sera sat down on the sofa and closed her eyes. They watched a romantic movie which ended in a tragic accident. Did happily ever after not happen anymore in reality? She wondered. Two strong arms of Zachary picked her up and placed her on his lap.
She opened her eyes as she stared lost in Zachary's mesmerising blue eyes. "You are gorgeous, Sera, " he whispered, as he angled his head for a kiss. He kissed her hard, his lips wild with desire. He deepened the kiss while his hands roamed about her body touching her intimately.
Sera moaned out his name and he became uncontrollable. His hand went beneath her top and he unclasped her bra and touched her breasts. A gasp escaped her as his relentlessly kneaded and stroked her breasts and nipples. He dipped his head and captured her big rounded breasts into his mouth. He sucked like a baby as she arched herself into him.
When he released her, his eyes were dark with raw desire. "I want you, Sera, all of you. Be my girlfriend? Let me make love to you?" He pleaded.
"Yes, zach," she whispered. Maybe next he will propose marriage. That's how it always went.
"I'm glad, baby." He said and fixed her dress. "Let's eat now, " he said, immensely pleased with himself. At last she was willingly his. They ate while discussing the movie.
River returned from the dinner, with a pained expression on her face. She locked herself in her room. Zachary left after kissing her forehead and Sera went to her own room.
The next morning, Sera and River decided to lodge an FIR with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Zachary accompanied them to the sheriff's office. The assistant sheriff filed their FIR. Zachary took them to lunch. River wasn't much interested in food. She hadn't still recovered from her heartbreak. Zachary tried his level best to cheer her up, but failed.
"Stop sulking, Rivera. You need to forget him. The best way to forget him is to enjoy," he suggested.
"I don't want to," said River.
"Has your life ended? You're still alive. Aren't you? Does your grieving make any difference to Tyler? He's enjoying life with his wife. So why can't you?" He said and River looked down at her hands.
"Alright bro. What do you suggest we do?" She asked halfheartedly.
"Let's go sightseeing. Let's enjoy everything that Vegas has to offer," he said excitedly.
"Ok, lead the way," said River and Sera hugged her.
"That's the spirit," Sera encouraged. Zachary drove them to the Strip and they enjoyed seeing everything that was there to see. They returned to the apartment late and Zachary left after dropping them off.
The next nine days, he took them out everyday. He showed them the whole of Vegas. They visited the Ffloyd Lamb park, the Stratosphere casino, the Sunrise mountain, the Pine Creek Canyon, the Valley Of Fire Avenue, the boulder beach and every other place that they could cover. He took them to taste the best restaurants of Vegas and treated them to lavish meals.
Sera saw a side of Zachary, the caring side, the attentive side which endeared him to her. He looked after them and to their needs with so much care. The more she saw, the more she liked him. When that like turned into love, she didn't realise. It was only when she lay awake at night thinking about him did she realise that she loved him. She was scared of the future. She didn't wish to leave Vegas ever.
The next evening they went out again. Zachary took them shopping afterwards and he forcefully bought Sera expensive clothes and accessories. Later they went to a club where Zachary had a membership. They drank a few glasses. River met an old friend there and went to her house while Zachary and Sera returned to the apartment with all their shopping bags.
"Thanks for the gifts, " said Sera. She had never possessed so many expensive things in her entire life.
"I'm glad you like them, " he said, coming closer. "Thank me in another way, Sera," he said, looking into her eyes.
"What way?" She asked in confusion. The alcohol in her system played havoc with her senses.
"Let me make love to you," he said, picking her up and carrying her to her bedroom. "I want you so much, baby. I'm going crazy for you," he said, laying her on her bed.
"I love you, Zach," she said, closing her eyes as his mouth teased her neck. It was exactly what he had been dying to hear. His hands pulled the top over her head and away. He unclasped her bra with expertise and threw it away too, staring at her breasts with hooded, lust filled eyes. His hands tucked into her shorts and pulled it down and threw it away too. His fingers tore the lacy panties she was wearing and took it off her.
"Tell me again, Sera, tell me that you love me," he insisted. His hands parted her legs and touched her wet dripping mound and she moaned in ecstasy. He inserted a finger and thrust into her wet core, as a gasp escaped her.
"I love you, Zach," she said, breathlessly. She clung to the sheets as his fingers thrust inside her relentlessly. His mouth sucked her breasts and trailed down the wetness between her legs. He devoured her folds till she released her juices into his mouth. It was the best feeling for Sera. She never experienced such a heavenly and satisfying moment in her life. She looked at him with all the love and adoration she felt for him.
He opened his clothes with abandon and positioned himself above her. Her eyes went around at his sculpted, muscular body and his massive erection. He thrust his hard arousal into her till she cried out in pain. He made love to her many times till she was too exhausted. The alcohol combined with exhaustion soon started taking its toll and she went off to sleep.
He covered her and wearing his clothes, left the room with a happy smile on his face. She loved him, and he had her, at last. His charm, his perseverance had worked. She at last gave in. He won the challenge. But was he satisfied? No, he wanted more of her and again. He was insatiable where she was concerned.
The next morning, Sera woke up with a mild headache. She stared at her naked body. Oh my god, what had she done? She had sex with Zachary, something which she was against. It was true that she loved him but she never wanted any physical relationship before marriage. It was her way of thinking and she did something she was against? Although she felt guilty yet there was a pleasing sense of happiness that the man she loved had wanted her so much, made her feel so desirable.
The pain in between her legs was too much to bear. She showered and lay down in bed again, unable to walk. She didn't know if River came home last night or stayed at her friend's house.
After lying for sometime, she slowly got up and went to the kitchen for coffee and something to eat. River wasn't anywhere. She hadn't turned to the apartment last night.
The whole day, Sera stayed inside. By evening, she was feeling better and normal again. River didn't return and neither did Zachary visit her. She went to the park in the evening, thinking about Huntsville and when she would have to return home. What would she do? She loved Zachary and didn't want to leave him and go back.
She wandered aimlessly for sometime and then went back to the apartment. River was sitting down on the couch, watching TV. "Where did you go?" She asked with concern.
"Just for a stroll in the park," she informed her.
"Alone?" Asked River.
"Yeah," Sera answered.
"It's not safe to go alone," she warned and Sera nodded.
"The police raided Maxwell's office. He might return back to Vegas soon," said River and Sera nodded. She didn't want them to return so soon. She wanted to be with Zachary. He had promised that he would make them happen. She wanted to wait for him to propose to her. She wanted him to take her home to see his mom.
"Ok, that's good news," she lied.
