Chapter 3 The One Night Stand

David's POV

The host greeted me specially and handed me a bouquet upon my arrival at the charity gala event. I was the richest in the whole of New York City.

At the mention of my name, industries trembled. CEOs and top government officials aligned to my will. I was their king.

They were well aware that I ruled New York City. They understood the importance of respecting the king's authority. I mingled with various presidents, CEOs, and governors; had a few business talks; and donated $10 trillion to upcoming projects.

Amidst the customary conversations about business and other small talk, I found myself captivated by a stunningly beautiful woman. I could not help but be fascinated by the most beautiful damsel I had ever seen in my life. I was going to approach her.

She was lovely and sweet, and she looked very innocent, humming to the sound of the music and drinking champagne. I continued to engage in numerous business discussions, while a few wealthy women fought for my attention. It actually disgusted me, but women couldn't help themselves around me. I sneaked away from the crowd unnoticed.

"Good evening, my lady? "...I spoke confidently...

She turned around... and met with the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. Her skin was perfect.

And she had the perfect figure.... Her scent was endearing...she was like an angel. However, on this occasion, she appeared as a human angel.

"Good evening, sir," she said while bowing her head lightly.

"May I know your name? " I asked.

"Sure. I am Susan Brooks".

"Ok, I am David". He didn't mention his surname intentionally. He wanted her to know him for who he is, not what he is. Thank God. He never appeared in the media, meaning everyone knew the Lexington family. He trembled at the mention of Lexington, but not everyone could put a name to his face. Only those at the pinnacle of society were familiar with his face, and he intended to maintain it that way.

"Do you want to dance?" I asked, smiling and extending my hand.

"Yes, sure.... As she took my hand, her hands were incredibly soft, and her voice was like that of an angel.

Just like that, she took my hand and danced sweetly to the music. He felt attracted to her. Her hair and gorgeous lips contributed to her being perfect, beautiful, and gracious. Her emerald eyes captivated him. He was lost in her gaze.... IIt felt like a magical story.

His emotions were overwhelming him; he needed to regulate them.

He desired to kiss her and taste her soft lips against his.

Oh God, I really had too much to drink, he thought. Why do I feel so much like kissing this lady?

He should control himself.

Time had passed when I realised we were on the balcony. The music had stopped, but the attraction between them felt as strong as a magnetic force... almost magical... His gaze towards her intensified.

And just like that, we kissed. The kiss was in fact sweet; it was like a confirmation that their hearts were intertwined. Beautiful. Perfect. We shared a passionate kiss. The moonlight illuminated our lips.

Realising what we'd done, we pulled away for a minute.

She drew me closer to herself, realising she wanted this as well. She looked deeply into my eyes. I couldn't resist anymore.

This time, I deepened the kiss, like a hunger I needed to quench. I kissed her passionately, and she responded to the kiss; it seemed like I could not get enough of her.

She satisfied a longing in me... She satiated a desire I was unaware of. Realising she wanted and I wanted more... I asked...

"Do you want to follow me? "...breathing heavily.

She responded with a kiss. That was all the response I needed.

We arrived at my exquisite suite, and in that moment, as our bodies burned with desire, I realised how perfect she was. The way she responded to my touches, kisses, and caresses was with soft moans. She begged me to take her, and in that moment, I finally felt that she had conquered me.

I felt a deep connection with her. Our bodies were in a pleasurable rhythm as she gave me her first time. I whispered, I love you.

We fell asleep entwined in each other's embrace; I kissed her before falling asleep. She slept like a baby, and to me, this felt like a magical moment... It felt like a perfect fairytale. I didn't want it to end.

The next morning I realised she had gone; last night was heavenly, and I was not the type to bed women, especially for one-night stands.

I was work-driven, ambitious, and hard-working.

I didn't have time to flirt and go to bed with women. But with Susan, it was different. I actually felt loved, and for the first time, I felt true passion for love and love-making.

She had left. She had departed, leaving my heart behind. I saw the blood stains and instantly realised that I was her first.

And I did not use protection.

I didn't collect her number. But that wouldn't be a problem. I was, after all. The KING. I found her bracelet. I was going to pursue her and make her my woman. I smiled at the thought. My Woman.
