Chapter five: Boundaries crossed

"Ugh, she thinks she's all that," a voice sneered, followed by snickers. Kylie's eyes stung, but she held back tears.

Rising from her seat, she ordered a drink and lost herself in the alcohol's warmth. A charming stranger asked her to dance, but she softly declined

"No thank you." Persistent, he reached for her waist.

A deep voice cut through the music,

"She just told you no. Is that so hard to understand?" A hand clamped around the stranger's wrist, twisting it.

Kylie's eyes widened as she recognized the intervenor. "Mr Rome."

In one swift movement, Rome pulled the stranger to the floor.

The crowd gasped, eyes darting toward the sudden violence. Rome grasped her hand pulling her outside the club. The cool rain hit them like a slap

"What the hell are you doing here?" Rome's brow furrowed and he clenched his jaw his voice cold

Kylie's gaze dropped, her fingers twisting the hem of her dress Her discomfort only seemed to deepen his frustration.

He asked again, his voice sharp, "What the hell are you doing here alone, drinking?" He demanded.

"We just came out to party" she murmured.

Rome's scowl deepened "And where is your gay friend ?"

Kylie fumbled with her phone, her eyes scanning the screen. "I don't know... Let me try calling him"

the call didn't go through As the rain intensified, Kylie stumbled, her arms flailing for balance. Instinctively, she clung to Rome.

"You are drunk" he stated, his voice firm.

Kylie's cheeks flushed "Maybe" she admitted softly.

"I will take you home" he insisted

"No, I don't want my dad to see me like this I will wait for Dustin and stay at his apartment." Kylie pressed

He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. The warmth enveloping her

"I will drop you off at the nearest hotel. You can call your friend from there."

Kylie nodded, her eyes still fixed on the ground

****

He brought her to the nearest hotel and settled her into a cozy suite. As he turned to leave, Kylie's soft voice stopped him"Are you leaving already?"

He did not respond, his footsteps quiet on the carpet.

Kylie's small arms wrapped around him from behind, her lips brushing against his ear. "Don't go yet... It's still raining"

He gently pried her arms away, "Get some rest, Kylie"

Kylie pressed a brief kiss to his lips.

He lifted her up in a bridal carry, then gently but firmly placed her on the bed.

"You are drunk," he said, his voice cold."Just go to sleep, Don't start something you can't handle."

She grasped his hand, her eyes pleading, "Please don't go."

Standing up, she gazed at him with admiration and leaned in to place a gentle kiss on his lips. Rome's chest tightened, his breath catching "Khy" this is not right. You are drunk, Stop trying to provoke me"

Kylie's lips curved into a soft,A soft, affectionate smile. "I like it when you call me Khy"

She rose onto her tiptoes, her lips brushing against his lower lips. her touch hesitant, and delicate, as though she feared he might pull away.

His eyes widened with a mix of surprise and intense desire, and his lips parted slightly as he leaned in.

His hands pulled her closer. Her eyes fluttered shut in shock, and her posture stiffened as their lips met, they remained motionless, each lost in their own thoughts.

They held each other close, savoring the tender closeness of the kiss. He cupped her face, his fingers tracing the lines of her cheeks. Stray strands of hair, fell away from her face..revealing her shy smile

Kylie's eyes fluttered open meeting Rome's Rome's arms enveloped Kylie, lifting her unto the dressing table. His gaze searched hers " who am I?" He asked, his voice low

Her cheeks flushed as she touched his face "Rome"

His lips pressed forcefully against hers as he roughly tore her white short gown revealing her perfect body to him.

Kylie's soft gasp filled the air as Rome's lips traced her bosom. Her fingers clenched his shirt pulling him closer. he tore her little panties and insert his fingers.

Kylie moans filled the air as Rome laid her on the bed.

He quickly shed off his clothes, when she caught sight of his d**k she grasped his hand.

"I have not done this before, her eyes widened and she bit her lips.

He was way to big to fit in there" she thought to herself.

He looked at her with a hesitant expression "his brows furrowed and eyes uncertain"are you sure, you want to do this? his voice barely a whisper.

She nodded, her heart racing with a mixture of excitement and vulnerability

He slowly inserted his d**k inside of her, Kylie's body tensed...her nails digging into his skin. Rome's jaw clenched, his eyes burning with desire.

As he finally fit in, Rome thrusted so fast and hard. Kylie's cries mingled with moans The room was filled with the gentle rustle of the sheet and soft rhythmic sound of their breathing mingling occasionally.

He made sure, she has her orgasm before he did, she felt so tired and fell asleep quickly. The air was filled with a soothing quietness , interrupted only by the rustle of the curtains as a gentle breeze drifted through the open windows.

He glanced at the disheveled bed, then noticed her phone ringing repeatedly.

Seeing the caller ID as "My BFF," he realized it was Dustin.

He answered and informed him that Kylie was safe.

He decided to take a shower and step out onto the suite's balcony for a smoke.

*****

Kylie woke up to an empty room, the morning light piercing through the curtains. She spotted a shopping bag nearby, that contained Clothes, carefully selected.

As memories of the previous night resurfaced, Kylie's cheeks warmed. She glanced around the room, half-expecting to see Rome.

"What will he think of me now?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Struggling with aches all over, she got up, took a bath, and put on the clothes he had left for her.

She then texted Dustin to come pick her up. Dustin, observing her behavior and the way she walked sensed something had happened. "Did something happen between you two?" he asked.

She nodded, her cheeks flushed " We did It"

Dustin's eyes widened with delight.

"Oh my God, I'm so proud of you! The sisterhood is proud of you, my darling," he said, grinning broadly.

*****

Roman Group Corporation Rome's office, a modern space, with dark wood paneling, floor to ceiling windows which allowed to see the breathtaking view of the city at night.

The office was furnished with minimalistic elegance a big shiny modern black desk, an exclusive leather chair at the back of the table and a few high back chairs in front.

On one side of the room was a luxurious deep black couch. The walls were painted in a simple color and there was an abstract art on the walls giving the place a sophisticated look.

The air was somewhat heavy with the smell of tobacco. Rome was standing by the window, and he was enclosed by the city.

He was elegantly dressed in black suit that fitted him well. He looked relaxed, but through the cigarette he was holding, one could tell he was under pressure.

He was lost in the view, as he took drag after long of the cigarette between his finger. His assistant Liam entered with a quiet steps, he was dressed in a neatly pressed blue suit, the files he carried were well organized and clearly important

"Boss Rome we have gathered the evidence, should we strike now?" Liam asked, his fingers clutched the files tightly betraying his anxiety.

Rome took another slow drag on his cigarette, his eyes still fixed on the city below "it's not a perfect time. Hold onto those pieces of evidence."

Liam glanced at the files then back to Rome hoping for more clearity Just then, the office's intercom buzz up

"boss, we just received intel- someone breached our security.

"They are inside the building." The voice on the other end was urgent. Rome's eyes widened and he quickly stubbed out his cigarette, his jaw tightened and he turned sharply to face Liam.

Liam's face went pale and his hand clutched the files firmly Before Liam could say anything The office door burst open with a thunderous sound, a tall imposing figure strode in, his tailored white suit and confident stride spoke of elegance.

"Rome, I believe we have unfinished business." He said, his voice chilling
