The scent of coffee and toast sailed through her nose as Eve stirred and immediately became wide awake. She glanced sideways and noticed a tray on the bedside table. Her gaze moved to the window where startling rays of sunlight flooded in, giving the room a sort of welcome warmth. She gently rolled to the edge of the bed and sat up. That was when she noticed him in his white shirt and shorts, silently watching her.
"Did I wake you up?" Elvin asked.
Eve looked to the tray at her side then slowly returned her gaze to him.
"Not exactly, but I've not had enough sleep. Thanks for breakfast though." She reached for the tray then looked back at him.
"It's mine right?" she asked.
"Yes."
Eve set the tray on her lap and began to eat. When she looked up, he was still staring at her, and his gaze seemed to occasionally move from between her legs to her breasts. "You look hungry yourself."
His gaze met hers. "I have eaten," he said.
"Are you sure?"
His smile probably told her that he knew what she meant, and he said, "Yes."
"Preparing for work?" she asked.
"Not exactly."
Eve squinted her gaze at him. "What's the time?"
"Ten in the morning."
Now she raised her brow and thought him to be unserious at his job. "Don't tell me you want to get yourself fired. Hope this has nothing to do with you looking after me, because I'm a big girl? I can handle myself."
"No. It has nothing to do with that."
She looked a bit disappointed. She half expected him to say yes. "Great. Because after this delicious breakfast you just served, I should be on my way too. And thanks for last night. It was terrific."
"Uhm, you can't go?"
Eve gave him a curious stare, a smile appeared on her face. Somehow, this seemed to make up for the disappointment of him not wanting to go to work but watch her, but to be sure, she had to find out. "Oh my. This isn't about last night, is it?"
"No."
"Then what?"
"There's a lockdown."
Eve laughed. "Right. Good one... I'm sorry. I don't even know your name."
"I'm—"
"That's the point. You're not supposed to tell me. I doubt you know my name. We are going to go our separate ways and act like this never happened. It was amazing. I hope I see you again, and frankly, you're not my type. But sex-wise, you're great. So..." She stood from the bed and looked around for her things.
"They are all in the parlour," he said.
Eve gave a single nod, and said, "Right." She aimed for the door.
"You've not finished your breakfast," Elvin said.
"I should be more concerned with going to work," Eve said. "Thank you for breakfast. Also, you're romantic." She left the room.

Elvin met her downstairs in the living room getting into her clothes. She put on her heels, searched for her phone, and Elvin pointed it to her.
"Right there," he said.
"Thank you," she said and took to her feet.
Suddenly, she paused, her gaze fixed on her phone. "Oh shit. Forty missed calls. Goodness. How do I explain myself? Hey, thank you again. Goodbye."
"You'll be quarantined if you head out," Elvin said to her. "Call someone from the office."
***
Eve dialed her secretary, Priscilla, and placed the phone to her ears, her secretary picked.
"Have I missed any meeting?" Eve asked.
"No," her secretary said. "You're not coming to work, are you?"
"I am supposed to. Why?"
"No one is in the office. No one reported to work today."
"Is this a joke?"
"No, it is not."
"Exactly. So, why didn't anyone turn up to work? Do they want to be fired?"
"The government issued a lockdown. There's been an incident. People are falling unconscious. No one is safe."
Eve slightly turned to look at Elvin who was still silently watching, she looked away. "When did this happen?"
"Last night." Priscilla moaned.
"Are you okay, Priscilla?"
"No, no. I mean, I'm fine."
"You don't seem fine. I can hear your breathing. Why are you breathing hard..."
"Faster. Faster. Uh."
Eve arched a brow, knew what Priscilla was doing or engaged with, and she hung up. She turned to Elvin. "What happened last night?" She hoped he understood and made no reference to the sex.
"The government has been unable to say exactly. I tried to see the nine O'clock news but it's blank. There's nothing on the screen."
"Are you kidding me?"
"If you listen, you can hear the wails of sirens."
"Those are from ambulances. Not the emergency alarm," Eve said, wondering if he thought her dumb.
"I know. They are going after other victims. Really, no one is allowed out," Elvin said. "I wish I was lying to you, but I'm not."
Eve saw the bulge in his shorts, and she saw him quickly turn away. What was he thinking? That she would be trapped here with him and that they would become bedmates. Not happening. She had a house, and a life that she needed to go back to. But she seemed closer to danger if she stepped outside. If people were falling unconscious for no reason, best she keeps to herself and stay right here with this stranger.
That bulge she hadn't missed, it had been in her last night. The way this man, whoever he was, looked at her with longing, she could tell that he wanted more. Last night was amazing. Totally breathtaking. But it was supposed to stop at that. Last night. Why were they still together?
How had she even ran into him again? Yes. She had seen her fiance with another lady, and although she was supposed to be meeting someone at a restaurant she arrived at, she had gone to drown herself at the bar across the street.
Eve looked at her phone to see her fiance, no, her ex-fiance had left her lots of messages, and she deleted them without reading them. She didn't want to know the content. She didn't want to break down before this stranger.
He seemed nice. He had prepared breakfast in bed for her, something her fiance, no, damn it, ex-fiance had never done.
Just when he was about to leave, she said, "Sorry for doubting you. I don't normally wake naked in strange beds."
Elvin turned to face her, and she saw the bulge in his shorts was no longer there. "It's okay."
"I'm Eve O'Neal. What's your name?"
"Elvin Field."
"Such a beautiful name. Well, now, we're no longer strangers." And she hoped he agreed. "However, if we're going to be locked in here, I must warn you, last night will have to repeat itself. I don't know how long, but till this lockdown is over, it will continue ."
Eve saw the bulge in his shorts return.
"I restocked two days ago," Elvin said, sinking into one of the living room sofas. "Food won't be a problem.""What about clothes?" Eve asked. "I only brought this dress I'm wearing.""I can help you with some of my clothes."Eve eyed him. "How about we both stay naked." She smiled. "Won't that be better?"Why that may have been a good idea, Elvin didn't like what it was doing between his thighs, so he crossed his legs and wished he was wearing a baggy trouser. That way, it could conceal... Wait. Baggy."I have some baggy clothes," Elvin said. "You can wear those.""What's your plan? To make me loo
Driblets of water trickled down Eve's body as she bent her head over the steamy shower. The water made her feel clean, and it made her think nasty things. Alone with a man in his house, she thought. That had been a success.What other games could she play on him? Maybe a game of him never missing a shower with her. Maybe one that would hold him glued to her. Eve shook her head, unsure of what she was doing.Every man was a dog with a whistle. She just had to blow his. With that, she sent a hand between her legs, she pushed two fingers inside her and began to move at a fast pace. Her moan would escape the bathroom walls. He wasn't far away. He would answer when he heard her. She just had to be taken with what she was doing.And now, this was her game. She hoped he fell for it.***
Is there nothing I will say that would make you put on some clothes?" Elvin asked as he sat with Eve during dinner.Beneath her tempting form, Elvin had come to know Eve was a great cook. Her meal assaulted his senses just as her physical form did."There's nothing you can say that would make me change my mind," Even said, and gave a girly laugh.What was it about her? Why was he so drawn to her? No lady, naked or clothed, had stirred him as much as Eve did. She was tempting to be with, but Elvin didn't want to be with her because he wanted someone else."Perhaps, there's something I'll do which would make you change your mind," Elvin said.Curious, Eve leaned forward over her meal and asked, "What is it?""What else, if not multiple orgasms. And I mean the kind
"One hour," Elvin said to his nude reflection in the mirror hanging on the wall of the bathroom. He hadn't tried it before. He wasn't sure he would last that long."One hour," he repeated to himself like he needed his mind to register the time frame. What had made him agree to this? Yes, he needed her to put on some clothes to stop the bulge in his trouser, and his need from aching every time he saw her, which was literally all the time. He needed a little bit of control over himself again, and if this was the price, his mind better be ready for it.Elvin looked down at his need, he was still limp and sensitive. Around his feet on the white tiles of the bathroom floor, you could spot the sticky, white, milky substance, he turned on the tap to wash them off."I'm waiting," Eve called out.Elvin turned off the tap, he wal
"Do you really have to?" Eve asked, somewhat scared that he would pull it off."I just want to see you in some clothes, Love," Elvin said. "Now, would you lie on your back for me?"Eve moved to the very bed that had marked her defeat yesterday. "So, how does this work? Would there be foreplay?" Her curiosity piqued her interest. The thrill to experience something that had never been done to her kept her on edge."Yes. It's basically foreplay with minimal sex. Well, the sex only gets to be when you want it. But mostly, I'll have my tongue deep inside you."The thought alone made her wet. "Okay," Eve said, and moved to lie on the bed.Elvin joined her in the bed naked, and he kissed her. He kissed her like he had all the time in the world, and she loved the taste of his lips, even though she had kissed him a thousand times. He broke the kiss and kissed her forehead, earlobe, nose,
Elvin felt pleased to see Eve get into one of his shirts. He had the air of victory around him as he watched her button up. Her hair was still moist from the bath she just took, and he wanted her to sit her naked butt on his lap while he took in her scent."So, how does victory feel?" Eve asked, turning sideways to look at him. She was struggling with one of the buttons."Come, let me help you with that," Elvin said.Eve released it and walked up to him, and Elvin could see her plump, juicy breasts, and the dotted points of her nipples through his shirt. He helped her with the button.It was quite easy to fix, and when he looked up, he found her smiling at him."You did that deliberately, didn't you?" Elvin asked, watching her back away.Eve didn't answer. Instea
"My ex, Lisa, we began dating through this game, truth or dare," Elvin said. "She dared me to date her, and probably because she knew I liked her, I asked her out immediately. We sealed it with a kiss, and we had sex. It sounded silly, so we didn't tell anyone. Our life was a game, filled with lots of cards, and activity, and the winner made the loser do things, anything at all, the loser had to do it...it was beautiful. I never saw myself sharing with anybody, but we did talk of the idea every now and then."One day, she included friends, on her request. She said she was dared to, and she wouldn't say who dared her, only that she wasn't playing the game alone with me. But, that I shouldn't assume she was sleeping with other guys, which truthfully, I didn't assume. We played the game with those we invited, kisses were dared and accepted and so much happened. Our guests left, and our lives ret
Nothing changed even after talking about their most recent relationships. But Elvin, not wanting to dig up any more dirty, buried secrets avoided all talks about the past. Instead, he decided that they best broach a topic about the future."So, would you say you're living your dream?" Elvin asked."Not yet," Eve said, as expected. "I have a lot of things I need to do. So much. But at the moment, I try not to think about it.""Why not?"Eve smiled. "Because we're observing a lockdown."They both laughed."Right," Elvin said."So, what about
