Chapter 9 Raphael's POV

She's stunning. She was sporting a tan colored shirt and a lighter shade of purple shorts. Everything about her is perfect. Her thin hourglass figure, and her long dark hair. Her curls complemented her big light brown eyes and full pink lips. And her breast... Her breast rested so perfectly on her chest with the most perfect shade of brown nip-. Fuck, her shirts see through. She had that look of need on her face. Shit! Think of, uh, Pokémon, or animals. Hell! Think of Nana!

Nothing's working with her standing here. I could feel my erection growing little by little. I must have been staring because her arms shot up and shielded her breast from my vision.

"I should go change," Ondina said with a shade of red blushing her cheeks.

She turned stiffly and walked down the hall. My eyes landed on her ass. Shit. There's no way I'm gonna fix this problem. Preparing for a wait, I sat on the left side of the couch. Ondina resurfaced after about twenty minutes, and thankfully my erection had gone down. She was wearing a black t-shirt that showed off a few inches of her stomach with grey leggings, red slippers, and a black and white plaid shirt tied fashionably around her waist.

She had left her hair in a ponytail and applied lip gloss. Even with her dressed like that, she was still beautiful. Ondina approached me and sat next to me on the couch.

"So what made you finally decide to come visit me?" She asked. Once I opened my mouth to respond, the doorbell rang.

A door visible across from my position in the hallway burst open, exposing every shade of pink, and out came Camille, sprinting to the door.

"I got it!" Camille said.

"Thought you were gonna stay in the room," Ondina said with a smile.

"Haha," Camille said and flung the door open.

"Jassy-poo I missed you!" Camille jumped up and Rapped her legs around the guy's waist.

He had copper hair and green eyes. He staggered back a few steps before he wrapped his arms around her.

"Feels like I'm invading their privacy just staring." I spoke quietly in Ondinas ear.

"They're always like that," she replied.

"We'll be in my room if you need us," Camille stated.

"But don't need us."

"Ew," Ondina responded with a look of disgust on her face, causing me to smile. Once her roommate closed her bedroom door, it suddenly became quiet.

"Now, you were about to tell me what caused this unexpected visit." Ondina reminded me.

"Oh. Yes. I'm throwing this gala at The Geniva Palace and I wanted you to come as my date." A look of shock covered Ondinas face.

Suddenly I became nervous. What am I nervous about?

"Oh." That's all she can say? Oh? Shit! She's gonna reject me.

"Wait, you're hosting it? Like your party?"

"Yes. And no. It's not a party for me, it's more of a fundraiser for charity." Confusion crossed her face. Ondina frowned at me.

"What do you do exactly? Are you like, into party planning or something?" The realization hit me. She doesn't know who I am. Now isn't that refreshing?

"I'm an investor," I said with a laugh. Feeling the need to further explain, I continued.

"Each gala is for different charities. Last year it was for feeding the poor, but this year it's for a new research facility whose main focus is on the development of breast cancer and how to prevent it." Ondina frowned as she looked at me.

She rubbed her index finger and thumb together in a circular motion in the air like there was an invisible string holding her hand up with a look that said she was deep in thought, then she looked away, biting her lip. Ugh, I really wish she wouldn't do that.

"That's amazing. So is it like an entry fee that goes to charities?"

"No, the entry fee helps pay for staff and food. The company pays for entertainment, and the bidding is the fundraiser."

"So what exactly do people bid on?" Ondina asked, now curious.

"They bid on different things, such as jewelry, and antiques, but this year, it's gonna be art." A smile spread across her face.

"I love art. Very much so."

"That's great. The art is gonna be amazing. We've had a lot of amazing pieces donated." Ondina stood, and walked over to the kitchen with a slight swing in her hips, drawing my attention to her ass again as she retrieved her coffee.

Damn. She grabbed the bag of donuts and walked back to the couch with the same switch in her step and sat next to me, closer than she was before. She looked me over before she spoke.

"And you want me to go as your date?" Ondina took a big bite out of a chocolate-covered donut and the look of pure delight crossed her face.

That caused a smile to spread upon my own. She grabbed hold of a glazed donut and extended it to me. Her hands were so small and delicate compared to mine.

"Yes, yes I do." A sudden rush of panic washed through me. My heart started to beat faster. She's gonna reject me.

"When exactly is this... gala?" She pursed her lips, while her eyebrows went up in curiosity.

"Funny you should ask... It's tonight."

Ondina POV

"Tonight?" Ondinas voice leveled up an octave.

"Where am I gonna get a dress so last minute?" Before Raphael could answer, Camille's room door opened.

"Oh, you definitely do have a dress!"

" Seriously Cami? What, have you been listening this whole time?"

"But of course, my pretty, and I have the perfect dress you could borrow." Ondina looked at her best friend in utter disbelief.

Camille stood in the hall smiling as widely as she ever did. Ondina blushed when her eyes met Raphael's face. A smirk shadowed his lips.

"Even if I wanted to be your date, I can't because I have work-"

"Seriously Onny? You and I know that's bullshit!"

"Damn it, Camille, go back in your room!" Ondina yelled at her roommate.

Irritation fumed off her. Taking the hint, Camille closed her room door. Ondina lowered her gaze to her hands. She felt Raphael shift next to her. He cleared his throat, averting her attention from her hands and up into his eyes.

"You're trying to reject me... If I didn't know better, I'd think I make you nervous." Ondina's heart fluttered at his accusation.

A smile played onto his lips, causing Ondina to bite her.

Raphael's POV

If she keeps that up, I'm gonna be taking her more places than the Gala. No longer able to keep from touching her, I grabbed hold of her hand.

"Just say yes." Uncertainty still stained her face.

"I promise you will enjoy it." Her eyes locked onto my lips as I smirked.

A look of want danced around her face. So I'm not the only one feeling this chemistry... what to do, what to do. I placed my left hand on her right thigh and watched her intently. Searching for an invitation. She slightly parted her mouth and unconsciously licked her lips. Her eyes gleamed with desire. There it is. I slowly moved my hand up her thigh.

"Please, say yes." I pleaded, no longer asking about the gala.

Lust pooled in her eyes, causing the strongest erection I had ever received.

"Yes." She responded in the sweetest soft voice I had ever heard.

Unable to resist, I placed my left hand on her right hip and pulled her into me. A moan escaped her lips as she leaned in. No longer able to wait, I covered her mouth with mine. We melted into each other; claiming each other's mouths as our own. She pulled me in closer to her and I accepted.

I could feel my dick throbbing, pressing up against my trousers; growing harder to the feel of her breast pushing up against my chest. Her kisses became desperate. I could feel her need. I placed my hand between her thighs and applied pressure.

Another moan escaped her lips. Her moans were enough encouragement for me. I caressed her pussy over her leggings, wishing there wasn't any fabric acting as a barrier to my touch and relished, in her sweet soft moans. Fuck! I could feel myself filling while she approached her own climax.

"No!" Ondina whispered and pushed at my chest.

I immediately pulled away. All the blood rushing back to my head. What happened?

"I'm sorry," I studied her face. A look of pain ripped through her eyes and pierced my heart.

"I should have asked permission." Ondina's eyes shot up at me.

"No. Don't be sorry... I'm sorry." She responded.

Okay, now I'm confused.

"Ondina, I really like you. I should have been more patient with you... if you don't want to accompany me tonight I fully understa-" Ondina's hands shot to my face.

She placed the softest kiss on my lips.

"I would love to be your date." She had finally accepted my invitation.

"That was lovely... Thank you." She looked dazed. Okay, now I am even more confused than I was the first time.

"I was just overwhelmed is all." Ondina stated, as if she was trying to reassure my mind.

"What time should I be ready?" She looked at me so innocently.

I was beginning to wonder exactly how innocent she was.

"I'll have the car pick you up at 7."

"The car?" A genuine smile broke across my face.

It really is refreshing to have someone not know who I am, and it was very pleasing for it to be her.
