TEST DRIVE: A Night of Forbidden Desire

“A-a-what?” The guy stammered.

Vonda grinned widely, and his hesitant voice seemed to ignite a fire within her, making her crawl closer from the passenger seat she had been sitting in.

Vonda got even closer to the guy, half-crawling, with both knees on the passenger seat, bridging the gap between them. The guy’s face showed shock and anticipation.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Miss, uh? What are you doing?” he asked.

Vonda’s eyes moved wildly, examining the handsome face before her. She mumbled softly while showing off her smooth shoulders.

“Am I pretty?”

Glek!

“Am I beautiful?”

“Uh… that…”

Kring!

The ringing of the phone diverted the guy’s attention. Vonda also looked puzzled.

“That’s not my phone’s ringtone.”

The guy tried to withdraw. “It’s my phone, Miss. I want to answer it first.”

Hearing that, Vonda pulled her hand away from his face, but it did not mean she was moving away. She still maintained her half-crawling position.

With trembling hands, the guy tried to reach for his phone in such a limited space. He was not surprised when he saw who was calling.

Lucas Hernandez is calling…

Quickly, he answered the call. “Hello, Luc.”

Vonda took a deep breath, trying to keep herself conscious, which was becoming increasingly difficult.

“Max, where are you? You’ve been missing since the party ended.”

Damn it! The guy cursed inwardly.

“Luc, I didn’t mean not to come. I swear! I was on my way here. I had already arrived at the hotel, but suddenly, I-”

“Oh, man,” Vonda’s sigh interrupted the guy’s words. “Let’s end the call, okay? We said we were going for playing ‘horsey’ in the car. The road is quiet now, so let’s take advantage of it.”

What?!

The guy nearly choked on his saliva.

This girl is truly insane!

“Ehm… Maxwell Hernandez.”

Lucas’s voice on the other end made Max realize the gravity of the situation. People would surely misunderstand Vonda’s words just now.

“I had no idea that you were busy with-”

“Luc, not like that.”

Vonda sighed again. “Shall we go to my place instead?”

Shiiit!

“Alright, Max. I’ll make an exception this time.”

Max panicked. “Lucas! Luc! Luc-”

Click!

The call ended.

Max angrily squeezed his phone for a moment before tossing it carelessly onto the dashboard. He turned to Vonda.

“Are you really insane?” he asked, fuming. “Do you know who was calling me just now?”

Innocently, Vonda shook her head. “Wasn’t it Andrew?”

Max closed his eyes dramatically. “Oh my God. Is there a customs officer who’s holding a grudge against this car or something? Why is it that the first time I use it, I end up meeting a crazy drunk girl like you?”

Vonda clearly ignored Max’s rant, which only made him stare in disbelief. “So, who was it?”

“It was my cousin. He’s closest to my mom, and do you know what kind of trouble your moans can cause?”

Vonda shook her head, and he slapped his forehead. “Can we stop talking about that? Let’s just playing ‘horsey’.”

Max clenched the steering wheel with frustration. “Oh, God. This is really testing my patience.”

“Huh!”

Vonda snorted roughly. “And am I the only one testing your patience? I’ve been patient this whole time!”

After saying that, Vonda unexpectedly grabbed Max’s hand without warning and pressed her lips to his.

Max widened his eyes. Vonda was really kissing a complete stranger with such audacity that it could make anyone lose face on this planet.

“How about it?” Vonda asked with a smile, pulling away from the brief kiss, enjoying Max’s shocked expression, frozen in place. “Should I kiss you again?”

Max tried to compose himself. Fumbling, he tried to speak, but Vonda acted again.

Vonda’s lips greeted Max once more. And unlucky for him, it was not just a mere touch of their lips. It was not an ordinary kiss.

Vonda took advantage of Max’s intention to speak and swiftly slid her tongue between his lips.

Max was taken aback, but Vonda was too quick, immediately tangling their lips together and kissing him as if it was the most natural thing to do.

Vonda’s lips moved somewhat clumsily. It was rushed and awkward, but still, it kindled a fire inside Max.

Max felt Vonda’s hand move up, cupping his jaw on one side, giving it a gentle stroke, and he heard Vonda moan.

Kiss.

Touch.

Moan.

Max closed his eyes.

Is this girl really insane or has she lost her mind?

Nevertheless, Vonda was really kissing him. Deepening the kiss, making Max feel breathless.

Max’s hand then rose to grip Vonda’s hand on his face, causing her to startle and immediately pull away from the kiss. Vonda looked at Max with confusion in her eyes.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” Max asked. It was embarrassing, but even he felt his voice sounded heavy at that moment.

For real, I’m just a normal guy.

Vonda gazed at Max, wearing a mysterious smile as she replied softly, her warm breath caressing Max’s face.

“Yes, I do. I know. I want you to help me forget my heartache. I may be a normal woman, and just because I don’t want to do anything with my ex, doesn’t mean I’m not capable of doing anything at all. Somehow, I just don’t want to do it with him.”

Gasp!

“T-then why do you want to do it with me?” Max stammered.

Vonda blinked again, but instead of answering, she pulled Max’s face towards hers and answered with a kiss. Max groaned.

Vonda became even more passionate, demanding, and pressing her lips against Max’s, ignoring his attempts to pull away.

Vonda boldly leaned in, pushing herself closer until their kiss broke and her lips brushed against Max’s freshly shaven jaw, leaving a warm, wet trail on his skin. It sent shivers down Max’s spine, and he found his hands moving.

Vonda gasped as she realized Max had gripped her upper arms tightly. He looked like he was growling.

“Don’t blame me if I eventually end up inviting you for playing ‘horsey’ here,” Max said with a sense of urgency.

Vonda’s smile widened. “That’s what I want.”
