Chapter 4. Noa's kiss

Noa pulls Violeta closer and drags her towards the sink, placing her round butt on the countertop.

"You want to go outside and dance with just anyone?" he says quietly to her as the young woman's eyes widen. "Is that what you want?" He grabs her by the chin and squeezes it gently.

"Hey!" Violeta's gray eyes opened even wider when she saw her friend's brother looking at her intensely.

"I don't think you want to see me angry."

"What?!" She didn't understand Noa's attitude. Why was he acting that way?

"You'd better be a good girl and not cause any problems."

Violeta quickly pulls away from Noa's arms and stares at him. Her eyes are wide open, and her heart is beating quickly. She felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach.

She blinked a few times and quickly left the bathroom, almost running. As soon as she encountered the commotion, she felt a little disoriented. She looked at all the people and went to where her friends were.

She sees Lucia laughing nonstop, so she stands next to her.

"You took a long time. Were you kissing someone, friend?" Lucia was very drunk, and her playful tone was funny and distorted.

"Lucia, you've had too much to drink. Don't you think it's time to stop?"

"Noooo... No, how could you think that?" The blonde hugs her friend like they're sisters. "The night is still young," he said.

Her tone was getting more and more harsh. Her companions were just like Lucia; they could hardly stand up. Luckily, she threw up in the bathroom and started to feel a little better, but she was still a little dizzy, especially after that encounter in the bathroom.

She stops thinking about it and holds on to her friend, who can no longer stand up.

"Lucia, we have to go home. That's enough."

"What are you talking about? Of course not, the night is still young."

With that, she took another glass and drank. Her friends did the same and started jumping around like crazy. She looked at them all and stood there, not knowing what to do. She thought about looking for Lucia's brother to get her out of there, but then she remembered that he was probably flirting with that woman.

"Instead of taking care of his sister, he's flirting with every woman he meets."

"But look at that cute little butt we have here." Violeta jumps when she hears a voice she doesn't recognize. When she turns around, she sees a stranger staring at her in a harassing way. "You're so pretty. How about we dance a little?"

"No, thank you."

"Why not?" He looks at her friends. "Your friends are drunk."

The man grabs her by the wrist and pulls her to the middle of the dance floor without her permission. Violeta tries to resist, but the man grabs her by the waist and forces her body against his.

"I told you I don't want to dance. Let go of me right now."

"They all end up dancing with me, and in the end, the back of the club is a good place to have sex."

Violeta is shocked and tries to push the stranger away, but he grabs her buttocks instead.

"What are you doing, moron?" She tries to push him away, but he pushes his hand further, trying to grab her vagina. She moves away, and he squeezes her body tighter.

"Come on, don't be difficult."

Out of nowhere, Violeta watches the man being forcibly removed. Then, a broad back appears before her, and she blinks.

"What are you thinking?" Noa challenges the young man in front of him.

"What do you want, old man? This is between me and the little bitch, so don't get involved."

Noa punches the young man in the face. The young man falls to the ground. His face is covered in blood. He tries to grab him again, but Violeta stops him.

"No!" He looks at her angrily, and quickly grabs Violeta by the waist, carrying her over his shoulder.

He walks with her on his shoulder down the middle of the dance floor until they leave the nightclub.

"What are you doing? Put me down right now," she yells, feeling uncomfortable.

"I told you I didn't want to see you dancing with anyone, and that's the first thing you did. Damn it, you don't listen."

"I didn't agree to dance with that guy. He took me by force."

He gets angry and walks to his car. He opens the door and forces her inside. Violeta stares at him with wide eyes and a racing heart.

"You stay there!"

"What?"

He locks the car and goes back into the club to look for his crazy sister, who is now completely drunk. He still remembers when he came out of the bathroom and saw Violeta dancing with that awful man who was touching her without her permission.

He clenched his teeth as he hurried across the dance floor toward his sister, but halfway there he ran into the guy he had hit.

"It was that guy.

He was with two other guys, and Noa, who was so angry, didn't hesitate to attack first. He punched the guy who had been touching Violeta inappropriately in the face again, followed by the second guy, but the third guy punched him in the mouth.

Noa tasted her own blood and spat it out. She looked at the guy and punched him as hard as she could. The three of them fell to the ground while the spectators stood in a circle around them, cheering on the fight.

"Sons of bitches..."

She walked over to where her sister was about to fall to the ground, picked her up, and carried her away.

"Damn it, I don't like being a babysitter. You and your mother are going to pay for this."

"Noa, what are you doing? I..."

But the young woman throws up halfway there, splattering Noa's jacket. The CEO clenches his jaw as he feels the warm liquid slide down his back.

"Damn it, Lucia, I'm going to make you pay for this."

"No," she says, her voice soft and sad.

When he gets to the car, he sees Violeta banging on the window. He unlocks the car and throws his sister into the back seat as soon as he opens the door. She was already asleep, and that's no surprise. He takes off his coat and throws it in the trunk.

"Oh, Lucia," Violeta says, gently touching her friend's cheek when she sees her unconscious.

"Happy birthday," she says to Noa, who sits in the driver's seat. He looks angry, and she frowns when she sees a thin trickle of blood running from the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you bleeding?" He wipes his mouth and looks at the blood, frowns a little more, and starts the car.

"It's nothing."

"Did you get into a fight?"

"I said it's nothing."

"You fought with that guy. Why did you do that? Don't you see that..."

But Noah doesn't let her finish speaking as he approaches her, takes her cheeks in his hands, and kisses her fiercely and passionately.

Of course, Violeta is shocked by this sudden attack. She looks at Noa's face, which is so firm and determined that it immediately makes her feel heartbroken. At that moment, she feels his tongue enter her mouth, which makes her gasp.

She hits Noa's shoulders in response to this theft, but he doesn't move away from her. Instead, he deepens the kiss and pulls her body a little closer. She tries to resist, but her lips begin to relax and let themselves go.

It was her first kiss, and she never imagined it would feel this way or make her feel so many amazing things in the pit of her stomach.

Until she comes back to reality and pushes him away, Violeta stares at Noa with wide eyes, blinking occasionally as she realizes she kissed her best friend's brother.

"You... Why?"

"It's time to go."

Noa starts the car while staring at him, not saying a word as she keeps her body tense. Her heartbeat continues to beat very fast. What did that mean?

They arrive at the house shortly after. Noa parks the car and takes his sister out. Violeta also gets out and follows him, but not too closely. She can't stop thinking about that kiss. She swallows hard and licks her lips.

The CEO arrives at his sister's room and throws her on the bed, noticing how bad she looks. He shakes his head and turns around to see Violeta standing in the doorway.

"Should I take you home?"

"No, I'll spend the night here."

Noa walks toward the door while looking at him. When he is a few steps away from her, he stops and crosses his arms.

"You're sleeping here, how interesting. Your uncle is very kind, isn't he?" Violeta becomes nervous when she hears those words. "What does the old man think? That you had a sleepover with my sister?"

"What?" Noa puts her against the doorframe and sees that her cheeks are red.

"Don't be fooled. I know you aren't allowed to go to that club. You ran away. I'm sure you told your uncle a little white lie so he would let you go out."

"No," she says in a small, scared voice.

Noa smiles in a playful way and moves his face close to Violeta's until he feels her breathing, which shows that she is nervous.

"I'll keep your little secret, but you'll keep ours," he says, sliding his thumb across her lips.

"Secret?" she says innocently.

"The kiss! Will you keep it?" he whispers, almost against her mouth.

"I will," she replies, nervous and blushing.

"I think you will..."

The CEO kisses her, leaving a little bit of spit, and then he pulls away. He looks at her sideways and smiles in a playful way.

"Keep it safe, Violeta," he says, breathing against her mouth. "Keep it safe..."

"Ah!" she says, sounding a little disappointed, just as he moves away from her lips.

She blinks, and then she hears Noa's footsteps in the hallway. She puts her hand on her chest and feels it beating rapidly.

"What the hell? What was all that?"

She looks over at Noa, who is entering a room next to her friend's. When she sees no one in the hallway, she relaxes, looks down, and closes her eyes, holding the doorframe.

"Damn..."

She looks at her friend, who is passed out on the bed, and feels guilty. How could she have let her brother kiss her? What was she allowing?

"This is so wrong. I let Noah kiss me. Why did I let him?"

Then she bites her lip as she thinks about that man's mouth. It was so big, so mature, so attractive. He was different from the other boys at school. Noa was different. He was a real man. But then she shakes her head.

"What am I thinking? He's my best friend's brother. I can't see him that way. What's wrong with me?"

She enters the room and closes the door. It was too emotional for one night.
