Monique’s heart dropped. Henry intended to let her make a fool of herself in public—it was his way of reminding her of her status.She would do as he pleases and dance then. It was not the first time she would be mocked by others anyway.Furthermore, did he think that she would be the only one who would be publicly embarrassed?Monique raised her chin defiantly and stared at Henry. “Teach me then!”“Why should I teach you? Look at how others dance and just follow them,” he replied with a raised brow.Monique clenched her jaw and began to imitate their movements. However, dancing was still too foreign for her. She kept stepping onto other people’s feet, sometimes even Henry’s as well.She felt a strange sense of satisfaction when she saw Henry frowning. She thought, ‘Serves you right! Who told you to make me do this, you punk!’The panicked expression on her face gradually transformed into a small grin.The people dancing around them were annoyed after being stepped on by Moniqu
Monique planned to step back after planting a few kisses, but Henry threaded his slender fingers into her long locks and gently held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.He kissed her until she was out of breath, slowly losing her senses as she forgot where she was and how to breathe. She felt as though she no longer had control of her body and her heartbeat.Monique was of the opinion that if he did not have his arms around her, she might have collapsed to the floor.He continued to kiss her for quite a while before he stopped. Her face was bright red from blushing, she was also gasping for air as if her brain was depleted from oxygen.“How initiative of you,” he said in a sexy and magnetic voice. There was mockery in his tone, with an underlying hint of happiness.He glanced through the crowd and saw that Nick was no longer standing at the corner.He wanted to show him that she was his and no one was allowed to touch her. He was pleasantly surprised when she initiated th
Monique was just Henry’s lover, it did not matter if he believed her.He could give her to someone else whenever he pleased without any reason.That was why Monique did not bother why Henry mentioned Star River Residence. She had no idea what he was up to, but it was none of her concern.She was just a speck of dust in his hand. He would let her go one day and that would be when she regained her freedom.It was just a matter of time, and she was willing to wait.She kept quiet while she watched the passing scenery through the car window. He was also silent, his eyes half-closed.The car parked in front of Star River Residence.It was an upper-class residential area in a serene and secluded area located in the middle of the bustling city.It also had beautiful landscaping. Henry walked in with Monique following right behind him.The lift stopped at the eighth floor. Henry opened the door and Monique entered after him.The interior decoration was very luxurious. Monique was uns
Henry leisurely replied a gentle “Uhm” with his magnetic voice.He uncrossed his long legs and stood up. He then removed his suit in an elegant manner.Henry slowly unbuttoned his pastel shirt until they were all released, exposing his attractive clavicle, muscular chests, and the perfect Apollo’s belt.His movements were elegant yet casual, unbothered by the fact that there was a woman standing in front of him.Monique’s heart was pounding as though it was about to burst out of her chest. His perfect figure and flawless features were too beguiling.It was difficult not to be distracted by such an enticing sight.Monique—who was such a reserved person—could not stop herself from blushing.She turned her head away and averted her gaze, but she could not resist stealing a few glances from the corner of her eye.She should not fall for him again. He just said that he would give her to someone else.Even though Henry was Monique’s weakness, she was also a human being with emotions
Henry’s hurtful words were ringing in her brain. Monique felt as though her heart was tearing apart. It was his way of telling her that she did not have a choice. Monique clenched a fist and thought it was just a bath. They had slept together before already anyway…Monique turned off the emotional turmoil inside of her and pursed her lips. She then put on the same polite and demure smile. “Umm...”She turned her head in another direction and bypassed him to enter the bathroom.Henry curled his lips in amusement and watched as she suppressed her feelings and scrambled her way to the bathroom.Her adorable expression tempted him to tease her further.Henry walked in without a single piece of clothing on his body.At first, Monique was facing the bath, refraining herself from looking at him. Nevertheless, when he was slowly approaching, she could not resist lifting her head to look at him.There he was, laying bare in front of her. She saw all of him.Her face flushed bright red i
“Look at you, so impatient,” Henry teased.Monique stood there speechless as if she was struck by lightning. She watched Henry step into the bathtub casually and his body disappeared into the water.She almost exploded in anger. Was he trying to make her lose her mind?Impatient!? Who was the impatient one?!‘Calm down, Monique. He’s intentionally provoking you,’ she thought.Henry teased her on purpose. She would not let him get what he wants.Monique bit her lips and stayed quiet while she took the towel to scrub his back.Monique tried to avoid looking at the sensitive area, but when her hands accidentally touched his skin, she felt a jolt of electricity and retracted her hands immediately.Henry’s lips curved silently when he saw her reddened ears and the range of emotions on her face.Monique was stunned for a bit and she mocked herself. They had just shared an intimate night the day before!She then put her hands back onto his back and started scrubbing.Her eyes kept
Monique threw the towel into the bathtub, causing a splash. “Is this funny to you?”Henry wiped away the water droplets on his face and said, “Passable.”Monique gritted her teeth and forced out the words. “Don’t overdo it.”“But I want to.” Henry smirked, challenging her.Monique felt like drowning the incorrigible man in the bathtub.She was exasperated.The thought was turned into action.She pressed down on the man’s back with all her weight.It was an unexpected turn of events and Henry was pushed down into the water. He was filled with anger and amusement.However, Henry Moore was not a pushover.He would have his revenge.His hand shot out from the water and grabbed Monique’s arm, tugging her into the bathtub.Monique’s smaller stature made fighting back impossible. Henry pulled her into his embrace.The bathtub had enough space to fit two bodies comfortably.Monique glared at the handsome face before her. How did she end up in the bathtub? Clearly, her plan had fa
Monique tasted the coppery tang of blood on her tongue. She unclenched her jaw and saw her handiwork. Blood oozed out from the wound as she let out a cry. “I really thought you wanted to send me off.”Something flashed in Henry’s eye when he realized she was afraid of being sent away.The fact that Monique wanted to stay by his side made him happy. He softened his tone as he said, “Fortunately, you had the sense to come back to me, else you would’ve given me no choice but to send you away.”As tears streamed down her face, she stuttered, “You weren’t worried I would leave with him?”Henry carried her out of the bathtub and gave her a sly grin. “And leave Angel to me?”His words were half joking and half serious.“In your dreams.” Monique’s expression shifted immediately, the crying woman was gone. “Angel is just a child. Don’t you dare drag her into this. If you hurt a hair on her head, I’ll kill you!”The threat was delivered in all seriousness.Henry’s lips twitched. What was
