She didn't fight it, nor resist. Eloise closed her eyes as she let him claim her soft lips. She clutched at his shirt harder. The kiss was anything but gentle. It was deep. Fierce. Consuming. She gasped into his mouth and he seized the opportunity to slide his tongue in. Claiming her as thoroughly as his words were. She lets her lips feel the softness of his sinful lips, feels his tongue that had her mind swirling all day. She wrapped her hands around his neck to steady her weakening knees. Consumed by his needful tongue, she didn't mind where he was leading her till her back pressed against the sleek black car. The metal was cool against her spine, but Antonio's heat devoured every coldness out of her. His hand roamed up her sides, over her waist, down to grab her thigh and haul it against his hip. “ El,” he groaned into her mouth, his hardness grinding against her. “ Do you have any idea how long I've wanted this? How long have I wanted you?” Her answer was a broken moan, her
‘ I hope Antonio forgives me, a date with Cecilia around is definitely a date ruined,’ Eloise moaned in her mind, with the thought that she has to apologize to Antonio. She was still thinking when the waitress who was pouring them wine mistakenly spilled some on her. “ Oh God, not again,” she grunted. The waitress immediately began to apologize. It was an exclusive dinner room guests, knowing a word from them could get her fired. Meanwhile, Cecilia's lips twitched into a knowing smile. She gave the waitress a secret thumb up for the job well done. “ I need to use the restroom,” Eloise stood up angrily, even though she told the waitress not to worry. Antonio stood up to follow her causing Cecilia’s heart to jump, afraid her plan will be ruined, but she was immediately grateful when Eloise stopped him. “ Don't worry, I'll be fine,” Eloise said to Antonio, “ You sure?” “ Yeah,” she assured, her lashes batting. Not after what he did to her with the ice cream is she goi
The scent of buttered popcorn and neon heat welcomed Antonio and Eloise as they walked into the arcade, lights blinking everywhere with machines chiming in chaos. “ Can we disappear into any section here?” Eloise whispered to Antonio as she locked her arm into his. Antonio smirked, amused at her torment. “ You invited her, remember? Good Samaritans always get rewarded.” Eloise shot him a glare that could burn holes through steel, but it only made him grin wider. “ Elly! Antonio!” They heard Cecilia's tiny voice calling after them and the echo of her hastening heels catching up to them. “ This place looks fun,” she chirped upon arriving by their side, with her arm looping around her husband's, but her eyes soon moved to Antonio. Eloise clenched her jaw. 'Looks fun until you arrive,’ she grumbled in her mind. Larton, oblivious, already lumbered toward the basketball machine, tossing coins in with childlike glee. “ Darling, win me a teddy bear!” Cecilia called after him, but her
‘ Should I have offered her to join us?’ Eloise questioned herself as her jaw flexed. Antonio, however, didn't bother returning the look. His hands were busy cutting the steaks on his plate into smaller pieces. “ We got married a few months ago,” Eloise replied in his stead. Not pleased about how he hasn't said a thing to her or even glanced her way. It was so unusual cause men couldn't even resist the sound of her sweet, tiny voice. But she masked it with a tinkling laugh, tilting her head. “ Oh, no wonder I'm not aware, maybe because I've not really been around in the country. But I must say—Larton, don't you think Antonio carries himself like a man used to power?” Larton, who was already halfway through his steak chuckled Obligingly. “ Sure, darling. Whatever you say.” Cecilia leaned closer, facing Antonio's direction like she wanted to hit him with the scent of her perfume from across the table. “ I'll try to keep up with our course mates’ updates. I'm sorry I couldn't atte
Like the day wouldn't stop winking at her, bright with normalcy, yet every glance, every pause carried the weight of unspoken feelings that made Eloise's heart stumble.But not only stumble. She felt special and embraced by Antonio's family as she kept looking at the card filled with schedules made by his grandmother.“ We'll have to do all these, right?” She asked, before looking at Antonio.“ Is there anyone you are not comfortable with? We won't do anyone you don't want,”“ No, of course,” she shook her head quickly, lips pressing together as though to trap a smile. “ That'll be disrespectful.”Seeing how she's fighting not to smile, Antonio grinned, finding it so cute and adorable. His eyes trailed from her flushed cheeks to her beautiful black hair that cascaded down her shoulder, to how gorgeously she's dressed.In a black mini gown with thin spaghetti straps and black pointed-toe heels with a black handbag. Her dress was all classy and sophisticated while he was dressed in his
| WOLF RIVER PRISON |Michael’s face was contorted with a frown as the guard led him to the visitation room.‘ But I wasn't expecting any visitor,’ he said in his mind, wondering who it could be.A part of his heart leaped with hope for the visitor to be his wife, while another part was pounding with anxiety. His wife hasn't been picking up his calls, and their last meeting was about their son needing another surgery.The moment the guard led him into the room, Michael’s face dropped. It wasn't his wife, nor was it anyone he recognized.He reluctantly took a seat while staring at the man dressed in a suit and sunglasses sitting at the other side.“ Who are you?” He asked, frowning deeply in disappointment.The unknown man slowly took off his sunglasses. Nothing about him was familiar; he was exuding a dangerous and cold aura, but the black mole at the corner of his eye stood out.“ Mr. Michael, not a pleasure meeting you,” he said plainly, “ which is why I'll be going straight to the
