chapter three

ELENA’S POV

“What the hell are you doing in my room?” My voice trembled, even though I tried to sound fierce;

My heart thudded so violently I could hear it echo in my ears.

Adrian smiled, softly;

He slipped his phone into his pocket and took a step forward, “Relax, sweetheart. I just wanted to confirm something.”

“Confirm what?” I clutched the towel tighter around me, my pulse hammering beneath my skin, “You can’t just walk in here like that, this is my room!”

He tilted his head, eyes glinting with amusement. “Your room, huh?” His voice was taunting “Funny. Because I took the phone number of the woman I met in that hotel room that night… straight from her phone before I left. Thought I’d call it and see who picked up.”

My stomach twisted, “You what?”

His smirk deepened, “And look what we have here, Mrs Harrison. Why are you answering the call?”

I froze. My throat went dry;

“Why would you invade someone’s privacy like that?” I managed to whisper. “That’s illegal, and completely insane.”

Adrian took another slow, measured step closer. “Illegal?” he echoed mockingly. “You think I care about that?”

I backed away instinctively, one step, then another, until my back hit the wall. The cold surface pressed against my spine as his body closed in on mine;

He stopped just inches away, his eyes dark and searching. “You really think I wouldn't recognise the woman I spent the night with?”

His voice dropped to a whisper that crawled over my skin,“You’re either another woman by day and someone else by night, or…”

I swallowed hard waiting for his next words.

He chuckled, humorlessly, “You’ve been married to Aldric for three months. Knowing my brother, there’s no way in hell you were still a virgin when I met you that night. Unless…” His gaze darkened, scanning my face. “You’re not my brother’s wife at all.”

My hands trembled as I pressed them against the wall behind me. “What rubbish are you saying?”

He smirked, his voice laced with quiet triumph, “What are you doing here? And where is the real Elara, your twin sister?”

The words hit me like a slap;

I could barely breathe with his judging gaze on me.

He knew. There was no way I was going to lie my way out of this.

My chest tightened painfully as I met his gaze, “Why are you doing this, Adrian?” I whispered, forcing the words out, “What do you want from me?”

His expression shifted to something darker, “What do I want?” he repeated, stepping even closer until there was barely an inch between us.

“Yes,” I said, my voice cracking. “Please. Just, don’t tell Aldric anything. I’ll do whatever you want, just don’t say a word to him.”

“Careful what you promise, sweetheart,” he leaned into my neck, his breath hot against my skin as he whispered in my ear, “You might not be able to handle it.”

I swallowed hard, clenching my fist as I trembled in fear

“What do you want from me,” I sneered even though the word burned in my throat. “

His hand shot up, pressing against the wall beside my head, caging me in;

His other hand brushed the edge of my jaw, tilting my face up to his.

“I couldn't stop thinking about the woman that made me feel so much desire and lose my sense of control after a long time,” I could feel his breath directly on my lips

“I wanted to meet her again, to have a taste of her again, every inch of her and when I met you this evening, every nerve in my body recognised you,”

My heart was pounding in my chest. I parted my lips to talk but nothing came out.

Our eyes were locked on each other and I could see the lust and desire in his eyes.

His fingers trailed down my wet body from my neck to my collarbone, “What do you think I want, Elena?”

Before I could respond, he pulled the knot of my towel and It fell to the ground, exposing my naked body, in front of him;

I gasped, covering my breast immediately, “What the fuck are you doing?” I tried to pick my towel from the ground;

But he pulled me back up and held my two hands above my head with one hand.

“Let me go, Adrian.” I struggled to get my hands free but he didn't budge, “You can’t do this.”

His eyes scanned my naked body from my legs to my face, “I want you, Elena. Every inch of you.”

Before I could respond, he kissed me without warning. His lips devoured mine like a hungry beast, demanding and possessive.

I gasped as he bit my lips, giving him access to shove his entire tongue in my mouth while he squeeze my boobs;

An involuntary moan escaped my throat as he deepened the kiss, urging me to kiss him back.

I could feel the need in his kiss and my body reacted to it.

My lips began to move against his, matching his rhythm as he pressed his body against mine.

He gradually released my hand and wrapped it around his neck; he grabbed my waist while kneading my breast with one hand and playing with my nipples one after the other.

His mouth moved to my neck and sucked hard on it, his other hand moved down to squeeze my butt cheeks,

“Adrian, please stop. We shouldn't be doing this…” I whispered, but it sounded more like a moan of pleasure than a protest, “Aldric will…”

“I don't care,” He cut me off, his voice vibrating on my skin.

At this point, I didn't know if I wanted him to stop. The pleasure was making me lose my sense of control.

My brain screamed at me, “Snap out of it, Elena. He's going to destroy you.” But my body was saying something else.

Every inch of my body was begging for this man, I wanted his mouth on every part of my body.

“I need you, Elena. Right now,” he said, with heavy breaths, his dark gaze staring at me.

“But…” I stuttered on my words. I didn't know what to say. I wanted him too, but I couldn’t say that.

He didn't wait for my response. A loud moan tore out of me as he captured my nipples in his mouth and feasted on it.

The pleasure was immense, I couldn't hold it in, “Adrian…please,” I gasped.

I could feel myself dripping between my thighs.

His hands found its way between my thighs to my clit, “Fuck…you're soaked for me,” he groaned.

He rubbed it with two of his fingers, “Tell me you don't want this. Tell me to stop,”

“Adrian…” I moaned, my body was trembling. “I…”

“Say it, Elena,” he slid one of his fingers into me,

I jerked up and gasped in pleasure, “Oh shit,”

I wasn't thinking straight anymore, but I knew I didn't want him to stop.

A knock on my door cut through the tension before I could say something I'd probably regret;

The knock came again, “Elara, are you asleep?” The deep, commanding voice filled the room,

“Aldric?”
