All Chapters of Falling For The Billionaire’s Trap: Chapter 31 - Chapter 38

  His lips were still on mine.  For a long moment, my mind refused to function. Everything around me faded into nothingness, even the frantic beating of my own heart.  There was only him.  His kiss wasn’t rough, nor was it forceful. It was slow… almost hesitant, as though he himself couldn’t believe what he was doing.  My eyes fluttered shut without my permission.  Why… Why wasn’t I pushing him away?  His familiar scent surrounded me, making my thoughts blur together. His hand remained gently cupping the back of my head, his fingers buried in my hair, while the other rested lightly around my waist, caressing it ever so slightly.  My heartbeat pounded so violently against my chest that I was certain he could hear it.  This is wrong… He’s my boss. He is someone far above me. I shouldn’t… I can’t be doing this. Yet my body refused

  I couldn’t breathe.  The moment Azrael’s eyes met mine, everything around me seemed to disappear.  The clinking of glasses.  The soft music playing in the background.  Even Kai’s voice gradually faded into nothing but meaningless noise.  All I could see…was him.  Something inside my chest tightened.  “Cassie?”  I blinked, finally looking away.  Kai was looking at me with furrowed brows. “You’ve looked ashen, are you okay?”  “I…” I immediately lowered my eyes, forcing out a smile. “Sorry.”  “Are you okay?”  “Y-Yes.”  “You don’t look okay.”  “I just…” I let out a small laugh that didn’t even sound convincing. “I suddenly remembered all the assignments due next week.&rdqu

  The days that followed became strange.  Ever since what happened between us at the restaurant, it was as though Azrael had quietly woven himself into every corner of my life.  Every single day his car would already be waiting outside the university gates by the time my classes ended.  “Get in.” He said, opening the door for me.  At first, I protested, but there was no winning against him. He threatened to carry and throw me inside if I resisted, and not that I believed him, but… I can’t take the risk. Who knows what goes in that head of his.  “What if someone from school sees us?”  “They won’t.”  “And if they do?”  “Then they’ll think you hit the jackpot for landing a handsome driver.” He smirked.  “Is this how you talked to girls when you were in college?” I asked, chuckling.

  The mall was unusually crowded after class.  Being one of the largest shopping centers in the city, it wasn’t surprising to see families strolling around, couples carrying shopping bags, and children running excitedly from one store to another.  I adjusted the strap of the tote bag hanging over my shoulder as I followed Neil and Katie through the busy hallway. They were my friends from the organization I joined that were particularly for scholars.  “So…” Neil glanced at the list in his hand. “We’ve already bought the colored papers, folders, ribbons, markers, and paint.”  Katie frowned. “We’re still missing the decorative lights.”  “Oh, right.”  Our scholarship organization had been assigned to prepare a booth for the university’s upcoming charity event. Since our budget was limited, everyone had pitched in a small amount of money to
