Smirk Meaning

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ DARK ROMANCE AND MATURED CONTENT. "This is kidnapping," my voice cracked as I followed him. "You can't keep me here." "I think I can," he chuckled, tge sound low and dangerous. He draped his coat over the kitchen counter, then turned back to me. "And that's what I plan on doing." A violent shudder ran through me. My breath came shallow, my chest tightening with fear. He meant it. "It won't be long before someone realises I am missing," I said, hoping that logic would reach him. "And come looking for me." His smirk deepened. "Who will?" Once a predator locks onto its prey, there's no letting go! A woman craving the attention of her husband runs into the caporegime of the Kingston family, a crime family that has ruled the underground for years. She knows he is bad news.

Sighing heavily she met his eyes, “what do you want Julien?” “Exactly what you want El,” he drawled as a lazy smirk spread across his lips. “I definitely don't want that, not after what you did to Landon you’re an you know, no single decency,-” She gasped as he pulled her flush against him, “ I agree with you El, there really is no decency in me,” he murmured before smashing his lips against hers. Elsida felt her resolve melt as her lips moved against his, she didn't stand a chance and he was awfully aware. She tried to fight it she really did, but it seemed as though she couldn't escape the torment. He had ruined her family once and now she's letting him do it again in more ways than one. Elsida can’t keep up with her Father's bills anymore. The escort agency’s pay is measly in comparison to her Father's medical expenses and she is desperate to save him. Desperate enough to accept an unlikely offer from the man she swore to loathe; Julien Benoit. He ruined her once, letting him in again might just be her damnation. Elsida didn’t know that Julien is out for blood this time until she learns about the role he played in her Father's downfall when she’s already too deep in. Ruthless betrayals, burning desires, heart-wrenching love, and a tragic past. Will trusting Julien save her Father or bring more chaos than she had bargained for?

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" "It is." "Please don't pull that with me." "Pull what?" "That." She pointed at my face. "Where I explain how pretty everything looks and you say yes but you would be referring to me." She waved her hands in the air, explaining. "It's cliche and kinda getting old." "Would you prefer I do this instead?" I pinned a loose strand behind her ear, my palm roamed her soft features and also on her lips. "Or this?" I leaned in to steal a kiss, stopping midway to see if she'd stop me and she didn't. I couldn't help the tiny smirk that lay on my lips after. "Aren't you going to stop me?" My raspy voice whispered in her ear. She shivered, unconsciously leaning into me for warmth. I stopped her fingers as she tried to wrap them around my neck. ********** She's not the bad girl he thought she was. He's not the good boy she thought he was.
