Wasn't expecting to see you here, you know…it's a classic and rich party meant for rich people, you know" Xena gave a snort of disgust.

she replied in a friendly tone. The man felt at ease and took a seat beside her. They engaged in a lighthearted conversation, and a smile adorned Emine's lips. For some inexplicable reason, she felt comfortable around this man. Aiden observed it all—her smile was breathtaking, a burst of radiant sunshine. It illuminated her face, captivating everyone who saw it. Her lips curved gracefully, revealing a row of dazzling, pearly white teeth. Joy glistened in her eyes, reflecting the warmth of her smile. It was a sight that could melt hearts and bring happiness to the world.

I turned to look at him and gave him a praise inside my head for keeping the eye contact intense between us. I chuckled. “What do you guys want from me? Thanks for the drinks, by the way.” I smiled seductively and sweet. My own signature smile. “Uh,” Xander swallowed a lump on his throat and they all look at each other like they are lost. A very usual reaction I get whenever I smile like this. I can say that its deadly but I was shock to see these hunk bunch to be swayed by my smile so easily. Simple as that and they drooled, huh?

So I discarded the part of me that was unimpressed and chose to see the sweetness in this gesture. I ground my lower lip between my teeth, certain that my cheeks were flushed. Tucker saw this and pressed on, his thumb running over my knuckles. It simultaneously soothed and enticed me. His smile widened, sweet and unassuming to the untrained eye. “Tell me, Emma, who do you belong to?”

At least he remembered the water. “Thank you for the water. Were you hungry?” “Hmm… Figured we could skip training and spend some time together. It’s all been too much, and we need to deal with certain things.” That smile of his it never left his face. Some male had a sexy, mischievous smile, but not Cal. His was a smile that promised that he’d do things he knew she’d love, even if she didn’t know. It bordered on dangerous and demanding. Tara’s body responded to it instantly, and she believed he’d be the only one that could satisfy her.

Stefan’s head slowly snapped up, his pitch-black, piercing eyes locking onto the subordinate. Then, a miracle occurred, something that none of his board of directors or global competitors had ever witnessed in their entire lives. The harsh, frozen granite of Stefan’s handsome face completely melted. The sharp, predatory line of his lips softened, tilting upward into a genuine, breathtakingly bright smile. It was a proud, profoundly tender smile, radiating an intense warmth that was reserved for only one soul in the universe. ‘My brilliant girl’, his heart whispered, a fierce, protective ache swelling inside his chest.

Sonia smiled and touched his handsome face. "Although you seldom smile, I know what things make you smile." "Really?" He raised his thick eyebrows. "Tell me." "When you tease someone, you smile. When you play a trick on someone, you smile. When you make a fool of someone, you smile an evil smile. When you are unhappy, you sneer coldly with your mouth closed, and..." She trailed off and her eyelids flickered. When he looked at her like this, he smiled. His smile was real and very gentle.

That made me chuckle. “Young, complicated life.” Zach snorted. “That’s a good one.” For the first time ever, I saw Trenton smile. Not the easy, slow spread anyone would do, but one that slightly upturns a corner of his mouth with his eyes replicating the smile. He looked very handsome. “You should smile often, Trenton. It looks good on you.” I told him. He snapped his expression back to flat and unsmiling, passing me a glare as if he was accusing me of being the cause for the almost-unnoticeable smile.
