Daniel just kept on assaulting her mouth until he was satisfied that he had driven the message home – he staked his claim on her. Done proving to her that she was his, Daniel eased the brutality of his kisses, softening them. He let Natalie take short breaths, but each time she was close to regaining her rationality, he would swoop down and claim her lips, muddling her mind once again. Hence, Natalie couldn’t catch enough breath and was panting in between the kisses.
What was she doing? She was kissing a criminal? However, the reasonable part of her brain was gone and Natalie could only listen to her body’s urges as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Her hands raked through his hair and clutched a fistful of it, and it was as silky as hell.
From his reputation, Natalie thought that he would tear off her clothes or something, exploring her body, but he did none of it, kissing her passionately instead until they broke apart finally and Natalie sobered up.
“Bastard!” She lifted her hand to slap him a second time but he grabbed her.
Daniel told her straight in the face, “I deserve the first slap because I forced myself on you, but you enjoyed it the second time and I’m not apologizing for that,” He claimed.
Natalie saw red, how could he say that? So she yelled at his face,
“You kissed me forcibly! You took advantage of my vulnerability. So even though I responded to your kisses, it was only because my body was designed to respond to lust, nothing else!”
“Good,” Daniel said, “You can lust after me.”
“What?” Natalie was dumbfounded. What the hell was wrong with this guy?
Daniel stepped forward and she walked back, stumbling into the pillar behind her in the process and was unable to avoid him. The bastard took advantage of that and boxed her in so she wasn’t able to escape him.
“You heard the dead bastard, you’re my woman now.” He claimed her as if she was some property that can be owned.
Natalie sighed, rubbing her forehead, “I don’t know what you’re thinking but I’m not your -“
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
“What?”
“Answer my question,” He demanded.
Natalie was tempted to say yes, however, her gaze drifted over to the corpse of that man and her stomach did a backflip as a thought hit her. What if she told Daniel about Edward and the psychopath went after him? God, she couldn’t let that happen. Edward can’t die because of her. So she lied.
“No, I don’t have a boyfriend, and I don’t need -“
“It’s settled then, you’re my woman.”
“What? That is outrageous! You can’t just -!”
But Daniel was already leaving the warehouse, without listening to her own opinion and Natalie had no choice but to follow after him instead of spending time with the corpse. She would convince him later that she can’t be his girlfriend.
End Of Flashback
Chloe Can’t Wait
The present…
Rhea and Lukas slept off on the couch last night in the name of watching movies and judging from how comfortable she felt, she knew that Lukas had borne the brunt of her weight. Yeah, his arm must be dead from where she snuggled into all night and he was still asleep.
She got out of his arms seeing that it was morning and it was the day Mimi and Winters were supposed to go work for the Spencers. In one word, he should be awake already.
“Lukas…” Rhea shook him, but Lukas made no effort to wake up. She shook him again, still, yet, there was no result and Rhea rubbed her temple, wondering how he was able to live this long when he slept like a log of wood.
If Rhea was an enemy, she would have taken him by surprise and ended his life already. But then, she knew Lukas won’t be too comfortable with her if she was an enemy. He might be in love with her, but he was not stupid.
Damn it, there was no way on earth she was pulling him up to his feet. Lukas weighed like an elephant and it wasn’t as romantic as people thought, not when she was buckling under his weight.
However, Rhea knew that Lukas rarely slept this deeply and for him to sleep this long was a luxury. It was either that he was away on a job or he was woken up from a bad dream and wasn’t able to go back to sleep.
Honestly, the best time Rhea saw Lukas sleep well was whenever they were together – especially when they had sex. It was as if she was his special sleeping drug. The thought made her lips curl up and her heart beat faster just as she came up with a brilliant plan to wake him.
…..
Rhea knelt on the sofa, careful not to touch his dead arm, and then leaned into him so she buried her nose into the crook of his neck and inhaled his scent that made her feel heady. Rhea could not believe that there would come a time when she would get addicted to a man like this. It was a short time, but while what she had shared with Elijah was sweet, with Lukas, It was as if she was alive after being dead for so many years. She loved…. him deeply. Yeah, she loved him, Rhea finally realized it. The realization exhilarated and scared her at the same time.
What if Lukas broke her heart in the future? What if his feelings were a show and this was merely an act of revenge against Elijah? No, Rhea pushed those negative doubts to the back of her head. The signs were there, she would not allow her insecurities to destroy this beautiful thing she had with Lukas.
Rhea began to kiss his neck, sucking and nipping his flesh that his eyes flew open in no time and it brought a little, victorious smile to her lips. It seems like she just found the most effective way to wake Lukas up. But to her surprise, he tilted his head to the side giving her more access, and dug his hand into her hair, urging her face further into his neck.
Rhea pretended that she was a vampire, taking his soft skin in between her teeth and biting him hard, before kissing the skin to ease the pain. She trailed fiery kisses up and down his neck, along his jaw, and beneath his chin, feeling the faint stubbles on his face and when Lukas chuckled because it felt ticklish, she felt the deep vibration down to her core. Rhea didn’t even realize that she was playing with fire until she felt Lukas grab her ass and knead it.
She squealed, trying to jump out of his arms but Rhea landed in Lukas’s trap already and there was no escaping him. Last night, before they settled down for the movies in his home movie room – she didn’t even know that he had one – the both of them changed out of their formal clothes.
Lukas liked sleeping naked on most nights, claiming it was the most comfortable way of sleeping or something, she had not exactly been listening to that night because she was busy threatening him to get clothes on.
Thankfully, he had the decency of putting on a sweatpant yesterday leaving his chest bare while she wore shorts and a singlet. Rhea was not worried about catching a cold because Lukas’s body always seems to run hot, hence when she snuggled into his arms, she was all warm and cozy.
But not anymore.
Right now, Lukas looked nothing but like a big bad wolf about to eat her whole. Oh no, she wasn’t going to let that happen. She hadn’t even brushed her teeth. Hence Rhea had to summon a great deal of self-control to stop his advances.
“Lukas?”
“Mmm?” He murmured, kissing her neck while his large palms squeezed and kneaded her ass. Rhea bit back a moan, it was very tempting to take up this offer especially now her core was arching, Lukas has turned her into a sex addict because Rhea could not believe that she had a high libido. However, this was not the time and he must know that as well.
“Mimi and Winters leave for Spencer’s place today, you need to get prepared,” Rhea was close to moaning and taking him up on this offer.
“Okay,” Lukas said, yet made no effort to move. Just when Rhea opened her mouth to say something, he said instead, “Let’s bathe together, I promise to be quick.”
Rhea knew what Lukas was offering her and God damn it because it was really tempting, alluring. However, she knew Lukas, or rather understood the bond between the both of them, and the language, ‘quick’ was not in their dictionary. There was just no time, so she reminded him.
So she clasped his cheek, “Sorry, but Chloe can’t wait,” and that seemed to jolt Lukas from his lust-induced state and she knew the moment he gained his rationality.
“Alright then.” His eyes were clear now.
The Mission
Mimi was jittery with nerves knowing this was D-day. Nothing could go wrong, she told herself several times, but yet, she couldn’t help but get nervous. It would have been easier had it been she and Rhea on the mission but with Winters? Well, the girl was smart and there was a first time for everything.
Moreover, according to plans, she and Winters were to arrive at a different time to deceive Reina Spencer into thinking they were not together, merely a five minutes difference in their arrival to deduce it as a coincidence yet ensure that they both got the job.
