****"Behave," Ana murmured, her cheeks ablaze. She avoided meeting his gaze, but when he abruptly kissed her knuckles, a shiver ran down her spine. "This isn't home." She attempted to pull her hand away, but Richard held it firmly, his face a mask of determination. Such pettiness only added to her discomfort."So you're implying we can do this at home, which, I must admit, I prefer," Richard remarked, a mischievous grin playing on his lips as his teasing intensified. Ana couldn't tell if he was genuinely drunk or not, because his teasing was executed with such finesse that it left her puzzled."No, I'll drop you off at home, then I'll head back to my place," Ana asserted, stealing a quick glance over her shoulder. She noticed the curious stares from the girls nearby, evidently intrigued by her interaction with Richard.The next moment, Richard playfully tugged Ana by the hand, causing her to stumble into his lap, right in front of everyone. The manager hastily averted his gaze, while
*****"What!?" Linda snapped in horror, her grip on the bag faltering and causing the packets to tumble to the ground. Her body shook violently with shock, unprepared to discover that the contents in her hand were drugs."Yes, and I've captured everything on this phone. Now, I could ask you to call the cops because I want you all to get the justice you deserve," Ana stated calmly, her eyes conveying a mix of triumph and power. In her composed demeanor, they saw how effortlessly one woman had manipulated them all without needing to raise her voice."You're the one who gave us the drugs! We had no clue!" another woman shouted, her fear palpable as she grappled with the terrifying prospect of getting caught by the cops for drug possession. The thought of facing jail time weighed heavily on her, especially knowing that her father wouldn't lift a finger to help her if she ended up behind bars because of drugs."There is no camera in this room," she stated firmly, her hand gesturing towards
****"Since you are here, take him with you; my car is parked in front. So I will go to my house because it is late," Ana stated as they approached George's car, which was parked at the rear door of the bar."I wouldn't recommend that. The media's still swarming outside, and your car might've attracted some unwanted attention by now. It's safer for you to stay with the boss in his apartment. I'll fetch your car in the morning," George advised, glancing towards the backseat where Richard was sleeping."Also, after dropping him off, you can take me back home. I'm fine with it being a bit late," Ana insisted, her tone leaving no doubt about her reluctance to stay at Richard's place."Okay, first let's go to his apartment," George suggested, gesturing towards the car. "After that, if everything goes well, then I'll definitely drop you off at your home," he assured Ana, his tone comforting yet cautious. "But I want to be clear, I'm not advising any hasty decisions," he emphasized, his conce
*****With a heavy sigh, Ana turned her attention back to Richard, her shoulders slumped slightly. She let out a soft sigh, though it held a hint of exasperation. "I don't know why I am helping you so much when I should be slapping you hard," Ana said with a wry smile, her gaze lingering on Richard's peaceful sleeping face."I was, finally having a rare moment of relaxation with my friend, just chatting and savoring some whiskey. But then you swoop in and completely ruin the vibe. Now I'm stuck playing babysitter to you. Argh! It's just unbelievable!" With a frustrated sigh, she remembered her need to call Phoebe. "And to top it off, I left my phone in the car, and I gave his phone to George. Oh god, could this situation get any more chaotic?""Oh, I need to pee!" Ana kicked off her heels in a fit of frustration, storming toward the bathroom with urgency gnawing at her insides. In her haste, she didn't even consider locking the door as she hurriedly perched herself on the toilet seat,
*****Selena clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white as her anger surged through her veins. She paced back and forth in her bedroom, her voice rising with each word. "I have a deep trust in you," she exclaimed, her tone laced with frustration and betrayal. "That is why I believed you when you said Anastasia had long since vanished from the earth's surface!" She paused, taking a deep breath to calm herself, though her agitation remained palpable. "Then what is she doing in New York?" Selena demanded, her eyes flashing with intensity. "Furthermore, how did Richard meet her?" Today Richard not only fought with them because of that woman but also displayed his affection for that woman which was not a good sign. "I cannot see the future and do not raise your voice at me in that manner," the cold yet gruesome voice warned Selena. She had momentarily forgotten with whom she was conversing, but the chilling reminder swiftly brought her back to reality. In her vulnerable position, she
****The urgency in the kiss escalated as Richard's hand slid beneath Ana's neck, lifting her head as their lips melded together in a feverish embrace. Ana made a concerted attempt to avoid the kiss, but she could not deny her desire for him. He groaned with pleasure as he delicately sucked on Ana's bottom lip, his tongue tracing its contours from one end to the other with tantalizing precision. With a subtle yet insistent pressure, his tongue urged her teeth to part, granting him access to the sweet warmth within. The ecstasy of their intimate exchange shattered every remaining barrier, sending a surge of intoxicating pleasure straight to Ana's head. Slowly, she relinquished her resolve, surrendering to the undeniable temptation that had always drawn her to him like a moth to a flame.Ana wrapped her arms around Richard's neck, pulling him closer as their bodies intertwined like two tidal waves crashing into each other with unbridled passion. With a low, guttural moan escaping her
****Ana's breath hitched, her lips parting in a silent gasp as Richard's tongue traced a path of fiery desire along her quivering flesh. With a soft moan escaping her, she surrendered to the intensity of his touch, her body arching in pleasure. Each stroke of his tongue to her wet entrance sent waves of heat crashing through her, igniting a primal hunger within. Lost in the whirlwind of sensation, she surrendered completely, her eyes fluttering shut."Ummm!" Ana moaned, her voice a breathless melody of desire as her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer with a fervent urgency. She could feel the burning lava rolling throughout her body. As Richard held Ana's waist firmly, her legs draped over his shoulders, he immersed himself in the intoxicating scent and taste of her arousal. His tongue, a skillful dancer, traced delicate patterns around her velvet folds, teasing and coaxing her pleasure to new heights. With each flick and swirl, Ana's moans grew louder, echoing in the ai
******The loud ring of the phone shattered the peaceful embrace of Richard and Ana, jolting them awake from their post-passionate slumber. Groggily, they blinked at each other, disoriented by the sudden interruption."Pick the phone!" Ana murmured, opening her eyes, when suddenly realization hit her that there was a telephone in the house.'What!' "You have a phone in the house and you didn't tell me?" Ana's voice held a note of inquiry as she rose from the bed, gracefully enveloping herself in the sheet. Her question hung in the air, prompting Richard to explain the oversight. "When did you ask me about the phone?" With a nonchalant shrug, he left the bed, his naked form adding a touch of humor to the moment. Intent on silencing the persistent ringing, he made his way toward the hallway, each step purposeful.Ana's frustration grew as she clenched her fists, feeling foolish for not inquiring about the telephone earlier and for not exploring the house to discover it herself.Ana sl
