ElianaThe moment I locked the door, I threw myself on my unmade bed face first. With my voice muffled by the pillow underneath my face, I let out a scream, gripping the sides of the soft material. It was one thing to let Nicholas touch me and an entirely different one to have my body melt in his arms. I was ashamed of myself for struggling to control my feelings when I should have been able to say no without hesitating."I hate this," I said out loud, turning and lying on my back. For some reason, I was expecting him to knock, but when I heard his footsteps retreating, my heart just sank."Get hold of yourself," I chastised myself, fighting off the tears and the burning feeling in my chest. I couldn't believe I wanted him to ask me to let him in. Muttering a few curses, I sat up and picked up my laptop from the nightstand beside my phone. I knew I wasn't going to get any sleep, so I made up my mind to watch The Originals as a distraction.Minutes later, just as I was beginning to get

ElianaI stared at the gated estate as Nicholas drove in between an array of modern, luxurious houses on both sides. They were separated by walls, each gated and spacious, with multiple street lights. The place seemed to house the richest people in the city. As Nicholas swiped a card outside one of the gates, I couldn't help but stare at him while I fought the warm feeling inside my chest. Two security men approached as he drove inside when the gate automatically opened."Sir," one said when he lowered his window."Good evening, Sam. Do not allow anyone inside," he instructed as he packed the car in front of a fountain, beside a black Bentley and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. It was evident Nicholas was loaded, but then again, he was a businessman. The only question was exactly how rich he was, given the fact that he was only 35."Even Allan, boss?" The other one asked, pressing his lips together when his friend elbowed him."Anyone includes Allan George." With that rude answer, he handed Sam

Eliana"Aaah!" A breathless cry passed through my parted mouth as Nick swept his tongue over my folds, grazing my bundle of nerves as he went higher. I could barely keep my eyes open as he repeated the action, looking deep into my eyes. My entire body was on fire, my nipples hard to the maximum, clit throbbing, walls contracting, and my mind hazy with nothing but want."Mmh, god, you taste so good," he rasped against my folds, his breath fanning my already wet heat. It brought a tingling sensation, one that needed attention at the very moment. So I raised my hips up, thrusting them into his face as I sought more of his magical tongue."Needy, aren't we?" He chuckled but snaked his tongue out, that time around flattening it to lick every damn juice."Oh, god, Nick." My eyelids fluttered as my breath came out in short, loud, and fast puffs. He added pressure with every lick, stimulating my pulsating clit further. The tension inside of me increased, and all I knew was that I needed to re

Eliana"What the hell, Nicholas?" I got off the bed as if my ass was on fire, distancing myself from him. I shook my head, making a sucking sound with my lips pressed together and my teeth closed."I saw him with my own eyes," Nicholas clarified, making me swipe a hand over my face."I felt so betrayed and just swore to never allow myself to feel the same way for any other woman. It worked out just fine for years until you came along." He draped his legs over the edge of the bed."I can't believe you'd stoop this low." I said, taking a step backwards when he got off the bed."What are you talking about?" He looked at me with his head slightly tilted, studying me, his brows raised in question. Nothing on his face gave out anything, but I wasn't about to let him fool me."Gavin's father, seriously? Couldn't you have come up with another lie? You just had to get a deceptive reason for me to stay away from Gavin—a stupid one, if I may add." I threw my hands in the air, ignoring the slight

Eliana"This looks really good on you; it accentuates your figure perfectly," Gavin praised, twirling me in front of a full mirror in a boutique changing room."Thank you, but for a wedding, I think I should go with a bright colour," I said, smoothing my arms on my tummy."You don't need any bright colour to make you stand out. Your pretty face and killer body are enough." I forced a smile when our eyes met in the mirror."You have a way with words, don't you?" I said, folding my arms behind my neck to unzip the black dress."You deserve every compliment, Ellie; you are beautiful," he responded, making me cringe inwardly. The nickname reminded me of the one person I was trying so hard to forget. It even sounded so wrong when Gavin used it."Here, let me." He pushed my hands away and opened the zipper, all while maintaining eye contact with me in the mirror. Something about the look he was giving me made my body shiver, and not in a good way. It had me comparing how Nick's eyes on me br
