Chapter 26 Caught In The Act
Elena Pov
“Being naughty again, hmm, little Elena?”
The familiar low, hoarse voice startled me. I froze in shock, my hand that held my phone tightened and remained in the same position I had while I was videoing Marcus, but my body… it had long frozen.
My brain went numb, my heart stopped beating and my lips were wide agape as I stared into space in shock.
“Not responding?” Marcus's hoarse voice chuckled behind me, and before I could respond, my head was suddenly turned to the back and now, I'm face to face with the man I thought had disappeared, but— Oh Lord, save me…
Marcus stood in front of me, his dark eyes darker even in the night which gave him a more dangerous look, which he had smoothed to the back was now scattered and some fell on the side of his wet face which made him look devilish… well, a gorgeous one. And… oh my goodness! How could one look so dangerously fine?!!
My mouth hung as I took in his look and I couldn't stop salivating. He had been far away from me and I had only watched him through the screen of my phone while he was in the pool, but this time, I could see this man who is more dangerous than Medusa closely and darn! I can't even move my gaze away from him.
For a moment, I forgot where I was, the danger I was in, I forgot I was supposed to be panicking, and all I could think of and see was the stimulating figure in front of me who made my heart beat faster and made my nipples ache.
I couldn't help but trail the drip of water that fell from his hair and slid down to his neck where a towel was and then down to his defined shoulder and… slowly… it went down to his torso, and all I could do was—
“Gulp!”
“Would you like me to pull down my brief so you can check the goods?”
A low, dangerous voice sounded while I was still in a daze and without thinking, my eyes lit up, and I responded excitedly,
“Yes! Yes! Do it! I want to—” Suddenly I paused, my head tilted to the side strangely, then realisation hit me.
My eyes widened in shock, “What the hell did you just say, Elena Reeves?!!”
My face turned blood red, my body froze, and like a robot, I slowly looked up, and then…I met the eyes that were enough to send me to hell.
I froze up, my lips parted and closed, my brain slowed down and even my mind exploded with nothing in it because I was speechless at this moment, all I wanted to do was cry in annoyance for my stupidity.
Marcus stood in front of me, his eyes darkened with an emotion I couldn't understand, his lips pursed into a tight line, and his head was bowed as he looked at me with those eyes of his.
The space between us was narrow, and the air somehow became tight. No one said anything, and the tension was so crazy that even with the evening breeze coming my way, I felt hot and sweaty. The way his eyes looked at me made me so nervous and it confused me.
His eyes didn't contain any emotions, and I didn't see the usual anger, or coldness, instead, they were so calm. Calm enough to leave me trembling.
I couldn't help but think about the response I had unconsciously given when he asked that flirty question. But come to think of it— Its not my fault!
Why the hell did he ask that question?! What do you expect a sexually trance woman to say when asked that kind of question?!
Of course! I want to see him! I want to see everything, and not just that, I want to caress that body of his, I want to bite those tiny nipples of his, and…
“Thinking about nonsense again?!”
“Ouch!”
I cried out in pain then touched my forehead where Marcus had flicked. I raised my head and glared at him with my moist eyes, but Marcus wasn't looking at me anymore, instead, he was looking at the floor where I knelt.
He furrowed his brows tightly, his eyes darkened and they made my heart skip a beat, he spat, “Stand up!”
Without questioning him, my body reacted to his order and I jumped up immediately.
“Why aren't you asleep? What are you doing here this late, Elena?” He asked in his hoarse voice, but all I could hear was how my name sounded on his lips.
It sounded ethereal, like my name was the most special word he had ever spoken, it sounded like I was being kissed in the ear, caressed and licked and with this, my heart beat fastened and my pulse quickened.
The night was quiet, and soon, Marcus, who didn't hear a response, furrowed his brows even more and his gaze turned colder which snapped me out of my daze and I remembered that I was supposed to respond to his question.
I swallowed, lowered my head in guilt, and my body moved back in reflex as I could feel the aura around him getting colder from his impatience.
“Hmmph!” he snorted arrogantly and this made me sneak a look at him but I immediately lowered my head when I met his cold glare.
“This morning, you were so disobedient and you didn't come outside throughout. And tonight, you’re out here acting sneaky. Little Elena…” Marcus drawled the last words like he was teasing the name, and they made me even more nervous.
Then I felt a shadow coming closer toward me and my body trembled with the nervousness I felt.
Marcus's steps were slow, but his aura froze me, and I couldn't move and could only wait until he got to me but that wait felt like forever because at this time, I was sweating, and even my hand that held my phone had become wet due to the tension in the air.
Finally, while I was shaking, Marcus reached my side. He stood so close that I could feel his breath, and smell his mint scent that tantalised my nostrils, and then, I felt him lower his head and move closer to my face which made me snap my eyes closed.
I bet he could hear my heartbeat because it was pounding so loud that it could burst out at any given time.
Though my eyes were closed, I felt his face move closer and closer, and then… his nose scratched mine which turned me rigid.
“Tell me, naughty girl, what were you doing?” he whispered, then blew air on my face which made me gasp from the effect.
My brain went numb and my lips parted as I let out sharp breaths and before I could stop myself, I spat;
“Nothing! I didn't do anything! I never took videos of you either! And I wasn't sneaky!”
