Chapter 78

**Kapittel 77**

**"You look very** lovely in that nightgown, love."

"Th...Thank you..." Allison managed to answer at Hades' compliment thrown by his velvety, warm voice, while she stared at his steel orbs boldly.

"Come here," he told her with his voice, still velvety but now deep. He raised his free hand and motioned her to sit on the huge space beside him. Taking a huge gulp, she submissively took her steps forward and went to his side, snuggling herself against his warm body.

"Mhm," he hummed and placed a hand over her waist, caressing her delicate curves softly with his gentle hand, rendering her body to shake violently in pleasure.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked her worriedly when he felt her body shake.

She looked at him for a brief moment before shaking her head. "Nothing. I just want to ask where Jekyll is," she explained to him, resting her temple on his shoulder. For an unknown reason, she had been feeling this odd kind of connection with Hades that she could not write on paper. Little did she know back then that she liked it whenever he was near her, whenever his skin touched hers, whenever his lips cascaded down to her to worship her fragile body. Except for the parts when he tried to catch her bodily affection without asking for her approval. But he was slowly learning to respect their boundaries. He made her feel special, and she loved it. She wanted to savor and relish it as much as it lasted.

"Oh." He paused for a moment before answering, "I sent him to the suite where his nanny and Hyde are resting."

"Oh." She pursed her lower lip for a moment. "I see," she muttered before silence and awkwardness came to conquer over the whole room. Beads of sweat began forming on her forehead once again as she bit her lower lip harder while violently raking her mind, trying to think of something to talk about to keep the silence and awkwardness away. It made her uneasy. Discomfiting.

"Wh...What're you doing then?" she asked him, trying to start a conversation.

'Gosh, Allison, don't stammer, you sound like a dimwit!' she mentally chided herself, burying her long fingernails on her pale, cold palm.

"Oh, this?" he asked as he pointed his laptop. "I'm sending an e-mail to Jarred."

"About?" You shouldn't have interrogated more!

"Taking King Anderson's business firm down," he answered her with bitterness and anger in his velvety voice. Gone was the softness and warmth in his eyes and was replaced by extreme rage. As soon as she heard those words come out from his mouth, her whole body shook violently in fear, her breathing shook and a huge lump formed in her throat.

She gulped nervously. "Wh...Why would you do that?"

"Because his woman disrespected you," he answered, his voice laced with intense fury when he mentioned the word woman.

"Hades." She jerked her head up to look at him, held the side of his face, and shook her head. "No."

She knew that he was trying to get back on the guy for her, thinking that Hades cared for her. But it was very morbid and cruel at the same time, and that would be harassment as she didn't ask him to bring the firm down. She didn't want to ruin a person's life just because his girlfriend threw a drink at her.

"No?" he huffed a deep breath. "Allison, baby, that woman threw her drink on you!"

"And it wasn't King Anderson who threw the drink at me, am I right?" she asked that made him still for moments before nodding.

"See? And you've already taken down his contract with you, haven't you? I'm sure it would've cost him a fortune, and that's already enough, Hades," she coaxed him with her best, trying to enchant him her voice soft and smooth like a silky robe.

He looked at her eyes longingly before drawing out a heavy breath and faced his laptop before closing it. "Fine."

She smiled softly at his reply. "Good," she muttered before leaning up to him to kiss his cheek to show her gratitude, but instead for her lips to land on his cheek, he unknowingly turned his head that made prompted their lips to accidentally crash.

Both of their eyes widened in uttered shock. Lingering bolts of electricity then came and shook her insides, melting them and paralyzing her frail body. She heard him sigh between the kiss, rendering his hot, minty breath to make their way inside her nostrils, etching a remarkable effect on her. It was just a small smooch. Nonetheless, to Allison, it felt more than just a smooch. The kiss felt like it would last forever, or so she felt.

He immediately pulled away from her. "Good night," he told her and leaned down to kiss her forehead before getting on his feet and leaving the area.

"Mhm," she hummed stiffly as she lay on her bed. It was one good night indeed.

**Morning came like no other.** The sun rose brightly like a superstar in a concert, being waited excitedly by its fans, vibing off its smiling beams to the sea that immediately gleamed. The breeze was still the same as yesterday, roaming around effortlessly, hitting itself on the swaying coconut tree leaves, against the rocks, the green pastures, and other more whilst carrying the sea's brackish scent.

As soon as Allison and Hades woke up, they left their suite and went down to have breakfast before going back to equip their swimwear and prepare for an exciting escapade.

"I wonder what we would do today," she muttered to herself while walking down the beach, wiggling the sparkling sand off her toes. She sighed delightfully at the scene before her. Just watching the waves coming forth, cascading through the sand, giving off the sea's refreshing saline scent was already enough to make her day. It was such a sight to see. Bora Bora sure was one paradise, and people should take sight of this place before they die or they'd be missing half of their lives.

"How about a seaplane flight day tour over Bora Bora and Tupai?" she heard Hades' deep baritone voice asked that made her blood run in excitement.

She turned on her heel to face him with a bright smile on her face. "That would be lovely!" she exclaimed cheerfully. She reached his arm out for her and said with his velvety voice. "Come."

With pure thrill running down her veins, the two went to the place where they could use a seaplane.
