Chapter 71 My Arousal Was Aching Badly
Evelyn’s POV
“No, sweetheart,” I snapped, blocking her escape. “I’m not done with you. Not even close.”
“You only get to leave when I say so. You don’t walk out on me.”
Evelyn stood before me, small but defiant, her gaze locked with mine and her lips pressed into a slight pout.
If only she knew I’m doing this to protect her. I’m not the kind of man she should ever let herself care about. I don’t deserve someone as innocent as her.
My grip tightened on her arm without me realizing it, lost somewhere in my thoughts.
“Ouch.” She jerked free, her hand instinctively covering the sore spot I’d left on her skin. “That hurts.”
I scoffed softly, my gaze drifting from the curve of her neck down to her chest, stopping right at the center of her breast. Her skin there was impossibly beautiful, her breaths uneven, rising and falling in a rhythm I knew too well.
Her eyes stayed on me, wide, alert, ready. Already knowing exactly what was coming next.
The tip of my fingers brushed the side of her shoulder, and my voice dropped into something low and sultry.
“You shouldn’t be telling me what to do… or what not to do. So no, I’m not going to pretend any of it didn’t happen. Those moments….” I leaned in slightly, letting the truth scrape against my voice, “…..they’re the most beautiful memories I’ve had in days. And I can’t get them out of my head…. not even if I tried.”
She forced down a gulp, unsure on how to react.
My hand drifted to the tie of her robe, and in one swift, seductive motion I loosened it. The fabric slipped from her shoulders, falling aside to reveal her in nothing but delicate white panties. My chest tightened at the sight, every breath catching as I took in the curve of her form, the subtle rise and fall of her body.
I wrapped my hand around her waist and pulled her closer, slamming her breast against my chest.
Eve swallowed hard, eyes burning with so much desire that she could not hide. “Lorenzo don’t…...” she breathed heavily. “Don’t start what you can’t…….”
A cruel smile lingered at the corner of my lips as I tilted her chin, just enough for her eyes to lock with mine.
“Finish it?” My voice dropped, rough and low, almost a growl. “Do you really think that the times I walk away in moments like this… it’s because I can’t?”
Her trembling breath brushed my lips.
I inhaled slowly, letting my eyes roam back to her face, drinking in every flicker of emotion I found there.
She wasn’t merely beautiful, she was a goddess and at this point I doubt if I would be able to hold back anymore.
I pressed my body strongly to hers just to let her feel how hard I was already for her.
Her eyes shut wide open. “Lorenzo….”
“Common baby…..you should be used to this part already. Feeling my big cock.” I murmured against her skin.
Her eyes flicked to mine, wide and trembling, her breath uneven.
“What are you trying to do?” she whispered, glancing down the empty corridor. “Someone might walk in on us.”
I dragged the tip of my nose along the curve of her earlobe, my voice low and dangerous.
“That would be even more fun, sweetheart…. my staff watching you, hearing you call my name, begging me right here in the open to take you.”
She tried to pull away, panic flashing in her eyes, but I caught her effortlessly, my hand firm on her waist, holding her against me.
A mocking smile tugged at my lips. How could she have even believed that?
Not even in the next world would I allow any of my men or anyone take a single glance at what’s mine.
I didn’t say another word. With one hand still locked firmly around her waist, refusing to let her slip even an inch, my other hand went to my pocket. I pulled out my phone, scrolling until I found Diego and called him.
He picked up so fast it was as if he hadn’t waited for it to ring.
“Boss.”
“Diego, put a watch on this lane. No one comes in or goes out.”
I ended the call before he could respond.
Evelyn hadn’t moved. She stood frozen, trembling, her arms folded loosely across her chest as if trying to shield herself from the heat of what she knew was coming. Her eyes flickered to my hand still gripping her, then back to my face, fear, anticipation, and something far deeper tangled together.
“Take your panties off.” The words left my mouth before she could even brace herself.
She snapped at me, eyes flashing with shock and defiance. “No. Lorenzo…..Not here.”
“No sweetheart.” I pressed, my voice low and absolute. “This is my mansion. I set the rules, and I do whatever I want, wherever it pleases me.”
Her lips parted, but before she could speak, I added, “Now don’t test me. You either take it off or I will do it for you.”
She didn’t flinch or move and that touched my ego. I pushed towards her and tore the fabric clinging to her ass. The sound of it that gave way under my grip was quiet, but the way her breath hitched, soft and startled was loud enough for both of us.
I knew we shouldn’t be doing this here. Anyone could still slip through a different passage without Diego noticing. But I didn’t care, my arousal was aching so badly that I couldn’t think of anything but Eve’s body.
I drew her closer, her warmth molding against me, her heartbeat stumbling into mine. My forehead lowered to her temple, breathing her in…..her fear, her desire, the storm rising in her.
I lifted her off the ground and pinned her against the wall.
“Lorenzo….”
My name on her lips only fueled the fire. My mouth crashed into hers, rough, hungry, claiming.
She locked her teeth, refusing to part, denying me the access she knew I would take.
Hard way then.
I slid one hand from her waist to her jaw, tilting her face up with a slow, deliberate pressure that warned more than it asked.
“Open up,” I growled against her mouth, my breath hot on her lips.
