Raul and Emily were stunned by Arion's sudden action. Emily found herself bent within Arion's embrace, confusion and shock overwhelming her, uncertain how to react in this situation. The mere arrival of Arion had startled her, and now hearing his proclamation amidst the crowd only added to her bewilderment.From the upper floor, Eleanor witnessed the scene unfold and quickly descended the stairs, her eyes wide in disbelief. "Arion?" she muttered, hardly believing that the stubborn Arion had come all the way to Paris and was now standing amidst the crowd.Meanwhile, Raul swiftly composed himself, transforming his expression into a more cordial smile. "Ah, so you decided to join us, Arion!" he said in a neutral tone.Emily, however, remained silent, her eyes locked on Arion with a mixture of emotions. She felt trapped in this sudden confrontation, unsure of what to say or do. It felt as if she had been caught in an act of infidelity, even though she herself was uncertain of her status w
A Few Hours Earlier...“How could you exclude Raul’s name from the investigation?” Reynard demanded, clearly upset with Arion’s suggestion.Arion leaned back into the dark brown sofa. “He was clearly at the scene when it happened!” Reynard continued, his voice tense.“I agree with Reynard. Anyone at the location should be considered a suspect,” Felix chimed in, supporting Reynard’s statement.“Ugh,” Arion sighed heavily. He couldn’t exactly tell them he had been spying on Emily. There was no way to forbid his friends if they were determined to pursue Raul. “Fine, investigate him. But what motive could Raul have? He’s always struck me as an honest man,” Arion said, trying to deflect.“I’ll look into who’s backing Tasha. She’s grown bold enough to threaten you directly,” Felix added, trying to calm the atmosphere in the room.“This is the CCTV footage from various locations leading to the club last night,” Reynard said, handing over several memory cards.“Alright, let’s get to work,” Ar
As soon as the plane landed, Arion drove straight to Raul's club. What he saw there made his blood boil.“Yon, where are we going?” Emily asked as Arion started driving.He remained silent, his eyes fixed straight ahead. His free hand, not on the steering wheel, gripped Emily's hand tightly.It wasn’t long before they arrived at their destination. Arion stopped the car right in front of the hotel entrance. The handsome man got out, circled the vehicle, and opened the door for Emily. He draped his jacket over her again. “Don’t take it off,” he commanded, and she nodded in agreement.Arion led Emily into the hotel, handing the car keys to the valet. He did not release his grip on Emily’s hand as they headed to the reception desk to book a room.“One presidential suite,” Arion demanded, handing his black card to the receptionist.“Yes, sir.”With the key card and room number in hand, Arion ushered Emily into the elevator. Emily's heart pounded, wondering what would happen between them.“
Arion gently placed Emily in the dry bathtub. The tall, muscular man turned the faucet, filling the tub with warm water, and added some soap. Emily remained silent, gazing out the window at the clearly visible Eiffel Tower, its lights shimmering like a scene from a fairytale.Her heart raced at the sight of Arion's perfectly toned body, though he appeared indifferent. Without a word, Arion climbed into the tub, leaned against the wall, and pulled Emily to rest on his chest, inhaling the fragrance of her neck."Hmm..."Emily was startled by the sensation of something hard and soft pressing against her from behind. Arion held her silently, resting his chin on her shoulder, his hands wrapped around her waist, gently caressing her stomach."Sorry."Thump! Emily didn't respond, too confused by Arion's apology, not knowing what he was apologizing for."Sorry for saying something hurtful," Arion continued, turning Emily's face to look at him."What should I say?" Emily wondered, unable to te
Meanwhile, at the café, Eleanor massaged her temples, exasperated after being left alone by Arion and Emily. "Ugh! You're being so blatant now!" she muttered irritably, though a wide smile crept across her face. She felt a sense of happiness seeing them together.Watching Arion snatch Emily away from Raul made her want to shout with joy. "Hahaha! Just make sure you solve your problems!" she exclaimed, encouraging herself."You're a genius, Lea!" she cheered herself on."Miss Eleanor," a voice called out.Eleanor turned to see Raul approaching. "Hi, Raul," she replied, smiling.Raul returned her smile gently. "Is it alright if I join you here?"Eleanor nodded. "No problem, after all, this is your place," she said casually.Raul chuckled softly and took a seat across from Eleanor."Hmph, I didn't expect Arion to be so possessive with his secretary!" Raul mumbled, taking a sip of his drink.Eleanor laughed lightly. "That's just how Arion is.""Do you know Arion well?""Hmm? Ah, not reall
"Oh, Yon!" Emily's hands tangled in Arion's hair, savoring every sweep of his tongue below. The sensation was incredible, as his tongue moved in and out, swirling inside her core. The tip of his tongue teased her sensitive nub, making her mind blank and drift away.The sounds of his licking were incredibly erotic, with Arion lapping up all the fluids. He smiled and straightened, his hand caressing Emily's cheek as he said with heavy breaths, "All clean, darling."Emily, gazing at Arion's face with a dreamy look, leaned forward and captured his lips. She could still taste herself on him."Mm!"Their heated kiss resumed, Emily's hand naturally moving to stroke Arion's member, which had been pressing gently against her stomach."Ugh! Damn! Don't tease it like that, darling!" Arion growled, stopping her hand."We should stop here," Arion said, lifting Emily. "I don't want you to get sick from being in the bathroom too long."He quickly wrapped them both up, and with their bodies entwined,
The next morning, in the presidential suite, Emily slowly opened her eyes. Her body felt sore all over, as Arion had kept his promise and made love to her for more than an hour again during the night."Ugh," Emily groaned, stretching her body. She massaged her forehead lightly. "Will he disappear again like yesterday?" she murmured, a hint of trauma, disappointment, and reluctance in her voice.Just as she said that, a broad hand touched her face. "Morning."Emily turned and opened her eyes wide. "A-Arion?"The man with hazel blue eyes smiled and gently stroked her face with a serene look in his eyes. "Yes?""You're still here?" Emily asked, her voice carrying the distinct timbre of sleep."Mhm, I'm here. There's no reason to leave, right?" Arion's dominant voice felt like a breath of fresh air to Emily's heart.Arion moved closer, pulling Emily into his arms. She felt a wave of happiness, their skin touching without any barriers.From the moment he woke up twenty minutes ago, Arion h
As promised, Arion took Emily out to enjoy the sights of Paris before their return to Germany. He never let go of her hand, his possessiveness evident.“Hah! Now, you two decide!” Eleanor exclaimed, sighing heavily as they sat down at a café to quench their thirst.Arion raised an eyebrow, looking at Eleanor in confusion, while Emily gave her a puzzled look. “Decide what?” Emily asked.“Whether I should stay with you two or go to Planet Mars!” Eleanor snapped, glaring at the couple in front of her, who seemed oblivious to the world around them.Today, Eleanor truly felt like a third wheel, more precisely, their secretary or personal assistant.“Isn’t Mars full already?” Emily teased her friend.Eleanor gave Emily an exasperated look. Just last night, she had seen Emily in tears, utterly devastated over this one man.“Tsk! Fine, I’ll go to Pluto!” Eleanor retorted, rolling her eyes.“Hahaha!” Emily burst into laughter.“Wait, are we allowed to go to Mars and Pluto now?” Arion asked ser
