CELINE HERRERA POV The roses were what my gaze was on, which was why I didn't see Julie turning away from the secretary and heading in my direction until we crashed into each other. Hard.A gasp escaped my lips as I fell to the floor, my eyes widening as I took in the damage the drink she had been holding that got crushed between us had done. The roses had been splashed and so had my dress. Julie was all over me in a second. "Oh, my goodness. I am so sorry, I didn't even see you" she rushed out as she took my hand and pulled me up to my feet. "Are you alright, I slammed into you pretty hard didn't I?" she asked and I nodded as I adjusted my dress and tried to clean away the residue of the drink. I noticed that two of the guards and the secretary were hovering around us, not quite knowing what to do to remedy the situation. "It's alright" I got out then gave them a dismissive wave. "I am totally fine. I'll just talk with Julie here, so you all can get back to your position" I said
CELINE HERRERA POV "What are you..." I panicked as he started to give space between us."Fuck, this is so hard" he growled In frustration. I was more frustrated, but I guess he was much stronger than I was in this little game we were playing. He had more restraints.I didn't. I wanted him so bad, I literally burned with it. So without thinking, I twined my hands around his neck and pressed my lips to his.My action must have surprised him because he made a shocked sound against my mouth, but it only took a few seconds for his body to catch up with mine, his mouth pressing insistently against mine.I couldn't help but feel a bit of thrill that I'd managed to throw him off balance. I liked that I had the power to shock him, to make him unable to resist me. Me.His hungry hands constricted around my waist until there wasn't a breath of room between our two bodies. Until there was no denying the hot, hard length of him against my stomach or the wet heat pooling between my legs, scenting
JULIE POV Delia was going to be pissed that our plan had not worked out but there was nothing to be done about it, besides it would have been very suspicious to offer Celine a drink right after reconciling with her. What happened was for the better. Not that I gave a fuck if Delia got mad. I am sure she has a lot of things to worry about at the moment. The video of her killing Bella being at the very top of that list.My phone pinged and I stared down at it. It was a video. A grin tugged on my lips as I hit play and the sound of Delia moaning as she got fucked over the table flooded my ear. The little bitch. Great, another thing to add to her worry list.Enoch had refused to believe that Delia was planning to sleep with Belshar for whatever reason known to her, but now he would know that I was telling the truth and that Delia didn't give two fucks about him. The thing about Delia was that she was obsessed with Celine. She didn't know it but she was. And it wasn't a recent thing ei
CELINE HERRERA POV The ride was filled with tense silence and every time I glanced at Belshar, I could tell that he was in deep thought. I didn't know how to feel or what to do to make the atmosphere playful like it had been since we went to the beach. He was facing away from me, choosing to stare out the window, probably because he didn't want to look at me.The heated moment we shared in my office was still fresh in my head. I could also remember the moment that ruined it all. I'd almost blurted out that I loved him but stopped at the last second but I was certain Belshar knew that I'd almost confessed.I'd hurt him even without meaning to. Was he pissed off? How the hell did I want to go about seducing someone who was in a bad mood anyway?I glanced down as his hands flexed on his thighs, the veins on his arm making me swallow. my eyes strayed to the center of his parted leg and a soft gasp escaped my lips as I stared at the prominent bulge tenting his pants. My cheeks heated up
CELINE HERRERA POV I looked up at him through my lashes. "I thought we were only going to be having dinner... Why the sudden serious atmosphere" I said, pulling my hand away from him. I leaned forward, my cleavage on display. "You shouldn't ruin such a good moment Belshar" His jaw clenched and he gripped the fork in his hand tightly. "Celine" he hissed, warningly and I arched a brow."Why, I gave you a chance to make me fall for you didn't I... It's only right that I get to seduce you too"Slowly, teasingly, I took hold of the sash of the robe I was wearing and pulled it off, letting it drop to the floor. I got to my feet, letting the robe part, and watched as he sucked in a sharp breath.His reaction made me all the more bolder as I walked toward him, shedding the robe in the process.The material of the lingerie was almost transparent and I knew he could see everything I had to offer."You didn't quite get to finish back at the office. I think we should take care of that, besides,
DELIA HERRERA POV Zyaine had been a beast. Goodness! Who knew good sex was what I needed to feel alive again? I didn't regret taking a chance on him at all. The tension I had been feeling all week was gone and I was less angry.I stepped into the house, the quietness enveloping the space a bit daunting. Did Enoch leave already? "Enoch" I called as I climbed up the stairs. The sound of the shower running alerted me that he was still at home. Getting to the door that led to the master's bedroom room, I fixed my hair, fixed a stoic look on my face, and stepped inside. I knew he was in the shower room. His shirt had been flung carelessly on the floor and the standing mirror had a crack in it. I stepped closer, noticing the smear of blood at the center. What the hell happened here?"Delia" his voice rumbled through the room and I jerked, whirling around to see him standing in front of the bathroom, his toned body steaming and glistening as he wiped the residue of water off his skin. O
CELINE HERRERA POV I woke up wrapped in Belshar's warmth, our naked bodies tangled together. Images from the night before flashed in my head and a smile tugged on my lip. I glanced up from his chest to his beautiful sleeping face, my breath catching in my throat from how divine he looked. I moved a bit, the soreness between my thighs making a small moan escape my lips. Belshar had been a beast at the end of the night even though he started out gently. I even lost count of how many times he made me cum. Remembering just how loud I'd screamed his name each time I came made me blush. It was the most intense feeling and he'd whispered words into my ears that still resonated deep inside.Smiling at the memory, I moved closer to him, my breath catching in my throat when his hand tightened around my waist a bit. His touch went lax and I let out the breath I'd been holding. I gazed at his face, taking in every feature that made him unique. His brow, the small scar at the side of his face
BELSHAR NESSAR ABED POV "I came to see my daughter-in-law since she didn't deem it fit to reach out to me," Séda said, her eyes locking with Celine who stood behind me. I didn't like that Séda was here, after what they did to Celine and what I knew they were plotting against me, seeing them only reminded me that I was a monster and they were my trainer.Celine had managed to tame the beast inside, and for a while, I'd had a taste of what it felt like to have a normal life where I could just be carefree and happy. Séda was a wake-up call.To leave this life behind, everyone in opposition would have to die. The game was never going to end until either I or Kail died. I clenched my fist. "After what you and Father did, I do not think Celine owes you anything" "And what did we do that we haven't paid for Belshar? We are family. Mistakes are made sometimes, you should stop holding such a grudge against us... After all, you got your pound of flesh. I thought we had an agreement and was
