Eve was losing breath.
Lucas was holding her both on her waist and she never expected his light touch to be so warm. No. it was so hot that she felt like being burned under his touch.
When she still kept her arms straight and frozen at her side, his hands brushed up towards her shoulder and cascades down to her wrist. Again, she let out a little gasp at the tension building up inside her body.
Lucas guided her hand and led it up to his nape, suggesting her to wrap it around it. and so, she willingly obeyed.
The music was slow but sensual, hot and provoking. He was also too close to her that she almost thought he’s just making things up to molest or make a move towards her. yet, when she looked around, everyone was doing the same. Some were even worse, almost sticking their bodies too close to the other that it didn’t felt right to watch them. Some were even kissing that she instantly looked away.
And her eyes were caught by a pair of intense eyes grinning at her.
“Are you suspecting I am fooling you?” Lucas asked and she didn’t like it when his voice become low and deep and husk that it was sounding sexier than it usually was.
He even continued, “Or do you want me to do what men and women usually do in a place like this?”
Eve glared at him to warn him but his effect on her was stronger that she didn’t even have the strength to look straight into his eyes. she again looked away, but was surprised when his grip on her waist went firmer.
“Sway it like this…” he muttered, guiding her on the right way to move.
Being a dancer, it wasn’t hard for Eve to sway her body or waist. Yet, dancing in this kind of music and with this man guiding her felt like a crime.
Still, she let him teach her.
At first, it seemed awkward. However, when she was getting used to the music, she didn’t even need his help to sway her body in a sexy and provoking way.
When she lifted her gaze on him, Lucas was grinning proudly.
“I am a dancer so don’t feel so pleased with yourself,” she teased, making him chortled lightly.
“Really? If you’re a dancer, then what about this?”
Without warning, he lifted her arms up, making her turn twice that she felt dizzy for a second. The moment she gained clear sight, she was caught up in his embrace.
Her back was on him as his arms were crossed in front of her. and in this way, unlike before, their bodies were now against each other. and every move she attempts make their bodies brush against each other.
She felt him crouching with his lips on her ear, whispering on her.
“If you’re a dancer, then you must know what you should do.”
It sounded like a challenge. And though Eve already knew what he meant, she still looked around to confirm. And there, in the dance floor, a couple was in the same position as they were and the woman was swaying her hips against the man’s crouch.
And that scene made her cheeks red.
She looked up at Lucas who was waiting at her reply, with eyes that seemed like commanding her to do that move the woman she saw did.
And like as if her body had their own mind, she slowly moved her waist too, brushing against Lucas body. The coarseness and hardness of his body as she brushed her skin against it was making her squirm and embarrassed.
Embarrassed that she liked the feeling aroused by what she was doing with him…
She felt Lucas body tensing, as well as his hands on her waist was gripping on her more tightly. His heart was also beating more ferociously as she leaned her head on his chest as she danced with the music.
His breath went heavier, deeper and harder… like as if, he’s barely controlling himself. And Eve felt empowered by it. she was fascinated that a woman could also have such an effect on a man. and thus, she kept doing it.
Brushing against his body and swaying her hips more provocatively and teasingly…
She wanted to know how Lucas would react. Or what he’ll do if she kept doing it… she wanted to know the extent of her effect on him…
And she’s not far from learning it…
Lucas suddenly gripped her body into a halt, stopping her from dancing. Then, he leaned down, sniffing the scent on Eve’s neck that she was stunned. It’s because he’s almost close to kissing her.
She was nervous that someone might be watching them. Though no one was really looking at them since they’re busy paying attention to their own business.
Lucas breathed a cloud of hot huff on the curve of her neck, making her held her own breath and went stiff. Her heart was now pounding hard against her chest.
“Are you really dancing, Little Miss Eve? Or were you just trying to turn me on? Cause if you’re dancing, I felt proud for being such an excellent teacher…”
Eve glanced at him to meet his eyes, but she instantly regretted it since it only caused his lips to be pressed against her skin. She was about to looked straight back but was held back when Lucas started planting small kissed on her.
She gasped and closed her eyes firmly, stopping herself from going dizzy or insane. For what he’s doing was literally making her lose her mind.
“W-what if…I wasn’t?” she breathed, and Lucas stopped for a while to answer.
“Then… if you’re just trying to turn me on without taking a responsibility, you’re being such a naught tease. And you must be punished.”
Punished…
Eve never heard of a punishment being mentioned and she was ironically invited to it. instead of wanting to avoid the punishment, she was tempted by it…eager by it…
She gasped when she felt him lightly biting her and leaving a mark on her skin, making her let out a soft whimpering moan.
She lost all her strength to even stand up straight, that she completely leaned against his body. at the same time, she felt everything of him.
Lifting her gaze on him, she was met by a pair of fiery dark stares. Slowly, a naughty smile curled on her lips.
“You’re such a good teacher, Lucas…”
It was her answer. And Lucas’ face went darker with it. He wasn’t pleased though it only fueled his desire. A desire he’s barely keeping within him… a desire he had for this woman wrapped in his possessive arms… a desire that soon will turn into something deeper…
…Love.
Hello there! So, this chapter hits my first 10 chaps in this book as well as the first steamy flirting between Lucas and Eve. And it was a thrilling experience for me as I write this one, also making me feel like I was writing a crime or sin, itself. Still, I was hoping you enjoy reading as much as I did while writing. Please drop your reviews and ratings for me to consider what adjustments I could make. Thank you for reading, keep on reading and get heated on!
Shia was having a blast with Simon though most of the time, it was one-sided. Only she was the one who seemed to be enjoying herself since Simon was really not on mood. Still, it was a good thing he still accompanied her drinking. “What music do you like? I like classical ones. You?” At first, Simon was uninterested in all her questions before that he just compulsorily replied. Yet, what she said right now gained his attention. His brows cocked upwards as he looked at her from head to toe. “Are you sure you like classical music? You?” Shia laughed with a pretense sulking. “Hey! are you mocking me? I may not look like it but I really do love classical ones. For me, it’s such calming haven I would trade anything with.” “Then, why are you here
“If you don’t want me to tie you up and send you to your father, pack your things and move from here.” Lucas glanced at his friend and laughed. “I know you can not do that to me, Sim. You know yourself how much you love me.” At his joke, Simon sighed in relief as he threw him a key and a door number. “So please stop exploiting my love and kindness towards you, will you? I still have somewhere to go. I’ll visit you in your new place soon.” “Where are you going?” Lucas asked curiously, making Simon stopped. He looked back. “I’m going to send someone home.” Lucas didn’t ask for more though upon seeing his friend gone, he wondered to himself. “Was it finally a woman?&rdqu
Eve was again back in Piacere. Though this time, she was alone. She called Shia if she could come but she told her she would definitely come yet later than they usually do. So, at the moment, she was alone in the same spot of sofa where they both hang out. Simply taking small sips of the bitter yet sweet cocktail she ordered. She was watching the people on the dancefloor though her mind was far from the place. “I needed to get pregnant as soon as possible,” she thought. Her father would definitely find her in a month or two or probably even earlier than that. So, before that happens and before her fate will be dictated by them, she should have a baby and escape that marriage. But of all the men out here, who will she chose to get her pregnant? Closing here eyes, she whispered silently to herself. “Who
“WOAHHHH! WAHHHHH! I AM FREEEEEEE!” Lucas felt like his eardrums were going to burst any second from now because of Eve’s yelling behind him. She was loud. Unrestricted. Free. Cheerful. And he loves it. He loved it more that he was the one who caused her to be in this euphoria. “Make it faster!” Eve yelled as she leaned into his ear to make sure he heard it clearly. Grinning, Lucas replied back at her. “Then hold tight.” He felt Eve’s arms tightening around his waist that it seemed like she was hugging him from behind. Grinning wide, he accelerated the motorcycle, driving in a flash-like motion. As if, this road belonged to them. An hour after midnight, vehicles barely uses this road along the coast. Thus, Lucas picked this area to bring Ev
CHAPTER 15 “Sh*t!” “W-why?!” Eve blurted out in surprised when Lucas suddenly pulled her into a run. Lucas didn’t glance at her as they exited the restaurant, replying at her. “I will explain later but just run!” “But! Ahhhhh! Who the hell are they?! AND WHY AM I EVEN RUNNING TOGETEHR WITH YOU!?” Lucas and Eve looked at each other, Eve’s eyes widening in fear. For after several minutes of continuous running like as if running from death, they came faced to face with a tall brick of wall. They were cornered. “You really think you can run away from me, Levin. I already swore last time, didn’t I? I will take revenge on you!” Hearing that voice, Lucas immediately stepped in front of Eve: hi
“L-let’s get you to the hospital…Let’s-” “No. Eve. Not there-” “WHAT NOT THERE?! YOU’RE ALREADY THIS WOUNDED! HOW CAN I NOT BRING YOU TO THE HOSPITAL?!” Eve was already sobbing, hands pressing over Lucas’s wound. Benedict and his men had already left when Eve told them she already called the police. Though it was just a lie she made up. and now, she had to watch Lucas bled in her arms. Seeing her worried state, Lucas smiled and chortled that his blood-stained teeth were shown. ‘I didn’t know you love me this much.” “You really even had the guts to flirt with me in this state!?” Annoyed, Eve punched him in his chest, making him gr
It was deep at night after Eve left Lucas's room. She was so tired. both physically and emotionally. She was also so scared when she saw him lying on the ground with a wound in his abdomen. Thus, she was knocked to sleep the moment she was embraced by the mattress. However, in the midst of her deep sleep, she was jolted by a loud rattle coming from the room next to hers. it’s as if furniture’s or tools were being thrown to the wall or to the floor. “Lucas…” she immediate muttered, realizing he’s the one living on the room next to hers. without even fixing herself, not even wearing anything over her nightgown or slipping in her slippers, she run towards his room. “Lucas! Lucas!” she was hysterically yelling, pounding the door as hard as she can. She was worried those men had came back and hurt him again.&nbs
Eve sprinted as fast as she could. She even abandoned the bag of food she bought and directly went towards the elevator. Her father’s guard didn’t also stay as still as before. They immediately chased her, and since there was no bodyguard in the building she was staying at, they entered as they pleased. Eve instinctively pressed her floor button, turning around to make sure they didn’t catch up on her. As she watched them approaching her, she held her breath while the door closes slowly. “Please… please… please shut it close now…” she was praying, eyes not blinking even once as slowly the elevator shut close and at the same time, those men went near her. Her heart dropped. For seconds before the door fully closed, she saw one of them throwing hi
Eve dropped her hand holding the phone to her side. Breathing deeply several times to calm herself, she decided to go out of the bathroom now. however, as she unlocked the door and pulled it open, her eyes widened in surprise by who she saw. Her lips tremble again as she stared at those pair of raven-black eyes. “L-Lucas…” Did he hear it? Did he already know she was leaving him? that she’s betraying him? That she’s planning to take their child away from him? Her heart pounded so hard that all she couldEve dropped her hand holding the phone to her side. Breathing deeply several times to calm herself, she decided to go out of the bathroom now. however, as she unlocked the door and pulled it open, her eyes widened in surprise by who she saw.

Like… Why was he here? How did he know about Theo? Why was he out when he was supposed to be in prison? Why… would he suddenly show up in a renowned party such as this when he’s just some hot hunk who might not be able to afford it? Wait. In the first place, Lucas Levin wasn’t some ordinary man to begin with. But if he wasn’t an ordinary man, then who exactly was he? Turning around, what Eve saw first was a well-dressed man’s body in an expensive black tux that proudly revealed his broad chest and square shoulders. Then slowly, with quivering eyes, she looked up at him.
“You aren’t my father’s mistress, too right? that’s why he let you in?” “Prrrkkk! WHAT THE HELL EVE?!” Shia stood up, eyes were almost popping out of her eye sockets with what she just heard. Of course, she’s a flirt but she won’t ever flirt with an old man! especially, Eve’s father. Although Shia’s face had paled so much from what she just said, Eve just crossed her legs as if she said nothing wrong and looked at her. “I am just stating a possibility. My dad would never let a stranger into his house for no reason. And if you’re his mistress, it will be no surprise since you are beautiful and a real catch. I would even love to live with you rather than his mistress, Livia.” In disbelief, Shia was left speechless. She sat on her chair, gobbling up all the wine left from her glass, and gawked at Eve with wide eyes. She
In your house?” “In. Their. House.” Eve put emphasis on her words since after all, she long had refused to call this place her own house/ home. Shia paused for a moment but replied as she blinked her long lashes away. “Well, I had my own ways…” “You aren’t my father’s mistress, too right? that’s why he let you in?” “Prrrkkk! WHAT THE HELL EVE?!” Shia stood up, eyes were almost popping out of her eye sockets with what she just heard. Of course, she’s a flirt but she won’t ever flirt with an old man! especially, Eve’s father.
Eve was awakened by an adorable angel-like boy in front of her. He looked somewhat annoyed, probably because she didn’t wake up only until he raised his voice. She also noticed that his tiny hands were cupping her cheeks. “Mommy is such a sleepy-head,” he grumbled with pouted lips. And instead of feeling scolded, she couldn’t help but giggle. Just when did you see someone scolding as cute as her son? “Fine, fine. Mommy will now get up, alright? Now, get off me,” she said with a laugh that made Theo’s brow crease even more. He’s really pissed now. Watching her like this, Eve had always wondered if Lucas would look the same if ever he gets annoyed too. because thinking back to when they were together, Lucas seemed to never
“You just said what?!” “I said, give me Morris Hierta’s number,” Eve repeated impatiently but it wasn’t what Shia was asking of. Thus, with the same impatient voice, she answered back, “No, not that one. It’s what you said before that.” Eve paused for a moment and thought of what she said before. She even combed her hair using her fingers since she had been thinking a lot since the day that Theo had disappeared. And trying to think further frustrates her. “You mean, me being back here?” “HELL YES!” That was Shias blurt out. It was obvious that she was already sulking for not telling her beforehand. “I’ve been convincing you for like ages to visit me and you never did even for once. And
‘What are you even thinking, Eve Rizzo? Did you just thought that Lucas would come and see Theo?’ 7 “You’re here. I was here to fetch Theo to a dinner but this guard stopped us. You’re not trying to take my grandson away from me, do you?” Eve was chocked by her own self. She could not believe what she just heard. Her father sounded as if sulking. Thus, she laughed. “How could I, dad? I think Theo loves you already. Isn’t it right, Theo?” She looked down at her son who had been waiting to gain her attention. Theo nodded and smiled wide. “Hmm! I love grandpa but I love mommy more! Do you love me too, Mommy?” “Of course! I love my Theo the most!” Eve was about to carry him but then, she was stunned when her father kneeled to level to Theo and then he carried him in his arms again. “Then let’s go! Grandpa will take you to a dinner even you love your mommy more.” Her dad walked away with Theo, giggling guiltily. After recovering fr
This son of hers… sometimes him being so intelligent in words and memory was too troublesome. Even his love for her can be sometimes too much. What was he thinking, trying to catch Lucas so he can bring him back in their home? To what? To let her hug Lucas instead of his picture? “Damn.” Eve cursed under her breath and run even faster. She just wanted to disappear right now. Such embarrassment… she couldn’t take it. As Lucas watch the woman running as she carried a little boy in her arms, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. Anger. Disappointment. Longing. And desperation.
Theo. Where do you want to study?” At her question, Theo went and sat beside her, looking at the screen of her laptop. Those were lists of schools where he could study kindergarten. Even before Theo could understand things, Eve had always let him choose things in his life. And just like today, she was letting him pick at what school he’ll study. Although he’s just still five, Theo could already read and understand a lot of words. Though he knew far more than what Eve was aware of. Lifting his eyes at her mother, he pointed at the screen. And Eve read it. “Davidson Academy?”
