Gently, he placed a finger on her jaw, causing her to freeze. Slowly, he turned her head toward him and immediately noticed the fear in her eyes that held unshed tears.
“...I don’t like little girls playing detective. So, I’d suggest whatever little ideas you have floating around in your mind be erased immediately. No connecting any dots—because if I have to erase any loose ends that may lead something back to me, just remember I have a few people who simply havenothingto lose.”
Standing to his full height, he sighed. If he weren’t careful, he’d lose this entire ordeal before it even began.
George had finally arrived, and without saying a word, Ivory rushed into the car and slammed the door shut.
Considering this crisis averted, Luca walked away as the car drove off,not knowing that Jin had been listening in the entire time through Ivory’s earphones.
Chapter forty-nine
Delilah
Sitting at Archer’s window, I sighed heavily. It has been a few days since my encounter with Michael, and I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. He never wanted anything to do with me or my family. And I was fine with that up until this point.
When I finally find someone who makes me happy, when I’m working towards a peaceful future between our families… when I have done my best to forget about him completely… why now? Why is now the time to cause me more pain and suffering than relief?
Noticing something being placed on the table beside me, I looked over to see Archer with a cup of tea. Grabbing the handle, I took a small sip before placing the mug back on the table, continuing to gaze outside. Eventually, I felt him take a seat, and my cheeks warmed slightly as he caressed my leg slowly.
“Princess,” he said. It was the first time he had spoken to me all morning as he allowed me to sit in silence ever since I’d woken up.
“Hmm?” I replied softly as I gazed at the cars passing below.
He continued running his hand up and down my leg. “You’re overthinking again,” he stated.
I didn’t say anything. He wasn’t entirely wrong, but letting him know that would just prove that he truly does know everything about me.
Shrugging my shoulders, I continued my people-watching when I felt him abruptly turn my face with his hand under my chin. With how he turned my head, I expected him to be agitated that I was essentially ignoring him, but his eyes were soft as he genuinely wanted to make sure I was okay.
“Thinking about it too much will only make you hurt more, baby...” he muttered as he left a small kiss on my cheek.
I nodded my head slowly. “I know,” I muttered, and my breath hitched as he continued caressing my leg. I ignored it and leaned in to kiss his lips, to which he eagerly responded.
Moaning softly into the kiss, I felt him tower over me as he held my waist in his hands. Pulling my body closer to him, he let out a long sigh before resting his head against mine, his eyes closed. He seemed to be having an internal battle… like he was holding something back.
“What’s wrong?” I whispered softly.
He sighed once again. Pulling back, he opened his eyes again, only this time they held a different emotion.Pure lust.
I gulped softly as he gazed down at me as if I were his prey... which was usually the case. He ran his hands up and down my waist, and I bit my lip as my face continued to redden.
“I have an idea or two to get your mind off this. The only issue is that it’s only mildly inappropriate. Definitely wouldn’t work the way my mind is thinking,” he muttered, and my mouth went dry as his hand neared the waistband of my shorts.
A distraction.A naughty… lust-filled distraction could be exactly what I needed.
“W-well… it wouldn’t hurt to try, right?” I whispered, and his eyes only darkened.
“It wouldn’t hurt at all, Princess,”he muttered, and I watched his hand as it slowly entered my bottoms. I squirmed softly as his hand left my skin feeling hot, yet he seemed unfazed. He went lower, and I bit my lip as his hand pressed against my center.
“Archer,” I moaned softly as he pushed aside my underwear and pressed his fingers against my folds.
“My little princess is a bit excited, isn’t she?” he asked, gazing down at me. I don’t know if it was our position or my hormones or just the look in his eyes that demanded my attention and practically told me that he owned me, but I felt on fire.
I felt him up against a bundle of nerves that had never been touched, and I grabbed his wrist as I practically begged him to go faster with my eyes. He found it easy to work his fingers against me as if it were his second nature.
He grabbed my hands and held them in one of his own as he went faster, teasing me and toying with me however he pleased.
“You’re too greedy for your own good,” he muttered, and my face flushed red with embarrassment and excitement as he continued. I felt him at my entrance, and I whined as he pushed a finger in slowly, his thumb still resting on my clit. My hips raised eagerly as he fingered me slowly, and he only tsked as he tried holding me still.
