THIRTY
I felt someone caressing the side of my face. The touch was gentle, and it pleased me. I nuzzled my face in the hand and signed in content.
“Mani, wake up. We have arrived,” the voice said. But I didn’t bother making any attempt to wake up. I heard someone sigh and felt myself getting picked up. The person carrying me was strong, and his grip didn’t falter even for a second.
I felt myself being carried for some time before I was finally set on something made of cleats. I just smuggled in the warmth and fell back asleep.
When I woke up and noticed I was in a car, I was at the entrance of a luxury hotel.
“Finally, you’re awake,” Sin said, combing his hand through my hair. “Wait here.” He says, giving me a smile as he opens the car door, walking over to the other side of the car before pulling it open.
He extended a hand for me to take, and I did, placing my hand on his and getting out of the car. His strong arm wrapped around my waist, and he pulled me along, making sure that I matched his pace while his men followed behind.
We entered a huge hotel, and Sin already had the key card, so instead, we made our way to the elevator, going to the last floor, which was a penthouse.
We walked into the living room, which was glamorous and huge like an apartment. The entire room was modelled in a polished way, radiating with bright blue lights.
The living room has two sofas and a TV, with a massive terrace displaying the beautiful city outside. There were two bedrooms, so I was elected to choose mine. I opened the first door and walked inside, with Sin following me.
“I already chose this room,” I expressed, giving him a puzzled look.
“Okay,” he said, not moving an inch.
“You can have the other room,” I stated again, but he remained rooted in his spot.
“I’m not going anywhere, love, not after everything we shared last night and this morning.” He stated. “We are staying in the same room.” I was surprised by this new development but not at all against it. I felt giddiness in the pit of my stomach and instead chose to nod, not trusting my voice.
Sin closed the door behind him, then took off his shoes and slumped his huge body on the bed.
“I’m taking you with me to meet some people this evening, so do get ready on time,” Sin said, typing on his phone fervently.
“Sure,” I answered, not really paying attention, as I walked out of the room to explore the penthouse. My excitement is top-notch.
I ended up at the balcony situated in the living room. We were on the twelfth floor, and it was dreadful to look down but delightful to look around.
After exploring the hotel for hours, I returned back upstairs for a relaxing bath in the Jacuzzi, then began getting ready for the night, settling on a comfortable white gown that stopped below my knees and some black flats.
I let my hair down, made sure my make-up was minimal, then went out of the bedroom.
Sin was already waiting for me, since he got ready before me. He looked at my outfits and placed a kiss on my cheek, grabbing my hand and leading me out of the hotel to his car.
The whole ride was silent. No one uttered a word, and though I was eager to know where we were going, I welcomed the silence with open arms.
My gaze remained out the window, taking in the beauty of the city with a face full of excitement and wonder. I couldn’t wait to explore the place tomorrow.
Sin drove at least for an hour before the car stopped in front of a fancy-looking restaurant. We got down, and Sin took my hand in his, walking in like we were a loving couple, and I tried not to blush at this.
The restaurant wasn’t packed, so it was easy for Sin to spot whomever we were meeting, and he pulled me with him towards them.
I was only able to recognize one of them. Luca, the guy who stopped me from leaving the first time I tried to escape. There was a woman beside him and a man across from him with his back turned in our direction.
I took a seat beside Sin, facing Luca. I turned to look at the man beside me and almost fainted in surprise and fear.
Oh my God!
What is he doing here?
What the hell is Jason doing here?
Our eyes met, and with his widening in surprise also, eyebrows raised in confusion. Looking between me and Sin, before his eyes harden. I turn to look at Sin. to find him concentrating on something on his phone while talking to Luca.
This made me let out a sigh; it’s a good thing that he wasn’t paying attention to me. Luca, on the other hand, was looking at me, still talking to Sin, and watching my every move. His eyes wandered from my face to my hand, which were still locked on Sin.
I blushed, looking away, trying to take my hand off Sin’s hold, but his grip tightened a little and he turned to give me a stern look, which made me size up my action.
“It’s nice to see you again, Normani,” Luca said.
“And you too,” I murmured quietly. I knew Luca was a good person, but I wasn’t certain I knew him. He was Sin’s right-hand man, which I knew, and he had been the second person to show kindness to me apart from Zoey.
“What did you say? I didn’t quite catch your words,” Luca asked.
“I said, it’s nice to see you too.” I responded with a small smile.
“I thought you were kidding when you said you were going to kidnap her,” Jason said. I turned to look at him and noticed how much he had changed over the years.
Gone was the teenage boy who broke my heart. His short, light brown hair was shaved neatly at each side, and his nose was pierced, bringing out his handsome features and making him more sexy but not as sexy as Sin. He had tattoos on his hand, arm, and chest, from what I could see.
But I wanted nothing to do with him and do not plan on associating myself with him. It was best to keep my distance.
“Amore, since you have already met Luca. This is Jason and Samantha.” He pointed toward Jason and the blond-haired lady beside Luca. Jason didn’t acknowledge knowing me and just nodded in my direction, which I gladly reciprocated.
“It’s nice to finally meet you, Mani.” Samantha spoke for the first time, and I could hear the sincerity in her voice.
“Victoria had to take care of something, so she couldn’t make it.” Sin nodded at Luca’s words.
“Let’s order; I’m famished,” Samantha stated calmly, while I tried to ignore Jason, who was staring down at me.
Once the waiter left, he took our order. Luca spoke again, saying, “Sam and I would need to take care of the shipment in China.”
“Take care of it this time; you know what to do if there are any compromises.” Sin replied softly as the waiter returned with our food, silencing their talk. I was curious about what they meant but didn’t want to involve myself in anything dangerous.
I wasn’t really hungry, so I just toyed with the food, twisting the noodles around my fork. Sin was watching me.
“You better start eating, Amore, if you don’t want to be spanked right here in front of all these people!” He whispers softly in my ear, making me put the food in my mouth.
It tasted delicious, and instantly my appetite was restored. Sin went back to his food when he saw me eating.
The rest of the conversation between the men was in Italian, while Samantha and I conversed about different things, from likes and dislikes to fashion, but our conversation was cut short when Sin stood up.
I got up too. Samantha and I made plans to hang out with each other before she leaves Paris, and when she comes back to New York.
We bid them goodbye, and I followed him to the car. From everything that happened within the last few hours of the dinner, I could tell they were all scared and respected Sin at the same time.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
When we got inside, I rolled down the window, welcoming the cool breeze of the night. Sin started the engine and drove straight to the hotel.
All of a sudden, his hand grabbed my thigh. I saw him concentrating on the road and tried removing his hand, but his grip tightened, holding me in place. His hand felt warm as they moved up, and I sucked in a breath when his finger brushed my crouch. He slipped his finger inside my panties, and his finger rubbed furiously on my core. The pleasure was building up in me, and I wondered how he was able to concentrate on driving while doing such a lascivious act.
He pulled his fingers back, and I let out the breath I was holding, hating the fact that he was teasing me in such a manner.
When we reached the hotel, I was still flushed and aroused. deciding that a shower was best, preferably a cold one.
After I was done with my bath, I realized I didn’t carry a change of clothes. I stepped out of the shower, putting on a bathrobe before stepping out of the shower.
My eyes wandered off to Sin, still not used to the idea of sharing a room with him. My eyes wandered off to his clad chest, showing off his divine muscle and abs, before wondering down and taking in the sight of his Calvin Klan boxer.
I find myself subconsciously biting on my lips, my eyes slowly taking in his amazing view. I looked up at his face and eyes, finding his eyes on me with a smirk on his face.
“Take a picture, it will last much longer,” he says, making a blush appear on my face for being caught.
“Well, that’s too bad. I don’t have a phone; this would have made a perfect view.” I said it boldly, surprising myself, and Sin’s smirk increased.
“Then we need to rectify that, don’t we?”
“Yeah, sure….” I replied absentmindedly, still staring at his tone of voice until his words clicked. “Wait… what?”
“The phone, amore.” He chuckles. “You need to pay more attention, Mani.”
“Sorry, I can’t help it. You are too distracting.” I answered, and Sin’s brow lifted up as he chuckled.
“You need to stop looking at me like that, Mani.” He said this, walking towards me.
“Like what?” I asked when he stood in front of me.
He leaned down until his lips were almost touching mine. “Like you want me to fuck you.”
My chest rose and fell as I stared at him with eyes full of lust. “What if I do?” My voice was breathless.
Sin’s eyes darkened, and I could see his emotions mirroring mine. “Are you sure about that, Mani?” His lips brushed against mine as he asked.
“I believe we are way past that now. Don’t you agree?” I asked, closing the gap between us, and my lips met his in a feverish kiss.
