CHAPTER 86: MAKE YOUR CHOICE

Braelyn’s POV

"Good night, birthday girl." That traitor said waving her hands at me. I glared hard at her.

"I will get you for this." I hissed at her. I swore I was going to kill her and Lucien. Lucien walked out of the kitchen carrying me like a sack of potatoes. Humiliating, that was what I was going to describe it as in one word.

Lucien’s shoulder dug into my stomach as he walked, completely unbothered, like I weighed nothing but a bag of feathers. My hair fell loose down my face and brushed against his back. I pounded weakly at him not because I wanted him to drop me, but because this was humiliating.

"Put me down! Lucien, I’m serious!" I hissed, my voice a whisper-shout because Genny and Joey were still close enough to hear.

He didn’t even flinch.

"Can you stop squirming around?" he said in that maddening, calm voice, "I am already in an awfully bad mood and trust me, I don’t mind continuing what we were doing on Genny’s coach."

I froze. My lips parted and closed as I sucked in a deep breath. Heat flooded my face again. My legs, even upside down, squeezed together because my body remembered his mouth on me seconds ago.

Genny and Lucien were not the only traitors in this apartment. Even my body had forgotten who she owed loyalty to after all these years I have kept her alive. 25 years and she has no sense of loyalty. Traitorous slut....great now I even call myself a slut because that’s what he was turning me into

Joey was confused by the sight but a small smile tugged his lips. "Good night." He chuckled before he stepped out the door. I could clearly hear him add. "Have fun tonight.."

Have fun my ass. I gave him a betrayed look before the door slammed in my face even Joey too.

He stepped out into the hallway. The air was cooler here and brushed over my skin. I wriggled harder, mortified.

"Lucien.. people live on this floor.." I begged trying to get out of this situation..I should have known better when I accepted a gift from the devil.

"So?" he replied like the villain he was.

"I SWEAR I WILL BITE YOU!"

He sneered at me. His grip on my waist tightened. "You already did before. Don’t push your luck." His voice dipped before he added

"But you are free to dig your teeth in my skin, preferably the tip of the cock you were grinding against earlier." How could he be so crude

My body turned molten and my soul departed from this mortal plane. The realisation of what happened in the kitchen crashed into me at once. I was truly shameless rocking against his groin like I desperately wanted his cock to fill me

Which, at the moment, might have been true because he had me under the same spell he used on other girls. I groaned covering my face with my palms.

My life was over.

He finally reached the elevator and tapped the call button, still carrying me like luggage. I could hear my pulse in my ears. My voice came out breathless.

"Lucien... I mean it. Put me down."

This time, something in my tone must have hit somewhere real.

Because he exhaled slowly, almost reluctantly. Then his arm wrapped fully under my thighs, and he lifted me gently upright. I slid down his front until my feet hit the ground.

My body pressed against him the entire way down until the elevator arrived. He was just staring at me as he was trying to figure out something and naturally, I looked away finding the wall more interesting

The elevator dinged and the doors slid open. He freed me and we stepped in. Unfortunately, we were the only ones inside and the space suddenly felt too empty. It felt like this was the first time I realised how tall and large this man was. My saliva slowly rolled down my throat.

They closed and in the next second, he cornered me. His musky cologne was mixed with the stench of alcohol from the beer he had been drinking earlier, and yet something was drawing about it.

His hand slammed beside my head. I flinched as he caged me in. His other hand slid to the small of my back, pulling me just close enough that my breath tangled with his.

The air turned thick, charged with tension, desire, and arousal. I thought I had gotten over the feeling, but my thighs immediately clamped together, and I almost slid down if he wasn’t holding me.

His eyes were darker now, those hazel orbs were burning into something nearly black.

"Do you have any idea," he murmured, voice low enough to shake inside me, "what you do to me?"

My throat tightened. I couldn’t breathe. His forehead leaned in, nearly touching mine.

The elevator hummed, descending slowly, painfully slowly, like the entire building was conspiring.

"I was this close," he said, lips brushing my cheek, "to taking you on that counter."

My knees buckled. His hand slid down, catching my waist before I could fall.

"And you wanted it. You didn’t stop me." He didn’t ask. He stated it. He was speaking like I was the one who took advantage of my vulnerable state and kissed me

My heart twisted. He was the one who did that. I managed to meet his gaze. It took everything for me not to crumple at that moment

My voice came out cracked. "It was the moment... I was overwhelmed, Lucien. You are just overreacting because of your blue balls." I sneered.

"No," he whispered, leaning in until his lips grazed my ear. " Overwhelmed, was that all. This is the second time we almost crossed that line in our fake relationship." He hissed, drawing the last word.

He was too close. He was forcing me to say something but he knew there was only so much we could selfishly take. "Stop acting like you weren’t the one who kissed me," I said and he froze like cold water was poured over him.

Lucien chuckled, his jaw rolled. "What am I going to do with you, little Viper?" Something about his laugh gave me chills.

He stepped back giving me space to breathe. I leaned against the wall still staring at him. "If you can’t handle it you can just bail. I would just get someone else." I said and his hand slammed over my head again

"Don’t push me more than you already have, Braelyn," he hissed, his eyes trailing my face down to my cleavage. "If not, I will slam you, face against this wall and fuck you from behind until your legs give up... I will fucking do what your body was begging for earlier..." That was a clear threat

"If anyone gets to play this game it has to be me. I warned you once it starts there is no turning back." He threatened the elevator and slid open.

"Make up your mind on where we lie Lynn." He said before stepping out of the e

levator. He was truly angry....but he was the one who crossed the line.
