CHAPTER 38: MAKING ME WANT IT

I was very aware that we were not alone, and I killed off any thoughts and imagination that I had about what may happen had it been just the two of us.

"I don’t think we need to get something so extravagant," I replied honestly.

Raphael showed me a regrettable grin before turning his attention to the manager.

"Could you look for something that has a similar feel but looks a little less extravagant?" he requested.

The manager quickly left after a few polite words. I started feeling slightly nervous when I realized that I was left alone in the room with Raphael.

"Are you sure you don’t want this? It really suits you," he said, bringing his face close to mine.

The lights reflected in his gray eyes seemed to twinkle as our eyes met in the mirror. I felt the warmth of his hands on my shoulders, making my core tremble slightly. He was really too close to me, and I was overly aware of his presence. His beautiful fingers stroked slowly from my shoulder to the base of my neck before playing leisurely with my collarbone. My heart skipped a beat as I watched the scene unfold in the mirror.

"Are you sure you don’t want this?" Raphael whispered into my ear as his hand slid even lower towards my chest.

The way he looked at me with desire dancing in the depth of his eyes and the way his voice dipped seductively into a low whisper made me realize that perhaps he hadn’t been talking about the necklace all along. My body froze in place, and before I could reply, Raphael planted a soft kiss on my earlobe. My body jumped at his sudden attack as my heart raced even faster in my chest. He wrapped his arms around my body before his hands naturally cupped my breasts. He nibbled on my earlobe as I heard myself let out a whimpering sound. It felt unbelievably good to the point that I had to admit that my earlobes were so sensitive.

"Wait..." I murmured as I struggled in his arms.

My entire body went weak when I felt the hot wetness of his tongue against my earlobe. Raphael flicked the tip of his tongue against my ear before making sweet sucking sounds that made my core tremble as I pressed my thighs tightly together. His hands moved to gently massage my breasts as if he took great pleasure in teasing them. I couldn’t believe that he was doing something so bold. Even though we were alone, that didn’t mean that the manager would never return. I knew that I had to stop him, but the pleasure that surged in my aching core felt too tempting.

"Ahh..." I let out a moan despite myself as his large hands groped and pumped my breasts rougher than before.

"You look so sexy. Your expression is truly erotic," Raphael murmured into my ear.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror, and our eyes met. I found the Raphael was staring directly at me in the mirror, and I was shocked to see the expression that I had on my face. My lips were slightly parted as if I was ready to let out another moan of pleasure, and I had an extremely dreamy look on my face. It looked like I was under his spell, and I had no idea how to break free.

I watched as his beautiful lips approached the side of my neck before I felt its warmth pressing against my sensitive skin firmly. Raphael planted a few soft kisses along the side of my neck, and I found myself drowning in the pleasure of his embrace. One of his hands slowly caressed its way down from my breast to the plane of my stomach before caressing my waist. Although I knew that we shouldn’t be doing this and that I should push him away, my body felt so weak and my mind was so trapped in his that I didn’t know how to resist him. Raphael’s suggestive question kept on ringing in my ears.

‘Are you sure that you don’t want this?’

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door, announcing the return of the store manager. My body jerked in my seat as I pulled his arms away from my body. Raphael quickly removed his arms from my body, but he did not move away from me. A moment later, the door opened, and the manager walked in with a beautiful smile on her face and a tray filled with necklaces in her hands, just as Raphael had requested.

I turned and glared at Raphael to pinpoint the blame on him for putting us into such a risky situation. In response, he just smirked at me as if my concern did not affect him in the least.

"I brought some necklaces for you that I think the lady might like," the manager said before smiling at both of us.

"Thank you very much," Raphael thanked the manager before smiling naturally as if nothing had happened while she was gone.

I could no longer concentrate on the next necklace that the manager brought or anything that happened after that because of the way that my heart skipped a beat at Raphael’s close proximity.

In the end, Raphael ended up purchasing that extremely extravagant necklace despite the other options that the manager had brought.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked while we were waiting for the manager to pack the necklace for us. I hadn’t realized that I had been staring at his face all the while as I pondered whether he just made that excuse to get me alone so that he could tease me.

"I was not staring at you," I muttered darkly in response.

Raphael let out a soft scoff before he smiled at me with both his beautiful lips and captivating eyes, telling me that he didn’t believe a single word that I had said.
