CHAPTER 105: ENTRAPPED

• ELOISE •

What are you doing, Eloise?Why did you hold onto him even though you told him to leave?

My body acted on its own. The moment he turned away to leave, I got...scared.

I’m pathetic. I told myself space was needed, but I still wanted him to stay. This inner battle made my head clatter for any meaning why I held onto his jacket.

"Good." Drevon cupped my cheek, stroking with his thumb, his eyes doused with a number of emotions, and it made his molten crimson eyes more stunning. "Because I have no intention of leaving anymore."

My gaze grew tender.

"Even if you tell me to leave again, even if you take off the nail. I still won’t leave."

"The nail won’t come off," I mumbled in response.

Our lips were dangerously close, but we both didn’t make any attempt to seal a kiss. I placed my hand on Drevon’s chest and gave a push so that his back rested on the headboard, and I saddled him.

His hand freed my cheek and dropped to his sides, eyes searching mine as did mine.

"Is this cheat day?" he asked as a smile curled on his lips.

Giving him an answer, I broke down the walls and kissed him softly, just a peck.

Drevon had his eyes closed in delight, and I allowed myself to take in this view, melting from the inside out, my breath hitching as I was struck by the idea that a man like him was overwhelmed by just the feel of my lips.

He looked as if he had felt the clouds and stayed just to appreciate the feeling. In a heartbeat, I leaned down to him and pecked him again.

"You’re teasing me..." He murmured, flaring his eyes a bit, making his dark lashes longer. "Do you realize how dangerous that is?"

My lips brushed against his again, this time I didn’t tease as I allowed myself to savor the flavor of them.

"I shouldn’t be doing this, I should push you away," I muttered between kisses.

"Don’t do that to me, little wife. I know I scared you, I didn’t mean to."

"Oh, Drevon." I encased my arms tightly around his neck and kissed him intensely.

I shivered when I felt Drevon’s hand clasping my waist, moving up and down in a slow caress, and goosebumps formed on my skin.

Our mouths danced, my head tipped at an angle to taste him more, enjoying the way his lips roamed mine delicately, letting me have my fill as much as I wanted.

"Did you miss me?" he questioned, only for me to conceal his mouth again. "Eloise?"

When I didn’t reply, I felt his lips stretch, and he spoke. "I’ll take this as a yes."

I squeaked when he pulled me down, hanging me in mid-air, with his hand beneath my back.

"W-What?" I asked nervously.

"I thought you’d hate me."

I clenched his jacket tightly in response.

"Did that sight of me scare you?" He asked with worried eyes. "The way you looked at me as if you’d seen a stranger."

I felt pain in my chest. "Yes," I admitted.

His eyes softened beyond reckoning. "That which you saw is also me, Eloise, and this part you see right now, entrapped by everything about you, compelled by the caress of adoration, consumed by the emotions that almost make my heart give out. Only you can ever make me like this, and only you get the luxury to see this."

He positioned me back on the bed, taking my wrists together and trapping them above my head. "Feel this?" he gave a gentle kiss to the pulse in my neck.

My lashes fluttered, and my eyes closed in bliss.

"Everything you see, everything you feel, is all because they are meant for only you. You’re the reason I can boldly be the man you want and more."

"Drevon..." I moaned softly as his kisses got hot and consuming. I jerked as he dragged them on my skin; his tongue followed whenever he chose, tasting and licking as if I were the sweetest elixir he had ever found.

A satisfactory groan vibrated through his chest.

"Do you want to know the darkest part?" he licked from my chin to my cheek and proceeded to my ear, taking my earlobe between his teeth. "I pray you don’t, not for your sake but for those who’d dare curse harm on you."

"Ah!" I gasped when I felt his teeth grazing my neck.

"I have this profound urge to bite you, Eloise. My mouth waters just by the thought of sinking my teeth into your delicate flesh."

My eyes were dazed as everything blurred beautifully, just a brush of the wind from the window caused goosebumps to rise, and being trapped beneath Drevon did no justice to how sensitive I was, and the moment he told me he wanted to bite me, I wanted him to, and strangely, I wanted to bite him too.

Just when I thought he would sink his canines into my neck, I felt his lips on my throat, and a kiss was placed before he asked. "Does it feel cold?"

"N-No," I pondered why he asked, but that soon withered away when I felt Drevon’s hand fumble my breast like he held onto the softest of cushions.

I inhaled sharply as his big hand shrouded completely before I felt his thumb rubbing against the hardened nipple. I bit down on my bottom lip hard until it felt like I’d break the skin there.

I turned my head to the side when I felt his mouth through the material.

"Forgive me, little wife, but this has to come off. I’ll make more for you."

Before I could make sense of what he meant, I heard a tear, and his mouth covered my bare nipple.

I swallowed thickly in breath, my chest heaving as his tongue circled the hardened area, while his hand played with the other as if he were performing an instrument.
