Chapter 10 Burning Desire

ALEXANDER'S POV

Alice and Veronica stood near the grand staircase, champagne glasses in hand, their laughter dripping with mockery as their eyes followed Evelyn.

"She really tagged along just to shuffle for investors." Alice sneered, swirling her drink.

Veronica chuckled. "What else mom? Clinging to a rich guy is probably her only shot at saving that failing company." She leaned in closer, lowering her voice just enough for the words to sting. "You do know she's been with plenty of men before you, right, Alexander?"

I said nothing as I clenched my fist. With my jaw tightened, my grip on the glass turning was so hard that they could pieces.

With their laugh of mockery everywhere in the air, I stared into Evelyn's eyes that was almost teary,

"What matters is that I love her." She faked a smile and that hurt me,

Whusshhhh! I slammed my lips against her, a gripping shock, she felt unsure whether to reciprocate. Again without warning, I made my tongue find hers.

The gala was over, but the fire the kiss lit inside me was nowhere close to dying.

Evelyn sat beside me in the backseat of the car, the city lights flashing through the windows, casting fleeting shadows across her delicate features.

She wasn't speaking, hadn't said a single word since I kissed her in front of everyone. Yet, her fingers kept brushing against her lips, tracing the place where my mouth had claimed hers. It was as if she was searching for an unknown entity as the way I kissed her still felt surreal to her.

She wasn't aware she was doing it. But I saw it. Felt it.

I gripped the leather seat, jaw clenched, trying to rein in the heat that surged through my veins. That kiss wasn't supposed to happen like that. I had meant to stake my claim, to send a message to those watching. It had been rough, meant to show control. But now... now, the memory of it was undoing me and I insinuated it.

She touched her lips again.

And now, I lost it.

Before I could think, I reached across the space between us, cupping her jaw and pulling her to me. She gasped, eyes widening in shock, but I didn't stop. My mouth crashed onto hers, demanding, relentless.

She tensed for a second, but then, she melted.

Her lips parted, and the moment I felt her respond, something inside me snapped. I deepened the kiss, fingers tangling in her hair, pulling her closer until there was no space left between us.

Her hands gripped my suit jacket, as if she needed something to hold onto. I groaned against her mouth, my self-control slipping further.

I shouldn't do this.

I should stop.

But when she whimpered softly, pressing against me like she needed more, like she wanted this just as much as I did, I lost the last shred of restraint I had. As it looked like I wanted to pull out, her moaning grew louder like a dog desperately in need of its walk.

With one swift motion, I lifted her onto my lap, the thin fabric of her dress sliding up her thighs as she straddled me. She gasped, her breath mixing with mine, but there was no hesitation. Her hands found my tie, tugging me closer, her hips pressing against me in a way that made me curse under my breath.

"Tell me to stop." I rasped against her lips.

She didn't.

Instead, she kissed me harder, her hands running down my chest, her body arching into mine. She was now the one in absolute control as I was trying to pull out.

I gripped her waist, fingers digging in, and let myself drown in her. The car faded away. The world outside didn't exist. There was only her, only us, caught in the fire we had both been trying to ignore for too long.

And in that moment, I knew there was no going back.

The fire between us roared more to life, consuming everything in its path. Each kiss sending us heavy breathing. I could feel the heat radiating from her, and it pulled me deeper into a whirlwind of sensation.

Every brush of her skin sent electric shocks through me, igniting a hunger that had been smoldering just beneath the surface. I wanted to worship her, to explore every inch of her body, to lose myself in her in a way I had never dared to before. But even as I reveled in the moment, a dark voice in the back of my mind warned me of the consequences.

Yet I couldn't stop. I pressed my lips against hers more fiercely, rough! As my hands roaming over her back, down her sides, tracing the curves that drove me wild, I felt her breath hitch, her body dancing with rhythm into mine as if she were inviting me to go further.

The car was a cocoon of heat and urgency, isolating us from the rest of the world. I could hear the muffled sounds of the city outside, but they were nothing more than a distant hum. All that mattered was her, the way she kissed me back, the way she responded to my every touch.

I pulled away just long enough to look into her eyes, searching for clarity amidst the chaos. "Evelyn," I murmured, my voice hoarse with desire.

She stared back at me, her gaze fierce and unwavering, a silent challenge hanging in the air between us. "don't stop' she said in between moans.

Her words sent a jolt through me, igniting a fire that had been smoldering for far too long. I didn't have an answer.

Instead, I leaned in, capturing her lips again, my hands roaming freely, losing myself in the intoxicating sensation of her warmth beneath my fingertips.

The urgency of our kisses escalated, each one deeper, more desperate than the last. I felt her hands tugging at my hair, and it only fueled my desire. I wanted to consume her, to mark her as mine, but there was a part of me that recognized the danger of what we were doing.

But in this moment, those thoughts didn't matter. There was no room for reason, only the fire that raged between us, threatening to engulf everything in its path. I lifted her slightly, adjusting her position on my lap, and the shift ignited a new wave of need within me.

"God, Evelyn." I groaned, my voice thick with lust.

I knew that this fire would leave us both scorched, but in that moment, all I could think about was the way she made me feel alive, the way she consumed me, body and soul.

And as the city lights blurred outside the car window, I made a silent vow: there would be no going back. Not now, not ever. The fire between us had been ignited, and I was ready to burn.

Before I knew it, my hands started to rummage inside of her gown, I was looking for the treasure, I reached to her feminine area.

Ahh! The moan that escaped her lips ignited another flame. In hurry, I pulled off my shirt, slamming my lips unto hers, rough and fierce as my hand played on her body, before we knew it, we were both without clothes.

Naked! Her body so fine like wine, "you want this?" I asked unsure of her response yet really open she said yes...

With no words from her, she dug her hands into my pants, pulled my dick and sucked every bits of me as she hummed softly in ecstacy... She chose this!
