Nathaniel Nathan, who had been consumed by desire, found himself torn between laughter and tears at Vera Xavier's words. Her talent for playing dumb was truly first-class.
Her breath caressed his face as she spoke, and her pink lips looked irresistibly luscious. Nathaniel knew he couldn't truly do anything to her tonight, but he wasn't about to deny himself completely, so he crushed his lips against hers.
That soft, warm touch, that sweet taste... For Nathaniel, it was an addiction that had taken hold after the very first time. She was an exquisite delicacy he could never give up, a greed born from that first, unforgettable taste.
Nathaniel let out a nearly inaudible sigh. An indescribable longing flickered in the depths of his eyes. His desire hadn't faded, but it was now tinged with the ache of separation.
He murmured, "Vera Xavier, if you ever dare to tease me like that again, I swear I'll take you right then and there."
