Whatever he says has a shutter going down Rosa’s eyes and her hand tightening around her glass.
Their marriage won’t be dull, that I’m certain of.
Mine, if I choose to, the same can’t be said.
I’m about to intersect them, when my attention is caught by someone else. My heart stutters as I blink rapidly, thinking my eyes are playing a cruel joke.
It can’t be him.
The pounding of my pulse says otherwise as I stare at that familiar broad back. I would recognize that smooth and cocky gait anywhere. Long-forgotten memories assault me like a freight train.
Soft lips kissing my tears away.
Rough hands eagerly pulling each article of my clothes off.
Mouth licking and sucking my skin while fingers caress the inside of my thigh as they inch closer to my heat. The burn of his hard length, which is piercing my walls.
A deep voice whispering, “Call out my name, Bianca.”
I swallow thickly and shiver, feeling those invisible hands on my body, and search for him. Rosa and Nova are still bickering like an old married couple and don’t notice when I slip away. My feet carry me in the same direction ashim—the man I swore to never run into.
The one I tried harder to forget than the one who broke my heart.
The one who shouldn’t even belong in my world, least of all this place.
The hallway he walked into is narrow and deserted with only dim lights to guide. My heartbeat thuds in my ears as I glance behind, expecting him to sneak up on me. I tell myself he hasn’t seen me and even if he did, he will never approach me.
He only ever liked to watch me from afar.
Just like I did with him, despite promising myself not to each time.
Maybe I deserved what happened to me…
No. I shut down the doubtful and accusing voice inside my head and keep moving ahead. I have to take a left until I stand before a door marked asThe Mirageand below it—private. My curiosity is piqued as I wonder what lies beyond because no noise comes from the other side.
Maybe there is a sex dungeon, after all.
There’s a horizontal brass door handle, so I grab and give it a shove, but it doesn’t budge. I’m disappointed to find it locked and search for another way inside. Do I need a code or a card to enter? I saw him go in this direction, so he obviously didn’t just disappear.
“Ma’am.”
I jump at the voice from behind me and twist to look back. A different guard, this one dressed in black, watches me with a suspicious gaze.
“Women aren’t allowed back in here alone,” he informs me.
“I’m with someone,” I lie, and he notices the subtle hitch in my voice and takes a step forward. “I only came out to get a drink from the bar.”
“May I know their name?”
Fuck! I’m about to tell Nova’s name when I’m whipped backward as the door opens behind me. My grip slips from the brass knuckle while strong and steady hands grab my shoulders.
“Careful, beautiful,” a silky smooth voice says in my ear.
I look up into the brightest blue eyes I’ve ever seen and push away from him. He feels familiar but I can’t place from where. He’s handsome and tall but I can’t find it in me to admire him as I hear the guard’s footsteps come closer.
“Ma’am. I need you to come with me,” he orders like I’m trespassing.
I look between the two men as they keep me trapped. Suddenly, an impulsive idea that will put me in trouble forms at the tip of my tongue. I need to know if it was him I saw. So, just as the guard makes a grab for me, I run past the other man into the still open door.
