Kraius was eyeing Rhezi. He didn’t even let go of his gaze on her as she walked away from him. It was glued on the woman emphatically on the receding figure while his fists were clenched. He was mad. It was obvious in his aura.
He flinched when someone snaked in his arm. His eyes immediately squinted and quickly turned his looked at it. He instantly saw his current hook up. She smiled as her lips turned red because of the lipstick used.
“You seemed angry. Is there a problem?” the woman asked.
Kraius shook his head and made no attempt to answer it. His companion frowned and just led the young man to sit in the lounge where his friends were. They occupied the VIP area and all were obviously enjoying themselves.
“Hi, K!” they greeted him. Kraius just nodded and didn’t answer.
When he finally sat down, he immediately looked around the whole place. The forehead was furrowed while his intent look was still very much evident. He was looking for Rhezi and immediately saw her sitting with her friends. They were at the side of the place and were talking and obviously laughing.
The VIP area was just a meter away from the table around the dance floor. It was parted and covered with glass, while the lights were more dimmed and colorful. Bigger couches and more spacious than the area outside of it. There was also a large TV installed for those who want to watch. A different one than where Rhezi’s was seated so Kraius could clearly see her every move. Her nod and smile at friends, even the movement of her hands and arm that seemed to attract anyone there.
Everything seemed perfect as Kraius watched Rhezi. She was undeniably gorgeous among all the women inside the club. The way she held the wine glass was with class. Even, how she sipped on it was like a temptation to his sight.
Kraius swallowed and just shook his head. He also cursed in his mind and closed his eyes firmly. He was obviously heating up from the sight of her. He was confused and fucked up as hell. Especially since he couldn’t determine why her husband even lets her out late at night.
“Want some drink?” the woman he’s with offered him. She smiled seductively and licked her lower lip after. She also intentionally hit Kraius arm with her bountiful breasts.
“No, thanks!” Kraius replied.
The woman frowned and asked, “What’s with you?”
Kraius shook his head and leaned back on the couch. He already hated how the girl acted. He was pissed on how she turned out to be clingy. Eventually, the young man simply accepted the wine and drank it.
The liquor was hot as usual. Its intense savor and flavor were biting into Kraius’ throat. Bitter but delicious while it lasts. He drank more from it, even the last drop and the crowd cheered for him. Even the woman whose arms were still wrapped around him had a smile of victory on her lips.
As Kraius’ companions at the table began to leave, he was also beginning to get used to the music that was on. The club became even more noisy when a popular band began to take the stage. They were singing Demons by Imagine Dragons and the crowd seemed occupied. Some were dancing in the middle of the dance floor while others were just watching and listening.
“I want out Kraius,” the woman whispered. She also ran her hands over his thighs.
Kraius’ attention shifted and looked at the woman intently. She was beautiful but he couldn’t find his interest in her again. He shook his head, which made the woman frown at him.
“Look-”
Kraius’ plan to talk to her was stopped when the people around shouted. He furrowed his brows and shifted his gaze. Suddenly, his jaw clenched. His fist also clenched as he watched the woman dancing in the middle of the dance floor.
Her body moved seductively. Her swaying was like a temptress personified. The way her hips experty moved to the beat was giving Kraius an undeniable feeling of insecurities, hatred and longing. He hated the fact that the one who could give him satisfaction and contentment was the one who left him for years.
Dammit!
“Where are you going?” the same woman asked Kraius as he suddenly stood up.
Kraius shook his head and didn’t utter a word. He also ignored the woman’s call to him. He seemed serious and deadly, walking towards the crowd. There were many people around on the dance floor already, but his feet were still going in the same direction. To the laughing woman dancing with a gay-looking man.
Kraius wasted no time when he reached what he wanted. Even if the people there looked at him, still he didn’t care. He was behind Rhezi. He could also smell her intoxicating perfume. It captured his system as if he was hypnotized while she’s still unaware of his presence and still busy dancing.
Kraius let out a deep breath before finally grabbing Rhezi from behind. He could feel her body stiffened. He smiled and pressed her body even closer to his. He then bowed down to her and sniffed her nape while Rhezi’s eyes instantly widened. She even stopped what she was doing.
“Didn’t you know that you’re an eyesore, Mrs. Bailey? ” Kraius whispered.
“What are you doing Mr. Montreal? ” Rhezi asked. She also forced itself out of Kraius’s grasp. But, the latter was stronger. He even held her hand as if he didn’t want her to escape.
Kraius chuckled softly. He even glared at the man who was dancing with Rhezi a while ago and raised his middle finger. He received an elbow from her but that didn’t matter to him. While the dance floor was still noisy because of the people there and the young woman’s friends didn’t care about what was happening to Rhezi too.
Krius manipulated their every move. He swayed and guided Rhezi to dance with him, which she did. He even trailed his hands on her thighs and locked her waist with it. Until they both swayed in a slow pace that they didn’t realize how they both enjoyed the moment.
When Rhezi’s dance partner left, Kraius laughed out loud. He turned Rhezi to face him and shook his head while his eyebrows rose. He even dared to look at her from head to foot and took off his leather jacket, after.
“Wear that. It doesn’t suit you what you’re wearing, ” he said loudly as he reached for his jacket he just stripped on.
“When else did I need your opinion? For your information, I look stunning Kraius, ” Rhezi replied. She looked at the jacket and shook her head. “Keep it, Mr. Playboy, ” she added.
Kraius eyebrows became one line before he found his voice again, “What the fuck! Don’t accuse me of something I am not, Chubz. ”
” Really? ” Rhezi raised an eyebrow. Her eyes bore the image of someone walking towards them. She was still the blonde woman she saw in Kraius’ office. She wore a cropped top while her perforated shorts were as short as a panty.
Kraius turned his gaze behind him as Rhezi’s attention was seriously focused on it. He cursed under his breath when he saw what it was. He was ready to burst out when someone bumped him from nowhere causing him to lose his balance.
Though his back hurt a little, Kraius still smiled when he knew who he was hugging. He looked at Rhezi’s face and saw her eyes were close. She was laid above him on his chest side while her hands gripped tightly on either side of the floor.
“See? You still fall just for me, ” Kraius said with a smile. He stood up and helped Rhezi. A few people who had witnessed what happened didn’t care at all.
The whole place became even noisy with louder music mixed up with everybody’s shouts. People became more aggressive because of the soaring music. The woman who’s with Kraius a while ago didn’t continue to approach them either. While Rhezi and Kraius looked at each other intently. Some of the dancers may have touched their bodies but they seem to be unaware. As if the noisiest place they were in was the most quiet of all for them.
“Cheat with me,” Kraius asked.
His face was serious while his eyes were on her. Rhezi blinked a few times. Did she hear it right? She scolded herself for falling into Kraius’ eyes again. She turned around to look for her friends and found nothing. She wanted to be annoyed at the thought that her friends had left her totally.
“You’re crazy Mr. Montreal, ” Rhezi replied, ready to turn her back on him. But Kraius was still faster and immediately grabbed her hands.
“Yes, I am,” Kraius said and pulled her close. He cupped Rhezi’s face without thinking twice and brought it close to his face. “So, deal with it Chubz,” he said before finally capturing Rhezi’s lips.
Rhezi was stunned. But, what was even more surprising was how quickly she responded to Kraius’ kisses that were gentle and almost melted her sanity. He was obviously teasing her while she was one vulnerable prey.
A fragile creature that had lost her sanity while indulging in a passionate, violent and ambitious kiss from a gorgeous man. The man whom Rhezi only let to possess her lips the way she wanted.
