ALESSIA’S POV
“Are you okay?” CeCe asked, her voice jotting me out of my thoughts.
Hell, I wasn’t okay at all, not when the devil himself was lurking around me.
” Yeah.. yeah, I’m fine.” I took a sip from my wine, my legs coiling beneath me.
I don’t know what his gaze does to me, but it makes me melt even when I wasn’t even touched.
Nathaniel’s gaze was on me and so was Cassius.
I was between my college crush and the devil lurking in my life, but only his gaze burned me.
” Hey,” Nathaniel flashed me a cute smile as he sat beside me.
I was so nervous that I felt my heart drumming against my ribcage.
” Hi,” I smiled nervously.
My palms were already sweaty.
” It’s been a while since we met. Hope you’re good?” He asked and I nodded with a smile.
Oh, how I wish to strike a conversation and talk like old days, but I couldn’t, not when a certain eye was piercing me with his gaze.
” Yes, I am good. What about you?” I asked, flowing with the conversation.
I was getting more and more comfortable around Nathaniel, maybe because I still have lingering feelings for him.
” I just got back to Italy. I left after we graduated from college. I went to Australia.” He replied, as he sipped from his wine.
” Wow, I heard Australia is cool. I would love to go there during vacation.”
” Oh, you will love it there. I live in Brisbane (Queensland). It’s cool there.” Nathaniel said.
He cracked a few jokes and I laughed heartily as I got even more comfortable with him, but my heart skips a beat when my eyes come in contact with that of Cassius.
His gaze was burning and I could feel his blue eyes turning a shade darker.
I gulped, and looked away.
I wasn’t going to let him ruin this school reunion with his devilish gaze.
” Hello everyone. It’s boring without playing games, so, who is in?” CeCe climbed the table with a glass of wine in her hand.
I’ve known CeCe to be a crazy rich heiress, but she gets even more crazy when she’s drunk.
” Come down, CeCe.” I tapped her but she smirked at me.
” Let’s play truth or dare. It will be fun!” She announced.
” Sure!” Our old classmates shouted in unison.
Soon, the game started. I was still seated with Nathaniel by my side, while Cassius sat across me, his legs crossed on the other, and his gaze burning my body.
” I will start by spinning the bottle.” CeCe announced and spinned a bottle and it spinned towards me.
My heart raced as I anticipated the question.
” Are you a virgin?” Rachel asked, trying to get on my nerves.
Silence enveloped the room, but I cleared my throat and looked her directly in the eyes.
” Of course, I am a virgin. I’m not like some whore.” I replied, getting on her nerves, and hell! It worked, because she glared daggers at me.
” I will spin now.” CeCe spinned again and the bottle spinned towards Nathaniel.
” I will ask the question.” CeCe let out a mischievous smile. ” Who is your crush here?”
I knew she asked that question intentionally.
CeCe wanted me to know if Nathaniel has a crush on me or not.
” I don’t have one currently, but I have someone I’m willing to spend my time with.” He said, glancing at me with a smile.
” Woah!”
Everyone shouted, well, except for Rachel, Lucas and Cassius.
I knew he was referring to me, and my heart raced at the thought.
I have no idea what was going on with my head and my heart.
My heart raced when Nathaniel looked at me, and when Cassius does, my heart drums ten times more than before.
His gaze had the power to render me powerless and weak.
” I will spin.” I volunteered and took the bottle, spinning it on the table.
The bottle spinned towards Cassius, and my gaze locked with his.
He sat back like a dark Satan that he was.
” CeCe, ask the question.”
I didn’t trust myself, not when his gaze was burning my whole body.
I might stutter and embarrass myself.
” Okay.” CeCe winked and turned towards Cassius, whose gaze never left mine.
” Cassius, are you here for a lady? And what about her do you like?”
I turned sharply towards CeCe.
I never expected her to ask such a question.
” Yes, I’m here for a particular Bunny, who is messing with me. And what I like about her,” he stopped and smirked. ” Her mouth. I like the way her mouth wraps around my cock.”
” Woah! What a badass! Who is she???”
Everywhere turned into an uproar, but his gaze still remained on me.
I was too embarrassed and flushed to continue looking at him, so I broke eye contact and looked away.
” Bastard.” I muffled under my breath.
” Nathaniel, I will be back, I need to use the restroom.” I said and excused myself.
As I walked into the restroom, I saw Rachel walking after me.
I ignored her and went about my business, until she cornered me.
” Bitch, that’s what you’re.” She said, her gaze burning with hatred.
” Aren’t you a bitch. Well, thank you for picking up my trash.” I replied, a proud smirk dancing on my lips.
” And who is the trash?” She asked, her brows cocked.
” We both know, or do you want me to spell it out for you? Of course, Lucas is the trash, so thank you for picking up my trash.” I smiled and walked out of the restroom.
As I made my way towards the VIP section, someone dragged me into a dark room and I almost screamed, but my mouth was covered.
” Who are you? Let me go!” I thrashed my hands and legs, hoping the person would let me be.
” I will only let you go, if you stop shouting.”
That deep baritone voice that made my core throbbed, spoke up and I stopped thrashing around and struggling.
” What do you want from me?” I frowned, staring at his deep blue eyes in the dark.
” You’re playing with fire, Bunny, and you know what fire does to people?” He whispered, trailing his fingers on my cheeks. ” It burns. Fire burns.”
” I warned you against calling my Bunny. I’m not your Bunny.” I said, my breath shallow.
” You love it. I know you do.” He smirked and bit my earlobes.
” What would you like as a punishment for ignoring me?” He asked, as his fingers trailed down to my lips, smearing the lipstick on my lips.
” What punishment? I don’t remember committing any offence.” I replied, my voice filled with defiance.
” For ignoring me. You ignored me like I don’t exist, and for that, you deserve punishment.”
” And what is the punishment?” I was curious and couldn’t help but ask.
” I want to see your cum smeared against my fingers, or fucking you raw, that your cum smears around my cock.” He said, his hot breath fanning my face.
” Choose one of the two.”
” But I don’t want to.” I was stubborn and adamant.
I did want to have anything to do with him.
” Well, you leave me with no option, but to choose whichever I want.”
