Chapter 70

To my surprise, Ethan didn’t stop. His kiss grew more passionate, filled with a hunger I could feel deep within him. For a brief moment, I forgot myself in his arms, our lips devouring each other as if we couldn’t get enough.
His tongue danced with mine, sending shivers down my spine. I felt his hands roaming my back, pulling me closer, as if he wanted to consume me whole.
The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the intensity of the moment. His lips were fierce, demanding, and yet gentle, savoring every second of our kiss.
I felt myself getting lost in his embrace, my heart racing, my soul on fire. It was as if time stood still, and I had forgotten everything, even my mission.
We kissed for what felt like an eternity before he finally pulled away, his breath hot against my lips. “I’ve really missed you, Emily,” he whispered, his minty breath sending tingles through my body.
As soon as our lips parted, I quickly regained my composure, moving back to the motherboard and pulling out the flash drive. “I think there’s something wrong with Alpha,” I said, turning my attention to the monitor.
“Don’t worry about Alpha,” Ethan whispered, turning me back to face him and lifting me as if I weighed nothing. “I want you, Emily. I want you right here and now,” he said, his voice thick with lust and desire as he pressed me against the wall.
I stared at him, feeling that same desire flare up within me. A sudden wave of heat washed over me, and all I could think about was how much I wanted him.
“I want you too,” I whispered, holding his face in my hands and crushing my lips against his. As our lips met, I found myself falling deeper into a trance. Each time his tongue touched mine, I sank further, closing my eyes to savor the sensation of his lips.
I wrapped my legs around him, finding my balance as his hands moved from my hips to my body. He pulled away briefly, smiling at me before placing soft, delicate kisses along my neck.
“Ethan,” I moaned, my voice barely audible as he trailed kisses down my neck, his breath hot against my skin. With a swift motion, he lifted me higher, and I felt myself being swept away into a world of pure sensation.
His hands slowly traced the contours of my body, and I arched my back, giving him access to the zipper of my dress, which he pulled down effortlessly.
As my dress fell off my chest, he unstrapped my bra making it fall too, as soon as my br***St were open, he cupped them with his hands.
I let out a soft moan the moment he squeezed, pleasure coursing through me as he began to kiss his way down my neck.
I found myself gasping for air each time his lips touched my bare skin, his mouth slowly making its way to my breasts. When he finally reached my nipple, he tugged on it gently, drawing a louder moan from me.
I hadn’t realized just how much I missed Ethan-his touch, his lips, the way he made me feel alive.
My breath quickened as he began to handle my breasts with an intensity that bordered on possessive. He tugged, sucked, and licked as if he were savoring the sweetest nectar, making me feel more desired than ever.
At the same time, his hands moved to lift my dress, his fingers hooking around the waistband of my panties. He was about to remove them when I suddenly snapped back to reality, remembering who I was and what I was about to do.
This is the same man you’re about to betray, I reminded myself,
the thought piercing through the haze of desire.
“Stop,” I whispered, my body almost rebelling against me for saying it. I wanted him so badly, my body craved him, but I knew it wasn’t right.
“Not now,” I insisted, pushing him gently, hoping he’d let me down.
“Why not?” His eyes pleaded with me, searching for an answer, but I just shook my head.
“I can’t get over the fact that you broke up with me,” I said, watching as hurt flashed through his eyes.
“I did it to…” he began, but then his eyes squinted as if he was reconsidering his words, and he gave up.
“I understand. Take your time,” he said softly, setting me down gently.
As he let me go, he turned to face Alpha, which was still beeping. My heart raced, knowing that Ethan was about to discover what I had done.
“Why is it beeping like that?” I asked, feigning innocence as I watched Ethan touch a few things on the keyboard, restoring Alpha to normal.
“I think it was just a glitch,” he said, his voice uncertain.
“A glitch?” I repeated, trying to sound surprised.
Ethan glanced at me, and for a moment, I saw a flicker of doubt in his eyes. He seemed unsure, but quickly regained his composure.
“Yes, just a glitch,” he said again, trying to sound confident. But I couldn’t shake the feeling: did Ethan really believe it was just a glitch, or was he pretending not to know that I had just hacked his computer?
