Her sweet voice entered his ears and dissolved like a melting sugar cube. A sly smile with a hint of mischief found its way to her red lips.
Wu Chen unconsciously smiled back at this little devil in front of him. "How did you know?"
Evelyn giggled playfully. "Mister, if you're being stared at intensely for a good few minutes, I think you'll notice it too."
"There are a lot of people here, Ms. Ru." A deep and mellow voice, so intoxicating and addicting. It teased her ears in a way that made her heart pound.
Unknowingly, she became a little nervous, still there was no indication of her stepping back. She couldn't help but be drawn to this particular magnetic field.
"Indeed." Evelyn played with her glass. "Well, I saw you." Her long eyelashes fluttered as she lowered her gaze.
Wu Chen licked his lips and was about to say something when someone dancing accidentally knocked Evelyn from behind. It was too sudden and Evelyn dove forward. The glass on her hand crashed onto the floor.
Before he knew it, his arm had already circled her waist and stole her into his embrace. Evelyn's face pounced onto his sturdy chest. In a flash, her mind went blank and her heart slammed against her chest, it was beating incoherently.
He looked down at the small and soft little one in his arms. His left hand on her open back. As he moved it a little, he could feel her fair and milky smooth skin against his palm.
Evelyn had never worn something so open like this before. She always rocked a pair of jeans and T-shirt or hoodie and that was it. She hid her figure quite well all this time. Now, feeling a skin contact somewhere she had never revealed, she shuddered a little and with reflex squeezed the fabric beneath her hands.
It was a strange feeling.
'...but...good.'
Wu Chen raised an eyebrow at her reaction. Evelyn looked up and grinned awkwardly. "Sorry." She let go of him afterwards.
But clearly, Mr. Wu interest had been piqued. A second after she released her hands, he caught one of them with his left hand and put them back on his chest. He whispered, "Hold on tight."
With his right arm still around her waist, he whisked her across the dance floor towards his seat.
"So, what's your business in Paris?" asked Wu Chen, talking right beside her ear.
Evelyn turned her head slightly and their nose grazed one another. She could feel his subtle breathing and his sexy lips as she lowered her gaze.
"I might tell you if you buy me a drink." Her glazed eyes attractively eyed him.
The corner of his lips raised into a smile, carrying a hint of unbridled arrogant air. Without another question, Wu Chen immediately bought her a drink.
"Now, can you tell me, Miss Ru?" He brushed her cheek lightly and caught a lock of loose hair, twirling it with his finger playfully.
Evelyn blinked her eyes as she looked at the drink on the table. He really bought one. She was just teasing him actually. She didn't know what came into her, she just felt like...messing around...somehow...
Her head felt light and the beat of the music was good. It lifted her dull mood. Ugh, she probably shouldn't take that drink anymore. She had had her shots with the girls when they first came in.
But she couldn't just pass on it, right? He bought it for her. Might as well drink it.
So she picked up the drink and sipped it, before she whispered to his ear, "I said I 'might'."
"Now, that's unfair, Ms. Ru." This time, he was really close that his lips brushed her earlobe. Feeling ticklish, Evelyn giggled like a child.
"Well, Mr. Wu, life is indeed unfair." She took another sip of her drink, unfazed.
"Oh? Speaking from your experience?" He asked curiously.
Evelyn nodded. Like how she was dragged to Paris out of her will. And how she was an orphan.
"Let me guess, then?"
She raised an eyebrow in respond.
"Heartbroken?"
"Do I look like someone who's been dumped, Mr. Wu?" She snorted.
Wu Chen scanned her from head to toe. She was...beyond beautiful. She looked different when he first met her back at the hotel. She was shining brightly tonight, her makeup was exquisite bringing her beauty to another level. She dazzled him, making his eyes unable to stray even for a second.
And her glossy red lips slowly stirred the beast within him. Not to mention when she licked her lips after she drank or when she bit her lower lips. It was crazily bewitching.
He really wished to ravish that lips. So fucking sexy!
But that was not the end to his horny session as Evelyn lifted her legs and crossed them. Her gesture caught his attention. His throat was dry.
"Well?"
"No," he said, his voice hoarse. "I guess it's the opposite. Guys are lining up for you?"
There had to be something wrong with her. She had this unstoppable urge to kiss him right now.
'Gosh, he's so handsome.'
"Then, are you in that line, Mr. Wu?" It just slipped out of her mouth. She was still in a daze, studying every corner of his face.
One sentence from her and it lit up the fire in him. He snatched her drink and set it aside before he seized her lips. There was no rejection, in fact, Evelyn responded. He slipped his hand towards her back and pulled her closer 'till their body touched one another, her breasts pressing against his chest. It aroused him even more as he deepened his kiss.
His fingers hooked her chin and caressed it slightly like an order for her to open up. In reflex, Evelyn parted her lips and his tongue slipped in, ravishing her inside as his kiss became more overbearing. It was like an attacking thunderstorm that plundered her mouth, electrifying her whole being. It was wild and feverish.
Evelyn lost herself in the moment. She ran her fingers through his hair as her tongue continued to tangle with his. It was like a competition with one trying to conquer the other.
She pulled him in by his neck and he moved forward, finding his right knee between her thigh. She moved her left leg but he caught it with his right hand. Locking her down, he ran his hand up her thigh and found his way under her skirt.
Noticing his movement, she bit his lower lip and sucked on it. He groaned in pleasure. With this chance, she caught his sneaky hand and instead, intertwined their fingers. She held him tightly as their earth-shattering kiss continued. It was wet and devastating.
Before long, his lips moved away from hers. Their breath were panting. Her cheeks were flushed. She was delirious at this point and her eyes were hazy. All she could think was...
....she wanted more.
Thus, she moved in, trying to capture his lips once more. But instead, they only brushed slightly as his lips went to kiss her chin and proceeded downwards. When he kissed her neck, she moaned quietly, finding herself slowly melting in his passionate embrace. Hearing her voice, it enticed him even more.
He wished to hear it again. He nipped on her collarbone. The sweet pain surprised her as she shuddered and let out another moan. He enjoyed this melody very well.
On the other hand, Evelyn was getting a bit impatient with his teasing. She suddenly cupped his sharp jaws within her palms and pulled him up. She slammed her lips against his.
He chuckled under his breath at her approach. He liked it, very much. But it didn't stop there. Evelyn surprised him as she pushed him to the side and rode him. She fitted just right on his lap.
They continued kissing, entangling each other, her hands around his neck and his hands wrapping her slender waist. It was at this moment, she could feel something hard against her lower part. Knowing what was happening, only made her stomach tightened like a knot, she felt it squeezing. He noticed it too, he could feel her lower part tensing up.
"Evelyn!!"
"Eve!"
Between the loud beat of the music, suddenly Evelyn faintly heard someone calling her. But she was already lost in the moment and kept on embracing him.
"Evelyn!!"
Evelyn frowned. Wait... this voice.
"Eve!"
Shit! Song Biyu and Jia Xin. It finally struck her. She snapped back to reality. While she kept locking her lips with his, her right hand slowly reach for her handbag. She skillfully flipped it open and pulled out a handkerchief.
It was one quick movement. The next thing he knew she had already vanished from his arms. Wu Chen was dumbfounded for a moment. Then, he removed a white handkerchief with a golden stitches from his face. The fabric smelled like cherry blossom in March; gentle, soft, and intoxicating.
....Just like her.
--------------
In the restroom.
Evelyn stared at the reflection in the mirror. The woman's red lipstick was smudged, her messy bun was halfway undone, and her eyes were watery.
She covered her face with both of her palms and let out a long sigh.
'What the hell did she do back there?' She cursed under her breath.
Then, she began to tidy herself up in a hurry before leaving the restroom to find her friends. However, just her luck, she saw him coming at her across the crowd. She immediately became flustered and ran away. She squeezed herself into the crowd as she proceeded to the exit. Wu Chen painstakingly tried to catch up to her.
"Evelyn, wait!" He shouted.
Her heart jumped hearing her given name finally coming out of his mouth instead of her family name. But she kept on going. As soon as she was out, she saw a couple coming out of a taxi. She rushed to the taxi without a second thought.
"Hôtel de Crillon!" Eve exclaimed from the backseat. And the driver complied.
By the time Wu Chen arrived, he only saw the taxi drove away.
