Falling short of words, Clara could only stare at Adrian in utter disbelief. But soon his smile bothered her and she slapped his arm.
"How can you do this? You tricked me," she slapped again, only to have his laughter reverberate through the whole space.
Clara ignored her husband's lighthearted laughter as she sighed and swiveled to the other side, furious.
Adrian, on the other hand, realized his mistake and stopped laughing, but he could not help but smile mischievously.
Adrian buried his face in the curve of her neck and gave her a quick hug from behind when he saw that she was not looking or speaking.
"Even if you had a crush on me or not, I had long taken an interest in you," he whispered in her ears. His lips were hot and his words were seductive, making her blush.
His curiosity about Clara stemmed from the fact that she was the only girl who never attempted to get his attention through deception.
