Sylvia pulled back and met my gaze, her eyes a deep, inviting pool.
"Minnie, let me take care of you," she whispered, her breath warm against my skin.
She leaned in and kissed me softly, her lips tender yet insistent. Her tongue traced a slow path from my mouth down to my throat, leaving a tingling trail.
I tilted my head back, surrendering to the waves of sensation flooding my body. The room seemed to fade away, leaving only the warmth of her touch.
I closed my eyes, swallowing hard as Sylvia’s warm tongue danced across my skin. My body responded instinctively, a shiver running down my spine with each caress.
Sylvia sucked gently, drawing a gasp from my lips. She glanced up, her eyes meeting mine before her teeth grazed lazily over my skin, marking it with a soft pink hue.
"Babe," I murmured, the word escaping as her teeth pressed lightly, sending a mix of pleasure and pain that made me crave more of her.
Sylvia pulled back slightly, her eyes filled with warmth and mischief.
Her fingers traced gentle patterns on my arm, sending little sparks of electricity through me.
"How do you feel?" she asked, her voice a soothing melody.
"Content," I replied, a smile playing on my lips as I leaned into her touch.
The world outside seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of us in our cozy little bubble. The gentle hum of the city outside was a distant backdrop to our shared silence.
Sylvia wrapped her arms around me, pulling me closer. I rested my head on her shoulder, feeling her heartbeat.
We stayed like that for a while, wrapped in each other’s presence, savoring the peace and warmth of the moment.
The door creaked open.
I immediately lifted my head and looked toward the entrance.
Melissa.
She stepped inside, only to stop in the doorway.
Her gaze flickered between Sylvia and me before a teasing smile appeared on her face.
"Hmm... looks like I interrupted something."
She turned as though she was about to leave.
"Not at all," I said quickly. "I was just leaving."
I gave Sylvia one last smile before walking toward the door.
As soon as I stepped outside, I quietly closed it behind me.
I leaned against the wall, let out a slow breath and closed my eyes.
"I hope she didn’t see anything," I muttered.
"The last thing I want is for Sylvia to get into trouble because of me."
"What’s your relationship with Sylvia?"
The sudden voice made me open my eyes.
I looked up.
It was him.
The man who had been with Sylvia all day.
Drake.
So that was his name.
I frowned.
"And who are you to ask me that?"
He stared at me for a moment before the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
"I’m Sylvia’s childhood sweetheart."
I blinked once before nodding slowly."Oh."
"A childhood sweetheart."
"That’s... nice."
He took a few slow steps toward me until we were standing face to face.
The smile on his face disappeared. "I don’t care what kind of relationship you think you have with her."
His voice was calm. "But you’d better keep it as nothing more than a sister’s relationship."
For a moment, I simply stared at him.
Then I smiled. "I’m sorry..."
"But I don’t remember asking for your opinion."
A flicker of annoyance crossed his face. He looked at me for another second before brushing past my shoulder.
Without another word, he walked away.
I watched him disappear around the corner.
"What a ridiculous man."
I folded my arms.
Who did he think he was?
Although...
He was annoyingly handsome.
No.
Ridiculously handsome.
I clicked my tongue.
Still, he didn’t deserve the compliment.
Shaking my head, I turned back toward the door, wondering what had gotten into him.
I walked out, and the security guards immediately stepped aside to let me pass.
The moment I stepped outside, my eyes searched the parking area for Camila’s car.
The instant I spotted it, I headed toward it.
After only a few steps, I froze.
Camila was standing beside the car, scanning the area with an anxious look on her face.
Even from where I stood, I could tell she was worried.
My heart sank.
I had completely forgotten about her the moment I saw Sylvia.
I’d even left her waiting outside in the scorching sun.
Guilt immediately washed over me.
"Cam!"
I called out before breaking into a run.
The moment she heard my voice, she spun around.
"Lia!"
I threw my arms around her the second I reached her.
"I’m sorry, Cam."
I felt her body relax as she let out a long breath.
The next second, she smacked my butt.
"Ouch."
I pouted and looked up at her.
"Where did you go?" she asked, her voice filled with frustration and relief at the same time.
"I told you not to wander off."
I hugged her even tighter.
"I’m sorry."
"I forgot."
She pulled back just enough to look me in the eyes.
"You forgot?"
She pinched my cheek lightly.
"I was about to ask security to help me look for you."
A guilty smile crept onto my face.
"I’m really sorry."
Camila sighed helplessly before pulling me into another hug.
"Just don’t scare me like that again."
I nodded against her shoulder.
"I won’t."
"Fine." She sighed, a small smile tugging at her lips.
"Get in."
I smiled back, stepped away from her, and walked over to the passenger’s side.
"Let’s go."
I opened the door and slid into the seat.
A moment later, Camila walked around to the driver’s side.
She climbed in, closed the door, and rested both hands on the steering wheel.
But instead of starting the engine, she turned to look at me.
She didn’t say a word.
She just stared at me for a few long seconds, as though she were trying to read my face.
"What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
Camila didn’t start the engine immediately.
Instead, she turned to look at me.
She stared at me for a few seconds before narrowing her eyes.
"So..."
I swallowed.
"Where did you go?"
I blinked innocently.
"Huh?"
"Don’t ’huh’ me." She folded her arms. "You disappeared without a word."
"I told you to wait by the car. And when I came back, you were nowhere to be found."
She let out a frustrated sigh.
"Do you know how worried I was?"
"I checked around the parking lot."
"I even thought someone had taken you."
Guilt immediately settled in my chest.
"I’m sorry, Cam."
She looked at me for a long moment before sighing again.
"So..."
"Where did you go?"
