Corenn’s lips feel expectedly soft on
of on mine, a warm nimble of his flesh carousing against mine like I have anticipated for.
Despite our back and forth bickering. I cannot deny that this man is whom I truly desire.
Not me. To be clear.
My body.
Every time he touches me. His touch ignites a firestorm within me, sending my body into a frenzy of sensation.
Every nerve ending tingles, my senses go into overdrive, and my very skin seems to hum with electricity.
There are multiple eyes on us, camera and whispers flowing around us, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to ignite any anxiety in me
The only thing I can see and feel is Circenn, whose hand now lays on the skin of my neck, caressing it delicately.
Oh how I want to melt right now,
My legs are tingling and in between my legs throbs like crazy.
His gentle caress is like a spark to dry tinder, setting my entire being ablaze with desire.

My nerves, traitors that they are. Under his touch, my body becomes a traitor, surrendering to the primal urges that he effortlessly awakens within me. I wish to savor every moment, to slowly tear apart the fabric of his tuxedo, revealing his chiseled physique beneath.
I wish to entwine my fingers in his perfectly styled hair, feeling the softness of the strands as I pull him closer.
My lips ache to bury deep in his mouth, to kiss him with a passion that leaves him breathless and bereft of sensation
I crave the thrill of rendering him helpless, his lips numb and trembling from the intensity of our embrace
I can’t, I must resist, my desires held hostage by the constraints of reality, leaving me to simmer in frustration, my longing unrequited.
But I
We are in the midst of sophisticated strangers that will judge and gossip at any slip, and it will be best I maintain and act like the living wife Circenn wants me to be tonight.

Our kiss comes to an
It was a soft kiss on the inside, but the universe knows what I’ve cooked up in my head and that is one of the reasons I am breathing like a turtle.
I take a step back and try not to rub my thighs together at how wet and throbbed I feel down there
I don’t want to wake up tomorrow morning and find new news and a perfectly good shot of me, from a vivid camera angle on the internet, with a weird headline and ‘Homy‘ added at the brink of the news.
I could make a promise and vow that no man has ever made me feel this way except Circenn.
It could be either his name has sin in it or because he’s the only one I’ve found myself with
Either way.
I have to stop feeling my heart beating down there.
Circenn’s face lights up with a warm smile as he tenderly reaches out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind my ear, his fingers grazing my skin feigned gentleness.
His eyes lock onto mine, their brightness and sincerity almost convincing me that his concern is genuine.
He’s a master of deception if you ask me, a skilled performer who wears his charm like a mask.
Yet, despite knowing this is all a freaking act and way far from true nature and how he would treat me, I can’t help but be swayed by: act, my heart fluttering in response to this bloody fabricated affection.

“Do you hate the kiss” I almost sound irritated.
He immediately snaps his head at me.
“Don’t be ridiculous” He scoffs and takes a glass of wine from its rack.
Was that a yes or no
Just as Curcenn seems poised to speak mere, an elderly man his eyes still gleaming with a sharp intensity despite his advanced years, approaches us with a purposeful stride.
With a nod, he commandeers Circenn’s attention, whisking him away from my side without so much as an apology and a smile, their business matters apparently too pressing to be delayed or whatever they have to talk about,

The moment I reach for a glass of wine, I hear a feminine voice behind me.
“Mrs McCain!”
I immediately throw the drink down my throat before turning to see who it is.
My eyes dilate a bit when I see it is the woman who has been staring at Circen in a flaty manner.
Up close, her red hair feels like fire and her light brown eyes are as bright as her skin.
“HU” I don’t know how to begin and my voice cracks
“Hi nice to meet you” Her smile is really bright as she approaches me.
“Nice to meet you zoo” I gulp.
Who is she and what does she want with me!
“I’m Veronic” she extends her hand out for a handshake

“Thank you” I say, “You’re really pretty too”
“Oh, don’t be modest” she waves her hand in front of her face.
I’m being sincere though.
“But thank you though she beams in return.
We fall into a sudden, uncomfortable silence, punctuated only by the haunting notes of the violins, which echo through the grand room, filling the awkward void and making it worse.
I want to have more drinks.
I go for more drinks and after my third drink she stops me.
“Circenn doesn’t like women who drink way too much,” she begins.
I pause.
“Excuse me?
She shakes her head immediately.

A sinister smile appears on her face and my entire body freeze in shock.
