Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Favourite dessert
“I love it when you talk dirty to me, Pallas.”

“Mister De Luca, please mind what you say!” Ariana growled at him, yup she growled at him alright. And he fucking loved it. He adored the fact that the woman had lost control of her temper and for the first time stepped out of the shell.

She was the real Ariana Harlow and not the shell of the woman that she presented herself as in front of others.

Idiots like Noah Nelson believed that Ariana Harlow was a woman whose pristine reputation and elegant personality needed to be unsullied. That only the colour white would suit her the best as she was a woman wrapped in innocence and pride.

But Nicolai did not quite believe it. Ariana was not a damsel in distress kind of princess, she was the kind of woman who would gauge someone’s eyeball out of the socket if the situation called for it.

Ariana wasn’t white nor was she black. She was grey. There was kindness in every action of hers, but there was also a subtle ruthlessness that she hid from others.

And he liked it when she lost control because it made him feel like he was the first person to see her like this.

“Am I not minding what I say?” Nicolai stepped forward such that Ariana had to take a step back. “Tell me, princess. The reason you are so against me touching you, calling you names and getting close to you is because you are afraid to lose control. The very fucking thing that you breathe and live for? Because I did not see you being troubled by that Lice when he called you names and flirted with you.”

“Nicolai,” she hissed his name, the sound was feminine and fucking tempting but at the same time, it had a sort of plea that he chose to ignore.

He wasn’t going to let her be a coward and hide again.

Nicolai loved the way she called his name. Many women had used the very same name as they screamed in pleasure, but something about the way Ariana called him made him want to reach out and suck that name off her tongue.

This was the first time he had seen Ariana scattered with goo as she tried to get the control back that she had lost but couldn’t.

‘Calm down,’ he told himself as he looked at Ariana, Nicolai did not want to let what remained of his control escape from his grasp because if he lost control, he would press Ariana on the carpet then and there before tearing her clothes off and——

Having his way with her.

Nico the Great seemed to be quite on board with that plan unfortunately Ariana wouldn’t like it.

“Mhmm, look at that. You are already calling my name so nicely. Can you repeat it?”

“I am telling you to——” She raised her voice and someone knocked on the vase that was sitting on the small table behind them.

Nicolai didn’t turn around and see who it was as at that very moment Ariana caught herself. She seemed to have realized what she was doing and immediately caught herself in the middle of whatever she was going to say.

He caught the very moment she retreated in panic as if sensing that she had done something that she shouldn’t have.

Nah, hell to the no. She was not going to hide from him anymore.

He grabbed her wrist and twisted her around as he backed her against the wall. To his surprise, Ariana let him do that she did not fight back as he pushed her against the wall.

Though she flinched when the wall hit against her back, she remained where she was. Like a startled deer caught in the headlights, she looked at him with wide eyes.

Nicolai could see that she was wound up, caught the momentary loss of judgement as her gaze flicked to his face.

Their chests collided, and Nicolai could feel her heartbeat escalate as it thundered against his.

He leaned down and inched his lips close to Ariana, when she turned her head away, he reached forward and clasped her jaw such that she would look him in the eye when he was talking to her.

“You know what I think, Pallas?” Ariana shuddered as he whispered against her ear. “I think you were trying your best to pretend that I don’t matter that my presence doesn’t bother you, but the truth is that it does. And every time I am close to you, you have to fight your fucking demons to make it look like you cannot care less about me.”

“You were annoyed by the mere presence of that man but, you were most definitely aroused when I signed at you and asked you to suck me off.”

He grinned against her lips before saying, “Did you imagine choking on my shaft?”

“Shut up!” Ariana raised her hand to push him off her body. He sensed a sort of panic rise in her body, but Nicolai did not back down because this was one of the rare chances where he could strip this woman down to her bones.

He wanted to see why she locked herself like a prisoner when she was free to do what she wanted.

With his free hand, he clasped hold of her hands and pushed them over her head.

Her body arched against his, and she shivered as soon as their bodies touched. Shivered. She shivered against him!

Does Ariana know how adorable she looked? Nicolai wanted nothing more than to gobble her whole and leave no crumbs behind.

“Let go of me!” She said while struggling against his hold.

“You look like a fucking wild cat, do you know much of a turn-on this is?” He murmured as he licked the shell of her ear.

Nicolai inhaled the sweet scent that filled his nostrils as he buried his head against her neck. Cinnamon and coconut with a tinge of vanilla. She tasted like his favourite new dessert.
