Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: You Were Waiting For Me? – 2
There was an audible gulp as Scarlet swallowed hard while biting her lower lip. She desperately tried to regain control over her body and fight back against the pleasurable sensations flooding her nerves. However, the closeness between them made it impossible for her to resist them.

“Um…” Scarlet mumbled, stammering as she struggled to speak. “I didn’t mean anything in particular… I just thought you would tell me how these new styles of clothes look on me. There’s no deeper meaning to it.” She lied while trying to convince herself of the truthfulness of her words.

When Asher heard what she said, a chuckle escaped him, followed by a sly grin as he whispered into her ear again, “Oh, I doubt that, Scarlet… Because if that’s true, then you wouldn’t have gotten so mad at me for not coming inside just now, right? After all, you would’ve come out and asked about this outfit yourself. Just how you came out now.”

Upon hearing these words, Scarlet froze for a second before she glanced at Asher, who was now looking right into her eyes with his usual smile on his face. At that moment, she realized she was in trouble, but she didn’t know what to do or where to go, so she sat still, unable to move an inch.

Looking at the silent Scarlet, Asher continued speaking with a tone that carried a hint of mischief behind it. “But perhaps you wanted something more from me when I entered the booth, isn’t that right?”

Her face turned bright red at the implication behind his question, causing her to stammer an answer while struggling to form coherent sentences. “Wha—No! No, that wasn’t what I meant at all, I swear!”

As she tried to explain herself, Asher chuckled once more.

“Then why are you getting so red in the face?”

“Because you keep asking me embarrassing questions, damn it!” Scarlet cried out in frustration.

“Do I, now…?” He mused out loud as he ran a finger across her jawline before placing it under her chin and tilting her head upwards while maintaining eye contact with her.

Scarlet’s breath caught in her throat when he did this, causing her heart rate to skyrocket even further. She could feel his breath on her skin and the heat emanating from his body against hers. All of it combined caused a wave of feelings unlike anything she’d ever experienced before wash over her.

Their lips were close enough to almost be touching; it wouldn’t take much effort for him to lean down just a little bit further and…

Scarlet felt herself tremble at this, and she found that her mouth suddenly went dry, rendering it incapable of moving as he gazed into her eyes. She felt as if time itself had slowed down around her.

‘Damn it! Why does my heart beat so fast? How can he make me feel so…so weird? Have I fallen for him without realizing it? If so, then what should I do? Should I tell him or not? I’m so confused…’ Scarlet’s thoughts raced in her head while she tried to figure out the best course of action.

Meanwhile, Asher, too, was having his own inner battle as he struggled against the urge to kiss the beautiful young woman who had captured his interest from day one.

She was a fiery, energetic girl with an infectious smile that brightened his mood just by being near her. Not to mention her seductive appearance and the way she smelled, which filled him with desire. Every little thing about her attracted him to her even more.

However, before that, he needed to make their relationship firmer; it couldn’t remain this ambiguous. He wanted her to be his woman and be with him forever. He wouldn’t let her slip away from him, nor would he accept another man coming between them. And he planned to do that very soon.

“Hmmm…. It seems that you were telling the truth, Scarlet. Alright then, let’s get back to the clothes, shall we? Why don’t you stand up and let me take a good look at you, hmm?” He said in a gentle tone as he released his hold on her while changing the topic by playing along.

This made Scarlet relax somewhat as the tension in the atmosphere lessened, but at the same time, it also left her feeling rather disappointed somehow, which puzzled her even more than before.

However, she didn’t let herself dwell on it for long and shook her head in order to clear her thoughts before smiling back at him. “Sure, I bet you’ll love this one!” She exclaimed with renewed enthusiasm as she rose from his lap, turned around, and struck a sexy pose in front of him.

As she stood before him, Scarlet felt quite proud of herself for choosing the outfit that suited her best among the many clothes in the shop and showing off her figure like this. It was the perfect way to show off her curvy physique while making Asher appreciate her feminine appeal.

As soon as the young woman posed for him, Asher let his eyes roam across the entire length of her body in appreciation. She was indeed very attractive, wearing a black backless cocktail dress with a slit running along her left leg, exposing her toned thigh. She wore matching black high heels that emphasized her long legs, giving her a sexy air.

It had a deep v-neckline that revealed plenty of cleavage and hugged her curves in all the right places. The dress was a bit tight around the waist area, highlighting her slim waist, but that only added to the overall appeal of its design. It also showed off her wide hips and round buttocks, which swayed back and forth as she moved around in front of him.

Overall, she looked amazing with her red hair framing her angelic face while her ruby eyes sparkled with joy. Asher was entranced by the beauty in front of him, and he didn’t hesitate to share his thoughts with Scarlet. “Wow! You are so stunning, Scarlet! This dress really suits you and makes your body stand out more than ever.”
