ARCANUM

CHAPTER 26

LISANDRO MANOBAN (PETER) POV

The long-awaited time has finally arrived. Three days ago, Valdo Bykov came to me at his Stripper Club while I was with Giselle. The day before that day, Giselle told me that a shipment was coming soon. True to his promise, he gave me an invitation that was much smaller than the invitation to his Pleasury Club. The black invitation was only the size of a business card, decorated with gold writing that only listed the address and time on one side, and on the other, my name. Lisandro Manoban. With elegant Latin writing, also in gold. So indeed, only people who have been selected can attend the Auction event. Again, it's not like an invitation to the Pleasury Club that doesn't include the names of the invitees.

Tonight, I'm getting ready for the Auction, and for three days, we've perfected our plans. Throughout this morning until it was time for me to get ready, we once again reviewed and repeated it so nothing will be missed.

After wearing my white high collar shirt and wearing a maroon double-breasted Vest under my matching two buttons single-breasted tuxedo coat, I walked out of my room and was greeted by a pair of my favorite cat-like eyes who stared at me with a gaze that grew darker as it watched me up and down.

Without taking her eyes off mine, she stood up from her seat. On my couch with my laptop open on the coffee table in front of it. She was wearing a sweater and sweatpants, which was very comfortable because today she wasn't going anywhere and would only monitor me from here.

Neither of us made a sound as she walked closer. Nothing breaks our gaze. She walked slowly, and even though she was wearing sweaters and sweatpants, she still looked very sexy, attractive, and tempting because I knew exactly what was under her clothes.

My breath trembled slightly as she stopped right in front of me. The scent of her hair and body invaded my nose. My favorite scent. Her scent. She knows the effect she has had on me. It draws a smile on her lips as she raises her hand to grab my collar.

"Don't forget our mission," she said sternly, smoothing my collar before her fingers trailed down my neck and collarbone and onto my exposed upper chest because I left the top three buttons of my shirt open. Her hand stopped on the third button, which showed a bit of my upper chest, and she buttoned it saying, "Don't do anything else outside of the mission,"

After she buttoned my third button, my upper chest was covered, making only my collarbones were exposed. With a wider smile, she straightens my shirt and rubs it with her palms up to the vest before she straightens my coat and parks her palms on my chest while moving her gaze that follows the movements of her hands as she adjusts my clothes to my eyes. Maybe people looking at us now would think we were lovers or even husband and wife.

I smiled as I looked into her eyes, making butterflies appear and crawl through my stomach as I thought about it. My hand automatically lands on her waist and pulls her slightly closer, causing her hand to creep up my neck and stop behind it before we pull each other and connect our lips. Slowly. We kissed slowly.

I felt her smile before I put my tongue in her parted lips. "Uhm..." her sexy moans tickle my stomach to the bottom part of me. I pulled her hips further, so our bodies were pressed together without leaving any distance at all.
