Tangled Web of Love (On hold)

Betrayal

Chapter 10

Amber exited the limo, making sure to pull her clothes back into place. The guilt of what she had just done was weighing heavy on her heart. She felt like a horrible person for betraying Tristan. He deserved better.

Her body still tingled from Alex's touch and her heart was beating fast at the memory of their lovemaking. A light breeze from the cool summer afternoon washed over her, slightly cooling her skin. She stood and stared at the apartment complex, but she couldn't make her feet move.

She felt Alex as he came up behind her and took her hand into his. She wanted to blame him for the way she was feeling, but she knew that she just had herself to blame. She could have said no and resisted him, but she didn't. She let herself give in to the need and the want. She had only herself to blame, no one else.

Her feet refused to move, but Alex wasn't letting her out of their agreement, not after what just happened between them. He was going to make her see it through, even if he had to drag her kicking and screaming. Taking hold of her hand, he started walking in the direction of Tristan's apartment.

She was reluctant to move at first, but she soon realised that Alex was not going to let her back out. As they enter the apartment complex, a few of the people who worked and lived there gave her strange looks. They all new that she was Tristan's girl and they were curious as to why she was holding another man's hand.

Amber ignored them all and made her way over to the elevator. Alex never lets go of her hand, even as the lift ding to a stop in front of them and they got in. with shaky hands she pushed the bottom for the eighth floor and typed in the security code. She was starting to feel light headed and woozy, dreading the inevitable.

Alex felt her shaking next to him and he pulled her to him so that her back was flat against his chest. She leaned into to him and relax slightly, taking comfort from him. He would like to say that he was sorry for making her break it off with her boyfriend, but he'd be lying if he did.

From the moment, he saw Amber he knew that he had to have her. There was just something about her that called to him. He might have been more willing to let her have the company and walk away if he hadn't experienced what he did with her in the limo. But he couldn't very well let her walk away without exploring more of her until he had his fill.

As the lift slowly rise, Alex swept her hair away from her neck and inhaled her intoxicating scent. He lowered his lips to her skin and lightly placed a kiss there. She closed her eyes and leaned back more into him, a soft sigh escaping her lips.

He was about to turn her around and kiss her senseless, but the elevator came to a stop at its destination. All the calm left her body as they stepped out onto the eighth floor, which was directly into Tristan's apartment.

A modern designed open plan kitchen and living area greeted them. And in the kitchen, standing by the stainless steel fridge, freezer was a shirtless Tristan. He looked up with a smile on his face at the arrival of the lift. But his smile fell from his face when he saw Amber standing next to Alex.

At first he was confused, but when he saw Amber holding Alex's hand, anger replaced his confusion. He slammed the fridge close, shaking it and startling Amber in the process.

He stormed over to them, his gaze heated with hurt and betrayal. He could see that tears were starting to fall from Amber eyes and Alex showed no emotion.

"What the hell is going on, Amber?!"

He didn't mean to shout, but seeing her with him, was driving Tristan crazy. Her tears started to fall more and she refused to look at him. She opened her mouth to say something but then closed it again.
