His Obsession

LUCIAN

It's the day today.

I am all dolled up for my official engagement party.

Ever since we got 'engaged in secret' as told by some local news channels. People were expecting us to throw an official engagement party inviting others to join our 'happiness'.

I have been dreading today. Even though I like dressing up, Today is so much more than dressing up.

But I have to appreciate the dress I am wearing. It is so unreal, and it feels like a glove. It's so dreamy, and I love it.

What I don't love is when people have high expectations from me, they probably expect a better fiancé for Arius.

After all, why would Arius want to be with someone like me when he has countless options? It's low-key sad how much I need him, his money as per our deal.

It's not fair of him to be this kind and gentleman like with me. It makes me feel something, I've never experienced before. I have to keep on reminding myself that everything is a facade, that it is all fake.

I am not sure how I got here.

A deal. That's what it was. A contract.

Suddenly a knock on my door pulls me out of my insecure thoughts. "May I come in?" Arius asks over the door.

"Yes, just a second", I say quickly, brushing off the excess makeup powder off my face.

I am only two steps to the door when the zipper of my dress opens all the way to the hip joint.

What?

This gorgeous fucking dress cost Arius a whopping 2000$ only for its zipper to break as soon as I walk? What the fuck.

I try to reach behind my back to zip this dress up. It's obviously of no use since the zipper is too deep. Charlotte helped me get into it, but she isn't here right now.

She is downstairs in the ballroom. Yes, a freaking ballroom. This venue is large large. And I am panicking now.

Exactly how many people are invited today? Oh my my.

I let out a silent scream as I try to zip my dress again.

Another knock. "Lucy, is everything all right? Do you need any help?"

Should I...?

"Yes actually." There I said it. It wasn't that hard now was it, Lucy.

"Can you please zip my dress up? It seems to have its own mind and won't cooperate." I ask Arius.

I stand facing the mirror when I hear the sound of footsteps behind me. Behind me stands Arius.

As I gaze up at him, I can't help but be struck by the sheer perfection of the man standing behind me. His dark hair perfectly styled. But it is the way he wore the tuxedo that truly steals my breath.

The fabric seems to be highlighting every muscle and contour. The way the jacket fits across his broad shoulders and the way it hugs his narrow waist making me feel so giddy.

GOD IT IS NOT FAIR.

The white shirt and black tie, the perfect complement to the formal attire, and the way he wears it all with such ease and confidence. Chef kisses.

God really took his time while making him.

As he turns to adjust his cufflinks, I can't help but notice the way his sleeve rolls up slightly, revealing a glimpse of the strong, toned arm. It is a small detail, but it is enough to make me feel a flutter in my chest.

But it is his eyes that truly give him away. They are bright and piercing, with a hint of mischief and humour that make me feel like I am seeing right through to his soul. As he catches my eye, he smiles, and I feel like I am melting into his gaze.

"Mind if I zip you up real quick?" He winks playfully.

Oh my. I think I am swooning.

I pull myself together and manage a nod, the way he is looking at me right now is so intimate.

As we stand here in the quiet,  the sound of the zipper as he pulls it up my dress is like a gentle kiss on my skin. It is a simple moment, but it sends shivers down my spine.

His hands tremble slightly as he fastens the zipper, his fingers brushing against my skin. I can feel his breath on my neck, and I can't help but lean back into him, feeling his warmth and scent.

That fucking scent. What is happening to me?

As he finishes the zipper, his hands linger on my skin, his fingers tracing the curve of my spine. Another shiver runs down my body, and I know that I am so lost.

"Thank you," I whisper, my voice barely audible.

He turns me around to face him, his eyes burning with intensity. "You're welcome," he said, his voice low and husky.

We stand there for a moment, our eyes locking on each other, the tension between us palpable.

And then, without another word, his lips brush against my jawline. It is a gentle, tender kiss. I feel a rush of emotions. It is as if the world around me has melted away, and all that is left is the two of us.

The kiss lingered for a moment, and then he pulls back, his eyes locked on me. "You look so beautiful, Lucian."

The feeling in my chest further intensifies.

"Thank you, Ari. You look beautiful tonight, too." I compliment him as I shamelessly check him out again.

It is so obvious. I feel heat creeping up my cheeks.

"Remind me to give extra compliments to the designer." He chuckles, and I can't help but smile.

"Let's head downstairs now, shall we?"

Let the show begin.
