He sealed the deal in front of everyone.
His lips kept moving on mine while I kept standing still like a wooden log. I could feel pts of eyes on me, and it made my whole face burn red. Why did he choose this moment to do this? To let the world know you belong to only him. Only him. My inner voice screamed, and it made my heart beat even faster. He was indirectly telling everyone that I belonged to him. He sucked on my lower before letting it go slowly. Every second of this kiss felt like an hour to me. My eyes remained wide like an owl when he parted his lips and moved away. There was a smirk on the corner of his lips when his cold, blue eyes moved all over my lips. He lifted his hand slowly and whipped the corner of my lip.
“If you keep giving me that face, I might end up kissing you again," he whispered in his husky voice. My eyes went even wider if it was possible. I bit on my tingling lower and biked my eyes. He chuckled when I did that. He wrapped his around my waist and pulled me to his chest. His face rested in the crook of my neck. He rubbed the tip of his nose on the column of my neck. I was once again caught off guard when he did that. What was it? The display of affection.
“You smell good,” he said in a husky voice while inhaling deeply into my scent. He has never before done this in front of so many people.
“W–what are you doing?” I shuttered while saying it. My heart was thumping so loud. I saw Isabella's mother grin while looking at us, and it made my cheeks burn even more red. Even a few guests were whispering while looking at us.
“Holding my wife,” he said, answering my question. My heart was about to almost jump out of my chest when he said that. My throat started to close up when he said that. I had no words to protest, but I had to find some other way to get out of his hold.
“Everyone is watching us,” I whispered while my eyes lowered when I could talk to all of those eyes looking at us with some curiosity, with some smile, and with some envy.
“Let them,” he answered simply while making his hold tight on me. He placed a small kiss on my neck, making my body shiver. The moment felt so intimate. I once again bit on my lower lip. My fingers curled into a fist, not knowing what I should do. My heart was thumping so loud he was sure he could also hear it.
“I'm hungry," he said suddenly, making my brows furrowed. I stopped biting on my lower. My eyes moved to where the buffet counter was set. It was open, and some of the guests had also started eating.
“The buffet counter is open,” I said with my eyes still fixed on the counter. He chuckled once again when I said that. He broke the hug, and I looked at him with perplexed eyes. He cupped my face with his right hand, and his cold blue eyes moved all over my face.
“I'm hungry for you,” he said in his deep voice. The rough pad of his thumb rubbed slowly on my lower lip, and I saw how his dark gaze dipped. His words sank into my complex mind, sending a shiver down my spine. If I kept standing here even a second more, my heart would explode.
“Isabella is calling me," I said suddenly and pulled myself away from me. Before he could stop me, I lifted my dress and started to run on my heels. I could feel his burning eyes on my back. I was glad that he didn't try to stop me. I looked back to see him still standing in the same place with both hands in his pocket. The way he was looking at me made my stomach flutter. Why is he giving me that look?
"Ouch,” I ended up bumping into something hard. Hands wrapped around me before I could fall. My eyes widened when I looked at the person. It was none other than Daniel.
“Are you ok?” he asked, looking at my wide eyes. His hands remained firmly placed on my waist, making sure I didn't fall. I cleared my throat and strengthened up. He was not wearing his specks today, so I could see his chocolate-brown eyes. They are so brown. It felt like I was looking into a deep abyss.
“Yes, I'm,” I said while standing firmly on my feet. He slowly moved his hands from my waist.
“Where were you running like that?” he asked in his deep voice while raising his brow in question. He pocketed his hands in tailored pants. When he questioned that, I unknowingly once again turned my head and looked where he was standing. He was still standing there in the same spot, looking at us. I immediately looked away, not meeting his eyes. My heart was still thumping fast. He raised his brow again when he looked at my face. I don't even know what kind of expression my face was giving away.
“I was looking for Isabella,” I said with a small nervous smile on my face. My eyes moved behind him, and I saw Isabella talking with Sophia and her boyfriend.
“There she is,” I said with that nervous smile still on my face. He turned his head to look at her. Isabella was slapping her hand on Logan's arm at his silly jokes. Her eyes were twinkling in mischief, and her lips stretched with a big smile adorning her lips. She was looking like an angel in her pink gown. I noticed how Daniel's breath hitched looking at her. As if feeling his gaze on her, her grey eyes clashed with brown. The adoring look he had on his face vanished as soon as their gaze met. His jaw clenched when she averted her gaze. He looked angry, but his eyes still held the emotions he rarely shows. The same emotions I saw very long ago in his eyes. Love!
He was in love with Isabella Villain since the day he laid his eyes on her.
