SHE

Chapter 24: Illegal Auction

Rue Scarce

Creases began to form over his forehead, looking down on me with questions in his eyes.

"I have, but not an act for sure." His voice was a bit off and you can tell he is puzzled.

When I noticed the bodyguards looking our way, I pulled on Williams's chin and connected my lips to his.

He was shocked, too surprised to even respond. I grabbed on his thigh and squeezed it hard enough for him to gasp and open his lips.

The guards may have a connection to the Mafia, I can't risk letting them think I'm after their boss. I heard they are very sensitive that even a look from the crowd would make the guards insane.

I took a peek and the guard was still looking at our direction, so when I pulled my lips from Williams, I slid my hands under his white shirt. His breathing began to get ragged that he pulled on my neck and kissed me again, this time hard.

When I made sure the guard looked away, I pushed Williams by his chest to make him stop and catch my breath.

"What... Was that for?" He asked, his face looking flushed at the sudden intimacy.

For a guy he sure is sensual.

"That's how an acted kiss is. Keep it in mind, Williams." I answered and as if on cue the waiter came by, handing us our drinks.

"I don't think I have seen you drinking alcohol." Williams mumbled as I drank my order.

"I hate them. Either drugs, smoke, or alcohol makes me hazy just by the stench."

He seem to understand that he nods his head and looked away. My eyes raked down his muscular body until I see the slight bulge between his thighs.

"You need to have control over your sexual desires, Williams. There must be nothing to make you surrender even if you are in need of being touched." I warned him.

It was absolutely true though. And I don't think I have had sexual desires for someone, I didn't even want to touch myself and I have only had sexual intercourse with my husband. Other than him, I'm completely and no doubt sexually insensitive to men that I tolerate their continuous seduction.

Williams only hummed his response and his Adam's apple moved as he took a big gulp as a sign of being nervous, one thing I observed for the past three days.

We sat there for a good five minutes more, waiting for the target to move. My phone vibrated, reminding me of the reservations I made and the appointment I was expecting to go.

The kid I was aiming for stood from his seat, his bodyguards following behind him towards the staff's room. I grabbed Williams by his arm and tugged him with me amidst the crowd.

When we stopped in front of the room where the target went in, a man who looked like the security made us stop.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Authorized personnel only."

I flashed him the ID I had and he scanned it with his eyes. He swiftly bowed and muttered a sorry, opening the door for us to enter.

Williams followed behind me as we walked past the storage room filled with different kinds of expensive bottles.

I tapped on the bottles just beside the empty space until I found the switch. I yanked the bottle out and the wall pushed itself in, making a path for us to enter.

"What is this?"

"You'll see."

We walked through the dark halls before walking down the stairs. The only things I can hear are our deep breaths and the sound of our footsteps echoing through the walls.
