Chapter 0134
He hands started to move his hands again, his gaze locked on mine, daring me to make a move. I wanted to shout but his fingers dug into my thigh and he didn't even need to say anything for me to get the message - don't even dare!
I closed my eyes and bit my lip as I fleetingly felt Mark's fingers graze the edge of my panties. My knees buckled beneath me when his thumb pressed against my panties. I was sure the only reason I had fallen in a breathless heap on the floor was because Mark's body was tightly pressed against mine that I could barely move.
"Sydney?" My lids flew open as Lucas called again. I can't believe I almost forgot he was there. "Sydney, you're in there, right?" His voice was sounding more urgent and the worry in his voice was more noticeable. I was half expecting him to burst open the door but instead, he softly rasped his knuckles on the door. "Anyone in there? Sydney? Is everything okay?"
"Say something!" Mark glowered at me and snapped. At the same time, the asshole's fingers rubbed over my panties making me breathless and intensifying the urge to give him a resounding slap. If only he didn't have such a strong grip on my wrists. "You know what to say, right?" He murmured and buried his face in the crook of my neck.
I thought of doing the opposite of what Mark must be expecting and scream out to Lucas for help. Though both men were strong to take in eachother, I didn't want to jeopardize Lucas' health - whether he's better now or not, the last thing I want is for him to get in a fight plus I really didn't want to create a scene.
"Lucas! I'm here." For a moment, Mark froze as he waited for my next words.
"Are you okay? Why did it take so long for you to respond?"
"I'm fine," I stuttered. "I didn't hear you the first time," I lied lamely. "Just wait
My voice trembled as I spoke.
for me outside for a bit o'ti
There was a pretty long silence then he finally responded, "I'll wait for you outside then." Then we both listened as his footsteps receded.
Mark showed his satisfaction at my response to Lucas by pressing a kiss to my earlobe then gently nibbling it in between his teeth. "Don't be scared," he
said in a husky voice, "I was just teasing you."
1 felt a cold chill run through my body and my heartbeat was more frantic than ever beating so fast. Even if I was laid a million dollars, I would not genuinely believe Mark's lies for a second! Teasing my ass! Then he was releasing my hands and shifting back. A sigh of relief escaped my lips.
Mark reached into his pocket and brought out the bracelet he just bought at the auction. "Give me your wrist."
"Why?"
He kissed his teeth and said sternly, "Give me your wrist!"
I stretched my hand toward him and let him clasp the bracelet around my wrist.
"Although we're divorced," he started to say and his hardened expression softened as he looked down at my wrist. "I hate how you've cut ties with me. This bracelet is for you, wear it well." Then he looked up and held my gaze and all thr softness and tenderness in his voice and on his face were gone. "If your lose it again, I can't guarantee what will happen."
I gulped and nodded my head automatically. It was the only thing I could do.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
He regarded me for a long while and for a brief moment I thought he would press himself against me again. My muscles tensed, ready to push him away but instead, that self satisfied smirk creepe up his lips. Then he turned, sauntered to the door and waltzed out.
I sagged against the partition. I've never felt more relieved in my whole life.
I managed to stagger out of the restroom and immediately, my gaze rounded in
on Lucas who was outside the hall.
Nooked down the narrow hallway and it was empty. I wondered if he saw Mark walk out of here. As I made to walk to him, my gaze suddenly wavered and I swayed.
Lucas rushed to me. "Sydney, you okay?" Held me. "God, you look pale."
I didn't understand how I felt. My head felt light and my legs felt like they would rather do another thing than keep me standing.
"I'm fine," I muttered in a rough voice to Lucas but I wasn't fine. My vision was blurry at the edges and I could barely Lucas clearly.
God. Mark was terrifying back there, I would never do anything to provoke him again.
"You're not," Lucas said sternly as he disentangled myself from him and tried to walk on my own but I had barely taken a step before my legs gave out beneath me. The room turned upside down as I found myself falling to the floor.
"Sydney!"
heard Lucas shout and felt his arms on me. I opened my mouth to tell him t was fine but the words were stuck in my throat. I stopped hearing Lucas' but I could still make out his lips moving. Then, my head started to bang real bad and I couldn't see Lucas anymore. I could only see black. Feeling powerless and defeated, all I could do was let the darkness that descended wrap itself around me and take me.
