Night of Destiny

Shirley felt dizzy as her body reacted strongly to Zacharias. This was a feeling she had never experienced when she was with Cole, as her feeling toward him was more of an innocent puppy love. However, the feeling Zacharias gave her now stirred something inside her, something more primitive.

“Let go…” she forced the words out through her lips, but he didn’t listen and reacted more passionately. Shirley felt light-headed, and an unfamiliar feeling buried her reason. She forgot to push him away as her body told her she liked this pleasurable kiss and wanted more.

Her hands unconsciously wrapped around Zacharias’ waist as she clumsily responded to his kiss, pleasantly surprising him as he sucked on her sweetness. Under the chandelier, the kissing couple sat beside the wine counter, making the air around them get hotter.

Then, Zacharias lifted Shirley onto the counter. It was only then that she regained her senses. She pushed him away shyly, embarrassed by the position they were in.

Her legs were around his waist as she sat dangerously near the edge of the counter with their waists touching. This ambiguous position made her face and ears turn red. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Zacharias touched her black hair and supported the back of her head with his big hands as Shirley’s flushed face reflected into his dazed eyes.

“Put me down,” she pleaded softly. Zacharias leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead. “You were amazing tonight.”

Shirley’s heart started beating furiously as she avoided his gaze. She was embarrassed to think of how she fell into his embrace just now. He just had the charm and skill to make her body submit to him even if she rejected him.

Shirley glared warningly at him with her bright eyes before he reluctantly held her waist to put her down. However, she realized her legs were weak when they touched the floor.

“Go to sleep.” Zacharias smiled tenderly before letting go of her. She walked toward the stairs and climbed up with her hand on the rail. Meanwhile, Zacharias raised his wine glass, a smile playing on his lips. He saw hope in this relationship.

As for Shirley, she slumped onto her bed when she returned to her room and hid her face in the sheets as she felt like dying.

Just now… I lost my mind just with a kiss. He’s so good at kissing! Has he kissed a lot of girls before? Is that why he became a good kisser? Damn it! How would a man like him not have girls? Maybe he never lacked partners ever since becoming an adult. It was only then that Shirley came to her senses and wanted to pull her hair out. Why should I care about this?!

And so, she couldn’t fall asleep anymore as she went down the rabbit hole.

The next morning, Shirley woke up early to run at the training fields and bumped into Imogen. The latter felt it strange, so she asked, “Shirley, I thought you didn’t need to train?”

It was true that Shirley didn’t need to train, but she didn’t sleep well and wanted to train to improve her focus and stop thinking about all the nonsense.

“I should since I have the time.” Then, she invited Imogen for a run. And so, Imogen ran a few laps with her and looked up to see Zacharias walking toward them when Shirley was catching her breath on the bench.

He was in sportswear, so it was obvious that he was there to exercise. Imogen’s eyes widened instantly, and she told Shirley, “Mr. Flintstone is here.”

Shirley recalled the events of last night and her face flushed so red that even the cold wind couldn’t take the heat away. Imogen chose that moment to tug on her arm. “Let’s go say hi!”

Shirley noticed that Joseph was coming over with his men as well and shook her head. “It’s fine. Let’s not go over.”
