Chapter 28 A meaningful, passionate encounter
The air-conditioning was spewing cold air roughly in the car. Nelissa was drenched and she curled like a shrimp as she tried to stay warm.
Her face was pale and her lips were blood red; she looked like a vampire.
Edward wrapped his arms around the trembling Nelissa; she seemed like she was going to vibrate her teeth off.
He instructed Andrew, “Turn on the heater.”
“Understood, Mr. Hales.” Andrew switched off the air-conditioning. It was actually getting quite warm as summer was approaching.
The car gradually became warmer as Nelissa’s face regained their color.
Edward then removed his coat and enveloped it around Nelissa. As he did, Edward realized that he could see Nelissa’s body through the soaked, transparent white dress.
He whipped out his handkerchief and started to dry Nelissa’s face and arms. Edward was surprisingly gentle although throughout the process he held down Nelissa’s arms to prevent her from resisting.
“You got yourself soaked even with an umbrella. Don’t you know how to use an umbrella?” Edward teased her. “Do you need me to assign someone to carry umbrellas for you?”
Nelissa shook her head; it was simultaneous with her trembling. She didn’t know if Edward was toying with her or was really furious with her.
Fear of the unknown was really perplexing.
“Normally, people would stay at the office or at home during such weather. Did you have something you absolutely need from Zayden? Didn’t you know that the hurricane was forecasted today?” Edward continued rubbing her hands, cheeks and eventually her neck.
A stray raindrop escaped Edward and began flowing down Nelissa’s cheek, neck and beelined straight for her cleavage…
Edward seemed drawn in by that raindrop as he tried to flick Nelissa’s collar to reveal more of her skin…
Nelissa had not caught on to what Edward was doing. She was still panicking, devising a way to explain her current situation.
When suddenly, she screamed and grabbed Edward’s invasive hands. She shrieked, “I can handle myself!”
“Shh,” Edward stuck a finger to her lips and dove in for a kiss. Nelissa relaxed as if the kiss was like an injection of diazepam.
“Calm down, you’ll have your chance,” Edward whispered behind her ear.
Nelissa took his words to heart and held her breath. Was he mad? He should be! She had just dumped him and crawled back to Zayden.
Nelissa was petrified by Edward’s gaze. She stood there like a lamp awaiting slaughter; Edward dried her moist skin with his handkerchief while still occasionally rubbing her sensually through the thin film of cloth.
The air within the car grew hotter and hotter; was it the heater? Or was it her lust brewing to match Edward’s desires?
They reached Edward’s villa and the rain was still pouring. It didn’t seem like it was going to clear out anytime soon.
Edward carried Nelissa down the car in his arms and Andrew left soon after that.
It was just six in the evening but the entire house was pitch-black. The roaring thunder and occasional astray flashes of lightning plunged the house into the setting of a horror movie.
Nelissa was in Edward’s arms as she shivered with fear. Edward ambled into the living room. His shoulders were titanic and his arms were ginormous. Nelissa leaned against his chest and they felt like stone tablets.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Edward brushed past the couch and ascended the stairs. Nelissa grew anxious; they were heading for the bedroom.
Nelissa began to explain, “I… I got the money from Penelope and she said that it wasn’t wise for me to owe you money. That’s why she gave me the money… It wasn’t Zayden’s money.”
Edward didn’t say anything. They reached the bedroom and suddenly, “Bam!” He kicked the door wide open.
He felt Nelissa’s heart pounding against his own as he growled back, “Only now you are explaining to me? What did you do earlier today? Did you intend to end our relationship with just a scribbled note?”
He brought Nelissa’s head closer and glared into her eyes. “I don’t recall my favors being so cheap.”
Edward then slammed the door with a sidekick and locked the door. Nelissa was then thrown onto the large bed!
Edward’s coat was still wrapped around Nelissa before it slipped down. Her fair shoulders were exposed and the damp dress perfectly displayed her curvaceous body.
Nelissa sat on the bed as she tried to crawl backwards to escape the primal urges of Edward.
Nelissa tried to explain herself further, “No, I didn’t mean it like that. Your girlfriend was outside your office when I got there so I passed the envelope to Andrew and… Ahh!”
Edward pressed against Nelissa as he grabbed her hands and submitted her in a starfish position.
He creeped up on Nelissa until they were practically breathing each other’s breath.
Edward then uttered, “I love listening to every word that comes out of your little mouth. But what did you do? You abandoned me when you got me charmed.”
“Nelissa, this is the most severe humiliation to a man you can ever commit,” Edward said as his legs slid between Nelissa’s.
“The only way I can regain my dignity is by taking your body. If you think you can just get rid of me and run back to Zayden, you’ll need to get my permission first!” Edward asserted and spread Nelissa’s legs wide open.
He then reached for Nelissa’s dress. He tore a hole in Nelissa’s dress and attacked her collarbone with his lips.
At that moment, the entire room transformed into a mating cavern for lions in heat!
Nelissa was shocked. She was nowhere as strong as Edward.
Even though they had shared two intimate moments together, this was the first time that Edward had used force. She didn’t know how to react.
She wailed out, “I’ll explain, Edward! Can you please let me explain myself? I only wanted to get back some photos I took with him. That’s it! That’s all! Nothing else!”
Nelissa flipped her head left and right to avoid Edward’s kiss. Edward got annoyed and grabbed her cheeks to set it in place.
Her eyes were teary and her face was blushing red. One couldn’t tell if she was turned-on or crying.
“You were the one that came pleading to me and you are also the one that wanted to get rid of me. You dare to cry now?” Edward frowned.
He rubbed away her tears and got even more irked. “What did I tell you before?”
“I am a very possessive man. Why didn’t you just come clean and tell me that you were going to look for Zayden?” Edward reprimanded her.
“You disobeyed me and got caught. Now you are here, crying and begging for forgiveness, do you think that it will be that easy?” Edward added as he bit Nelissa’s earlobes.
Nelissa was completely helpless; the remnants of her resistance were sapped dry.
She never intended to plead to him; however she did indeed want to get rid of him. But that was a long shot; she only wanted to pay back the money to him.
Edward gazed at Nelissa passionately and slowly enveloped her lips with his own. He sucked on her lips and whispered, “Do you know what I want now? I want you, I need you. I will make you submit to me and me alone. You are going to bear me a child.”
Nelissa was shaken by the word. She stared at Edward in disbelief.
“You.. jerk! I already have two kids! I can’t afford another child. Do you have any idea how much it costs to raise a child?” Nelissa screamed out.
“I have already paid back the money I owe you. Why can’t you just leave me alone?! You know full well that I would never even come to you if I had a choice!” Nelissa lashed out.
“What more do you want from me? A relationship? I don’t deserve it. You have so many girls around you at all times. I already have two kids,” Nelissa exploded.
“You have already taken my body. I have nothing more to offer you.” Nelissa slowly calmed down.
She expected Edward to get more enraged and subject her to more torture.
However, she had already paid back the money she owed him. If he was really going to force his way on the bed, that was going to be the last and only time!
“I didn’t expect you to appear in front of me again.” Edward finally broke the silence with a hoarse voice.
“Huh?” Nelissa met with Edward’s eyes.
His eyes were exploding with passion like fireworks; there were also traces of anxiousness hidden within his eyes. It was the first meaningful, passionate encounter they ever shared albeit for a brief moment.
“Nelly, don’t do it again.” Edward gently kissed Nelissa on the lips.
Nelissa’s heart began to fluster. She couldn’t think straight as she welcomed his kiss with open lips.
He called her Nelly. How did he know that nickname? Did Penelope tell him about that?
Their lips parted as a string of saliva formed between them.
Nelissa didn’t know what he was going to do. To her surprise, Edward got up and picked up his coat.
“You have been drenched. Go take a hot shower before you catch a cold. I don’t have any experience taking care of sick people,” he said before he reached for the door.
“By the way, spend the night here. The rain isn’t stopping anytime soon and it’s not safe to drive either.” He then left the room.
Nelissa nodded aggressively. At that point, anything was better than being forced into bed with him.
She didn’t dare to anger him anymore. Twice was more than enough!
As the door closed, Nelissa finally relaxed herself.
She sat on the bed and recalled what Edward said a while ago.
“Nelly, don’t do it again.”
Don’t do it again? Did he mean she wouldn’t have to meet him again? Was he going to let her go?
