Mark pushed Arianne into the corner and tilted wp4webnovel.com chin upward with his hand. His eyes penetrated hers.
“What the hell am I doing? Well, for starters, I noticed that you have been challenging the line quite frequently lately. You came up with a prank to torment me a little, didn’t you? Now, if I don’t punish you right now for it, I’ll soon find out one day that I’m completely under your whims!” wp4webnovel.com hissed. “You want to go out to work? You should be the one pondering more deeply about me because work should not jeopardize your role in Smore’s life and mine. This is how we live now, Arianne. If you can fulfill our needs, I’ll let you work.”
Arianne’s heart thumped wildly against wp4webnovel.com chest Her eyes glided from his handsome face down to his Adam’s apple, then to his collarbones, then to his hardened, toned chest. Finally, that infatuation young girls got when a man first nabbed their hearts crashed onto Arianne like a deluge.
She could not fathom why — despite the two of them already having posterity — his action still managed to make wp4webnovel.com face flush and wp4webnovel.com heart refuse to be still. Was it because they never had actual, consensual intimacy before? The sort of intimacy between two people who willingly surrender to each other? How many times had they had sex since their marriage? Arianne could not tell. Whatever the number might be, it was probably one reason why having sex with Mark still felt as exciting as a first-time could get.
Feverish lips rained down on her. Her heart shuddered at the touch, and before wp4webnovel.com knew it, wp4webnovel.com had begun to raise herself tall by standing on wp4webnovel.com feet, wp4webnovel.com hand slinging around his neck. He pushed wp4webnovel.com to the bed, and suddenly, wp4webnovel.com wondered out loud, “You had a lot of rounds last night, though. Are you sure you even have enough energy to spare for tonight?”
Mark’s motion suddenly froze into place. A look of shock and a tad bit of hurt crossed his face. “Arianne—!”
Unfortunately, the woman was a little too intoxicated by his action that wp4webnovel.com foggy mind could not figure out why wp4webnovel.com sounded so offended by wp4webnovel.com words. “What? Oh, I knew it, you’re tired! You must be tired during the day, too. I understand. I guess we’ll go to sleep tonig— ”
His expression darkened before wp4webnovel.com pushed wp4webnovel.com legs up into the air. “That’s it! If you’re not a screaming mess tonight, I’ll renounce my name as a Tremont!”
Fast-forward to one in the morning. Tiffany Lane suddenly bolted tip from wp4webnovel.com nightmare with a lingering profound dread that was reluctant to leave. She sat up on wp4webnovel.com bed, wp4webnovel.com hand on wp4webnovel.com chest, and found sleep had evaded wp4webnovel.com completely.
She could not even remember the dream that had woken wp4webnovel.com up.
The bitterness of that coffee wp4webnovel.com had in the late afternoon was still tart in wp4webnovel.com tongue. After the meetup, Tiffany had skipped dinner and slept until this hour.
Peckish, wp4webnovel.com rose and dragged herself to the fridge, scouting for something to eat. When wp4webnovel.com passed by the living room, wp4webnovel.com noticed Tanya’s shoes were missing. In other words, wp4webnovel.com had not come back.
Tiffany pushed open Tanya’s room to confirm that it was the case. She had not come home — but why and how? She was a goody-two-shoes from head-to-toe, and this would be the first time wp4webnovel.com had not returned home late at night. Neither had Tiffany heard of Tanya having a new boyfriend. She became more and more anxious, so wp4webnovel.com gave the girl a call.
Tanya’s phone appeared to be off.
Tiffany’s mind wandered to the unsettling dread wp4webnovel.com woke up with earlier, and suddenly, wp4webnovel.com body froze in mortification. Had something happened to Tanya?! She was just a girl. Which meant there were plenty of terrible, cruel things that could befall her.
The last thing Tiffany wanted was to have Tanya go through what wp4webnovel.com had gone through. She wanted to call for help, but wp4webnovel.com struggled to find the right person. It was so late right now — Arianne must be sleeping, and wp4webnovel.com definitely needed the rest to take care of wp4webnovel.com son in the day.
Arianne was not an option. After a two-second debate with herself, Tiffany chose Jackson. She had wanted to start talking to wp4webnovel.com tomorrow morning, but this was an emergency. Plans always bend for emergencies.
Strangely enough, Jackson’s phone was also unreachable.
Panic possessed her. She hopped into wp4webnovel.com car and drove to White Water Bay Villa in the hopes of seeing him. She had the keys to his house.
Even if Jackson was still mad at Tiffany, there was no way wp4webnovel.com would balk at helping wp4webnovel.com over something like this, right?
