Chapter 17

Aurora POV

I sighed in suffocation. I have two options: either I walk back to our room or I wander around the hotel. I didn't want to face Susan right now, I was too emotional for that. So I decided to roam around the hotel. I walked to the gym area lost in my thoughts.

I cringed at the sound of loud music coming from inside as the haze I was in broke out. I turned to leave but bumped into something hard.

"Jesus!" I cursed as I fell on my lazy bump. A hand was offered to me to help me stand up. I took it and got on my legs. "I am so…"

I was talking but stopped when I saw who the person standing in front of me was. That Arrogant ass, Liam Knights!

"If you pay attention to your surroundings then you wouldn't have to apologize to me," He said with a proud arrogant expression on his face.

I snatched my hand away, "what are you doing here?" I snapped.

He raised his eyebrows, "I should ask you this question, Aurora, what are you doing in my city?" He asked.

"Your city! How much money did you buy it from the government of Canada?" I jabbed at him and he only chuckled.

"I need not buy it from anyone, Aurora, because I own it. Now, cut this crap and tell me what are you doing here?" He asked in his deep voice.

"Why should I tell you, who are you to ask me anything? What right do you have to question me about anything you arrogant fool!"

And his eyes changed the instant I used the word arrogant fool. The expression was changed from something calm to dangerous.

He grabbed my elbow in a tight bruising hold and pulled me close to himself.

"Don't. Ever. Disrespect. Me. Again!" He gritted out every word with so much force as if he was controlling himself from hurting me. I blinked twice in fear. The man looked dangerous at this moment.

I tried to wiggle out of his hold but he tightened his grip making me wince in pain. He grabbed my neck from behind with his other hand and fixed it in one position so that I couldn't turn it around.

He came near to my face, our eyes locked with each other. He was so close to me that his warm breath fanned my face. He might have had a glass of bourbon because I could smell it.

"If it was anyone else instead of you who used this kind of tone with me. I would have ripped his body apart piece by piece and fed it to my dogs but you are lucky that I want you Aurora…" he said in his deep voice. I even forgot to blink, a shiver ran down my body hearing him.

I sucked in a breath when I felt his thumb over my lips, "this beautiful face of yours is making me insane. The things I have planned to do with this body of yours is making me hard…"

To my horror, my breathing quickened hearing his dirty words. "But you are in urgent need of getting disciplined, you need to learn many things but worry not I will teach you them, Trigitsa!"

I gulped, my chest heaving up and down. His lips tugged upward and suddenly I felt his hand on my right bosom. He gave it a gentle squeeze and I was shocked at his action.

How dare he touch me without my permission. A fury ran down my body as I pushed him away with all my strength. "How dare you touch me like that, you bastard!"

He sharpened his eyes and pulled me in his arms again. I tried to get out of his arms while he only laughed at my attempts. "Many have tried to get out of my clutches, Trigitsa! But no one succeeded. Stop trying in vain."

"You are nothing but a scoundrel…" I said and stopped my attempts as an idea came to my mind.

I managed to flash him a flirty smile,

He frowned. "You want to have me…" I asked him.

He raised a brow in question. His hold on me eased a little and that was the only thing I needed. I dug my long sharp nails on his hands, he got distracted by my sudden attack which gave me a chance to ram my knee straight between his legs and I did it.

He hadn't expected such a reaction from me, his face scrunched in pain and his eyes filled with rage. I don’t know but for the first time, I felt a kind of victory in my heart, which made me feel proud like I’ve achieved something big.

I smiled at his shocked and painful expression as he got hurt twice from me. "Next time don't come near me or I will scratch your face, not your hands you arrogant ass!"

He tried to take a step in my direction but before he could gain his posture back, I ran away from there with lightning speed. I reached the pool area and sighed in relief. I turned to look if he was following me when I was sure that I was not being followed by that arrogant ass. I burst out laughing recalling his face after he found blood on his hands.

I looked at my nails proudly. "Thank you for helping me today guys…" I giggled and then stopped laughing. My mood improved in just a few minutes today. Ah! The joy of seeing that shocked expression was wonderful.

I walked further towards the poolside. It was magnificent. My legs itch to swim but I didn't have a bikini on so I skipped the thought and just sat on one of the sun chairs there and ordered myself a glass of white wine to refresh my mood. The server bought it for me and I gulped it in one go enjoying the beautiful weather of my...oops! His city and I burst out laughing again his expression got fixed in my memory.

Arrogant ass!

On the other hand…

Liam kept staring at his hands with a fury that was raging in his mind right now.

That girl was waking a side of him which he was scared would consume him if he didn't get her. She was like a drug that he wanted to take. He could do anything to have her, his mind and body craved her nearness.

He inhaled sharply as her scent still lingered in the air. "Tristan, you are driving me insane with that ripe body of yours." He whispered. Adrenaline shot through his veins, he wanted to calm himself or the right words should be, he needed to calm his mind or nothing would stop him from going to her and having his way with her.

So he did what he did in these kinds of moments. He called one of his skunks and asked her to meet him in his room. He walked to his room and there stood his whore.
