Chapter 54

"Em! Wake up…" Aurora tried to wake Emily but she was sleeping not caring about the world and Susan was as drunk as Emily and she was sleeping too.

They didn't let Aurora drink like them and now they were completely wasted enjoying their dream world while Aurora had lost her senses but unlike them, she was still on earth, not in her dream world.

"Em! Liam is coming with his abs! His hot abs!" She slurred and then giggled.

"Em, wake up!!!" Aurora shook her friend one more time but no use, Emily was sleeping deeply. Aurora stood up with her wobbly legs and went to the main door. "I should check, Liam." She mumbled to herself and opened the main door of her home.

And just then Liam was about to ring the doorbell but he didn't have to because Aurora opened the door for him, he dropped his raised hand and scowled. "Liam…" she screeched in happiness, throwing her hands to him.

Liam was shocked by her sudden action. Her body was tightly pressed against his front.

Fuck!

She giggled once again before breaking herself from his body. "Show me your abs!!" She ordered, fisting his shirt tightly to pull it out of his pants.

"What are you?" He asked, eyeing her. She was looking hot in that red dress and she was profoundly drunk. He couldn't tolerate her chirpy self when she was in her senses and right now she was completely haggard with too much booze.

He recalled how she bit him on the nose when she ate those intoxicated berries on the island. "I made a bet with Emily and I know I am going to win, guess how?" She whispered the last part by pulling him closer to herself.

"Ask!!" She demanded, thumping her foot on the marble floor. Her eyes were drowsy. "I need patience!!" He whispered and grabbed her hand.

"Where is your room?" He asked a giggling Aurora who touched his nose.

Instinctively, he took a step back recalling what she did to his nose once. "I like your abs!"

"Let's go inside Mrs Knight," he said once again but looking at her condition he sighed and picked her upon his shoulder. Her A** jiggled in the air while she moved her long beautiful legs. Liam barely managed to stop himself from spanking her.

Once he moved inside he watched her friends who were into their own world. "What an adventurous night."

"Em! See Liam is here, let's check his abs together shall we?" She slurred. Liam didn't wait a single second more and took her to the nearest room he saw and made her stand up like a child.

"Get out of your clothes Liam," she said and tried to remove his coat. Liam gritted his teeth, he was on the verge of throwing whr in that bloody bed and having his way with her. He would make sure she would not be able to walk for a week but he couldn't do that.

Liam knight was many things. A dark soul. A killer. But he was not a man who took advantage of an intoxicated girl. He grabbed her hand to stop her from ripping his clothes from his body. "The time for it will come soon, but right now we need to get you in your right mind."

Aurora made a face and sat down on the bed. Her vision turned blurry, she tried to focus on him but black dots were dancing in her vision. "Liam, hold me or I will fall. Everything is spinning around me."

Liam cursed under his breath and held her hand. "I won't let you fall, Aurora. Tell me, where is your kitchen?"

She touched his face with her other hand. "You are bad, you know that right? Very very bad!!! Why did you do that to me, Liam? Why?" She asked in a small voice.

Liam frowned but his eyes were focused on Aurora's face. "You hurt me when you said you don't care about my friends. You know I didn't tell anyone what you did, how much you hurt me even though Emily and Susan asked me many times and you know the worst thing?" She giggled.

Liam sharpened his eyes. The softness in her voice and the purity in her eyes stunned him. "I didn't even know why I did that. I wanted to forget what you did but couldn't so I told myself that it was your loss because you lost me as your friend and you can ask Susan and Emily how lucky they feel to have me in their life."

A soft chuckle left his throat. He couldn't stop himself from speaking. "You have too much confidence in yourself, Aurora."

She nodded. "And you are the worst person to be called a friend."

"Hm! But guess what, baby girl, I don't want to be your friend. You know that right?"

She pinched her lips in a thin line, nodded. "Yes but…"

"But you are engaged to that son of a bitch…"

At that Aurora's face turned sad. "Yes, engaged…" She blinked, once. twice. Then her lower lip wobbled a little and the next thing he knew was she was brawling next to him like a child throwing tantrums.

Liam was horrified. "Aurora, calm down." He tried to console her but she started crying even harder.

"No one loves me. I am all alone…" she said and even after trying to stop her crying for about ten minutes Liam finally lost his patience and shouted with such intensity and she gasped.

"Stop crying!" He pinched the bridges of his nose, closing his eyes tightly for a minute. "Get up, you need a cold shower to get your mind straight."

Aurora kept staring at him with her sparkling teary eyes but stood up without making a sound. Liam made her stand under the shower and tapped on it. Droplets of water started falling on Aurora's head and she gasped, grabbing Liam's hand tightly, pulling him closer.

Liam made an irritating sound in his throat when he got wet under the shower, angry beyond words he opened his mouth to scold her but stopped when she hugged him tightly. "Don't leave me alone, please."

Aurora pleaded in a small voice. His breath stopped for a second and he sighed, shutting the shower off he looked around for the bathrobe and found one on the hot stand. He looked at the ceiling, inhaled sharply and once again looked at her.

"We need to get you out of these clothes, Aurora," he whispered, touching her shoulder. She was still clinging to his body and a certain part of which was getting awake even when he was drenched in cold water.

"Aurora, come on, let's get you out of these clothes." He separated her from himself and turned her around to open her dress. He had seen her body many times and even touched it because he couldn't stop himself from feeling her skin on his hands. The hunger he has for her grew more and more every time he glanced at her. She was the Greek goddess of beauty with whom he was dying to have coitus. Alas, he got her out of her wet clothes and now she was only in her undergarments.

She was wearing red lace and the sight of her in that thing made him feral with need, but Liam was a man of steel self-control. If it was not for it he would have taken her many times on multiple occasions when he had the opportunities. Aurora would have agreed he was sure of it. He gulped the lust and scooped her in his arms once he dressed her in that hot bathrobe.

Aurora was mumbling things, her eyes were closed when Liam put her on the bed and covered her with the soft quilt. He looked at his clothes and got out of them, wearing one of the bathrobes.

He stared at the sleeping figure or Aurora for a while. Every single second he waited for her to be his wife was increasing his hunger to make her his.

Lust was certainly a strong emotion!

Liam was about to leave but he recalled what his father told her about Aurora being on the Mexican's hit list. His eyes changed instantly and he touched her cheek with the back of his fingers, "No one can touch you, baby girl. No one except for me has the right to torture you."

Giving her one last look he strolled out of the room and once again sighed seeing the other two drunkards in the hall. "Idiots…" he mumbled under his breath, walking out to bring a change of clothes from his car. Being in the mafia you have to always be prepared because blood couldn't be washed out easily and Liam Knight didn't like wearing soiled clothes.

He couldn't leave her alone, certainly not in the condition she was in when he knew how she behaves in this condition. So he went back to her house and slept beside her while hugging her tightly from behind.

The next day Aurora woke up with a bustling headache. She couldn't even open her eyes in a normal manner and when the smallest flutter of her lids awoke the sharp pain. Somehow she managed to look at the side table for water, but instead of water, she found a note. She picked it up and read it.

"Take the pills," she put the piece of paper back on the table thinking it was Susan who ordered her to take the pills. She didn't recall a single thing that happened last night, there were some images but all of them were blurry.

"I will never drink again…" she mumbled and without thinking twice gulped the water with pills in one go and managed to leave her bed and got dressed for the office in record time. "If I am in this condition I can just imagine Emily's and Susan's," she said while brushing her hair softly trying to evade pain. Pills and shower helped a bit with the hangover but still, the dull pain was there. When she went out and found her friends with their heads in their hands.

"Are you both alright?"

Susan raised her head to meet her eyes while Emily only groaned. "My head is killing me, Aurora."

She could understand after all she was in the same situation a while ago. "Hm, have you taken the aspirin?"

"No…" they both answered simultaneously.

"You know what? Just go shower and take some aspirin while I order something for breakfast. Don't forget we have an office in an hour."

Both the girls did as she was told and Aurora ordered their breakfast. She couldn't stop herself from admiring Susan for loving her like a mother. She didn't think about taking the meds herself but thought about Aurora first.

"Who is driving?" Emily asked both her friends. She was wearing goggles to hide her drunken eyes while Susan and Aurora didn't bother with it.

"I am, I don't trust either of you when it comes to driving. Both are useless." Susan said, snatching the keys from Emily's hands.

Aurora rolled her eyes while Emily groaned and they both settled in the car and they drove back to the office.

Aurora was still in pain but she knew that she couldn't skip work and she tried her best to focus on work. She was reading the next idea for her design when the intercom on her table rang.

And heard the last thing she wanted to hear. "Mr Knight asked for you with the new design in his cabin."

"But the design is not ready yet, Mr Rawls," she tried to resonate but he didn't listen and Aurora had no other choice but to go to Liam's cabin. She was angry with him for forcing her to come to meet him first thing in the morning when she was busy with serious work. With no other option left she stood up and went to Liam's cabin.

"You called for me, Mr Knight?" She asked, entering the cabin.

Liam leaned back in his chair and raised his brows. "You need to learn a little about office etiquette, Mrs Knight…"

Aurora gritted her teeth and walked further, when she heard him, she smiled. "And you need to stop playing these silly games with me Liam. Stop calling me in your cabin when I try to work. You knew that I didn't have a single design ready and still you called me again today. What do you want?"

Liam chuckled, shook his head lightly, "nothing but I was just wondering if you are fine or not because last night you were not in your senses and a hangover is a bitch to deal with."

Aurora's eyes widened. "How do you know about my hangover?"

Liam stood up, his eyes flashed jovially. "It's a strange question you are asking or are you one of those, Mrs Knight?"

"One of them?"

Ya! One of those who didn't remember anything," he smiled. "So I am right, you don't remember anything. It's okay, let me remind you. You see, last night, you called me to your house and were very eager to…"

Aurora's heart stopped beating for a moment. Flabbergasted, she asked"eager for what?" She demanded.

He smiled but didn't answer and asked a question of his own. "You should wear more bows. I liked what I saw last night, baby girl."

Aurora's brows jerked together in confusion but then, she snapped her eyes to him when she got the meaning behind his words.

The bastard was talking about the bow lace panty she was wearing last night. And now her mind was bursting with one one question. What exactly happened last night??
