Chapter 272: A Promise

" I want you..." Evangeline woke up to Lucien’s voice still echoing in her ear. Lazily, she got out of bed, unable to believe that last night had been real. If it were not for the fact that her thighs were sore from holding onto the bike, she would have been sure that she’d dreamt everything up.

Heck, she was the princess of Estania and she had no idea that such rallies were regularly held so close to the capital! She’d always thought these things happened too far away from Estania. Her horizons had been broadened. In many different ways.

She could still feel her lips tingling at the way he had caught her face and kissed her. Deeply. Passionately. His hand had been in her hair as he tongue connected fiercely with hers.

Slowly, she walked to the mirror and moved aside her hair to look at the mark he had left there. He’d been fierce yesterday, unlike the gentle and somewhat dominating touches that he’d given her in the past. Yesterday, Lucien had been intent on taking her.

Evangeline rubbed her legs together as memories of last night threatened to consume her. The way he’d pushed her to the ground, his hands roving over her, sliding under her shirt first and then between her legs... Last night, it wasn’t only the bike that she’d ridden but his hand as well.

Evangeline buried her face in her hands in shyness as she remembered the need to stop him and the need that he never stop. Yesterday, he’d not asked for her surrender but conquered her. She would have been powerless to stop him if he hadn’t controlled himself.

"Bas****! How dare he have the will to stop when she was so helpless." She cursed her silly self in the mirror as she slowly dabbed some foundation to hide the mark.

Why did he hold all the power in this relationship? It had been this way since the beginning! She needed to wrestle that control from him. She wanted him to be as mindless as her when he was with her as when she was with him.

And so she imagined. She would need to find a way to drive him crazy with need for her. As she thought of plans and doing research for this kind of thing, a knock on her door distracted her. It was the maid who came in to tell her," Princess, Mr. Frost is here to escort you."

Evangeline blushed at the name! Even though she had only been thinking naughty things, his sudden arrival made her blush. She cursed at herself. How was she supposed to see him like this? She wouldn’t even be able to meet his eye.

"I’ll be there in a moment."

One last time, she made sure that the bite marks on her neck were covered and she quickly stood up and grabbed her purse. It was time for their meeting with the labour union and hospitality directors. Today was going to be a challenge and she could not afford to make a mistake.

As she walked outside, she almost stumbled to find her staff missing and Lucien holding her coat in his hand. "Regain control." She reminded herself in her head as she sent him a quick cool smile before stopping in front of him.

He smiled and walked behind her, helping her put on the coat. Today, her hair was tied up and so his fingers brushed against her neck as he withdrew his hand slowly, a touch both deliberate and lingering. The subtle contact sent a shiver through her, and she fought to maintain her composure.

But then, he leaned forward and kissed her nape, making her shudder," You look beautiful as always, Angel."

Evangeline breathed deeply as she avoided looking at him and instead started to walk away," We cannot be late today. Lets get there soon."

"Of course, princess. Your wish is my command."

Evangeline almost snorted at his words. As if! He was the one who was always in command.

She’d walked a few steps ahead when he caught up with her, smoothly holding her hand so that they would be together and murmured," It shouldn’t look like you are trying to run away from a murderer, right Princess?"

As he opened the car door for her, she nodded in agreement and watched as he closed the door behind her, walking around to the other side.

As the car started, the partition between them and the driver was raised slowly. Startled, she looked up at Lucien in question. Did he want to discuss something confidential with her?

But he looked at her and murmured," Dam* it! Don’t move. I’ll try not to muss you up."

Her eyes widened and before she could say more, with a groan, he leaned forward and caught her lips in a hard kiss. Having no idea how much time had passed, Evangeline blinked quickly as he moved back," You make me go crazy, Angel. Do you have any idea? See, even now, when you are just sitting there looking at me, I have to stop myself from jumping you and taking you right here."

Evangeline knew she shouldn’t have said that but she did say it--" Then why stop?"

"Dam* it! Don’t say things like that! I am trying to do the right thing here."

"Doing right is so boring." She goaded, enjoying the way he clenched his hands and looked at her deeply. This was what she wanted! Why should she suffer alone?

Before she could gloat, however, Lucien leaned forward and quickly pressed another hard kiss against her lips, "Tonight, angel."

Evangeline looked at him with wide eyes as he repeated the words which sounded like both a promise and a threat... Suddenly, she could not wait for the day to come to an end. It made her happy that he wanted her as much as she wanted him...

As the car rolled to a stop, and Lucien prepared to got off, she whispered," Then, I’ll be waiting for you Lucifer."

He froze and whipped his head to look at her and she was sure the wild hunger in his eyes was reflected in hers.
