The Sweetest Temptation
Chapter 248: Flirting

Chapter 248: Flirting

She thought to herself, panicking slightly as she met his steely gaze on her, raking her with a sort of reprove. Before him, she felt like a kid that her done something wrong, but was being spared – except in her case, she did not think she was going to he spared. Was it the playful nature of the client toward her that had gotten him this pissed? She could almost sense his fury palpitating in the air around them. She could literally feel herself suffocating in it.

"How did you feel flirting with the client?"

Stella did not want to believe that the question was directed at her, but they were the only two in the elevator, which only meant that he was talking to her. there was a distinct ringing in her ear that signified her brewing anger, and she needed to do something about it. He hadn’t called her what she thought he was calling her indirectly, so she would not flare up over something that he hadn’t said.

What would make him utter such bullshit in the first place?

She sighed one last time and opened her eyes, "Excuse me," She said again, refusing to let her anger get the best of her. she could not remember feeling this energetic in a long time, but she will not let it get the best of her, as it was already doing within her.

"You heard me clearly, don’t play dumb."

She sucked in air through her teeth, pulling her lower lip into her mouth, and once again, she shut her eyes.

How dare he call me a whore?!

"He was being friendly, and I was inclined to return the energy. I doubt that is something that you know since you are so filled with hate and jealousy."

Matteo couldn’t help the smile that tugged at his lips. This was a completely new side of her and knowing that he had somehow been responsible for triggering it made him even more excited.

"What makes you think I was jealous?"

The calmness about his voice infuriated her more than she thought she could handle, and like the smoke of a candlelight blown out, her patience diffused completely.

"If you think I’m going to sit back and watch you insult me, then Matteo Quinn, you are greatly mistaken because I will no longer take for granted any –"

Her words were interrupted when he closed the space between them, drove his hands into her hair and clasped his lips against hers, fiercely taken in that energy that he had brewed within her. His tongue delved into her mouth, swirling over hers, taking all of the strength in her knees and causing her to lean against him.

He let go of her hair and glided his hands over her back, tracing the curves of her waist with tantalising squeezes testing the skin of her curves.

She gasped for air when his lips slowly left hers, leaving her in a state of total cluelessness. she clutched his shoulders, her fingers dancing aimlessly as she sought for some sort of support, anything to bring back her ability to think.

Matteo circled his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, craving more of her soft peaks pressing against his chest and triggering his cock to pulsate with need. Their eyes locked in a fierce battle of need, his filled with undeniable lust, and hers dim with unexpected pleasure.

Slowly, but gradually, she felt her sense of reasoning returning, and the first thing that her eyes met was his, filled with nothing but lust, unending erotic need, and he had managed to instill that bit of feeling in her, causing each of the lascivious encounters to end with her swooning to as little as his touches.

She placed her palm on his chest and began to push him away, needing distance from the captivating envisage of sex that always managed to put her in the mood.

"What’s the matter?" He asked, obviously clueless to her sudden change of mood, or just not interested. when he had created much needed distance, she looked up at him, studying his gaze. His eyes were filled with question about her underlying reason for wanting him to let her be, but he could not oppose her choice.

She hated herself for being an easy target for romantics Matteo wanted nothing more but her body and she hated herself more for wanting to give in.

"Is it not clear?" She yelled her reply, her voice filled with an unusual load of sadness and self reproof.

From the moment that his lips met hers, her body and her mind made the decisions given to whatever he wanted, irrespective of what the consequences would be. but her heart could not bear any more of that pain that he once inflicted.

"I don’t want any more of this."

"Why is that?" He was so damn calm about everything. It hurt her so much because it felt like he did not care. And maybe that was truly the case.

"Ever since the last time, you’ve made it increasingly clear that this was a mistake, that all of this was a mistake that you genuinely regretted." She replied, pointing at both of them at intervals.

"If that is truly the case, then I do not want to force you into something that you clearly do not want. So, what is it that you want exactly?!"

Matteo was mute. He could not think of a reply to give to her after her evident statement. Although everything that she had said was not the case, he did not know where to start. He opened his mouth to speak, but the words couldn’t come out. They simply did not exist.

"I wish I knew too," He stated simply.

The elevator dinged, alerting them to their arrival at the penthouse. He stepped out without paying her a second look. She wiped the tears that were threatening to burst out of her depths and followed behind him.
