Chapter 82: Black Ball [3]
The classical music changed to another rhythm, other partners filled the dance floor following with the loud beats.
Lorna’s eyes caught Liam and Iris dancing.
She faces Chase.
"Okay this particular song is about changing dance partners," Lorna said.
"So what’s the plan?" he asked, spinning her for a brief second.
"We swap with the black ghoul, I think I can get answers from him," she said, coming back to him.
"What makes you think he will disclose any info to you?"
"Well because he doesn’t know my identity, he thinks I am a ghoul so will just have a friendly ghoul chat" she shrugs.
"That’s a stupid plan," Chase said scowling, a beat ca in.
"Well too late," she said, leaving his arms and then spinning.
Before Chase could act Iris was now in his arms, he ntally cursed but forced a smile on the outside, his eyes drifting to Lorna locked in the black ghoul arms, he felt unease.
"Well this is a surprise," Liam said amused, grabbing her waist tightly as they waltz.
"If it isn’t the famous ghoul in the city," Lorna said amused.
"I’m a fan, trust
every ghoul is" she shrugs.
With a dark smirk, Liam leans closer to her.
"Are we seriously playing this ga right now" he whispers close to her ear, she shivers in his deep voice.
"Lorna".
The color from her face drains instantly. ’He fucking knows’ she thought with wide eyes, before she could ask why, Liam spins her clockwise, she spins back to Chase’s arms.
"What’s wrong?" Chase asked as a flush of worry found his features, she looked unease.
"Um nothing, am fine, I just need more ti," she said.
"Keep the lady close and swap with another partner," she said as the beat ca in again.
"Lor-" before he could say anything, she spins back to Liam.
"Twice in a row, keep tempting
agent or I won’t let go next ti," Liam said amused.
"H-how d-did y-you-"
"Your eyes gave you away" he cut her words, spinning her clockwise for a brief second.
She gulped coming back to his arms, he held her firm and tightly like he didn’t want to let go.
The music changed to a slow beat as the lights dim down, they stop waltzing and move slowly with the beat, it took a minute of silence before she broke it.
"Why? Because it’s like Riley?" Lorna said in a sassy manner, she couldn’t help the pain in her chest knowing that was his only reason.
"No, because I knew it belonged to one particular agent I am desperately trying to avoid," he said in a bored tone.
"The feelings are mutual," Lorna said sternly.
Liam roughly pushed her body more to him, Lorna gasp from the impact biting her lips.
"Really now, then why do I sense hesitation in your voice," he said softly, their faces inches apart, their eyes locked in one another. Liam’s hand on her waist slowly trails her exposed back, she shivers as his fingers brush against her smooth skin running up and down the center sensually, she bit her lips once more fighting a moan that threatens to escape her lips.
Liam smirks knowing the effect he had on her and it turned him on and set his body ablaze.
"Tell
Lorna" he whispers.
"Why are you resisting?" he adds huskily.
A faint moan escaped her lips, Liam’s smirk grew wider.
"You have no idea what you are doing to ," Liam said as his other hand traced her side outlining her curves, a wave of desire struck through her body like wildfire. Her hands tighten against his shoulder blades. ’Get it together Lorna’ she ntally slaps herself, she had work to do, not drooling over a handso man that stole each breath away from her, she needed to focus on the goal at hand, or else more suspicion will be on her from her team.
"That woman Linda Sanford, she’s the drug dealer isn’t she?" Lorna asked.
"Your agency questions your survival don’t they," Liam asked, avoiding her question with his.
Lorna froze at the sudden question.
"Living through
three tis will certainly raise suspicion" he tilts his head to the side as they slowly et the beat of the music.
"You should be detained or worse for siding with
unless," he said brushing his face against her side face, Lorna shivers at the contact as her body ran hotter by the second, she burned for his touch against her skin more.
"You didn’t tell them what happened" he adds burying his head in her neck inhaling her wonder scent that slls of cinnamon and rose, it gave him the comfort he never thought he could find ever since Riley. Her hair was packed up so he got a better view of her neck, his eyes soften seeing no birthmark as Riley had, it was proof this woman that mysteriously resembles his lover wasn’t her and what struck him the most, his unusual feelings towards this agent was still evident, he could feel it with every fiber of his bone and it scared him.
"Do I have a choice?!
