The dancers moved gracefully across the stage as the singers poured every ounce of their energy into the performance. My eyes, however, were fixated on Alex’s actions. He was enjoying himself without a care in the world. I couldn’t help but notice how different we were—he was left-handed, and his plate was filled entirely with vegetables, a complete contrast to mine. I was more of a non-vegetarian person.
His hands rested upon Tina’s back, laughing along her as she cracked so jokes.
I put a piece of chicken into my mouth; eyes narrowed at the subtle interaction of his hands with her ass cheeks. The bastard was squeezing her buttocks right in the public!
"You are observing him." An unfamiliar voice entered my ears.
Shit!
Soone has noticed !
Without turning back, I said, "He is my brother. So, I was just observing him." It was lie, which sent a shiver down my spine—a wave of disgust to be exact.
"No need to lie. I am also observing him." The woman stood beside . She had a dark brown hair, a pair of blue eyes. She was wearing a simple white shirt over which her hair cascaded, and a simple skirt which showed her fair legs. Her face was too beautiful... though less than mine.
A scoff escaped my lips at my new thoughts. Never I have ever thought of a day where I compare my beauty with another woman. It looks like I have truly accepted myself. Alex was my past, but Sharon is my present... and my future.
"You are his sister?"
I nodded, "And you are? People don’t observe others like that. Do you like him?"
The woman showed a look of disgust. She sneered, "I would never like him. A man like him is as pathetic as it cos," she turned towards , "I like sexy won like you. What’s your na, gorgeous?" She gave a wide smile, eyes running over my figure.
I smirked, "You are too direct. But I would amuse you for now. My na is Sharon. What’s yours?"
"Ruby. Ruby Fernando."
"So, Ruby... why are you observing my brother?" I asked her, wrapping my arms around her arms. If I want answers, I will flirt with her. Besides, it’s a win-win for if I flirt with a woman like her.
"Trying to get to answer your questions? Honey, if you allow to take you to my bed, maybe I can answer so questions of yours. But for now, pipe it down, will you?" Ruby rubbed my head, throwing another smile.
"Then, take ," I whispered seductively. I am now more experienced. Kaerin and Maria were great trainers for , and getting fucked by them has opened so new doors for . So, I am willing to try with her.
Ruby gave a silent look of assessnt, her fingers wrapping around my waist. She leaned down to my ears, her hot breath hitting against my ears. "Your brother is glaring at . Are you sure that person is just your brother?" she whispered.
My eyes moved towards Alex, who was busy glaring at Ruby. His glare contained so much hatred and disgust for her that I can’t even describe with just words. Even a murderer would be glared with less intensity by his victim.
"You know him?" I asked her, letting her play with my hair.
"No, I don’t. He was just a puzzle for that I intended to solve."
"So, you are attracted by him?"
"No, I am confused by him."
I looked into her eyes, and held her fingers in mine. "What do you an by that?" I asked her. She gave a dark look full of lust. "If you are that interested in , take to your bed. Maybe then, you will answer my questions." I was shocked by my own behaviour. It seems that I am more unhinged than before.
A part of was happy by getting her attention like that—so much full of lust and possessiveness.
"You are very horny little thing, aren’t you? A manipulative one at that. Using your own body to seduce , Sharon—you should never provoke possessive people." Her warning rang bells inside my head, yet I liked it. For so fucking reason, I liked it.
"Maybe, I want that. Besides, I am a bit horny. Can you satisfy ?" I whispered in her ears, burying my head into the crook of her neck.
I heard her swallowing loudly as she rubbed my waist in small circles. "You are very mysterious," she comnted.
"You are too. But we all have so secrets, right?"
"For us being strangers, you incite feelings quickly inside of . Are you a seductress here to kill ?"
I could people’s eyes on us, but I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tightly. "People are looking at us. As for being a seductress, you will have to find out."
Ruby laughed, "Is that so?" she slled my hair with a strong sniff, "I am liking it—when people look at us—at you with those eyes. Only I can touch you, not them."
"Am I your property? We just t a couple of minutes ago."
She scooped up effortlessly into her arms, eliciting a chorus of sharp gasps from the stunned partygoers around us.
Alex’s face twisted into a murderous glare, his eyes burning with barely contained fury as he watched Ruby stride away with in her arms, while Tina fixed with an unreadable stare—cool, calculating, impossible to decipher amid the swirling lights and fading music. Why was she looking at like that?
Ruby carried out in a princess carry; my body cradled against her like a trophy claid from the chaos, and I liked it sohow. Her grip was firm yet gentle, muscles flexing under her elegant gown, the scent of her perfu—jasmine laced with sothing wild and untad—enveloping as we cut through the crowd. She was a total alpha, wasn’t she?
Cool night air rushed in as we burst through the grand doors into the hotel lobby, marble floors echoing our steps, distant city horns blaring like a frantic soundtrack to this impulsive escape. Ruby’s footstep steady as if she was holding nothing in her arms.
"Am I too light?" I asked her.
She nodded, "Too light."
Tina lingered in my mind’s eye, her unreadable gaze a puzzle of envy or concern, but Ruby’s steady heartbeat against mine drowned it out—she moved with purpose, heels clicking authoritatively toward the exit "You’re mine now," she murmured, lips brushing my ear, her breath warm against the chill.
"If that’s what you want, I won’t stop you." I snuggled into her chest. Let’s see what her secrets are... because the woman holding in her arms wasn’t a human at all.
