Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 278: A Misunderstanding

"Are you sure you don’t want to spend the night at my place, sink yourself in a jacuzzi, and forget your worries for a while? I’m certain the kids would understand that mommy needs some time out sometimes..." Antonio suggested as he killed the engine of his car right outside the grand gates of the Thorne mansion.

The offer was tempting, a comforting respite from the chaos of her life, but Athena hesitated, unsure if she was ready to take that step.

"Maybe some other time, Antonio," She finally replied with a warm smile, inhaling sharply when he leaned in closer.

"Are you still giving any thought to my request, or is it in the trash can since this fiasco with Morgan started?" Antonio’s voice was playful yet earnest, his eyes darting keenly at her eyes and lips, very expectant.

Athena chuckled nervously, feeling the weight of his gaze on her. "Of course I am. You’re an important person to me; I don’t joke with decisions that concern you, Antonio."

"I’m pleased to hear that," Antonio said, his voice dropping to a husky, breathy tone that made Athena’s heart race. He leaned even closer, and she felt a tingle of nerves wash over her.

"Uhmm..." She stuttered, desperately needing a reason to be out of the car. "I will see you around. Thanks for the night. You..."

Just as she hurriedly sputtered her goodbyes, Antonio pressed his lips against hers in a chaste kiss.

But he didn’t pull away; his lips lingered, as if waiting for her permission to deepen the intimacy.

Athena hesitated, her curiosity piqued and her heart pounding as she contemplated what this kiss could mean for them.

With a rush of joyous impulsiveness, Antonio teased her lips with the tip of his tongue.

When she instinctively opened up, allowing him to explore, a surge of desire washed over him, making him dizzy. The intoxicating rhythm of blood rushing to his groin shattered his thoughts, grounding him only when Athena abruptly pulled away.
