Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 8

POV: “Adelaide

Damon tasted like a glass of sweet red wine, like fresh fruit and saltwater in a dizzying explosion of emotions. He tasted like home, and it took every ounce of restraint I possessed to pull away from him when our lips parted.

We were both gasping, staring at each other. There was a vicious hunger in his dark eyes as we breathed in each other’s air. Drunk on the wine or the kiss, I wasn’t sure but all I knew was I wanted

more.

I licked my bottom lip, chasing the last remnants of his taste, and his eyes followed my movements closely. The hunger in his eyes intensified as he watched me.

I smirked at him, a challenging glint in my eye. It seemed I enjoyed teasing him in this way. His lips twitched into a sly smile, and his fingers weaved around the back of my head. I gasped as he pulled me into him, crashing our lips together for another kiss. I let out a soft moan involuntarily. Damon was like a raging inferno, consuming everything in his path as he drank me up like a man dying of thirst. I felt the desire for him growing in me with each kiss. We couldn’t tear ourselves. away from one another.

Damon ran his hands over my body, grazing my breasts before settling on my hips. His hands gripped them with some force, as if he was stopping himself from letting them continue to wander around my body.

My hands slid down his chest, slowly making their way to his waist, trying to press myself closer, but he didn’t let me. His grip tightened on my hips, holding me still while he devoured my mouth with. hungry kisses.

I broke the kiss first, gasping for breath as he buried his face in my neck and inhaled deeply. I shuddered, my body feeling hot all over as my lips ached from his brutal kiss. 1 arched my head. backward, giving him full access to my neck.

I could hear my heart pounding loudly in my ears, but I didn’t care. The smell of him was intoxicating, and I was lost in the moment, no longer caring about my dislike of him. And wondering how I had ever disliked him to begin with.

Softly, he trailed tiny kisses up and down my neck as I caught my breath, and I shivered, trying desperately to calm my racing heart. But it was no use while his lips were on me. My body craved him now.

Then he leaned back, a smug look on his face, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. He always was so proud of himself.

He leaned in once more at the same time I did, and our coordination was lost.

Our noses knocked together, and I winced, pulling back, the moment now gone. We both chuckled slightly under our breath at the collision.

But then, we looked at each other, and the merriment was lost, the awkward silence almost too much. to bear. I could still see the desire on his face, but I knew it was gone from mine. Embarrassment was taking over as my mind raced to catch up with my actions.

I blushed furiously, avoiding his eyes as I tried to move from his lap, but his hands tightened on my hips, preventing my movement. I couldn’t stay like this, not now that reality had come crashing back

in on us.

I glared at him, crossing my arms. “I’d like to go back to my seat.”

Damon smirked, “I just so happen to
