The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 87

While the bill was being prepared, Luke gave me a reassuring smile. I smiled back at him and walked away with Eros, who the girls kept gawking at all the time.

“Please, if you need anything else, you can give me a call and I will personally come to deliver whatever you want One of the girls said, but he walked away without another glance at her or the rest of the staff.

Eros got in the car and started the ignition while I decided to first put on the seatbelt so that I would not g thrown around

I placed the gift–wrapped box on my lap and felt grateful to Luke who had thought of such a nice gesture. Surely, Eros couldn’t care less if the phone was tossed in a rag for me.

I took the seat belt’s end and tried pushing it into the lock, but it seemed stuck. I tried tugging and pulling at it, but it was of

And I did not dare move with the way he was acting. I thought my body would not want him after the way he had been indifferent to me since that night. But it seemed like his touch had ignited that spark again.

I began wildly imagining how it would feel to have his lips on my bare skin again. His hair was silky soft and dense and I fought my urge to run a hand through them as I kept my hands firmly glued to the seat and let him work.

“Can you move a little?” He grunted, and I shuffled in my seat but that only pushed my chest on his face.

Eros went still for a moment and so did I. I feared he would yell at me for being purposely naughty, but he only closed his eyes and opened them again, took a deep breath, and resumed working.
