Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

I ended up not attending Christopher's wife's birthday party after all.

As soon as my car pulled into an empty spot and came to a halt, someone swiftly grabbed me by the waist and shoved me into a black SUV parked nearby.

The movements were so smooth and practiced. If I hadn't seen Nicholas's dark face, I would have screamed for help.

Christopher had invited quite a number of guests, with luxury cars lining the parking lot. Oddly enough, the only open space happened to be right next to Nicholas's car. It was clear he had been waiting for me, patiently biding his time until I fell into his trap. We were far too close. Even a simple exchange of glances between us could be mistaken by anyone as a moment of deep connection.

It was so close as if we were trying to sear each other into memory, where a single glance could leave one's heart aching.

I sighed and shielded my eyes with my hand. "Can you get off me?"

Nicholas didn't move. Instead, he shut the car door behind us and seized my wrist. His gaze seemed to be blaming me.
