Chapter 22: A Deal
From the door that led into the restroom within the restaurant, Herla walked out, a big smile on her face. Patro had brought her to this fancy restaurant so they could have dinner. She wasn’t sure why, but it made her happy nonetheless.
She was having things Eve never got to have with this man.
The smile on her face enlarged and she bounced off towards Patro, coming to a stop at the way he stood as still as a statue.
What was wrong with him?
She followed his line of sight and the very second her gaze dropped on Malakai who had Eve against him, kissing her like he couldn’t get enough, her smile slowly faded.
Suddenly, her throat felt dry as if she hadn’t had water in days and she looked back at Patro. The look on his face was chilling, eerie in its form. The aura surrounding him was more than just murderous.
Why? It wasn’t like he cared about Eve. Why was he so bothered to see what was unfolding before them?
Malakai’s hand dropped to Eve’s neck where he proceeded to rub against the mating mark that had almost fully faded. He pulled back from the kiss and Eve slowly peeled her eyes open, chest rising and falling with rapid breathing.
Her entire face to her ears was a tint of red that she couldn’t hide. She couldn’t look Malakai in the eyes, her gaze darting to the floor.
"Shall we?" Malakai hunched a bit to look at her face, lips painted with a smile.
She batted her lashes at him and frantically nodded.
The man grabbed her hand and they turned to begin walking towards Patro who stood peering at the both of them.
