Chapter 387: Exclusive
"What are you doing?" Isabella asked with a perplexed frown while attempting to extricate herself from Ian’s grasp which proved expectedly futile. The other man, sensing the sudden tension in the air, hastily scurried away.
With a mischievous glint in his eyes,Ian responded to her question with action as he spun her away expertly beforedeftly pulling her back in, against his body, his hand on the small of her back as he pulled her close as he asked her teasingly," What does it look like I’m doing, doll?"
"It looks like you’re stalking me! You promised not to disrupt my plans. Why are you here?" Isabella demanded, a mix of frustration and curiosity etched across her features. All evening she’d been trying to forget him and the way his touch lit her up, and here he was again, touching her again!
Ian chuckled, the low and melodious sound sending shivers down her spine. He’d chuckled like this when he’d been ’eating’ breakfast while treating her as the ’plate’ and she’d moaned every time his tongue slid against her skin... "It was a coincidence. I had a meeting with Seb," he explained, his voice carrying a casual nonchalance, distracting her from the images that were playing in her head.
"A meeting with Seb? Where is he then?" Isabella inquired, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.
"He just went home. I was about to leave too but then I spotted you."
Isabella frowned and narrowed her eyes," And you thought that you’d come and be the knight in shining armour? Save me from some random man?"
"Nah! I thought I’d ask a beautiful girl to dance with me. I’m pretty sure you can handle any man." Ian answered truthfully.
Isabella scowled, confused by his words. What did he mean she coudl handle any man? Was he talkign about her flirting with everyone? However, he knew that she did not have many lovers. So why would he taunt her... However, that was not the question she asked, instead pointing out," But you haven’t asked. You’ve simply grabbed me and you are not even dancing."
