Later that evening, Asari flattered her fan-like lashes open. She felt her entire body system aching from who knows what. Feeling something tugging her waist, she lowered her head only to come into eye contact with a muscular arm.
She didn't need to ask who it belonged to but her eyes got the best of her as they roamed to the upper trunk of the male before her. Not until her eyes saw his face did they stop roaming. Glancing at the Greek figure so close to her, moreover, in an intimate position, a faint red color immediately painted her cheeks stretching to her ears.
'How can one be so enviously beautiful even when asleep, it's so unfair!' Asari thought inwardly not realising the slight pout formed on her cherry-red lips.
Although, still in doubt about whether to trust Renzo or not, she was drowned in his beauty at that moment. It was something different and deeper than what she felt while she used to be with her ex-fiance.
Renzo's white hair strands cascaded down his forehead, covering part of his closed eyes. He had this proud nose that spoke of nobleness. His thin lips formed a line that emphasized his solemnity: However, gazing at him like this, he looked like a dark angel at rest.
Asari's hands itched to touch him but how could her sanity allow that? With slow movements, she gently removed the hand on her waist and sat up on the bed. Gazing at the window, Asari saw the almost dimming sun and exited the bed.
Before her feet could touch the ground, her body suddenly leaned backward and in the next few seconds, she was back in bed. Head on the bed with a huge body towering on top of her, she felt cornered.
"Where are you going?" came the deep husky voice of Renzo.
"I- It felt so stuffy so I wanted to have some fresh air," she babbled.
"Do you remember what you did in the morning?" Renzo implored, casting her a lustful gaze.
Now that he brought it up, her eyes widened as she asked back, "What happened?"
Renzo, "..."
He didn't know whether she was pretending or just playing dumb: however, he saw genuine confusion and shock in her eyes and decided to shove the idea aside.
Getting up from their compromised position, he murmured, "Nothing. Never mind. Just be prepared, you'll be accompanying me to a banquet, tonight."
When the moon slowly began to rise, Asari wore a long black sleeveless dress with a red lining sewed within and one could see it between the two black layers of the dress.
The dress hugged her mounds exposing her shoulders and the clavicles. Minutes later, Asari elegantly descended the staircases with her long jet-black hair bouncing down her shoulders as she did.
Renzo who'd worn a black leather coat that stretched down his Greek figure ending at the knees, turned his head to the scent of flowers dipped in honey. That's how she smelled to him. Under his scrutiny which turned lustful, Asari couldn't help but tremble a little.
After what seemed like an eternity, Asari stood before Renzo, and like a hypnotized victim, he got lost in her beauty and those dark brown eyes that he still recalled.
"You look beautiful tonight," Renzo complimented.
Asari simply nodded and mouthed a thank you at him. Presenting his arm to her, Asari gently hooked up her arm with his as the two slowly exited the large castle. Once outside, the two entered a black vintage where they sat in the back seat with a driver in the pilot seat.
Soon the car smoothly voyaged toward the bustling ancient city of Legalese. Their journey lasted for an incense stick as the car slowly entered a magnificent mansion, larger than Renzo's.
The exterior had massive pine trees fencing the large courtyard and a garden of flowers rested on one side of the mansion. Although it was the only garden, it was outstanding. A grand staircase made of linoleum rested at the entrance to the mansion and a group of guests dressed in their best fabrics were seen entering the mansion. Having disembarked the vehicle, the Asari Renzo. couple sauntered towards the large building.
Suddenly, Renzo halted in his footsteps, forcing Asari to do the same. Confusion marred her delicate features but before she could ask, she felt a cloth cover her eyes.
Though the action wasn't intimate, it was enough to send shivers down her spine. When Renzo stood behind her to cover her eyes, she felt his breath tickle her naked nape.
The unprecedented desires within her rose but with her mind fully clear, she managed to control the turmoil. Just when she thought she was safe, Renzo edged closer to her and brushed past her hair nape to her ear, and whispered, "What are you thinking about? Focus!"
'Is he doing it deliberately? He must be,' Asari thought to herself and hooked her arm with Renzo's as if it was natural.
A few strides later, the two made an entrance into the huge mansion. It hit Asari's head as she realized that they were the only couple dressed in black in other words they became a couple of abysses
In her past life, she'd attended so many banquets however, there seemed to be something peculiar about this banquet. The people inside didn't look to be normal humans though they had the appearance of normal humans.
A strange feeling rose in her heart which she'd never felt before. This felt like she wanted to kill, kill everyone in the bank t, and for a moment she didn't realize how hard she'd exerted so much pressure on the arm holding Renzo.
On the other hand, Renzo felt her strange reaction and thought maybe she was scared. He gently tapped her arm in the reassurance that everything would be fine but the arm gripping him didn't even ease a little.
Lowering his face to look at her, he was shocked! Shocked by her solemn expressions that were at the same time cold as an icicle. But why? Why was she reacting like this? The two had halted just in the middle of the banquet hall where the crowd got a full view of them.
