Chapter 36
Before I could react, Enzo dragged Kyle away from me by his collar.
“A verbal thank you would be enough,” Enzo snapped, his face a little sullen.
Kyle laughed dryly and kept glancing upstairs; I immediately understood what he meant. Kyle had probably brought his date home, but he didn’t want Lilla and Enzo to know.
The most important thing to do now was to get Enzo and Lilla away. I focused on the unfinished red wine glass and pretended to head to the sofa to sit down.
But then… I turned my hell and hit the coffee table directly. The glass fell to the ground, spilling red wine all over my dress.
“Oh, dear!” I exclaimed.
Enzo walked over. “What’s wrong?”
I learned on him and gasped, “I knocked on the coffee table with my knee, and my skirt is ruined.”
“It’s okay, I have clean clothes in my room. You can wear mine for now,” Lilla said.
Just what I wanted.
But instead of following Lilla upstairs, I raised my head to look at Enzo and frowned. “I hit my leg, and it hurts. Could you carry me upstairs?”
Enzo narrowed his golden-brown eyes. Then a playful smile spread on his lips. “Sure.”
I think he knew I was faking it, but he seemed happy to play along.
I had to admit that I was a little embarrassed. Seeing – the faint smile in Enzo’s eyes, I bury my head into his chest and sneaked a hand out to gesture Kyle.
When we reached Lilla’s bedroom, Enzo put me down. “I’ll wait outside,” he said to me.
I hurriedly reached out to take his hand. “Wait, don’t go.” Enzo raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?” I swallowed nervously, not knowing what to say but blurting out in panic, “I can’t reach the zipper on my back. Can you help me?” My face must be burning red like fire right now. Lilla had just found a dress to fit me. A teasing smile appeared on her face when he heard that. God, what the heck was I saying? I really wanted to bite my tongue off. Enzo chuckled. “Okay, I’ll help you.” His eyebrows were raised, and my heart was pounding.
“I’ll be out then,” Lilla said, biting her lips as she ran out the door.
I had given Kyle enough time to whisk his date away, so I didn’t stop her. Now, the problem was on my side
I turned around awkwardly feeling Enzo’s icy fingertips touch the hollow of my neck.
He pulled the zipper down slowly, and my heart started to race wildly.
“All done,” Enzo whispered in my ear with both hands on my shoulder, standing close to me.
“O-okay. Thanks.” I swallowed. “You can wait outside now.”
I didn’t dare look Enzo in the eye, but I could feel his piercing gaze on me.
Then there came the sound of door closing. I took a deep breath before safely changing out of my clothes. Because of this incident, I felt guilty and didn’t meet Enzo’s eyes the entire way home. “Your face is red,” Enzo suddenly said.
“Really?” I turned to look at him as I tidied up my wind-blown hair and made an excuse,” Maybe the weather is too hot.”
Enzo had a smile on his face and didn’t expose me, instead turned up the AC in the car.
“It won’t be hot now.”
“Thanks.” I tightened my hold on the seatbelt.
Enzo pulled over to the side of the road after a turn.
I was startled by his actions. “What’s wrong?”
He unbuttoned the top of his shirt, his slender fingers still on the steering wheel. His throat bobbed up, then he looked at me and said, “I feel a little hot too.”
I didn’t understand. “Isn’t the AC on?”
“The AC can’t take away this heat.” With that said, he leaned closer to me and stopped inches away from me and whispered, “But you can.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Then, a big hand clasped the back of my head, as the strong scent of wine invaded my mouth.
Enzo was kissing me. He bit my lips and sucked repeatedly, then quickly slipping his tongue inside of my mouth.
The air around us heated up rapidly as our lips and tongue tangled.
I couldn’t help but warp my arms around Enzo’s neck and respond with more passion.
His hand slid down from my hair to my waist as he kneaded me gently. I was thankful that I was sitting in the passenger seat at this moment. Otherwise, I would have fallen to the ground with my trembling legs.
My mind is clouded as I hungrily took in his scent.
But suddenly.
Enzo trembled, and I even felt hair standing up on his skin at that moment,
He let me go, his eyes widen.
In an instant, his Alpha aura exploded inside the car, and I could hardly breathe. “W-what’s wrong?” I asked in a panic. Enzo immediately started the engine. “Something has happened!” He turned the car around and drove back to the villa. “What?”
“There’s Rogue attacks on the border,” Enzo said with a frown as he accelerated. “I’ll take you back.”
“What?” I was confused. He was driving so fast that the only thing I could do was to hold on tightly to my seatbelt. A large number of soldiers had already gathered at the gate of the villa when we arrived. Cindy stood in front of all the soldiers, clad in a green camouflage uniform with a dagger on her waist. They were all obviously prepared for war. Enzo got out of the car and strode up to Cindy. “Is everything ready?” he asked. Cindy nodded. “Let’s go!” Enzo yelled. I came back to my senses abruptly. They were going to battle! I grabbed Enzo’s arm. I didn’t know where my courage came from for a moment, but I said loudly to him, “I will go with you!” Enzo pried my hands off, a serious look on his face. “You can’t,” he told me. “You haven’t been trained, and you don’t belong on the battlefield. Wait for me to come back. Listen to me.” “But-”
“Enough. Don’t waste Alpha’s time, as well as everyone else’s. You won’t be of any help but only a burden,” Cindy interrupted me coldly. I froze, my expression shaken.
