Evershining Stars, Everlasting Love novel Chapter 12

“Wha...what?” I smoothed my hair with fingers and tucked it behind ears, eyes moving uneasily. And when I looked up, I was yanked by Vince, my whole body falling into his arms.

With my heart racing, I didn’t struggle and looked at him with a flushed face.

“Let's review it once again?” Before I understood his words, Vince gave me a quick kiss, pressing his thin lips onto mine tightly.

Having been freed from the bond of marriage, I didn’t have to look at his handsome face under the cover of darkness. I was shocked by his smooth skin from which I failed to find any pore even in such a short distance.

His kiss was tender and nice with which I indulged myself. His warm breath fanned over my face. Seeing that I had no intention of refusal, he pushed my tongue inside to twist with mine, sliding his hands around my waist to pull me close, holding me tightly, his breath getting heavy and noisy.

Maybe I really had suffered too much empty and loneliness during the past three years, I couldn’t help but embrace him and welcome him at this moment. Suddenly, he stopped, looked down at my slightly unfocused eyes, then asked, “Do you want me?”

I lowered my gaze when he questioned me. I was too embarrassed to answer such a question. Bending down, he scooped me in his arms and carried me into the bedroom. In a sudden panic, I looped my arms tightly around his neck.

I didn’t know how many times I wanted him in the new room that day. I was freed and I seemed to be obsessed with this kind of life. Going to bed with Vince was so great and I really liked the scent of Vince.

He came almost every night and left early in the morning. Even if he failed to come sometimes, he would phone me. I also tried to look for a job after he left. I came to several companies but no one was what I wanted.

As a model, I could clearly feel interviewers’ prejudice from their eyes. I knew they just wanted me to be an eye-candy who sat at the front desk, made tea and coffee for them, and flirted me when they had free time.

I didn’t want to work in a company like that. I was always an ambitious and arrogant woman even I once married Jerry and it’s hard to change my character.

I really had no idea what kind of job I wanted but I really didn’t want to rely on Vince. It would make me feel that I just liked a bird caged from one birdcage to another. This kind of captive life would make men bored while making women numb and eventually caused a miserable life.

A new day, I waked up very early. I looked sideways at Vince. He was still sleeping soundly. As usual, I touched his face from his forehead down to the tip of his nose, then to his thin lips. My forefinger lingered on his lips for a few seconds, then I pulled myself up and kissed his lips.

Unexpectedly, Vince opened his eyes and looked straight at me.
