Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 52

Though Miranda's gaze lacked any trace of desire as she contemplated his body, it still managed to set Elian ablaze.

He was a man, after all, a man in his prime, so he knew exactly what kind of heat was coursing through him.

And he could tell, without a doubt, that Miranda's look held a certain satisfaction with what she saw. It wasn't the first time, either. That unabashed, appraising stare she reserved just for him... he found himself oddly enjoying it.

Unlike other women whose stares made his skin crawl, Miranda was the only one who looked at him so openly, so boldly.

Elian's voice was like a siren's call, teasing Miranda right down to her very bones. Her eyes roamed even more openly over him; if looks could satisfy one’s desire, hers would be reaching to the climax.

"You..." her gaze deliberately lingered on his belt buckle.

Elian raised an eyebrow, waiting for her next words.

"Wish," Miranda said with a hint of disdain.

Elian's expression froze, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he enunciated her name. "Miranda."

To Miranda, Elian seemed like a puppy she had just playfully kicked, barking indignantly at her.

Miranda tugged her lips.

Meanwhile, Sebastian observed the pair from where he was mingling with the crowd. Seeing them engrossed in conversation, a chill flickered behind his glasses.
