Tony’s eyes twinkled with a smile, but Myra did not notice it. He took her phone from her and he sent a message to the chat group through her account.
Myra: ‘Sorry, but my weekend is for Myra. I can only return to the Hart Residence with her permission.” He closed the Messenger after sending the message. Then, he returned the cell phone to Myra.
“I haven’t checked what everybody else said,” she complained when she noticed that the Messenger had been closed.
Tony raised a brow at her and his eyes twinkled brightly. He kissed her forehead before meeting her gaze. “What is there to look at? It’s more than enough as long as you look at me.”
Does he even realize how shameless he sounds? Myra was rendered speechless by his reaction. He held her hand as they both made their way into the restaurant.
After the meal, Tony drove Myra to her condominium building. Upon arriving at her destination, Myra was about to exit the car, but she could not ignore the scorching gaze behind her. In the end, she turned to cup his face. She blushed deeply while swiftly pecking him on the corner of his lips. “Bye!” Then, she prepared to get out of the car, but Tony, who was just behind her, grabbed her right away.
“Is that all?” He cocked a brow at her. His expression softened significantly due to the faint smile. Gone was his usual intense and forceful aura around outsiders. His arm was around the side of Myra’s waist. His strength made her feel like he was pressing her against his body as hard as physically possible.
Myra was slightly annoyed that she had been seduced by his charms. He has enjoyed himself, so I have a feeling that I might not get away. She bit her lip while looking at him cautiously. “This afternoon, I helped you with…” She suddenly felt shy and exasperated when she said that. Her hands, which were originally tugging against the strap of her purse, suddenly started to burn.
Tony was astounded when he heard that, but Myra realized what she meant immediately. He squinted at her dangerously and his smile became mischievous. “What did you think I had in mind? Huh?” His breath felt hot against her ear toward the last part of his sentence. He noticed the fine hairs behind her ear quiver and he felt her body stiffened before relaxing again. His eyes twinkled with a smile and his gaze was like deep pools with its quiet ripples. A look from him was more than enough to draw a person into him irrevocably.
Myra felt that she had no resistance against him whatsoever whenever she faced him. Even the faintest smile on his lips gave her butterflies in her stomach. The next thing she knew, her giggle vanished amidst the shock in her gaze. Apart from the similar feeling from last night’s gentle and tenderness from his kiss, it felt as domineering as his nature. In fact, it felt almost rough.
He finally released her when she was on the verge of being breathless. He pressed his forehead against hers and he kissed her eyes. His voice was hoarse when he spoke again, “Quickly head up.”
“Huh?” Myra was still in a daze.
Tony stared at her innocent expression. She looks almost as dumb and adorable as the large, furry dog I have at home. After that, he pressed on her to enthusiastically kiss her for a while longer before letting her go.
Myra’s lips were red and swollen by the time he released her. Her eyes were watery and her cheeks were blushing in a pinkish hue. Tony’s eyes were slightly narrowed too and he warned her in a gravelly voice, “You won’t get to leave if you do not leave right now!”
She hastily exited the car, but he grabbed her hand again. Their fingers tightly intertwined together. Myra bit her lips while turning to face him. She gazed into Tony’s eyes that were brimming with his tender feelings for her. “I will pick you up tonight.”
