Elise pushed the car door open and stepped out slowly. Her hair was tangled, her clothes wrinkled, and her legs trembled like they could give way at any moment. She held onto the door for support, trying to steady herself.
Lucien had done something she never expected. She had no idea his fingers would feel better than his tongue. The last time he has only placed it, but right now...
She didn't dare look back. She couldn't. Instead, she forced her feet to move and walked toward the mansion. Each step felt heavy, like her body didn't belong to her anymore.
Behind her, the car engine roared to life. It drove off, leaving silence in its wake. Elise let out a quiet breath, almost like relief as she stepped back into the mansion.
Little did she know, up on the balcony, hidden in the shadows, Kaila had been watching. She had seen Elise enter the car earlier. And she had waited… patiently… for more than ten minutes, just to see how she would come out.
Her lips curled in disgust.
