Forbidden Heat R18

“My father…he thought he was going to die?” I asked rhetorically. This was the first clue I noticed from my father’s words. My father, he knew that he was going to die when he said those words…

“It was a possibility, yes,” Lucien replied as he nodded slowly, his lips pressed into a tight line.

“Why did he think he was going to die? How did my father die?” I asked in succession. There was so much that I wanted to know. At the back of my mind, I think I already knew the answer. My father probably didn’t die a natural death. Unfortunately, we’re probably not talking about a case of terminal cancer here…

“I can’t tell you right now. You can try Edward, but I doubt he’ll tell you anything…without a very high price,” Lucien answered with a soft laugh. These brothers hated each other but they knew each other very well, I’ll give them that.

At least Lucien did not pretend that he didn’t know. He just admitted upfront that he was not going to tell me right now. I wonder what conditions I had to meet for him to tell me…everything.

“So, what can you tell me?” I asked impatiently.

“Your father gave me that black envelop asking me to protect if it he passed away. Based on his request, I did not open the envelop until he passed away. When I opened the envelop, just like you just saw, I found that photograph inside,” Lucien paused, and it was clear that he was reflecting on his interactions with my late father.

“To be honest, I didn’t know up until that point that your father had a wife and a child…I guess no one knew. However, no matter how you look at it, that photo is a family photo. For your mother and your safety, your father probably didn’t tell a soul of his relationship with you both. However, he was very worried about you two that he asked me to take care of you should he pass away…” Lucien recounted the event from his perspective.

“What happened next?” I asked curiously.

“It took a while but finally, I found your mother and somehow I was able to convince her that your father had left her in my care. In the end, I was able to convince her to start working for me. The rest of the story you should already know. When she started to trust me more, she introduced me to you and then we started discussing our marriage of convenience,” Lucien quickly wrapped up his story.

Basically, Lucien supported us because my father, his mentor, asked him to do so. My mother, on the other hand, agreed to Lucien’s plans because she trusted in my father’s judgement to leave us with him. Is that really it?

I still had so many questions that I wanted to ask him but before I could form the words…

“Well, that’s more than enough for today. Let’s leave the past in the past for now, shall we?” Lucien said as he smiled back at me. It was evident that our talk was over for tonight.

I felt my brows knitting together as I pondered who out of these two extremely stubborn brothers that I could more easily extract information from. Lucien was more straight forward but inflexible and not so open to negotiations. Edward on the other hand was extremely tricky and unfair in his negotiations…

“Why are you scrunching your angelic face up like that?” Lucien asked amused.

“I was wondering who would be more cooperative with my investigation of the truth, you or Edward?” I replied with a sly grin.

“You still think using that card against me is going to work?” Lucien replied with a mocking question of his own.

“Well, you did say that it was a good move,” I replied.

Lucien started laughing after hearing my response. He slowly stood up from his seat and walked around the table towards me. Bending down, so that his face was directly in front of mine, his captivating green eyes watched my face and its reactions very closely. I didn’t know what he was looking for in my gaze as his gaze held mine and I refused to look away. Suddenly, Lucien broke our eye contact and leaned in even closer

“I told you that bringing up Edward was a good move, but I never said that it was a smart one…” Lucien whispered into my ear before his wet and hot tongue flicked along my earlobe. My body shuddered at the sensation.

“Lucien…” I whispered his name, surprised at the soft moan that accompanied his name.

His fingertips slowly traced the lines of my face causing me to close my eyes. He kissed my closed eyelids softly one after the other. Everything was tender and slow; however, the aggressiveness of his kiss when he crushed his seductive lips against mine was anything but tender.

His hot tongue firmly parted my lips and thrusted inside without hesitation. He devoured my tongue as he sucked and twirled his tongue around mine hungrily. My eyes snapped opened in shock to meet his green ones. He watched me while his tongue continued to mess up the inside of my mouth.

I knew it. Even though he contained himself quite well before, Lucien is pissed, and this kiss is just the start of his punishment.

I moaned in protest as I tried to break away from his invasive kiss. His large hand only held my face in place as he snatched my chin. I tried to push him away, but my arms felt weak, perhaps just like my will at that moment. Lucien continued to watch my reaction as I slowly melted and surrendered to his passionate kiss.

His large hand cupped my breast and massaged them quite roughly without breaking our kiss. I felt the lace of the dress rub against the sensitive and tender skin of my breast combined with the heat from his palm. I started moaning softly into his hot mouth and I swear he smiled a little as he continued to kiss me.

I felt my whole body heat up as the heat from his kiss and his palm spread throughout my body. My body felt weak, and a pleasurable ache was fast developing in my lower abdomen. Lucien rubbed and then squeezed my nipple, and I felt a hot wetness seep out in between my legs.

I was in a dazed state by the time he released my lips and tongue from his attack. I panted as my body slumped in the chair I was sitting on, my head rolling slightly to the side.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
