Deal with the devil

Chapter 23- Belladonna

Kiara POV:

I heard Celeste's door slam shut.

What was happening?

I turn to go check up her but was soon stopped by a pair of hands blocking the doorway.

"What do you want Raffe" I groan and roll my eyes.

He stood leaning his head on the door frame and his arms crossed.

God he looked good.

"Shouldn't you be dressed by now?" He looked at me and examined my body.

I realised I was only in a towel and my hair was dripping from the shower I had.

His eyes scanned me then stopped at my lips.

He stared for a couple of seconds then moved to my eyes.

"Maybe if you moved out of my way, I could get ready" I try pushing past him.

"Now where's the fun in that?" The corners of his lips turned upwards and he smirked.

I turn around and start rummaging for clothes.

"Of course I can always help you get ready" his deep voice filled the room and he stepped closer to me.

"I don't need your help" I still look through the draws hoping to find a dress.

He steps even closer behind me and his breath is hitched to my neck.

"Just because you don't need my help doesn't mean you don't want it" he was practically on me.

He was so close. His breath grazing my skin.

I turn swiftly trying to get rid of the tension.

But it only adds to it.

I face him and his eyes are locked to my lips.

He leans in closer not even an inch away from my mouth.

I lean in.

Then I pulled away.

He closes his eyes in defeat.

"I've got you a dress" he steps back and pulls out material from behind his back.

He hands me it and leaves.

Fuck.

I quickly put the dress on.

It a shade of royal blue and black and it flows down my body.

It was beautiful.

I quickly spray some perfume then head to the door.

——————————————

Raffe opened the Range Rover door for me then shut it hard.

I almost felt bad. But for what? Not kissing him?

I shrug the thought away and turn to Celeste.

The whole ride she was quiet and didn't say a single word.

I put my hand over hers and asked "are you ok"

She nodded but didn't change her gaze from the window.

The ride was completely silent until we finally reached the Belladonna.

God I love their food.

We sat down on a table full of people from our last board meeting.

Except there was one more person.
