My red hair flowed over my shoulders as I sat comfortably on the couch. Edward leaned back, watching me closely with those dangerously gorgeous blue eyes. "Are You're staring at me?” I mumbled feeling lightheaded from the 3-5 glasses of wine I had. "You are beautiful Vanessa." His voice sounded hoarse. The room felt warmer. Perhaps it was simply the booze. My heart rate accelerated as Edward laid his drink down and approached closer. "Oh Edward…" I whispered. The tip of his fingers touched my face, then made its way down to my lips. "Don't you feel this Nessa? Tell me." I swallowed hard. I felt it. Heat, desire, and anguish. He was pure temptation, sitting there in front of me. "I—" But before I could continue, his lips met mine. The kiss progressed slowly, feeling intense and deep. I curled my fingers in his dark hair as he drew me into his lap. With ease, I felt his hands gliding down my waist and clutching me like he had been waiting for this moment, for a while. I moaned softly, trying to regain awareness. I drew back and gasped. "I… I can't." Edward's jaw constricted."Why?" "Edward I’m not ready," my heart beating as I spoke. His blue eyes clouded. "You have signed a contract, Vanessa. "You promised to be my wife in every way." I narrowed my eyes. "And you said you weren't ready." I said to him. He inhaled hard as his hands tightened around my waist. ** Vanessa reunites with her college sweet heart and Ruthless playboy Billionaire, Edward Silver.
