The Lovely Lotus

Chapter9

Eliza leaned closer to Nia, her fingers lightly trailing up Nia’s arm. The warmth of Nia’s skin sent a thrill through her, and she felt a surge of desire.

“You’re quite the temptation, Nia,” Eliza murmured.

Nia’s eyes twinkled with mischief. “And you’re quite the charmer, Captain.”

Eliza smiled, a playful glint in her eyes as she brushed a strand of Nia’s hair back. “I like to think I have my moments.”

Without breaking eye contact with Daxton, who was across the room, Eliza slowly leaned in and gently suckled on Nia’s breast through her sheer garments. Nia gasped, her head falling back in pleasure. Eliza’s hand fisted in Nia’s hair, lifting her mouth to hers in a passionate kiss.

Daxton watched the exchange, his heart pounding. He was seated next to Lydia, a petite brunette worker, but his attention was entirely on Eliza. She looked straight at him as she kissed Nia, her eyes filled with a challenge and an invitation.

Lydia noticed Daxton’s distraction and smiled knowingly. “You’re not really here with me, are you, Daxton?”

Daxton forced a smile. “I’m sorry, Lydia. It’s just… hard to focus.”

Lydia laughed softly. “Go to her. It’s clear where your mind is.”

Daxton nodded, his eyes never leaving Eliza. He watched as she rose, pulling Nia to her feet. Eliza gave him a subtle jerk of her head toward the stairs, signaling for him to follow discreetly.

Eliza stood, her hand firmly gripping Nia’s. “Come with me,” she whispered, her voice husky with desire.

Nia’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as Eliza led her toward the stairs. As they moved through the room, Eliza’s gaze remained locked on Daxton, silently urging him to follow.

They climbed the stairs, the noise of the brothel fading behind them. Eliza’s heart raced as they reached the top, knowing Daxton was close behind. She turned to Nia, her lips capturing Nia’s in a searing kiss, her hands roaming over Nia’s body, feeling the softness of her curves through the sheer fabric.

Daxton followed a few paces behind, trying to appear casual despite the burning need inside him. He watched as Eliza led Nia up the stairs, the intensity in Eliza’s eyes never wavering. He saw the way Eliza’s hands moved over Nia, how Nia melted into Eliza’s touch, and felt a surge of desire.

Reaching the top of the stairs, Daxton paused for a moment, watching the two women. Eliza turned her head slightly, her eyes meeting his, filled with invitation and promise. He stepped forward, his heart pounding, knowing this was a night that would change everything.
