Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455: Needy

Athena welcomed Antonio’s lips when he grabbed her in the parking lot, pulling her into the darker corners devoid of light and cameras. Her back met the cool wall, and she gasped softly as his body pressed against hers.

"Antonio..." she whined when he let her breathe, her voice trembling, before he closed the gap again—one hand holding her waist possessively, the other roaming the contours of her back with hunger.

"Let’s hurry to my place..." his voice was feverish, need consuming him.

Athena shook her head weakly, her palms flattening against his chest as she stepped back a little, eyes wide, lips trembling. "I need to go home... need to make some arrangements and return to the lab."

Did he want to consume her? she wondered, ruffling her hair gently, trying to calm the wild beat of her heart. She hadn’t been expecting to be grabbed and kissed so voraciously.

She could feel the heat coming from him, the same heat that had made his tongue ransack her mouth—and she knew she had to flee, or else she would have to stand Ewan up again. And she couldn’t, not when she was curious enough to try his cooking.

"Can’t you go tomorrow morning, Athena? Please..." Antonio’s voice dropped, almost pleading.

Athena shook her head, more firmly this time, eyes soft but resolute. "I have to work on the vaccines. Please, understand..."

Antonio did understand, but his body was too hot, too needy. His jaw clenched as he tried to rein himself in. "Thirty minutes then... then I will drop you off at the lab."

"You know that won’t be possible. That’s like playing card games with fate. I have to go. You will drop me at home first though..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Why..." Antonio kept talking, his words tumbling out as he tried to quell the restless energy boiling within him. "Now that I think of it, I don’t even know where that is located—your new lab."

"That’s alright. It’s a mess at the moment," Athena replied, tucking a stray lock behind her ear. "I will take you to it when this mess with the Grey is over. I don’t want you getting contaminated... or allergies."

Antonio snorted softly, frustration flashing across his features. "I am strong... but all the same..." He paused, released a low curse under his breath. "You are driving me crazy, Athena."

And then, with one swift pull, he drew her into his arms again and kissed her breathless.

"I don’t know how much longer I can wait..." he murmured against her lips, his thumb rubbing her cheek gently when they came up for air.

"It won’t be too long," Athena muttered, breath steadying, relieved when he finally stepped aside. He was still holding her hand as they walked toward his car.

"When will I see you again—privately..." he asked moments later, when he pulled up at the Thornes mansion.

"Maybe we can move away on the night of the engagement... spend quality time together," Athena suggested, winking teasingly. "She should be discharged by Friday... so if there’s a break in the madness... maybe the weekend."

It wasn’t enough to calm the fire in Antonio, but it was something. He could wait. He leaned in, kissed her again—this time a chaste one, a goodbye—and patted her lips softly.

"I love you."

But she couldn’t say it back. Her throat tightened. She swallowed instead and stared back at him—and so she saw when the hurt flashed across his eyes.

Holding back a sigh, she reached forward and kissed him—something for the night—and wished him well. When she stepped down from the car and walked through the gates, she didn’t look back.

Why couldn’t she say it? Athena queried herself as she sauntered into the living room of her grandfather’s house, heels clicking softly against the marble floor. She stood erect, carrying the packages in her hands, pausing when she noted Ewan helping Kendra and Kathleen with their assignment, while Nathaniel played quietly with a small Lego set. He must have been done with his own work.

What had the girls been doing then?
