PROLOGUE
"Do you know who I am?"
He leaned closer, his hot breath fanned my face, his lips then moved to the sensitive flesh under my ears with palpable eagerness while he watched tremble under his seduction.
I sucked in a breath when he bit the skin under my ears sending shivers down my spine. His hot melting gaze was enough to transform my throat into an arid land as dry as Sahara Desert.
"Y-yes. Who wouldn't know you?" I respond heating up hoping at the same time he would not notice the growing anticipation concealed behind my impassive mask.
As if under a trance, my heavy eyelids fluttered close. It was three in the morning and my whole body ached from our tireless passionate lovemaking and it was now screaming to have rest. An hour of sleep would be a good idea but being a captive of this man, as cold hot blooded as he, made the thought seem impossible.
"Good." I felt the warmth of his lips stretch into a smile. I sighed with relief as he lapsed into silence. Thank God! I mumbled inwardly as I drifted into the magical portals of dreamland.
"Do you like me then?" He whispered seductively as his hands slither under the sheets where my naked body reside, his fingers left no part of my nakedness unexplored.
My eyes snapped wide open, the last remnant of sleep fled and I became totally awake as if I've been splashed with icy cold water in the face.
The sudden question rendered me speechless for a while. Like him? Goodness NO! The Eros the panty ripper was not my dream guy! He was a good girl's worst nightmare.
"No!" I shot him an icy look when I finally recovered. "I will never like you." Horrified, I tap his fingers that invaded the triangle in between my legs.
"Even better." He replied to my dislike, he seemed to be overjoyed for a man who've just been told he's unlikable.
He rolled on the top of me after he flung the blanket that covered my nakedness and replaced it with the weight of his feverish body.
"Marry me then."
Holy Moly! The country's playboy offered marriage? He must have lost all his mind from the alcohol he consumed. He seems so high, I wonder what kind of forbidden drugs he had taken.
"No, I will never marry you." The mention of marriage shocked me to the core. I pushed him hard but my struggles was futile. My flailing hands was captured by an iron clutch. The last thing I knew my hands are pinned to my head by his strong arms.
My treacherous body became even hotter as his gaze lingered on my skin. The intimate position we're entangled in bed made my whole body burned with desire.
"Marry me." He repeated with a dangerous glint upon his exquisite grey eyes. The magical words I dreamed of hearing sounded like a death threat coming from his mouth. When his lips curved into a frosty smile, right at the moment I realized I'm destined to be doomed.
Knowing his sinful escapades, marriage was the last thing I was expecting to hear from Eros Abraham's lips that charmed a hundred girls to their doom. He was the mega playboy I told my self to steer clear off. However, this unfortunate night snared me into entering this dangerous territory.
The playboy billionaire's name was number one on my blacklist. I vowed never to marry the man labelled as the 'panty ripper' but it seems I was about to swallow my words.
"No! I will never marry you." The decision to never marry him was final as I fought his unblinking gaze.
"I'm afraid you have no choice honey." His lips curved into a chilling smile, cold enough to frost the burning hell of underworld. "We did not use protection, too late to say No."
His arms loosened it's hold and I pushed him away rather forcefully with the last of my strength. Fear engulfed my body and it was now clutching my throat making me gasp for air.
Dear Lord, what have I done? I did not recall signing up to this complicated relationship. One drunken moment will changed the rest of my life.
I buried my deep into the pillow with warm tears swarming down my cheeks. His fingers gently caressed my back in an attempt to calm me down but his tender gesture provided no consolation.
The memories of what exactly happened flooded into my memory reminding me that it was entirely my fault.... I was left no choice but to agree with his proposal after my forbidden entry with in the devil's territory.
