Chapter 17
Gadreel’s phone was ringing in the background, he heard it vibrating on the sink where he had dropped it, yet, he paid no attention to it.
Or rather, at this very moment, his brain considered the device unimportant
Trapped by the lips of a woman who he had only seen as nothing more than the sister of his childhood lover and an opportunist for the past five years, and now, was the source of this sudden and unexpected pleasure, Gadreel found the device not as important.
And thus, he continued to devour her lips, holding her head in place as his tongue explored her mouth, tasting and snoring the sweetness, asweetness he never knew existed.
A sweetness, unlike the taste of any other woman he has ever kissed.
And it was the very same sweetness that had him deepening the kiss and pulling Ivory closer, her soaked body coming in contact with his dry doe
A wet, hot and cold sensation that had his skin tingling and a strange desire welling in the pits
of his stomach
As Gatrel and Ivory were engaged in a passionate kiss, the sound of a phone continued to filter through the air, but once again, they paid no attention to it
Not until the vibration of the device had moved from the counter, and onto the floor, the impact making a note that alerted them both
Gatrel was the first to react
Pulling away frues the kiss, be glanced down tory. Her face was thushed and her eyes were hary, and he could feel her heart thumping against her chest.
His gane lingered on her, taking in every single detail of her appearance, before he released her and headed over to his phone
He bent down and picked it up. The call was from Evangeline and Gadreel’s expression quickly switched, becoming serious and void of the list and desire that had just been present.
He answered the phone and pressed it close to his ear
“Eva, is something the matter? His voice was steady and his expression, blank as he turned around and watched ivory. His eyes naked over her body, soaking in the curves for a few seconds before he was snapped back to his senses when Evangeline spoke
it’s nothing. I’m just a bit worried. I haven’t heard from you since you left the hospital
earber and-”
The rest of her words were interrupted by Ivory
“It’s so hot, Gadreel.” She spoke up, her voice low and husky, while she made a grabby hand.
motion.
Gadreel, without paying any attention to her, turned away.
“I’m a bit busy, Eva. Can we talk–7”
“Was that… Ivory?” Evangeline’s voice went from being soft to hard in a matter of seconds. Are you with her?”
“Yes, it was,” Gadreel was truthful. “But can we please discuss this some other time-”
“No,” Evangeline’s response was firm. “Tell me why are you with her? In fact, don’t, don’t tell me. Leave this very instant!” She demanded.
Gadreel hesitated for a few seconds before nodding his head. “Alright.”
He turned off his phone and tossed it on the counter. He then, turned around and was surprised to find that Ivory had approached him.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were glazed and her lips were swollen, all from the kiss.
Gadreel swallowed a lump in his throat and closed his eyes. When he reopened them, they were cold and expressionless.
“Let’s get you in the tub.” He suggested.
He didn’t want her anywhere near him, after all, the kiss had already crossed a line and he’d be damned before he’d allow such a mistake repeat itself.
Taking her by the shoulder, he lead her towards the tub, turned the cold water on and lead her
- in.
“Wait here.” He said.
He left the bathroom and entered the room, grabbing a spare change of clothes, hotel provided robes and returning back to the bathroom.
“Here, take this,” He placed the cloth beside the tub and headed for the door. “Don’t be stubborn and stay in until you get better, I’m leaving.”
“Wait,” Ivory called out and but Gadreel didn’t stop. Leaning against the tubs edge, she called out. “Ely!”
Gadreel’s steps were halted at the mention of familiar name. He turned around and met her gaze, eyes narrowed.
How…how did she know that name? The only person who was suppose to know that name was Evangeline. That was the name he recalled her calling him by during their teenage years.
It was a name he held dearly, because once, he had hated his name. Gadreel, that very name
belonged to the angel who had who led five str in the Garden of Eden), or better yet,
contributed to the downfall of mankind.
As such, he had always been teased and bullied for his name, especially during his Childhood days, but everything changed, the day Evangeling called him that name,
Ely, it brought forth a strange feeling, and although it had a feminine ring to it, Gadres couldn’t help but love it
And each time Evangeline called him that, he loved and cherished it.
But, how did ivory know about it?
His brows furrowed. “How do you know that name?” He walked towards the tub and repeated again. “I said, how do you know that name?”
Ivory rather than answering the question he had asked, reached out and took his hand. She brought it to her face and once again, nuzzled into his palm.
“Please Bly,” she began, “Don’t go. Don’t leave me ”
Godreed’s frown deepened as he looked down at her.
No matter what, he thought, he needed to leave. Evangeline had already said he needed to leave
But he couldn’t help but feel a familiar calling to that name and the way Ivory said it…
Shake it off, Gadreel; the voice at the back of his mind whispered, a voice he should have listened to, but the very moment Ivory called him again, the voice went completely silent.
“Ely” she said, gently pulling him down by the arm, only stopping when his face was a few inches from hers. “Please stay.”
Gadreel was speechless, fighting an inner battle he never knew Ivory could bring about.
He could easily reject her, walk out, and pretend this moment had never happened, but Instead, Gladreel found himself staying, eyes searching hers and face leaning clos
Their faces were but a hair’s length apart, lips fanning dangerously close to each other, when the sound of Gadreel’s phone cut through the air
Once again, he was snapped back to his senses and stepped away from the tub. Ivory whined and allowed half of her head sink underwater, while Gadreel accessed the text message he had
just received.
It was a video from Evangeline. As he watched it play out, he frowned.
“Gadreel, I know you’re still with that woman,” Evangeline’s voice carried a surprising amount of venom “It seems to me like you can not pick, so, I’ll help you.”
Without hesitation, she downed the content of a cup.
“Aphrodisiac,” She informed. “You have twenty minutes to show up before it takes effect. If
you
don’t show up, I’ll just find another man to live me.
The video ended there and Gadreel clenched his eyes shut.
God! Why were women always so impulsive? How could she drink….
He sighed, stopping his thoughts from running rampant. He couldn’t blame Evangeline. She was only doing what any sane woman who loved their man dearly, would do.
And partially, this was his fault. If only he had left when she said so, then things wouldn’t
have taken this turn.
Well, the past is the past. Now he needed to get to her. But Ivory-
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of water splashing on the floor. Turning around, he saw Ivory stepping out of the tub.
He walked towards her, wanting to get her back into the tub to cool off, but the moment he touched her, she smacked his hand away and glared at him.
“Get your filthy hands off me.” She snarled.
It took him only but a few seconds to realize that the effects of the drug had lessened, so much so that she could now think a bit clearly.
He watched as she walked out of the bathroom and went for her red coat.
Ivory shuffled around the pocket of her coat before she found her phone. Pulling it out, she
called Camilla.
The phone was answered immediately.
“Boss, where on earth are-”
“Find me two male escorts, Mila,” She demanded, holding the side of her head as it still throbbed. “Make sure they’ve been tested clean and send them to-
Before she could finish, the phone was pulled out of her hand. She spun around just in time to see Gadreel terminating the call.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing
“I should be the one asking you that,” He took a step forward and Ivory took one backwards.” What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
His voice remained low, but the dangerous glint in his eyes said it all.
Gulping, she stepped back all the more, making sure to maintain distance between them, before she forced a taunting smile on her lips.
“I see, you want an apology. My bad, I accidentally mistook you for my male escorts that are
yet to arrive. You can leave now, I’ll make sure to compensate you for the time wasted-”
“Ivory!” Gadreel snapped. In matter of seconds, he had made useless the distance she put between them and grabbed her wrist, pulling her close. “Don’t you dare dream of sleeping with other men when I am still your husband!”
Trying to get out of his hold, she sneered. “That would change very soon, so don’t try and interfere in my fucking decision. Whoever I fucks my business and none of yours and there’s nothing you can do about that.”
“Really now?” Gadreel’s lips twisted into a smirk, one Ivory didn’t like the sight of. “Should we see how true that notion of yours is?”
She didn’t know what happened, or how it happened, but suddenly, she was pushed down on the bed and Gadreel was above her, trapping her body under his and devouring her lips In
instant.
Ivory, initially caught by surprise, struggled. She attempted to push him off her, but he pinned both her hands above her head with one of his hand and held her chin with the other.

“Remember this, Ivory, I am the one who you begged and called out to, the one you wanted no less than five minutes ago, not those escorts.” He seethed, his lips brushing against hers.
“Let me go!” Ivory growled, trying to shake him off, but her efforts were fruitless. “Get off me, or else-”
“Or else what?” He challenged.
“Or else I’ll scream!”
Gadreel laughed, his laugh was a sinister one. It sent chills down Ivory’s spine and a frown to her lips.
“I would like to see you try,” he leaned closer and brushed his lips against hers, before whispering, “Ivory Odegaar.”
Once again, Gadreel’s lips claimed her, hungrier and more demanding this time, as if he was- trying to prove a point, as if he was trying to assert dominance.
Ivory struggled, but with both her hands and chin pinned in Gadreel’s favor, it was pointless.
Plus, she came to realize sooner or later, that all that struggling was creating a friction between her legs, where Gadreel’s tight was placed.
So all at once, she seized her struggles and suppressed the moan that threatened to spill past her lips.
As her struggles died down, Gadreel released her chin and his hand travelled down her tight.
Slowly, his fingers rode up her tight, massaging it and leaving a trail of heat and burning sensation wherever it was that he touched..
Upon getting to the inner side, Ivory unconsciously moaned, giving him access to explore the inner walls of her wet cavern.
He smirked and moved his fingers higher, but before they could get to their destination, a fist pounded against the door, each strike more frantic than the last. The hollow thud echoed through the presidential suit, disrupting Gadreel’s actions.
At first, he tried ignoring it, but after the second strike, he stopped and glared at the door with narrowed brows.
His gaze glared at the ivory, could this woman really dare to find a duck?!
Good, she’s a prostitute, not an illiterate one! She must have impressed her clients with her sexual skills, because he no longer has any illusions about her!
He immediately threw away the ivory and opened the door! Two strong men immediately appeared in front of him.
“Lady… we will serve you well.” The two men approached and immediately lifted up the ivory.
“It
Seems that the man in front of you is impotent, otherwise why would he be willing go of you, this treasure?” The two strong men laughed at Gadriel.
to let
“Don’t waste time, take me away!” Ivory commanded angrily.
But she felt a sharp gaze behind her. Stop fantasizing, Ivory closed her eyes and endured the pain of her body.
Even though she was naked, Gadriel still wouldn’t be tempted.
