Tangled Love

CHAPTER 111

"Thank you," I breathe out, a giddy feeling rising in my chest. I notice Tobias standing a few feet away from us —

"It's a good party Tobias." I turn towards him, feeling Jake's hands wrap around my waist from behind me. He's standing so close, I can feel his intoxicating scent mix with mine and I have to focus hard to stop myself getting distracted.

"Thanks," he mutters quietly and I notice his gaze land on my hips where Jake's hands are settled. I shuffle uncomfortably and hear Jake clear his throat from behind me, causing Tobias' eyes to snap back up to meet my face.

His cheeks redden a little before he turns and continued his conversation with someone I don't recognise.

"All eyes are on you Muffin." Jake whispers in my ear from behind, his words sending goosebumps trailing from my neck down to my whole body. I turn and lace my arms around his neck before replying —

"I only want your eyes on me."

Jake grins widely before his hands started stroking my sides gently. I raise a brow at him but can't stop the way my body reacts from a simple touch. He leans forwards, his lips hovering dangerously close over mine.

"Let's go upstairs and forget the party. . . " his voice is husky and low and I feel myself grow warm at his words.

"But the party has just started. We can't leave now, everyone will know." I tease him, pecking his lips softly. My lipstick stains his lips and I lift my hand, gently wiping it away.

Jake watches me intently, dark eyes burning with a flame full of desire. I can feel his chest rising and falling against mine, his breathing becoming shallow. Jake always has the ability to make me feel like we're the only ones in the room despite it being full of people. When I'm around him, he's all I see.

"You're insanely beautiful, you know that?" Jake breathes out, blue eyes twinkling in my direction. I breathe in sharply, looking up at him from under my lashes.

"Really?"

"Hell yes," Jake mutters, pulling my body closer against his. He inches down, his lips pressing against mine in a hungry kiss. I kiss him back eagerly, my arms tightening around his neck.

Ivory clearing her throat beside me snaps me out of the trance Jake sucked me into. I pull back slowly, realising we're both still at the party with everyone watching us. A hot blush begins to crawl up the nape of my neck, spreading through to the tips of my ears.

"Sorry," I apologise sheepishly, attempting to put some distance between Jake and I. He doesn't seem phased by the sets of eyes staring at us. Instead of pulling back, I feel his arms wrap around me tightly, keeping me close. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"That is some serious PDA, break it up." Ivory grimaces jokingly.

"Shut up and walk." Jake hits back at her, reaching over to give her a playful punch in the arm. Ivory rolls her eyes before wondering back into crowds. I let out a small giggle, the blush on my cheeks still burning brightly. When I glance back up at Jake, he's watching me intently, blue eyes shining.

I could spend forever looking into his eyes.

"Should we dance?" I ask him, taking hold of his hand in mine. Jake smiles and nods as I led him straight to the middle of the dance floor, everyone parting a little to give us space. I begin moving to the

music, aware of Jake's presence right behind me. His hands rest on my hips and I smile, a warm feeling settling inside my chest. From behind, Jake places his head into the crook of my neck. Every few seconds, he'd place a soft kiss on the bare skin, just below my ear.

"Spend the night with me," Jake whispers, his voice a low rumble. I find myself nodding, biting down on my lower lip. The remaining hours of the party are spent with Jake directly by my side, whispering sweet words to me the entire night.
