MARRIAGE TRAP
ANNOYED
The air between them was stinging, and Lyra was confined within, unable to move. Romy is able to attack his fragile self-control, the man's disturbing sensuality is a very powerful force to trap all of Lyra's emotions and make her unable to think rationally.
There was only Romy and an unexpected passion.
"Come to bed" said Romy softly. "It's late, and we both have to sleep."
Sleep on! The man could arouse Lyra with a gaze that promised many things, then calmly proposed that they sleep!
She's gotta be kidding me?
But Romy only pulled Lyra closer as the brand lay under the blanket, put out the lights, stressed her still lips, and within a few minutes Romy's breathing became regular, her heartbeat pulsing softly, and the man also fell asleep.
How'd he do that?

The official dress in this event means dressing up neatly, Lyra thought resignedly. She realized that she was about to reach the final selection of her evening gown collection, when choosing a red dress of silk and chiffon material with a crimped corset that is held up by a thin rope and a skirt that falls from the waist to the soles of her feet. The only jewelry was matching earrings that were a gift from her parents on her 21st birthday.
The fundraising auction was only for the elite in the city who were invited, given the large number of guests crowded the area outside the multipurpose room of the hotel.
Tonight's charity event is to help children affected by leukemia, while its own auction is over a selection of antique furniture and high-value art objects.
Various objects, recorded in the catalog along with their estimated value, are displayed in the colored glossy map given to each guest at the entrance.
The waiters circled the sitting room offering trays full of drinks, while the maids brought dishes containing various kinds of food to taste.
Each guest is given one hour to research the items on display, with permission to look at the map first.
Efficient planning is key, Lyra thought as she went around every object beside Romy.
"You found something you like?"
The estimated price for the table was very expensive. It was too expensive to buy a salary as a teacher, and he refused to ask Romy to buy it for him.
"Alex take a look at this."
The stallion? The seductive low voice was the only one, and Lyra felt her heart plunge as the couple joined them.
They kiss each other without touching the cheek, and Mayang's fingers with perfectly polished nails trace Romy's arm a little too long.
"It just so happens to meet the two of you here" Alex said slowly, although Lyra doubted the coincidence had anything to do with it, apart from Mayang and Alex being part of the top guests.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" Mayang observed, pointing at the writing table. "I want it."
Furthermore, it is clear that Mayang has his goal, to test his wooing skills on Romy.
And great, the man didn't respond. Moments later Mayang put his hand on the collar of Romy's suit and played around by tracing the seams. The hand that Romy deliberately put away.
Ten minutes passed, and Lyra decided she didn't need to stay by Romy's side and watch the game Mayang wanted to play in public.
"Excuse me," said Lyra sweetly. "I'm gonna go look at some stuff."
He returned Romy's careful gaze calmly and looked at Mayang while saying casually, "Have a good time." A message that has many meanings, if any. God, does that model think Lyra's blind?
"I'll come with you" said Romy slickly and embracing Lyra's death. "I'll excuse you."
Pretending to show togetherness?
