Chapter 79 Temptation and Tension Adriana followed closely behind Curtis , obediently keeping pace . Before entering the elevator , Curtis glanced at Adriana . Her head was bowed , eyes unfocused , lost in thought . " What are you thinking about ? " Curtis asked softly . Finished " This bracelet ... could I swap it for a fake one ? " Adriana whispered , trying to be cautious . " Just to be safe . " Curtis chuckled . " If it breaks , we'll get another one . The Lincolns have plenty of jewelry in their collection . " Adriana looked at Curtis but couldn't find it in herself to smile .

She muttered under her breath , " This is no different than having a knife at my throat . " " You won't have to pay if it breaks . " Curtis reached out and took Adriana's hand , guiding her back toward their room . As they stepped out of the elevator , they bumped into Matthew and Natasha . Coincidentally , they were staying in the same hotel , on the same floor in the VIP section , and ... in adjacent rooms . Natasha's face darkened the instant she saw Adriana and Curtis . By reflex , she looped her arm through Matthew's .

Curtis waved cheerfully at Matthew , swiped his room card , and led Adriana inside . No sooner had they crossed the threshold than Curtis pressed Adriana against the door and kissed her . Adriana froze , staring at him , not quite processing what was happening before he scooped her up in a bear hug . " Ah ! " Weightless and startled , Adriana cried out as the back of her head bumped the door . Her heart was racing . Thinking Matthew and Natasha might still be in the hallway , she instinctively raised a hand to cover her mouth .

Curtis , seemingly mischievous on purpose , bit down gently on her collarbone . It didn't hurt , but it tickled , and Adriana bit back any sound , forcing Curtis to keep teasing her . " Ah ... " This time it actually hurt , and Adriana's eyes Aurned red as she looked at Curtis . " Curtis ... stop , " In the hallway , Matthew stood frozen , holding his room card . His gaze seemed to crystallize into ice . The card was crushed in his hand , snapped clean in two . Natasha's chest heaved with anger , jealousy flaring as she glared at Curtis's hotel room .

If she can please you in bed , she can please anyone - as long as someone's willing to pay.

" Natasha was fuming , holding the broken card uselessly . The door wouldn't open , so all she could do was listen to the noises coming from Curtis's room . She knew the hotel had excellent soundproofing , yet Curtis seemed intent on teasing Adriana right by the door . Even with the seal on the door , the smallest crack carried sounds through . " Curtis ! Curtis ... stop ... Behind the door , Curtis continued his playful torment of Adriana . If she didn't speak up , he'd make her . Matthew could no longer contain himself .
