“This is the part where I kiss you, right?” Ivan asked, gazing lovingly into her eyes.“I guess,” Vera said with a smile, inching closer so their noses touched.“Closer,” Ivan whispered, his breath fanning her lips.“This close?” Vera asked, their lips just one move away from touching, Vera giggling like a teenager.“That close, amour, this close,” Ivan said his lips on hers.Vera gasped as his lips touched hers, completely dominating hers and taking her completely to another world.Their lips moved in sync, Vera held on tighter to him as she felt her legs go weak, they felt like jelly, and she leaned into him for more support.Vera felt his tongue nudge gently on her lower lips, seeking permission to invade. Her lips parted almost immediately, granting him entry into the warmth of her mouth.Vera felt her legs get even weaker, and she leaned more into him, giving him her entire body weight.A moan escaped from the depths of her throat, and a sigh followed.Ivan smiled into the kiss,

Chapter 114Artemis stormed angrily into her car, the guts of him. To think he could not have the decency or respect to wait until she was gone to invite his human.And she looked gorgeous even without much of an effort, she was gorgeous.Artemis sighed, her grip on the steering tightened, and she stared blankly at the windshield, lost in thought.Yes, she had promised Hermes to stay away and forget about Ivan and anything that had to do with him.But she could not help it, she smiled when an idea appeared in her mind. It would be quite difficult, but she knew she could do it if she was determined enough.Glancing one last time at the building, she zoomed off, not bothering to look back again.She went over the idea in her head again, it was not going to be easy to kidnap Vera, she seemed extremely smart.And Ivan went everywhere with her now, or at least knew where she was Every time.Artemis, nodded as she silently mapped out her plans in her head, it had to be discreet and quiet, s

Hermes got ready to leave, tidying his desk making final adjustments summarizing his work, and preparing to sneak out.He had not told Ivan yet, but he had found out about Sara's whereabouts, or rather Anna had found him and told him.He planned to surprise him with her presence after their meeting and of course when she felt ready enough to see him.Just as he got ready to go, his phone beeped with a notification. His face lit when he saw Anna's name but fell almost immediately when he read the content of the message.Sighing, he sat. He backed down, contemplating continuing his work or just waiting for them to text when they were done with whatever was holding them up.Anna had found him first after his attempt to talk to someone he knew which did not go as planned, he had recognized her almost immediately when she walked up to him and asked for a few minutes to talk.Hermes remembered being so happy that he did not have to do much, the opportunity had fallen right into his lap.The

Catherine rang the doorbell and waited patiently for Marilyn to come to the door. Marilyn came to the door and opened it, staring at Catherine in surprise.Catherine could understand why they had not seen each other I a few weeks, they had not even spoken, which was new to them. They were usually joined at the hips.“Marilyn,” Catherine called first, as she stared at her best friend.“Catherine,” Marilyn said weakly.She looked very pale, frail, and sick, and Catherine's eyes widened in horror. Pushing the door open, Catherine stepped into the house.The place looked trashed like it had not been cleaned for weeks.“What happened Marilyn?” Catherine asked. Concern and confusion laced in her voice.“Anderson has been missing.” Marilyn said with tears brimming the corners of her eyes. “, Well, I don't know if he is Missing, or he just ran away, but he has been nowhere to be found for the past few weeks” she finished “What?” Catherine asked, unable to believe her ears. “Yes, Catherine,”

Ivan looked focused as he finished the rest of the work for the day, it was already a few minutes past five, and he did not want Vera all alone in the house when it was dark.Putting some files away, Ivan picked up his jacket and key and headed for the door.The parking lot was almost empty, as the majority of his staff had already retired for the day.He stopped in his tracks as he felt eyes on him, turning to look around, he found no one in sight.Taking a brief look at the back seat of his car, he opened it, stepping inside, and calming himself down.Now he understood what Vera meant when she said she felt like she was being watched or followed.Someone was up to something, and he was going to get to the bottom of it all, he thought as he zoomed off.The evening traffic was hectic as people struggled to get back home, the hustle, and bustle of the surrounding streets made him feel less aware of the eyes that were following him.On second thoughts, Ivan stopped at a pizza place for
