Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 42 A Date Or Exploitation

To be honest, Essie had never imagined that her first date would be with Zac, let alone in the Ferris

wheel.

Listening to the relaxing music, looking down at the charming night scene below and enjoying a

romantic candlelight dinner, made her almost forget that this was not a real date.

Zac cut a piece of steak and fed it into her mouth.

"It's delicious!" She smiled brightly, and the dimples on her cheeks rippled under the candlelight. Her

eyes were filled with joy and innocence. Zac couldn't help but spoil her a little more. After eating dinner,

she looked at him with a playful smile and asked, "Zac, do you often use this trick to deceive women?"

He smiled beautifully and replied, "You are so silly and easy to please. I haven't met a woman as

foolish as you."

She wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue. "I won't be deceived by you. I have an excellent pair

of eyes."

He took a sip of champagne and said in a relaxed tone, "You know, no matter how smart or fast a rabbit

is, it can't escape a lion!" He grinned at her confidently.

'Not necessarily!' Essie thought to herself. An idea came to her mind. Her beautiful eyes sparkled like

stars falling into the lake.

With a sly smile, she stood up and approached him. He stared at her curiously and was shocked when

she sat on his lap seductively. Meeting his gaze, her forefinger touched his forehead lightly and swam

along his tall nose to his thin lips. Her feather touch sent shivers down his spine.

The night wind blew her dark hair and gently stroked his face. He quivered a little as if an electric shock

had run through him momentarily. Enchanted by her sweet smell, he could not help reaching out to

hold her.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

He stared at her beautiful face without blinking. His eyes seemed to be lit up by candlelight, burning,

with a strange and profound light.

In the light, there was only her shadow, as if there was only her in his world. The bright moon, the stars,

the beautiful scenery, and everything in the world were suddenly forgotten. Only the two of them

existed in that moment.

She smiled enchantingly as her finger continued to move down. It stopped on his solid chest, and

slowly drew circles. With her touch, his breathing became labored, his skin warmed up and his face

turned into a lovely shade of blush.

A victorious smile graced her face. She lowered her head slowly and blew in his ear. "See, even this

rabbit could catch a lion unaware!" When she had finished speaking, she stood up and turned around

to go back to her seat. Zac stretched out his long arm behind her and grabbed her little hand. "Is that

all?" He frowned slightly. His tone had told her that he seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

"What else do you want?"

"You know it!" He pulled her towards him and trapped her in an embrace.

She opened her mouth to protest but before she could say anything, Zac pressed his lips against her

mouth. He tried to move his lips a little and her body turned soft in his arms. If she wanted to play with

fire, she must be prepared to get burned.

Recovering from shock, she pushed him hard and beat him on the shoulder, but she could not get rid of

him. Like a fierce fire, he soon melted her into soft water. Dazed by the warm sensation of his mouth,

she lost her mind and fell into his arms dizzily. Unconsciously, she embraced him back and let him do

what he wanted with her.

When he let go of her, the Ferris wheel had stopped rotating. She blushed and hurried back to her seat.

She felt dizzy, as if she had drunk too much champagne and was a little drunk.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her with a smug expression on his face. "I thought you had

an excellent pair of eyes. Didn't you say earlier that you won't be deceived by me?"

Embarrassed and annoyed, she glared at him and said, "You broke the rule. You are not allowed to kiss

me."

"I was not the one who started it." He smiled evilly.

"Is there a difference?" She raised her eyebrows slightly. In her mind, regardless of who initiated,

kissing was not allowed.

"Of course there is." He suddenly leaned over with a sexy grin. This time, she reacted quickly and

kicked him hard at his calf.

He grunted in pain, "Don't get me wrong. I'm just providing you an example. The action I was about to

do just now was called kiss, and what I did before was called lovely kiss. So from now on, I promise I

will only give you lovely kisses."

Essie was dumbfounded. 'What is he saying?!' she screamed silently. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

When Zac was not treating her coldly, he was as agile as a whip. She could never win when a verbal

battle was drawing near.

Nonetheless, it was best for her to eat quickly and quietly. Otherwise, she might be too angry to vomit

blood.

Thus, she focused on eating and ignored him.

Getting out of the Ferris wheel, she kicked the small stones at her feet and muttered to herself, "This is

no longer a simulated relationship, but an exploitation. Someone is trying to take advantage of me by

playing dirty!"

He chuckled and raised his thick eyebrows. "You can also take advantage of me."

"Do you think I can take advantage of you?" She pouted.

"It depends on what you want." His tone was meaningful and inviting.

Her mind was deep in thought. Suddenly, a little starlight flew into her black eyes and lit up her dazed

brain.

Right, she shouldn't stay passive and allow others to exploit her. She had to fight for her place in a

relationship. Since this was a mock relationship, she would use Zac to accumulate experience. With

this, she would surely attain a dominant position in her future relationship.

"I will arrange the next date for us!" Essie announced excitedly.

"Okay." Zac smiled charmingly. "Well, I will wait and see."

Essie looked at him with a weird smile on her face.
