With a choked voice, Elissa spoke up, head lowered, a self-mocking smile on her lips.
âHonestly, Raphael, I saw it coming.
Youâll never shake off that woman.
â
After she finished, Raphael studied her intently before blurting out, âIs it because we never⦠you know?â
Elissa blushed.
âNo way!â
Flustered, she clarified herself, saying, âThatâs not what I meant!â
Hearing this, Raphael released her.
He tried to reach into his coat pocket for cigarettes but Elissa lay on itâ¦
So he glanced at her, his supposed fiancee.
They had a big date planned in May.
It was Elissaâs idea.
Raphael knew she was into him but he wasnât feeling it.
He just went along.
He scrutinized Elissa, lost in thought.
âI canât lie to you, Elissa! We could still call off the wedding.

He couldnât deceive her, not when he still pined for Olivia.
Elissaâs eyes welled up but she remained silent, inching closer to Raphael.

Suddenly, he wrapped an arm around her waist.
He got back to what he was doing but didnât undo her buttons.
Instead, his hand glided along her waistâ¦
Then it slipped under her skirt, helping her through the stockings.
Elissa had never been with any man or felt a touch like this before.
Her body quivered and a joyful moan escaped her lips.
Raphael knew she was into it.
Elissaâs face said it all.
In fact, he wasnât much experienced in this.
Olivia was the only woman he ever had.
After Olivia wedded Dylan, he met other women but never went all the way.
Just couldnât.
Now, Elissa was his future.
