Bella stared straight at Dev. She flipped her long black hair behind her back. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she slowly bit her lower lip, trying to stoke the desire of the handsome man sitting on the edge of the bed in the hotel room.
She took off her pink Adidas sneakers with purple stripes and slowly slid off her black leather jacket. Now, she was wearing only a black tank top and the distressed denim hot pants that wrapped around her lower body. The sexy shorts put her porcelain-white, long, and slender legs on full display. Her eyes remained locked on the man with the thick eyebrows and piercing gaze.
Dev stared at the incredibly alluring Bella before him. His heart pounded furiously. With every ounce of his strength, he fought back the desire that was slowly awakening under the seduction of the beautiful girl with the hooded eyes and long, curled eyelashes.
Then, her sensual performance escalated. Bella pulled her black tank top upward and slipped it completely off her body. Two beautiful mounds, covered only by a black bra, were now fully revealed to Dev, making him feel his pants growing tighter by the second.
Dev maintained a cold, unbothered expression on his face, even though inside, he was fighting a desperate battle against his urge to lunge at Bella and touch her beautiful body. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the woman who was now stripping away her clothes piece by piece.
Bella began sliding down her hot pants, showcasing a black g-string that beautifully framed her core. Then, her slender hands reached around to the clasp of the bra on her back.
Instantly, Dev stood up and approached Bella. He wrapped his arms around both sides of her body. His hands reached for the two hooks of the bra clasp that its owner had just undone, and fastened them right back together.
Their eyes locked.
"Put your clothes back on," the man said in his deep bass voice.
"Why? You don't want to see my body anymore?" the woman asked, disappointment clouding her voice.
"I never saw your body, and I don't do this with expensive girls like you."
Bella smiled. His words sounded like a compliment and instantly ignited her passion.
She wrapped her arms around Dev's neck and devoured the lips of the handsome, thick-browed man without permission.
Dev tried to break free from the embrace of the woman who had boldly initiated a kiss with him for the second time.
However, Bella was incredibly skilled at kissing. Dev could no longer suppress the desire that surged as their lips remained locked. He began to follow the play of Bella's tongue inside his mouth.
SLAM!!
The hotel room door was kicked open.
A tall man in a black suit with a cold gaze looked in their direction. The tall man immediately lowered his eyes, trying not to look at the nearly naked woman.
Both of them were caught completely off guard. The man in the suit swung a punch at the thick-browed man, sending him crashing backward to the floor. Bella screamed as she saw the man she had just been kissing hit the ground from the suit-wearing man's powerful blow.
"Kris! Why do you always have to ruin everything for me?!" the woman screamed at the man in the black suit, whose name was Kris.
Bella scrambled up and punched Kris right back. The two of them engaged in a chaotic brawl. It escalated until Bella grabbed a heavy ceramic flower vase from the corner table.
CRASH!!
Bella hurled the heavy vase right at Kris's head. Kris instantly collapsed onto the floor. Dev's eyes widened in sheer disbelief at the barbaric behavior of the woman who was still half-dressed.
Bella quickly threw her clothes back on and yanked Dev's hand, pulling him out of the hotel room. Spotting several men in black suits at the end of the hallway, she pivoted and bolted toward the emergency exit stairs.
The two of them flew down the stairs as fast as their legs could carry them, evading the suited men who kept hot on their heels. However, just as they reached the bottom floor, another group of men in suits blocked their path.
"Miss Bella, please stop running," one of the men in the black suits pleaded with the wild woman named Bella.
"Please, you have to help me get away. If you don't, you're going to be in trouble too!" Bella pleaded with Dev.
Suddenly, the men in black suits lunged at them. Dev dodged instinctively and began throwing punch after punch at the men. One by one, he successfully knocked them down, leaving them sprawling on the floor with bruised faces and bloody noses.
Dev grabbed Bella's hand and led her in a sprint toward the basement. He pulled out his keys and shoved them into the ignition of a red Ducati parked there. He threw his helmet on and helped Bella climb onto the passenger seat. Once Bella was securely seated, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, he gunned the throttle and tore out of the basement.
As they emerged from the basement, a few suited men tried to block them. However, Dev pinned the throttle even harder, and they successfully broke out of the hotel grounds.
Bella cheered.
"YES!! You are amazing, Dev!" Bella squealed with delight, thrilled to have escaped the men in black suits chasing them.
"Hold on tight. They're definitely still going to chase us," Dev said.
Bella tightened her grip around Dev's body. Dev accelerated his motorcycle to an even higher speed through the somewhat deserted night streets of Jakarta, heading toward the outskirts of the city.
After a while, Dev's motorcycle arrived at a multi-story building on the fringes of Jakarta. He parked his bike in the first-floor parking area. Bella stepped off the motorcycle and looked around. There were several other bikes parked on the first floor.
"Where are we?" Bella asked.
"My boarding house," Dev said as he began walking up the stairs. Bella followed closely behind him.
They kept climbing until they reached the fourth floor, the very top. Bella stepped onto the final landing and saw a spacious balcony. There were two chairs complete with a table that had an ashtray on top.
"Wow, I didn't expect this. It looked so sketchy downstairs, but up here has such a beautiful view," Bella said, struck by the scenery before her.
Dev sat down on one of the chairs on the balcony. He lit a cigarette and stared out into the distance at the glittering night lights of the capital.
"Who were those people chasing us?" Dev asked.
"My bodyguards," Bella replied, her eyes still fixed on the view in front of her. Dev didn't press further and took another drag of his cigarette.
"Is that your place?" Bella asked, pointing to a door on the right side.
"My room," Dev answered curtly.
Bella looked toward the space. It was indeed far too small to be called a house.
"Why? You want to finish what we started in my room?" Dev asked in a cold tone.
"Do you want to?" Bella asked, her face lighting up. Bella walked over to Dev, who was still preoccupied with his smoking.
"No. I already told you, I don't do this with girls like you," Dev said.
"What exactly is a girl 'like me'?"
"I only sleep with cheap girls."
Bella stared intently into Dev's eyes. She grabbed a handful of his hair, pulling gently so that his head tilted back and his eyes were forced to lock onto hers.
"I like you. You are the exact guy I've been looking for all this time," Bella said, before adding with absolute certainty, "Marry me, Dev."
Dev remained completely still, staring at the beautiful face in front of him.
"Dev, I want you to marry me."
