The Grand Mistress

Simione almost couldn't rebut Hawk's words as her insides were twisting, especially when just then, Hawk's fingers slid through her waist, touching her so intimately. 

However, she charged all she could to push all the feelings aside. Wanting to keep her posture and pride, she chuckled sarcastically. "So you are trying to say rushing a wedding is just a backwash of your rejection?"

Hawk only smirked at this and dragged his face closer to Simione to brush his lips on her cheeks, occasionally putting feather-like kisses on it. He was inhaling her scent which ran so refreshingly addicting in his nostrils. Then he grabbed her waist hard and pressed her to him, feeling all her warmth which he had been dying to have ever since he woke up in the hospital without her.

Truth was, he wasn't really confident that Simione was going to show up because he thought she had been busy taking care of her ,fresh from coma, pretend husband. When he woke up without her, he felt so resentful of her knowing that even at the verge of death, she still chose to run after another man than stay by his side. It left him broken and insecure but now that she was here—all those negative feelings died off suddenly and what's left was all his longings for her.

"Ugh..you are like a woman throwing a tantrum," Simione added when she couldn't bear anymore Hawk's little movements that were clearly meant to seduce her.

"Except that you know yourself I'm not a woman," Hawk replied and immediately slid the hands he used to caress Simione's face earlier down to the slit of her dress, owning her silky long legs. The girl gasped at the unannounced intrusion! 

"I have no questions about your sexuality," Simione admitted. "I was just saying that your wedding—"

Everything that Simione had to say had been cut off by a ravenous kiss. Hawk couldn't just take it anymore. He actually planned to do more sensible things than rushing to get intimate with her but what can he do? His body was craving her far too much already, so was his lips, his needs clearly cannot anymore be held.

And so, he owned her lips and forced his tongue right inside her mouth. Suddenly a rush of sensual heat crushed Simione's body and in a minute, she was already answering Hawk's kisses. So eager, Simione even pushed Hawk back inside his box and the two continued such a forbidden kiss, forgetting the fact that a sea of audiences was just below Hawk's theater box and it would only take a head turn for someone to see them. Luckily right then, everyone was focused on the performance on stage and so nobody really cared to look at what was happening to Hawk Monsanto then. 

***

The audience's eyes were well glued to the center, Feather just appeared and she faithfully did her routines without mistakes. This was one of her most anticipated performances and knowing that some international media personnel were there to witness her tonight, she made sure she was very precise on stage. 

She had a vast audience tonight especially when her management decided to have discounts for her tickets as a gift to the fans in celebration of her upcoming wedding. Therefore, the whote theater was so flooded with guests that the ballerina could even see some people standing on the far end. Her management had already expected this, so they prepared a huge canvass just on the top of the stage giving the people from the far back a chance to see clearly what's happening on the front rows. Knowing that she'll always be the focus of the camera, she acted and danced with all her best tonight.

The show was really going well, Feather was then smiling gracefully specially that the tempo had turned lively. While she was dancing, she was reminded of Hawk and decided to look at him only to find the man was at his back as if he was talking to someone in one corner. Feather's face immediately contorted a suspicious grimace which she brushed off right away knowing that it might affect her performance.

Instead, she acted fine and continued her routine ignoring the fact that Hawk again wasn't giving her attention and was hoping that no one will notice him being occupied with something else. 

The thing is— Hawk's theater box was situated on the very front row, just above the regular seats and it was an open space. Anyone who would like to take a glimpse of him should only raise their head to his box and would be able to see him. 

What was he doing by the way and why does he have to do it now?

Didn't he tell her he'll have this night spent only for her? 

Looking at him now, he was clearly preoccupied with something else. Perhaps he did forget again this concert was for him because clearly he was not so appreciative with it.

Feather just danced as if nothing was happening but since she was too damned curious as to what Hawk was doing, she tried to take a glimpse of him again until the view of another person came to her sight. 

It was a woman, wearing a halter dress and——are they kissing?

The realization gave Feather a large blow that immediately, she lost out of focus and lost her balance. She stumbled and fell after that, right in front of her audience!

"Haph!" the audience gasped in unison, surprised at her mishap!

The audience certainly did not expect such a fall that they all immediately gasped a surprise—half sympathetic, half frustrated sigh! Clearly they expected too much for her and seeing her fall on the stage felt like they had been robbed of all the tickets they spent on her concierto.

Luckily, the audience were all professionals and elites and so no booing happened but  the way her audience witnessed how her performance went from majestic to horrific gave them all a sudden strong dislike. How could such a mishap happen when she's a well respected Voltaire Ballet talent?

One big rule in ballet Academy—the fall of the Prima ballerina is the fall of her company and so right then, Feather's management was already in chaos preparing an explanation in preparation for the backlash.

Knowing that Feather was Hawk's fiancee, everyone was curious as to Hawk's  reaction to Feather's fall and so a lot of the audience turned to the side of his box and saw him kissing another woman that was  clearly not Feather. The view left them a huge wave of shock!

"Hawk Monsanto is….."

"Omigod is that really Hawk Monsanto? He's cheating right in everyone's view!

"Who is that woman! I can see them kissing but the box was a bit far from here so I can't figure her face,"

"Umu! Hawk Monsanto is cheating right in front of his fiancee!"

"This is clearly beyond my imagination! I almost thought Feather Han was so lucky for having everything yet there's this,"

"How can they not be so shameless kissing like that in public?"

"How could things turn out so bad for Feather Han in just one night! She fell while dancing, this will surely be a turn off in her skill and just right after such an unfortunately fall, she immediately saw her fiance cheating!"

The orchestra then was playing and so even when Hawk could hear the commotion, the music was louder than it and Simione had already wrapped her hands around his neck, very unwilling to let go and so he just went on kissing her, oblivious to everything.

Feather on the other hand felt so little under everyone's mockery. She was aware of everyone's stares and displeasure of her performance that for a moment she couldn't drag her feet back into dancing. Her colleagues continued with their routine though and she was the one one sitting across the stage pinned down to her shame and disgust.

Her fall would surely end her ballet career!

And Hawk's public display of her cheating had only made things worse!

What would people say about her now?

And besides, what is Hawk Monsanto doing?

Does he even know how big of a scandal he was doing? How could he be so reckless!

Simione was very aware of the chaos, it was her plan afterall. 

Hawk however wasn't still aware of what was happening because clearly his untamable urges had not made him aware of anything rather than her scent, her enigma and her bloody sexy hell body. Simione, wearing such a halter dress hiding nothing but only her breast, which was very accessible by just sliding off his hands into her slit -- looked so glorious that Hawk could not control himself. 

He pushed her body closer to Simione, feeling everything of her body while his hands lavishly explored it and his mouth stuck into hers. He was lost in paradise and all that was in him was the desire to strip her off naked and make love with her.

Damn! How could she just appear now! Was she enjoying taking care of her sick pretend husband that she left him on the spot?

Now that she is here, not only his urges were anticipating her, his jealousy had gone berserk too.. He  was so drowned into a deep sensual haze brought by all of it.
