Chapter 23

~KYOMI~

"Are you okay?" Ben asked me, probably seeing my face all flushed from Dante's hands still on me under the table.

I nodded trying to calm my emotions down.

"You see, look at what your presence is doing here. Kyomi doesn't want you here anymore than I do." Ben pointed out harshly.

Dante turned his penetrating gaze on me, holding me in place with his stare alone. "I think Kyomi likes me here way more than you think she does." Dante whispered as he grazed his thumb finger across my lips lightly.

I gasped at the shock of it and snapped my legs shut trapping Dante's other hand between my thɨġhs.

He smiled at my reaction and I would be lying if I said it didn't make my heart flutter a little.

How could he do something like that with Ben watching?

"How dare you touch someone like Kyomi with your filthy hands?" Ben demanded stamping his menu down on the table. "You have really crossed the line this time."

"Oh really?" Dante asked with a quirked brow. "And how is that so? What I do with Kyomi has no concern with you whatsoever, it's between her and I."

"Watch how you speak, everyone already knows that your families hate each other, so what reason are you really here for?" Ben demanded, obviously still unaware of what was happening beneath the table.

"I have some unfinished business with Kyomi." Dante said completely shocking me. Why would he say something like that to Ben knowing the consequences of his actions if my parents found out what had happened here today?

Ben gave a concerned look to me before turning back to Dante. "Kyomi doesn't even have conversations with any man besides me, you expect me to believe that you have unfinished business with her?"

Dante smirked at him before leaning back on his chair and crossing his arms across his ċhėst. "And what makes you so special in Kyomi's life?" He asked, his eyes hard and cold as he waited for Ben to respond.
