Suddenly, I Became My Supermodel Sister's Manager

47. Who’s Going to Eat Whom Remains to Be Seen

Meanwhile, Jessica and Austin had been dancing on the crowded floor. The music was loud and infectious, with a deep bass that seemed to pulse through the floor and up their bodies.For a moment, Jessica had been lost in the rhythm, pushing the earlier events with Thomas out of her mind. The flashing lights, the sea of people, and the beat of the music were exactly what she needed to feel alive again.

Though her partner, Austin, kept holding himself back, maintaining a respectful distance between them despite Jessica's attempt to draw closer. His expression was tense, and his smile didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Relax a little, will you?" Jessica shouted over the music as she placed her hands on Austin's shoulders and pressed her body against his.

Austin stiffened further, looking like a deer caught in headlights. It wasn't that he lacked the desire, but he had witnessed first-hand what Andrew had done to Thomas, and the last thing he wanted was to find himself on the receiving end of Andrew's fists.

There was also a part of him that didn't believe in casual flings. A kiss under the influence or in the heat of the moment was one thing, but deliberately seeking more was not something he was comfortable with. He wanted something more meaningful.

And he knew Jessica wasn't looking for a meaningful relationship. Not with him, anyway.

So when Jessica started rubbing against him, giving him her seductive look full of desire, he couldn't bring himself to fall for her temptation.

Yet, Jessica still managed to make his heart beat faster despite all those inhibitions. He tried to focus on moving his body to the music, but the way she looked into his eyes, her face so close to him, and her body moving against his was too much.

And that's when Jessica decided to stop being subtle.

Without any warning, she wrapped her arms around Austin's neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss right on the dance floor. Her ruby red lips touched his, and her velvety tongue slipped past his lips. This sudden intimate encounter left Austin in a daze, and his arms instinctively wrapped around her waist to pull her closer.

Jessica could feel him hesitating but also giving in. That excited her even more, like a challenge.

She enjoyed the effect she had on him. It felt so good knowing she could make a reserved guy like Austin melt in her arms. Their kiss went on, long and deeply sensual, making Jessica hot.

At first Austin wanted to resist, but with Jessica being so beautiful and sexy, he couldn't resist the sensation of her warm body and the feeling of her soft tongue as it played with his.

After what felt like an eternity, Jessica finally broke the kiss, leaving them both breathless. "See, Austin? Wasn't that fun?" She whispered against his ear with a mischievous grin.

As she expected, Austin remained quiet. All he did was stare at her with a conflicted expression of his own.

Jessica giggled and pecked him one last time on the lips before pulling him towards the bar where Andrew, Katrina, and Eva were.

"Austin, I think I have had enough of this party. How about we leave for somewhere quiet instead?" Jessica asked sweetly, smiling as she pulled his hand while moving through the crowd.

Austin nodded with relief. He didn't want to stay in this high-energy atmosphere any longer and let things get any more heated with Jessica. "I think it would be best, Jessica."

Back at the bar, Katrina leaned in, her mouth millimetres away from Andrew's ear. "So... are you going to invite us over to your place sometime soon, or are you just going to keep teasing us with these kisses?"

With an arm around each of them, Andrew looked from one gorgeous woman to the other. Their bodies were warm against his, and he could feel their arousal through their flushed skin and eager eyes. The possibilities made his blood rush downward.

Though before he could answer, Jessica came over with Austin in tow. "Hey, Andrew! You're having fun, aren't you? With not one, but two sexy women. What a player!"

Her amused tone lacked any real accusation. In fact, Jessica seemed rather pleased to see him enjoying himself with Katrina and Eva. Like it proved something she'd known all along about her big brother's charms.

She then looked at Katrina and winked. "Are you sure it's safe to be around him? Who knows, he might eat you up! Don't come to me complaining afterward."

Katrina gave a low chuckle in response. "Who's going to eat whom remains to be seen, don't you think?" Then she looked back to Andrew. Her amber eyes looked like pools of liquid fire in the club's dim lighting, and a predatory smile played on her lips.

"Haha... You've got me there." Jessica laughed at Katrina's reply, then looked at her brother and continued. "Anyway, I'm going out of here to somewhere... quieter with Austin. You don't mind it, right, Andrew? Since I'm leaving you alone with these two?"

"Huh? You're leaving with Austin?" Andrew turned to face her, one eyebrow raised as his expression sobered slightly. Even his hands, which rested comfortably around Katrina and Eva's waists, paused their caressing motions for a few moments. "Where are you going?"

"Just somewhere to have a few drinks and chat, you know. Away from the noise." She looked at him with those wide blue eyes of hers and added playfully, "Maybe you all could also tag along? Unless you'd rather spend the time here, enjoying more of the... party atmosphere."

Eva's purple eyes lit up at the suggestion, and she agreed right away. "Yes, let's go somewhere else! The music's getting annoying, and there are too many people! We could have our own party at another place."

Andrew looked at the eager faces of both Jessica and Eva and then at Katrina, who seemed open to whatever he decided.

"Alright then. Let's all go."
