The Temptress: Tempting the Devil’s son

“See what you’ve caused!” She glared at him.

“You started it first!” He retorted.

“Like you weren’t the one who brought up the whole handsome shit up,” she scoffed. “You are not even that handsome!”

“Of course I am. You said it yourself and you also said you can’t just get enough of my good looks. And also that you like me too much.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“When did I ever say that?”

“You did plus don’t forget you brought the seduction part up!” He taunted.

They were about to argue again when Nate yelled at both of them, “That’s enough you two! Stop acting like children!”

“She started it!” “He started it!” They both yelled pointing at each other.

“Enough!” He growled. He was starting to get pissed.

“Actually, I just remembered I have a meeting by 10, it’s best leave. I’m running late already.” He dropped the box on the floor.

“What meeting? You’re just trying to run away from this, aren’t you?” She frowned. How could he leave now?

“Really?” He smirked. “Or you could just say you miss me already and you don’t want me to leave? Admit it and I would stay.”

“You can leave I don’t care,” she huffed. Damn, she fucking cared! She didn’t want him to leave!

“Are you sure?” He furrowed his brows at her, looking into her eyes to tell if she was lying. He knew she really wanted him to stay.

“Yes!” She looked away, avoiding his blazing glaze. It was as if he could read her thoughts. His eyes made it harder to act stern, like she didn’t care.

“Don’t I get a goodbye kiss?” How could he be so shameless to ask her for a kiss in front of her parents?!

“No you don’t and don’t ask me for one. You can leave…”

“Shh,” He gave her a light kiss on the lips calming her nerves and shutting her up. She wished she wasn’t carrying this goddamn box. She really wanted to wrap her arms around him and pull him closer into her body. Feel his warmth and then deepen the kiss.

And then when she had kissed him to her satisfaction, she would gaze into his eyes as they try to catch their breath, breathing each other’s breath cause they are damn too close and then she would lean into his ears and then whisper into his ears and tell him not to leave.

“See you tomorrow.” He gazed at her for a few seconds before leaving. That was when she came to her senses, she didn’t even realize she was in daze.

Her eyes widened when the realization hit her. Oh God! Did he just do that in front of her parents. They were gonna think they were dating or something!

She turned to her friends and parents and their eyes said it all. They needed an explanation. Or maybe she was the one who needed an explanation. He just kissed her in front of her parents and they didn’t even say a word about her betrothal. This was confusing.

“I will be in my room.” She nibbled on her lips, dropped the box besides his and ran to her room before they could bombard her with questions she had no answer to. Once she was within the confines of her room, she shut the door and puffed out a loud breath. What just happened? Whatever it was, it felt good.

She smiled inwardly and touched her lips. She obviously liked the kiss and she wanted more! Damn him for leaving so soon.

She slumped on her bed reminiscing on everything that just happened including their intimate session in the store room. She closed her eyes with a small smile on her face and before she knew it, she was fast asleep.

“Isn’t Riri supposed to be betrothed or something. How come Professor Drake kissed her and you both said nothing? You didn’t even try to stop him nor scold him? Or even get angry and send him away?” Lia asked, confused as she glanced at the couple.

Why would they stop him? He was her boyfriend after all. She was his already. He could kiss her all he wants! Hmm. He was obviously dropping hints. Too bad she just couldn’t see them. Or maybe she was just playing dumb.

“I was thinking the same thing!” Kimberly nodded.

“Something doesn’t seem right. You must be hiding something,” Bethany added.

“Haven’t you figured it out, already?” Dionne smirked.

“Figured what out?!” They questioned in unison, all anxious to find out the truth.

“He is Blake. The Blake you know. Blake Houston. He is Riri boyfriend and fiancé!”

Their jaws dropped in utter stupefaction. They didn’t expect that to be her reply at all. “Professor Drake is Riri’s boyfriend?” Kim asked after a few moments to confusion. They couldn’t believe their ears.

“Yes!”

“Oh my God! I can’t believe this!” Beth squealed.

“I’m in shock!” Lia mumbled.

“And what was that thing you said about Blake Houston?” Kimberly asked.

“Yeah, his full name is Blake Houston. Does that ring a bell?”

She was bemused. Of course the name rang a bell. A loud one.

“Like Blake Houston!!! The richest man on earth, the mysterious Billionaire who only a few people know what he looks like. Even the press are dying to unveil his identity. They would give millions for his identity. He’s the one?” she squealed.

“Yes, he is the one,” Dionne smiled. “But Riri doesn’t know who he is. She just thinks he is her professor but he is so much more.”

“Oh my God! I think I’m gonna faint… Riri boyfriend is a fucking billionaire. He is stinkingly rich! Like so fucking wealthy. A lot girls are dying to be on his bed despite the fact that no one knows what he looks like!”

“Yeah, but don’t let Riri hear that, she gets extremely possessive of him. She would think you are trying to snatch her boyfriend!” Beth joked.

“Duh! I only said that. I don’t plan on snatching her boyfriend. I’m just super excited!” She squeaked and ran out of the passage.

“Where are you going?” They asked.

“To get a god damn autograph!” She replied with a giggle.

Kimberly walked in the sitting room looking all gloomy and sullen. They were all busy trying to set up the decorations and all.

“What’s up sis? What’s with the frown?” Beth asked.

“Maybe she got turned down. Seems like he has eyes for Riri only.” Lia smirked.

“No, I didn’t. I couldn’t find him!” She sobbed. “He left before I got there. Why do I have to be so unlucky? I finally meet my idol but I couldn’t even get an autograph!”

“Don’t worry Kim, he will be here tomorrow and he can write you as many autographs as possibe,” Lia said, consoling her.

“Really?” Her eyes lit up, feeling excitement run through her spine.

“Yes!”

“God Riri is so lucky? How did she end up with someone as rich as Blake Houston!” She squealed.

“That would be my doing or maybe his. He was the one who chose her from birth.”

“Mom, does he perhaps have a brother or a relative? You could hook him up with me. Please.” She pouted.

“Blake is the only child of his mother!” Dionne said with an eye roll. She was being so dramatic.

“Oh my God! Why does he have to be the only child?” She cried.

“But he does have a friend, they are like brothers infant.” She smirked.

“Liam Lee?” She gaped.

“Yes!”

“Oh my God!” She squeaked.

“Liam Lee is the third richest man in the world and he’s so fucking cute! But not as cute as Blake but still, he’s handsome and definitely my spec. Will he be coming over for the party? Is he single? What’s his spec in ladies? Am I beautiful enough?”

“Okay. Enough with the silly questions.”

“Liam Lee doesn’t have a girlfriend cause he’s a Casanova, he likes women a lot!” Lia frowned

“That’s too bad. Why am I so unlucky?” she wailed.

“Technically, you are a boy freak and he’s a Casanova. Ever heard of the saying birds of a feather flock together? Who knows he could be into girls like you!” Beth teased, chuckling at her own statement.

“Are you mocking me?” She glared at her sister.

“No sis I’m just saying the truth! You want him right?” She grinned.

“Yes!”

“Then go get him!”

“But how?” She mumbled.

“Aren’t you the queen of seduction? Do what you know you can do best!”

“You mean I should seduce him?”

“Yes dummy!”
