“Are you going to let me touch them?” Klyde already reached out a hand and touched the top of her breast with the tip of his fingers.
Melissa gasped and pulled back. She stared at him with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. He’s not following the script! Damn it. Why is he flirting back? He’s supposed to tell her off for trying. He’s supposed to scold her or something, and maybe give in. Give up being her legal guardian and give her money. That was the scenario in her head.
She closed her mouth and swallowed. Adapt. Be flexible.
Composing herself, she smiled at him again.
“You’re not supposed to touch the goods this early, honey.” She touched them herself and adjusted her dress in front of him.
He raised an eyebrow again. “Not this early? If you’re not going to let me touch them, what’s the point of displaying them right in front of my eyes?”
Klyde isn’t one to be distracted at work, but please… give him a break. He’d been working nonstop in the last few weeks. He hasn’t bedded a woman and indulged in earthly pleasures in a while. The sight of a ready meal served as a good distraction.
Melissa moved closer to him and leaned on the side of his table. “What is it called? Enticement. Temptation. Allure. I’m trying to get you excited and wanting for more. Like what you see, don’t you?”
She leaned again and gave him a good view. Her smile was triumphant. It doesn’t look like he’ll be difficult to seduce.
“It would be better if you let me taste them.” His tone was nonchalant but it made her hot for some reason. She could imagine it in her head. His mouth swallowing her berry-like tips. Her breathing deepened as her eyes darkened with desire.
There was a certain level of tension between them, different from the kind of tension they had before.
He’s much too old for her. Just one year, and he’s twice her age. Her father’s best friend.
Her lips parted as she tried controlling her senses. She must not give in to her impulse, but her gaze settled on his mouth and that smirk.
He stood up and she quickly straightened up. He stepped forward and she took a step back. His expression was that of a predator eyeing his prey. He took another step and her feet automatically adjusted the distance between them.
Soon, her back hit the wall. His breath fanned her face. It was enticing. Who’s being enticed now?
“What’s your plan, Ms. Franklin? Are you trying to seduce me into giving you money? That plan is flawed. I would fuck you but you’re not getting your inheritance.”
The mention of her inheritance cleared her head a little.
“That’s my inheritance. I deserve to receive it.” She almost snarled at him, but she toned it down a little. She’s not here to have a shouting match with him.
“Your father does not want you to have it at this time. You and I both know why. You’re only going to lose it as quickly as it’s given to you. Would you deny it?”
She squinted at him, his charming effect lessening with each word they exchange.
“But I need food and shelter. Are you really going to let me starve and go homeless?”
“Didn’t I offer you my house? Meals are included.”
She rolled her eyes at him. “What about my other needs?”
“I’m only willing to give you what you need, not what you want. There’s a clear difference. I’ll give you enough allowance to search for a job. Better yet, why don’t you simply work for me? Or at your father’s company?”
“I’m not interested.” She really doesn’t want to work there, nor here.
“Then, you better find a job on your own. I’m giving you a month.”
Her eyes widened at the deadline. “What? Do you know how difficult it is to get a job?”
“Do you? I’m of the impression that you haven’t tried enough.”
He leaned closer to her and her heart started beating faster again. His scent invaded her senses.
Calm down, think of something else. She looked away for a moment, collecting her thoughts. Then, it hit her.
“Didn’t you say earlier that you’re going to fuck me? Aren’t you ashamed? I’m your best friend’s daughter. I could’ve been your daughter’s age.” Yes, this is what she came here for. The guilt card. She should play it well.
“Then, why are trying to seduce me? You came here to show-off your body. I don’t have a daughter. I don’t have children. Sure, you’re William’s daughter but you’re nobody to me. It’s not as if I raised you as my own child. Now, that would be disgusting.”
“Excuse me?” She gulped, not expecting him to have these kinds of thoughts. It wasn’t what she expected him to think. He’s supposed to decline her “advances”.
“You and I are strangers. Strangers can hook up and sleep together, no?” He inched closer and his hand touched her chin.
“You might want to come up with a different plan, because this isn’t going to work for you.” He touched her lips, and in that moment, a different thought occurred to her.
“Then, if I let you have a taste of me, would you reward me? Hmm?” She changed her posture and faced him head-on. Her tone returned to being seductive again and she flashed him a sweet smile.
His pupils dilated at how she almost pressed her breasts to his chest. He could hear the challenge in her tone. Well, let’s see if you’re bluffing or not.
He inched much closer until he could feel the softness of her flesh against his hard body. She inhaled sharply, but she couldn’t move. He’d trapped her in that corner.
“How about a taste test? I’m afraid I might find it’s not to my liking.”
What… what does he mean?
She stared back at him without a word. His expression darkened further as his hand inched closer to her healthy chest. Melissa inhaled sharply when he finally cupped her and squeezed. She bit her lip to prevent herself from moaning.He did taste her, reaching inside the bodice of her dress and freeing one breast to lick and suckle. Her moan escaped her lips as she grasped his coat. His tongue swirled around her soft flesh, evoking pleasure from within her. When he nipped and sucked, she let go and cried out, tightly holding onto his sleeve.But that was it. He simply tasted her. He straightened and stepped backward.Melissa was flushed from both embarrassment and desire. How could he…? He actually did that to her?“You taste good enough. Did you say reward? We’ll see about that. How about you move in to my house today and we’ll discuss further?” He raised an eyebrow at her, but his gaze travelled downwards to her still exposed breast.She took in a deep breath before composing herself
She’s not exactly impressed by the scale of his mansion. It’s about the same as the one her father owned, the place she grew up in. Do people their age have similar taste?She shivered and shook herself off. She really doesn’t want to think of Klyde in relation to her father. It was an uncomfortable feeling. It’s weird if they actually end up in bed together and she suddenly sees her father in him. The heck?“Brrr…” She paced around the room that was given to her and shook her limbs. She’s finally done putting her items around the room and keeping the boxes in an unused cabinet. It looks like her old room. It’s good enough and wider than her apartment bedroom.Melissa grinned. It’s not such a bad decision and it was settled quite quickly. Things are getting better, it seems.When she moved to the bed and savored its comfort, her thoughts started veering towards his words.Would Klyde really do what he said he would? With her?Her face heated up and her breathing deepened. She’s gettin
Melissa isn’t innocent. She knew he might taste her again so she excused herself for a few minutes before meeting him at his study. She made herself presentable again. Tried to make herself irresistible, but that may be over the top. They’re both living in this house! It doesn’t make any sense for her to wear her sexy clothing. Those are normally for her bar-hopping.A maid showed her the way to his study and he was sitting behind his desk. Much like in his office earlier in the day. Her throat went dry when she recalled what happened between them.Mentally, she shook her head. You need to get the upper hand in this discussion, she reminded herself.“Take a seat.” His tone was more relaxed than when he was in the office.Alright, she’s liking it so far. There’s no chair in front of his desk so she occupied the couch. She waited for him to speak again.Klyde picked up the document his assistant prepared and he handed it to her.She raised an eyebrow as she accepted it.Melissa frowned
He wanted to ravage her as soon as possible. With a little discomfort, he edited the document according to what they agreed on and printed a copy.They both signed it before he put it away inside his safe.“What now?” Melissa asked him, standing opposite him with the table between them. Are they going to begin immediately? She was hoping to get away for a few minutes and change her underwear. It would be too embarrassing if he finds her soaked.He raised an eyebrow before approaching her. Melissa swallowed hard when she saw his expression. It was the same one he had in the office when he cornered her. But this time, she stood her ground. She’s ready for this anyway. She wants him, too. For pleasurable nights, that is. This would be her first experience with an older man, but she heard they’re more attentive.He put his hands on her waist and slowly moved her back towards the couch. They stared at each other heatedly. Both their breathing pattern deepened. She reached up to touch his j
Melissa haphazardly put on her clothes, disregarding the undies. Hey, if they’re going to continue in his room, there’s no point wearing them.She sauntered after him. Three doors to the right, he entered his master bedroom. She shrugged upon seeing the general aesthetic of it. Typical of a bachelor.“Where do you want me?” She asked while she made her way towards the large bed. It’s not as if her past lovers hadn’t made demands in the bedroom. They have and she’s not averse to giving them what they want, as long as it’s not beyond what she could tolerate.The man removed his clothes before facing her, so she stripped as well as he looked on. He tapped the bottom of the bed.“Right here.”Only then did she notice that the bed is raised higher than the ones she’s used to. Well, he’s a tall guy. And well… is it to make it easier for him to pound a woman senseless as he stands on the floor? Her core ached at the thought and moved to where he wants her. She sat on the edge of the bed and
When she went back to her room, she grinned at seeing the money on her account. She could breathe just fine now. It was as if half her problems have been settled. She quickly paid her bills online before doing anything else.Afterwards, she rummaged through one of her boxes and found a cute notebook and a pen. She’s not used to making plans, but she now felt that she needed to. Save half of her money, huh? Pursing her lips, she grudgingly agreed that she will do that. She took a deep breath. Is she really going out to apply for jobs? Just thinking about it is already draining her energy. Well, she would need an updated resume. She knew that much. She opened her laptop and edited the document. Apparently, one-page resumes are now the trend. She doesn’t have much to put in it anyway. Just some of her personal information and educational background. Experience? Only her internship.She went to Klyde’s study to print copies of it. Since he’s out she was free to look around. All those book
She fell asleep not long after she got back. Going around to shop was tiring.When Klyde returned, he went to his study to finish a few things. When he was called for dinner, Melissa was nowhere to be found.“Where’s that woman?” He asked with a frown. The maid felt a little scared by his tone and expression.“I already knocked on her room, sir. I have informed her that dinner is ready.”“Did you get an answer?”“No, sir.”“Call her again.”“Yes, sir.” She hurried away to obey her employer.It doesn’t really matter to Klyde. He began to eat without waiting for her. He was about to finish his meal when she arrived. She looked a little disheveled and her eyes still look sleepy. He could only surmise that she’d been sleeping.“Did you apply for jobs today? Do you have a job already?” He went straight to business.She could only roll her eyes at him and groan. “Are we in a rush? I still don’t know what I want to do. I’m carefully considering my options. I did look around earlier, but I’m
“Do you not mind fucking with an older man?” He asked absentmindedly as he changed his clothes.Melissa was still basking in the afterglow of their shared pleasure. “Are you fishing for compliments? Do you need your ego bolstered?”He raised an eyebrow at her as he buttoned a different shirt.“You look much younger than your age and you probably know already, your body is comparable to that of younger men. Are these what you want to hear? Satisfied?”Klyde lightly shook his head. He shouldn’t have bothered asking. It’s clear now that she’s not easily bothered by anything. That’s not even what he meant by his question.“On another topic, how do you expect me to go out early to look for a job when you still use my body at this hour? When I start working for a company, can we do away with morning sex?”He couldn’t answer immediately, but did consider it carefully. “Maybe a quickie.”Melissa groaned at his reply. Men. She rolled her eyes at him as she rolled on the bed to search for her n
