CHAPTER 06_ UNGODLY TEMPTATION

CHRISTIANA’S POV

I settled into his arms, savoring the warmth and comfort it gave me.

“Thank you for arranging that encounter with Mason” I said, my voice laced with appreciation.

“I wanted to spice things between us, my dear, nothing more,” he added.

I nodded in understanding, that was very thoughtful of him. If I were to be very honest,

“You could have joined us, you know, Mason was..…satisfactorily” I teased, choosing my words carefully.

Chief Gavin's gaze intensified "I’m glad you enjoyed yourself". But let’s keep things in perspective. "He was a one-time distraction, and nothing more."

I nodded hastily, not wanting to get him pissed, aware of the boundaries.

“Of course, baby. I know exactly what this is, I whispered, brushing my lips against his.

Just then, my phone rang. It was Sophia, my best friend.

“I promised her I’d be at her place tonight.”

I explained, with pleading eyes.

“I’ve missed her and I really need her company right now.”

With a pleading face, I looked over at my daddy. “It’s Christy calling. Could you have the driver drop me off at hers? I really don’t want to drive ”

His expression changed immediately, with a hint of disappointment lingering around him.

“You’re leaving?” he asked, his tone tinged with surprise.

“Errm… I stammered “but baby it’s only for tonight, I’ll spend every other night with you, I promise.”

I added a reassuring touch, rubbing his thighs.

“It’s fine” he said finally. “Go downstairs, James is there to take you.”

I squealed in excitement, giving him a peck on his cheeks and rushed out.  I was definitely his spoilt baby girl.

——————-

Shortly later, we arrived at Sophia’s and I called out her name loudly.

She burst out of the door, enveloping me in a tight hug as I struggled to break free.

“Come off it, you’re going to choke me”, I laughed.

“Choke you? Sophia teased. If your daddy’s choking didn’t kill you, what makes you think mine would?

I hit her playfully with my elbow. “You’re so naughty, jeez Sophia. Shut up!”

“I mean, I was just saying. She added, dragging my hands in hers. C’mon let’s go inside.

I followed suit, involving her in a conversation.

“Babe, guess what! Sophia's brows furrowed, curiosity sparking in her eyes.

“Spill the beans, Christy, what’s going on?”

“I met this handsome godly temptation of a man”, I continued.

Sophia’s eyes widened.

“A man? She repeated. “That you had to describe him this way?”

I nudged her again. Grinning.

While Sophia didn’t genuinely crave intimate relationships with men, she acknowledged that the practical necessity of such encounters was solely for the aim of conception.

I continued with my story anyway.

“He is a massage therapist. ”Chief brought him in to help me relax.”

“Help you relax? Sophia scoffed. Is that all that happened, Christy?

I laughed.

“Well, we had sex” I admitted.

Her expression turned serious.

“Relax, don’t judge me! I added quickly.

“It was the influence of alcohol”

“The alcohol” she repeated. Her tone skeptical

I playfully rolled my eyes. “You keep repeating my last words, Sophia, Come on!”

Her reaction remained unconvinced.

“I’m not surprised you slept with a handsome godly temptation of a man". She said, mimicking me. “For Christ’s sake Christy, you just met this guy!”

I shrugged, feeling a flush rise to my cheeks.

“I know but… I couldn’t resist. He was too hot and intense. "He just…  Did something to me."

Sophia raised an eyebrow.

“Sit down please… you’re beginning to sound like a lovesick teenager.”

I sat down beside her, eager to tell her every detail.

“Let me tell you all that transpired” I said, barely able to contain my excitement.

She sighed, settling in for the story. “I’m listening, but don’t expect me to condone your reckless behavior.”

I grinned mischievously, “that’s the best part”.

"I don’t need your approval, but I need your ears."

Sophia chuckled. "You’re impossible, Christy."

"Go on telling me about your ungodly temptation of a man."

“His name is Mason, he really helped me relax.”

Sophia’s eyes sparkled with intrigue.

“Relax? That’s code for ‘get you into bed,’ right?’

I giggled. “Maybe.” But honestly, Sophia, there was something about him. The way he touched me, the way he looked at me… it was nothing I’d ever experienced before.

“I would really love to see him again”
