WICKED SEDUCTION CHAPTER 20
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When I closed my eyes, though, I saw Lee’s face, and the moment we had had earlier came flooding back to me. I moaned and tried to distract myself from the erotic memory in my thoughts, but it was futile. As he plunged himself within me, I was plagued by the intensity of his look, and before I realized it, my hand had slipped lower to touch myself.
“No, I must not do this,” I said to myself and withdrew my hand from touching the most intimate part of my body. However, I was unable to distract my focus, and I was unable to sleep. Finally, I got up and decided to clean my room. I needed something to distract my mind. First, I changed the drapes, and the bed cover followed. I also reorganized my closet and discarded the clothes that were seldom used.
In a few hours, I was done, but I still missed him so much. I could see him intently watching over me whenever I looked around and wished I didn’t hurt his feelings and pride. I tried to stop him from quitting his job, but the man was adamant and announced he could no longer work with someone like me.
I expressed a deep sigh of regret and longing before I went to the window and opened the drapes to let the cold and fresh air came in. For a moment, I stood by the window while looking outside and hoping that Lee would come back. Another sigh escaped from my lips as I returned to my bed and forced myself to sleep.
Time flowed slowly for a person with a heavy heart, and in the morning, I almost failed to recognise myself in the mirror. Dark bags under the eyes, puffy eyes, and a melancholy expression! Before meeting him, I wasn’t clingy, but Lee changed all of that. He made me feel so vulnerable, and my heart ached for his presence. To lessen the heaviness of my heart, I sauntered towards the bathroom to freshen up. Then, I had a quick, cold shower and changed into something more comfortable at homes, such as cotton shorts and a basic white t-shirt. I pulled my damp hair back into a ponytail and went into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee.
I walked towards the door with a cup in my hand, intending to have my coffee on the balcony. The morning wind on the balcony was refreshing, and the open layout allowed me to clear my mind.
“Oh, my God!” When I noticed a man outside the main door, I almost dropped my coffee, and a line emerged in the centre of my brows when he turned around. “Why are you here?”
A gorgeous set of white teeth glistened in the morning sunlight as he grinned. “Good morning, sweetheart,” he responded as if we had not argued the last night.
“Are you kidding me?” Whoa, what a knucklehead! “You quit as my bodyguard, remember?” When he just stared at me, I reminded him of our conversation last night.
“I know you still want me,” he claimed.
I couldn’t refute that he expressed a fact, but it would be a shame to accept it immediately, so I arched my brows in response. “Where it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter. You are not welcome here,” I told him. “And what makes you believe I’m still interested in you?”
“Your eyes say it all, and you want me...right now,” Lee remarked, his voice husky, sending thrills down my spine.
“Of course not!” I refuted his assumptions, but he just responded with a raised eyebrow.
Lee drew up to me, leaning in close and whispering. “Don’t be obstinate and say it. I’ll make you scream with delight just by saying the words Selena...right now.”
Before I could stop him, he picked me up and carried me back inside the house. I was worried that someone would see us, and luckily, we didn’t meet anyone on our way up. As soon we reached our destination, Lee kicked the door open and closed it immediately before he conquered my mouth. I summoned all of my might and pushed him away from me as he moved his lips to deepen the kiss.
My chest heaved up and down as I muttered, “Wait...” after shoving him away. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be able to accomplish it... That is to say, not yet.”
“Why not?” When Lee inquired, his voice was gruff, which only increased my desire for him.
I told him the truth clumsily, “I...I haven’t cleaned my teeth yet,” and Lee’s eyes twinkled with delight.
“Ah, that’s what I’m talking about. I was aware of the stench but chose to ignore it.” Lee joked, but I was offended by his solemn attitude. When I pushed him away and headed to the bathroom, he yelled out, “Hey, I’m just kidding!”
I said, “I know,” before taking a long breath and letting out a sigh of relief. I promised myself last night that I would forget about him, but my heart rejoiced when he showed up at the door earlier. When it came to Lee, I had to accept that I was happier whenever he was around. It didn’t seem like I was upset at him for even a second when he kissed me! In other words, I squandered all of my tears for nothing!
“Let’s talk, baby,” he said when I emerged from the bathroom.
As he sat across from me, all I could do was sigh and stare at him. “So, why are you here?” When I asked him, he was initially taken aback. “You quit, remember?”
“I am not here as your bodyguard,” he replied.
I snapped my brows together and lifted the tip while looking back at him in response to his statement. “What do you mean?”
“My real name is Liam,” he stated, and for a moment, I stared at him. We have been together for several months, yet I didn’t bother to ask for his full name. When he informed me that his name was Lee, I took it at face value and never bothered anything else.
“So, hi Liam,” I jested, and he frowned immediately. Oh well, I preferred calling him Lee rather than Liam because it felt different to pronounce, and it seemed Liam was another person from Lee.
“I’m sorry for lying all this time,” he started.
I wasn’t sure if I heard him correctly, but I didn’t understand the words coming out of his mouth. “It’s alright. Whether you are Lee or Liam, it doesn’t matter. You look the same to me,” I replied.
Liam cleared the lumps on his throat before he spoke again. The intensity of his gaze made me uncomfortable in my seat, and I noticed that he looked a little different from last night. He seemed so serious compared to the man I argued with the previous night. “I am your fiancé,” he announced.
“Now, you’re kidding,” I said, but when I stared at him, and he didn’t smile, I furrowed my brows in confusion. “What are you talking about, Lee?”
“My name is Liam Salcedo,” he announced.

After his introduction, the world appeared to be spinning around me, and I felt like I was gripped by a sharp and throbbing agony that made me want to vomit. For a second, I prayed that the pain would be gone, but his betrayal was one of a kind, and I glared at him. “Did you bribe the agency that handled our security?” I inquired when I realized what he had done just to be accepted as my bodyguard. “No, I bought it,” he replied without feeling any guilt about lying to me. “What did you say? You bought the entire agency just to keep your lies?” Whoa, I was astounded at his cleverness. Nevertheless, my respect for the man changed drastically, and I was not too fond of his guts. “Why did you do it?” “Because I wanted to know my fiancée, and hmmm, I planned to convince you about not marrying me,” he answered. My eyes blinked several times upon hearing his explanation. Yes, I didn’t want to marry the man who was arranged for me, but hearing Lee say those words were like a knife to my

When I saw his sad expression, I was almost tempted to take back my words. However, I remained firm in my decision. When he stared into my eyes, I pursed my lips and frowned at him. He looked pitiful when he looked down and stared at the floor, but I couldn't just let it slide. "Please accept my apologies, Selena. I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but it just happened, and I felt bad for it," he explained. As I listened to him, I could feel the sincerity in his words. However, it wasn't an excuse for his lies and pretensions. "You must have laughed at me behind your back because you managed to fool me, Lee." "It's not true!" He denied my accusations. "I know it's hard to believe, but I fell in love with you during our first meeting." "Now, you're making me laugh. Are you telling me that it's love at first sight? Are you kidding me, Lee?" "Can you give me another chance? I want to prove to you that my feelings are sincere," he said. "Lee, I am terrified to accept you again or

Since it’s just me and Lee, who ate breakfast together, I decided to wash the plates and utensils we used earlier. I was doing the dishes when he unexpectedly hugged me behind, and I couldn’t concentrate on my task. When I felt his mouth on my flesh, I jerked my neck back a little. Before I lost control of my body, I asked him, “What do you think you’re doing?” “I enjoy it when you are mischievous...but only in front of me,” he whispered. I cringed as Lee mumbled enticing words into my ear, and I gasped for air as he softly bit the skin on my neck and sucked on it. “Stop!” I raised my voice in protest before we wouldn’t be able to control our libido. “I’m sorry, baby, but I just can’t help myself,” Lee answered in hushed tones before releasing his grip on my neck. “Did you just leave a mark on me?” He chuckled when I narrowed my eyes at him and replied, “Yes. I put a mark on what belongs to me, and you are mine.” My knees began to wobble as I listened to what he said. Lee’s conc

Lee grasped my breasts with his hand and softly stroked them with his fingers. Then he rubbed my firm nipples and played with them for a while. At some point, he was no longer satisfied with just using his fingers, and I stood there watching as he dropped his lips and sucked one of my breasts out. When he tormented my nipples with his tongue, I arched my back and cried out for his name. For a moment, he stopped and looked at me, but just for a brief second before his lips moved down toward the most sensitive area of my body. He tasted it, licked it, and I asked him to stop when I thought I couldn’t take any more. I took hold of the thick hair on his head and pushed him away, but he wouldn’t go, and every little movement of his head made my body quiver with ecstasy. I couldn’t keep track of how many times I shouted for his name because he seemed to be unstoppable!“Please...,” I pleaded with him as I felt the spasm in my stomach. He devoured me, and when he moved on to the small item i

We were supposed to work especially when it was payday for my staff. However, Lee has something else on his head, and he has been naughty since we arrived at my workplace. I tried to ignore his presence, but it was too strong to be ignored, and some of the female staff kept visiting my office for some useless stuff! “I suggest that you better go home,” I told him, and he changed his sitting position while trying to come up with a better reason for him to stay. “You are no longer my bodyguard, and your presence is disturbing us!” Instead of feeling guilty, he just laughed! The audacity! “I understand that you are under stress right now. Allow me to go outside and get something to refresh your mind,” he jested, but he was fast enough to leave before I could stop him. I just shook my head in disbelief that someone like Liam Salcedo could be childish, and I wondered why I got so lucky to have him as my fiance. We were together for a few months, and I had no complaints about him, asid

Both Lee and I were surprised to see the woman in my office. When I glanced at Lee, I couldn’t read or decipher what was inside his head. I wondered what the reason for the tension between them was, but then, I was not raised to be rude. “Miss Katherine Hamilton,” I acknowledged the woman’s presence since I knew her from kindergarten. We attended the same school, and we also graduated from the same university. “Are you here to inspect our business?” I inquired since the woman has been connected with the Bureau of Customs, and I usually felt insecure towards her beauty. The foreign blood within her helped a lot to make her stand out! “Selena Montes! Whoa, I didn’t expect to see you here. Who would have expected that I would be in a big surprise?” She replied with a spiteful remark, and I had no idea what was the cause of her sudden visit. “It’s been several years since I started this business, and you never came to visit even just once. You were also missing in our batch’s gathering
IN LOVE WITH THE CEO : TRILOGY WICKED SEDUCTION CHAPTER 27
Since we belonged in the same circle, receiving an invitation from a common friend couldn't be avoided. At first, I was hesitant to accept it because I was worried that Katherine Hamilton would also be there. It’s a common friend from the University, and knowing the identity of Katherine’s father, I was convinced she was also invited. While considering my best option, whether to attend or ignore it, I accept the invitation. Although there was a chance that Katherine would be there, there was also a possibility she wouldn’t be there. After all, she’s probably busy with Liam Salcedo. It took me a lot of courage to prepare for the trip since Layla asked me to spend the night with them. She had not mentioned anything extravagant, and she said it was just a simple gathering with selected people from our batch. She used to be a journalist, but she switched jobs for some unknown reasons. When I arrived at my destination, I was informed it was a night of swimming with the girls. Since I wa

There was no announcement about Katherine Hamilton’s engagement with Liam Salcedo on news outlets and television, but I knew they were planning their wedding. Some of our common friends mentioned it, and except for Layla, they were all happy about the upcoming union of Katherine Hamilton and Liam Salcedo. Since I was not in the mood to go back to work, I asked my father to lend one of his managers to manage mine for the time being. It was a risky move, especially when my sea freight business had been doing well in the previous months, and we were headed to expansion. I tried so hard to convince myself and go to work, but my mind and heart wouldn’t cooperate! I knew I was wallowing in self-pity and self-destruction, but I couldn’t stop myself from being so melodramatic. I was aware that forgetting him and moving on were the only options to survive the recent heartbreak, but everything about Liam Salcedo haunted me! At night, I would see him in my dreams! During the daytime, I was a

I was taken aback by the property where he took me after the wedding. From the exterior, this property seemed to be luxurious. It was constructed of grey brickwork and had white cedarwood ornamentation. Tall, circular windows allowed plenty of natural light to enter the residence, and they have been strategically placed throughout the structure in a reasonably symmetrical design. The property was furnished with a standard kitchen and three bathrooms, a large living room, two bedrooms, a small dining area, a library, and an oversized garage with plenty of parking spaces. The structure has a rectangular form to it, and beautifully landscaped grounds completely encircled it. A large number of smaller windows would let plenty of natural light enter the rooms below the roof. Besides the home itself, there was paved land around it with numerous party areas, such as a luxury grill and a campfire. I was amazed at the design, but it was expected for Liam to own something gorgeous. “Vera buil

The majority of the female guests were taken aback by the edginess of my wedding dress, but the majority of the male attendees were drawn to my cleavages. I shook my head in surprise when I realised that even married guys were staring. When a marching song began to play in the background, my father appeared behind me, and the two of us went together toward the red carpet that had been spread out on the ground. Over the years, he practiced hypocrisy, and he successfully convinced everyone that we were on good terms. “You should get an award for being the finest actor in the world, Daddy,” I said with my teeth gritted, and when I turned to look at him, he grinned at me. “It will be over soon,” he whispered back as if his statement would make a difference. I was so preoccupied with my predicament that I completely missed the presence of the guy waiting for me at the altar. I looked around for my groom, but I couldn’t seem to locate him anywhere. “Can you tell me where Robert is?” “T

The skyline was dotted with towering buildings, many constructed within the previous ten years or less. The city was seeing unprecedented growth in employment, which has received a great deal of attention. Several distinct cultures have left their imprints on education and the personality of the city as a whole. What was once a city of little variety has evolved into a fusion of everything. The sense of belonging to a heterogeneous society has made its imprint. One may choose from hundreds of clubs, theme restaurants, and diners. Those looking for something different could go sightseeing, touring the city, doing aerobics, or visiting one of the numerous other recreational places. “My parents can be talkative sometimes,” he suddenly said while he turned left in the next corner. “Your parents? Wait, are you saying that we are going to dine with them?” “Yes. We are heading towards one of your restaurants,” he said. I slapped his arm to question his motive, but he just ignored it. Th

Robert remained quiet and puckered his lips in response, and I frowned at him! Was he under the impression that he could intimidate me with a severe look on his face? He has to rethink his position! I stepped away as he walked towards me as if he was going to kiss me! As soon as he got close enough to kiss me, I ran upstairs like a coward and didn’t look back. An hour later, I went downstairs to talk to my father, who had just gotten home. It was up to me to persuade him that my marriage to Robert would be a complete catastrophe. The bodyguard stayed in the shadows but kept a close eye on me at all times. “Daddy, can we talk?” “Can you tell me what it is this time?” He inquired in a severe tone that made my palms shiver in terror every time he spoke. “I don’t get along with Robert, Daddy.” “You’re not required to do so. Just get married to him and let him save you from total humiliation! Your future is safe in Robert’s capable hands!” He said it in a matter-of-fact tone, which I

When Robert stared at me for a second, I thought he would rebut my accusation, but he remained staring at me, and it was uncomfortable. When he remained silent and just stared, I arched my brows at him and asked, “Are you not going to say anything?” “You used to like me when we were younger,” he said, implying that I had a crush on him in the past. I thought I would die of annoyance when he mentioned the ‘crush thing’ from the past. “It’s all in the past, Robert. While it is true that you are still good-looking, I don’t think I can survive living with you. You smelled like a dead person!” “Having body odour is normal, isn’t it?” “Oh, my God! Here we go again,” I let out a sigh of exasperation. When he tried to come closer to me, I yelled and turned around. I hurried towards the door, my hand covering my lips with the other hand. He had feet that smelled like a dead animal, and I felt sick to my stomach! Could he get any more repulsive? “Selena, wait!” “Stay where you are, please

Robert was rendered speechless, but it didn't take him long to change his expression. In a split second, he stared daggers at me, and the way he looked at my neck, and I was worried he would strangle me to death. For a moment, I felt relieved that my father hired a new bodyguard who was probably lurking near us to save me anytime. "Are you looking for the bodyguard? I'm sorry to disappoint you, Selena, but he's not here now and wouldn't be able to save you. Do you understand what I am trying to tell you?" "Yes!" I replied, and without any warning, I ran towards the safety of my room. When I heard him call my name again, my hands shook in fear. When I looked behind my shoulders, I saw him move a little, and as he got closer to me, I became so nervous and almost peed on my clothes. I pointed my finger at him and warned him incessantly not to come closer, but he merely grinned as if there was something funny going on. "Stop where you are right now!" I shouted at him. "Selena, what's

When Robert called my name again, I was worried he would do something terrible to me, so I ran away, and I heard him laugh from a distance. What's his deal? I tried to call Layla to ask her some questions about Robert, but her phone was turned off.With a heavy heart, I went outside for fresh air. From the balcony, I strolled towards our manicured garden and headed towards the swing. I missed spending time in the swing with Lee or my aunt. Speaking of which, I recalled I had something to discuss with Aunt Jenny, so I immediately dialed her phone number.However, it was out of the coverage area. I tried again, but I got the same result. Anyway, I gave up on calling her and shifted my focus to the surroundings. While staring at the budding flower close to me, I couldn't stop thinking about Lee. Every day, I have been checking for an article that would mention the union of Katherine Hamilton and Liam Salcedo, but I couldn't find any write-ups.For the nth time, I sighed in frustration. I

When he mentioned my pregnancy, I narrowed my eyes at him and wondered how the Hell he knew about my condition. For several days, I tried to ignore the issue. As soon as I noticed the delay in my monthly period, I purchased a pregnancy kit that could help me confirm my suspicion. When it was time to use it, I waited patiently, and when it turned out to be positive, I nearly collapsed inside the bathroom. It was such a shocking turn of events, but I couldn't blame anyone for my negligence. I wasn't taking birth control pills when I allowed him to sleep with me. It was reckless, but I was not thinking correctly during those times and let my emotions take over my mind. I let my emotions control me, so I had to bear the consequences of my actions. "I am going to raise my child alone," I declared in front of my father. "Says who? I won't let you ruin our reputation," he stated in a monotone which was even scarier. "Daddy! What about my life? Is it more important than our name? Are you
