WICKED SEDUCTION CHAPTER 9

During dinner, I noticed that Lee was not nearby. I assumed that he’s probably somewhere or with the security personnel who worked for the hotel magnate, Mr. Bradley Salcedo. The man’s wife was funny to converse with, and if there was one thing I disliked about her, it was her constant mention of her youngest son.

The couple just returned from one of their trips, and the first thing they did was visit my Dad. My father was elated at the sudden visit of his close friend. Well, who wouldn’t? After all, they were not able to bond most of the time because of their hectic schedule.

“You are so beautiful, Selena. I’m sure that you have several suitors by now,” the woman said.

“You are wrong about it, Ma’am,” I replied.

“Oh, you’re single?”

“Technically, yes!” After responding to her inquiry, I waited for a sign from the woman. A sign that could give me a hint that one of her sons was my fiancé; however, there was none.

“Dear, what do you think about asking Liam to date this gorgeous lady?” She asked her husband.

“That’s quite inappropriate, dear. Why don’t we let Liam choose his bride? His brothers chose their wives carefully, so he should do the same.”

While I was listening to the Salcedo couple arguing about their love life, or the dating status of their son, I couldn’t help but become envious. “Your son is lucky to have you as his parents,” I said while glancing at my irresponsible father, who tried to tie me down with a man who was a stranger.

The conversation went on, and after the dinner was made, the couple stayed for a few glasses of wine. Before meeting them in a casual place, or our dining room, I considered them a snob. They rarely attended business gatherings in the past, and everything I learned about the couple was firsthand information from reliable sources. Until tonight, I had no idea that they had a strong connection with my father. Earlier, I considered their son’s name in the list, but the way they talked, I could tell they were also against fixed marriages.

I wished, and I hoped, my father would do the same courtesy to me.

It was almost midnight when they decided to leave, and I was compelled to walk with them. Outside, I immediately noticed my bodyguard, who remained alert. “Have a safe trip in going home, Ma’am,” I informed her before one of their men assisted her into the car.

“Oh, by the way, dear, who is that handsome fellow over there?” She pointed out Lee from a distance.

I thought that Lee’s exquisite features might have caught the attention of Bradley’s wife. I smiled at her and said, “Oh, that’s my bodyguard!”

“A bodyguard?” The woman asked in a raised tone, which caused me to suspect that they had known each other before. “Do you know him?” I asked and waited for the woman’s answer, but she waved her hand to say goodbye.

When they left, Lee immediately approached me, and I glared at him for ignoring me earlier. “She asked about you,” I informed him.

“Maybe she’s just curious how you got lucky to have me as your bodyguard,” he replied with all the arrogance in his body.

“I have to rest now, it’s late, and you can do the same as well,” I told him.

“Of course. Hmmm, Selena? Did anyone tell you that you look splendid tonight?” He tried to flirt with me by the way he chuckled at the end of his inquiry.

“Everyone at the table told me I’m beautiful tonight,” I replied, and I heard him chuckle again behind me. Scooping the hem of my evening gown, I walked towards the main door, and I never tried to look back before taking the lift to my room.

When I woke up in the morning, I couldn't explain why I felt the desire to release something inside me. Perhaps, did Lee has something to do about my uncontrollable urge? Hopefully not because it would only cause some trouble in the future.

Or was he someone who could help me change for the better? Maybe, I had to do something; either to persuade him in any way to be at my side or to bribe him if he would decide to refuse.

Honestly, I was a bit confused about my body. Previously, whenever I finished pleasuring myself, I didn’t have to do it again and again. Something has changed, and I believe Lee has something to do with it.

Should I use him to my advantage?

For quite some time, I have desired to be "normal," and I have never considered myself to be anything other than "normal." Regardless of the outcome, I had to risk my shot with Lee. After taking a shower and put on something appropriate for work, I went outside and waited for him at his door. When he emerged with wet hair and a fresh scent, I opened my mouth to speak but then closed it again when he said first.

“Good morning, Selena. You look amazing in that outfit!”

I smiled at him and said, “Let’s do it tonight.” Lee frowned at me, or he was probably confused about my statement. Was it hard to understand? I didn’t want to make it so vulgar and obvious, but it seemed there was no other way to let him know what I wanted to do with him. “I want to have sex with you tonight,” I repeated, and he almost lost his balance in total surprise.
