All Chapters of Seduction: The taste of Lust: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Leonard's PovI went inside the newsroom looking for that idiot when the background noise of a news report froze me. Mr. Jones was the head of the Times-News channel and my close friend, I wanted to ask him about his meeting with Nicole when I heard few crewmen saying Veronica's name. I look around the room and saw him personally hosting the news which was strange cause he only covers important exclusive news reports. I walked forward and few workers recognized me as they scooted over to the side giving me space to walk."Now bringing you to the night of truth, the horror that surrounded Veronica Matthews has come into the light. Taking an exclusive look at the interview which she had to stop in the middle because of a surprising revelation that shocked the entire industry. Let's take a view to the recently covered interview of Miss Matthews"I didn't understand any of the things he said just now, what interview? and what truth? I turn my head to the screen that played a video clip

Leonard's povAfter last night, it's easy to say that I'm officially tired. Not only did Veronica hug me the entire night, she even fell asleep in my arms. I had to stay like that in the living room while she was sleeping in my arms. Even my slightest movement of picking her up or adjusting my position was waking her, so I didn't have any option except stay like that with her. Not that I'm complaining, the sound of her breathing and her face resting so closely near my heart was already enough for the pain my back will face tomorrow. I even found myself drifting off sooner than expected, it wasn't until six in the morning that I felt the sunlight on my face that woke me up. I looked down to see her still sleeping. I tried to pick her up and move her to the bedroom when she slowly shifted and cup my waist with her hands, nuzzling closer to my neck.I bit my lips and look at the ceiling that seems like a great place to divert my attention and breathe normally, Thankfully, she didn't

Veronica's POV"What the fuck is wrong with me?""Veronica calm down" Kelly blows a puff of air on her newly polished gray nails while listening to my freak show of regret that I literally hampered myself with. In just two minutes everything went haywire, we were having such a good time discussing babies and stuff but now here I am roaming around in my living room like a freaking idiot. When I cut the call with Leonard it took me some time to realize what I asked him, " Seasons, fucking seasons" I bit my lip and massage my temples, "You know there are like five hundred restaurant chains, bars may be more than that in New York but I have to go with Seasons" "You have a date and you're freaking out that's totally normal" she rolls her eyes showing zero interest in my agitated hysteria which by far has increased hearing her say the exact thing I was denying."It's not a date" I made myself clear but who am I kidding she knows that I'm lying, hell I know it too, I just hope Leonard do

LeonardLast night I somehow convinced her to stay the night here and gladly she didn't argue. It was very late and I really didn't want her to go. Now it's eight in the morning and I don't want to wake up. She was in my arms sleeping and as much as I want to think that we had sex the truth was something else, she didn't want me to sleep on the couch so we both agree to sleep on the bed as two mature people who wouldn't do anything.Well surely I was planning on killing myself when she said that but all those resistance thought disappeared when we actually laid together on the bed.I seriously had the best sleep in a very long time and it became even better when in the middle of the night she surprised me with a sudden cuddle. She snuggled herself closer to my body and we both slept like that, hanging in each other's arms, away from the world.From time to time during the night, I would stare at her and I know it sounds creepy to watch a person sleep but after our argument, I was sca

Veronica's PovEd hasn't said a word to me after that, we are still in the living room except for my mom, who was sleeping in my room. She had fun catching on to my life through my friends but the exhaustion from the flight hit her and made her cranky so to save myself and everybody else, I asked her to rest.Now, it was eleven-thirty and as much as I want to crash on my bed and sleep I know Ed's non-responsiveness towards me will not let me have a peaceful sleep. One of them already knows that the rumors are true, actually two of them, Kelly as well, and now that the rest also knows about the rumors might as well tell them too that it's true.I clink my wine glass catching all their attention, "guys" I stand up and centered myself, "as you know there are a lot of rumors about me and-""Leonard" Lexi interuppts,"Well yes," I smile and continue, "the more so reason to tell you guys that whatever they're saying-""Is not true, we know Veronica" Aiden raises his beer can and clinks it
