TOUCH OF SIN

Chapter seventeen

Sherylin pov:

His silence was killing me. He hadn't looked at me again since we got in the car. Even when Seth dropped as off he didn't bother waiting for me. he just made it inside without waiting on me as always. I looked at Seth who just gave me a small smile as I stepped out of the car and waved him off.

I felt cold and it had nothing to do with the weather. I stepped inside but he was nowhere in sight. I entered the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water. I pressed my back against the wall and sighed. This wasnt how I had planned tonight to go but somehow I always happened to attract trouble whenever I went. And now I managed to anger the only person in this universe who showed me kindness. I felt tired and sighed as I headed upstairs. I thought about going to his room but decided against it when I remembered what happened the last time I went in there I shrugged the idea off. I didn't even care about changing as I threw my tired body on the covers and passed out almost immediately.

I jolted awake or was it the sound of deep laughter. I looked at the bedside table clock and it was 11am. Damn it it was almost noon. I dragged my sore body to the bathroom and jumped in the shower after fighting to taking off my lingerie and the pink pony, my scalp was sore from wearing the ponytail all night. I changed into a pair of leggings and an oversized t-shirt and dragged my body down the stairs. When i stepped into the kitchen all the laughter died and two pairs of eyes turned to look at me, one dark and one dark brown. The dark brown eyes danced with amusement as the owner whistled and I remembered him from the first night. I didnt have a better look at him that night because he had his tongue deep in Mildreds throat. The dark pair were narrowed as they stared at me with a hint of irritation in them.

“O Wesley I didnt know you brought a date from last night. I thought you said no women, you are such a hypocrite." He said and Wesley's jaw ticked. He ignored his friend and jumped off the stool as he approached me. His built was a bit bulky than Wesleys but he was a little shorter than Wesley. His eyes had crinkle on the sides a sign that he smiled a lot and as he approached me he had a boyish grin and I wondered how the two were friends because they were nothing alike.

“Hey sweetheart I'm Legend but the ladies call me daddy."

I blushed and stretched my hand to greet his larger one but he swept me into a hug and span me around like I weighed nothing. He set me down and smiled widely ignoring the death glares Wesley was sending his way.

"Come on mom she is just so cute and I needed a hug after you abandoned my cute self at the club yesterday, Again." He whined and Wesley rolled his eyes when he called him mom. I fidgeted with the hems of my t-shirt as I moved to pour myself some coffee and sat opposite the two hot gentlemen feeling small. Wesley glared at me I could basically see smoke coming out of his ears. His friend on the other hand gave him an amused smile.

“So sweet cheeks how did you convince Mr. grumpy pants to bring you to his house? Legend asked me grinning. I shrank into the stool searching for the right words to say.
'Ooh he bought me to be his entertainer  oh he as my first client who I almost fucked and lost virginity to and he paid my debt.' My thoughts run wild.

“Leave her alone legend." Wesley glared at his friend. "Sherylin could you excuse us for minute." He voice command and I was more than happy to get out of there.

I sat on the coach in the living room and stared at the black screen as I sipped my coffee. A few second later the front door opened and shut before Wesley's large figure walked into the living room his dominating alluring cologne filling the living room and all I wanted was to pull him close and inhale it deeper. He sat beside me on the coach, his dark hues taking me in.

“Thank you. I said and he gave me a strange look.

“For what? he asked resting his back on the seat.

“For, not letting me explain myself to your friend and for last night for standing up for me against Lucy." His jaw clenched at the mention of last night.

“Is that what you want to be doing?" He asked anger filling those dark orbs. I looked away at the intensity behind his eyes knowing what he was asking me.

“Is that what you want to be doing? Dancing half naked in a club and letting every man touch you?" he basically growled. Tears burnt my eyes but I knew he was right to ask. He had just paid for my freedom from being a prostitute and the next thing he is finding me right back where he saved me from. But again I felt a little angry I didn't ask for that life and I was just paying the rest of my debt.

“Unlike some of you some of us dont come into this world with millions already in our accounts ready to be spent. "I spit and a cruel smirk graced his plum lips. "I have to pay my debts to Lucy and sorry if some debts cant be paid by money." I said my vision blaring as tears fell down my cheeks. I looked away not wanting him to see me cry because of his mean question.

“Sherylin" That deep baritone called my name but I refused to look at him as my lips trembled.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you" He said his voice gentle and my eyes snapped to him.

“What debt do you mean that cant be paid with money?" He asked as he handed me a white piece of cloth. I snatched it and cleaned my tears which just kept falling.

“My mother before she died she was a stripper in night owls and when she fell sick she asked for a loan from Lucy." I sniffled. He included three pole dances together with the money which my mother was going to pay if she got well but she, but she passed I finished in a small voice.

“That canning bitch." He cursed as he shook his head in disbelieve. His sculpted jaw clenched as he ground his teeth.

“So is dancing half naked the only way to pay it? he asked determination written all over his face.

“The only other way is a private dance up at the VIPs and only the pros get a chance. I'm just a beginner and it would take some years to be selected for the VIP section." I explained.

“Mmmh" He hummed as he rubbed his chin between his thumb and forefinger.

"Come here" He said opening his arms and I crawled into his arms ready. He squeezed me in his arms and I immediately felt relaxed.

"I'm sorry" I whispered into his chest"

"Its okay princess I didn't know it was necessary for you to do this" He cooed. 

Being this close to him filled my stomach with butterflies and I was suddenly aware if our close proximity.

I tried to stay as still as possible not to ruin this moment. I was afraid he'll snap and let me go if I made any sudden movements like before. I'll let him be the first to make a move.

Enjoy 😍😍
