How to seduce a man?

I laughed to myself, recalling an article I’d read online.

Under the warm spray of the shower, my mind was busy imagining scenarios with Zayne.

I think I’ll need to get a little drunk to muster up the courage.

Just thinking about it has my cheeks heating up.

Can I really do this?

After my shower, I realized I wasn’t at home—I’d forgotten to bring my clothes to the bathroom. So, I had no choice but to walk out in nothing but my bathrobe.

Zayne’s going to see me.

Well, isn’t the whole point to seduce him? Step one: be confident. Be a woman on a mission.

Seduce Mr. Zayne.

I glanced toward the bathroom door as it opened, and Bella stepped out, wearing only a bathrobe.

I swallowed hard.

Her robe didn’t even cover her whole legs.

“B-Belle, dinner will be here in twenty minutes,” I managed to say.

“Ah, okay.”

She disappeared into her room, and I quickly darted into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.

I looked in the mirror, trying to get a grip on myself.

Maybe this was a bad idea, having Bella stay here.

I stripped off my clothes and let the cool water from the shower calm me down.

I’d never felt this way before—not even with Hailey.

My gaze drifted to the bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, all scented like roses. That floral scent was driving me crazy.

Bella just got here, and I already feel like this. How am I supposed to survive a whole month?

I froze when there was a knock on the bathroom door.

I turned off the shower.

“Yes?”

“Z, where’s the hair dryer?”

“It’s in the cabinet. Hold on.”

I grabbed a towel, wrapped it around my waist, and opened the door.

His hair was wet.

His body was still wet.

His six-pack was practically begging me to touch it.

I bit my lower lip, eyeing his mouth.

What would it feel like to kiss those lips?

I’d dreamed about it since high school, and after all these years, it’s still what I want most.

I didn’t back down as he stepped closer.

Our eyes locked.

His gaze darkened when I didn’t look away.

“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked in that husky voice of his.

That voice alone is seducing me.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“Damn it,” I heard him mutter under his breath.

“I’ll get the—”

“No, stay in your room, Bella.”

But he was still only wearing a towel. What if the food delivery person was a woman?

“Wait!”

Zayne stopped, looking at me in confusion.

I checked the screen to see who was at the door.

Alright, it’s a guy.

“Never mind. Here, give me the hair dryer.”

I took it from his hand, determined now more than ever. I wouldn’t stop until Zayne was mine.

I’d lost him once. Not this time.

*Go Bella*- from Miss A 🙈😂
