His Seduction

Chapter 81.

"What happened after?"
Riley sighed taking a sip of his iced matcha latte. He raised a brow in surprise taking a look at the glass.

It was his first time trying this drink, but he knew it wasn't the last.

Why was it so good?

"We kept... Bumping into each other- the tension between us was so thick it felt like I was suffocating"

She gazed into nothingness as her fingers unconsciously circled the rim of her cup.

It was as though she was reliving every moment right then and there.

"I started to feel guilty. I don't know why I hadn't really done anything. Maybe it was because I could tell that I was developing feelings for him, but Alfie and I hadn't discussed a poly relationship yet. Hell I didn't even know that he was polyamorous at the time

It felt like I was cheating, even though nothing happened... Until it finally did"

~Flashback~

"Ms. Lawson, I didn't know you were coming"

"Neither did I"
She mumbled closing the door behind her as she entered the large conference room. Hailey greeted the 14 other board members before glancing around the table for a moment to familiarize herself with the faces.

She paused after making eye contact with the one man she has been trying to avoid.

After their last encounter at a dinner party where she had ended up being pinned between a wall and his body due to a group of girls bumping into them on their way from the restroom, she had tried her best not to be in the same room as him.

Unfortunately, the Lawsons' and the Frosts' knew each other because they worked together.

Her parents had a large share in one of the Frost's companies and they met frequently through work related events, they also ran in the same social circles.

Logan was frequently present to these meetings as he was the selected heir to the empire, however as this was Hailey's first time, she didn't know he would be there.

Seeing him now in the flesh after feeling his hands encircle her waist, his breath on her neck and his scorching gaze blazing with a fire that made her entire body feel alive, only days prior was torturous.

She could still hear the words he had whispered so desperately into her ear

"You smell so. Fucking. Intoxicating. It's taking every ounce of my will to keep myself from ripping this sin of a dress from your body and allowing you to fuck me senseless. Please, just let me have a taste"

Shaking her head to rid herself of those memories she began to mentally chant Alfie's name like a spell hoping it would cast away whatever curse Logan seemed to have placed on her whilst heading to a seat.

Hailey almost screamed at her luck when she noticed that the only remaining chair was next to the man she was trying to avoid.

Without making it obvious she smoothed the invisible wrinkles on her skirt and blazer before taking a seat, avoiding his eyes the entire time.

The meeting commenced, but she found it difficult to concentrate as she could feel the burn at the side of her head where he was brazenly staring at her.

They got through without speaking a word to each other, but it wasn't for lack of trying on his part. However, Hailey made every effort to avoid speaking to him and even allowed others to answer the few questions he had brought up.

As soon as the conference ended she got to her feet and high tailed it out of there. Before she could reach the elevator a hand grasped hers and pulled her in the opposite direction.
