Flames Of Devotion [ON HOLD]

A Night Of Betrayal.

[FLASH BACKS] ~

DESIREE:  What's wrong, babe?

BIANCA:  He's been drinking again, D..

DESIREE [thoughts] I began to feel a raging storm inside of me, i felt overwhelmed & intense, and honestly fed up.

DESIREE:  Is that motherfu*ker beating on you again?

BIANCA:  It's not as bad as it was before..

DESIREE:  What the f*ck, B?! How dare you let someone put their hands on you! Do you know who the f*ck you are?!

  PRESENT TIME. SAN, DIEGO.

  I had finally got my mind off yesterday. Seeing a lifeless body right in front of you, is not something you'd want to see. My heart was still pounding from the whole incident, what did I really just get myself into? How can someone take the life of their own employee, for someone they don't even know? Could this be done to me if I fu*ked up? I have to be careful when dealing with these kind of people.

DESIREE POV.
The day had passed, and it was finally time to go on a "date" with this man i'd never even seen in person. I don't know whether to be prepared for the worst, or to brace myself for the unexpected.

DESIREE • Getting ready for this date, she picks out a seductive outfit, once she's finally ready, she leave the house, driving to the restaurant where they will meet. She finally arrives after a few minutes of being on the road, she enters the restaurant, and it's empty.. Desiree looks around in confusion. •

VANCE • Seductively whispers in Desiree's ear • Looking for me, Love?

DESIREE: [thoughts] Hearing that deep, velvety voice behind me, immediately sent chills throughout my body.. • She turns around to look at him • [Thoughts] Damn! Are all the men in this kind of business attractive?

DESIREE : • she reaches her hand out • Pleasure to meet you, sir.

VANCE: The pleasure is all mine.

[VANCE POV]
The moment I saw this women walk in, I knew I wanted her. God damn, is this the same women running an art business? She's breathtakingly beautiful. Why is she here with me? This makes me wonder, what is she really in for?

VANCE: So tell me, what are your true intentions?

DESIREE: What do you mean? I'm simply here for business.

VANCE: How about we have a seat? • he leads her to a booth, in the middle of the restaurant & they both sit •

VANCE: So, are you considering selling me your business?

DESIREE: • giggles • No, of course not. I was thinking we could collaborate.

VANCE: And why the hell would I want to do that?

DESIREE: Well why not? Its not like you'll be losing anything from it, we'll only be gaining more money by working together.

VANCE: Hmm.. Go on.

DESIREE: Well, i'll let you run your money through my business, as you wanted.. And I can get 35% of everything you get.

Vance lets out a sarcastic laugh..

VANCE: 35%? You're crazy! For a small art business? I decline this offer.

DESIREE: [Thoughts] Why the fu*k was everyone trying to belittle my company? This sh*t is really starting to get to me! • she gets her knife out, pointing it directly at his throat •

DESIREE: Do you have any idea who the f*ck I am?

VANCE : • chuckles, he places his hand on her thigh. and lowers the knife with his other hand , brining his face closer to her, and whispers in her ear • Don't ever do that again, got it?

DESIREE • she places the knife on the booth •

VANCE: Your so f*cking hot, you know that?

DESIREE: {thoughts} A "married man" my ass.

VANCE: I'll agree with your offer

DESIREE: Seriously? But why-

VANCE: Under one condition. • he pulls back from her ear , holding eye contact with her •

DESIREE: • with an ambivalent look on her face • What?

• Vance slowly begins to move his hand higher on her thigh •

DESIREE: What happened to you being a "married man" , huh?

VANCE: We can forget about that just for one night.

DESIREE: {Thoughts} I mean, was it really that bad of an idea? I'd be getting a sh*t ton of money from this, and all I had to do was sleep with the man? I mean, honestly I need the relaxation, but again, he's married.. AND he's the enemy of my ally.. Would this be a good decision for my business, or would this screw this up with the people i'm working with? You know what? F*ck it.

DESIREE: Fine, whatever. As long as i get my money.

They soon left the restaurant.. his car followed after hers.

DESIREE'S POV
Once we arrived at my house , he began to roughly kiss me, not even giving me a chance to lock the door behind me, and not gonna lie, i was loving this. He picked me up , continuing to kiss me, while carrying me to my bedroom, once we reached the bed, he laid me on the bed, continuing his kisses all over my body. We removed our clothing piece by piece, all my thoughts had flushed away, and the only thing i was focused on was him. Once we were fully unclothed, We locked eyes, he slowly leaned in to kiss me again, this time more passionately.

During the sexual Encounter going on in Desiree's bedroom, she had a visitor unknowingly, It was her assistant, Melanie. Melanie creeped into the house easily, as the front door was not locked. She wonder through the house, following the loud moans coming from Desiree's bedroom, the door had been left cracked, she looked inside & could not believe her eyes. She pulled out her phone & began to record this.. Soon leaving the house like she had never even been there.

THATS THE END OF THE 6TH CHAPTER!

• Why did Melanie sneak into Desiree's home? & WHY did she record what she'd seen?
• Is vance serious about his deal with Desiree?
