Temptress

34|Ruin Them Both

Sereia's POV

He continued to give me soft kisses on my shoulder as I smiled.

"Stop," I laughed as I tried to concentrate on finishing the financial report. "My boss is going to kill me if I don't finish this by tomorrow."

"No, he won't," he said as he pulled me down on the bed with him.

It had been a long day at work, but we were back in my bedroom.

He came back.

"Elliot," I whined as I tried to stretch for my laptop.

He hovered over me and began to kiss me.

"Please me-" he continued to kiss me. "Finish the-"

I eventually gave in to his tempting kisses.

"I can't get enough of you," he said. "You're addicting."

I continued to kiss him to refrain from telling him that he was the best thing that ever happened to me in the last six years.

I'll scare him off.

After a few more minutes of nonstop kissing, he pulled away and settled in between my thoughts.

His head rested on my stomach and my hands combed through his hair.

"What did you want to tell me this morning?" he asked and I felt a pulse in my stomach.

This is not a good time to tell him.

I should wait a little longer.

Am I selfish for wanting him a little longer?

I've gone 24 years of my life without having a real romantic connection with a man.

I had sex once when I turned 21 with a guy who was in my class, Jeff his name was.

I wanted to know what it felt like and he seemed like he knew it all.

I was such an inexperienced mess back then, and I still am.

No one tried to talk to me and even if they did, I wouldn't have let them.

It honestly wasn't that good and I never talked to him again.

"Oh, it was nothing," I lied. "I already forgot."

"Okay," he replied as he took my hand and held it.

"Have you ever had sex before?"

The dumb words just flew out of my mouth.

Of course, he did. He's married.

I looked down to see him struggling to hold in his laugh. "Where is this coming from, Sereia?"

"I don't know," I frowned. "Well, have you?"

"Yes," he answered.

"With women other than Olivia?" I asked and he hesitated to answer.

"While I was married?" he asked. "Of course not."

"And before that?"

He nodded. "They were just some meaningless hookups. I didn't feel a thing for them."

"Well, do you feel a thing for me?" I asked and he looked up at me.

"Sereia-"

"Answer me," I told him. "Will I just be another meaningless hookup for you?"

He shook his head. "No, you won't. That's why I won't rush things with you."

I nodded my head when I felt satisfied with his answer.
