Desire and Temptation

Chapter 2-"Depravity"

                “You intentionally let him see it, didn’t you?” Luke probed as he laid his blazer on Leila’s shoulders.

                “Hmmmm. . .?”

                “I bumped into that transfer student on my way up here. His face was so much in shock that he didn’t even bother stopping and just continued to run. His face was so red he looked like a mashed tomato.”

                Leila chuckled but didn’t say a word. Though her face showed a sense of satisfaction.

                Luke stared at her and said “Don’t overdo it.”

                “yeah”

                “What are the two of you talking about?” Mathew asked approaching the both of them after tidying his self.

                “Nothing for you to worry about.” Luke replied as he buttoned up Leila’s clothes.

                “Tsssk. .  Whatever! Anyway, you’re here to pick Leila up?”

                “Yeah, I’ll send her home. You go home with Mark and John, they’re at the office.”

                “Fine!” Matthew snorted. But before leaving the room, he kissed Leila on the cheeks without warning. “Thanks for the treat!”

The sun had completely set. Riding on Luke’s motorbike, Leila circled her arms around him as they traveled silently along the road. It was the way to Leila’s little mansion. She had been living alone since she transferred school and her grandfather gave that house to her. Among the high-class houses in the premises, hers stood the most beautiful yet a lonely aura sounded it. For in that big house, there was no one but her. A maid went there every day for her food and house maintenance.

The door made a loud creak as Luke and Leila entered the house. A wide living room welcomed them with expensive looking sofa set and a large flat screen television that looked so brand new. Thick carpet covered the floor under the sofa set and heavy maroon curtains covered the large windows. Luke walked towards the sofa and sat while Leila headed to the kitchen. When she got back, she brought two canned beers with her. She handed one to Luke.

                “You’re staying for the night right?” Leila gently spoke as she placed herself beside him as she drunk the canned beer on her hands. “We don’t have class tomorrow so I want to laze around.” She continued with a chuckle.

                “You’re tired. Take a bath and go to sleep. Just take your dinner later, I’ll wake you up.”

                “Don’t worry about me. I can still go drink with you tonight. Teeheee~” with a teasing smile, Leila waved her beer on the air.

                “Hey, I won’t stop you if you want to play around but be careful of your actions.” Luke paused and turned to her with concerned eyes.

                “Don’t worry about it. I know what I’m doing.” She replied calmly and then gulped another from her drinks. “It’s not like anyone’s going to believe him if ever he goes around and tell everyone what he saw. And I don’t think he’d do that anyway.”

A moment of silence enveloped the whole room. Luke noticed Leila’s hand lifelessly falling and before the canned beer could completely reach the floor, he had seized it reflexively. With a sigh, he placed both his and Leila’s drink on the table and took hold of her. As what he said, Leila’s completely tired and now she had fallen asleep like a baby. Luke smiled and took hold of her body over his arm carefully, not wanting the little princess to be disturbed form her deep slumber. Leila had a slender and light body; it fitted her beautiful facial feature like a goddess of some ancient tale. Luke couldn’t help but want to monopolize her. No, not just him but the four of them felt the same way.
