Sinful Pleasure (#1 of "Trilogy of Pleasure")

Chapter 4

Bradford Slater. He was standing in front of me. And he looked just as surprised as I felt.

"OMG! Mr. Slater! I can't believe it!"

"Elizabeth! Shit!"

"Mr. Slater, I am so sorry! I... This is..."

I was in shock. I tried to put my clothes on, but I couldn't coordinate my movement.

"No, Elizabeth. I am sorry."

Yes, I had some dirty thoughts about him, but that... That was real. The man I was chatting with... The man who saw every part of my body... Who'd made me do such dirty things... He was Bradford Slater—my ex's father.

"I need to get out of here!" I almost screamed after I finally managed to put on my clothes.

"Elizabeth, wait. Calm down. The situation is awkward for both of us."

"Awkward? Is that how you would describe it? It's disgusting! This is so wrong."

"I know. But please, calm down!"

"Damn, what have I done?"

"You did nothing, Elizabeth. Nothing has happened. Calm down."

"Stop telling me to calm down! You are Leo's father."

"Exactly. Let's forget everything. I promise I will not tell my son anything about this misunderstanding!"

"Right now, I don't give a shit about your son! He dumped me so he could fuck other women!"

"What?"

"And now I see who he inherited his predilections from."

"I didn't know. I am sorry."

"You are sorry? God, I did such perverted things. And you watched everything. I am so ashamed."

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. Come on, let's get drinks and talk calmly. You're an adult, aren't you? God, tell me you're an adult!"

"I am 22!"

"Thank God! Come on. We both need something strong. We will talk, and after that, we will forget about this. Okay?"

"You saw me... You saw me doing those things..."

I clutched my head with my hands and still couldn't believe all of this was really happening.

Mr. Slater approached me, took my hands, and looked me in the eye.

"Shh. I am feeling the same way. But now, we need to act rationally. Come with me."

He led me to the bar and ordered me a whiskey.

"Drink a little and calm down. I'll be right back."

From where I sat, I could still see him. He called over Shania. It was clear from his expression that the conversation would not be pleasant.

"Shania!"

"What is it, Brad?"

"Why the hell did you give my son's girlfriend access to the chat?"

"Your son's girlfriend? The girl right there?"

"Yes, the girl right there!"

"She was marked in my schedule as a 'special'."

"Not that kind of special, damn it! She was marked as VIP!"

"Ooops. My bad."

"Your bad? Are you kidding me, Shania? Do you know what things I made her do? This is my son's girlfriend, for fuck's sake!"
