The Temptress: Tempting the Devil’s son

CHAPTER 22: Jealous lover



“How did you do that?” She gushed, still stunned by his ability.

“I happened to have stayed around Magicians for some time, so I guess I learned a thing or two,” he shrugged playing with the strands of her hair.

He wasn’t planning on telling her who he really was. If she knew, she wouldn’t want to have anything to do with him, ever. And for this reason he was scared, scared of losing her, the only thing that kept him sane all these years. Sooner or later, she was bound to find out.

“Wow, that’s awesome!” she gaped. “Thank you!” She squealed, pulling his form into a bear hug. His body stiffened a little at the sudden gesture. He wasn’t really into hugs, his mother was well aware.

She pulled out of the hug and pecked him on his left cheek. His cheeks reddened a little and then he pulled his lips into a small smirk.

“Now, you’re getting all touchy huh? You can’t just get enough of me, can you?” He teased causing her cheeks to equally flush. She pushed him away and got off his desk.

“You ripped my panties to shreds. What do you expect me to wear?” She frowned, crossing her arms as she glared at him.

“Close your eyes!” He told.

“Why?”

“Just do it!”

“Fine!” She closed her eyes. Seconds later, she felt something silky touch her hands. When she opened her eyes, it was the lace pantie he had ripped. She didn’t seem surprised, it was as if she’d predicted something like this.

“Was fixing panties one of the things you learnt?” She questioned with a frown as she put her panties back on.

“Maybe,” he shrugged.

She pursed her lips and asked, “How many panties have you fixed?”

He smirked, realizing how jealous she was.

“Twenty including yours,” He answered with a shrug.

“Twenty! You’re such a big Casanova!” She half yelled and walked out of his office in anger, slamming the door in the process.

Great, now she’s mad. What a sweet jealous girl, he thought and smiled.

*******

Riri strode down the hallway in brisky steps. She was practicing seething in rage, she felt like ripping to shreds all the women he slept with in the past. It was driving her nuts.

She didn’t even understand why she was feeling this way. She told herself countless times that she didn’t care but the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

“What’s on your mind princess?” A familiar voice asked, startling her in the process.

“Beth! You scared shit outta me!” She screamed at her friend.

“You looked so absent minded, you didn’t even notice us,” Kim pointed out, worried. “Are you okay?”

“Oh my God, Riri. Your bandage is gone and so is the wound on your face!” Lia exclaimed in astonishment.

“Oh my God! That’s true. We didn’t even notice!” Kim squealed.

“Hmm. According to mythology, only Vampires and werewolves possess this kind of healing ability. Wait a minute, are you a vampire?!” Beth gushed.

“Vampires and werewolves don’t exist. Too many fantasy novels has gotten into your head!” Rolling her eyes, Kim dismissed.

“What? How else can she heal this fast?”

“You’re right, Beth, I am a vampire!” She bare her canine playfully. “And I’m gonna suck your blood!” She began chasing Beth who screamed and ran away.

She suddenly bumped into something hard causing her to stumble. She was about to hit the floor when a cal​lous hand held her waist, pulling her up.

Blue orbs met silvery grey as they gazed into each other’s souls. His gaze made butterflies flutter in her stomach, melting away all the anger she felt in her heart.

“Seems like your bumping into me is now becoming intentional.” He taunted, letting out a smug smile. She crimsoned at his words, placing her hands on his chest as tried to push him away but he tightened the grip on her waist.

“Are you still mad at me?” He whispered, his gaze falling on her lips. The urge to kiss those sweet lips of hers suddenly overwhelmed him but the watching eyes of her friends made him decide against it.

“Yes!” She tried to push him away but he even didn’t bulge.

“I’m sorry.” He mumbled an apology.

‘Apology not accepted!” She flushed. She didn’t even understand why he was apologizing. Was it for sleeping with women in the past? Why was she even mad in the first place? He was not her boyfriend!

“I bet I can apologize to you better later. See me in my office after the class. See you in class,” he winked. His hand sliped from her waist, letting her go. Her cheeks reddened in realization of what he meant.

“Pervert!”

He smirked and strode down the hall. She turned around and met the shocked faces of her friends. Her cheeks reddened even more when remembered that they had been there the whole time.

She suddenly felt the urge to bury herself in the deepest trench she could find. She was so embarrassed!

“Oh my God! I can’t believe that just happened!” Beth exclaimed, cleaning her eyes.

“I don’t believe it either,” Lia gushed as she glanced at Riri, stupefied.

“And you said I advised her,” Kim smirked.

“Don’t start.”

“You better fill us in and better start talking now!”

“We have a class now, so we better start leaving,” she rushed her words and hurried out of their midst. They didn’t back down as they hurried after her, bombarding her with questions that she wasn’t willing to answer.

Walking into the lecture hall, Professor Drake was already settled in and had just began his lecture. She blushed a little upon sighting him.

They all greeted him and went to their various seats. Luckily for her, her friends didn’t ask her any more questions and that was because the topic was a very crucial one and hard to understand, so everyone just listened and she was glad.

She was very much aware that it was only short lived as she was definitely bound to answer their questions.

A question was written on the board, he turned to the class and asked, “Who’s willing to try this one out?”

No one dared to raise up their hands, it looked very complex and hard to solve.

“Anyone?” He cast his gaze at the class. Riri bowed her head and prayed fervently not to be bring called upon. Of course, she knew the answer, she just didn’t want to answer it.

“Ariana, come answer this question.” She felt her heart skip a beat. Oh no!

“Come on, Riri, go answer your lover!” Kim teased with a smirk.

“He’s not my lover!” She gritted and stomped towards the white board. Her finger grazed against his as she took the marker from him. She felt cold shivers run down her spine at his feathery touch.

As she began solving the question on the board, she could feel his preying eyes watching her intently.

It was almost impossible to concentrate on what she was solving as his eyes wouldn’t leave her body. She wanted to scream at him to stop staring! He was making her wet to the core.

She suddenly felt the urge to wrap her arms around his neck and cling to him, so he could do whatever he wanted to do to her. She wanted him to touch her again like he did in his office earlier. Her body was yearning for this touch.

When she was done answering the question, she gave him back his marker and hurried back to her seat.

He studied the solution on the board and nodded impressively.

“Correct! For those of you who don’t understand, I’ll explain it to you guys so do pay attention.” He told and began explaining what was on the board.

When he was done with his lecture, he left the hall. Riri waited another two minutes and made to stand when Kim pulled her back down.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Kim questioned with furrowed brows.

“I’m pressed. I need to use to restroom,” she lied, her face was knoted in displeasure.

“You know you’re not very good at lying.” Kimberly pointed out, unimpressively.

“You’re going to meet professor Drake, ain’t you?” Beth asked the obvious.

She blushed. “What? No.”

“Another lie!”

“Just tell us, Riri. We are your friends, we won’t judge you,” Lia assured.

“Fine. You’re right, I was going to see him. Look, it’s just hard to explain what I feel for him.” She bit her lips and flushed.

“Are you in love with him?”

“I don’t think so. It’s just whenever I see him my heart paces and I get chills allover my body. His touch makes me loose control and brings a might wave of pleasure down my spine. Like electricity running through my body. He scares and excites me. I tell myself that it’s wrong but I can’t just bring myself to push him away.” She explained with a dreamy expression.

“Sounds you’re crazy about this guy!” Winking, Kim nudged at her.

“So, what are you gonna do about your boyfriend?”

“Honestly, I don’t know.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Seems like Riri is caught between two world. What’s she gonna do?
