Tempting Fate

Chapter 12: She Left Him Hang

(Semi-Mature Content)

Reed leaned into the nook as he watched Emy cook. She turned her back on him and was so busy that she seemed very good at what she was doing. Reed looked at Emy’s back. She was wearing a simple dress that, in Reed’s eyes, it was sleepwear. Her hair has a hair clam, so her long neck is noticeable.

“You don’t have to work hard. We can order,” said Reed.

Emy turned to him. “You know, Mr. Reed Greyson, food tastes better when mixed with love.” Reed’s eyebrows rose. “Taste what I cooked. You might love me after so that I don’t lose to you.”

Reed half smiled as he stared at Emy. She averted her eyes from noticing that he was already undressing her just by looking at her.

“What’s with that love, and you seem to believe too much?” Reed asked.

Reed leaned over Emy. Emy dropped the vegetables in the casserole before answering Reed’s question.

.....

“I’ll introduce you to who love is,” said Emy.

“I’m not interested,” Reed said with a laugh.

Emy smiled as she faced Reed. “Then let’s have a bet.”

“Bet?” Reed asked.

“Yes, bet. You will fall in love with me,” said Emy.

Reed chuckled. “Seriously? You’ve lost.”

“We’re not starting yet,” said Emy. “You, you might lose. Don’t underestimate me.”

Reed didn’t answer yet. He just stared at Emy. Later, she scooped up what she was cooking, blew it, and then put it in Reed’s mouth.

“Taste it,” said Emy.

“Why?” Reed asked in astonishment.

“To let me know if the taste is okay. Taste it,” said Emy.

Reed took Emy’s hand, then slowly sipped the soup. Reed couldn’t believe it. Emy’s cooking was delicious as if she were an expert in cooking. He looked at Emy.

“So?” Emy waits for Reed’s reaction. “Do you have anything to say? Is it delicious or lacking in ingredients? ”

“It tastes ...” Reed said. Emy stared at him, waiting for him to say something. Reed smiled. “It tastes fine.”

Emy frowned. “Fine? Just fine? ”

Reed chuckled. “Why? You ask, and you will not believe it. ”

Emy frowned. “Don’t eat.”

“Wait, what? Why?” Reed asked curiously.

Emy ignored Reed and started setting the dining table.

——-

That night, it surprised Emy when she came out of the bathroom. Reed was standing next to its door and leaning against the wall while folding both of his arms. It even surprised Emy when Reed suddenly grabbed her and pulled her closer to his body. Reed immediately wrapped his arms around Emy’s body.

“Are you ready for the whole night?” Reed asked.

“No,” said Emy. “Can we skip tonight? We did that all night last night.”

Reed frowned. It surprised Emy to feel the soft bed behind her. She didn’t realize that Reed had already laid her down. He held her two hands above her head. Reed was already on top of her as well.

Reed started kissing her. ‘Damn, here it goes again...’ Emy thought.

She knew Reed’s kisses were the ones that drained her strength. Reed dominated inside her mouth. He’s tasting every inch of her mouth, sucking and swirling his tongue with her. One of Reed’s hands was already caressing her thigh. She wore only a bathrobe and panties but didn’t have a bra. Emy didn’t expect Reed to return after he left before dinner, thinking that he was angry at her joke earlier.

Reed’s caress rose and went inside her robe. Emy felt his warm palm on her thigh up to her waist, where it surprised her. Reed measured her waist; then, his hand rose to her rib cage and breast.

“Oh, my gosh ...” Emy said softly.

Emy’s body gets aroused with every stroke of Reed’s palm in every part of her body, and her body becomes restless. Reed could feel the excitement in Emy’s body, even as he was getting heated up. He had his palms on her breast, which were exactly right on his palm. Reed released his lips to hers and went down to her neck. Emy groaned at what Reed was doing. Reed still wouldn’t let go of her hands, so she couldn’t do anything to push him, even though she knew she didn’t have the strength to do so.

Gradually, Reed untied her robe and then slightly tore off a part of it, and Emy’s one breast was exposed to Reed’s face. Reed’s lip went down lower and lower until it reached the top of Emy’s mountains. He could not ignore the delicious dish exposed in front of him. He would taste and play it again like he did last night. Emy’s body lifted on the bed as she felt Reed’s tongue on top of her breast.

“Aah!” Emy moaned weakly.

Emy couldn’t explain why it felt so good at what Reed was doing to her body. It was like last night as if Reed was driving her crazy with every kiss and caress he made on her body. Reed’s mouth and tongue played with her nips several times. She felt heated up at that moment even though the air conditioning was blowing hard.

“Geez, Reed, what are you doing to me?” Emy whispered. “Oooh, damn, it feels so good.”

Reed slightly bit her nip, which lifted her back onto the bed again. She seemed to go crazy with that heavenly feeling. Her faint moan had sounded, and she was now getting aroused. She wants more than that. She wants to be filled.

“Emy, you are driving me crazy right now,” Reed whispered as he bit Emy’s earlobe and kissed her neck again. Reed can already feel Emy’s desire for him to enter her. He puts a kiss mark on every part of her body that passes through his lips. Mark that he was her first and will also be her last. Mark symbolizes that Emy is his.

“Emy, are you still awake?”

It was as if cold water had poured on Emy at that moment. “Reed, wait.. stop, please.”

“Why?” Reed asked.

“Tay, Tatay is outside my room,” said Emy.

Reed’s grip on Emy loosened, so Emy quickly got up and approached the door after tying her robe again. Reed sat on the bed, his face full of frustration.

Emy left the room and left Reed inside. Reed looked at his reflection in the mirror. The color of his eyes changed. He couldn’t believe it. No one had done it to him before. He was always the choice when he was with someone and having an intimate moment, but Emy. Emy chose her father more than him.

“I told you, something obscure humans, and it is the emotion called love.”

Reed turned to Devin, sitting on the sofa while looking at him.

“What are you doing here?” Reed asked.

“Oh, I’m watching a delightful scene, but it makes me hanging, isn’t it, cousin?” Devin said. “I can feel your pain in your lower half.”

Reed did not answer. He’s not in the mood because of what had happened. He was about to get Emy, but her father ruined his plan.

“If I were you, I would remove obstacles,” Devin said, then he stood up and walked closer to the room’s terrace. “You can’t give her what she wants, Reed. You can’t love her.” Before Devin left the balcony, he spoke again. “Go back to the realm and give up the crown. The simple job of choosing who will be your queen is still tricky for you. ”

“I am looking for someone worthy. The smart ones that will not be fooled lightly by demons like you, Devin,” said Reed.

Devin laughed. “In that case, don’t stop me from doing what I do.”

Reed frowned. “What are you going to do?”

“I will help you get the queen you want. If Emy is that woman, I will remove the obstacles between the two of you.” Devin said, then he vanished.

Reed left the room with his palm clenched.
