Tempting Fate

Chapter 7: Tempting

As Reed watched Emy walk into the building, Devin appeared in the passenger seat next to him. He smiled and stared at Emy at that moment as well.

“You reject women in our world because you want a human?” Devin asked.

“It’s none of your business, Devin,” said Reed.

Devin turned to him with a smile. “You are putting yourself low too much on that human? Why don’t you go back to the realm and search there? You haven’t explored the entire kingdom yet; you still have seen little. ”

“What are you doing here?” Reed asked.

“I’m here to find out what’s keeping you busy instead of ruling the entire realm?” said Devin. “If you don’t want to, I’m here, ready to wear the crown in your place.”

“Don’t daydream, cousin,” said Reed.

.....

“I don’t know why you try so hard to seduce that woman. I know she is beautiful, but what does she know about you? Do you think she’ll like you if she knows what you are?” said Devin.

“You don’t even care about that. I know what I’m doing,” said Reed.

Devin grin. “Remember, she is a human. A human being will never accept a demon like you. No one chooses the demon. ”

Devin suddenly disappeared in front of Reed. He took a deep breath.

A few hours later, Emy received calls from her father. It surprised her to learn that Reed also gave her father a phone to have contact with her, but from time to time, her father calls even though she still has a client.

“There is a clubhouse near that unit so that the kids will enjoy the place. The school is also close, so it is not a hassle for the parents and the child,” said Emy.

The couple nodded. “The house looks nice, hon.” said the woman.

“That’s great, Ma’am. You will not regret buying that,” said Emy.

Each model house stands within the area. Her Manager moved Emy to the site for more sales. She also has a partner, Jasmin, who is with the clients and will tour the entire subdivision on their tour bus.

“In that case, can we see the actual unit?” the man asked.

“Yes, sir, please. There is a mini car waiting outside,” said Emy. “Jasmin, join Sir and Ma’am on tour.”

“Okay,” Jasmin said, smiling.

“Do your best, so you have a commission right away,” Emy whispered.

“Yes, ma’am,” Jasmin said.

Emy was sitting on the bed after her clients left. She took the phone out of her pocket and saw 20 missed calls and 25 text messages. Emy couldn’t help but smile. She didn’t know her father would be that fond of using his new phone.

“What’s their problem at home?” Emy asked herself; then she dialed her father’s number.

Emy’s father answered her call in a few rings. “Hello, Tay. Why were you calling earlier? I’m sorry, I have a client, so I didn’t answer. ”

“We are okay now. I’m sorry, Emy. We don’t know how to use the shower in the bathroom. Your siblings don’t know how they will take a bath. Fortunately, the maid was here and taught us. I’m sorry if I disturbed you.” said Eddie.

“It’s okay, Tay. We don’t have that in our old house. Anyway, have you eaten?” Emy asked.

“Yes, the maid, Maria, cooks a delicious lunch earlier,” said Eddie.

“What are you doing now, Tay?” Emy asked.

“We watch on the huge TV. It was like we were in a movie theater of its sheer size. It also amazed your siblings at the sounds real.” Eddie said, laughing.

Emy smiled. “Enjoy it, Tay. I’ll call later. ”

“Okay, don’t forget to eat. Bye,” said Eddie.

Emy put her phone in her pocket, smiling. She couldn’t even see, but she could imagine her family’s situation without seeing a bucket in the bathroom. She couldn’t help but laugh.

“You look beautiful when you’re smiling.”

Emy looked at the door of the model house room. Reed stood there, with both hands in his pants pockets and leaning against the wall.

“What are you doing here?” Emy asked. “How did you know I was here?”

“I am watching you,” said Reed.

Emy frowned. “Why?”

Reed approached Emy and bowed slightly until his face was in front of Emy, who was still sitting on the bed.

“Because I enjoy watching you,” said Reed.

“What? Seriously?” Emy asked. “And do you have nothing else to do in life? Like working or any busy schedule? ”

Instead of answering, Reed touches his lip to hers. ‘Geez, here’s his seductive kiss again,’ Emy thought.

Reed secretly smiled as he read Emy’s thoughts. Reed held the back of Emy’s head and her back as he slowly laid her on the bed. He also took Emy’s hand and hung it around his neck.

Without Emy’s knowledge, Reed had laid her down, and her two hands were already dangling from his neck. Gradually Reed’s lips slid to her neck, her breathing getting heavier again. Emy felt Reed’s hand caress her waist as if measuring it.

“I didn’t know you have a small waist,” Reed whispered.

“W-what?” Emy said as she gasped for air.

“Miss Emy?”

It was as if someone had poured cold water on Emy. She looked at the door, and there stood her gay friend in the office.

“Are you sleeping?” Avery asked.

Emy swallowed, then stood up and moved slightly away from the bed. Reed suddenly disappeared above her. She turned around, and Reed was no longer in the room.

‘Where did he go? He will suddenly appear and then vanish.’ Emy thought.

“Ahm, no. I just tried to make sure the bed was comfortable,” said Emy. She knew she was lying lame, but she couldn’t think of anything else at that moment.

“O-okay,” said Avery. “It’s better that you go back to the office.”

“Ah, okay, I’ll follow you. I will just...” said Emy.

The gay frowned. Instead, Avery approached Emy and hugged her arm.

“To make sure you’ll follow,” said Avery.

Emy smiled. She was two years older than Avery, but they seemed to be the same age. Emy glanced around the room again before finally leaving and saw Reed at the door with a mischievous smile.
