CHAPTER 8: VIBRATOR BLACKMAIL

Zara Langford

My phone almost slipped from my hands.

What the hell!!

The fucking bastard. I gazed at the text messages again and my teeth slammed together.

The text reads:

“Don't forget to set your damn alarm. I don't wanna lose a flight because of your carelessness.”

“And yes dump those heels if you don't know the proper way to use them, I don't want reporters making headlines about my personal assistant breaking a leg while climbing down the plane steps”

The fuck!

Who the fuck does he think he is? Asking me to set my alarms simply because I was late on my first day?

What a prick! A fucking asshole!

Sucker!

“Damn it, Declan!” I screamed, and I tossed my phone over the bed. Running my fingers through my hair.

He is acting just like my father—Bossy… demanding… behaving as if I'm his property.

My room door closed with a thud. My neck turned towards the door. And there she was… Natalie.

I sighed.

Can she ever knock?

Natalie doesn't understand what privacy really is.

I keep wondering if her hand will break if she ever knocks on it.

I closed my eyes and opened them again and she was already sitting beside me on the bed.

“Natalie?”

“Yes, Princess Zara,” she replied, blinking her lashes repeatedly.

Her way of always playing innocent, like she didn't do anything.

“Remind me again why we are still friends”

How I survived this girl till now is what still amazes me. She has been my best friend since my childhood days.

“Well… “she placed two fingers on her forehead pretending to be deep in thought. “Because you love me so much and you definitely can't do without me”

And I hate to admit it, but she is right. She has been an amazing friend. Staying with me through my darkest.

“How many times do I have to remind you to knock before finding your way into my room?” I inquired and she totally ignored me going for my phone which I pulled out of her reach.

She pouted. gave me those puppy-dog eyes that usually melt me. But definitely not this time.

“What if I were naked, Natalie?”

She burst out laughing. So loud that it was getting into my skin.

She placed her hands on her mouth trying to muffle her laughter back in.

Does she think this is funny? There is nothing funny about this?

“Wait..” she held out her arm. She stood up, coming to stand in front of me.

“Naked? Like naked, naked?” She asked, trying to swallow back another laugh.

Okay, this is no longer funny.

“Yes, naked”

She scoffs. Walked over to the closet, rummaged through it, and returned with something she was hiding behind her back.

What is she up to this time? Hope not another lingerie incident?

She stood a few inches from where I sat. Cleared her throat and smiled widely at me.

Okay, now this is getting scary.

I stretched my neck trying my best to see if I could see what she was hiding behind her back. She shifted the direction before my eyes caught sight of it.

“Not so fast, beautiful.” She moved to the side, preventing me from having a further peek.

Now she has my full attention. Can she just let the cat out of the bag already?

“You are complaining about me bumping into you naked, right?” she asked, her face looking serious for the first time today.

I nodded, sitting up.

Finally, we are getting somewhere.

“How about you worry about me telling your date I have bumped into you playing with this down there” she purred her eyes moving down to my lap.

Playing down there? My eyes went down to my lap, and they literally increased thrice in size as the realization of what she meant hit me.

Wait, what!

“What!” My ass shot up from the bed but she held two fingers that looked like the shape of a gun which made me freeze dead on my track.

Shit! Natalie is enjoying this! Using our freeze signal on me.

The two fingers in the shape of a gun are a signal we use to signal to ourselves which means “freeze”

No matter where you are you must obey the signal. It's a rule we made, and it has been fun. Until now.

“Good girl” she grinned and my fist clenched into a fist.

This girl will be the death of me. She has bumped into me countless times satisfying myself with toys.

She pulled out a thick curved purple vibrator—the kind with one fat end for inside and a smaller clit stimulator on the other. She waved it teasingly in front of my face.

My chest was rising. What if I just break the rules? Just this once.

“Don't even think about it” Natalie advised, like she knew what was going through my head.

Maybe she does. She knows me inside out. My head was thudding.

Keep it cool Zara. Breathe. In. Out.

“Recognized this? Of course yes you will… You used them last night” she laughed, going to sit on the bed without unfreezing me.

“Natalie, I swear I'll kill you” I said through gritted teeth, turning my neck to see her sitting on the bed with her legs crossed.

God! How did I even agree to the rules in the first place? It has always been useful… but right now... It is totally useless.

“How about I just tell Declan how you used them… in detail” she smirked, thumbing the power button of the vibrator. And the powerful buzz sound from it echoed around the room!

Damn it!

“Please, just unfreeze me… I'm not up for your games tonight” I pleaded, my legs are already tired and would stop carrying my weight if I don't sit.

She dropped the vibrator on the bed… folded her hands on her knees, her head tilted to the side with a raised brow.

“What did you say?”

I sighed. She knows how to get me. How to fucking push my buttons!

“I said you should please unfreeze me…. I'm feeling sleepy and I have a flight to catch tomorrow morning” I said, exhaling deeply.

“With your man, and I can't afford to be late again. Your choice of heels already almost made me get chewed out.” I quickly added, knowing that involving Declan's name would do the magic.

And just like I predicted. Her lips stretched into a smile. Her eyes looked all dreamy.

She exhaled softly with a bright smile. “unfreeze… You can leave the spot” she said standing up from the bed like she already knew the next thing I would do.

And yes… whatever she was thinking in that head is right. I'll definitely have her head tonight. She needs to have a taste of her own medicine.

Before I could turn my head she was already out of my room leaving my door wide ajar.

Natalie is really a pain in the ass. I'll miss her during these three days with He-devil.

I fell on my bed… and my mind went to the text messages.

Asshole. Why do I feel I'd regret being his date?

Are we gonna act like real couples?

Whatever the answer may be… I can't wait to find out.

Three days. One devil.

The time is ticking. Tick tock.
