"Let's make a bet." He said.
"What kind of bet?" I asked. "A challenge." He said. “A..A challenge.? I stammered. “Yes.” He rubbed his chin and nodded. My heart skipped a beat. "Wins?" I asked. "Yes." He said. I stared at him as I thought about his proposal. Should I agree to this? I mean clearly, I was better than him. It wouldn't take me even a minute to seduce him. And then, the thought occurred to me. Maybe, he would be able to seduce me. What if he was better at it? He just showed me that he was capable of making me lose control. He was a charming and handsome man. What if I wasn't able to resist him? But then, the thought of being a loser and failing in front of him was even worse. So, I had no choice. "Deal." I said. "Really?" He looked at me with surprise. “Yes. I’m going to prove to you Travis Sinclair that a woman like me, has no problem in handling a man like you. You won't know what hit you." I smirked. "Oh.. Really?" He asked. "Yes." I smiled. "Well. Then. Let's see about that." He said. "So, how do you want to do this?" I asked. "I have an idea." He said. Then he stepped aside and gestured for me to come into his apartment. I swallowed. There was no turning back now. I took a deep breath and stepped inside his apartment. Once we were inside, he closed the door behind us and turned around to face me. His blue eyes were piercing. He was staring at me. It was so intense. And then he smiled. "Now. Should we get started?" He asked. "Sure." I said. "Alright. First of all, before we begin, we have to set some rules." He said. "Rules?" I asked. "Yes. We need some ground rules." He said. "Like?" I asked. "First and most important rule. You’re not allowed to touch the person seducing you. Immediately you touch the person, it is an instant failure. If that happens, the seducer wins. Got it?" He said. I blinked. “What? But….” I tried to protest. "If the person gets you off, you lose. If the person doesn't, you win. Is that clear?" He asked. I hesitated for a moment, and then I nodded. "Good." He said. "Next rule. No penetration of any kind.” He said and moved closer to me. “No matter how badly, the being seduced begs for it. The seducer can only use his mouth and tongue. Nothing else. No penetration is allowed." He whispered into my ears. His hot breath tickled me and I could feel myself getting aroused. I shivered. This was going to be hard for me. “Do you understand?” He asked again. “O..Okay.” I breathed. I tried to calm my nerves. “I can do this.” I muttered to myself. “I can do this” I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I could hear Travis chuckle. "Ready?" He asked. "I'm ready." I said. "Go ahead. Seduce me." He said. I opened my eyes and turned around. Travis was standing right in front of me. His blue eyes were shining with mischief. He was grinning at me. "Come on, little lady. Show me what you got." He taunted me. "With pleasure." I replied and walked towards him. I was determined to win. No matter what. Even if I had to sacrifice myself, I was not going to lose. "I have to warn you. It's gonna be really hard for you. I'm really good at this. So, get ready to lose." He said. "You know, Travis. That's exactly what I was about to say." I smiled at him. I had no idea how I was going to do it. But, I was going to do it. I was going to bend him to my will. I was going to show him who the boss was. "Ready or not, here I come." I winked at him. I moved closer and wrapped my arms around his neck. I tiptoed and planted a kiss on his lips. "That's all you got? Oh dear. I have so many ways to do this." He said. "Don't underestimate me, Mr. Sinclair. You will lose. That's a guarantee." I said. "Really? Then, I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna prove it to you. I'm going to make you cum. I'm going to make you cum so hard that your knees are going to buckle." He whispered into my ears. "In your dreams." I replied. "In my dreams. Hmm. That's an interesting idea." He grinned. "Well. That's all you're gonna get. In your dreams. Because that's not happening." I said. Then, I pulled him closer to me and kissed him deeper. My tongue invaded his mouth and I licked and sucked his lips. Travis held his hand above my ass, but didn't touch me. "Mmm.." I moaned into his mouth. Travis was not kissing me back. He was not responding to my advances. He was trying to resist. I was impressed. I had expected him to cave in and start kissing me. But, he didn't. He was playing the game. I slid my hand down his chest and moved my palm up and down. My hand caressed his firm abs. My fingers danced across his skin and then, they traveled down. My kiss became more intense as I moved my hands lower. I let go of his lips and kissed along his neck. "Oh yeah." He groaned. I smiled. I was making him crazy. I was surely going to win. I kissed his neck and ran my tongue along his collarbone. My hands were moving lower and lower. Until they reached the waistband of his pants. I hooked my finger into the waistband and pulled it down. "Fuck.." Travis hissed. I looked up at him. He was glaring at me. "You're such a naughty little girl, aren't you?" He asked. I just smiled and moved closer. My lips brushed against his skin. I could feel his pulse quicken. He was excited. "I'm gonna make you scream, Travis. And then, you'll beg me to never stop." I whispered. "Keep dreaming." He growled.Ayanna Pov The drive home from the hospital was quiet, but the air buzzed with excitement. I sat in the backseat with our newborn daughter cradled in my arms, her tiny face relaxed in sleep. Travis drove with careful precision, glancing at us through the rearview mirror every few minutes, as though to reassure himself that we were both safe. Allison, seated beside me, exhaled deeply, her exhaustion evident. Despite everything, there was a small, satisfied smile on her lips. She had given us the greatest gift of our lives, and no words would ever be enough to express our gratitude. As we pulled into the driveway, Travis turned off the engine and faced us. “ we are home” I looked down at our baby, my heart swelling with love. “welcome home baby.” Travis got out first, opening my door before reaching for the baby carrier. He handled it with such gentleness, as if he were holding something impossibly fragile. Allison followed closely behind as we made our way inside. The mom
Ayanna POV After a few weeks, Jenny informed us about her wedding, and everyone was especially happy for her. It was a joyous moment, and we all looked forward to celebrating with her. Although Jenny insisted I help with the wedding preparations, she was clear about one thing—she didn’t want anything extravagant. She preferred a simple yet elegant ceremony. The wedding was set to take place in the garden of the main family mansion at dusk, with the reception held in the same venue. Unlike most brides who invite hundreds of guests, Jenny kept her wedding intimate. She invited only close friends and family—people she knew genuinely cared about her happiness. It was a small but meaningful celebration, and we all admired her for choosing what truly mattered over societal expectations. Finally, after all the preparations, the wedding day arrived. Jenny looked breathtaking in her wedding dress, the happiest I had ever seen her. The ceremony was beautiful, filled with heartfelt vows a
Author's POV At the clinic, Timothy was still waiting for the result of the exam he had done. Even though the doctor hadn't seen anything serious, being who he was, he preferred to be cautious and have the test done even though they weren't really necessary. When the doctor came to give him the test results, they were surprised to see Travis arrive in a hurry with Ayanna in his arms. The doctor immediately requested a mark and shouted for the operating room to be prepared, pushing the stretcher towards the surgical center. The detective followed, explaining the situation and what had happened, as well as Ayanna's pulse during the journey. along with some other useful information for the doctor. When they reached a certain point, the doctor did not allow them to continue. While the nurses continued pushing the stretcher, the doctor tried to reassure Travis, " Sir, you cannot go any further but I promise to do everything in my power and the possible to save her." " No, I don't
Ayanna Pov I woke up early and made a simple breakfast. Just as I was setting the table, Alison walked into the room. “You’re up early,” I said, glancing at her. She gave a small nod. “Figured I should leave as soon as possible.” I placed a plate in front of her. “Eat something before you go.” She hesitated for a moment, then sat down and started eating. After a few bites, she looked up. “I’ll go straight to Travis, like I promised. But I can’t tell him where this place is. I’ve already betrayed Henry once by going against his plan. I won’t do anything that might put him in more danger.” I studied her for a moment and nodded. “I understand.” And I did. But deep down, I knew it wouldn’t be long before Travis and the cops came looking for me. My necklace had a tracker, and I had no doubt they were already on their way. Alison sighed and pushed her plate away. “Well, I should get going.” I stood up as she did. “Be careful.” “You too, Ayanna.” With that, she left, and I
Ayanna Pov A memory clicked in my mind. "Wait… you’re Travis Sinclair—the adopted son of Mr. Sinclair?" Henry’s lips curled into a sinister smile. He clapped mockingly. "Wow. Good guess." So that was why Henry was angry at Travis. "But he didn't leave you in the fire on purpose. He also lost consciousness, and his face got burnt. It's not as if he was in a position to help you and refused," I tried to defend my husband. "You're so fast, Ayanna. Why don’t you hold on and let me finish my story?" "I'm sorry. Go ahead," I said, not wanting to make him angrier than he already seemed. "Thank you!" Henry said before continuing. "While I lay there unconscious for some time, I eventually woke up—still dizzy—and saw that the intensity of the fire had increased. I tried to reach out to Travis, but the fire had created a barrier between us. I couldn't get to him, so I just lay there, struggling. "Not long after, the firefighters arrived and tried to control the damage. But I w
At a certain point that night, I left the room and found Henry lying on the couch still shirtless.On a side table next to the couch, there were several lit candles. I had to admit that he was making an effort. If only he used this to do something good for someone, maybe he would have found someone who could give his life a different purpose., other than destroying Travis. I went near the glass door and looked outside , wondering if my family members had been rescued, but until that moment, there was no sign of Travis nor the cops and I just wanted to leave this place and get away from this man as soon an possible. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Henry approached with a drink in his hand and a smile on his face." Care to join me? I took the glass to avoid being rude to Henry. He was calm and I didn't want to irritate him any further, for whatever reason. I took only two sips and made an excuse saying that I was going to the kitchen to get something to eat. if I had an empty
