100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Forty-One…

~~*****~~

Aiden was staring at the sleeping beauty beside him while smiling like a fool. His stomach fluttered as he recalled what transpired last night in Cherry's guest room.

*~Flashback~*

Aiden cursed himself inwardly as he got caught by Cherry. Their eyes met. Through the light coming from the lampshade, Aiden could see clearly her confused expression.

Cherry seemed like she was trying to identify him as she adjusted her vision. On the other hand, Aiden didn't know whether to flee or just stay as it is.

He was silently wishing that Cherry would close her eyes once more. But deep inside, his heartbeat was going wild and his body became rigid.

"Sleep Cherry. Sleep again. This is just a dream." Aiden murmured. He reached out, gently stroking her hair.

"Close your eyes…" he softly mumbled as if he was trying to hypnotize her.

But instead of closing her eyes, Cherry cupped his face using both hands, not allowing Aiden to look away. She tilted his head side by side, assessing his face from different angles.

Aiden could only hold his breath while staring at her anxiously. He already expected her to slap him but she never did. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

"Handsome," Cherry mumbled, pinching his jaws.

Aiden was at a loss for words after hearing that compliment from Cherry. He blinked several times. He felt like his mind malfunctioned for a moment.

'Wait? Did I hear it right? Cherry called me handsome…' Aiden didn't know if he was just imagining things or not.

However, Cherry pulled his face closer then she lightly giggled. She wasn't sober. The effect of alcohol was still in her system.

"You have a feminine beauty for a guy. No wonder, Abi called you a flower boy." Cherry let out another soft giggle. Her forefinger poked his nose.

Then her finger moved down, tracing Aiden's lips. This gesture somehow brought excitement within him. 'Damn it. I feel like I could die right now. Is she trying to enumerate my good qualities?'

Aiden just remained silent, anticipating Cherry's next words.

"These red kissable lips… I wonder how many women fell into your sweet pretty lies. But I can't blame them… your lips look very tempting." Cherry bit her lower lip after saying those words, her eyes fixated on his lips.

Soon enough, Cherry shifted her attention back to his eyes. "Sigh…. Even your eyes… are more beautiful than other women I know. You have long eyelashes…"

"Overall… you are charming but…" Cherry shook her head from side to side, clicking her tongue.

"But what?" Aiden could no longer stay quiet. He asked her as he was dying to know the rest of her thoughts about him.

"You are weak and clumsy. I feel like you will get knocked down in only one strike!" Cherry giggled once more.

Aiden crumpled his face. His ego has been hurt by her last remarks.

"Your beautiful face is your only asset," Cherry added, gently patting his right cheek.

"I have a great physique too!" Aiden retorted. He had to carry his own chair and flaunt his good assets.

"Are you sure? Then show me," Cherry challenged him. She let go of his face and she sat up, leaning her back on the headboard of the bed.

Aiden smirked at her as his fingers started unbuttoning his shirt. Cherry's eyes were still fixed on him. Her gaze was following Aiden's fingers, moving down until he finished unbuttoning the last button of his polo shirt.

Aiden stripped in front of her, letting his polo shirt fall to the floor. He stood there beside her bed with an exposed chest and tummy.

Cherry chewed on her lips when she saw Aiden's six-pack abs and his sturdy chest. They formed like hard buns.

Cherry ran her tongue over her lips as she licked. She was satisfied with the sight before her.

"Come closer! I wanna touch them!"

Aiden: "..."

Aiden was caught off guard by Cherry's strange behavior. She seemed like she was a different person when drunk. Where was the aloof and serious Cherry? The one in front of him was a mischievous woman.

"Are you sure?" Aiden asked her in disbelief.

Cherry bobbed her head frantically as she gasped in anticipation. She even grinned playfully while rubbing her hands together.

Uncertain of what to do, Aiden stepped forward, closing their gaps. Before he could react, Cherry pressed her hands against his abs. She touched his body, pinching each bun.

Aiden's temperature rose and he suddenly felt hot. His cheeks and ears were also burning red. 'Why do I feel like I am getting harassed… but in a good way?'

Aiden bit his lips, holding his breath as Cherry continued to explore and caress his muscular body. Her fingers began tracing the outline of his buns. Aiden felt a ticklish sensation running throughout his body.

'Damn! This is torture.' Aiden slammed his eyes shut while clenching his fists. He was trying to suppress his desire which was being awakened by Cherry's touch. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

'No! I have to stop playing with fire now! She is not in her usual self. I don't want to take advantage of her, otherwise, she will never forgive me.'

Aiden took a deep breath and pried his eyes open. He grabbed Cherry's hands to stop her from touching him further. Her hands almost touched the thing below his waist.

"Times-up, Sweety. Just go to bed and sleep." Aiden tried his best to keep his composure. But the burning desire was already apparent in his eyes.

Cherry shook her head stubbornly while pouting her lips. "No. I don't want to sleep. But if you want… lie beside me."

Cherry moved to the side, patting the space next to her as she invited Aiden to lie beside her.

Aiden was dumbfounded by her unexpected invitation. If Cherry was sober, he was certain that she would kick him out of the room, not inviting him to lie next to her.

Without allowing Aiden to refuse her, Cherry grabbed his hand and pulled him forcibly until he fell into the bed. She immediately hugged him, trapping him with both arms and legs.

And that was how they both ended up sleeping on the same bed, with Aiden not wearing anything on his upper body.

~End of Flashback~

Aiden was still in his daydreaming when suddenly the door of the room was pushed open.

"Aiden, you ungrateful brat, what the hell are you–" the man stopped talking after seeing Aiden and the woman in his arms.

"D-Dad? What are you doing here?"
