100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Seventy…

~~*****~~

'Damn, I'm addicted to her lips.' He didn't plan on taking this bold step, but the allure of her lips had become an irresistible temptation, urging him to savor and taste her sweetness all over again.

On the other hand, Jane also found herself captivated. Despite her resolve to stay away from Nathan, she couldn't help but feel the magnetic force, drawing her to Nathan. The touch of his lips sent a shock wave through her entire body, giving her a wonderful sensation that seemed to override all her rational thought and restraint.

'Shit! I can't stop myself from responding to his kiss. But why? Why is Nathan kissing me?' Jane was confused but she didn't have the courage to stop this. Her heart yearned for this.

As they shared a moment, their eyes momentarily closed, deepening the kiss further. Both of them couldn't deny the overwhelming desire welling up within their hearts. His lips brushed hers with a tantalizing possessiveness. Nathan's jealousy ignited his desire to kiss her.

Badum! Badum! Badum!

Their heartbeats danced in perfect harmony, a rhythmic reflection of the emotions coursing through their souls. Each heartbeat was a testament to the deep yet hidden feelings they had for each other. The gentle thud of their hearts echoed in unison, a silent but resounding declaration of their undeniable attraction. 

Nathan and Jane found themselves so deeply lost in the grip of their passion that they became blissfully oblivious to the world around them. Unknown to them, a small audience had unwittingly gathered, drawn by the unexpected display of intimacy unfolding before them. Ethan, Hanabi, and Chery including Butler Li and other maids had gone unnoticed, their gasps of surprise silenced by the heated kiss between Nathan and Jane.

Cherry, with mouth agape, reflexively covered Ethan's eyes, preventing him from watching his father devouring Jane's lips. Meanwhile, Hanabi's reaction was a visceral one. She balled her delicate hands into tight fists, her knuckles turning white as her gaze bore into Nathan like sharpened daggers.

'How could he kiss, our Lady! I'm against this! He is the devil who destroyed Jane's guild and killed her comrades.' Hanabi's lips were now drawn into a taut line, a silent testament to her anger, disappointment, and frustration.

On the other hand, Butler Li and the other maids stood in stunned amazement, their eyes widening as they witnessed the raw and unbridled passion that Nathan and Jane shared. Some exchanged hushed whispers, their faces flushed with a mixture of astonishment and intrigue, while others discreetly averted their gazes out of respect for the intensely private moment that had been unexpectedly laid bare before them.

In the midst of that awkward atmosphere, Ethan's voice resounded through the living room, breaking the silence. He spoke with a gentle but determined tone, addressing Cherry directly, saying, "Miss Cherry, please don't shield my eyes. I want to see them."

Ethan's voice shattered the intimate bubble Jane and Nathan had created, jolting them back to reality. Startled, they reluctantly separated, their flushed faces betraying their embarrassment. To their astonishment, they found themselves encircled by unexpected onlookers. 

In the midst of their passionate moment, they had momentarily forgotten their surroundings – a cozy living room filled with friends and acquaintances who had inadvertently become spectators to their impromptu display of affection.

As Jane and Nathan exchanged awkward glances. Blushing even deeper, Jane mustered a sheepish smile, acknowledging the amused or surprised looks from her friends and other people who had gathered in the room.

Meanwhile, concealing his embarrassment behind a façade of innocence, Nathan cast a steely, ice-cold glare toward Butler Li and the maids, silently indicating that they should make their exit and leave quietly.

Upon receiving Nathan's signal, Butler Li and the maids exchanged nervous glances with each other before hurrying to depart. Butler Li, normally the epitome of composure, couldn't hide the beads of perspiration that had formed on his forehead. 

The maids, with eyes wide and hands trembling, scurried to gather their belongings and left. Nathan's mere gaze had transformed the room into a place of unspoken authority, and their obedience was a testament to their anxiety in the face of his unspoken command.

However, Ethan's clear and lighthearted laughter worked like a charm, dispersing the oppressive tension and uneasiness that had hung in the air, caused by Nathan's icy and commanding presence. "Don't be upset, Dad," Ethan chuckled, breaking the ice. "We didn't intend to intrude. Carry on as if we weren't here… we'll pretend we didn't witness a thing."

Nathan: "..."

Jane: "..."

Hanabi & Cherry: "..."

Afraid that Nathan and Jane would consider little Ethan's words, Hanabi swiftly made her way toward Jane. As she reached Jane's side, Hanabi firmly grasped her hand and gently tugged her away from Nathan, separating the two. 

"Sis, it's time to head home," she urged, her voice tinged with demand as she shot Nathan a cold sharp glare. "Mr. Hiroshi might be searching for you at this very moment."

Jane just smiled at her and said, "I'm still waiting for Axel."

"You can spend the night here," Nathan suggested.

But Hanabi, with a hint of sternness in her voice and a determined squint in her eyes, immediately objected to the idea. "No," she asserted firmly, her protective instincts kicking in.

Cherry, who was still trying to recover from the shock of witnessing the passionate kiss between Jane and Nathan, could only watch Nathan and Hanabi. Her heart sank with a sense of helplessness as she observed the growing tension between the two.

She felt somehow responsible for that. It was her who had divulged the story of their past conflict to Hanabi, inadvertently fueling the fires of resentment within her and fostering her dislike for Nathan.

"Hanabi, we can wait for Axel to arrive. You know that Sis Jane needs something from him," Cherry approached Hanabi, trying to calm her down.

"Eh, you're here waiting for Uncle Axel?" Ethan interjected with curiosity. "He actually stopped by our place not too long ago and had a chat with my Dad. He headed out just a few minutes before you got here."

Nathan found himself torn between emotions, unsure whether to burst into tears or break into laughter. His son had just exposed his lies, making Jane turn in his direction. Jane's eyes bore into Nathan with an intense and suspicious gaze, her brows furrowed slightly as her piercing eyes seemed to dissect his every expression and movement.

"You already have it?" Jane's query sounded more like an accusation rather than a question, raising her eyebrow in disbelief. "Why did you make me wait for nothing?"

Nathan attempted to adopt an air of nonchalance, his demeanor carefully crafted to conceal the guilt for lying. He put on a facade of casual indifference as he said, "I can't give you the specimen without hearing an answer from you. You haven't given me a proper answer yet. Why do you need it?"

Jane pressed her fingertips against her temples, a visible sign of the inner struggle she was facing. She couldn't possibly provide an honest response to that question in the presence of Ethan. She needed to shield the young boy from the potentially shocking revelation that his biological mother was still alive. Her concern for Ethan's emotional well-being weighed heavily on her mind.

However, before Jane could utter a word, Nathan retrieved something from his pocket – a small bottle containing strands of Veronica's hair. He gently placed the bottle in Jane's hand and said, "Alright, here it is. Just give me your answer tomorrow." This also served as his pretext for meeting Jane again the following day.

Jane blinked repeatedly, amusement dancing in her eyes as she observed Nathan's actions. She could have sworn she caught a fleeting smirk on his face before he smoothly turned around and walked away, his confident departure leaving an intriguing air of mystery and anticipation lingering in the air.

Ethan, on the other hand, approached Jane with a broad smile on his lips. He couldn't contain his happiness since he observed the positive changes and improvement in his father's attitude toward Jane. He felt like things were slowly falling into the right places.

"See you tomorrow, Miss Jane. Be careful on your way home."

"Bye, Ethan," Jane gave him a quick hug. After saying goodbye to Ethan, the three ladies left the Sparks Mansion. They planned to submit the DNA samples at Zhou's hospital before heading home.
