Chapter 680: A Date
The next time Erasmi woke up, the sun was high in the sky. As he seepily patted the bed next to him, it took him a moment to realize that it was cold and empty. With a sigh, he opened his eyes and turned his head, confirming what he already knew.
Feeling lazy, he slowly slipped out of bed, and like a woman doing the walk of shame, checked himself in the mirror and winced... It seemed Ava had been possessed... The scratches and love bites scattered across his neck and shoulders made him shake his head with a rueful smile. He might just have to use those concealer thingies to cover these... or else he wouldn’t even be able to step out.
Grabbing his short and tshirt, he walked down out of the room and almost fell off the stairs at the scene before him. She was planning to kill him. That had to be it..this was a meticulously crafted plot for murder. But if he died today, it would be with a sense of satisfaction.
He must have made a sound then, for she turned around and smiled at him. He frowned. It was a smile he’d seen a thousand times before, but this morning, it felt different—more dangerous, more... inviting.
As he stared, she picked up a flower and began walking toward him. If that could be considered walking. Why was she walking as if this were a ramp? And with that dress, she had on, clinging to her curves? She might as well be on a runway. Did she drink something last night that had caused this kind of a side effect.
He cleared his throat, struggling to find his voice, and asked hoarsely," Caius."
Yes. Caius. His son was his lifeline. The only one who could save him from being seduced to death. She paused then and he looked at her in question. "Caius has gone for football practice..."
His eyes widened! He was supposed to take him for football practice almost an hour ago! How had he forgotten that.
"Relax, I told him you were worn out and couldn’t go. He went with his friends", she told him huskily.
