Revengeful Flame of Seduction
Chapter 6
She finally looked up to stare at his face. Seeing him smile down at her made her looked away. She didn't know why she was blushing. "Good morning Serena" he finally spoke. She supported herself on her elbow, ready to get up but Darien pulled her back down and pulled the blanket up to cover their naked bodies. "Where do you think you're going huh?" he kissed her hair.
"I want to go take a shower..." she found it awkward to talk to him now.
"We'll go take a shower together later but now... we have to talk"
"I already said what I had to say last night..." she almost whispered.
"Yes you did... but I'm still under the shock of what happened between us you know..."
"I know it's my fault..."
"If you want to blame yourself, I'm as guilty as you because I wanted it as much as you did or perhaps even more," he grinned.
They both got into sitting positions and Serena brought the blanket higher to cover herself. Darien took her hand in his "Serena... I have to admit that I had never felt something like that. Becoming one with you, the feelings it evoked in me…" he shook his head slowly and sighed. "You made me feel so complete and whole. I know this might be too late or too soon to say this but I'm asking for another chance from you..."
"Bingo" she thought. "But... you already have someone else in your life..." she spoke sadly.
"Don't worry about Ann... our marriage never worked out anyways. Now all I want is you" he smiled.
"Yes you want me because I'm beautiful and can satisfy your needs. If you really wanted me why didn't you accept me 5 years ago? Why now?" she said to herself with a hint of anger. "The curtains will fall soon Darien. Soon, I'll get my revenge. I'll be out there somewhere laughing at your defeat while you will be living in misery and heartache for the rest of your life!"
She didn't notice that Darien had leaned forward to kiss her forehead. "Darien..."
"Shh..." he whispered "Let me love you again..."
"Love..." she said faintly and bit her lips, not wanting to break the vow she made. She closed her eyes "I'll think that you love me too Darien... at least I'll know how it feels to be touched by you... to be yours, before..." she was quickly brought back to reality when she felt his soft lips on hers, demanding a response from her.
She broke the kiss before it led to something more. "Why did you stop Serena?" Darien asked, a little disappointed.
"I want to take a shower" she said and got out of bed with the blanket wrapped around her. Before she could step inside the bathroom, she was suddenly lifted up from the ground "Darien!! Put me down! Let me go take a shower!" she hit him on his chest.
He grinned childishly "Me too! Let's take it together!"
"Darien!"
It didn't take long before Serena found herself under the shower with him standing in front of her with a grin. "You're so bad you know that?" she said and hit his chest again.
"Owww... don't hurt me please. I'm scared..."
She laughed but her laughter faded away when Darien moved closer to her and locked his eyes with hers. She swore she saw sparks in them. His arms encircled her waist and pressed her body against his. "Do you believe that just one night can change everything?" he tickled her ear with his faint words.
She closed her eyes and melt in his embrace, putting her arms around his neck "No... unless you show me"
"I'll show you... even if it takes forever."
"Khem, where's your master?" Ann asked when she got back home, looking a bit tired and restless.
"Probably in the shower because I heard the water run" she replied, preparing the table for breakfast.
Ann nodded and took a seat.
"You look tired mistress" Khem noticed.
Ann shot her a cold glare "None of your business! Stop talking, I'm hungry here"
"Yes yes..."
Ann just finished her breakfast when Darien came down "It was time for you to arrive Darien"
He took his seat "Today's Saturday so I don't have to get here early... and why didn't you come home last night?" he spoke like nothing happened.
"Well... I didn't want to drive since it was raining hard"
Darien sighed and began to eat. Serena finally stepped inside the dining room and sat down.
"I see there was someone else who slept in today" Ann said giving her a glare.
"Miss, when did you come home last night?" Khem asked, putting a plate in front of her.
"Oh... not too late. Your master opened the gates for me" she smiled and looked over at Darien.
He returned a knowing smile. They kept staring at one another until Ann coughed out loudly.
"What's going on?" she asked with her brows furrowing with suspicion.
"Nothing" Serena replied "Well I'm not hungry so I'm going shopping" she stood up.
"You want me to take you?" Darien blurted out, getting up from his seat.
Ann's eyes widened in shock and Serena eyed him sensually with a smile. "You want to take me?"
"I'd take you anytime and anywhere" he grinned, replying to the double sense of the line.
She shrugged "Let's go then"
Darien quickly followed, ignoring Ann and leaving her in a state of shock. It didn't take long before she started screaming at the top of her lungs and stomping her feet. Khem blocked her ears and ran out of the room.
"Your wife won't be happy about this you know" Serena pointed out mischievously when they got on the road.
Darien smirked without taking his eyes off the road "All I care about is you now" he took her hand and kissed it.
She looked into his eyes. He looked so sincere... "No Serena. It's all bullshit. Don't become weak now just because..." she turned away.
"Serena... what's wrong?" he asked with concern.
"... I'm thinking about us. Is this going to be like those secret love affair thing?" she asked.
"No of course not! You will become my legal wife. This time, we're going to stay together forever"
"How? Ann is..."
Darien's sigh cut her off "I was wrong to think Ann was the woman of my dreams and what happened between us made me see that you are the one for me... I know I'm stupid to not realize it sooner... please forgive me Serena... but I promise I'll use our future that is ahead of us to make it up to you"
Serena felt a stab in her heart. She felt herself weakening and her wall collapsing. "NO! He's lying Serena!! Remember five years ago, remember…"
Hatred flashed back in her eyes for a brief second and she turned to him "You're going to get a divorce with her?"
"As soon as we get home honey"
She smirked devilishly "Perfectly how I want it. Darien, your time has come"
