Devil's Temptation

Chapter 3

Duce's POV

The smile never left my lips while sitting on my sofa. I was already drinking my wine when someone knocked on my door. Why are they so fast? They had a quickie then?

I laughed softly to myself before opening the door.

"What are you still doing? Cover yourself,” he said before he entered my place. I couldn't stop grinning before looking at him.

"Why are you already here, Sir? I thought you'll have a sexy time with your girl," I said, so he immediately frowned when he looked back at me.

"What?" I just laughed and shrugged my shoulders.

"I thought I'd be hearing a lot of moans in your room." There was more teasing in my voice before laughing. He just gave me a blank expression.

"I'm just kidding, Sir. You're so serious," I said while laughing before letting him enter my place.

"I'll call the plumber now. Just stay in your room.” I raised my eyebrows before looking at him. Eventually, I just grinned and shrugged my shoulders.

I suppose I should end teasing him earlier but now that he's here, should I just seduce him even more? It seems like his fiancee went home earlier than I expected.

"Do you want to eat here, Sir? I can actually cook food for you," I said with a smile. He just gave me a cold look.

"Fine, I'll change my clothes first then let's have lunch," I said with a laugh. I went to the room. I just wore terno silk clothes.

He looked at me briefly and just shook his head when I went outside. He didn't even pay attention to me because he was busy with his call.

"Kitchen," I muttered. He just nodded while I went there. I don't know how to cook but just to do things like this then I suppose I'll do it.

"Can you put it to me, Sir?" I sweetly ask before showing him my apron. He only gave me a cold look before he let out a sigh.

I couldn't help but smirk before letting his rough hand land on my skin. Damn. Am I really the one seducing him or is it the other way around?

Just hearing his heavy breath from my neck makes all the butterflies in my stomach move around.

"Done," he whispered softly. His voice really is as deep as the ocean. I just grinned before walking away.

"Don't you have work, Sir?" I asked before starting to arrange the vegetables. He turned to me with my question. He didn't say a word and just sat across from the countertop before watching me. He's waiting for the plumber to come here too.

"Why are you so casual to me?" he asked while reading a document.

"Huh? I'm calling you Sir though,” I said. He just furrowed his forehead. He didn't say anything and just stared at me, which is why I didn't realize that I was already injured from using the knife.

He immediately stood up and approached me.

"Are you hurt? Do you even know how to cook? You don't even know how to properly hold the knife," he said. I pouted before saying a word.

"It's fine. Just a small wound," I muttered so he raised his eyebrow. I can't help but be curious when I saw him going to his room. After that, he came back with a bear band-aid. I couldn't help but smile when I looked at him.

"I didn't know you like bears," I tease while laughing. He just shook his head before he went behind me and held my hands just to help me cut the vegetables. But he just ended up getting it from me when he realized I'm not really good with that thing.

"I'll cook, you can just wait in your living room," he said so I couldn't help but tease him.

"What if you poison me? I'll just stay here to watch," I said before grinning at him. He didn't say anything and let me do whatever I wanted. I couldn't help but sneer before staring at him. I just raised my eyebrows when I saw that he was really good at what he was doing.

“Wow, you're good with everything, Sir! Is there something you don't know?” I asked laughingly. His expression remained blank so I smirked. Things won't get interesting if he will show interest in a short period of time. I'm enjoying things as of now.

I managed to stand up and get close to him. I even lean my face towards him.

"It smells so good," I sensually said. He didn't even move so I couldn't stop sulking. It seems like I'm not affecting him at all, huh? I just grinned before I brought my face closer to his neck.

"It seems like you're the one who smells nice, Sir," I said to him with a smile. He got away from me a little because of that. As if he's being burned.

"Is it the same body scrub as I use?" I asked him.

"Can you move aside, Ms. Amethyst? You're distracting me," he said coldly, making the smile on my lips even wider. So I'm really affecting him, huh?

"It seems like you're really testing my patience, Ms. Amethyst.” His voice is like music to my ears. My lips parted when he looked back before he stepped closer to me. I don't know what's wrong with me but I just saw myself stepping backward until I couldn't step any further. He cornered me while just looking at my eyes. What do I see in those gray eyes he has? Desire? Danger? I don't know. All I know is that my heart really doesn't want to stop beating. Like a prisoner who wants to break free from his cage.

His face gradually approached me. I slowly close my eyes when I feel that his lips are about to touch mine.

It just stopped when we heard the doorbell from outside my unit. Spring gradually moved away from me before he raised the long sleeve on his elbow.

"It seems like the plumber is here. Let's see him now so you won't need to ask for help with your neighbor just to take a bath,” he said turning his back on me.

I can't help but be annoyed with myself. It's already an opportunity but I let it slide through my fingers. I just really want to hit myself in annoyance.

He turned to face me again before whispering in my ear.

"And a warning to you, Ms. Secretary... Don't test my patience. You're my employee. It bothers me that you talk to me casually.”
