The Temptress: Tempting the Devil’s son

Miss Katrina pondered on what the Dean had said unable to fully grasp the hiding meaning behind his words.

“How do you think the Vice chancellor lost his job and all his businesses went bankrupt in a day after his daughter disfigured Ariana’s face? Doesn’t it baffle you how they all died mysteriously?”

“How?” She was mystified.

“Katrina, I expected you to be smart! Drake did it of course, he’s no ordinary person. I can’t say anything about their deaths because there was no evidence. Everything precisely timed and carefully planned. He’s one of the movers and shakers of this country and Ariana was his girlfriend even before he came into this school. So technically, they are doing nothing wrong.” He explained.

“What?” Her eyes went wide with surprise.

“So Katrina, I urge you to stay away so you don’t get hurt. It’s for your own good!” He cautioned.

“Who really is that guy?”

“I can’t tell you that, it’s best you don’t know. You should leave now,” he mumbled and continued typing on his computer signifying the end of their discussion.

“Please.” She pouted.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You know I’m very inquisitive and I won’t rest till I know the truth. You don’t want your second cousin to get hurt!” She pleaded with puppy eyes.

He sighed, tousling his hair in frustration. “Do you always have to use the fact we are related to always get what you want?”

“If I have to, then yes. My father wouldn’t be happy with you knowing you let his only daughter die.” She stood from the seat, turning away as she made to leave.

“Okay, fine. I’ll tell you!” He gritted. Upon hearing this, she ran back to her seat, excitement coursing through her veins.

“But you have promise that you won’t tell anyone else even Ariana,” he sternly said.

“I promise!” She affirmed, nodding her head repeatedly.

“He’s Blake Houston,” he told her, lowering his voice.

“Blake Houston!” She almost screamed but she quickly placed her hand to cover her mouth.

“You mean THE RICH BLAKE HOUSTON?! The richest man in the world. The mysterious billionaire who the media would give anything just to see his face? I hear that only a few people actually know what he looks like!” She glanced at him, stupefied.

“Yes, he’s the one!”

“Oh my God!” She screamed. “So Ariana doesn’t know he’s her boyfriend?”

“I guess so. He warned us not to let her know.”

“How did you know she was his girlfriend?” She asked.

“When she was admitted into the school. I was informed by the chancellor that Blake Houston’s girlfriend would be attending the school. She was entrusted in my care as she was very naive and an easy prey to bullying which was what he clearly wanted to avoid.” He paused a little taking a deep breath before continuing.

“He didn’t want a strand of her hair missing. Since I couldn’t always have eyes on her, I asked you to take care of her and you in turn introduced her to Beth and Kim who have so far managed to shield her from bullies.” He sighed.

“So she’s cheating on him with him? I underestimated that girl. Never knew she was this slutty!” She gritted, all the more reason to hate her even more.

“That’s none of your business! Just stay away! Logan didn’t disfigure Ariana’s face but he also suffered for the sins of his daughter. I love my job so don’t anything that would jeopardize my working here.” He reminded, sternly.

“Fine I’ve heard you!” She scoffed a little, thinking of what to do with her new found discovery.

“Now if you would escuse me, I was busy before you walked in.” He signaled for her to leave his office.

“Okay, fine, I’m leaving alright.”

Riri entered the lecture hall feeling all jittery. Her cheeks were flushed and she was grinning from ear to ear.

She was really happy that he accepted her invitation but on a second thought, her parents wouldn’t be happy seeing her with some other man in their house. To top it all, Blake could just walk in at any moment. Why didn’t I think things through before inviting him over? She groaned, her mood dampening.

It was hopeless fighting the massive attraction she felt for professor Drake. It actually felt like he was her other half, a part of her that had been missing for a long time. Her soulmate.

Each time he touched her, she felt this weird sparks, she felt connected to him somehow. She just couldn’t wrap her head around it.

And yes, she did feel guilty for cheating on Blake, but it just wasn’t something she could resist. She always found herself melting at his mere gaze and shivering at the touch of his skin against hers. He warmed her insides and made her hormones throw a wild party.

Weird thing was she felt exactly the same way about Blake. His deep voice had butterflies swarming in her stomach and goosebumps crawling on her skin. She was always on cloud nine whenever she spoke to him and she always wondered what his touch would feel like. If his voice drove her crazy, his touch would make her completely mad.

Whenever she spoke to him, she would have to spend the night with soaked panties and tingling sensations all over her body.

Sometimes, he would whisper dirty words into her ears and then he would instruct her on how to touch herself till she ends up cumming on the sheets and moaning his name. Good thing her door was soundproofed, it would have been really embarrassing having to explain to her parents about the weird sounds she was making.

Then he would tell her how much he wanted to taste her, how much he wanted to kiss her and how much he wanted to fuck her.

She was attracted to two men and she was caught in between not knowing who to choose. Her body and soul yearned to have them both. But she could only choose one as they were both possessive and hated sharing. Who would see choose?

“Wow, looks like Professor Drake really made you cum a lot today. Look how much you’re glowing, girl!” Kim winked and teased.

Her words caused color to flood her cheeks even more. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

She sat on her seat and crossed her arms, pretending to ignore her. She wasn’t in the mood to answer any questions.

“The blush on your face tells me you know exactly what I’m talking about. Spill!”

Lia hit Kim on her shoulders as she scolded. “Kim leave her be. Not everyone feels comfortable about discussing their sex lives with their friends. You must not always know the details, some things are better left unsaid.”

“Thank you for your words of wisdom, madam Adviser!” Kim cast her a sidelong glace and said with a tone full of sarcasm.

“Whatever!” Lia rolled her eyes. Riri smiled and cast her a thankful glance to which she responded to with a wink.

“You two never ever agree. You’re like cats and mice!” Beth threw her hands in the air dismissively as she continued tapping on her phone without paying much attention to them.

“She started it!” They both yelled, pointing at each other. And soon they both starting bickering. It was impossible to fathom what they were rapping about.

“That’s enough!” Riri suddenly screamed, her scream cutting through the air and silencing them.

“Seriously, you both are like annoying kids!” Beth groaned, exasperated. They were about to argue again when Miss Katrina walked into the hall. Her presence silenced them.

Her eyes fell on Riri and her nose wrinkled in sheer disgust.

“Good afternoon, class.” She started, still throwing Riri a disgusted look. Seriously, what’s up with her?

“Good afternoon ma,” the class responded.

“Miss Katrina seems to really hate you a lot. Have any idea why?” Kim questioned, throwing Riri a ‘spill it’ glance.

“That’s because we are both after the same man!” She told them, shrugging.

Their jaws dropped. “Oh my God!”

“You are starting to attract more enemies to yourself. All thanks to professor Drake. Do you really think he’s worth all the trouble?” Lia asked, her eyes showing concern.

She sighed. “Honestly, I don’t know. It’s not like I can stop myself even if I want to.”

“You can try avoiding him.” She suggested

“Yeah, like that would work?” Kim rolled her eyes in sarcasm.

“I hate to agree with Kim, but no matter how much I try to avoid him, he will still come looking for me. It’s not like I can actually avoid my professor?”

“What’s with all the chattering going on over there? Ariana and crew?” Katrina demanded, irritated.

“Sorry ma’am.” They mumbled apologetically.

“Ariana see me in my office immediately after the end of this class.”

“Yes ma.”

“Looks your trouble just got a lot bigger!”

Walking into an enormous and highly decorated sitting room, Blake let out an exhausted sigh.

He looked over at one of the couches and found his mother seated and staring at him. She was about forty-six now but she still looked as young and as beautiful as she was twenty years ago. She had barely aged. Her face was flawless and without wrinkles. She had a slender and model-like body. A body most men would kill for.

Asides the few strands of grey hair on her blonde hair, one could easily mistake her for a twenty year old woman.

“Mom!” Excitement flooded his body. He pulled her into a very tight hug so much that she feared he might actually squish her and wind up breaking her bones.

She frowned. “You miss me this much, but you didn’t think it wise to visit?”

He pulled out the hug, guilt washing over his face. “I’m sorry mom, was busy with…”

“Work?” She cut him off.

“You do know that all the wealth you have right now won’t matter when the world is destroyed. Everything would be in pieces!”

“I know that mom but you don’t expect me to sit idle and do nothing while I wait patiently to turn thirty and destroy the world!”

“Okay maybe work is good but you’re over working yourself. You should be having as much fun as you can. You’re just a few days away from clocking twenty nine!”

“I am having fun!” He revealed with a small smirk.

“With who? Ariana?” she scoffed.

“Yes and you know how I feel about her!”

“You know I never supported the whole marrying her idea of yours. You care about her too much, she would only be a distraction. You can have numerous flings but never fall in love!”

“I am in love with her mom and she makes me so fucking happy and my hormones runs wild when she’s with me. I really wanna to build a life together with her. After I destroy this world and rid it of human existence, we can rebuild together. Have a family together and watch our kids grow.”

“Snap out of your daydream! Do you think she would still look at you the same way she does when she finds out who you really are?”

He paused and mumbled. “She won’t find out.” Some how, he knew what his mother said was true. Would she really dump him when she finds out?!

He felt his heart ache at the thought of her walking away. His mother was right, she was making him weak.

“Keep deceiving yourself. We both know she would find out soon. And when she does, she would see you as a freak, hate and despise you and finally cast you aside! That is the true nature of humans!”

…

What do you think Riri would do when she finds out?
