Chapter 20: AN AFFAIR

When Xender and I returned to the hall, everyone was already seated. An elderly man who was among the people I greeted earlier with my father addressed them.

I can't even remember the man’s name. Xender and I took a seat away from the cloud in order not to disturb the class going on. 

I started hearing a beep as I tried to trace it. It seems to be coming from Xender, but he looked a little distracted to notice. I wanted to ignore it as well, but it kept beeping over and over again.

“Xender,” I called in a wishper. He looked my way, and as I waved my hand at him, I indicated that he should come closer to me. He leans towards me, and I said this to him.

“I think you should check yourself; I can hear a beep coming from you.” I wishpered to him.

“Oh, that's my ringing tone. I will be back,” he said, and he excused himself outside. I felt so bored out of sense since I wasn't following in on the teachings. I wish Anna was here. Then it hit me: I promised to call Anna after getting an invitation for her.

I got so caught up in everything that I totally forgot about calling her. Just then, my phone started ringing, which drew people's attention to me.

I quickly took my phone, said a little apology to everyone, and excused myself.

“Hello, Anna. I'm so sorry. I know you must have waited for me forever. I got busy meeting up with top businessmen and women introduced to me by my father, so I got carried away.”

“It's okay; I can't make it to the party anyway.”

“But why? I just collected a pass ticket for you.”

“Thank you, Alda, but something came up, so I can't make it for the night.” But I thought she said she was free for the night. I was already planning on introducing her to Xender. 

“Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, everything is fine. I will talk to you tomorrow, okay?”

“Okay”

“And also, do you think you can still get the contract without the file you left with me?”

“Don't worry about that; I have it as a pdf on my phone and laptop.”

“Okay, have fun. Goodbye.”

"Bye.” I ended the call and headed back inside. I felt bad for Anna. I can't believe I totally forgot about our little plan. I hope she isn't angry with me.

I went back to the hall as I tried to keep myself entertained until the teachings were over. I couldn't focus my mind on one particular thing; my mind just kept wandering about.

Anna's POV

“Instead of going to a pub, why don't we head to my house instead? If we both get drunk, then who is going to drive?” Seth said as we were half way to the pub.

I hated the fact that I have to be around him, but he was right: having the both of us drunk is not a good idea.

“Hope you have some good drinks at home.”

“You bet I do.” I did my best to ignore him as I drove to his house. It was already getting late, and I wonder how I will get myself home after this.

I am totally in the mood to drink this night. When I drove into his compound, I parked his car in the garage as we both headed inside.

“Make yourself comfortable; I will be right back.” Seth said that and rushed upstairs. I threw my bag across the couch and kicked my heels off.

Having been there, I bought every single thing that I'm wearing, which angers me the most. Especially that handbag; it was so damn costly.

“Here, a bottle of champagne will do, right?”

“For now, but fill in the glass for me; I really need it.” 

“Okay, I am loving this new side of you.” Seth said as he winked at me. I rolled my eyes in return as I took the glass of wine from him. I took a long drink and loved how it hit me.

Seth refilled my cup and his as we both sat opposite ourselves. I was lost in my own thoughts on how to get Xender Armstrong when Seth brushed his hand against my cheeks.

That jolted me out of my thoughts as I stared at him with questioning eyes.

“Aaaah, what are you doing?” I asked when his wandering hand grazed my breast.

“I'm just trying to make this night more interesting. Instead of talking about some invaluable people.” He said this as he leant close to me.

Is he being freaking serious? He wants to have sex with me.

“Don't you have any respect for Alda? Why would you want to sleep with your wife's best friend?”

“You, best friend? In your dreams, you consider yourself her best friend, but you are here to talk against her. You are more pathetic than I am.”

His words got me angry as I raised my hand to slap him, but he caught my hand before it could collide with his face.

He held my hands as he pinned me down on the couch. 

“Let me go,” I said to him, trying to pull my hands free, but his grip was hard as he leant in and laid on top of me.

“Relax; we are both going to enjoy this. You can always push me away if you don't like it." He whispered in my ears before placing his left hand on my lower back.

He wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me towards him, leaving our lips brushing against each other. It was a little act, but it sent shivers down my body. I managed to slide my trapped hand away from his as I wrapped my hands around his neck and closed the space between us.

I kissed him, sucking his lower lips. I could taste the wine we took from his mouth, and I think it tasted better. I ran my hands up and down his chest as I tugged at his shirt.

He took my lower lips in between his teeth, giving them a gentle bite before deepening the kiss. Our tongues danced together as they chased after each other. 

When we both pulled away, we were breathing so fast that we struggled to catch our breath.

“How do you like that?” Seth asked, his voice coming out husky and deep.

“I want more,” I replied as I slid my hands into his shirt, caressing his muscled chest. He leant in closer and placed a kiss on my neck. He kissed my breast, which was popping out of my dress.

I felt him unzipping my dress, and a smile creeped onto my face. Maybe tonight is not going to be a bad night after all. I slide out of my dress as I toast it away. I push Seth into a lying position as I climb onto him.

I began to unbutton his shirt as I pressed kisses all over his face. I leant towards his left ear and licked it, giving it a bite.

“I want you to fuck me like your life depends on it.” I whispered in his ear before toasting his shirt aside.

“You bet I will. Get ready to feel all sore by morning.” He said as the rest of our clothes followed the others to the floor. And Seth kept to his words as we had sex all night long.
