Chapter 13: Sweet Secret

The news to restock didn’t come as much surprise to Elvin. He had been expecting it. However, he was scared because this meant movement, and he was worried that Eve lived within areas the lockdown was temporarily lifted, and that she may go home. Well, this wasn’t the time to speculate. He had to be sure.

Elvin walked into the room to meet her naked, and her legs were spread. She had a hand between her legs, and a book obscured her face. Was this another trap? The bulge in his shorts told him nothing. He cleared his throat.

Eve lowered the book, locked her gaze with him, and let her eyes travel to the part of him straining against the material of his shorts. He wasn’t shy. It was nothing she hadn’t seen before.

“You want something?” Eve asked. “I thought I left you satisfied in the night.”

How she could effortlessly make him want her without doing much, made him wonder. Her naked form was a message on its own, causing effects to his body, and her words, he termed them worse.

Elvin swallowed. What had he come to ask her? He tried to think, oh man, that sight before him. He had to look to the window to remember. Yes. He returned his gaze to Eve and tried to focus on her face. “I would be going out to restock,” he said.

“Naturally,” Eve said. “You want my credit card?”

Oh, come on. He could take care of that. “No. I just, I was wondering if the place you live is one of those places still on lockdown.”

“Yes. It’s affected.”

Elvin smiled. His gaze went down and settled between her thighs. He had three days to restock. He needed to get her something. A present. Lingerie perhaps. No. A couple of them. Seeing her in those would do equal assault as well. But well, it would keep things interesting.

Her hands were still playing with herself. He licked his lips. Should he go to her? Should he kiss her? He could stay a while.

He thought about the malls and the throng of people that would be there. Oh my. He wished he had someone to make him a reservation. He would spend some time with her, and when he was close to his turn, he would drive to the mall. Nah. He would return.

“Don’t go anywhere,” Elvin had said, and ran out of the room.

He may have resisted her charm, but she could still see she had power over him. She heard him drive out, and she hoped he was careful, for he left like one who needed to be back on time to get something he had left so as not to get cold. Like a meal.

Well, she couldn’t get cold. Eve knew that. She had spent years perfecting herself in the art of seduction, and it was all to keep him interested long enough to actually know him.

Eve picked up her phone, dialed a number, someone picked.

“Eve!” a lady said.

“Sherri!” Eve said.

“Wow. This is grand. Did it work?”

“Yes, it did. We’ve been having a go at it for a while.”

“Are you sure you want to inform others? Remember, that’s what your sister did, and she lost him.”

“I didn’t add that part to the details,” Eve said. “It was all part of the plan. She was supposed to break up with him. He was too faithful. So, she needed a good reason, no matter how cooked up it was. It was a dare. It’s not something you go around telling people especially if they ask.”

“I get your point. So, you’re bothered it may get boring and you want to involve others? Well, I could host a party at the compound. Maybe, call twenty, to thirty guests. Our clique, and he is the only stranger of course. Mostly, people we trust, especially those who don’t have a freaking clue to what’s going on.”

Eve thought about it. “You know what? I changed my mind.”

“Why?”

“He’s not worth sharing. I have him where I want him. I just need him to bare himself to me.”

“It’s weird he never noticed you in High School,” Sherri said.

“Yeah, I know,” Eve said. “My dad was very concerned about our reputation. He didn’t want anyone to know who we were. We used different names in school. It’s only now we were able to use our original names.”

“And all this while, you’ve had the means to win him, but you’ve let him fall and make mistakes with other ladies?”

“It’s all part of the experience, love. Mistakes make better lovers, especially if they are willing to learn. My sister didn’t find fault with him.”

“And you’re not bothered she slept with him?”

“It was all supposed to look real. There was to be no room for mistakes. I know I didn’t have him first. And that’s okay. But he’s the one I want last.”

Sherri laughed. “So, how long are you keeping us all at home, boss?”

Eve smiled. “A little longer. Till he comes begging. Perhaps, that would be my new game to him. I just have to find a way to frame it well to have him totally submit.”

“Aren’t we the ones who should submit?”

“Absolutely. I would cook his favorite dish, and after this call, I’ll text him on some things to buy. If he doesn’t have the money, I’ll call the mall to give it to him for free. I have to make him feel special.”

“You’re a master strategist. I’m glad I never messed with you.”

“I appreciate your loyalty, Sherri. How’s your boyfriend, and how’s the lockdown treating you both?”

“Well, I don’t know about you,” Sherri said, “but we’ve been having sex ten times a day. Quickies, long sex, and the littlest nasty word does get him turned on.”

“Is he still calling those ladies?” Eve asked.

“Not after you had them infected, and put them all in the hospital,” Sherri said. “He’s more faithful now, and he worships me.”

“As girls, we have to look after one another.”

“I hear you girl. I’ll keep you posted.”
