Chapter 29: Attempted Seduction

Why had she turned herself into the village dumping ground. Every body in the village and it's environs who had an appendage dangling between his thighs had had their way with her and that, with her consent. As matter of fact, if the rumours about her were to be believed, and he did believe them, she even begged most of them for it. Was she now a maniac? When did all this start? Was she one when they had been enjoying their sizzling and steamy relationship and he had been blissfully unaware or did it start afterwards?

He just could not fathom all this and didn't know if he actually wanted to.

'You had other men after him. Was his spell also responsible for that? Did his spell turn you into a nymphomaniac?' he asked in painful confusion.

'Please Felix forgive me. You have been my one and only true love. My first, and I had hoped, the last but for the trials our love has been made to pass through. But love they say conquers all'. she begged. 'If you have ever been in love with me before now, you will forgive me. And anyway, it's your fault' she said despirately, grabbing at straws as she saw that her plans and tricks were not paying of.

Felix looked at her with incredulity. She would lay the blame for her promiscuous actions on him? What length was this woman willing to go to just to justify her actions?

'How so?'he asked.

'Yes it's your fault for loving me so well that it affected me psychologically. When I could not love Sam naturally and he could not make me love him except with the use of his charms, I felt a void that needed to be filled. I tried using sex with other men to fill it. I even had to use someone close to you so I could feel close to you and see if the void could be filled, all to no avail. It had all been pointless. Even the sex was not good as yours was. I could not stop recalling the way you always made love to me. We made love with sweet abandon. No holds barred. We made love as though the world belonged to us and the change of men was so I could feel that same sweet abandon but I never did. None could fill the hole in my heart and none still could satisfy me sexually the way only you could. Thinking about it now makes me weak in the knees, could you forgive me and take me into your arms? If you can't give me your love, then give me your body. Let usr explore and experiment with our bodies like we use to, if we are not compatible, then I will never trouble you as long as I live but if we are, I shall leave the decision about our reconciliation to you. Whatever you decide, that will I follow.'she concluded.

Then drew close to Felix and started caressing his body and unbottoning his short expertly..

Felix was so caught up in the sound of her plea and shocked at her suggestion that he did not at first know what was happening but on a psychological level he was responding like any warm blooded man would untill he caught himself.

He couldn't deny anymore that he still found Gift attractive but he also knew her well enough to know there were no half measures with her. Once he slept with her, she would take over his life and accept nothing less and then he would be powerless against her. Then what would he say to Mercy? How was it possible that he was in love with someone else and still attracted to Gift this strongly? Does it mean he didn't love Mercy enough or was it possible that one can love or desire two women with equal ferocity?

He needed time to think but about what? About sharing Gift with five thousand other men, his close friends included? No, whatever spell she had woven round him was broken because he wouldn't touch her with a six inch pole.

So, he pushed Gift away and told her, 'Oh but you see, you are about three hundred and sixty five days late because I am deeply in love with another and shall be getting married to her as soon as I can manage it'.

Gift' mouth dropped open in shock.
