Chapter 11 ELEVEN
KIRA\]

“Hey Rylie!.” I smile as Rylie 's face comes on my screen. She is my only other friend aside from Chiara, and another reason why this super boring world is bearable.
From the purple in the background, I guess she's in her room. Her hair is in a loose bun, and she has no makeup on
After Chiara walked in on Ryat and I, kissing in the kitchen, I practically ran to my room and shut the door.
I know I am going to face her tomorrow. But for now, I just needed a moment to process things myself, and talk to someone who isn't Ryat's sister.

That's what led me to call Rylie. She has been my friend ever since her mother started working at our house. She's the best person to ask for advice from in such situations.
"I thought you'd be dead by now. You know, considering why you are there in the first place,” Rylie responds.
I let out a small laugh "Father wants me to seduce him,” I drop the bomb and wait.
Rylie however doesn't reply instantly. She looks around like someone could be listening to our conversation.
She disappears from view and returns a few seconds later.
"Don't want Kirian barging in, and hearing this,” She mutters as she settles on her bed. If I have any questions as to why Kirian will be barging into her room in the first place, I don't ask.
"So you were saying?"
"Father wants me to seduce him,” I repeat.
She gives me a weird expression before chuckling. "Excuse me, but by " him”, who are we actually taking about?" She asks.
"Ryat Vitale.”
She laughs. "There's no seducing Ryat Vitale. There are the kind of people you seduce and sweetheart, Ryat isn't one of them.” Her voice is even, but I can sense the hidden warning.
"He kissed me,” I blurt out. " We had a drunken one night stand before I even got to know who he was.”
I recall the way his lips felt against mine, like they belonged there. How perfectly we fit against each other. His touch was also on another level. It still sends tingles to my core, and I can't help but clench my thighs.
God! Why did it have to be him of all the men in Italy?
"Well then you might as well succeed to seduce him.” She says, but I shake my head, not believing her.
I'm sure the only reason Ryatt kissed me again was to get me out of my trance. I've been getting those since that horrible incident, and mamma vanished.
They've been less frequent these past few years though. One moment I was having my cereal and the next, I felt his lips on mine, devouring me.

Goodness gracious!
"Look Kira,” Rylie begins in a serious tone, and I sit up, anxious to hear what brilliant advice she has. "I don't think this is a good idea. But if you are so serious about seeing it through then I'll give you some tips on how to seduce him.”
I can't help the smile that brightens my face. I knew calling Rylie was a good idea.
No one gives seduction advice like the queen herself. She whored her way through middle and high school and even college.
Side jobs just didn't help her. Not when her mother was in a comatose state.
However, despite her background, she's one of the sweetest people you can find.
"First you have to go shopping,” She begins. " Get some sexy nightgowns and outfits. Make sure you always look sexy when he's around..."
She continues with her advice, and I listen with rapt attention. Some of the things she says are way too outrageous to do. But then that's the essence of seducing someone, isn't it?
I'm really tired of being pushed around by my father. I'm sick of being treated like a nobody, like my existence doesn't matter to him. If seducing Ryat Vitale is what it takes to prove to him that I'm worthy of his love, then that's what I'll do.
Besides, it's either this or he disowns me completely. Mamma always told me to never shy away from what I want, and give it my all.
That's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to give this mission my all. By the time I'm done, father will never think of me as weak and unworthy again.
With my mind made up, I focus my attention on my friend who is still speaking.
"You've got a killer body girl, make use of it," She says after she finishes her lecture.
"Thanks Ry. You're the best,” I say and she gives me a smile. We spend the remainder of our call session catching up on other things.
She fills me in on all what's going on in the mansion. How mom misses me so much, and Andrei is always on the verge of fighting with father. Luca's busy with some shipment, while Gray keeps getting on her nerves.
I don't miss the way she keeps calling him Kai. It's been ages since anyone called him that.
In fact, I've never heard anyone call him that. I never would have even known it's his name if he didn't tell me.

Andrei said it was after he was involved in an accident and lost his memory. Upon regaining consciousness, he recalled just his middle name, Grayson
Even after he regained those memories he was still called Gray. He hates when anyone, father included , calls him Kai. It's like it brings back memories of the accident.
Deciding not to dwell on it, I wish Rylie a good night, and decide it's time for bed.

\~~~

The next day I'm pulling Raylee and Chiara through a massive shopping mall. I decided to change my wardrobe like Rylie suggested. I asked Chiara if she knew any good malls, and Raylee texted earlier this morning saying she wanted to hang out.
That's how the three of us ended up in one of the best malls, staring at the massive display of clothes and shoes and accessories.
We make our way to the dress section, and I begin to pick out some outfits which I think are hot enough to seduce Ryat. My friends don't bother asking me anything. They just help me pick out clothes, and then wait outside the fitting room for me.
"Why exactly do you need to change your wardrobe?" Chiara asks, folding her arms. I'm in the process of trying on the third dress. It's short and has a V line which shows off some cleavage. "Do you like my brother?" She asks bluntly and I sigh.
That's Chiara for you. She's not one to hide what she thinks or feels .
"Yes,” I say , the lie not sounding too bad on my tongue.
It's not a lie actually. I'm attracted to him, but I won't place it as like. Like is a really strong word.
I certainly don't like him.
However, this is the only way I will be able to explain to Chiara in case she sees her brother and I in a similar situation like yesterday.
"I can't blame you girl,” Raylee says smiling. " He's hot and I'm sure fucks good too.”

Chiara shoots her a glare and I laugh.
"I'm not interested in hearing you talk about your fantasies with my brother, thank you very much.”
"I don't fantasize about your brother,” Raylee denies blowing on her nails.
"Of course not. Mr Romano has stolen all your time and fantasies too,” I tease and she instantly turns pink. I don't know in detail what her relationship with Nikolai Romano is.
However, I noticed the way he makes her blush whenever he's talking to her.
"Shut up. Don't give Chiara any ideas,” She says and my best friend makes a face.
"I certainly wouldn't have any ideas if I didn't see you…"
"No!" Raylee screams quickly covering Chiara's mouth with her hands, and I double over with laughter.
Raylee releases Chiara's mouth, and my best friend smirks at her. I shake my head at the two of them. "So are you both gonna help me or not?" I whine.
Chiara looks at me with keen interest before smiling. "This looks great. Next.”
I turn, and walk back into the fitting room with a smile on my face. It's been a long time since I laughed the way I did just now. We spent close to four hours at the mall.
By the time we leave I have bought a lot of dresses and nightgowns. I'm grateful Kirian gave me his card before leaving. If not I'd never go on a wild shopping spree.
We stop for ice cream, and I stuff my belly with so much chocolate ice cream it'll be a miracle if I don't have a stomach ache.
By the time we leave for home, it is almost nighttime. I have just enough time to grab a thirty minute rest before going to work.
We get home and I head straight to my room. I drop my bags on the bed too tired to unpack anything. This is how mamma always wanted me to live. She always wanted me to be happy, and get a good life..
She worked all her life so I could be happy.
I miss her like crazy.
I let out a sigh of nostalgia before heading to the bathroom. After taking a quick shower I decide to begin operation seducing Ryat Vitale.

I put on a red dress that barely brushes my thighs and does nothing to hide my curves. I let my hair fall free and with a nervous heart, step out of my room.

I know he's home because I saw his car at the garage and heard his voice coming from Jena's room, while we were heading upstairs.

I pad across the corridor and when I get to his room, I take in a deep breath before knocking.

No response.

I push the door open and slowly step inside.

His bedroom is everything a man's bedroom should look like; neat, dark themed and smells of masculinity. My core throbs at the thought of him doing dirty things to me here.

I'm still looking around when the bathroom door opens and he steps out. I freeze in place, unable to look away.

He's dressed in nothing but a sheer towel around his waist, and water dripping down his abs. His hair is undone and the wet strands brush his shoulders softly.

He doesn't say anything.

Slowly, like a predator looking to corner prey, he makes his way towards me. I should run. My mind knows that, but my feet don't comply.

How on earth will I seduce him, if I can't stand his presence.

I crane my neck and meet his gaze, my nipples hardening at the intensity of his touch.

“You know, Amor," he begins, voice smooth as silk, instantly causing my insides to do a cartwheel. “You can…touch. He takes hold of my hand, and slowly brings it up to his chest. “Not just stare."

I pause for a second. But my hand seems to develop a mind of its own, because it instantly begins exploring his chest. His abs are rock hard beneath my fingers and I can't seem to get enough.

His hand grabs my waist and pulls me closer, our lips almost touching. “You're such a tease, Amor, you know that" He whispers against my lips, his hands going beneath my dress to grab my ass.

He hums when his hands come in contact with my bare skin. “No panties, I see." His fingers brush my bare pussy and I moan. “Such a needy little thing, aren't you? Come in here, barely dressed, ready to be fucked."

God!

I'm supposed to be the one doing the seduction, but he's currently wrecking me apart. His fingers play with my clit and not so accidentally two of them slip into my pussy. A desperate moan slips out before I can think better of it.

“Ryat…please,” I say, not knowing what I'm actually begging for. I need him to start moving his fingers so badly.

The sharp ringing of a phone cuts brutally through the moment. Ryat pulls his fingers out of me and though I want more, I run out without a second thought.

Christ!!
