Billionaire's Love Trap

CHAPTER 5

Today must be his lucky day. He almost can’t believe his own eyes as he saw Cassandra walked towards his car earlier. He was on the verge of giving up after his quest to find her in Vermont for five days ended up with nothing.

But now, she was sitting right in front of him. If it wasn’t for Elijah, who asked him to go have some fun tonight with him, he might never be able to find her.

Keith almost lost it when he saw a guy made an attempt to touch Cassandra’s butt while they were walking inside the bar. This place is too dangerous for her. She was too precious to be here. Most of the men that came to the bar were only looking for a one-night stand. And she deserved more than that.

She deserved to be loved and taken care of. Keith suddenly switches into his protective mode, the one that turned him into a creep.

Damn, she looks so tempting tonight in that tight black tube dress. She was beautiful in the picture, but seeing her up close is even better. Her long wavy dark brown hair was pulled up into a messy ponytail, showing her slender neck.

He never let her out of his sight. He took his time studying her body language and calculating his next step.

He saw her shifted uncomfortably in her seat while biting her lower lips. This woman didn’t seem to understand what she’s doing is turning him on.

Her friends are making it even worst for her by pulling her to the dance floor. He hurriedly ran after them and stopped her from going there. He saved her this time. She clearly didn’t want to dance either, and he would rather die than seeing another man grinding their body onto her. NO! Over his dead body.

“That’s enough. Let’s get out from here.” Cassandra looked surprised at first, staring down at his hand, but then her friends practically shoved her towards his chest. He had to give some credit to this woman. At least she was smart enough to let Cassandra left with him.

Keith walked towards the passenger seat first and opened the car door for her. This is the first time he opened a car door for a woman. Is it because she’s the princess of Gray’s Corp? Yes, that’s the only possible reason.

He convinced himself that this is only part of the act. He had to seduce her at any cost, and he had to do it fast.

She looked confused and slightly intimidated by him at first, but then she agreed to slides into the passenger seat without much drama.

Cassandra looked to his side as he put on his seatbelt. “Care to explain why we have to leave this early?” she asked him with an annoyed tone. He clenched his jaw and stared back at her.

“Do you want to stay here then?” he asked. Cassandra looked down and slowly shook her head. He let out a low chuckle and revved the engine.

“Where are you taking me? This is not the way to my place?” she asked, starting to get panic. Maybe this man wants to kidnapped and kill her. Or even worst, blackmailing her dad.

“My place, there’s no way I’m taking you back to your place, Cassandra… It’s not safe.” He said sternly. Her eyes widened at that.

“Who are you to decide for me? We hardly know each other… And how did you know my name?” she didn’t recall telling him her name. He went speechless for a while. Damn it, you’re so stupid, Keith! Quick, think of a sensible reason.

“Elijah told me your name…” he then replied before he stopped the car in the middle of nowhere. “ Look, it doesn’t matter, Cassandra... One thing for sure is I’m not a bad guy.” Smooth, Keith. He laughed at himself. He’s no better than those douchebags at the bar.

She looked straight at him while raising one eyebrow. “Oh really? Why should I trust you? I don’t even know your name.” she said doubtfully. His piercing grey eyes suddenly softened. The time suddenly stopped as he inched closer towards her.

“You’re such an easy target, Cassandra. If I want to, I can kill you right here at this moment.” His voice was serious yet soft at the same time, making her heart race. His one hand reached to the side of her cheek and tugged a strand of hair behind her ears.

“A-are you going to kill me?” she asked, stuttering in fear. This can’t be happening. She’s still so young, and she hasn’t experienced life at all. She can’t get killed by this man in the middle of nowhere in Vermont.

His lips curved a smirk. “What do you think?” he moved even closer towards her, and their lips were about to touch. What is he trying to do this time? Is he a rapist? There’s no way she’s going to let this man steal her first kiss.

It’s not that his greek god-like face didn’t have any effect on her. It’s just she didn’t trust him. She knows nothing about this man. Her brain told her to escape. She gathered her strength and pushed him back, then got off the car.

She tried to escape from him, but it was impossible to run fast in those six inches heels. The next thing she knows is that she got hit on the back of her head and it was all turn dark for her.    

*************

Keith heaved a deep sigh after he carefully put her on his bed. This woman is so troublesome. He only wanted to bring her back safely, but she tried to ask him many things and even attempt to run away from him.

Well, he had to admit that she’s a little bit weird. Any other woman would die to be kissed by him. But she’s different. This woman is on a whole other level. If only she let him kiss her earlier. He would make sure that she’ll forget about her previous kiss with another man before. Damn, he got furious just by thinking about it.  

She let out a small groan before she slowly opened her eyes. “You?” she frowned a bit. “Where am I?” She suddenly got alarmed and was about to get up, but he pinned her in the bed.

“Ssshhh…Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to hurt you.” He said almost in a whisper. “Are you kidnapping me right now?” She asked with fear in her eyes.

Keith let out a deep chuckle, and it so damn sexy. His dimples were shown as he smiled, and it only adds more points to his handsome face. Handsome men are dangerous. She mentally warned herself.

“You stay here tonight. I’ll drive you back tomorrow morning.” He then said assuringly. He looked less scary now that he smiles. “Promise?” she asked him.

He took her hand and landed a small peck on the back of her hand. “You can keep my word…” he then said before he got up and walked towards the door.

“Wait, where are you going?” she then asked again. It was a very dumb question. She should be happy now that he left her alone. He turned around then his lips twitched at the side. “Going to sleep, of course…” he took a few steps towards the bed. “Or do you want me to sleep next to you?” he asked with a smirk.

Her face instantly blushed. No man ever dare to ask her that question before. “Go away!?” she throws a pillow at his face, and he burst out laughing. “Fine, I’m just kidding…” he said after he stopped.

“Wait…!?” He was shocked when she suddenly stopped him by holding his wrist.

“Can you at least tell me your name? I mean… we haven’t properly introduced ourselves to each other.” She then said in a pleading tone. He then sat back on the bed, “You can call me Keith…” he said with a smile.

“Rest assured that I’m not a serial killer….” He added, making her chuckle.

He then lay her on the bed and tugged her under the blanket as if she were a spoiled five-year-old girl.

“Good night, Cassandra…” he said before he closed the door. “Good night, Keith…” she replied sleepily.

************

The next morning, he brought breakfast for her and knocked on the door softly. After getting no response from her, he carefully opened the door and peeked into the room.

He almost dropped the tray from his hands when he saw her wearing one of his shirts while drying her hair. She looked like she was just finished taking a bath as she hummed to a song. She seemed to be in a good mood today. He couldn’t stop himself from smiling. It was such a sight to see in the morning.

The towel suddenly fell to the floor. Cassandra let out a small curse before she leaned down to pick it up.  

Her perfectly rounded ass was right in front of his eyes, making his brain froze and stopped functioning. All he could think of was to spank or squeeze that perky butt. It would be even more prefect if she could reward him back with her moans. And then he would….

“Jeez, Keith!? You’ve scared me….” She put her hands over her racing heart as she caught him standing by the door. Keith cleared his throat awkwardly.

“I’ve brought you breakfast…” he said, putting the tray on the bed. Cassandra watched him for a second before she jumped back to the bed. “Thanks…” she said, grabbing a toast from the plate.

“I hope you don’t mind if I borrowed your shirt? The dress was very uncomfortable to sleep in…” she asked while watching his expression.

He barely could hear what she’s saying with those slender legs on display and her cleavage that teasingly shown from the opening of his shirt.

Damn it, is this woman trying to test him? She must’ve had a lot of experience before to make a man submit to her every request.

“s**t! I can’t do this anymore….” He suddenly said, making her confused. Is he mad because she’s wearing his clothes without his permission?

“Keith, I’m sorry…” she reached for his hands, and it only makes it even worse. He shook his head then pinned her down on the bed.

“No, I’m sorry….” He said, his voice was strained as if he was suffering from holding himself. She frowned at him. “F-for what?” she asked.

For wanting to kiss you and f**k you right now. But he never says that out loud. He would never admitted that he got swayed by her.  

After he took a deep breath, he finally released her and sat on the bed while running a hand on his face. This woman is screwing his brain. He didn’t have enough confidence that he could behave around her for another minute.

“I’ll drive you back to your place…” he said without looking at her, then he exited the room. Making her even more confused.

What the hell just happened earlier?
