Traitor In Their Midst

Accepting his proposal

“Are you really?” He was trying to read my face, as I knew perfectly well that he could look through the stone. My heart started hammering and he pulled me in his embrace.” Lets see how faithful you are. When I kiss you.”

I don’t want to kiss you, I am not the foolish teenager whom you left behind. I was panicking but he was smiling devilishly. I  was trembling but it seemed to give Gray a good deal of satisfaction. 

Please,Gray! let me go. I pleaded.

"You said that before, too. Remember your seventeenth birthday, but you weren't pleading."

It brought back all the memories of humiliation of that night  and I tried to pull free.

“Not yet, Ellie, saying that he pulled my head to his shoulders and tilted my face, and looking into my eyes for a second he closed his lips over mine. Nobody had ever kissed me like that before, nobody but Gray that night when I  was seventeen. It had been my weakness from that time. After that I had never allowed anyone to kiss me till Troy arrived in the scene.  He held me tightly while kissing me.

I seemed to be falling, my head was spinning and my heartbeat started beating faster. I tied to push him but he held me more tightly his mouth moving over mine searching for more and more response until my legs gave away and I sank completely against him.

When his hands cupped my breast I trembled with shock and although he felt it , he never relented and his fingers found my tight n****e through the silken t-shirt and started stroking it, I was on fire and moaned anxiously, he lifted his head but his hands kept on exploring me.

“So tell me Ellie does Troy touch you the way I do and kiss you endlessly.” He rasped, his eyes probing her.” You did seduce me tonight and I am really impressed.”

I shook my head numbly, unable to speak and his fingers closed hard over my tender breast, possessive and ruthless.

I am glad you are not trying to deny it Ellie that you tried to seduce me but now what?Do you want me to have s*x with you? He asked me huskily.

“Ellie, I hope you have finished your talk with Gray, we are coming up.” Rita called out from the hall.

I pushed Gray away and told her to come.

Gray tried to grab me again and I shouted saying, if he touches me I will tell Paul.

He threw back his head and laughed at me.

You're still very weird Ellie. I am 28 years old and Paul’s best friend. Do  you think he will believe you?

 I knew better, knowing my brothers so I glared at him angrily.

“Doesn’t Troy lose his head and kiss you when you get angry? “ he said and narrowed his eyes.

 “Troy is not like you”  I said pointing to the door signalling him to go out. “ we have a perfectly smooth relationship.”

“Did you say boring”? Gray said sarcastically.

I shouted and told him to leave.

Just then Rita came in with a slice of homemade chocolate cake, which was my favourite.

She looked at both of us and said,” So what did you decide about Gray's proposal Ellie?”

Gray looked at me and so did Rita.

I took a long breath and told them my decision to accept Gray’s help.

“My god you must really want him…why?

Gray was smiling, if only he knew what was going on in my mind.

“What do you think?” I demanded sharply. “ I love him.”

He looked at me probingly and said, “Well I have some rules which you need to follow if you want me to teach you. So you better come to my office on Monday."

After I agreed to come he left with Rita.

 I sat down on the bed and started eating the cake slowly and I was thinking, what is wrong with me I agreed to Gray’s challenge and now he will teach  me how to seduce Troy. Boy, I must be really mad.

I wasn't that naive when it came to men as my family thinks and knew perfectly well that other women of my age had the magical ability when it comes to attracting men, which I simply did not posses .

There had been many other men I had dated before I met Troy at one of my shoot in the suburbs. it started as mutual friendship but later I felt comfortable with him as he gave me my space and for the first time I wanted to share my future with him and have children.......But, although Troy enjoyed my company, our relationship was stuck in between hugs and kisses.  

I tried to tell myself that Troy was a gentleman and that he simply didn't want  to rush me but now he has gone to London. 

What if he finds another women there, I was desperate.

Gray had always been a big influence  in our lives. He helped David to take over the company,when my parents died in a car accident. Paul was very young and had to be responsible for us. Gray even helped Cory in choosing his career as he knew before him that he was born to act. So he went to London and did his acting course and got into the movies.

While Gray was away for the past five years managing his business in Canada, I had heard about strings of linkups he had with models and actresses. He had a lot of experience with women, so I thought he would be the best one to tell me,what men want.

I thought about the way he kissed me a while ago and I had longed for more. His seducing ability is too good as  I had melted away in his arms and he would be the perfect one to help me in what I want.

But I need to set up, few ground rules for him before he starts teaching me as he was the biggest distraction.

I finished eating the last bit of cake and went off to sleep.
