MIRA
Stepping out of the car, Mira ignored her grandmother's glare as she rearranged her sunglasses in her hair.
The short dress she had on was showing so much skin than her grandmother could ignore.
"I remember telling you to change that dress."
"No can do" Mira muttered under her breath and flashed the old woman a tight-lipped smile.
"What did you say?"
"I'm jetlagged" Mira's smile widened as she gently took out a white cat that was lying beside her in the car.
All of her actions seemed intentionally seductive.
The simple action of picking up the sleeping cat or how she flipped her hair out of her face and pulled out her phone from the bag slung across her shoulder.
The old woman could only shake her head and walk away towards the house. She had more pressing issues.
Issues like how her son got married to a woman she has never met, and the important part is that the woman has a grown-up daughter.
Leona Ryders couldn't wait to see her son's new family. It was no surprise that Archer could hide such a big thing from her.
If not for what happened to the daughter, she would still be in the dark about the whole issue.
"That stupid boy, so much for keeping his personal life private. I'm finding out about my son's marriage with some random person through the internet, really good!" Leona hissed in annoyance before turning towards the house.
"Nana, the fabric company just sent an email". Mira called after her.
"You know what to do. I'm going to rest. I have a lot to do tomorrow"
Mira bit back a sassy reply, she only grunted and walked off to her room. She couldn't understand why her grandmother was so stressed about what was done.
Her uncle had been alone for so long, he needed a partner after all.
Placing the cat in its bed, she threw her phone onto her bed as the housekeeper rolled in her bags.
"Leave them there". She wanted nothing but to get rid of her dress and run a cold bath.
"I want some pistachio chocolate and vanilla ice cream". She didn't forget to order some midnight treats as she would be working late, again.

Scrolling through her phone, her hair tied up in a messy bun atop her head. Mira had messy papers filled with designs in front of her, but she hardly cared about them.
She was patiently waiting for the next day, to see her cousin again after a long while.
Not because she missed him, they have been keeping in touch with each other for the past few years.
It is because of Him.
Mira had spent the past years resisting every urge to talk about him whenever she talked with Lucian.
The last time she tried to meet him was a disaster she didn't want to think about. She wanted to forget about him, to move on. But she realized it wasn't possible, at least not yet.
So, she decided.
Go with the flow, love as she wishes and go for what she wants. She came back this time with overflowing confidence, and was very sure of herself this time.
Get him or make him get her.
Losing wasn't an option.
Mira wondered what he looked like after all these years apart.
Does he still wear the stoic face around like the world owes him?
Did he grow taller if possible?
Counting now, he should be almost forty years old. Forty! Does that mean he has salt and pepper hair now?
Mira never believed he was fifteen years older than her, he looked nothing like that.
Allen Lincoln looked no older than twenty years when he told her he was thirty. She could still picture his bland expression as he told her off when she summoned the courage to confess her feelings.
"You are just infatuated. It will fade with time" he said.
"No! I like you! I'm not infatuated or whatever you call it..."
"I'm thirty years old. Being together with a fifteen year-old is not possible" he interjected calmly.
"This... But I...You like me too, right? You smiled at me, and you never do that to anyone else " Mira couldn't believe all her fairy tale dream was crashing down right before her.
"You make good coffee" he shrugged, adjusting his glasses.
"So, you don't like me?"
"Liking you the way you want will make me a pedophile "Allen pushed his glasses up his nose bridge as he spoke, the action tugged Mira's poor heart.
"You have to like me! Lucian is with Alexis, and they're doing just fine " Mira didn't know what else to say, this wasn't how she had pictured the moment.
She imagined he would simply nod at her, maybe flash her a tight-lipped smile and probably pat her nicely done hair.
She imagined everything else but what was actually happening.
Allen looked like he was holding back a snarky remark, he let out a soft huff and ignored the fuming teenage girl standing in front of him.
Mira couldn't hold back her tears, the man didn't give her any more attention. He typed away on his phone with full concentration.
"That bastard" Mira huffed out and rolled over on her bed and stopped herself from texting Lucian to ask about the said person who never ceased to occupy her straying train of thought.
Mira was dozing off when she remembered the small Polaroid camera tucked away in her closet. She shot out of the messy bed, causing her cat to meow in annoyance.
Her rummaging through the drawer for the camera woke the haughty creature.
Thankfully, it hasn't been thrown out by the housekeeper yet.
The pictures were still in the camera holder, they were pictures she of Allen took without his knowledge.
Everything was in place.
The tall man folded in his seat with a laptop in front of him, his dark hair neatly groomed with a slight part at the side. He never tolerated any slight messiness in his dress.
Another picture of him when he took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, obviously annoyed at whatever was on his phone.
Another one of the rare moments when he smiled was the day Lucian completed his Butterfly project.
That was the second time Mira caught a smile on his face.
The first was when he took a sip of the coffee she made him, his face morphed into a surprised but pleased smile.
That was the moment something bloomed in Mira's immature heart.
Eight years on, Mira couldn't get rid of the feelings, so she decided to indulge in it.

MIRA
Mira could feel the tension between them, her cousin and his stepsister, Violet.
The curvy redhead was like an open book, her pale skin flushed at every jab Mira threw.
She just couldn't hide her embarrassment or throw back a sassy reply at Mira.
The blonde loved how flustered the redhead gets at every of her comments, something was definitely going on between the two.
A wicked thought flashed through Mira's head as she watched Lucian and Violet walk out of the kitchen.
Lucian wanted to escape his grandmother's tongue-lashing, so Mira helped him keep the old woman distracted as they made their escape.
Once everywhere was cleared, Mira went on with her plan. Reaching for the abandoned camera in her bag which she had brought out to test if it was still working, she went after them quietly.
Having decided to start her mission Seduce-forty-years-old-Allen, the first step was to get back in touch with him.
To do that, she had to get Allen's contact from no one else but Lucian. Knowing Lucian, it would be almost impossible to get it unless she used force or blackmail.
She chose the latter. Hopefully her plan works.
And it did work! She caught them kissing. Mira knew her suspicions could not be wrong, she knew Lucian well enough to know he had lustful thoughts for his stepsister, they were raw in his eyes.
The redhead wiggled out of Lucian's hold as she glanced around fearfully.
Mira held back a chuckle.
She just knew the girl was in for it with Lucian. The marks on her were another giveaway of what they had been up to.
Blackmailing Lucian was more fun doing it than just thinking about it.
Watching Lucian frustrated and annoyed only left Mira grinning slyly.
"You have been pestering him for years, aren't you tired?"
"No. I want him or no one else. It is my lucky day these days. Hook us up and your secret is safe with me" Mira leaned into her seat, clearly enjoying whatever was going on.
"Why would you walk around with a Polaroid camera?" Mira shrugged at his question.
"I just wanted to. And luckily, I caught that moment and I have something to use as a bargaining chip with you."
"Allen warned me against doing that ever again".
Mira's expression turned serious at that. She wanted to say something, but stopped herself and had a rethink.
"That was my mistake. It won't happen again. So just do your part, else I will go to your little lover or sister," she smiled eerily.
Lucian heaved a frustrated sigh, being blackmailed sure felt worse.
"He will be at Rock n' Roll. VIP lounge," Lucian stated after sending Allen's contact to Mira.
"Okay. But to be sure you're not tricking me, I will be going with your sister" Mira winked at her annoyed cousin nonchalantly.
"Why would I trick you?"
"You have done that before, so I don't trust you", she shrugged and got up from her seat, adjusting her dress.
"Let me go and polish that doll a bit. Who knows, she might hook up with a Mafia Don in the club".
She didn't forget to tease an already livid Lucian.
***
Mira was sure she was confident enough to face Allen but the thought of finally meeting him seemed to crash down her well-built self-confidence.
"I'm not backing out!" She muttered to herself as she went through the heap of clothes in front of her to choose what to wear.
Settling on a bodycon dress, she found a similar one for the reluctant Violet and they dressed up.
Mira pulled her blonde hair into a high ponytail and gave Violet a similar style.
The two looked like badass wives ready to whoop their cheating husband's ass.
Sashaying into the VIP lounge left Mira's stomach churning in anxiety and anticipation.
She didn't know what to say when she met him.
"Long time no see? " She shook her head to get rid of that lane thought.
There he was, sitting among other men sipping on a tall glass of whiskey, his face still had the permanent Stoic expression.
He was still as hot as eight years ago, oozing out a dominating aura as he sat in a relaxed manner, observing the men sitting around him.
No salt and pepper hair.
Well, he's just forty. Or not.
His face didn't look forty! He didn't even look like he was in his late thirties, he had hardly changed since the last time they met.
Mira felt her Lacey string dampened that moment. He still had that effect on her, bringing out the wanton Mira within minutes of meeting him again.
Her eyes trailed over to the brunette trying to grab his attention and all her reasoning cells died at that.
She let go of Violet and walked over, making her presence known to the bunch of men immersed in their discussion.
"My darling husband, why will you come without me? I'm sorry for lying that I'm on my period. I will give you whatever you want"
She smirked when she saw the unhidden surprise in his eyes as his gaze landed on her.
Allen wasn't surprised at her words, he was surprised at her presence.
"Mira, what are you doing?"
Allen tried to pry her hands off him, but Mira clung on, her seductive smile flashing without a crack.
"What? Still angry? I am sorry. " Mira pouted, her eyes suddenly glossy with tears making her looked aggrieved.
She didn't plan for this, but watching someone cover her man brought out the actress in her.
"Allen, you didn't tell us you were married. And, to a beauty at that" someone commented, checking Mira out.
Allen's veins bulged in annoyance. "I'm not..."
"I know we're supposed to keep our marriage a secret, but I get jealous when other ladies look at you. See? I want to slap her face"
She pointed at the brunette, still resenting her for even setting her eyes on him.
"Mira, behave"
"I will, if you promise to come back home." Mira tugged his shirt rather so hard that a button came off.
"Oh... Sorry" she whispered as her fingers slipped into the opened shirt, sending a glare at the brunette.
Allen pried her hands off, but she latched her right back.
"If you don't want her, you can give her to me. She looks flexible". A yellow-toothed man laughed throatily.
Allen slammed his glass of whiskey on the table in front of him and stood up, Mira still clung to his torso like a koala.
"What about my friend? She will feel lonely without me", She whispered into his ear as her hands slipped back into his shirt.
"I will take her home". Lucian finally made his presence known at that.
He couldn't care less about his cousin's drama, all he wanted was to take Violet away from those hungry eyes.
"Take care of your sister, I'm off" Mira giggled as Allen walked off, his hand gripping her waist.
Allen built his self-restraint for years.
He never indulge in carnal desires that wouldn't bring him any gain_ pleasure is a gain.
In fact, he hated intimacy. His virginity card was broken on his twenty-five birthday after his bestfriend and his brother set him up that night.
They made him drunk and drugged, his member all erect and angry. A woman was already waiting for him, he had his first ever orgasm that night.
He went to the moon and back. That was the night that let the beast loose.
Allen fucked, only for the pleasure of it, and only with women who signed his conditions.
No kissing No touching him Just stay on all four and feel him from the back.
Allen never dated, in fact he couldn't and wouldn't do it. He had trust issues with literally everything and everyone, so baring his heart out was impossible.
The only one who ever shook his ice heart was gone, dead. Katie Tyler died because of him, the reason he tries to avoid matters of the heart.
But a particular blonde was making it harder everytime they met. He thought the effects she had on him had died after so many years, but she proofed him wrong.
Here she was latched onto him like a leech, rubbing his chest with her dainty fingers, leaving his member throbbing against his slacks.
Allen knew he was fucked the moment she walked in and his member jumped in his pants. The outline of her breasts in the flimsy dress, the slight bounce as she made her way towards him.
Mira knew what she was doing as she rubbed herself against him. He expected the unexpected from Mira, she never cease to leave him with surprises.
What he didn't expect was his body reaction to her tricks. She didn't even try hard and he wanted nothing but to rip the fabric off her, bend her over the table and claim her In front of those hungry eyes staring at her.
"Mira, stop" he warned once they were outside the clubhouse.
Mira tugged open another button instead, her seductive gaze set on his face.
He placed down beside his car, but still couldn't get her hands off him.
"Make me. You weren't doing anything when that girl was shoving her tits in your face" she spatted out rather calmly as if her other hand weren't digging into his trousers.
"I don't want her. Besides, what does that have to do with you?" He pushed his glasses back in place, a breathy moan escaped his lips as her hand came in contact with his half erected member.
"Everything. It has everything to do with me" Mira wrapped her hands around his dick, the organ springing up into full erection, straining against the fabric caging it.
"Mira..."
"You are hard. Do you want a release? I know a few tricks" she smiled so innocently like she wasn't pumping his dick in a painfully slow motion.
"Mira..." She loved how her name sounded coming from him, the breathy moans that he tries to hold back.
"You are blushing? For me?"
Allen muster up his self-restraint and took a few steps away from Mira, raw emotions swirling in his eyes behind his glasses.
"What? Ashamed that I can do that to you? I'm twenty-two years now, not fifteen" Mira moved closer, she tiptoed to reach for his lips.
"I want you, even though I tried not to. After all these years, I still want nothing but to be fucked by you, Allen" she whispered, her lips hovering over his.
"I don't want you." Mira thought she could get used to being rejected by Allen, but the sharp pain that slammed her as he said those words reminded her how deep her feelings for him were.
"You don't have to" I just have to seduce you to do so. She declared the last part to herself, her eyes boring into his as she placed her lips on his.
Allen hated intimacy! He hated kissing, so Mira's action should be hated as well.
So, why does the soft feel of her lips against his so good?
What was that tingling tug in his chest?
Why did he want to pull her closer and have a better taste of her as she pulled away?
Fuck it!
He opened the car door and pushed her in before going to the other side.
Mira was quiet as the aroused man drove to wherever, his grip on the wheel couldn't be any tighter.
She smirked down at the tent on his groin area without shame. Knowing that she had such effect on him left her hanging somewhere in the middle.
Could it be her seduction worked?
Or he was drunk and needed a release?
Whatever it is, tonight would be the beginning. Either he get a taste and get addicted or she try harder.
There was no giving up on Allen.
***
Lips locked in a hot kiss, hot breaths mingling. Mira tugged off the rest of the buttons hiding Allen's delicious torso away.
Allen never thought a kiss would feel so good, so addictive. His hands groped her body, pulling at the black dress which hugged her curves like a second skin.
He trailed kisses down her neck towards the freed boobs. Mira was pushed against the door, one leg around Allen's waist as her clothes wet core rubbed against his straining member.
"Fuck!" Mira couldn't think straight.
Of all her imagination, experiencing his touches for real was mind-blowing. Her body was reacting to every single touch, leaving her soaking wet in anticipation.
His experienced hands and mouth left her with muddled head, unable to think.
She meant to seduce him and leave him hanging with a blue balls, but here she was with his tongue buried within her needy cunt lapping away on her dripping juice.
"Fuck! Wait! Oh my!" Her eyes rolled back as another wave of climax hit her right then.
Allen straightened up, his chin covered in her release. He leaned against her panting, his erection threatening to burst out of his trousers.
He didn't expect this part of the night as well. This is wrong! She is way too young for you!
Allen barely listened to the warning voice in his head. What he expected later that night was fucking the brunette from the clubhouse with her back to him as he chased his release.
He never cared about how they feel during sex, he was doing it for himself.
"I'm going to fuck you up, your mouth and your cunt. You agree?" He wheezed out.
"Only if you would like me back" Mira replied, a wicked smirk gracing her flushed face.
"Don't fuck with me" Allen warned.
"No, I want to fuck you" she grabbed his dick through his trousers and slides down, kneeling in front of him.
Allen stopped her, and was out of her sight in a matter of seconds.
She found him in the living room, sitting with long legs spread out as he motioned her to come over.
"You are going to blow me, fuck me, and ride me_"
"And get fucked" Mira interjected and walked over.
