Farewell To My Endless Love

Chapter 77 Seduction

Scarlett's POV:

"Are you crazy?!" I bellowed while kneading my wrist and glaring at him as he had just thrown me onto the sofa.

"Be mindful of your actions." Charles yanked off his tie and threw it on the floor. Then, he unbuttoned several buttons of his shirt, knelt on the sofa on one knee, and bent over to me. "Don't you dare run away while I shower, or else you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow," he warned in a barely audible tone, which made my hair stand on its end.

"Fine. But stay at least ten foot away from me. You're not allowed to kiss or hug me either." I put forward a request, dissatisfied with his domineering attitude.

Charles snorted and pinched my face. "You wish, Scarlett. Stop dreaming that you can challenge my authority."

I rolled my eyes and threw a pillow at him as I watched him leave.

While Charles was taking a shower, I sat on the sofa and thought of ways on how to get rid of him.

All of a sudden, Nate called. I glanced at the closed bathroom door and heaved a heavy sigh before I answered the call.

"Is Charles at your place?" Nate asked in his usual greasy voice.

"It's none of your business. Leave me alone, and stop calling me." I refuted Nate without a second thought. I was tired of him bothering me all the time.

However, he seemed rather amused. "Oh, stop playing hard to get, Scarlett. Just so you know, I can satisfy you in bed."

"You wish. You're nothing compared to Charles. He's strong and athletic, unlike you, dirty old man. If you want to describe yourself, you should be realistic," I retorted sarcastically. I had known that Nate was full of himself, but I did not know that he was this shameless.

"But I'm more experienced than he is. Charles is still young. He still has a long way to go, don't you think?" Nate seemed proud of himself for sleeping with many women. But instead of feeling impressed, I was disgusted.

It was uncomfortable talking to him, but I endured it. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. With my phone in his hand, I walked to the bathroom and gently asked, "Charles, do you want me to select your pajamas?"

"Sure," Charles answered with the sound of running water in the background.

Now that I had gotten the answer that I wanted, I sneered and hung up the call. If Nate was smart enough, he would not call me so brazenly again.

Charles came out of the bathroom after a while. He was not wearing anything except for the bath towel that was hung loosely on his hips. I could also see his well-toned abs even from afar.

"Where are my pajamas?" Charles looked around and frowned in confusion when he saw that his pajamas were nowhere in sight.

I turned around and muttered, "Find it yourself." I was still in a bad mood because of Nate.

Without a word, Charles picked up my phone and input the password.

I could not help but look at him gloomily. He knew everything about me, did he not?

Unfortunately for him, I had already deleted the call log. As Charles could not find anything, he just chucked my phone aside disappointedly. To my surprise, he held up my face and looked into my

eyes as though he were trying to retrieve information from them.

His intense gaze brought a bitter feeling to my heart. I lowered my eyes and mumbled, "Don't look at me like that."

Charles never listened to my words. Regardless of my plea, he did not take his eyes off me. He pinched my chin harder, forcing me to look up at him. The ambiguous atmosphere now turned romantic. Unable to stand his gaze, my face turned red again.

"What's wrong? Unhappy?" Charles moved close to me that I could feel his warm breath on my face. I was so nervous that I instinctively held my breath.

At that moment, I cleared my throat to ease the awkwardness between us. "Stop. Don't get too close to me."

Charles snickered. "Beg me."

I swallowed hard and averted my gaze. "Charles, stop seducing me!"

"I'm not seducing you. You're a woman with strong willpower, aren't you? I don't have the ability to challenge your self-restraint, do I?" Charles blinked, and his thick eyelashes fluttered like two little fans. Impressively, they made him appear more innocent.

"If you're not seducing me, then why are in front of me, half-naked?" I asked in a low voice. I turned my face away and did not dare to look at him.

Charles held my hand and chuckled. "Didn't you say you'd select my pajamas? I don't see them. Without pajamas, I can only be naked. Perhaps you actually don't want me to wear anything, so you keep muttering excuses."

"Of course not!" Embarrassed, I raised my head and looked at him. However, the sight of his beautiful smile stunned me. It was as bright and warm as the sun during winter. I rarely saw him smile like this.

But before I could come to my senses, everything turned black. It turned out that Charles had leaned over and kissed me with lust and desire burning inside him. Unlike before, his kiss was fervent and wild, and it seemed as though he was going to swallow my whole tongue.

I struggled to squirm free from his arms but to no avail. So, I leaned my head back slightly and whispered, "Don't push your luck."

"You should learn to embrace what you truly feel." Charles held me tighter and did not allow me to get out of his embrace. With one hand on my waist and the other on the back of my head, he kissed me passionately once again.

His kiss rendered me speechless, and I could only hit his back to express my dissatisfaction.

"Focus." Charles held my hands and looked at me with eyes filled with desire. Unable to do anything, I followed his lead and allowed myself to indulge in his wonderful kiss.

It was not until the phone rang that I came to my senses and was able to get out of his arms.

Charles' POV:

I only let go of Scarlett when my phone rang for the third time. I could not help but curse inwardly. Why was it that every time I got a moment with Scarlett, someone would call and ruin everything?

As I saw Scarlett staring at me with her doe eyes, I felt compelled to kiss her on the lips again.

She pushed me and urged, "Answer the call."

I sighed and kissed her forehead. With my arms around her, I answered the call and put it on speaker.

"Let go of me," Scarlett whispered while struggling to get out of my arms.

I took a deep breath and, without warning, bit her on the neck. It was unwise of her to move like that in the arms of a man, who had been holding back his desire for a long time. At that moment, I suppressed my lust and cast a warning look at her.

Scarlett seemed to understand what I meant. She wrinkled her nose in displeasure but stopped moving.

"Charles, can you hear me?" Rita asked at the other end of the line. I frowned and waited for her to continue.

She was silent for a moment as though she did not expect I would be so cold to her. "Charles, can you come to my house? I feel lonely today. Can you accompany me?"

"Rita, I have already made myself clear to you. I won't go there anymore. Why don't you ask Richard to keep you company?"

While I was talking, the bath towel on my waist loosened and fell to the floor.

"Ah!" Scarlett screamed in surprise and covered her eyes with her hands. Her face turned even redder than before.

My mood turned better in an instant. "Scarlett, go and take a shower first."

Upon hearing this, Scarlett ran away like a rabbit. I could not help but laugh at her reaction.

"Oh my God. Charles, are you with Scarlett? Did you sleep with her?" Rita asked sharply.

"Do you have anything else to say?" I asked back. This woman was getting more ungrateful, and it was wearing my patience thin."

"I... I want to prove my innocence. Charles, nothing happened between Richard and me. I promise I'll behave myself in the future. Can you break up with Scarlett and give me one more chance? Let's start over. Please." Rita begged for forgiveness regardless of her image.

Unfortunately for her, I was tired of her blatant lying. "What happened in the past has been imprinted on my mind. How can we start over and pretend that nothing happened? I'm grateful for what you've done for me, but that's it. Don't ruin my last shred of mercy for you. One more thing. I honestly don't care if you and Richard are in a relationship."
