100 Days to Seduce the Devil

contemporary romance

Day Eight…

~~*****~~

"Sweetheart, Let's dance…"

Abigail's sweet and seductive voice could be heard clearly by Nathan's comrades. Everyone was rendered speechless for several seconds, waiting for Nathan's reply.

Axel and Spider subconsciously turned to the side, stealing a glance at their Supreme Leader who was also in a trance.

Nathan didn't expect that Abigail would be so bold enough to say that… calling him 'Sweetheart' as she invited him to a dance.

Cough! Cough!

Violet cleared her throat to break the silence. Agustav and the other members of the Red Dragon Mafia were puzzled as to why the Syphiruz suddenly became quiet.

Violet just smiled at Agustav but their attention was still focused on their Supreme Leader, anticipating Nathan to say a word. The woman called him Sweetheart! Who the hell is she? Was she Nathan's new girl? Were they seriously dating and in a relationship?

Meanwhile, Nathan turned to Abigail who was smiling at him sweetly. She called him Sweetheart for one reason– Nathan's third rule. She was not allowed to call his name, Nathan or Mr. Sparks.

Abigail tugged the sleeve of his tuxedo while giving him a pleading look. "Let's dance…"

Nathan's mask hid the deep frown on his face. But he stared at her intently. 'What is she planning?'

"This is my first time attending a Masquerade Ball. I want to dance with you." Abigail declared once more.

Abigail thought Nathan would reject her as he continued to remain silent. But after a while, Nathan stood up, offering a hand to her.

Abigail blinked her eyes in amusement while staring at his palm. Damn! Her heart jumped inside her chest when the devil agreed to dance with her.

Then it raced further when her palm touched Nathan's.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Her heartbeat was so loud in her ears. Nathan was so devilishly handsome tonight. His posture… his aura… he was so damn hot!

'Damn! I shouldn't be carried away by this. Pull yourself together Phantom!' Abigail scolded herself inwardly.

As she tried to calm her heart, Nathan guided her to the center, joining the other guests who were dancing on the dance floor.

"OMG!" Chantha blurted out absentmindedly. For a moment, she had forgotten that she was in front of the Red Dragon Mafia. She and others were surprised to see their Supreme Leader accepting a woman's invitation to a dance.

'Does it mean she is special to him? She even called our Supreme Leader Sweetheart! OMG!' Chantha wanted to scream out loud but she held back.

"Damn! Let's finish this deal already and enjoy the night!" Chantha slammed the table, surprising everyone. She just wanted to spy on the mysterious woman and their Supreme Leader, that's why she wanted to finish this negotiation as soon as possible.

The whole gang agreed with her so Violet, Axel, and Spider nodded their heads. They were also curious and wanted to spy on their Supreme Leader. Agustav could only give them a strange look.

On the dance floor, Nathan already put his hands on Abigail's waist while Abigail placed her hands on his shoulders. The two looked at each other.

"I'm surprised that you agreed so easily. I thought you would reject my invitation." Abigail mumbled in her low voice.

"Because I'm curious if you know how to dance…" Nathan replied. In fact, he couldn't understand himself either as to why he agreed.

Was he bewitched by her emerald eyes when she gave him a pleading look a while ago?

Abigail felt like Nathan wanted to test her. Well… she knew how to dance. She learned how to dance on formal occasions as part of her training. Most of her targets belonged to the upper class and to gather information she had to mingle with them in their world!

The two started dancing when suddenly Abigail heard Bam-Bam's faint voice. The flying magical creature finally reappeared.

"Move closer to him, Phantomflake. Grab this opportunity! You are doing well." Bam-Bam urged her with a teasing smile on his face.

Abigail frowned, but she reflexively followed his instruction. Abigail anchored her arms around Nathan's neck and she moved closer, pressing her head against his chest. She wanted to know if his heart was racing as well. She sank further into his body, feeling his warmth.

Nathan froze in his spot because of Abigail's actions. Her body was so close to him. He could smell her strawberry shampoo and feel the softness of her body.

The two were no longer moving. They just stood on the dance floor with their bodies pressed to each other.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Abigail's lips curled up into a triumphant smile when she heard the loud beating of Nathan's heart. So it was not only her!

'He smells so good…' Abigail thought to herself, comfortably burying her face on his chest.

Nathan's lips were pressed together, forming a thin line as he felt like Abigail was taking advantage of him. He wanted to push her away but ended up pulling her waist.

The two didn't look like they were dancing. They were hugging each other in the middle of the crowd!

"Oh my gosh, twinnie! Are you seeing what I am seeing?!" Chantha shrieked as she witnessed their Supreme Leader hugging a woman in the middle of the dance floor.

They just finished their secret meeting with the Red Dragon Mafia. And they immediately stood up to search for their Supreme Leader on the dance floor.

Even Spider and Axel had the same dumbfounded expression as they watched their Supreme Leader incomprehensibly. It had been so long since the last time Nathan got close or intimate with a woman.

Violet, who was very silent, just took her phone and started clicking her phone camera. She wanted to take this evidence just in case they had to interrogate their team leader about his date.

"Hey? What are you going to do with those photos?" Chantha asked her twin sister again.

"Hmm. I'm going to sell this. Or use this to blackmail our Supreme Leader," Violet responded jokingly.

"Blackmail, Supreme Leader? Do you wanna die, Sistah?" Chantha asked her in disbelief.

"Haha. Of course not. I guess I should sell this to his best friends– Aiden and Stephen."
