Chapter 45 - Chapter 45 Pretty lady like me wait

"That's not possible. I'm very busy," he said. "I can come over at your office or even your home. It's okay with me." He realized he couldn't get her off his back and said," Okay. Select a place. We shall have dinner tomorrow." "Alright Mr Carter. Will send you the address," Bella was rejoicing at her accomplishment. After hanging up, Ethan surprised himself when he checked the picture again and his throat went dry. She didn't bother to cover her breasts at all. Her whole body was covered with hickeys of red, bluish-purple and pink especially her chest area as a result of his ministrations. He felt the urge to mark it more. He didn't know why but he couldn't bring himself to delete it.

The next day as planned, Bella reached the hotel earlier than him. She was dressed in a tight black dress stopping right above her knees matching it with a pair of red heels showing her tall slender legs. It had a V-neckline exposing much of her cleavage but she put a jacket not to show it yet. Her lips were painted with a deep shade of red with her brown hair let to flow behind her back. She looked so alluring and seductive. She was directed to her reserved table and settled to wait for Mr Carter while playing games on her phone.

A long while later, Ethan showed up and began looking around till his eyes caught her sitting at the far corner doing something on her phone. He noticed she looked different but in a good way.

Bella raised her head when she heard footsteps approaching her and they locked their gazes. She looked like a goddess in his eyes. The red lipstick gave her an alluring look and he felt the urge to taste it on her lips. Bella looked at him and wondered if there's anything that she didn't like on him. He was in his formal clothes with his coat in his hands and he looked so sexy. After a while, Bella spoke," You're late Mr Carter. It's not good making a pretty lady like me wait." He cleared his throat and said," A lady who blackmailed me to come with her to dinner." He sat opposite her and she removed her jacket exposing her cleavage making him gulp hard. He could see the faint hickeys that were slowly fading away and his throat went dry. More to his frustration, he started feeling uncomfortable down there. "Ain't you feeling cold?" he asked. He wanted her to wear back her jacket. He looked around to make sure that no one else was seeing her in this condition. To his surprise, he didn't want any other man to see her like this. "No. Infact I feel very hot. It must be because you're here. I'm hungry, we should eat something," she said and they ordered their meals. When the food was brought, she immediately dug in and began eating. Suddenly, she started getting a stomach ache but shrugged it off. As Ethan was concentrating on his food, he felt something under the table massage his groin and he chocked on his food. "Are you alright?" she asked him acting oblivious. He looked under the table and noticed that it was her foot. "What do you think you're doing?" he glared at her. "Enjoying my food?" she asked. "Listen, if you think I came here to-" he didn't finish his sentence before her foot squeezed him with a lot of pressure and before he could say anything else, she retracted it and continued with her food. This woman was too bold. She was driving him crazy. As she continued with her meal, the ache in her stomach intensified and she clutched it. A sudden realization struck her and her eyes widened when she remembered that it could be her time of the month. "Bella are you okay?" asked Ethan after noticing her discomfort. "I'll go to the washroom. Will be back," she said before leaving. Due to the pain, she forgot to wear the jacket and Ethan noticed men gazing at her till she was out of sight and his face darkened.

On reaching the washroom, she checked herself and was disappointed that her suspicions were true. She released a frustrated groan because earlier she had planned on tricking Ethan then have some nice time with him but it was now impossible. She had to go back home because she didn't carry any sanitary napkins.
