Chapter 144 - One Hundred And Forty-four: Friends With Benefits (1/2)

The third point of view

There was so much a man could take, but not temptation waking in a skin-tight skirt and leather jacket. He had lost himself that day and did the most horrible act of sleeping with his boss's daughter and sister; he would be a fool to commit the same act a second time.

”Don't make me repeat myself ” He warned her, took his plastic bag, and began to walk out of the convenience store with the girl trailing behind him.

”Or what?” she challenged him.

Judy gave her a hard look and when he couldn't stare her down, tore his eyes away and instead waved down a taxi.

”Taxi!”

Emily was alarmed, ”What are you doing?”

But he ignored her, successfully stopping a taxi.

He cocked a brow, ”Will you enter willingly, or should I force you in?”

Emily scowled at him, ”Fine, I will go without your help” she agreed reluctantly, tossed the medicine bag at him which he caught, and entered the taxi.

Judy wanted to pay for her transport fee but her glare stopped him, he returned his wallet to his pocket.

”Have a nice trip home” He waved at her, then hit the car door, signaling the driver to leave.

The girl's angry expression was the last thing he saw before the car rode out of sight.

Judy breathed in relief, he just made a very difficult decision right now. Though it sounds stupid, Emily was the only woman who could lit his loin on fire with just a glance his way.

He could not deny it, he was very tempted when she suggested the idea of sleeping over at his place; In fact, he craved it.

After that night spent with her, he has been desiring more of her, causing wet dreams to become his new routine.

But Judy wasn't stupid, though he saved the girl tonight but he was sure Adam had his people follow her-the man had eyes and ears everywhere.

Niklaus might turn a blind eye to everything since his sister decided to be with him.

But Adam would never entertain the idea of him around his daughter - he was nothing but a shadow guard while his daughter was destined for great things.

It was better he suffered from blue balls than get his balls butchered and fed to the dogs.

So Judy began to trek home since his apartment was just a few blocks away.

But he didn't walk for long when he sensed someone following him. The man was not bothered since whoever was trailing him was an amateur.

Judy couldn't sense any murderous intent from his follower but that didn't mean he would foolishly lead that unknown tracker to his place.

Without raising suspicion, he calmly walked into a grocery store having known the fool would follow after him.

Hiding behind a shelf full of packaged foods, Judy listened, sensed, and calculated the distance between him and the tracker; when close enough, he attacked.

The experienced fighter innovated the element of surprise by grabbing and shoving him up against the wall, just as the intruder's cap fell off revealing his - no, her face.

”Emily?” He asked, a wave of disbelief washing over him.

Tears stung her eyes as Emily hit his arm pressed against her throat, cutting her breath.

At once, he let go of her, supporting her tiny frame with his grasp.

”What were you thinking?!” He yelled at her, ”I could have hurt you”

But Emily was busy coughing and rubbing her hurting throat.

Damn, that man was too strong.

”Here, take this”. He offered her bottled water from the bag he had tossed to the ground while going in for the attack earlier.

Emily took it without complaint and gulped down the whole content, feeling better afterward.

”I sent you home, what are you doing here?”. He queried her immediately.

”My gaze never left you for a sec. So when you thought I had left, I simply overpaid the driver to drive back and tailed you, bingo. Moreover, there's nobody home, I live alone and it gets boring”

”Then go to your friends” He refused to believe there was nowhere else she could spend the night.

”I don't have friends either save Maya who isn't available at the moment” She winked at him, ” By the way, aren't we friends?”

His searching gaze held hers as he questioned back, ”Are we ?”

”Yes, we are just a different type of friends” She clarified, boldly stepping towards him while he went backward.

”The friends with benefits” She pushed him against the shelf, some items toppling over in the process but she didn't care.

”The friends who know the way you taste” Her tongue emerged from her mouth with a sexy dance and licked a portion of his face.
