Tempting Fate

26 Chapter 26: Trust

Lorie was standing just outside Emy’s workplace. She didn’t think Emy’s workplace would be much better after they fired Emy from their factory job. She went there that night to see Emy. Last night, for unknown reasons, her friend invaded her head. Before entering, she took a deep breath. Lorie overheard the two women say their goodbyes to Emy at that same time.

“Lorie...” Emy said in surprise as she saw her friend. She went straight up to Lorie.

Jasmin and Avery came to a halt and gazed at the woman Emy had hugged. “Why are you here?” Emy asked.

“Ah, because...” said Lorie.

“Wait, I’ll introduce you to some of my friends,” Emy said. “Avery, Jasmin, this is Lorie, my best friend.”

“Hi.” “Hello.”

“How are you?” Lorie asked.

“Miss Emy, we’ll go home first. Be careful later,” Avery said.

Emy waved at the two women until they exited the building. Lorie cast a glance towards Emy.

.....

“Miss Emy?” Lorie chuckled.

“Haist, they used to call me because my boss is constantly here,” Emy explained. She took Lorie’s hand in hers. “Let us take a seat.”

Emy drew Lorie to the chair where they were receiving their clients. “Would you want anything to drink?” Emy asked.

Emy rose and briefly left Lorie in the chair.

Meanwhile, Reed is standing inside his office, just in front of the glass wall where Lorie is seated.

“So it all started with her?” Reed asked.

“Yes, my King,” Maria said. She was standing behind him. Before killing the two couples at the order of her king, Maria told Reed what she had discovered. And she suspects his king was not pleased with what she found.

“I’ll handle everything. You’re free to go now,” Reed said.

Maria did not speak; instead, she vanished, leaving only smoke in her place.

“Are you interested in working in real estate? I’ll inform my employer,” Emy replied.

“I know nothing about this work, and I don’t speak English well and you know that.” Lorie said.

“I’m happy you came to see me here, Lorie,” Emy said.

Lorie smiled but didn’t respond. “Do you still have a client at this hour?” Reed asked.

Lorie raised her head as she heard the voice. Emy got to her feet and approached Reed. Reed’s presence surprised Lorie. The man in front of her was quite handsome. He is dressed simply, yet his attractiveness is powerful. Lorie’s heart rate abruptly rose. The first time she saw him, she fell in love with him.

“She’s who I told my best friend,” Emy said.

“Ah, okay,” Reed replied as he touched Emy’s waist softly. Lorie noticed this, but she said nothing.

“Lorie, this is Reed, and...” Emy started.

“Emy’s husband,” Reed said.

For a brief while, Lorie was astonished. “H-Husband?” Lorie cast a glance towards Emy. “I did not know you were married.”

“Oh, no,” Emy replied. Reed held her jaw and made her face him before kissing her on the lips.

At the sight of Lorie, she turns away. Emy shoved Reed, who burst out laughing.

“What? I have just kissed you.” Reed replied, then whispered something into Emy’s ear. “I haven’t yet penetrated you.”

Emy’s face was red. “What are you saying?” Emy cast a peek at Lorie. “I’m sorry, Lori....”

“Oh, it’s okay,” Lorie said, returning her gaze to Emy. “I was just stunned. I’m your best friend, yet I don’t know what’s going on in your life. ”

“Why don’t we go out to eat? It’s dinnertime, and I’m hungry as well.” Reed said.

Emy turned to face Reed. “Are you sure?” Emy asked.

Reed grinned. “Of course,” Reed said, looking at Lorie. “If Lorie is fine with it.”

Lorie smiled. “Sure, that’s OK with me.”

Reed led them to an exclusive restaurant near the beach. They ate pleasantly and laughed till their meal was finished. Emy informed Lorie and Reed that she needed to visit the restroom, which the two permitted. Reed sat back on the sofa’s backrest and watched Emy walk away.

“How did you meet Emy?” Lorie asked.

Reed cast a glance towards Lorie. “What made you ask?”

“Well, I’ve known Emy for a long time, and it’s impossible for someone like you to like her,” Lorie said.

“Someone like me?” Reed asked.

Lorie sneered. “Rich, handsome, and decent-looking. You can’t possibly admire Emy since she has nothing to be proud of. What are you pursuing after her for? Have you gotten her yet? ”

Reed smirked. “This is odd,” Reed said.

“W-what?” Lorie asked, confused.

“I thought Emy was your friend; why do you seem so dismissive of her personality?” Reed asked.

“I don’t dismiss her. I’m simply worried because she’s my friend,” Lorie explained.

Reed grinned. “Okay.”

“Okay?” Lorie asked, her brow furrowed. “You will not answer my question?” ”

“I don’t think you should know about things you’re not involved in,” Reed said. “Shouldn’t you be happy with your friend? If what you’re claiming is correct, you claimed to know her, you should know why I liked her. ”

“W-what?” Lorie said, stunned.

It surprised Lorie, as Emy sat down next to Reed. “What made you look like that?” Emy asked, noting a space between Lorie and Reed.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Reed asked. “Anyway, let’s take Lorie and head home.”

Reed sprang to his feet and offered Emy his help. Reed left the two in front of the restaurant and drove to the parking lot. Lorie used this opportunity to speak with Emy.

“What made you ask?” Emy asked.

“I’m only worried about you. I’m your friend, and I normally just watch such sequences in movies and TV shows. You’re not for each other,” Lorie explained.

It surprised Emy for a time and glanced at Lorie. “Reed is a good man. And I did not make the mistake of falling in love with him.” Emy said, hurriedly turning away from Lorie.

Lorie clenched her jaw and squeezed her palm. Reed’s car came to a halt in front of them. Reed instantly got out, and Lorie went in the backseat as Reed opened the door for Emy.

Lorie was deafeningly quiet during the trip. Emy and Reed are both quiet while Reed drives the car, holding Emy’s hand. After a few more minutes, they arrived at the exit in the squatters’ area where Emy used to live. Reed and Emy peered out the car window as Lorie left the car.

“I appreciate the ride. Emy, take care. See you.” Lorie said.

She only gave Reed a little smile before turning her back on them. Reed started the car right away.

“Wifey...” Reed began. Emy looked at Reed. “You’ve known Lorie for a long time, right?”

Emy nodded. “Yes. Because we are childhood friends, we live in the same neighborhood. ”

“Do you trust her?” Reed asked.

“Of course. She is my best friend, and I trust her.” Emy said.

“I?” Reed asked. “Do you trust me? ”

Emy didn’t respond immediately and instead glanced at Reed. He glanced at her before returning his gaze to the road.

“Yeah, I trust you,” Emy said.

Reed smiled. “I’m pleased to hear that from you.”

When they arrived home, they saw her siblings, Maria, and her father playing with Jenga. Emy just placed her bag on the chair and sat down next to her father. Reed gestured for Maria to follow him.

The two stood by the pool, watching Emy’s family joyously play.

“What do you want me to do, my King?” Maria asked.

“Emy has put much too much trust in Lorie, and I will have difficulty telling her the truth,” Reed said.

“Why don’t we just murder the person who began it all? That’s quicker.” Maria said.

“I don’t want to hurt Emy,” Reed said.

“Whatever decision you make, my King, it will hurt her,” Maria said. “If you wish, I can take the couple and let them tell her what happened.”

“Their statements against Lorie, Emy will not believe,” Reed said.

“Then what do we need is proof?” Maria asked. Maria looked at Reed. “You may show her what happened in the past...”

“If it starts with me, she won’t believe it,” Reed said.

.....

“Then? What is your plan?” Maria asked.

Reed didn’t respond. He folded his two arms and merely glanced at Emy.

When Emy opened the bathroom door, it shocked her to see Reed standing there. His lips curled into a smile. He has no top and is merely wearing boxer shorts.

“Why are you here?” Emy asked.

“I’d want to take you...” Reed said. “Let’s share an intimate moment tonight, Wifey.”

“W-what?” Emy frowned as she felt her blood surge to her head.

Reed held Emy and kissed her on the lips, and Reed’s hand swiftly inside her nightgown, tugging her underwear down. Emy clung to Reed as his finger toyed with her slit and touched the sensitive bud there. Emy moaned loudly.

“Damn, you’re so ready for me, Wifey...” Reed groaned.

“Oooh!” Emy moaned as she felt Reed’s thickness head rubbing her wet slit. Reed does this, again and again, and tensions began to grow inside her. His breathing became heavier as well.

“Ugh!” Reed’s body slightly bent as he continued to rub his thickness across Emy’s slit.

As a head the size of Reed’s slid inside Emy’s slit, they let out a loud moan. Reed raised one of Emy’s thighs and then gently pushed himself, forcing Emy’s femininity to stretch forcefully. Reed shoved Emy against the wall next to the bathroom door, and Emy’s grasp on Reed’s shoulder tightened.

“Damn, I’m with you every day, yet I still crave for you...” Reed moaned as he stretched his hard within Emy.

“Ooh!” Emy moaned. Her body couldn’t keep up with Reed, caressing her skin and kissing her lips every time he moved.

Reed grabbed Emy’s butt cheeks and yanked her up. Emy’s leg was wrapped around Reed’s waist. Emy’s moan became louder as Reed began to thrust. Reed kissed Emy again. He plunged his hardness deep into Emy’s core, and he could see Emy’s eyes practically squinting every time he dove. She liked what he was doing, and he enjoyed it as well.

He kissed Emy on the lips again, this time more fiercely, and with each movement of his hip. Reed drew out his manhood for a second, leaving only its head, then re-buried the stretch with a slow but powerful movement that brought Emy to the climax. Her moan became louder as her entire body shook. Reed hugged Emy and then kissed her on the lips.

Reed gripped Emy’s buttocks and moved it away a little, then swiftly drew it back again and over. Emy felt the tension grow up inside her once more. Their sexes collide aggressively. Emy’s feminity stretched as Reed’s thrust go harder, deeper and faster. Emy had not expected such an amazing and wild movement. Brutal, aggressive, and fast.

“Oh, Reed, don’t stop...” Emy screamed.

“Damn, you’re coming at me again? Wifey, come for me... Come for me...” said Reed as he sped up his aggressive movement, and soon Emy hit the second climax, and Reed followed. His hot load spurt inside her.

“Damn, I will not get tired of you..” Reed whispered as his body collapsed on Emy.
