A Bait

Janella flipped through the documents that they had gathered. Seeking the Air Stone was harder than she thought. Even Eris couldn't find it. She hasn't reported to them but now that Martha is here, she needs to speak up.

"Where is she now?" Janella asked Griffin.

"I can't always be a stalker! Gray nearly found me out!" Griffin slouched on the sofa as he asked for a bottle of beer.

"Then, she has to try harder. If one of the kids is the holder of the stone, she needs to tell us. It's the only way, Griffin."

Griffin shook his head.

"The last thing that Luke tried to do was to kidnap the kids or hold them hostage. A lot of things happened after that. Are you sure about taking those little kids from their mothers or fathers? You know Hannah Grace, she will go berserk." He tried to explain to her so she would change her mind but it seemed that Janella was stubborn as always.

She scoffed.

"We know that well. Not if we kill them."

Griffin's eyes widened.

"Hey, the last thing that happened was that we triggered them to kill their kids, it didn't go well. Your psycho cousin died."

"Yeah, fuck him. I am so happy that Luke is dead."

Luke was Janella's cousin and Griffin's brother. All of them don't like Luke. He's a perfectionist, sadist, and manipulative. He killed his first wife when she was born into a boy with ADHD and Autism. The boy was high functioning and Luke should be happy that the boy was smart and not a retarded. But still, Luke disregards his son and marries another to torture.

"If he's here, everything won't go as planned. Did they know that we are searching for gems? Of course, they did. But they had no idea that our resources were unlimited. Now, if Eris comes you have to take her to Martha, make her talk. We need to find the stones."

Griffin looked pressured but he didn't want to put Eris in danger. Ever since Eris was young, he loved her and she's his little sister, just like Danica, the one who was born after him. He somehow missed his bratty sister but he's sure that she's doing fine. But Eris, ever since she lost her sight, felt depressed and was often locked up in another house to protect her. Their grandfather treated her like a gem that needed to be secured and protected. That's why she's like a porcelain doll. No one has ever seen her but the maid that's taking care of her and someone who accompanies her as a friend.

Their grandfather, Lukas II paid Martha enough money and paid for her tuition and all just to accompany Eris. Eris doesn't have friends besides Martha and it was a sad life that Eris was living. Now, they sold her off to Gray and the Rossie Empire in exchange for some details. He hopes that this will be over so he can take his little sister away from everyone for her safety.

"I am sure that Eris had seen enough from them. We can just take her and Gray will never see her again. If she gave us enough information. She will be safe if she speaks." Janella said as she opened up a can of beer.

Eris dozed off a little bit but she woke up on a bumpy road. Gray apologized to her but they arrived at the resthouse safely. He parked his car and helped her out. He gave her a walking stick as he gave instructions as to how far the lake was and since it's quite a bumpy road, she might have stripped over the stones and rocks. Eris started walking around and used her stick to check everything.

The staff greeted them as Eris smiled.

"Come." He holds her hand and takes her inside. "Do you want to make love?" He whispered as Eris flushed. "I'm kidding, my love."

"Here's the Coconut juice, sir. Freshly opened." The caretaker placed it over the coffee table.

She was smiling as he led her to a comfortable sofa. He took her walking stick, placed it over the coffee table, and then, he took a whole round coconut and placed it in her hands. She held it with both of her hands as she gaped.

"This is the type of coconut here in the Philippines. It's different from other countries."

She used her fingers to touch the straw. She brought it to her mouth and sipped. She was blown by the refreshing taste.

"It's good right?"

"Yes,"

Gray moved closer to her and put his arms around her. She leaned on him and enjoy the fresh coconut juice. He lovingly kissed her top head and rubbed her shoulder.

"If we get married, where do you want to have a honeymoon?"

"I don't know." She mumbled. "I am fine anywhere with you."

"Right. We will stay here for two days and then we will go back. Okay?"

"Hmm, I wish to stay longer with you, but I have to meet my friend. I am sure that she's worried."

He reached her chin as he bent down and kissed her lips. Eris responded as he held her juice so it wouldn't be thrown. He pulled it out and put it on the coffee table as he pulled her closer and kissed her passionately. She hummed and wrapped herself around her. She got drawn easily, her whole body heated up because of how passionate Gray was.

"Do you want to be in our room?" He asked.

"Hmm," She just agreed.

"But first let's finish our drink." He caressed her lips with his thumb. "I am afraid that we get steamy if we go to our room."

"You don't want it?" She asked. Gray laughed as he caressed her soft hair.

"You are daring me again, Eris. You know what will happen if we go there."

Eris drank her coconut and finished it up. Gray waited for whatever she wanted.

"I want to sleep with you." She said out of nowhere.

"Okay," He suddenly picked her up, making her squeal. Then, he takes her to the master's bedroom.

"I need the bathroom first."

He put her down and led her to the bathroom.

"I want to take a shower first so I will smell good when we make out." She giggled as he gaped, surprised by her.

"Can I join, at least?"

"I have to pee first."

Gray waited outside and shortly, Eris called. Gray gets in with a big grin. She lifted her dress to undress. He did the same, leaving his boxer shorts, just when she was about to remove her brasserie, he stopped her.

"We are just going to take a bath in the bathtub."

"O-okay." He approached the bathtub and filled it with warm water. Then, he picked up their clothes and put them in the laundry basket. He took a hair brush and a silk scrunchie. Then, he brushed her long hair and tied it up expertly. "You have beautiful hair."

"Thank you."

He takes her to the bathtub as they soak in there, soaped each other on not the very sensitive part, and kissed. Gray loves touching her and playing on her brassiere lock. She was busy playing with the foam shampoo on his hair. He rubbed her back as she let her have fun. But he kissed her cheeks or neck constantly. He was just a horny man who wanted her so much.

"Let's wash up." He took the handheld shower and drained the tub as he rinsed it on her neck. She reached the hand shower and raised it over his head. He closed his eyes and let her rinse him.

He looked down at his crotch to see how erect he was behind the fabric of his boxer shorts. He held her hand and put down the shower.

"Darling,"

"Hmm?"

"I'm really~~really hard down there. I think you should change first."

"Where?" She asked him.

"Eris," he carried her up as he gently put her down on the floor. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her. "Can I remove my underwear here?" She asked as he nodded and she walked to the corner and started undressing with the towel around her. Gray removed his boxer shorts and entered the shower area as he turned it on.

"Babe, clothes in the cabinet. When you open the door, at least thirteen steps you will reach the closet on the left."

"Got it."

She opened the door and started counting her steps. Then, she turned to her left and raised her hand to touch the cabinet. She took a few more steps and finally reached it. She put her underwear on, and then, she searched for the dress but she took his shirt instead and put it on. She couldn't find her bra and thought that maybe she ran out of it.

She suddenly felt excited butterflies on her stomach. They might do it today. She walked behind her and nearly hit the bed. She placed her hand over the bed to measure how tall the mattress was. She finally sat down and waited for Gray. It took at least ten minutes when he came out. Then, he corners her by pressing his hand over the mattress beside her. Then, he bent down and kissed her lips. Eris raised her hand and reached his nape as she kissed back.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

"Not at all."

"I'm hungry." He mumbled and stared at her beautiful face. "I want to eat you up down there."

She was puzzled.
