Tempting Him

Hades~

Felicia's expression shifted immediately, her jaw dropping in shock and disgust as Ellen casually plopped herself into my lap. The room, already tense, became thick with incredulity as Ellen's arms wrapped around my neck, her lips pressing a quick kiss to my cheek.

For a moment, I couldn't move. The absurdity of the situation gripped me like a vice. Honeymuffin?

I felt Felicia's burning gaze, but before I could react, Ellen's next words hit me like a brick.

"I missed you all day, babe. Do I have to wear Veronica's Secret lingerie before you spend time with me?"

My body went rigid, and I felt the flood of heat rise to my face, not from embarrassment but from sheer, burning frustration. The infuriating woman knew exactly what she was doing. I could practically feel Felicia's horrified disbelief slicing through the air, and Ellen, always so damn clever, was playing her part to perfection.
