Tempting Fate

88 Chapter 89: The Uneasy Feeling

They left Dynhir and Eve in the field. Dynhir couldn’t keep his anger from his cousin. He thought that the three of them had teamed up against him earlier and that there was nothing he could do.

“Dynhir, the most important thing is that you are safe...”

“Safe? Did you think what would happen? You removed the incubus in me.”

“I saved you, don’t you get it?”

“I don’t like it at all. Never.” Dynhir said something and then vanished from Eve’s view.

She grabbed her hair. “Aren’t you having second thoughts now?”

Eve turned to Devin after she thought he had left. She gave Devin a mean look and then ran over to him quickly. She was going to slap him, but Devin grabbed her hand and stopped her.

“Is that the way you say thank you?”

“This is how I get rid of my annoyance with you.”

.....

Devin smirked. “Will you still be angry with me after I help you?”

“Of course,” Eve said. “What you did got on my nerves.”

“It’s irritating? What’s so annoying there?”

“Why is a promise that can’t be broken necessary?”

“Why not? He deserves to be punished. He should have even thanked me, and I had to step in. Did you see Reed’s eyes earlier? It changes color, it means he’s ready to kill.”

She took a deep breath. “Don’t misunderstand him. Now, no matter what he does, you won’t have any problems because he’ll be afraid of hurting your race. You’re simply going to end up having less power, aren’t you? What if his pride makes you feel even worse about yourself? You’re doomed. You may have gone astray since your clan will be erased on the list of demons.

Devin laughed and then disappeared from Eve’s sight.

“Doesn’t your foot hurt? What’s wrong with the way you’re walking?” Eddie asked.

“Oh, it’s a bit, Dad. It’ll be fine later.” Emy said. Reed laughed, which is why she pinched him on the side.

They have breakfast together at the table. How could she walk straight when Reed didn’t stop her until she passed out? She did all the positions that could have been done when having sex. Standing up, sitting down, she thought they did all the positions until her body got weak. She even laughed when she remembered how flexible her body was. In one night, she surpassed her limit 12 times. He also thought her lips were swollen and her breasts were bigger.

After eating, they got into a car and said goodbye to Emy’s father.

“Are you OK?” Reed asked her when they had left the house’s yard.

“After what you did to me, Haist, you’re going to ask me if I’m okay?” Emy scowled. “It feels stingy down there, you know.”

Reed chuckled. “I just want to make sure you’re going to get pregnant.”

Emy went quiet suddenly. “Oh, why are you quiet? You don’t want to become pregnant?”

“So, what happened last night? You went searching for Eve’s relative, didn’t you?”

Reed noticed Emy didn’t answer his question, but he didn’t care.

“Devin made him take the unbreakable vow...”

“Devin? And what is the vow that can’t be broken?”

“It’s a deal with a punishment for those who don’t keep their end of the deal. And that means he can’t kill anyone anymore. When he does that, he’ll regret it.”

“Would that be better than him dying?” Emy asked. “Because you’ve said before that you wanted to kill that demon.”

“Devin wants to be the one to punish Eve’s cousin, so I’m fine with that. That’s what Devin hopes to do..”

Emy looked at Reed and then did something. “Are you and Devin okay? Do you still trust him?”

“No.”

“So why...?”

“I’m not in the mood to stay doubtful about him. He can do anything, as long as he doesn’t take you away from me.”

Emy nodded but said nothing. When they got to the office, Jasmin was there to greet them right away. Emy went up to Jasmin with a frown on her face.

“What is wrong, Jasmin? Why do you look like that?”

“I’m talking to Avery, Ms. Emy...”

“Really? Oh, what’s the latest on her?”

“Is he going to come back?” Reed asked.

Jasmin took a quick look at Emy and Reed. “Avery’s mother passed away.”

“What? When?” Emy was shocked.

“Oh, this morning, Miss Emy,” she said.

Emy was looking at Reed. “Reed, let’s go visit Avery .”

“Okay. After work.” Reed said.

Emy and Jasmin both laughed. “Me too...”

Everyone was looking at Devin. He walked toward them. Reed looked at Devin and raised an eyebrow.

“Instead of hanging around here in my business, why don’t you just apply here?”

“Sure..” Devin said, smiling. “Can I take ownership?”

Reed told him, “You must be dreaming.”

Jasmin and Emy were looking at Reed. “Well, teach him. Let’s see how well the prince flatters, ladies.”

Emy and Jasmin shared a giggle. “Jeez, you need to grind,” Emy said.

Reed had Emy’s hand. “I want coffee when you make it for me...”

“Fine,” they said, and then they walked to the pantry. They left with Jasmine and Devin.

“You don’t have to work here because all you want to do is hang out with Miss Emy,” Jasmin said.

“You are right,” Devin said, smiling. “When a woman comes in, leave it up to me...”

“Haist, will they believe that you’re just an agent? You might mistake as the owner, sir?”

“We’ll convince them...” said Devin

Reed sat while Emy made coffee. Later, Emy finished making coffee and went straight to Reed. When Emy put the coffee on the table, it surprised her when Reed suddenly pulled her to sit on his lap. Reed immediately put his face in Emy’s neck.

“Why? Is something wrong?”

“You..”

“I’m your problem?” Emy was shocked. “Why did I do it?”

Reed didn’t answer. What the angel said last night kept playing over and over in his mind. No matter how much he tried to figure out what it meant, he couldn’t figure it out. What will happen if he doesn’t hold on to Emy? How is he regaining his power? Shouldn’t he look for someone else to help? But he knew exactly what the angel was saying. If the woman got pregnant, all of his sins would be forgiven and he would get all of his powers back. But from Emy’s reaction, it seems like she doesn’t want to get pregnant. Does he do enough? Is he incapable of satisfying their sexual needs?

“Hi, Reed! Are you with me still?” Emy asked. Reed didn’t know that Emy had both of his cheeks in her hands. “You’ve gone a long way. Are you back yet?”

“Huh?”

Emy smiled. “You didn’t tell me why I’m a problem for you.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just thought of something. And you never have my problem.”

“Huh, you said earlier...”

Emy did not finish what she was going to say because Reed kissed her on the lips. Reed had just finished kissing Emy when his body heat. The heat made Reed’s body feel as if it was about to burst owing to the pressure it was under. He claimed her all night, but now that she was on his lap, he wanted to enter her again.

“Reed...” Softly, Emy muttered. He couldn’t stop himself from moaning. Reed’s kiss on her was her favorite of all. She seemed to melt whenever Reed kissed her. But she didn’t expect to see Devin when she opened her eyes. Suddenly, she turned away from Reed.

“Why?” Reed asked, noticing that Emy looked surprised.

“Huh, I was surprised because I suddenly remembered something.” Emy was trying to smile. Got up from sitting on Reed’s lap. “I’ll just finish it because I have to finish it...”

Emy started walking toward the door. “Are you all right? If you’re feeling bad, you don’t have to finish whatever it is now.”

“That is important.” Emy left the pantry and Reed was left inside.

Reed doubts Emy’s alibi. He could tell by the shock on Emy’s face that she had seen something. He turned to the door where Emy came out.

Emy was sitting in her office chair and staring at her computer. She didn’t understand why she suddenly saw Devin’s face. She wasn’t thinking about the man, so why did he suddenly pop into her mind? He turned to Reed when she saw him coming from behind him, on the other side of the glass wall, looking at her. He gave her a small smile when he saw her carrying the cup of coffee he had brewed. Emy took a deep breath and then looked at Devin and Jasmin. Jasmin seemed to teach Devin how to be an agent.

In the meantime, Reed was standing on the stairs and looking at Emy. Before lunch, Emy came out of their shop and handed out flyers to people walking by. When Devin saw this, he went outside and approached Emy. Because when Emy gave out flyers, some people turned them down, others took them but threw them on the ground as if on purpose, and still others took them but didn’t look at them and just put them in a bag or a book. That is why Devin thought of helping Emy.

“Devin....” Devin took almost all the flyers that Emy was holding.

Devin reached out to everyone who walked by, and it surprised Emy when the people he was giving him flyers stopped and talked to Devin.

.....

“Wow, he’s handsome... Can I let Reed out too?” Emy thought.

He laughed a little at the idea of that. “Ms. Emy...”

When Jasmin and Reed came out of their store with flyers, Emy turned around. When Emy saw Reed holding up flyers, she couldn’t help but smile.

“You’re the boss, and you don’t have to do this...” Emy muttered.

“It’s not free, and there will be a charge before we go to bed,” Reed said with a wink to her. “I won’t lose to Devin...”

Emy looked at Devin, who seemed to have convinced many women. He went inside with a bunch of women, and Jasmin followed. They left Reed and Emy outside to continue to hand out flyers. Later, a couple came up to Reed and Emy.
