100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Fifty-Seven…

~~*****~~

Nathan was rendered speechless because of Jane's bold remarks. She even sounded sarcastic when she told him that his wet jacket would only make her freeze. Jane started to sneeze as well.

Nathan could only take his jacket back, removing it from her body. He was about to distance himself from her when suddenly Jane closed their gaps, wrapping her arms around his body as she leaned on his chest.

Nathan's body stiffened as soon as their bodies made contact with each other. He could feel her hot temperature but she was shivering from the cold. 

"Hug me," she ordered him. "I don't want to die from hypothermia. I bet you don't want that to happen either. You are the one who is going to kill me, right?" she sneered at him mockingly.

"Yes. I am," Nathan responded absentmindedly. He was contemplating whether to push her away or not. But in the end, he just stood there like a statue, letting Jane embrace him.

When she didn't feel any resistance from Nathan, Jane tightened her grip, sinking further into his body. She even sniffed his scent as she leaned her face on the nook of his neck.

Nathan cursed himself inwardly when his body started reacting to her embrace against his will.

"H-Hug me," she whispered in her trembling voice.

Nathan stubbornly stayed still, refusing to hug her back. But Jane would never let this chance slip out. Maybe her fever was making her delirious by doing this shameless thing in the middle of their search.

She already admitted to herself that she needed to take a rest to regain her energy back before they could continue their search. She was afraid she might collapse even before they could find Ethan. 

"I feel cold… my legs are going to give in at any moment," Jane complained in her low voice.

With her remaining strength, Jane pushed Nathan down and she made him sit on the ground.

"What the hell are you–" Nathan wasn't able to finish his words when Jane suddenly covered her mouth using her right hand. And without a second thought, she positioned herself on top of him and straddled him.

They were now looking at each other's eyes. "Just behave and keep me warm." Her fierce and bold personality was coming out. This was her real self in her dominating aura… the Lady Phantomflake people used to know.

She would never allow Nathan to crumple on her feelings again and dominate her. She tried humbling herself in front of him but he never appreciated it. It didn't work on him.

So she had to be herself and showed him what Phantomflake was truly capable of doing. She won't throw away her pride anymore just to humble herself in front of this aloof and cold devil.

"Who are you to order me around?" Nathan scowled at her in disbelief. "Get off me before I throw you away!"

Jane hooked her arms around his neck and brought her face closer to his. Nathan had to look away to avoid her. He should feel disgusted by their closeness. But he couldn't.

'What's wrong with me? Is it because somewhere in my subconscious… I already consider her as Shining Star?' Nathan lamented to himself.

He was having an internal battle within himself when he heard Jane's soft giggle. 

"Relax, Nate. You are as stiff as the tree. I'm not going to ravish you. I don't have enough energy to do that," Jane said teasingly.

Subconsciously, Nathan's cheeks reddened when he heard that. Another giggle escaped Jane's mouth. She couldn't stop herself from laughing when she noticed how uncomfortable Nathan was with their current position. 'Did he blush? Or is it just my imagination?'

"Are you playing with me, Phantomflake?" Nathan raised his eyebrow, his expression turned grim.

"Of course not. I'll only play with SizzlingAugust," Jane said, making Nathan speechless.

'I'm SizzlingAugust,' Nathan mumbled to himself, pursing his lips.

Jane's expression suddenly became serious. She stared at him intently. Without a warning, she moved her hands, cupping Nathan's face.

Not breaking their eye contact, Jane said, "I wonder what he looks like. Is he as handsome as you?"

Nathan opened his mouth only to close it again. He didn't know how he would respond to that. He never revealed to Jane that he was SizzlingAugust. But unknown to him, Jane already knew his identity.

Meanwhile, Jane was assessing Nathan's reaction. Until now, he remained tight-lipped about his identity. He didn't want to admit in front of her that he was SizzlingAugust.

"I think I should ask my father to look for him." 

Nathan frowned and grabbed her wrists. He pulled her hands away from his face. "Why do you want to find him?"

Jane smiled at him meaningfully and responded, "Before I die in your hand, I want to meet him. I'll play with him for one last time and I will tell him how grateful I was because he taught me well. I became an expert hacker."

"Is that your only goal for meeting him?" Nathan asked her again.

"Nope." Jane paused for a moment, her eyes scanning Nathan's face down to his body. "Maybe I should sleep with him once," she shamelessly said.

"Cough! Cough!" Nathan choked when he heard her last statement. 'How could she say that?'

Nathan arched his eyebrow, giving her a questioning gaze as if he was asking her 'Are you serious?'

"Don't give me such a look, Nate. He is my first love! So I will make love with him once before you kill me!" Jane just wanted to tease this guy who refused to reveal his identity. And she was enjoying his mixed reactions.

'Her first love? But she had a baby with another guy.'

"What made you think that he would agree? It didn't cross your mind that he might be already married or committed to another woman?" Nathan asked her with disbelief.

"If that is the case…" Jane paused and pushed Nathan down, making him lie on the ground while she was still on top, bending down as she placed her hands on the sides of his head. "I am going to use force and ravish him."

Nathan: "..."

Jane had the urge to kiss Nathan. However before she could do that, they heard someone calling her.

"Lady Jane!"

Both Jane and Nathan turned at the entrance of the cave only to see Tatsumi.
