“Sebastian, I can't leave!” I exclaimed as he continued to pull me

towards the plane. I tried

my best to sna tch my arm away from his grasp, but he was holding me

too tight.

“You can’t expect me to just let you run away without paying your dues,

can you?" he responded.

I let out a loud sigh. I'm perfectly aware that there's no way out of my

situation, not that I was planning to get away with it. In fact, I was

already on my way to see him to hold my end of the bargain when he

suddenly grabbed me from the lobby of my hotel.

“Believe it or not, I wasn't planning to run away. It's—"

“I don’t need to hear your reasons, Blaire. You're mine for a month. And

I want that time now,” he insisted. He continued to pull me until we

finally got inside the plane,

I can't leave like this. Blaze will definitely look for me if I don’t come

back tonight, more so if he hasn't seen me for weeks. I need to assure

him that everything is fine. And I need to do that without Sebastian

knowing the truth about him.

I took a deep breath before letting out a loud sigh, feeling defeated.

“Fine, I'm coming with you. But please, let me make a phone call before

we leave,” I pleaded.

“So you can call for help? No,” he answered firmly.

“No! It's not like that. I promise. I badly need to make a phone call. I

can’t just disappear like

wanted!” I insisted. "At least let me talk to someone and tell them I'm

fine.”

He remained silent while glaring at me as if he were weighing my

words. He raised his eyebrow as he asked one of his men to bring my

bag. I thought he was going to give my bag to me, but I was a little bit

surprised when he took the liberty of going through my stuff. It didn’t

take long before I found my phone inside.

He pulled my phone from my bag and handed it over to me. I was

about to get it from him when he abruptly pulled his hand away.

“Ten minutes,” he said coldly,

I nodded in agreement before getting the phone from his hand. I was

about to step away to keep some distance from him, preventing him

from hearing our conversation, when I heard him speak.

“Stay,” he ordered.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

“I don't see why you can't talk to whoever is in front of me,” he said with

his usual cold and baritone voice.

“Ever heard of privacy, Sebastian?” I asked sarcastically.

He smirked. “You're in no position to use your smart mouth, Blaire.”

My breath hitched when I saw his dark and serious face. My throat

suddenly felt dry, and I gulped, hoping to calm myself down.

“Make your call here, or you're not making any call at all,” he added.

I gritted my teeth to stop myself from saying anything. In our situation,

he was the one who had power over me. I had no choice but to give in

to his caprice.

I hissed while raising my eyebrow. “Fine,” I said as I glared at him while

dialing Sylvia's number.

“Sylvia,” I uttered her name. My eyes remained fixated on Sebastian as

he watched me intently.

“Yes, Blaire?” she responded.

“I won't be coming back for a little while. Will you please tell him not to

worry about me?” I saw his jaw clenched as I mentioned “him” in my

conversation probably thinking it was some guy that I've been dating.

It's better if he thinks it that

with Sylvia. He's way.

“Is everything okay, Blaire?"

“Yes, everything is fine, Sylvia. Will you be okay while I'm gone? Please

take care of him for me, okay?*

“Are you sure you're alright, Blaire? Are you somehow in a position

where you can't talk freely?” she asked suspiciously.

I'm glad that Sylvia was quite quick to catch up. “Yes,” I answered

without much context, which made Sebastian squint his eyes in

suspicion.

“Oh, my gosh! Do you want me to call the police? Just answer yes,”

she added.

“No, no. Don't do that. I'm fine. I'll be back after three weeks.”

“Are you sure?” she asked.

“Yes, I'm fine. Just call me if there's an emergency. I'll keep my line

open.”

“Okay, Blaire. Take care, okay?"

“I will. Thank you,” I said before hanging up the call. After ending the

call, I handed my phone back to Sebastian.

“Who was that? Your boyfriend's nanny?” He sneered.

I just roll my eyes at him instead of answering. I don't need to explain

anything to him. “You can't treat me like a prisoner, okay? Can I at least

keep my phone? Haven't I proved already that I won't be calling anyone

for help?” I asked him, completely avoiding his accusations from a

while ago.

“Did your boyfriend know about our deal? Is he aware that you

accepted a large amount of money in exchange for sleeping with me?

Or is he somewhat invalid, and you're going to use that money to

support him?” He continued his insult when I deliberately ignored him

the first time.

“My personal life has nothing to do with our deal. What I do with that

money is none of your concern. As long as I'm holding up the end of

the bargain, we're even.”

His eyes darkened, and before I knew it, I found him standing in front of

me, only inches away from my face. I was surprised when he suddenly

grabbed my nape and claimed my lips. He k*ssed my lips mercilessly,

and he forced his tongue inside my

mouth.

“Hmmm... I protested as I tried to push him away, but he’s too strong

His arm enveloped my waist in a firm embrace, drawing me close as he

pressed his b*dy against mine. A surprised gasp escaped my lips when

I became aware of a noticeable bulge against my belly, a palpable

manifestation of desire that heightened. the intensity of the moment.

Seizing the opportunity, he skillfully invaded my with his enticing

tongue, igniting a fervor that coursed through me.

In that whirlwind of passion, my head spun, and I found myself

momentarily losing my usual composure. It was as if he possessed a

unique power, an ability to make my b*dy forget all doubts and

inhibitions in the face of the electrifying connection we shared.

The world around us blurred as this unexpected encounter unfolded,

leaving me in a

state of surrender to the compelling forces of desire. His touch and the i

between us created an intoxicating dance that defied rational thought.

As Sebastian's hand began to navigate its way around my b*dy,

creating an electric charge in the air, we were abruptly interrupted by

the unmistakable sound of someone clearing their throat behind us. It

felt like a sudden shock of cold water cascading over me, jolting me

back to reality in an instant. The surreal moment shattered, and my

senses returned with a snap.

Reacting swiftly, I exerted all my strength to push Sebastian away, but

his resistance held firm. After several attempts, he finally released my

lips with an audible groan, the abrupt disconnection echoing the

tension that lingered between us.

“What?” he bellowed at the person who had interrupted us.

“Sir, we're about to take off,” the voice replied nervously, revealing an

unexpected witness to the intimate scene.

The revelation sent a wave of embarrassment through me, and I could

feel the heat rising to my cheeks. The dissonance between the charged

atmosphere a moment ago and the reality of the impending journey

created an awkward tension, leaving me grappling with a mix of

emotions in the wake of the unexpected interruption.

Sebastian, visibly irritated by the interruption, shot a sharp look at the

nervous figure behind us. The tension in the air was palpable as he

collected himself, adjusting his disheveled appearance.

“Fine, we'll be there shortly, he retorted, his tone laced with annoyance.

hastily retreated, leaving us in an awkward silence within the confines

of the private The person plane.

The realization of being observed brought a flush of embarrassment,

and I quickly straightened my disheveled attire, attempting to regain a

semblance of composure. Sebastian, still visibly frustrated, ran a hand

through his hair, his piercing gaze fixed on

me.

“What a nuance,” he muttered, more to himself than to me. “Let's go,”

he said, offering his hand to me.

I arched an eyebrow, skepticism etched across my face, as I observed

Sebastian's attempt at a chivalrous gesture. “It's a bit late for you to

play the gentleman card, Sebastian. We both know that’s not your

usual style.”

He smirked, a hint of mischief in his eyes. “I can be a gentleman if I

want to. But I can also be rough if you prefer, he stated, injecting a

subtle double entendre into his words.

My response was a well-practiced eye roll, a silent declaration of my

resistance to his charm. Without giving him much acknowledgment, I

walked past him, intentionally choosing the seat across from where he

had been moments ago. However, as anticipated, Sebastian promptly

occupied the seat next to mine, leaving me with minimal space and a

proximity that I had hoped to avoid.

The hum of the plane's engines filled the cabin as I settled into my seat,

determined to maintain a boundary of personal space despite

Sebastian's calculated proximity. The subtle tension between us

lingered, a silent reminder of the intricate dance we seemed destined to

perform during this journey.

“You can't escape me that easily,” he remarked with a smirk, his

proximity creating an electric charge in the air.

I sighed, acknowledging the futility of attempting to establish physical

distance. “You seem to enjoy making my life miserable, don't you?”

His chuckle resonated, a sound that carried both amusement and a hint

of something more elusive. “It has been more interesting that way, don’t

you think?”

I turned to gaze out of the small window, masking the flicker of

emotions stirred by his closeness. The landscape below seemed to blur

as my thoughts delved into the; uncharted territories of our shared

history.

Sebastian, undeterred by my attempt at distance, leaned in slightly, his

voice carrying a provocative undertone. “You know, resisting won't

make it any easier for you.”

I shot him a skeptical glance, crossing my arms. “I've been handling

your antics for a while, Sebastian. I can manage just fine.”

He laughed, and the sound filled the plane

I couldn't ignore the fact that Sebastian

was still close, reminding me of the unsaid things between us.

The flight started, and I tried to focus on what I could see outside

hoping to distract myself from Sebastian's presence. But, unknown to

my knowledge, this trip wasn't just about going from one place to

another. It was about how things were changing between us-feelings,

pushbacks, and parts of our history that were yet to be explored.

“Where the hell are you taking me, Sebastian?” I inquired, my curiosity

tinged with at hint of apprehension.

He met my gaze, a smirk playing on his lips. “Somewhere where you

can’t hide from. me anymore,” he replied.

“That didn’t answer my question at all,” I retorted, frustration evident in

my tone.

Sebastian's response was a sly grin, and he leaned back in his seat,

exuding an air of mysterious confidence. “Patience, love. You'll know

when we get there,” he said, his words laced with a teasing undertone.

Trying to get information from Sebastian was a waste of time, and it

made me feel frustrated. It was clear he had no plans to tell me where

we were headed. Accepting that I wouldn't get any answers, I decided

to look out the window at the scenery passing by. During the entire

flight, I purposely ignored him, creating a quiet distance between us

that echoed the lingering questions hanging in the air.
