Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 113

Ch-112

“Step inside. I will massage you,” Cedric said.

Eleanor opened her mouth to say something but she closed it. Removing the bathrobe, she revealed her undergarments. She soaked inside the bathtub, earlier she took out her dried panties and bra and wore them. She knew that Cedric would try to take advantage of her during the bath and see how was asking her to massage her. A lone tear slid down her eye but she didn’t let Cedric see it. Cedric wanted to tease her but her silence was making him uncomfortable. How did he wish he could just open her head and see what was going inside her mind?

And her earlier odd question looked like a warning to him. He played cards carefully. Even though his woman acts silly in front of him, he knew what she was capable of. That can be said from the way she handled Amelia Parkinson’s situation. She will preserve any kind of hardship till she gets a satisfying result.

Eleanor soaked in the tub and leaned at the end of the tub. Cedric used essential oils to massage her. Eleanor has to say he was doing his best to get rid of her sore muscles and body. She felt nothing again.

“You know…” Eleanor started.

“When my company went into bankruptcy. No one helped us, but many came to me for the sake of my body. But the irony is they were the same people who loved me and said they could give me a better life than Jacob can give. I used to turn them down. But we know life is a boomerang. They came back to me saying that if I sleep with them for one night, they would give me money. I used to feel scared of men and combined with it… after Jacob got married…. These things increased. I was harassed mercilessly but I stood strong hoping that my brother would wake up and help me.

“But you came into my life. You let me feel all the alien emotions in my body and brain. When we were in Rubyforth country… We almost did that. I was too shocked when I realized what had happened to me and what I did. I am surprised at my behavior. Despite your shameless behavior, a part of me said that you are a good person. And I believed it because… my heart never lies to me.

“And you know… I was happy that you turned out to be my senior. At that time, I liked you but it was for a short extent and my world is filled with Jacob. And your existence got wiped from my heart. And you know… there was no single trace except for a faint memory.

“When we met again, all the buried feelings came out alive. Every action of you made me fall for you. But at the memory of Jacob, I used to deny my feelings and myself that I had against you. But… you broke the bottleneck perfectly.

“I openly started liking you. I even confessed to you openly but again… I have so many insecurities. But you broke them. I loved and cherished every minute with you. But despite all my feelings, I said nothing to you.

“Because… I thought actions speak louder than words. I tried to show my feelings through actions. But in the end, I realized that… just like others you lust me. You couldn’t wait even if I am hungry, sore, or in pain.

“If it was someone else I would not have cared about him. Even I wanted to do that with you, but my stupid heart is not listening. I don’t know if I am overthinking or not. But I felt bad when you didn’t even care about my pain and hunger apart from your lust.” Eleanor said dipped her head lower.

Cedric froze like a statue. He didn’t think Eleanor would overthink this way! God! He really messed up! He failed to understand her and her feelings for a moment. He was a beast.

Cedric continued to massage her body saying nothing. He stopped massaging her shoulders and body only when he felt that her muscles were relaxed. The bathroom was filled with silence. No one spoke.

“I will take a shower and go out. You continue your bath. After lunch, You will take you to meet someone,” Cedric said.

Eleanor said nothing, she just nodded her head and continued to do the things on her own. Cedric did nothing instead of taking shower in the glass room. After that he left the bathroom before leaving the place.

Eleanor stripped herself completely naked. And soaked her well. Indeed, Cedric’s massage helped her body relax a lot and with lavender her lower body started to relax a lot. The water heat started to seep into her body making her keep cool. Her brain started to think properly instead of feeling angry and frustrated at herself and Cedric.

As she thought about it, she realized she was more ridiculous than before. How could she not? If he wants her and has been lusting for her… he would have his way with her long ago. And, Cedric Emerson was not short of women. How could she be so ridiculous?

She herself destroyed her happy go relationship with him. This was not good. Maybe she should say sorry to him. Taking a bath after a clear thought, she decided to step out of the tub. Her legs wobbled as he stepped out. After soaking inside it for a long time, her legs turned jelly and couldn’t support herself.

Cedric, who was about to knock on her bathroom door, heard a thud sound.

He immediately opened the door and saw her lying on the ground. He went near her before scooping her in his arms. Feeling restless, he couldn’t help but frown about her. [No wonder she said those things to me. She was really weak. Even walking was hard for her.] He thought.

His features were not filled with lust but with worry at her naked body.

He placed her on the bed and brought a robe to cover her body. After he let her wear it, he made her sleep in a way that her hair was dangling at the end of the body freely.

Bringing the hair dryer he started drying her hair. Eleanor felt bad and guilty as seconds passed. He was really good to her. She slowly drifted into sleep but soon woke up from her hunger.

Cedric knew he couldn’t cook with the back to back things. So he called the delivery, they already delivered the food. He only needs to heat the food before serving it. Eleanor saw a set of clothes on the corner of her bed. She silently slipped into them. It was a pair of jeans with a t-shirt. There were also her undergarments which fit her perfectly.

Slipping into them… she felt comfortable. Glancing at the wall clock she noticed that the time was 3 PM.

Rubbing her hungry stomach, she started going down. She saw the house cleaned and maintained well before she woke up. A small smile crept on her face.

“You are up?” he asked.

She nodded.

Earlier…

Cedric wanted to ask her what she wanted to eat when he was ordering the food. So he came upstairs but hearing her scream, he forgot to ask her. After that he ordered it by himself according to her preferences.

Seeing her coming down, Cedric went back into the kitchen and started reheating the dishes. Eleanor felt bad for him. He was doing everything for her. He wasn’t even minding her words. He was such a pure soul and how guilty she was to make him sad and accuse him.

Picking her phone, she dailed her father’s number. She sat on the couch in the hall as she waited for her father to pick the call.

“Hello, Eleanor,” Aiden responded.

“Dad~” Eleanor called out.

“When are you going to return?” he asked.

“Tomorrow morning,” Eleanor said.

“Hmmm… Don’t let him take advantage of you,” he said.

“Okay. Had food dad?” she asked.

“Yeah. What about you?” he asked.

“I just woke up. Cedric is heating the food for me,” Eleanor said.

“You didn’t eat food?” he asked.

“Dad… When Cedric was cooking food, I slept all of a sudden and didn’t wake me as he wanted me to sleep more. He said he would take me to meet someone. So he thought I needed rest when talking with them,” she said.

“Did he say whom he is taking you to meet?” he asked.

“No. But he said that someone is important,” she said.

Eleanor didn’t know that Cedric was listening to her call.

“Dad…” Eleanor called out before Aiden could say something.

“Yes,” he replied.

“I want to marry Cedric. That too tomorrow,” Eleanor said, dropping a bomb on his head.

“What?” Aiden was dumbfounded by her words.

Cedric: “….” [Hehehehe]
