Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 134

Ch-133

After Lunch, Aiden and Regan went to the study to discuss their things. While Eleanor and Cedric went to the backyard. They sat on a stone bench under a tree shade, as they enjoyed their space.

“Happy?” Cedric asked.

“Hmmm… yeah,” Eleanor replied.

“Even I am happy,” he said.

“I know. Our marriage will be fixed soon,” Eleanor said with a smile.

“Yeah… and Martin is showing some moments. It is a good sign…” Cedric added.

“Indeed,” she said but sighed in the end.

“What happened?” Cedric asked, noticing her sigh.

“Nothing, this and that,” Eleanor said. She badly wanted to talk about her brother. She realized instead of searching about the incident alone, it would be fruitful with two people. But she was way too used to him. Even others were pointing at her saying she was using him. Edward’s behavior proved that to her. She just sighed at everything. This was her first time leaning on someone way too much that made her feel like, without him, she couldn’t do anything.

Eleanor wondered if she was just feeling this way with him or was she that useless? If she was useless… then everything she achieved was nothing? She couldn’t help but feel bitter. Closing her eyes, she let the calm breeze hit her face as she leaned back on the backrest.

“Don’t worry everything will be alright,” Cedric said.

Cedric understood that something was going on in her mind, if she wanted to say she would have said that. If not she wouldn’t have been silent.

“Do you have any plans tonight?” Cedric asked after some silence.

“No…why?” she said.

“I want you to meet my friends,” he said.

“Oh,” she responded.

“If you are okay I will do the arrangements,” he added.

“Okay,” she said.

Cedric smiled at her response. He moved closer to her and pulled her into his embrace. He could smell her unique fragrance which was a mixture of jasmine and orange.

“I love you,” these words left his mouth without his knowledge. But he didn’t regret it. After all, he said these words to the love of his life.

Eleanor felt lighter in his embrace. Burying her head in his chest, she snuggled closer to him. She felt warm and comfortable in his embrace. His masculine scent was calming her nerves. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed his scent along with the cool breeze under the shade of the tree. Oddly everything calmed her down. Despite everything she couldn’t help but feel that there was still a question with no answer. Was she using him too much? She was immersed in her thoughts when she heard his voice.

“I love you,” these words felt like music to her ears. Yes, she was in love with him. If she doesn’t share her worries and troubles with him then with whom she will share? It’s her right to use him. And it’s his right to use her. There was nothing to feel bad about.  She got up from his embrace and sat on his lap. She hugged him tightly, burying her face in the crook of his neck inhaling his minty scent. But she can smell another type of odor too.

Cedric was shocked at her actions. That was….. So Sudden. A smile crept on his face when he realized what she was doing. But her closeness was affecting him. And the way she was smelling him, made him go crazy. He wanted to pin her on this bench and have his way with her. But… he knew it was her house, if he took advantage of her here, his father-in-law would chop his balls and would send him to the hospital. Tonight… after the gathering, he will have his way with her.

“What is your scent?” she asked suddenly.

“Cool Water,” he replied.

“Oldest brand but nice fragrance,” she said with a smile.

“You like it?” he asked.

She pulled him closer to holding his tie. She moved her lips from his lips to his ears in a painfully slow way. Cedric gulped at her actions. Oh! God, how he wished he could punish this little vixen. He wanted to punish her for playing with his little brother. Her soft body in his arms made him irresistible.

“I love it. Don’t stop using it,” she said before biting his ear lobe. Cedric grunted at her action.

“Eleanor!” he groaned in his husky voice.

“What happened?” she asked, lifting her head facing him as she batted her eyelashes innocently at him.

“I guess you need to take me to your home tour,” Cedric said. He could feel his little brother rising. If he goes out with his boner… there would be no one who would look at him weirdly.

Eleanor tilted her head and thought for a second. She understood that he wanted to behave well and tried to suppress his desires. She liked it when he tried to suppress his desires. With a smug smile, she nodded at him.

“But do you know… I am aroused. Such a pity we are in my house,” she whispered in his ears, making him grunt like an animal.

Eleanor doesn’t know but she was pitting her grave.

“Come. Let’s go,” she said. Knowingly or unknowingly she ground on his little brother, he groaned. He was hard as a rod. Dammit! If… if… if only… if this was not Zora’s mansion… he would have taken her in this open garden.

“This is a painting painted by my mom,” Eleanor said as she pointed to a small painting in the hall.

“Beautiful but not as much as you,” he said, hugging her from behind.

Eleanor smiled at him. She traced the painting with her fingers as she felt the paper in her fingers.

“You miss her?” he asked.

“Hmm… who doesn’t?” she said.

“Have you ever met her after her divorce from your dad?” he asked.

“Umm… nope,” she replied.

There was silence in the air. He knew she had something to say and talk about. He can sense the grieving daughter behind her facade. “You can say whatever you want. I am all ears,” he said.

Eleanor turned around and hugged him tightly.”I know they were separated because of their differences. I don’t have much memory of my mother. My childhood was filled with my brother and father. If they have differences what shall I do? Don’t I deserve her love? I used to feel jealous of others when I saw them with their mothers. Whenever I asked dad… he used to say he was my mom, dad, and everything. But I never got to experience a mother’s love.” she said as she left his embrace and turned around to touch the painting.

“Even… when I first met you in school… I saw your mother came to your sports competition despite her bad health just to support you.  Do you know how jealous I was? That was one of the reasons I hated you at that time. You have a mother… While I don’t. I know… I have a brother and father, who makes others enviable but in the end, we are all those pathetic humans who crave for the things or persons that we don’t have or won’t have,” Eleanor said.

She didn’t notice that Aiden and Regan who were about to enter the hall heard her. Regan pulled Aiden from the hall to the back garden directly before they could see them. “Maybe we should let them have a chat by themselves,” Regan said.

Aiden nodded. “You got a nice garden. A walk?” Regan initiated.

Aiden nodded his head showing his acceptance.

“Don’t worry. When god snatches something he would give you something in return. Just like me,” Cedric said with a smile.

Eleanor smiled lightly. “How about we go further?” Cedric said.

Eleanor nodded and took him further. They walked further. He could see that the house has an artistic touch. “Your mother loves artistic things,” Cedric couldn’t help but comment.

“Not mom… My dad. My mom loved dad, despite knowing he loves another woman. And she tried her best to make him fall for him. So… all his interests were hers. But… she failed in the end. She could only make him feel guilt, gratitude, care and everything apart from love. That broke her. In the end, she gave up.

“Well… but this house was decorated by her in the way dad likes. But… still, he didn’t change despite her departure. Maybe he thinks it doesn’t matter or he wants to have this house the way it was. I don’t know. But I don’t care… as he was okay with this.” Eleanor said.

Cedric was silent with her. Not having memories about the person who gave birth and there were reminders of her everywhere was hell. Walking ahead, he hugged her from behind.

“You can design the way you want in our house,” Cedric whispered in her ears.

Eleanor smiled, if one day the whole world abandons her, she could count on him.. He was hers and she was his.
