Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Kiss for a secret (2)

Xavier did not believe she would kiss him so early on. He was patient since he knew it would take some time for Selene to warm up to it, yet she was ready to kiss him for one of his secrets.

Had he known she would one day accept the deal, Xavier would have made it pricier. It should be two kisses for a secret instead of one. It felt like he was losing here.

Still, Xavier welcomed her to get what she wanted. He did not get up from his chair since his lap was the perfect seat for Selene to use.

Selene now questioned whether she should kiss him. His shock was replaced with enjoyment since he was finally getting what he wanted. She cursed herself for being too curious about his talents.

"Why can’t it be a secret for a secret? There is much about me that you do not know. Aren’t you curious?" Selene asked.

"I’m sure your secrets aren’t as good as mine. Don’t try to back out of this now when you just put on a good show. What happened to you being stronger than you look? Was that all a lie?" Xavier asked, his smile further taunting Selene.

Selene had a secret Xavier should be curious about. It was one where she was going to hurt him if he continued to be this way.

Selene cautiously approached Xavier to start the deal. She knew he wanted her to sit on his lap but she also knew how dangerous that would be. It would be too easy for him to trap her there.

"You must stand," Selene said since that was the only way she would kiss him.

"I’m afraid my feet are unable to move. Would you be so kind and sit here?" Xavier asked, tapping his lap for where she could sit. "What are you afraid of?"

Selene knew not to answer that since he would only twist it. "It will not always be this way. One day, I will have you backed into a corner not knowing what to do."

"It sounds like you are tempting me with a good time. Can that day come soon?" Xavier said, trying to hold his laughter as Selene’s annoyance grew.

At least she was annoyed with him and not what was said by others.

Selene walked fast to get it over with and sat on his lap. "I should be on your side at all times but I understand why many might have a headache when speaking to you. Do you enjoy teasing or upsetting others?"

Xavier placed his hands around her waist to keep her seated. "I enjoy this," he replied.

Selene glared at Xavier. "You know that wasn’t what I meant. How can I trust you will give me the right answer when you like to dance around the truth sometimes?"

"You can trust me since I have been quite honest with you. For how long do you intend to drag this out, Selene? If you do not want to kiss me then you are free to get up and we may move on. If you will then you must hurry. My secrets are on the tip of my tongue," Xavier said, his patience slowly slipping.

Selene planned to see it through since she was already so bold to sit on his lap. She did not understand why she acted this way. He would not be the first man she ever kissed but for some reason, he made her far more nervous than those times.
