Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

I stared at her, breathing hard my body trembling from the exertion. She stayed there on her knees, naked and beautiful, her lips swollen, her hair a mess and I felt a strange sense of satisfaction settle over me

“Get on the bed,” I said, my voice hoarse

She rose and walked to the bed, sitting down on the edge, her hands folded in her lap. I followed her, my legs unsteady, and sat down beside her, my body aching, my mind racing.

I reached out and held her chin, lifting her face to meet my eyes. “You are always a delight, Scarlett. No doubt about that. Now, I have a job for you to do.”

She stared at me, suspicion flickering in her eyes. “What job?”

“You want your freedom, do you not?”

She nodded. “Yes.”

I pulled out my phone and found the picture I had saved earlier. Dominic Ford, stepping out of his black Rolls Royce, his suit immaculate, his expression composed, looking like the king of the world.

“Look at this man clearly,” I said, holding the phone in front of her face. “His name is Dominic Ford. He is a big shot. Very rich. Very powerful.”

She looked at the screen, her brow furrowing. “What does that have to do with me?”

“Seduce him,” I said. “Get him to fuck you. Record it, just like you did with me, and bring me the footage. Once you do that, all your debts will be cleared, and you will be free to go, you and all your friends.”

She stared at me, her eyes wide, her lips parting slightly. “You want me to… what?”

“You heard me. Seduce Dominic Ford. Sleep with him. Record it. Bring the video to me. In exchange, you and your crew walk out of here free. No charges. No prison. No more debts. You disappear from this city and never come back. That is the deal.”

She was quiet for a long moment, her eyes searching mine, looking for the catch, the loophole, the trick. I let her look. I had nothing to hide.

“As long as I fuck that man and get you the footage,” she said slowly, “you will let us go?”

She turned.

“Bring me that video, and you walk. Fail, and you will wish I had just sent you to prison.”

She smiled at me, slow and sharp “I told you, Mr. Julian. Consider it done.”

And then she was gone, the door clicking sms behind her, and I sat there on the bed, alone in the dim light, staring at the picture of Dominic Ford on my phone.

Celeste, I thought. I am coming for you. And nothing, not Bominic Ford, not your new money, not your stubborn refusal to forgive me, nothing is going to stop me.
