A Devil's Kiss 3

''Wow, you are so beautiful.'' Inayah exclaimed subconsciously and pursed her lips when she realised the position she was. He had pulled her closer to his body and had maintained eye contact with her all that while.

''I'm a man who believes in giving back as much as I receive.'' Jasper said and Inayah shivered and tried to wriggle her way out but he tightened his grip on her.

''I think you need to be taught a lesson. But, first of all, let's see if you agree with the media or not.''

''Let…'' Inayah swallowed back her words when she saw him leaning closer to her.

She instinctively closed her eyes and felt something cold touching her eyes.

When she opened her eyes she found herself being kissed by Jasper.

Jasper let go and furrowed his brows. He looked at his body and strangely, he didn't develop any reaction after touching her.

He frowned and asked. ''Who are you, Inayah?''

''My question, exactly. Who are you?'' Inayah asked back before her legs gave in and she fell to the floor.

''No, this can't be!'' Jasper said and walked away.

Inayah remained on the floor, trying to figure out what just happened to her.

…..

Inayah arrived at her aunt's house and walked inside lifelessly towards the guestroom.

Clara who was watching a drama at the hall got up and followed her asking.

''Inayah, where the hell did you disappear too? Mum and I were worried you might have…''

Clara stopped and frowned when she noticed her weird behaviour. ''Hey, Ayah, are you alright?''

Inayah turned to look at her and shook her head. She touched her lips and slapped her cheek.

''Ayah, what's wrong with you? You are scaring me. Did something happen to you?''

''Clara, I'm dreaming, right? All this is a dream, right?'' Inayah finally spoke but Clara was even more confused.

She pulled Inayah to the dining table which was closest to them and made her sit down.

''Get a grip on yourself, Ayah. What is happening to you? No, where did you go to?''

''Tell me, Clara. This is a dream, right?'' Inayah was still doubtful of what happened to her.

''No, this is not a dream. Please tell me what is going on? Stop freaking me out.'' Clara asked worriedly.

''Clara, I'm just from the devil's house.''

''What? You went to Mr. Miles' house alone? What did I tell you? You're really going to be the death of me.''

''Clara, he asked me to go over for my house keys...''

''But, you should have told me. What did he do to you? You look all flustered.''

''Clara, he…he kissed me!''

''Holy shit. What?'' Clara said and closed her mouth, careful not to wake her mother up.

''I don't know why he did that?''

''Inayah, this is serious. Is he a pervert?''

''I don't know!''

''How do you feel?''

''I don't know. I feel numb and maybe stupid? I feel like my brain is suddenly fried.''

''Let's go to my room and talk more.'' Clara stood up and pulled Inayah to her room.

Both Inayah and Clara sighed and looked at each other.

"Ayah, this... I don't know what to make of this?" Clara stated, confusedly.

"He is a pervert and this is wrong. I am still a minor. He kissed me, a minor and I can report him for sexual harassment."

"The legal age for sexual consent in this country is seventeen. Technically, you are a grownup, but it was without your consent."

"That's true. I'm going to report that bastard tomorrow."

"You are allowed to, but think about it. You said he looked really handsome. You admitted to it yourself that it felt good. That means you enjoyed the kiss."

"Damn it!" Inayah cussed and sighed.

"The best thing to do is stay away from him. But I didn't expect Jasper Mills to have a thing for kids?' Clara frowned.

"He is in his late twenties. Perhaps, just a few years older than me." Inayah shook her head. "What am I even saying? Clara, I'm going to take my bath."

"Okay!" Clara said and looked Inayah as she went to the bathroom.

…..

Next morning.

Inayah woke up abruptly with sweat all over her face. She looked at the room and finally calm down.

''Hey, are you alright?'' Clara asked as she walked out of the bathroom.

She went closer and touched her forehead, ''Ayah, you have a fever. Your body is hot.''

Inayah touched herself and asked, ''really. You're right!''

''Get up and wash-up. We need to get you to the hospital immediately. I will inform mom.'' Clara got down to go out and Inayah stopped her.

''Wait!''

''No, I will be back soon.'' Clara said and rushed out of the room. She came in a little later followed by Miss Gladys.

''Inayah, what's wrong with you?'' Miss Gladys asked.

''Mum, she is burning with fever.''

Miss. Gladys touched Inayah's forehead and exclaimed. ''Oh my god!!! Dear, is true. Get ready, we need to go to the hospital.''

''Aunt, Clara, don't worry. I can go to the hospital myself. You need to go to work and Clara has to go to school before she gets late. I will be fine.''

''Hey, you, silly girl. Is that what is important right now? You're sick. The school will understand and mum doesn't need to report to anyone.''

''Clara is right. Let's send you to the hospital first.''

''This is just momentary. Don't worry, it will go.''

''How can it go when your mind if filled with the thoughts of what happened last night?'' Clara quickly pursed her lips when she realised her mistake.

''What happened last night?'' Miss Gladys looked at them suspiciously and they both kept quiet. ''Ladies, I am talking to you?''

''I was talking about last night's bath, right Ayah? She took a cold bath last night.''

''Yes, that's it!''

''That's it?'' Miss Gladys didn't look convinced.

''Yes, aunt!''

''Alright, make sure you go to the hospital. I will be angry if I call and you aren't gone yet.''

''Yes, aunt!'' Inayah hugged them before they left the room.

She ran into the bathroom and splashed some water on her face.

''Whoa, it wasn't a dream after all. That devil from hell just took my first kiss.'' She touched her lips and reminisced on the kiss before shaking her head, ''are you crazy, Ayah? How can you be thinking about such a thing? Should I go to the police and report him? what he did could be countered as sexual harassment.''

She frowned and went to the room. Her phone buzzed and she took it and saw a message from Clara.

''Ayah, I found the keys to your house in your uniform. You might want to confirm it."

''My house's keys?'' Inayah looked at the table and saw the keys. She picked it up and screamed. ''He really did kiss me. My first kiss.''

…..

Inayah walked out of the pharmacy with a bag of medicines that she had bought for her fever. She unscrewed the bottle of water and took some of the medicine before she started to walk away.

She didn't notice the black Bentley that was parked at a distance watching her.

Jasper rolled down the window of his car and looked at the petite figure walking away. He murmured to himself. ''She didn't go to school. Is she sick?''
