Chapter 34: False desire

Kirt drove his car to a fine seaside hotel.

Jovanni was nervous. King refused to tell him the details. Leandro and Gio's mouths were zipped too, but Jovanni vaguely figured out what his friends were up to. He wanted to run away, but when he thought of how his friends helped him and how they were troubled by his personal affair, his feet obediently followed.

King brought them to a luxurious room. No one was there, so Jovanni felt a bit at ease, but King brought them to the balcony. Jovanni followed slowly. The cool sea breeze slammed at his face as he stepped out. The balcony is facing the sea. It was spacious. A beautiful lady sat in the corner. Jovanni's heart jumped. He had guessed it right, King is setting him on a blind date.

The beautiful lady was sitting on the couch, facing the sea. When she saw them entering, she turned her head at them and smiled gently.

"Pia." King greeted.

"King..." The lady, named Pia, replied. Her gaze turned from King to Leandro, then to Gio, and finally to Jovanni. Her gaze stayed at Jovanni for a moment, then she smiled amiably.

"This must be Jovanni."

"Yes, he is!" King replied.

"Hi, I'm Pia." She stood and extended her hand.

Jovanni felt uneasy, but he's a gentleman, so he immediately accepted the lady's hand for a handshake.

King pulled Jovanni to Pia's side. He then sat on the opposite side while Gio and Leandro settled on the left and right sides respectively.

Gio and Leandro remained silent. They just let King handle everything. When King laid his plan to them, Leandro immediately opposed it. Gio was neither opposing nor accepting, but King was determined. He will execute his plan whether they will agree to it or not. For him, it's the best and easy way for Jovanni to move on and to ruined Kirt's pride and dignity.

King energetically served the wine to everyone.

"Pia, Jovanni is timid, but he's a loyal lover..." King said after downing his glass of wine.

Pia smiled. "I know. He looked like one."

Jovanni smiled back timidly. He thought that a blind date won't help him, and his guess was right. Facing a beautiful lady, his heart wasn't reacting at all.

"But he is dull especially to ladies, so I do hope Miss Pia won't mind."

"No. I actually like timid guys." Pia responded.

"Good!"

King was happy and poured everyone another glass. Leandro, whose heart was filled with guilt, downed glass after glass of wine. Gio was calmer. Jovanni refused to drink more, he knew that King wanted him to get drunk. Surprisingly, King didn't force him to drink. He just poured him and let him drink it on his own.

A few hours later, Leandro was drunk. King excused himself and pulled Leandro. Jovanni stood up to help, but King refused. He said that he will just bring Leandro to another room and will be right back.

After twenty minutes, Gio excused himself and never came back. Jovanni knew he was tricked. He turned to Pia and smiled awkwardly. He wanted to excuse himself too since he was feeling uncomfortable.

"Pia, won't you mind if I excuse myself too?... I don't mean to be rude, but I feel... uncomfortable..."

"Jovanni..." Pia said, moving closer to Jovanni. "Even if I don't mind, you cannot get out in this balcony unless you will jump. But we're on the highest floor, so it's impossible..."

Jovanni panicked. "What do you mean?!"

"We are trapped here." Pia replied. "You and me... We are intentionally trapped here, so what do you think they are up to?" Pia replied while touching Jovanni's lips.

"No!" Jovanni evaded, but he was still respectful.

Pia smiled. "You won't be saying that a few minutes later."

"What do you mean?" Jovanni was anxious.

"Your wine is drugged. Later you won't be able to control yourself."

"No! Pia... Let's get out of here. I don't want to wrong you." Jovanni said while going to the door. He started feeling uncomfortable. Yes, he wanted to move on from Kirt, but this is not the way he wanted.  He pulled and pushed the door, but it was locked inside. He tried to call Kirt, but he forgot that he broke his SIM card.

Jovanni sighed helplessly. He moved towards the edge of the balcony, but it was high.

Pia was alarmed when he saw Jovanni moving closer to the edge.

"Jovanni, you cannot jump there!"

Jovanni turned to her helplessly. "I won't. Don't worry, but please don't move closer to me. Pia, I don't want to wrong you. Can you just tie me?" Jovanni pleaded. He knew the effect of aphrodisiacs. Kirt used it to him before.

"Hahaha...King is right. You are really harmless. You are actually like a little bunny." Pia laughed while moving closer, pinching his cheeks. "Jovanni, how can you wrong me? I am paid generously by King to do this job."

"You...how can you do this to yourself?"

"How can I not? First, I need money. Second, you are very good-looking. If I knew earlier you are this handsome, I will agree to do this job even without pay." Pia whispered to Jovanni's ear.

"Pia... please move away..." Jovanni was restraining himself. That drug was very effective. Pia's whisper tickled his ears. The tickling spread to his entire body.

"Pia, please move away... I can't do it with you. I... I have someone I love..."

"I know!" Pia replied. "I also knew that he hurt you."

"I love a man...! You see... I am not the man that you thought. I cannot do it with you..." Jovanni yelled, but Pia was just smiling at him mischievously.

"Jovanni, I am exactly here to prove that you are wrong. Look, aren't you reacting down here...? Pia replied seductively while massaging Jovanni's bulging lower body.

"Please go away... It's the drug! I can't do it... I don't want to do it!"

Jovanni was pleading. Pia did move away, but he just unfolded the couch that Gio sat on. It turned into a double bed. She pulled Jovanni into the bed, but Jovanni was rooted on the edge. He was drugged but his mind was still rational, he cannot do it! He won't do it!

"I can't do it. Please help me. I don't want to do it." Jovanni was pleading.

Pia wasn't offended by Jovanni's rejection and resistance. She just slowly removed her clothes. Jovanni was yelling, stopping her, but Pia just smiled at him. She continued stripping her clothes until none was left.

Jovanni was stunned. He knew in his mind that he cannot do it. His body...he had given it to Kirt. He cannot do it with another person unless he's completely over from him. He is someone who can't do it to a person he didn't love...

Jovanni's mind and heart knew he cannot do it, but his body was doing the opposite. And Pia was doing her job perfectly.

After few minutes of resisting, Jovanni finally submitted. He was drowned on a temporary and false desire.
