"What else did you think?" Silas teased her, seeing her whole body tense up the moment he touched her shoulder.
Silas thought she would push him away as usual but unexpectedly she didn't. Crystal turned her head sideways to get a better view of him.
"Who knows maybe the same thing you thought." Crystal answered.
She slowly brushed her hair away, flaunting those shoulder blades. Crystal knew where his eyes were stuck, to make it worse, she stroked her jawline with the index finger and went lower till she reached her collarbone.
"Maybe next time I should pin my hair up next time?" Crystal teased, glancing at awestruck Silas.
Silas averted her gaze up to meet hers. She was smiling radiantly which was unlikely of her. From the time he announces their getting married, she was no longer rebelling against his advances, even seducing him.
"Would you mind bringing me the towel?" Crystal spoke first, smiling innocently as if she did nothing just now.
Silas gulped and nodded out of instinct and walked away to get the towel. Once turning his back against her, he took a deep breath.
He is going crazy by her seduction. He cursed himself, he needed to keep himself in control. This was not the right time.
Silas made her heart clear and grabbed the towel and turned around. His eyes widened in disbelief, and the towels in his hand fell onto the ground. Silas looked at the scene in front of him with his mouth opened.
Crystal came out of the tub, her body naked, and Silas got a clear view of everything. Silas swallowed hard seeing, her curved body. He could feel his little brother growing out of patient, knowing himself well that if he doesn't go out of there soon, he would take her the band there like a hungry wolf.
And he doesn't wish to do that. Silas wanted to give her a memorable night but she was hell adamant to make him lose his self control. She was tempting him more than anything.
"I better go check on the food." Silas hastily excused himself from her left.
Crystal didn't stop him, instead a smirk appeared on her face. She walked and get another towel to dry herself up. This was the spider web she webs for him. If she wants revenge, Crystal had to make sure he falls so deep in love with her that even if he wants to escape his mind and would denies it.
Only way to do that was to seduce him, if you wants to reach the goal in life do everything you can. Crystal knowingly only wore the bathroom without anything underneath. Aware that Silas doesn't like make up or perfume, she didn't put any. Her hairs left partially dry.
Checking herself in mirror once again, she confidently walked out of the bathroom. Opening the bedroom door, she stroll down the three stairs with her bare feet.
As she thought, Silas was sitting at the dinning table, sipping on wine. With their dinner kept in touch on the table. Silas glanced at her on seeing her presence in the room. He was quick to notice she was walking barefoot. Silas sighed and shook his head.
He put the glass away and walked up to her, and without a word, he swiftly carried her in his arms and walk towards the dinning table. "Wear slippers next time." Silas ordered putting her down at her seat.
Crystal didn't say a word and just carefully watched his action. He went straight to her bedroom and came back a second later with her slippers. Silas patiently bend down in front, and gently put them on her feet.
Crystal did feel her heart flutter seeing him being so warm and gentle, but it was not long before she killed it. "There you go." Silas got up and sat back it his original seat with a satisfied smile.
"Let's eat. I asked the cook to make your favourite dish. Try it." Silas excitedly forwarded the the well cooked steak in front of her with the sauce.
Crystal just nodded in response and took a bite of it. As she thought, it melts in her month like nothing. The flavour of the red sauce was rich and buttery perfectly matching with the steak. Crystal couldn't help but take another bite of it.
Seeing her eating that well, Silas couldn't be more happy. He himself took a bite of it, the food was nothing compared to her delighted face. He was more focused than his own food.
Suddenly Crystal stop eating and looked up at him. With any word she got up from her place, and leaned forward. Her face inches away from him, Silas taken back by her sudden closeness. He remained frozen to his place when her thumb traced the corner of his lips,"You got sauce there." Crystal spoke gazing directly into his eyes.
Once she was done, she went back to her place, sucking the leftover sauce on her thumb.
"It's delicious." She commented focusing on her food.
Silas gulped seeing that. She was sure making him go crazy. Did she mean the food or the sauce on his lips? Like that he was left hanging and he can't even ask. In nervousness, he just nodded to her and focused on the food.
