Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess

After Christopher informed Leonard of how the tea party goes, he was given no choice but to give his host some face. So, he left for the buffet table, got some snacks, and sat in front of a vacant table. After a while, some ladies approached and talked to him. 

Serena could only chuckle seeing his expression. From the corner of her eyes, she also checked what's happening on Charlton's side, and when she was that Emily and Anna were sitting beside him, instead of getting jealous, she wanted to laugh. The situation was too funny to get angry over with.

Anyway, while she was doing so, Christopher who did not leave their table tried to talk to her and the girls. She pretended to listen, and just nodded her head with whatever he was saying. After a while, he started addressing her directly, so she had no choice but place her full attention on him.

"His highness sure is a lucky man to have been engaged with you Lady Serena. If you don't mind me asking, have there been any talks of when the engagement would be announced publicly?" Christopher asked. He has seen Serena before in the newspaper and from afar, but it was the first time that he was able to be near her and talk to her. To be frank, he was interested.

Serena who has no idea whatever was running in Christopher's mind just answered, "none as of yet", while adding 'hopefully never' in her head. Though she has a feeling that Geoffrey was planning to do so by the end of the season. Another reason why Charlton should make his move soon. Once the engagement gets announced to the public, she will formally receive the title crown princess and things would become more complicated. 

"I see. So, what does he think of you dabbling in the entertainment industry?" Christopher continued, trying to prolong their conversation.

Serena who thought that it was time to meet with Charlton simply said, "He's ok with it, I guess. Anyway, Lord Cross, if you don't mind, I wish to ask, where's the ladies' room?"

"It's inside the mansion, if you go straight and enter the back door, it's on the left. Let me walk you there." He pointed and suggested.

Serena shook her head, "No, thank you. I think I can manage on my own. I will be back shortly." She said as she smiled at him and then her female former schoolmates. She knew they won't offer as they obviously wanted to spend as much time with Christopher Cross as possible.

Christopher smiled and did not insist.

"I thought you already forgot but all about me, what being cooped up between two beautiful ladies vying for your attention." Serena teased. They were now inside one of the comfort rooms in the mansion.

Charlton tapped her nose. "Don't remind me. Also, what's were you and Christopher talking about? He seems to be acting awfully close to you earlier. If I didn't know any better, I would say that he's trying to flirt with you."

Serena slapped his hand, "I think that's just you, going the roundabout way of changing the topic. Hmpft!"

Charlton chuckled as he placed both his hands on top of the marbled table of the sink, Serena in between them. "Now, enough of them. I missed you." He said, as he angled his face to kiss her lips, moving to down to her neck then her collarbone.

Serena feeling the feathery touch of his lips and could not help but moan, "I missed you too."

Charlton smirked. He turned her around so that they were both facing the mirror, their eyes meeting.

"What are you doing?" Serena asked.

"Showing you how much I missed you." Charlton replied as he started kissing her neck, followed by him hitching her skirt upwards. 

"People are waiting for us… They will notice that we've been missing." Serena reminded.

Charlton pressed closer to her, "You think I would care when I'm like this now?" he whispered as he started licking her ear.

Serena giggled with the tingling sensation. She briefly wondered since when was it that their roles have been reversed completely? It used to be her that was more spontaneous and daring. 

"I'll take it that as a yes." Charlton said as he completely lifted her skirt and lowered her undergarment while he unbuckled his belt. He entered he just like that. 

Through the mirror, he can see her facial expression, and as he moved faster, he saw her skin turning pink. Wanting to see more, he unzipped her dress from behind and pulled her dress down. He was rewarded with the view of her bountiful bosom, jiggling every time he thrusted.

He fondled the two with both his hands, the erotic view in front of him arousing him more as he kissed the back of her neck. 

"Charlton please…" Serena said.

Charlton knew that she was near, and so was he. "Can I, inside?" he asked.

Serena nodded, "Yes."

Charlton smiled as he moved faster until he finally felt her spasm and he poured his seeds inside her.

The two of them tried to catch their breath.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." She replied.

After a few minutes, the two of them started fixing their clothes.

"Serena, I called my mother and told her that I already have a lady in my heart, and I want to marry her this season. She kept asking who, but I thought that it would better if I tell her and explain everything once she arrives, lest she gets a heart attack." Charlton shared as he chuckled.

Serena smiled and asked, "I thought you're going to wait for the medal of valor?"

"I still am, but it would be nice if my mother knows and tries to get her brother, my uncle, the king, used to the idea. Whatever makes the success rate of my proposal higher. Aside from that, I fear that the queen or maybe even the king himself is trying to match me with Emily."
