MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Judy puffed out her chest and said, "He's with Starlight Entertainment. It's a Brilliant Group imprint."

"They are pretty big," Crystal admitted. "But I don't think that Nathan would be interested." 

Judy: "That's weird. Doesn't he want to be famous?"

Crystal smiled but said nothing.

By now, Nathan was returning from the stage, and when he sat down, he asked Crystal for her answer.

After his performance, Crystal felt like Cinderella. She placed one hand on his thigh. Then she leaned over and kissed him on the lips.. She opened his mouth with her mouth, and after pushing her tongue past his pips, she sucked his tongue into her mouth.

Wow! - thought Nathan. This was the best answer he could have hoped for.

The spotlight was still on him, and the audience began to hoot and holler. "So that's the girl that he fell in love with long, long ago," they exclaimed to each other.

Crystal suddenly felt very shy. She buried her head in Nathan's jacket, and she said, "Let's go. I have the best singer in the building at my side. There's no longer any need for me to stay and hear another man's concert."

****

After leaving the stadium, Nathan took Crystal to a local seafood restaurant. The place was distinctive in that it had been built inside a limestone cave. It was situated near the ocean, and customers could enjoy their meals while listening to the natural rhythms of the waves lapping against the rocky shore.

Looking at the rich menu, Crystal had no idea whether to order seafood or steak, and when she mentioned her dilemma to Nathan, he suggested ordering both. "Make it a Surf & Turf," he said.

As she considered his suggestion, she glanced at his bodyguards. They were sitting on the benches by the door. They looked extremely bored. "Aren't they going to eat?" she asked.

Nathan: "They eat in shifts. They each get twenty minutes."

Crystal: "That's not much of a break. Why do you need so many bodyguards anyway?"

Nathan: "At the age of 14, I was kidnapped. From then on, my parents hired bodyguards to protect me."

Crystal: "They aren't very good at their jobs, though, are they? The day you sent them to keep an eye on me, I lost them quite easily."

Nathan shrugged and said, "Some are better than others. You'll see. I talked to my big brother, and he's hired a female bodyguard for you. She'll keep a better eye on you, and she will keep you safe."

Crystal immediately shook her head and said, "I don't like being followed."

Nathan: "It's for your own good." 

Crystal: "What does your big brother do? Is he your blood brother?"

Nathan: "We grew up together. He's three years older than I am."

Crystal: "Is he a soldier?"

Nathan: "You don't need to ask so many questions about other men. You belong to me, and my brother has his own woman."

Crystal rolled her eyes at him. She said, "Just because I ask a question about a man, it doesn't mean that I want to fuck him. I'm just curious about the people in your life." Nathan sighed and said, "I know that. Sorry."

Suddenly Crystal remembered the jewelry case she'd been given to give to Nathan, and when she showed it to him, he laughed. "Are you proposing to me?" he asked.

Crystal chuckled and said, "You are so silly." Nathan took the case and asked, "Where did you get this?"

Crystal: "From Tiffany. We had lunch together yesterday."

Nathan: "Well, it's not mine."

Crystal was shocked. "If it's not yours, then whose is it?" she asked. "Tiffany said she found it in your room."

Nathan: "If it was in my room, and it doesn't belong to me, then it must have belonged to your mother."

Crystal was too stunned to say anything, and there wasn't a word passed between them until after their food came. Then, just as they were about to eat, Nathan's phone buzzed. He pulled it out of his pocket, checked the Caller ID, and said, "Sorry. I need to take this in private."

Without waiting for a reply, Nathan took his phone outside.

Crystal could see him through the window, and she wondered who he was talking to and what they were talking about - What is his secret? It annoyed her to be left in the dark and alone at the table, but she wasn't going to let her food go cold on his account. With a scowl on her face, she lifted her knife and fork and began to cut her steak.

When Crystal finished her meal, Nathan still hadn't returned. She eyed his steak, and after a moment of deliberation, she decided to eat his food too.

Then, when Nathan returned to the table, he was shocked. "Did I eat my steak already?" he asked.

Crystal: "Yes!"

Nathan frowned and said, "That's so strange. I don't remember eating, and I still feel hungry..."

Crystal shrugged and said, "I don't know what to tell you..."

Suddenly, it occurred to Nathan that Crystal might have eaten his dinner, and he thought - What a naughty girl! The thought of her putting his meat in her mouth suddenly triggered his sex impulse. He quickly covered his growing erection with a napkin and said, "I need to wash my hands." Then he awkwardly shuffled to the washroom.

Two minutes later, Crystal received a text message from Nathan. It said: "Go to the washroom."

Crystal was confused because she didn't need to go to the washroom, but she knew better than to be disobedient. She got up and headed towards the washroom, but Nathan pulled her into a hidden place behind two fern trees before she got there. He pressed her against the wall and began to kiss her passionately. Then, with one hand, he pushed down his pants and underwear, and his swollen member sprung out like a frenzied Jack-In-The Box. "Hike up your skirt!" he commanded.

Instead of lifting her skirt, though, she pressed it down. She gave him a dirty look and said, "Tell me you don't actually like to eat on the sly!"

"I don't like to eat on the sly," Nathan said. "I just like to eat my food while it's still hot." Without waiting for a reply, he yanked on her skirt. She lost her grip, and before she knew what was happening, he had his hand pressed against her vulva.

At least it's still above my panties - thought Crystal. "The food is too hot," she argued. "And besides, there is no way to behave in a public place like this." Her cheeks were beet red. "You're embarrassing me!"

Nathan laughed and said, "Your innocence is such a turn on. Don't you know; when it comes to love, food can never be too hot!" 

"Are you sure?" Crystal snickered. "What about when meat is rare?"

Nathan finally realized what Crystal was talking about, and his cock lost all interest in her. Within seconds it had shriveled up to a fraction of its size, and it did all that it could do to retract back into his testicles. "You're on your period," he grumbled as he pulled up his pants and underwear. His face was as pale as a whitewashed wall. "How many days do you have left?"

Crystal: "Seven. It just started."

Nathan: "Fine. I'll let you go. But just for the moment."

Crystal: "Why don't we return to the table. You must be hungry."

Nathan nodded unhappily and admitted that he was.
