The Traps of Black Swan

Shawn smirked at everyone saying his hello, before reaching his mother, "Mom!" He lowered and hugged his mother by shoulders, "Why did you have to put yourself in this dirt heap?" He whispered showing his dissatisfaction.

Megan sighed at his words. He doesn't understand how important it is for those ladies to maintain their well-fabricated image and how it would hurt them if they get excluded.

Standing up, "I hope, the lovely ladies don't mind if I steal my mother away." Shawn said as he pulled his mother up from the chair.

A few smiled and one waved her hand as though she was shy by the compliment, "You have such a sweet tongue."

Megan: "..."

She wanted to smack his son and say 'get a girlfriend, not a middle-aged woman.' However, she flashed a smile at the lady with her son.

Just when they could leave, the young pretty girl, probably still in university, stood up stretching her hand at Shawn, "Second Young Master Rivas, please have some tea."

One was enough to bring the troupe up, other girls started offering him different snacks at the nudge of their mothers. Shawn had seen one or two, who used to jazz up in Highland with their flings or boyfriends. 

Shawn had an apologetic look while responding, "I am in a bit of a hurry. How about next time?" He flashed a smile and turned to his mother without waiting for their response, "Mom, let's go."

Before anybody could remember Aarvi Evans's name, they had left. The ladies could only smack themselves for it. That evening, most of the ladies were picked up by their sons to show off that they had filial sons.

At Rivas mansion,

Aaron didn't go to the Rivas hospital and left the office early to accompany everyone at home.

He entered his room to see Aarvi laying on his bed carelessly. It also meant she was comfortable and felt secure, which put him in a better mood. She had changed into… Ariel's clothes. But the colors were still black and off-white.

She had chosen an off-white full sleeves lace top, the tender skin under the hollows of the knitted pattern was tempting. The one side of the neckline had a slope giving the off-the-shoulder look. The sleeves were in a large bell design and the hems of it were uneven. She had matched it with black shorts that had lace edges. 

With her slender uncovered legs on the bed, Aaron had no doubt why Leon fancies her legs. Even his thoughts ran wild imagining her legs around his waist, they were just so flawless and toned.

Shaking his head to remove his lewd thoughts, he was about to cover her with the duvet, he noticed her waking up from the nap.

Aarvi yawned, lazily stretching her limbs. She didn't even realize when she had dozed off and got a good nap. Before she could open her eyes or feel the presence of Aaron, she felt something softly press on her stomach.

Her hands reached out as she stifled a yawn and pulled Aaron's face up to her face, from burying in her stomach. 'This man is already seducing me.' She thought looking at his bright golden color shimmering behind his dark lashes.

The physical attraction was a wholly new thing for her, sometimes it excited her and sometimes it brought confusion in her. How could she crave to be touched and held by him? And the thought of it was enough to make her toes curl, feel her cheeks hot and breathe struck in her throat. 

Not just her emotions and her heart, she couldn't believe her body yearned for him. She had thought that yearning once was fine or twice, but she felt like the fire he had ignited in her wasn't going to quench so easily.

If she had forgotten that they were in Rivas mansion, she would have flipped him down and attacked him like a wild kitten without bothering about being sloppy. This sexual tension was too much for her to handle and she also didn't want to behave like a crazy lustful brat. 

He pecked on her soft pink lips. If did more, he doubted if he would be able to control himself. He started feeling he had zero control over himself whenever he would be with her. 

"Temptress." His constrained voice was husky and tantalizing, reeling out her thoughts wildly.

The pot calling the kettle black? Aarvi was still groggy. If she wasn't holding him, she would have thought she was dreaming. So she couldn't believe she was labeled as the temptress here, when he was the one who was causing her body to react, doing exactly nothing but gazing her in the eyes. 

"Says the tempter." She complained in her low voice that was an inviting whisper to his ears.

There was no good in taking it slow when it felt like a new kind of torture. The criminal was her heart and the victims were her… and him. She knew he desired no less than her, if not more. Both hopelessly tried to calm their pounding hearts. 

Aaron shifted his head to the left and planted a kiss on her fingers that was on his cheek, "I will change and come." He said and saw her adorable wobble her head in acknowledgment. 

Standing back on the floor, he doubted if changing to leisurewear was enough. He was already feeling hot. He wanted to get rid of his tie first, that felt like choking him.

Pulling his tie, he subconsciously glanced at her petite face. She was glowing in pinkness, absolutely thinking something naughty, her pearly white teeth were biting her pink juicy lower lip and freed it at torturously slow speed. Aaron didn't even notice he was frozen as rock enthralled by her little actions. Her long lashes softly blinked gazing at air up in the ceiling while an enchanting smile stayed behind on her lips.

Unaware of the eyes on her, Aarvi's facepalmed at her thoughts and the next second she was buried under the duvet before she heard the door close with a pretty loud thud.

She was too lazy to check what happened so she rolled under the duvet thinking of going downstairs with Aaron. However, before he could exit, she drifted off to another catnap. 

Aaron couldn't believe she was peacefully napping after exciting him. Adjusting the duvet, he was taking his laptop when he heard her mumble knotting her eyebrows, "... Ro… Nn... Run...Ro…"

Thinking she might be having a nightmare. He sat next to her and gently carried her to his lap, he was about to wake her up to end the nightmare but she leaned closer to him and hummed in satisfaction snuggling against his stomach.

He didn't have the heart to wake her so he worked on a laptop with a hand reading about medical science.

....

Her cat nap was over in less than half an hour and woke up fresh. She was thinking of teasing Aaron but soon heard a knock on the door. The door creaked open and an eye peeked through.

Aarvi had flipped on Aaron's lap and stuck her tongue out before Shawn pushed the door open. "You guys are so boring." He complained. He expected the door to be locked but it wasn't and she was sleeping and Aaron was studying.

Aaron helped Aarvi to sit and Shawn beamed looking at her, "Sister Ariel's dress."

Shawn went near the bed and held her hand while she got off the bed as he recalled a past, "Little Heart, Bro had bought a dress for Sis but she didn't get a chance to wear it. Try it on, please."

Before Aarvi could react or wear the home slippers, she had to run behind Shawn to Ariel's room. 

"Sha…" Aaron couldn't stop them. He had brought a pink, white, and floral combination for Ariel and Aarvi doesn't wear colors, much less floral.
