Layla's POV

Kissing him was unbearable in itself, I don't think I can stay in the same room as him without having the temptation to kill him.

He's testing me, I know for sure but I don't know how to pass his tests when it requires me to reside in the same room as this walking threat who I know would want more.

"Don't you want to?" He pushed me to give him an answer while nearing me. I've come this far and I won't leave without accomplishing what I came here for.

I glanced at him, smiling flirtatiously as I walked toward him. I brushed my hands against his chest and he seemed to be taken aback by my actions.

"Aren't you desperate Seth, like you've always been." I walked closer to him and stepped on my tiptoes, even though I was wearing heels he was still taller than me. But not more than Sinn.

Now, why the fuck would I think about him?

I leaned close to his ears and whispered seductively, "It's a turn-off when someone's so desperate." I pulled away chuckling as I walked away from him, leaving him stunned to his spot.

I walked up the stairs and walked past the hallway after opening random doors while searching for a spare room. After a minute I found one which looked like a guest room and walked inside as calmly as I could. When I was in, I closed it and locked it.

I leaned against the door and tried to take long breaths to calm my nerves down. Who does this fucker think he is that I'll share a room with him.

If he wasn't the only way for us to reach Charlie, I would never see his face again. But I have to sacrifice some of my sanity to complete this mission by getting involved with him.

I pulled on my hair trying to get the feeling of his stinky fingers away when he played with them earlier at the club.

I want to take a long shower.

But I don't have clothes so I searched the wardrobe and it did have some clothes stacked for guests. That's convenient.

I randomly picked whichever seemed the most comfortable to put on after showering.

Just when I was almost done washing myself up, I heard someone trying to open the door but when it didn't they knocked on it loudly.

I rolled my eyes feeling the irritation inside me once again but tried to contain it. Who else could it be with such incredible manners?

I barely had time to change into my clothes and only had time to put on my bra and underwear so I quickly got into the bath gown I found.

I opened the door while tying the knot and found a restless Seth standing before me. He froze when he saw me, my hair wet, and stared at my body. The bath gown wasn't long enough to reach my legs and so I knew where his gaze was.

I cleared my throat and leaned against the doorframe, "What do you want?" He peeled his eyes away from my bare legs and looked at me, "You've seemed to make yourself comfortable."

I tried to stretch a smile and didn't try to hide my annoyance this time. "Well, I-" He was about to add something but was interrupted when the knot of my gown loosened revealing my bra and underwear to him.

His eyes stared at my half-naked body making him go speechless. Even though I wanted to take his eyes out and cover myself from his disgusting gaze, I got an idea instead to mess with his head a bit.

I looked at him and saw he was still gawking at my body so to give his eyes more access I removed the gown from one of my shoulders, "It's so hot in here, isn't your air conditioner working?"

I asked him and noticed his gaze widening even more when they saw more of my body. I stepped towards him and lingered my hand from his torso towards his dick which was bulging.

I noticed him tense when my hand rested on top of his dick, "Are you getting hard just by looking at me?" I made a surprised face mocking him while grabbing his pathetic hard dick making him groan.

His eyes darkened with lust making contact with mine and before he could do anything his phone rang making him get back to his senses.

I pulled away from him, getting my hand away from it and feeling like peeling the skin from it.

He picked up the call and said hello. I continued looking at him while twirling a strand of my wet hair around my finger and leaning on the doorframe half-naked. "I'm just coming fucking be patient." He almost yelled at the person on the other line in frustration.

He ended the call and looked back up at me. "I have somewhere to be." He looked one last time at my body wanting to stay but I know he'll go away cause that call seemed important.

And before I could say anything he left and I shut the door locking it. I pulled the bath gown close to me covering myself.

I feel pathetic. I tried to take deep breaths but my temper is taking the best of me. I can't afford to let it loose.

I don't know how but I managed to control my anger and changed into a fresh pair of clothing after taking another bath.

After finally being done, I sat on the edge of the bed and just took a moment to myself.

Today's been draining.

I don't think he believes any of the bullshit I told him but I knew from the start, it would be risky.

And I took this gamble.

I have some idea on how to mess with his head after what I did with him just an hour ago. He is a fucking pervert. I don't know what my father was thinking when he set me up with someone like him when I was only 16.

No matter how much he despises me, how could he threaten my safety? What if he had tried to force himself on me? I knew how to defend myself back then but still, he made me trust that guy only to prove a point of his. But what else to expect of him? He doesn't give any fucks and it's better if I don't too.

But I can't imagine I once liked someone as disgusting as Seth.

The words my father called me echoed in my head once again.

"You're a whore. Just like any other woman."

I tried to regain control over my thoughts but it was hard. I feel ashamed of myself. I never thought I would have to stoop so low as to seduce Seth. But there's no reason for you to feel that way, you're doing it for the mission.

And I have to do whatever it takes to succeed in this mission.

After I had calmed myself, I took this opportunity to update them that I have successfully entered Seth's house.

I almost immediately received a reply that said 'acknowledged'.

They didn't ask me how or what and I was more than glad for it. It was them who told me to deal with him however I want so it's fair they don't ask me for details.

I closed my phone and sighed. Tomorrow's going to be a lot harder, I can already feel that.

But for today, happy fucking 19th birthday to me.
