46: The Seductress’s Temptation
TARA
I didn’t realize it when I first took a look at the address that the lady who called sent, but when Jace called me back an hour ago to tell me that the affected block was in fact where Tara lived, I went mental.
She must have deleted my number because I could swear that I called her a hundred times within that time, but I couldn’t get to her.
Different evil thoughts crossed my mind, and it physically hurt to think that something may have happened to either one of them.
Since Jace was closer, I sent him to check up on the houses that were affected and confirm that Tara and Nadia were okay while I made my way to them.
I didn’t bother changing out of my sleep clothes as I barged out of the hotel to find my car.
When Jace called back telling me that he hadn’t seen them among the people outside, I struggled to keep myself upright. While I was driving, it took the moon goddess’s protection to not run myself into a tree.
I arrived at the block to see the number of people standing outside, and I madly searched for any signs of them. I must have looked crazy with the way I was looking through everyone present, but I didn’t care.

I kept searching for them.
Nothing.
They weren’t here.
I couldn’t find…
“Aidan.”

Spinning around to see Tara standing with Nadia in her arms, legs crossed around Tara’s back, and her tiny hands wrapped around Tara’s neck, I exhaled a shaky breath that I didn’t even know I was holding.
My weight was too much to support by myself, so I bent over with my hands on my knees, and I breathed, thanking whoever kept them safe for me.
“Aidan?” Tara called again, and I stood up to full height.
“I was looking for the both of you. I thought…I thought something…”
She cut me off, sensing my panic.
“We’re fine, Aidan, we were sleeping upstairs when Esme called. Just a little bit shaken and drenched, but we’re okay. Everyone is,” she assured me.
I nodded frantically, unable to form any other words.
My phone rang in my pocket, and on bringing it out, I saw that it was Jace calling.
I picked it up and spoke first, my voice still sounding weak from

the shock of earlier.
“Talk to me, Jace.”
“We’re working on finding out where the fault is from, but it’s taking longer than expected. That block wasn’t the only one affected. About three more blocks have called in to complain too.”
I sighed before responding.
“Do what you can to get shelter for the people who can’t find one, and try harder to find the root of this problem. It’s a general thing, so stop looking at each of the houses. I’ll handle the casualties here.”
I ended the call with that and turned to Tara.
Now that my panic was in check and I was certain that they were both safe, I took in Tara’s features.
True to her words, she looked like she had just woken u, irom sleep, but that only fueled my blood to rise higher and rush to all the wrong places.
Right places, if you looked at it from a different perspective.
Her gorgeous hair was a mess, packed into a large pile on the top of her head, and her thin gown clung to her legs, doing little to cover the parts of her that I currently itched for.
Wide siren eyes watched me keenly, lips slightly parted, nostrils exhaling softly in what must have been exhaustion.
She was drenched and barefooted, but that only turnéd me on ten times harder.

I couldn’t say I didn’t like the sight before me, hell, my cock was living proof that I fancied the look, but a sight like this was not meant for eyes other than mine, and Tara was also starting to shiver from the cold.
It was either I snapped someone’s neck from looking in the wrong direction, or Tara broke down from the cold, and since we wanted neither of those, I had to act.
“You’re shaking,” I said to Tara, shoving my phone in the pocket of my sweatpants.
Just as I expected; she denied it.
“It’s fine, Aidan. I’m just a little bit cold, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.”
I nodded. “Yes. I know you’re made of iron, Tara, but this is not happening on my watch.”
Without waiting for her to chip in another stubborn remark, I took off the plain white round neck I slept in, and I turned it inside out for her to wear.
I had nothing less than eighty pounds over Tara, so the shirt would do a lot to keep her warm before we could get her some clothes.
Nadia was barefooted too,, but thankfully, she was well clothed and had a wide blanket draped over her.
“Hand her over,” I said, leaving no room for arguments.
Tara still argued.
“No. I’m not wearing your shirt, Aidan. I’m not cold,” she said,

swallowing hard.
As if on cue, her tiny body shook with a round of shivers from the cold, and I could see goosebumps trailing their way up her arms. I cocked my eyebrows to her, asking, “Say what now?”
Reluctantly, she let me take Nadia from her, and I pressed the shirt into her hands, balancing Nadia on my chest to make sure that she was comfortable. The kid was still a bit sleepy, so she snuggled closer into my bare chest.
Tara hesitated for a second too long, allowing me to study her perfectly rounded boobs peeking out from the thin nightgown.
Fuck, Tara.
“Put it on,” I growled, not sure how much longer I could stand the seductress‘ temptation.
She wasn’t trying, but I was already damned, being dragged to hell.
Willingly, might I add.
I watched her slip the oversized shirt on, and she tossed me a look.
“Happy?”
The shirt stopped somewhere below her thigh, but it would keep her warm for now.
And bathe her in my scent.
“Yes,” I replied truthfully, but my voice was still fucking loaded. “Come this way.”

Thankfully, she didn’t argue, so I led her to my car with Nadia in
my arms.
When we got to where I was parked, I made sure they were comfortably seated inside with the heating system running.
“I’ll be right back,” I said to Tara when I was sure they were sorted.
“Where are you going?”
I responded.
“I’ll make sure the rest of the people here are okay, then we’ll get you a change of clothes and go buy you a house.”
