100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 369 Are You A Member Of A Gang?

Day Forty-Three...

~~*****~~

"J-Jack?!" Kathleen was surprised after recognizing the man standing before her. She had never expected to see Jack in her own Salon and Spa.

"W-What are you doing here?" She asked him confusedly. She couldn't believe that he was there.

Meanwhile, Jack remained tight-lipped. He just stared at her with his penetrating gaze. He was still upset when Kathleen left him in the hospital. She promised that she would come back but she just disappeared without saying a proper goodbye.

Just like Kathleen, Jack didn't expect to see her today. It just so happened that the Dragon Lord gave him the task to monitor Abigail.

He had been following them ever since they left Dave's condo unit. Upon reaching the K.D Cox Salon and Spa, he saw the woman he had been looking for. Kathleen welcomed Abigail and her companion at the entrance of the Salon.

Getting curious as to why Kathleen was there, Jack decided to enter the Salon and Spa. He pretended to be a VIP client. After a while, he found out that Kathleen was the owner of the said spa.

Dying to see and confront Kathleen, Jack made a way to ask for Kathleen's presence. He pretended to be unsatisfied with the masseur, demanding to meet Kathleen.

He created a scene by almost punching the masseur. The manager arrived to appease him but Jack wanted to see a different person. That was the time the manager called Kathleen's secretary, informing her about the situation.

Before Kathleen arrived, Jack commanded the masseur and the manager to leave. He would like to talk to Kathleen alone.

"Jack?" Kathleen mentioned his name once more since Jack didn't respond to her at all. "Are you my rude client?" she added.

"Why did you lie to me?" Jack questioned her, tightening his grip on her shoulders. He ignored her questions.

Kathleen had a puzzled look in her eyes. She didn't understand him. "Lie? What lie?"

"You. Never. Came. Back." Jack said through his gritted teeth.

Kathleen was stunned for a moment. She could sense Jack's anger. She didn't imagine that he would take it to heart.

'Is he referring to what happened at Country J?' Kathleen mused to herself.

"I'm sorry. Something came up at that time. I had to go home... and I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to you. Are you mad at me?" Kathleen apologized right away.

Jack's expression softened when he heard that. Who would have thought that a simple apology from her could erase all his unhappiness?

'Damn. What am I doing?' Jack loosened his tight grip on her but he remained holding her in place.

Kathleen recalled the reason why she went to that room. "Wait! Jack... are you the rude client who is complaining about our services here?" She asked him, tugging his shirt. She wanted to know what was wrong with their services.

Jack lowered his gaze, feeling a little bit embarrassed. He didn't know whether he would admit the truth or not.

'Will she get mad at me?'

The situation between them was now reversed. He was the one who was worried about Kathleen getting mad at him.

"Honestly," Jack started, scratching his face. "Nothing is wrong with your services. I just made an alibi to see you." He admitted.

Kathleen just eyed him with disbelief. "You scared my staff. You could have called me. No need to create a scene."

"I tried. But your staff told me that you couldn't be disturbed. You were busy entertaining another client." Jack reasoned out.

Kathleen just chuckled lightly. "What a clever man. Anyway, are we okay now? Are you still upset with me?"

"Yes. A little..."

Kathleen heaved a deep sigh. "Don't be upset. I will try to make it up to you. By the way, how are you? The last time I saw you... your body was covered with bruises and wounds. Do you feel better now?"

Without a second thought, Kathleen checked his bodyâ€" his arms, face, and his tummy. She caught the hem of his shirt and pulled it up to see his stomach. Some marks remained but the other bruises already disappeared.

Meanwhile, Jack could only watch and observe her every movement. He could see the genuine concern in her eyes.

"Sigh. I'm glad some of your wounds are already healed. Remove your clothes and lie down. I'll give you a massage myself." Kathleen suggested to him. She tied her hair in a ponytail. And she put her cell phone down.

Jack blinked his eyes in disbelief. 'Is she serious? She is going to massage me? I came here to talk to her, not for this...'

"What are you waiting for? C'mon, take off your clothes. This is my compensation to you. I didn't mean to leave you at Country J without saying a proper goodbye. Let me appease you by giving you a relaxing massage." Kathleen was so determined. She turned around, her back facing Jack. She urged him to take his clothes while she was not looking.

"Are you serious?" There was a hint of hesitation in his voice.

"Of course, I am. Are you done? Just lie down on the bed. I will just prepare the oil." Kathleen still had time to massage Jack while waiting for Abigail to finish.

Jack could only comply, obeying her. He took his clothes, leaving only his boxers. Then he walked to the bed and lay down on his stomach.

Soon, he heard Kathleen's footsteps inching closer to him.

"Okay. Just relax..." Kathleen softly mumbled. Her hand began to apply oil to his back. Jack's body stiffened the moment her warm hands touched his flesh. He could feel a sudden heat engulfing his body.

'Damn. I don't think this is a good idea...' Jack could only close his eyes and clench his jaw when Kathleen's soft hands rubbed his back, giving him a relaxing massage.

'Sh*t! It feels so good...' Jack thought to himself. Before he knew it, all his senses only focused on her hands touching and caressing his body. Every stroke of her palm against his flesh gave him a wonderful sensation.

"Do you want hard, moderate, or soft?" Kathleen asked him.

"H-Hard," Jack promptly responded. His voice stuttered a little, trying to suppress his groan.

On the other hand, Kathleen was also immersed in what she was doing. She couldn't help but admire Jack's excellent physique. She could feel his hard muscles against her palms.

But her heart ached seeing the marks and scars on his back. She wondered where and when he got those scars.

"Jack... are you a member of a gang?" Kathleen blurted out of the blue, her fingers gently tracing his scars. "Do you often get into fights?" she added, feeling curious.

When he heard her question, Jack flipped his body to lie on his back so that he could see her face. His hand reflexively grabbed her right hand as he stared at her intently.

"Why? Are you afraid of me because of my scars? Will you avoid me if I'm a member of a gang?" Jack asked her expectantly.

Kathleen was at a loss for words. She tried to assess her feelings. She knew someone who was more frightening than Jackâ€" Nathan Sparks.

"I won't avoid you... as long as you are good to me."
