Not your typical baby mama

Chapter 281 [Bonus Chapter] Nothing Simple About Women

Against his dark wishes, he proceeded to undress her, ignoring his urges. Her smooth flat stomach came into view. Going up, another mountain of temptation was revealed. Two smooth and milky mountains. His junior protested to how he hadn't jumped into this meal before him.

'Oh', she mused disappointedly when he didn't take too long to finish discarding her dress. But when she saw the way he was looking at her body.... He took the top and helped into it.

"If you're not okay with this....", She said, referring to her lingerie.

"It's good", he answered in a hoarse voice and made to clear his throat.

"You sure?" she arched a brow only for him to pull her to him. Her chest was now pressing against his and hand rested dangerously above her ass.

"What are you playing at?" He locked his gaze on her, afraid to look anywhere else.

"Playing? Me?" She feigned ignorance.

"Nora, are you sure it's okay to expose yourself to this 'pervert'?" He countered. After all, that is what she had called him.

"You don't come across as one", she answered with a smile earning an arched brow from him. She pushed herself off of him and sat down to place one foot on his chest. "Chop! Chop! We'll both be late at this point."

Twenty minutes later

"You can never understand women bro!" George shouted and shook his head in disbelief as he drove.

Xavier's laugh echoed in the car. Never in a million years did he think he would ever get this sort of complaint from his brother. "What happened?"

"Xav..... I don't know. One minute she's...." Innocent. "And the next she's....." The greatest temptation to ever walk into his life.

He still could not fathom how he helped her into those pants instead of tearing them off her. As they left, he used the excuse of having 'something to take care of' before he left. Luckily, she didn't ask questions though he felt she knew what he would be taking care of... in the shower.

"What did she do?" Xavier pressed. His curiosity had soared through the roof.

"I still don't know what the motive was behind her actions", he shook his head.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Xavier was growing annoyed.

"It's complicated", He answered tiredly.

"Nothing about women is simple. There's yet to be a man who fully understands a woman and what goes on in their heads", he said and a honk sound went off on his end.

"Mm", he agreed. "Aren't you late for work?" He said whilst checking his wrist watch.

"I'm going back to Albany to check on Lorraine before I drive back to work", he answered.

"That's a lot of driving", George murmured.

"And you?"

"I'm going to the orphanage. With how things have changed, we don't know what those guys might do. Besides that, she's not doing too well", he added. His heart grew heavy just thinking about the older woman. She was a total stranger not too long ago but he had somehow grown attached to her.

"Shit. Does sis know?"

"Mm. They'll be calling in to check on her today."

Meanwhile, Nora spun her chair at the front desk in the library with a smile that failed to fall from her lips. The woman had never felt more liberated and more in control than then.

That was the whole point of her little trick this morning. Yes, George made her nervous and shy but she still wanted to fluster him too, to prove she had not fully lost herself because of him. Also, to know that she still has her temptress skills in her.

"I don't want to know", Ian said when he reached her desk, looking at her silly smile.

"It's not for kids to know anyway", she bragged.

"Whatever. I just got off the phone with Mona's Dad", he started. Nora's smile was replaced with a serious expression as she stood up and paid attention to her nephew who had a heavy expression on his face. "They finally found out what killed her. She's one of the victims of the Greco case."

"Did she participate in one of the experiments?" Nora asked, puzzled.

"Not that I know of. Somehow the drug was in her possession and you know? I don't know", he said.

Nora took him in. He had lost some weight. Losing Mona took a toll on the young man. He may not have loved her that way but she was still someone who was a major part of his life. It took her death to make him realize what a precious human being she was.

Nora sighed at this sad sight and went around her desk. Ian stood with his hands balled into fists and hiding his face full of regret. Before he knew it, Nora pulled him into a comforting hug and he hugged her back. The two silently stood like statues forced together.

"Is it just me or is this weird for you too?" He asked.

"Oh thank God! Thought I would have to stick it out till the end", she breathed a sigh of relief as she released him.

"We didn't last a minute", he commented.

"Showing affection shouldn't be weird among family", she said, like it was a wise saying.

"True. But it felt like I'm hugging a dude. No offense", he quickly added.

"Same", she said after waving off the offense.

"But you like dudes", he looked at her, surprised. "I feel sorry for the guy. I dread the day he's fully going to be hit with the Nora effect."

"Shut up. He's different." That silly smile settled back on her lips. Ian shook his head, this was the same look she had when Amy was around. He could not trust his Aunt. Nora sighed when her mind went back to news about Mona. "I hope they'll get to the bottom of things. For her parents' sake at least."

"They will", he agreed. "It's only right that they do."

And as Ian said it, the authorities were working fast onto the case. Learning about this was Aldo who was at the airport back in the city wearing a black outfit with a black cap to hide his face. He stood among the busy crowd that was going in and out of the J.F.K airport. Nobody noticed the man's face contort into annoyance and... fear.

"Fuck", he mumbled under his breath as he stared at the possibly the biggest problem the King would be facing. "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck."
