Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

Emily stirred, she felt the warmth of the bed enveloping her and slowly, the haze of the sleep lifted and she suddenly became aware of the arms wrapped around her. It was Ethan, of course it was Ethan. She remembered everything fully, the sensuous kiss, his hands cupping delicate spots of her skin and her cheeks reddened at the thought of it all. She carefully extricated herself from Ethan’s embrace, trying not to wake him. She needed time to think, to sort through the jumble of emotions that swirled within her. She slipped out of the bed, wrapping herself in a silk robe, and she made her way to the kitchen.

As she brewed a pot of coffee, it was impossible to shake the guilt that gnawed at her. She couldn’t deny her love for Jackson but yet, here she was tangled up with Ethan, the attraction and equally the denial were undeniable. She brought the coffee to her lips and she let it burn her tongue to completely wake herself from the ethereal dream she had found herself these past few months, but she still felt unreal and asleep.

Was she dreaming?

She sipped more from her cup when she heard Ethan trudge out lazily from inside, and walked slowly up to her and placing a soft kiss on her cheek before pouring himself some coffee.

“You’re up early” he told her

“And you’re up late” she said back, in a playful tone “You hungry?”

Ethan thought for a moment then nodded “But let’s go out for brunch, I know this really nice place we could go to except you don’t want to ” he wanted to say but she cut in immediately.

“Of course I do” she smiled at him and he placed his hands around her waist pulling her closer and he kissed her full on the lips, slow at first till it got deeper and intense, she could feel herself melting once more in his arms. He licked her lips, seeking entrance into her mouth and she let him, parting her lips slightly for him and he slid his tongue into her mouth and unconsciously she groaned her hands tighter now around his back, which made him grip her harder pullingher tightly unto his chest, and when he pulled away she was completely breathless, her face flushed and her hair now falling over my face.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

But Ethan? Ethan had a smirk playing on his lips as he watched her try to catch her breath when he pulled away, she tried to avoid his eyes but Ethan was unrelenting.

“I’ll go get ready” she said now and scurrying away with her heart pounding loudly behind her chest. What was happening to her?

Later on, they arrived at the restaurant, it was a chic and vibrant spot with a cozy outdoor seating area but the inside was dimly lit and felt homely but just as they reached their table, a flash of familiarity caught Emily’s eye. It was Jackson, unmistakable with his strong jaw line and piercing blue eyes, seated just before him was Blair Lawrence and Emily paused. She seemed healthy for someone who almost lost her baby.

Ethan noticed her hesitance and turned to the direction she was looking “There’s my brother” he said and before Emily could say a word, Ethan was walking towards their direction pulling Emily along.

“Jackson” he called when he got to their table “What a coincidence, do you mind if we join you” he pulled Emily up beside him who immediately avoided Jackson’s eyes not wanting to look at his lying face.

“Sure” Jackson said even though his smile seemed strained, his eyes briefly meeting Emily’s before turning towards Ethan and gesturing the servers to bring extra seats.

“You must be Blair” Ethan said, stretching his hands out to her “I don’t believe we’ve met”

“Oh yes, we have” she took his hands still despite her icy stare and Ethan held her look, but she didn’t say anything more not wanting to indulge and bring Jesse into the conversation. The air around them suddenly crackled with tension.

“And you must be Emily, I don’t believe we’ve had a proper introduction since we’re all going to be a family soon” she smiled but it wasn’t the cheerful kind of smile, it felt more like a warning to Emily.

“I’m Blair Lawrence” she said

“Emily Hatton” Emily said back, returning the demeanor she received but she still refused to look at Jackson, even though he willed her with his eyes, she ignored him conveniently. Instead she linked her hands with Ethan while they waited for their food to arrive.

“So Blair” Emily started “Has the wedding preparations started, I’d absolutely love to help considering you’re pregnant and by the way, who’s the father?”

The air stilled, and Blair’s frown deepened. Ethan’s face was riddled with shock.

“Emily” Jackson called in a warning tone.

“You’re pregnant?!” Ethan said out loudly still pleasantly surprised “Congratulations brother, you’ve always been the player bro. Who would’ve known while you were constantly chasing my wife you were conveniently getting someone else pregnant, is that why you got engaged or is the baby not yours?”

Jackson stared at him, his jaw set and his hands balled into a fist beside him but Ethan wasn’t backing down but instead, Blair intervened.

“I don’t think my personal life is anyone’s business except we’re going to talk about why your wife was making out with my ex at my engagement party and also why she tried to kill me and my baby if she isn’t a fucking psycho”

“Shut up” Emily flared “I did not know you were pregnant, and you attacked me first”

“I wouldn’t attack if you weren’t a bloody whore, trying to get with everybody including my ex” Blair said loudly and in a flash Emily picked up a glass of water and threw it at Emily’s face.

A gasp escaped Blair’s lips as the icy water hit her face, and the shock was evident on everyone’s face.

“You fucking bitch!” Blair yelled, immediately lunging after Emily.
