Villain Ch 349. Obedience

Her voice carried a teasing undertone, a sly smirk curving her lips. "Yes. I want to escalate our relationship," Shea stated, her tone laced with a hint of mischief. She watched him intently, her gaze capturing his reaction with an almost playful challenge.

Allen's brows knitted in a combination of surprise and curiosity, his mind racing to fully comprehend the extent of her words. It was a proposition that had caught him off guard, its straightforwardness leaving no room for misinterpretation.

He leaned back slightly, his expression thoughtful as he processed her statement. "You mean date you?" he clarified, his frown deepening in his effort to grasp the implications of Shea's proposal.

Shea's lips curled in a knowing smile, her gaze unwavering as she met his eyes. "Yes. Or..." she paused, her words carrying a hint of allure as she leaned in closer to him. The intensity of her gaze locked onto his, their proximity creating an electric charge that seemed to hum between them. "We can do what you did with Vivian and Jane," she suggested, her voice carrying a seductive undertone that danced on the edge of mischief.

Allen's pulse quickened as her words hung in the air, the implications of her suggestion echoing in his thoughts. The playful glint in Shea's eyes mirrored the playful challenge that laced her proposition. He felt his heart race, a mixture of excitement and uncertainty swirling within him.

The shock in his voice was unmistakable as he stammered out a bewildered, "W-What?" His eyes flicked between Shea and Zoe, searching for any sign that this was a joke or some sort of elaborate prank. But the blush on Zoe's face and her unspoken confirmation only served to deepen the knot of disbelief in his stomach.

He turned his attention back to Shea, his mind racing to comprehend the gravity of her words.

"But why? Give me some logic behind it," he implored, his voice a mix of curiosity and bewilderment. The suddenness of her offer left him off-balance, his mind struggling to reconcile the audacity of her suggestion. The stark contrast between this moment and his encounters with Vivian and Jane left him feeling disoriented.

A playful glint danced in Shea's eyes, her lips curving into a teasing smile. "Logic, huh," she mused, as if considering his request with an air of amusement. "I'm a widow, Allen," she began. "And it's been a while since I've... connected with someone intimately," she admitted, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush.

Shea's gaze remained fixed on him, a mixture of earnestness and vulnerability in her eyes. "I have feelings for you, Allen," she confessed. "And Zoe knows it too," she added, her gaze briefly flicking toward Zoe before returning to him. "Since Vivian and Jane already took their move so I want to take mine..." she confessed. Her eyes fell on Allen and showed obvious seriousness. And yes, somehow she felt defeated since Vivian and Jane had taken it first.

Allen's eyebrows furrowed. "This isn't some kind of competition," he interjected gently. It wasn't a surprise; he had come to understand the assertive nature that defined her character.

Shea met his gaze with a confident smile, her expression unwavering. "It is... At least, for me," she admitted, her voice carrying a touch of amusement.I think you should take a look at

"And I could say, I was shocked since they moved faster than I thought. Especially Jane," Shea continued, her words carrying a mix of astonishment and amusement.

Shea's next move caught him off guard, her proximity drawing his attention. Her words were a teasing whisper, an invitation that sparked a flush of heat in his cheeks. "So, Allen," she purred in front of his ear, her tone laced with playful intent. "This is what I mean by that. There's no free dinner, then you should entertain me," she concluded, her words carrying a mixture of mischief and seduction.

A slow smile curved Allen's lips, his gaze steady. "You certainly know how to make things interesting, Shea," he replied, his voice carrying a mixture of amusement and intrigue.

Shea pulled back slightly, her eyes fixed on Allen. She had expected a certain level of obedience. After all, it wasn't every day that someone extended an offer as daring as hers.

Shea blinked, momentarily stunned by his refusal. Her surprise mingled with a trace of disbelief—had she misread the situation? Had she miscalculated his willingness to engage in the dynamics she had proposed?

"If this is only transactional, I don't want it," he affirmed, his voice steady and unwavering. It was a testament to his integrity, a reminder that he valued authenticity over convenience.

"But..." Allen's hand moved, his fingers gently grazing the side of Shea's face. His touch was tender, a contrast to the firmness of his previous response. It was as if his touch carried a promise, a pledge to consider an alternative perspective. "If you love me and really want me, I will do it," he continued, his words laced with a vulnerability that tugged at Shea's heart.

Shea's shock began to give way to a mix of emotions—bewilderment, curiosity, and a hint of vulnerability. Allen's unexpected response had shattered her preconceived notions, leaving her with a sense of uncertainty she hadn't anticipated. His willingness to reevaluate his stance, to consider the potential for genuine emotion, was a revelation that left her grappling with her own feelings.

Allen's gaze shifted, his attention turning to Zoe. The weight of his words extended beyond Shea, encompassing Zoe as well. "This also applies to you, Zoe," he stated, his voice inclusive and even-handed.

Allen realized this was a crazy action since Shea and Zoe were rich women. It was not in the game. It didn't take anything to destroy him and he didn't have enough wealth to fight them. Yet, here he was, trying to negotiate with them.

Zoe's heart skipped a beat once she saw Allen's gaze. It was a gaze that had no fear and craving for dominance.
