BloodStar

Chapter 152: Can’t Escape Temptation

Jacek’s eyes darted upwards to meet Constance’s stare. She smiled at him and raised her right forearm up from the water and snapped her fingers.

“You must know something of my illusion ki. With the snap of my fingers, I have created a visual illusion surrounding this entire hot tub. Any security camera, paparazzi camera, viewing eyes from attendants, viewing eyes from Erika… will all see us sitting far, very far, from one another… no matter how close we are.” Constance leaned forward and moved towards Jacek as she glided across the water’s bubbly surface.

Jacek found himself speechless and in thought, “First Xenia and now her too!”

In another life, he would have found himself to be the luckiest man in the world; however, as it were, he was still going to great lengths to mend his relationship with Erika. He couldn’t afford even the slightest misstep with her.

Jacek began to stand from the hot tub; however, before he could, Constance straddled him over his lap.

“No one can see us Jacek. Don’t be so nervous.” Constance put her arms around his neck and lifted herself off his lap just enough to bring her cleavage to within an inch of his face.

She then activated a warm ki within her palms against the back of his neck, “You are so tense, Jacek Heraklinos. When is the last time Erika ever gave you a massage?” She smirked, “You don’t have to answer that.”

The warm ki slowly spread along his back, up his head, and eventually encompassed his whole body. The sensation was instantly relaxing as his muscles let go of their tension, and he felt pure relaxation. Something he had not felt in years.

Constance spoke softly, “I’m no Xenia. But I’m also no Erika.”

She removed one hand from the back of his neck and grasped his chin as she guided his face towards a kiss.

Jacek grabbed her hand and prevented her from kissing him, “It’s not that I don’t find you attractive, Constance. You are an incredibly gifted ki user who by the sounds of it is soon to be recognized with a powerful position in your own empire. For the sake of your future prosperity in this world, let’s not do this.”

Constance leaned in and whispered in his ear, “I’m not forward enough am I? You liked it when Xenia dominated you. She held no secrets from me.”

Before Jacek could answer her, she reached down and tore his swim trunks from his waist with a single powerful pull of her hand. She then hovered over his erect cock bouncing herself against the engorged tip.

Jacek was stunned into a stupor as Constance grabbed both of his hands and placed them on her hips saying, “Remember. No one can see us. No one.”

She left his hands on her hips and ran her own hands up her body grabbing her boobs and moaning as she bounced and teased the tip of his cock against her pussy.

“All you have to do. All you have to do, Jacek. Is slam me down. Slam me down on your big, throbbing cock and take me right here, right now. Do it!” Constance bit her finger and closed her eyes waiting for her to slam her down thrusting his firm cock into her.

She felt the steady grasp of his hands, and her body wanted for what came next. However, instead of slamming her down, Jacek effortlessly lifted her body up off of him and placed her beside him. He then quickly stood gathering his torn swim trunks before wrapping a towel tight around his waist.

Constance looked up at him as he exited the hot tub, “Such discipline, Jacek Heraklinos. It’s admirable.”

Jacek looked back at her, “Try it again, and I will alert the rest of my team to you.”

She leaned back against the jets again and without a worry in the world said, “You’ve dealt with Xenia. But you’ve never dealt with me. You can’t escape temptation. You can’t escape me. Sweet dreams darling.”

Jacek offered her no response as he made his exit with a mature composure following in Erika, Zara, and Ramses’s footsteps.

Constance bit her lip in pure satisfaction and let out a soft shriek of excitement.

___________________________________________

Jacek returned to his quarters promptly. To his relief, Erika had not returned just yet, and he quickly threw the towel aside and trashed his torn swim trunks. He then put on a pair of boxers and laid on the bed.

No longer than five minutes later, a frustrated Erika walked in. She slammed the door behind her, “I hate this place!”

Jacek leaned up, “What did they tell you? Surely they aren’t serious. I am confident in saying Constance is unfit for a position of power.”

Erika nodded, “That we are in 110% agreement.” She sat down beside him on the bed, “Ramses and Zara are playing a very dangerous game. Though to their credit, they seem to be savvy gamesmen.”

Jacek waited expectantly for her to continue, and she did, “Have you ever heard the name Feng Khan?”

Jacek shook his head ‘No’.

“Feng Khan is Constance’s dad though you wouldn’t know it. He has all but disappeared from the world. He refused the Empress Victoria’s call to become a Blood Wraith, and he refused to cede Khan Island to the BloodStar Empire. He is fiercely independent, and reportedly unimaginably powerful. Out of respect for his family, Victoria granted him his requests and granted him amnesty for refusing her call to service as a Blood Wraith.”

Jacek frowned, “What is someone with so much power doing hiding from the world?”

Erika grimaced, “Zara says he isn’t hiding. They say he pulls strings from the dark and controls an entire underground empire sprawling the western hemisphere.”

Erika paused before continuing, “And Ramses and Zara are so keen to put Constance in a BloodStar position because it will either bind the country to see a Khan throw her full support and faith behind a new BloodStar Empire, or… it will result in Constance’s swift and unexplained death for drawing the ire of her father should she accept the position.”

Jacek smirked, “Do you believe this nonsense? Such a powerful entity would have had plenty of reason to surface over the past few months to years, and he hasn’t. I have no doubt this Feng Khan is a powerful man… how could he not be given Constance’s gifts with ki. However, to say he can effortlessly kill Constance in a manner that would be inexplicable, or to say he could hold his own against Empress Victoria is a stretch. Nonetheless, I do agree it would be a show of unity for the country for her to accept the position, even if it is a mistake in the long term.”

Erika smiled at Jacek, “I share your opinion. Constance has been the best friend of a BloodStar her whole life without problem from her father. Though I do see the difference in being friendly and submitting. Even so, why would someone so reclusive leave the shadows for this? It makes no sense.”

Jacek laid back on the bed, “Zara and Ramses are more nervous than ever. They have been handed an empire that could erupt in civil war any second. They know the long-term risks, but they are prioritizing the short term. Khan Island has most of the warriors of the old way, and having Constance in charge would be a great buffer to prevent an uprising.”

Erika smiled at Jacek, “Enough speculation and stress. This isn’t our empire to worry about anyways. What do you say we get a long, nice night of rest, and then tomorrow we actually try to enjoy being out at the beach and on the sea regardless of our company?”

Jacek hugged Erika and wrestled her onto the bed, “Come here, you!”

Erika giggled as Jacek held her in his arms embracing her as they kissed slowly.

Jacek smiled, “Let’s make tomorrow fun. The water around Khan Island is crystal clear, and the temperatures are perfect year-round.”

It wasn’t long before the couple was snuggled into bed under a heavy but soft comforter that had a crisp cold touch to it. Only moments passed before both fell asleep after a long and mentally exhausting day of politicking.

However, as Jacek drifted into sleep, a small dark pinpoint of ki sprang to life on the back of his neck exactly where Constance had massaged him earlier.

Across the castle, in her master suite, Constance lay completely naked on her bed propped up against a bevy of soft pillows.

An identical pinpoint of dark ki lit up her palm. As she took note of the ki, she smiled and bit her lip, “Asleep already Jacek? Erika really is boring, isn’t she.”

She ran her hand down her body touching herself, and moaned, “I told you darling. There’s no escaping me. I can make your dreams come true, but tonight… I think I’ll make my own dreams come true.”

She let out a loud laugh that could be heard from within the walls of the upper castle as she prepared to take what she had patiently waited for all evening.
