Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 131 She Liked the Feeling of Prey Drowning

Once the bodyguard left, Josh Fudge recalled the stunning girl by Sylvester Gomez's side, a spark of desire in his eyes.

It had been a long time since he tasted such beauty.

But she belonged to Sylvester, and all he could do was look on.

Josh scooped up some hot spring water, letting it wash over him as his eyes narrowed in thought.

Sylvester had his fair share of attractive companions, and some of them even had a similar look to Cicery, with well-defined features and captivating expressions. Why wouldn't he indulge? Was he really considering the feelings of that little vixen Cicery?

The idea that the ruthless Sylvester had been caught in a love trap made Josh Fudge's eyebrows twitch with a revelation that felt like striking gold.

Just then, Josh heard a faint, metallic sound, like the clash of tiny cymbals.

As he turned around, he met Cicery's starry eyes and her stunning visage took him by surprise.

She wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion. After all, who would imagine the world's top assassin was such a young girl, still in her teens?

Josh watched Cicery approach, her hands resting on the edge of the hot spring, a wry smile playing on her lips, "Miss Cicery, this is the men's hot spring area. Did you take a wrong turn?"

Her eyes, clear as a pristine spring, seemed to reflect the most untainted beauty in the world.

Shaking her head, a smile on her lips but her eyes ice-cold, Cicery replied, "I didn't make a mistake, Josh. I'm here for you."

Her voice was soft and delicate, like pearls gently dropping onto a plate.

Josh's gaze darkened with desire flowing in his veins, yet he somehow managed a casual grin, "Miss Cicery, aren't you afraid Sylvester Gomez will get angry for seeking me out?"

As she moved closer, Cicery placed a slender finger against her lips, "Shh! If you don't tell, and I don't tell, Sylvester Gomez will never find out," she said, her innocence belied by her chilling gaze. No man could resist such temptation.

Josh took a deep breath-this woman was irresistible.

He wanted to leap out of the water and take her then and there.

After all, if she'd been with Sylvester, she was probably experienced, and with no evidence, the siren wouldn't spill the beans.

Alone with her, and with this kind of seduction, it was practically an invitation.

In his mind, he was ready to show her just how powerful he could be.

But as Josh attempted to stand up, Cicery's smile deepened, stopping him. She was now just a yard away, looming over him with authority. "Stay there. I like it in the water," she commanded. She relished the moments when prey died in the water, their crimson blood spreading like the most vibrant flowers.

Cicery loved that most of all.

The Rose of Darkness from Team Ruby had caught Josh Fudge by charm; he couldn't shake the image of that delicate siren, held tightly by Sylvester in the bleachers of the wildlife preserve.

His heart had been snatched away by this woman's tender vulnerability-an allure that begged for protection. He wondered if she could handle what was coming next.

"I happen to like the water too," Josh confessed, blissfully ensnared by Cicery. His sense of danger had evaporated.
