The Seductress

It was our annual New Year's Eve party. A traditional black and white tie affair. The party had been in full swing for at least an hour before I noticed her. The band was playing and the guests were dancing. In hindsight, the fact that she slipped past me without me noticing was unusual. My eyes are like radar at these gatherings, scanning for any new or intriguing faces. Somehow, she slipped past my awareness until the moment she stepped into the grand ballroom.

I was pouring myself a drink, my usual gin and tonic, when I felt the atmosphere shift. It wasn’t just me who noticed; the room seemed to pause as she appeared in the doorway. She wasn’t wearing a dress or a top or even pants. In fact, she wasn't wearing anything at all. She was totally nude! She stood around 5 feet 7 inches in height and appeared to be in her early twenties, I’d say. Her dark hair cascaded in wild waves over her shoulders, and her lips were painted a crimson red.

She casually sipped wine from a golden chalice, which she held in her right hand.

She looked like a high-end fashion model of sorts. 

Her body, a perfectly sculpted work of art, commanded the attention of every person in attendance.

The pearly, firm roundness of her B-cup breasts caught the light just so. Her pink areolas were puckered, and her nipples were erect, pebbled against the cool air of the room, looking as though they yearned to be fondled. Her stomach was toned, her waist dipped in sharply, her hips flaring out suggestively. Her legs, long and lithe, seemed to go on for miles, terminating in a pair of delicate feet with red-painted toenails.

Each step seemed to be a graceful glide, her bare feet making no sound on the polished wood floors. The lights above caught every curve of her firm, perky B-cup breasts and illuminated the well-maintained patch between her legs. Everyone at the party was captivated by her presence. Even the band stopped playing as each member jostled to get a better look at her.

“Who is she?” I whispered to Greg, who was standing beside me, absently stirring his whiskey with his finger as his eyes tracked her walking into the ballroom.

He blinked at her. “Beats me. You think she’s with Paul?”

Paul was the host, a gregarious type who loved an eclectic guest list. It wouldn’t have been completely out of character for him to invite someone like her on a whim. Still, even Paul usually demanded his guests wear clothes. After all, this was a formal event, and everyone was dressed in black and white tie and evening gowns.

“She’s just… standing there,” I expressed, taking a sip of my drink to mask my unease. I had to pinch myself. "Am I hallucinating, or is she naked?" I remarked.

The woman tilted her head slightly, as though she’d overheard me. Her smile widened, and her green eyes—deep and dark—locked onto mine, as she smiled at me flirtatiously.

I froze, and in an instant, I was sure of two things: she was drunk, and she wasn’t shy.

I nodded and smiled back at her as she made her way further into the ballroom. 

The crowd's gaze had zeroed in on the thin, tidy, well-kept, hairy patch between her legs, expertly trimmed and maintained, nestled like a delicately placed landing strip. It was carefully groomed and manicured to perfection. A tiny strip of hair so fine, it looked like spun silk. The moist crevice in the center glistened in the light.

Her every movement was electrifying. The air around her pulsed with erotic energy. The provocative glide of her hips, the roll of her breasts, the seductive sway of her bare ass—all of it served to titillate the entire party.

She continued to steal into the ballroom, her hips swaying like a pendulum. She knew the effect she had on the crowd. She reveled in their stares and relished the power she held over them, knowing exactly what they wanted and what they craved. She would give it to them, but first, she would tease them just a little bit more. Just enough to drive them wild with lust and longing. 

The room itself seemed to pulse with energy, as if every eye in attendance were riveted to her ass, her breasts, or that manicured patch between her legs. Her body magnetized them, drawing them in like moths to a flame. 

She wanted them to look at her, to desire her. She reveled in their attention, craved it like a drug. And they could not look away, could not tear their gaze from the erotic masterpiece before them.

Her hips swayed more provocatively as she crossed the ballroom, her body language screaming for attention, beckoning all who saw her to come hither and worship at her altar.

“I should… uh, say hi,” Greg stammered, though he didn’t move an inch.

Before I could respond, she strode toward us with chalice in hand, sipping her wine, her bare feet making no sound against the polished wooden floor. Every step seemed deliberate, a slow unraveling of tension in the room. By the time she stopped in front of us, the grand ballroom had gone completely silent.

“Hello,” she said, her voice low and velvet-smooth. “I hope I’m not interrupting.”

Interrupting? She might as well have been a meteorite that crashed through the roof.

“Not at all,” I managed to answer her, though my voice came out hoarse. “Uh, what are you drinking? Can I fill your chalice?”

She considered me for a moment, her gaze traveling from my face to the gin and tonic in my hand. 

“What are you drinking?”

“Gin and tonic.”

“I’ll have that,” she grinned, her smile never wavering as she poured out her half-drunken wine into an ice bucket. "Fill me up!"

I took her chalice and busied myself, filling it with my traditional gin and tonic, hyper-aware of her presence. The clink of ice cubes seemed unnaturally loud in the quiet. Greg stood frozen beside me, his usual charm nowhere to be found.

As I handed her the drink, she leaned in closer than necessary. “Thank you,” she sighed, her fingers brushing mine as she took the golden chalice and began drinking. Her skin was cool, almost cold, but it sent a warm jolt through me.

“You’re welcome,” I said, my eyes looking her up and down from head to toe. “So, uh… I don’t think we’ve met. I’m—”

“Alex,” she interrupted, her eyes gleaming with amusement. “I know.”

That threw me off. “You know?”

“I know a lot about you, Alex,” she said, taking a sip of her drink. “You’re the District Attorney of this city, aren’t you? But let’s not talk about that now.”

Before I could press her, Paul burst into the room, his booming laughter shattering the tension.

“And who is this?” he exclaimed, staring at the woman.

“Olivia. My name is Olivia,” she replied, offering her hand to Paul.

“Paul. I’m Paul, taking her hand in his.

“Pleased to meet you, Paul,” she said.

Paul grinned. His eyes twinkling. “I didn’t think anyone would be so brave as to ignore the dress code. You know this is a black-and-white tie affair, don’t you?”

She chuckled softly, a sound that sent shivers down my spine. “I know, I’m a little underdressed; I can leave if you want.”

“No… no… Stay, please,” Paul crooned, clearly delighted. “Everyone, this is Olivia,” he announced to the crowd.

Olivia. The name fit her somehow, though it answered none of the questions in my mind—like where had she come from—or why was she here? And why was she dressed—or rather, undressed—like that?

The band began playing again. "Fly Me to the Moon," by Frank Sinatra.

Olivia and the rest of the partygoers began to drift into the parlor room, drawn by Paul’s laughter and, undoubtedly, by Olivia herself. She didn’t seem fazed by the growing crowd. If anything, she thrived on the attention, her every gesture and glance captivating those around her.

“Are you a model or something?” Someone asked.

“Something like that,” she replied with a wink.

“Do you know Paul?” Another voice chimed in.

She smiled enigmatically. “Never met him, but he seems like a nice fellow.”

The questions kept coming, but her answers were always vague, deflecting without revealing anything substantial. It was as if she enjoyed the mystery, the way people hung on her every word.

“Alex,” she said suddenly, her voice cutting through the chatter. “Do you want to show me around?”

I blinked. “Uh, sure. I mean, there’s not much to see, but…”

“Perfect,” she said, handing her half-finished drink to Greg. “Lead the way.”

The crowd parted as she moved toward me, her confidence unshaken. I felt their eyes on us as I led her out of the parlor room and into the hallway.

Olivia's confident stride and mesmerizing curves were impossible to ignore. She moved with a grace that was both commanding and intoxicating.

The hallway seemed to stretch on for miles. Every time I looked over my shoulder, I caught a glimpse of Olivia's breathtaking physique in the corner of my eye.

"This is Paul's place, right?" she asked as we walked.

“Yeah,” I said, still trying to wrap my head around her. “You’ve never been here before?”

“Not in this lifetime,” she said with a playful smile.

I frowned. “I thought everybody's been here?”

She stopped to admire a painting on the wall. “This is beautiful,” she said. “Who painted it?”

“It’s a Monet. An original.”

“I think Paul picked it up at auction at Sotheby’s,” I said. “He’s got an eye for that sort of thing.”

Olivia tilted her head, her expression thoughtful. “An original, hugh. It must be worth a lot.

“Paul paid 24 million for that piece,” I said, glancing at the painting. 

She seemed impressed by that price tag.

She turned to me, her eyes searching mine. “Do you believe in second chances, Alex?”

The question caught me off guard. “I guess? I mean, everyone makes mistakes, right?”

She smiled faintly. “Yes. Everyone makes mistakes.”

There was something in her tone—sadness, maybe, or regret—that made me want to ask more. But before I could, Paul’s voice boomed from the living room.

“Come on, you two! We’re playing charades!” 

The hallway was quiet, the soft glow of sconces casting long shadows against the walls. “Paul’s place is something of a maze,” I said, trying to fill the silence. “He’s got a little bit of everything—art, antiques, rooms that don’t seem to have any purpose.”

“Like people,” Olivia murmured behind me.

I glanced back at her, startled. She met my gaze with a faint smile but said nothing more.

We passed through the dining room and into the prep kitchen, its polished steel counters gleaming under fluorescent lights. It was an odd space, sterile and utilitarian compared to the decadence of the rest of the house. Olivia’s fingers brushed lightly against a counter as she walked, her movements languid and deliberate.

“This is the kitchen,” I said, gesturing vaguely. “Paul likes to show it off, though I doubt he’s ever used it.”

Olivia chuckled softly, a sound that seemed to echo in the quiet. “A stage for someone else’s performance,” she said, her hand trailing to the edge of a butcher block where a small steak knife lay. Her fingers lingered there for a moment, almost imperceptibly, before she picked it up as though examining it and casually hid the knife behind her hand and forearm.

“Shall we continue?” Olivia gestured.

I nodded, leading her out of the kitchen. She followed close behind, her presence a constant hum against my senses. I hadn’t noticed that the steak knife was no longer on the counter.

Olivia's emerald green eyes sparkled with mischief as she gestured towards the grand staircase, her fingers lingering on my arm. I nodded and led her up the grand stairs to the second floor.

“This is the master bedroom,” I said as we reached the top of the stairs. I pushed open the double doors, revealing an opulent space with heavy drapes, a king-sized bed, and a balcony that overlooked the garden below.

Olivia stepped inside, her eyes scanning the room with quiet curiosity. “It’s beautiful,” she said, moving toward the bed in the center of the room. Her voice had taken on a softer, more intimate quality, and I felt my pulse quicken.

“It’s Paul’s favorite room,” I said, my voice faltering. “He says it’s where he feels most himself.”

“And you?” Olivia asked, turning to face me. Her green eyes locked onto mine, her expression unreadable. “Where do you feel most yourself, Alex?”

The question caught me off guard. “I... I don’t know,” I admitted.

She stepped closer, her movements slow and deliberate. “Maybe here,” she purred, her breasts pressing against my body. “With me.”

I put my arms around her, the space between us shrinking with every breath. “Olivia…”

She placed a finger against my lips, silencing me. “Don’t think,” she whispered. “Just feel.”

Her lips found mine, soft and insistent, and the world seemed to dissolve around us. I gave in, my hands finding her waist as she pressed against me. Her touch was electric, her movements deliberate, as though she were guiding me into some ancient and sacred ritual. I took one of her nipples into my mouth and rolled it between my teeth gently. She moaned loudly at the sensation, arching her back. "Oh God, Alex," she cried out as my mouth enveloped her nipple.

She led me to the bed, her body pressing against mine as we sank into the sheets. Her every touch, every whisper, seemed designed to pull me further under her spell. I was lost, my mind drowning in the sensations she offered. She was driving me out of my mind!

And then, a sharp pain pierced my throat.

I gasped, my hands moving to the source of the pain. Blood poured between my fingers as I stared up at Olivia, her face calm and detached, the steak knife gleaming in her hand.

“For my father,” she said softly, her voice steady and devoid of remorse. “You destroyed him; you were the D.A. that put him behind bars, and now he’s rotting away in federal prison because of you.”

I tried to speak, but the words gurgled in my throat, drowned by the blood that poured out of me. Olivia leaned in close, her lips brushing against my ear.

“Goodbye, Alex,” she whispered.

She stood up, leaving me sprawled on the bed as my vision began to blur. I watched her walk to the balcony doors, her steps unhurried, her figure framed by the moonlight that beamed through the windows. She grabbed the door handles and threw both doors open, letting in the cool night air. It was almost like watching an actress in a play; every movement so precise and calculated, as though she were fully in control of this whole scenario.

Without hesitation, she climbed onto the railing, her arms spreading wide like wings. She turned her head, her gaze meeting mine one final time.

“For freedom,” she expressed, and then she leaped.

The last thing I saw before darkness claimed me was Olivia’s body plunging toward the water fountain below.
