His Seduction

Chapter 3.

"Damn!" Logan hissed as they once again sat at the breakfast table, today it was only the four siblings, their parents had already left to help the bride get everything ready.

"What is it?"

"We forgot to got to the planner to switch your seat"

With a blush coating his cheeks he smiled, 

"That's fine, I'm okay with the seat now"

"Oh, does that have anything to do with Mr. Cirillo?"

Riley's eyes widened as his other siblings joined in on the conversation.

"What about Mr. Cirillo?" Landon queried

"I saw him yesterday apparently he has the biggest shares in Uncle James' company, and I hear they're really good friends" Elizabeth stated before stuffing an entire pancake in her mouth.

"But what does that have to do with Riley?"

"They're seated next to each other and somehow he's gotten under our little brother's skin, or is it the other way around?"

By now Riley's face was burning 

"That's not tr-true he just helped me through an attack"

"What, you had a panic attack yesterday why didn't you tell me?"

"It was embarrassing, I'm almost 22 years old and I can hardly be in the same room with 25 people, what am I gonna do today when there are over a hundred guests?" 

They gave Riley a sympathetic look, their brother had always had it a little harder than them. Their childhood was filled with family get-togethers and business dinners, once you were a Frost you inherited everything that came along with that surname. 

Riley had never liked being in the public eye, but it was unavoidable thus after only a few years in school he had to start doing it from home. Their father thought it best he go back for his high school years; however, Riley had a mental breakdown on his first day and had to resume home schooling. Finally at the age of 18 he told his parents he wanted to travel the world to meet different people of different backgrounds and maybe it would help him somehow.

He left and was happier than he had ever been, there was still a slight pang in his chest whenever he went to the grocery store and saw couples shopping and laughing together, Paris really was the city of love. 

The only thing that consoled him were the memories of his encounters with people and he came to the conclusion that he really was better off alone. 

After meeting Mr. Cirillo, he was thrown completely off guard, though they hadn't spoken for long Riley still enjoyed his company and how easily he had dealt with his attack.

For some odd reason he felt safe with the large, bear of a man and he would be lying if he said he wasn't attracted to him.

Shaking his head, he rid himself of those thoughts, Nikolai Cirillo was one of the most eligible bachelors in the U.S. he wouldn't waste his time with Riley Frost. The boy who was terribly shy and afraid of his own shadow, he couldn't even travel without his 23 stuffed animals. 

Especially after he had eagerly read all those children's books the previous day, the older man must think he was a child.

He probably wasn't even gay.

"So, Riley of all the places you've been to which was your favorite?"

He glanced up at his sister who had taken the initiative to change the topic seeing his discomfort.

"Mm, I'd have to say Paris"

"Why?"

"Well, for one the food is amazing. The people are the type to give what they get so you show them respect and they'll reciprocate, no one said anything about my clothes and remember I had my hair very short back then so I didn't look this feminine"
