Chapter Forty ThreeNaomi wasn’t sure what to say.This had happened so unexpectedly.It wasn’t something she had ever thought about or rehearsed for.Never in a million years would she have expected Terry of all people to show up in a little town like Carson and ask her out to dinner.She had to dig deep and ask herself some questions and only give truthful answers.Was she happy to see Terry again?Well yes, a part of her was.Was she interested in getting back together with him?She hadn’t really thought about it.“Naomi…” Terry softly interrupted her thoughts.“Yeah?”“I know you so well. I can practically see all the wheels turning in your head; calm down. Perhaps I was moving too fast. I’m just so excited to see you again and with all the shocking commotion, I didn’t even give you a hug.Can I? Would you mind?” He hesitated as he waited for her answer.Naomi quietly nodded. Terry stepped forward and drew her into his arms.Senina glanced in Daykan’s direction, in case she neede
Chapter Forty FourSenina raced down to the Moonstruck Estate and once again, slid into her parking spot at the hospital.Although she did it on a regular basis, there was a feeling of déjà vu and she knew that it was from the day she had met Naomi.She really hoped Zekell was lazying around in her office as well.She barged into her office and there he was. But this time, he was flipping through one of her magazines.He looked up in surprise and paused mid-flip.Zekell really needed to get a hobby or something. They would talk about that later.“Safe speaking mode?” She frantically inquired.“Yeahhh.” He drew out the word slowly because he was already suspicious. “I’m glad you’re here. I’m going to need you to back me up; just follow my lead. It’s really important.” She said hurriedly.Zekell dropped the magazine on the desk and sighed. “Oh no, I know what that means. Sen, what did you do this time?”Senina flipped her hair over her shoulder. “Hey! I take offence at you already judg
Chapter Forty Five“Daykan…” Naomi said breathlessly.Okay, this was a surprise.What was it with these men and showing up in unexpected places today?“Naomi, you look so beautiful.” Daykan said softly and he meant it.She had done something with her hair and it fell in waves around her.She was wearing a simple red dress. It was just above her knee and with crisscross straps. She was wearing the black heels from their last date and holding a matching black purse. She was wearing tiny pearl earrings and no other form of jewelry.She had put some make up on.She looked stunning and it pained him to know that all this was for a date with another man.He only ever wanted her to dress up to go on dates with him; maybe for the girls’ nights out too. But certainly not with another male.Naomi blushed at the compliment. “Thank you.” She peered at him closely. “Wait, you look different too. I can’t quite put my finger on it but there’s something different about you.I don’t know if your skin
Chapter Forty SixNaomi had really not been expecting to see Daykan waiting when she got back. It looked like he hadn’t left that spot since she had driven off.It was about 8:30pm. So he had been waiting for almost two hours; give or take. Naomi turned off her car and slowly stepped out. She wasn’t sure how this conversation would go but she was emotionally drained.It felt like within the past few hours, she had gone on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. All the ups and downs were starting to make her feel queasy. Naomi walked forward and stopped when she was standing in front of him. For a few seconds, she stared at him in silence and thought, why the hell not?She sat next to him on the step, stared straight ahead and placed her chin on her knees.She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. They stayed like that for some minutes before she finally broke the silence. “Daykan, what are you still doing here?” She asked in a tired voice. “I really don’t have the energy to do this
Chapter Forty Seven Naomi came face to face with Daykan’s warm hazel gaze.His hand was still on her waist and he was staring down at her with a wide grin.She couldn’t help but grin in return.“Daykan,” She sounded breathless. “How are you doin…”Daykan leaned down and captured her lips in a soft kiss.This was the second time he was silencing her with a kiss and she had no complaints. She could get use to this.Daykan tightened his hold around her waist and pulled her even closer. Naomi raised her right hand and placed it on his cheek.It was a gentle kiss.Daykan softly teased her lips open with his tongue and Naomi was glad to allow him entry.It was also a short kiss but it felt like time had been paused for hours.Naomi almost moaned in protest when Daykan broke it off. He could understand her protests. He wanted the kiss to go on for far longer.But there were other guys present at the gym. He didn’t want them watching too long and lusting after Naomi. Asides from kissing h
Chapter Forty EightNaomi had been so caught up in her romantic fairytale that she had genuinely forgotten that Terry was even in the picture.It had taken him showing up again at the gym to jog her memory of his existence. Daykan had occupied every nook and cranny of her mind.Damn!She really wished that she had sorted things out with Daykan before Terry’s arrival.Then she wouldn’t have gone out to dinner with him or given any indication that she was actually considering the thought of them getting back together.A simple “I’m sorry Terry but I have a boyfriend now,” would have done the job.Although knowing Terry, that would probably not have been enough to dissuade him.But at least he would have known her stand from the beginning. And she would have avoided having this conversation she was about to have with him. Naomi was a little surprised with how fast Senina had taken off. Considering how well she had hit it off with Terry the last time, she had expected her to exchange pl
Chapter Forty NineZekell looked horrified. He hadn’t expected that to happen.He stood up and rushed to Senina’s side.“Sen, I was only joking. Please don’t be upset. I innocently tease you all the time. ” He gently rubbed her arms and leaned into her face. “You know I would never try to hurt your feelings on purpose.”Senina’s tears stopped as quickly as they had started.She wiped her cheeks and smiled wearily. “It’s fine Z; just a needed outburst of emotions.” She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. “I’m fine now. I’m sorry for making you worry; I wasn’t crying because of what you said.”Zekell exhaled with relief. “I’m glad to hear that. It takes a load off my conscience. But I would still like to know what’s going on and if there’s anything I can do to help. I never want to see you sad.” “Well, those tears were a mixture of happiness and sadness. So, it’s not entirely bad.” Senina smiled ruefully.“If you’re okay with telling me, I would still like to know what happened.”“G
Chapter FiftyDaykan groaned with longing and deepened the kiss.He blindly reached out and dropped his glass on the coffee table as well. He was tempted to toss it across the room but he didn’t want to startle Naomi or make her question if she was dating a sane guy.He had better things to do with his hands than hold a stupid glass of wine.He turned Naomi around without breaking off the kiss.She moaned in appreciation of his smart thinking; now, it was easier for her to kiss him.She placed one hand over his neck and gently gripped his hair with the other.Daykan slid his hands down her body and cupped her butt cheeks; they were soft.Naomi wrapped her tongue around his and teased him. She slid in and out of his mouth; Daykan was losing his mind. Naomi softly bit his lip and he groaned in response. It seemed that his mate was naughtier than he had thought.He pulled her closer towards him and Naomi could feel his hot bulge against her crotch.Her pussy grew wetter and she ground
