RYAN. I was sluggishly buttoning up my open shirt, reminiscing the moments Claire had helped me with it. I glanced back at her sleeping form for the nth time today, my gaze connected with hers instantly, she's awake, and has been staring intently at my back without my knowledge. I get admiring look a lot from girls and I'm very familiar with it, but it's not the same when the stare comes from Claire. "Do you want me to help you with that?" She pointed a finger to my abs. God, her light voice which is a bit cracky due to lack of disuse for a long time, sounds so sexy. "Do you want to help?" I asked back. She rolled her eyes sassily. "I wanted a simple yes or no, not a question in return" I wanted to say something back to her sassy response, but I kept my mouth shut in other to avoid any argument with her, the last thing I want is to have another round of fight with Claire before going to work, and then end up saying things that'll hurt her and make her take the couch. She got o
CLAIRE. I was in the kitchen with Sarah, Anita and Stella again, baking cup cakes of different flavors. It's fun to be with them, when I say 'them', I mean Anita and Sarah, Stella is excluded. The fun I get from being around Anita and Sarah sometimes get ruined by Stella's snarky remarks, targeted at me. I don't understand what I ever did to the girl. 'You're dating the guy she likes' My subconscious reminded me. Is that it? That's all I did? Is that enough reason for her to hate me? But Ryan and I are only fake dating. 'Well, she doesn't know that'I agree with that inner voice. From the side of my eyes, I got a blurry view of her perfect body sitting on the counter. I pursed my lips guiltily. Stella is only falling for Ryan like every other normal girl, but I feel like I'm the one hindering her from getting him. Or will I say I'm hindering Ryan from getting her now that she already reciprocated his feelings? "Oh my God, did you fall from heaven to meet Ryan? You're so perfect
RYAN. Claire's pretty face was stained with streaks of tears flowing down freely. I feel saddened, and my heart getting moved by the sight right in front of me. During meetings, all I wanted was to go back home to her and finish what I started this morning, and even if I don't complete that task, I'm contented with her presence around me. Now that I can see her, I'm supposed to be happy about that, but her sadness radiates through me, automatically pulling down my mood. "What's wrong?" I asked worriedly, holding her cheeks firmly in my palm. She held my wrist and gently brought it down, then she cleaned her face with the back of her palm and walked past me "Nothing, nothing"I went after her, matching with her fast pace up the stairs. "This isn't nothing, You're crying, Claire, what's going on with you?"When she got into the bedroom, she rushed into the bathroom, locking the door. I sighed, pressing my hand and forehead on the door. "Claire, come on out now" She remained locked
CLAIREI cried a lot in the bathroom, washed my face, and cried a whole lot again, before returning back to the bedroom, feeling worse. The memory of my parents death got stuck in my head and the highschool bully scenes wouldn't stop playing on repeat in my head. I tried to distract my sad thoughts by using the TV. I checked for a comedy show and began to watch, but I couldn't even find the humor in it. While I was still trying to force my mind into the show, I felt the bed get slightly dipped behind me and a familiar cologne filled the air. Ryan. I half turned my body towards him. He was giving me that look that melts my heart in an instant, and, God, he looked so dashing with his tousled hair, his shirt rolled up to his elbow and his sagged tie. Even in my sad state, I won't hesitate to eat him alive if I could. 'Talk to your hormones, girl!" My subconscious advised. I really should do that, but it's so hard to do when you've got someone as hot as Ryan right in front of you, fi
CLAIRE.I watched as Ryan's admirer wouldn't stop grinning and pressing her thick body on Ryan, and I don't think my boyfriend was willing to drop her off to the ground. I bet he's enjoying the feel of her curvy body on his sculptured one. I looked away, trying hard not to act immature about the current situation of my fake boyfriend caring less with the way a girl's sexy thighs are wrapped around his waist. If he wasn't pleased, and he really does care about how I was going to feel, he would have dropped her by now. I don't think a hug supposed last this long? And this isn't even a proper hug to begin with. "Lana..." He called with a gruff in his tone. "Ryan, I missed you so damn much!" Her squeaky voice sounded in my ears. Ryan sighed exasperatedly. "Lana..."She interrupted him again "You didn't tell me you are in Chicago, you know I can always come around when you need me" she winked. Okay, that's it. I'm leaving. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I can't help it. I just c
RYAN. I wanted to go after Claire, but Catherine held my arm, smiling inmocently at me. I puffed out my exasperatedly. "Catherine, what is it?"She giggled loudly. God, what's so funny? There's nothing hilarious here right now. Claire walking off in anger is definitely not something to laugh about. "You see my friends over there?" Catherine motioned her head towards a group of girls standing few feet away from us with big grins on their faces. "They dared me to kiss you because they didn't believe I really had sex with someone as hot as you are" "Oh well, congratulations, Catherine, your dumb game just put me in a deep shit" She creased her perfectly carved brows in confusion "What do you mean?"I rubbed my palm over my face "You see, the last time someone shoved her tongue down my throat...." I outstretched my arms backwards towards the direction Claire has walked off to "She took the couch, and before she could sleep on the same bed with me that night, you wouldn't believe I wa
CLAIRE. I opened my eyelids slowly and reluctantly. I sat up sluggishly, scanning the room, expecting to see Ryan standing in front of the mirror, trying to button up his shirt hurriedly, and cussing out someone's mother on the phone, but there was nothing like that. The room is so peaceful. I rubbed a palm over my face, sighing deeply as I did. I feel like my bones are weak today. I rolled on the bed and sighted a note on the bedside table, picking it up, I read;'The gym'. I huffed. Even in a note, Ryan still sounds very arrogant, he couldn't even write a simple 'good morning' before anything else. The laziness I felt minutes ago disappeared as I decided to go meet him at the gym. My body and mind is so eager to see his handsome face.For the past few days, it happened that he's the first person I see when I wake up and the last before I sleep, It's a bit weird today isn't the same. The thought of gyming with him today gives an exciting feeling, it's like the way you feel when
CLAIRE. My head is on an unrecognizable cloud, my mind is blown away, my skin is getting too hot, all these are caused by a kiss from Ryan. He's obviously an expert in this, while me? I'm trying to keep up with his professionalism. I withdrew from the kiss, inhaling and exhaling softly over his face. His eyeballs are swirling with an emotion he shows to me whenever we are alone in the bedroom, but this is just.... intense. "Wanna learn more?" He asked against my lips, carrying me up from my thighs against his sculptured body, my legs automatically wrapping around his waist. His large hand covered a whole cheek, to my ear, with his fingers in between strands of my hair. I nodded in response to his question as I can't find my voice for now. He backed me against the wall, pressing his perfect abs on my stomach, and still holding my waist. When he kissed me again, I felt his tongue sliding in this time, and his hand trailing from my thighs to my hips. I can't seem to keep up with Ryan
CLAIRE. I feel my heart softening towards Ryan. I took a sharp breath. "Ryan, you are messing my head up" "I want you back, Claire. I want you for real this time..."I want him in my life too, but... "The contract" I mentioned. "Fuck the contract, it's gonna get terminated" He pushed back his full hair. "I just want you in my life. I wasn't able to sleep well, or eat well. I couldn't even think straight, I felt like I've lost you forever" He whispered. It was obvious he is not the normal Ryan I know, some things are not right about him. I observed him again, and I noticed he lost weight, his dark eyes told me he wasn't getting enough rest and the sincerity in his eyes is so clear and bright, I don't think that can be faked. I gazed at him speechlessly, suppressing the urge to fall into his arms. "What can I do to make you accept me?" He asked slowly. I sighed. "I can go on my kneels right now, right here if you want" He said, rushing his words and sounding eager. I couldn't h
CLAIRE. I cried on Terry's shoulder, and he was nice enough not to ask me questions. When I got home earlier today, he noticed something was off about me and walked after me to my bedroom. As soon as he entered, I unintentionally broke down in front of him. "I feel so down, Terry. It hurts so much" I poured out with croaked voice. "I know, I know" he whispered, smoothening my hair with his palm "I'm gonna kill him"I raised my head from his shoulder to look at him squarely "Please, don't do that, don't hurt him""But, he hurt you" he reminded me softly. "I still love him" I sobbed. He sighed, raking his fingers through his hair. "And please don't tell Charles about any of this" I pleaded, holding his arm."Including the fake relationship?" He asked with a frown. "Yes, please"He reluctantly nodded in agreement "Okay""Thank you"I placed my head on his shoulder to continue my weeping. I can't believe I'm crying over a guy I never had a real relationship with. I'm just so stupi
CLAIRE. "He proposed to you after the date?" Terry questioned, eyeing the ring from where he sat in the living room. It took me five seconds to answer him as the memory of the day Ryan gave me the ring flashed to my head, I smiled "Yeah, he did"He tilted his head "And you said yes to a fake marriage?" "Lower the volume of your voice, my uncle might hear you" I warned him sternly. "Sorry" he whispered "You said yes to a fake marriage?" He repeated in a whisper. "I did"He closed and reopened his eyes quickly. "Wait, rewind, rewind, rewind" He said dramatically, gesticulating with his hands. "So, you guys were in a fake relationship, yeah?""Yeah" I confirmed. He folded his arms across his chest "Are you telling me the touchy touchy and those seductive looks in the club was all for a show?""I..I think I already had feelings for him at that time" I answered, almost stuttering."The way you look at him..." He narrowed his eyes at me "Explains everything"I twisted the edge of my s
RYAN. "Good morning" Claire's cheerful voice made me turn my head towards the entrance door. The moment my eyes met with hers, all words flew into thin air. Oh, great! I thought my feelings will start to dwindle after the sex we had, instead, the exact opposite is happening. Her morning look can easily pass as my weakness anytime, and then to top it, her beautiful smile. "Hey, I uhmm..." She walked closer to the table "Brought you this" she dropped the plate of sliced apple she was holding on the table. "Thank you" I said slowly, typing with half concentration. "You are welcome" she said in a singsong. I licked my lips, trying not to get distracted by her beautiful face and voice. "So I got your note..." She began.I slowed my fingers on the keyboard, expecting her next words. "You could have just talked to me in person instead of sending a note"I did that because I was avoiding her, avoiding all troubles that came with this romantic feelings, but she's right. Talking to he
CLAIRE. I caressed Ryan's hard-on, watching as he lost all control. I got my own joy from watching his reaction and getting to feel the hardness and hugeness of his dick. "Claire" he breathed "Are you trying to kill me?" His voice was getting unclear and raspy. "We are really doing this...."I gazed at him, and he gazed back with lust filled eyes, then I climbed on his laps to straddle him. "Yeah, we are"I kissed him slowly and teasingly, twisting my body on his thighs. I felt his erection go harder as we progressed with our desirous kiss, it added a whole new fire to how I feel. "Claire, you're gonna be the death of me" he whispered raspingly, and sped up the french kiss afterwards. He pulled my nightie down to my waist, exposing my breasts, and his shirt was off his body too, revealing his attractive naked chest and his little tattoos. He kissed me all over my skin, while I wrapped my hand around the back of his head, whispering his name, then he flipped me over the bed, touch
RYAN. I feel really nervy like I'm about to go for a real marriage proposal tonight. I don't wanna fuck this up. Knowing Claire, one little mistake might make her reject the proposal, fake or not, or she might get into an argument with me and ruin the engagement plans. I breathed out for calmness before going downstairs to meet her, but I when I got there, expecting to see her in her beauty glory, I got disappointed with her absence. I almost rolled my eyes. Girls. I bet she is still taking her time to prettify herself. She is supposed to be the one to wait for me here considering she was the first to start the dress, but look who's waiting now. Soon, I heard the sound of her heels clinking to the tiles as she took slow, majestic steps down the stairs. Oh my God. This girl is beautifully created. Claire is so damn gorgeous.Her black, short gown which stopped above her knees and fitted her body, clinging to the right parts like it was destined for her body, was matching with my u
CLAIRE. After taking a cold shower, I found it very hard to fall asleep. I got out of the room and headed to the kitchen for something to eat, drink , or do, just anything to get Ryan out of my head. I still feel his hands on my body and I want it back there for real. I ended up taking some water before going back to the bedroom. I didn't get completely calmed, but a least the water seems to work to some extent. I wonder if Ryan is has fallen asleep, or he is busy with work on his laptop or probably sorting out some paperwork. The sound of his bedroom door closing told me he is very much wide awake. I got off from the big bed and walked towards the exit of the bedroom, but when I got to the front of the door, I halted. 'What the hell are you doing, Claire?' A sassy voice questioned. Good question. What am I doing?Well, I don't care about what I'm doing, as long as I'm just doing them to remain normal, especially in the head, since all in my brain box is just him. I opened the
RYAN. Claire and I got home safely, and that is enough for me to say a little Thanksgiving prayer under my breath, I mean, it wasn't easy for me with the temptations that kept creeping in while I was handling the wheel.My blood was so hot from desire, and I thought I was the only one that felt it to that degree until Claire took me by surprise by kissing me with the same hotness I feel. The kiss feels really heated, filled with so much passion and unspoken desires. I sat on the couch and with my hands under her thighs, I made her sit on my laps, then palmed both sides of her ass which was shoot out in the short sext dress that clung to her body. She straddled me, kissing me deeply with a hand at the back of my head, massaging my scalp which gave a real soothing feeling. One of my hands crawled under her short dress, making direct contact with her warm, smooth skin while we feast on each other's mouth. My aim is to get my hands up and feel her wetness, because I am so arousrd at
CLAIRE. I am trying so hard not to get affected by Ryan but I'm failing that task. It sounds easy, and it should be with any other guy, but trust me, it is not even close to simple when the guy in question is a hot one every girl wants to end up in bed with. During the ride to the nightclub, I caught him taking glimpses at me many times that I ended up losing count. The club, which is the venue for the birthday party is exquisite and full of wealthy people.Glancing at him as I walked side by side with him, I realized he is the same in the business world as he is in this type of wild world, apparently he is popular here too. He doesn't have a smile on his face, and he isn't going for unnecessary chats, just accurate observations gotten with confidence and intelligence. We strode straight to the bar, and ordered our drinks. The birthday celebrant soon noticed us and came over to greet us. The curiousity in his eyes did not go unnoticed by me, but he didn't press us with many quest
