“Come here”, Richard whispered with fire of desires burning in his eyes.“What are you doing?” Emily asked in shock, gaping at his bare chest and tiny nipples that seemed to be calling out to her.This was the very first time her eyes caught sight of a man’s bare chest in reality. She had seen a number of that on the screen via the television or phone.However, this was real, and she was only some feet away from where he sat.“Oh my God!” She whimpered, with her heart beating out of her chest and her palms becoming engulfed with sweats.“Come here”, she heard his voice again. This time, it sounded more domineering and fierce. It was filled with desires and yet, it was strong enough to pull her to him.She could have easily taken some steps backwards and fled out of the room. However, something inside her pulled her towards him and, like someone under a spell, she found herself doing exactly what he ordered her.“Richard, why do you have your shirt off?” Emily asked as she stood befor
Emily closed her eyes and when she opened them, she found his deep brown eyes gazing directly at her and admiring her bare chest.Her heart flushed, with a wide smile making way to her face.No man had looked at her in such manner, and she could swear that she was enjoying every bit of what they were doing.“What are we doing now?” She asked in a soft and innocent voice that caused Richard to chuckle.“We are going to make love”, he replied and leaned closer to her ears, licking her earlobes and muttering some inaudible words into soft and red ears.He kissed her, softly at first and then ferociously as he went further, exploring her lips and taking in the taste of orange.Emily was numb and laid still. She was blank on how to react or what to say in such a situation.But then, slowly, she loosened up and lifted her hands towards his back.She caressed it softly, opening her mouth wider and giving him full access into the pleasure.“You haven’t done it before, have you?” He whispered
For several days after their act, Emily tried so hard to avoid making contact with Richard.She was drenched with guilt, and this was visible in her expression.Richard was relieved and extremely excited that he looked forward to grabbing Emily every minute.“You look quite different”, Barbara who had just returned from a trip with her lover said to Richard who was standing at the balcony and staring at the beautiful view of the city.He scoffed and swirled around to face her, with a glint of disgust in his face.“I’m sure your heart aches this moment. You never want me to be happy”, Richard said calmly, ignoring the puzzled look on her face.He strolled into the room where he grabbed a coat, and his phone.It was clear that he couldn’t stand the sight of Barbara.Barbara stayed rooted to the spot as she watched him leave the room. For the first time in a long time, she was without words to utter, neither did she have the nerves to start up an argument.“Wait!” She called out and ran
“Did you really summon me to talk about marriage?” Richard asked an elderly man who had his eyebrows raised and his mood calm.Richard scoffed again, glaring at the man and back at Barbara, who was mute and sort of uninterested.“Listen Richard, marriage is a beautiful and yet, strange place to be. You would experience several hurdles on the way, but it is left for you to shove it aside or allow it swallow you”, the man said, adjusting his glasses that seemed to be falling off his eyes.Richard gulped down hard again and shot a dead glare at Barbara.This was not the first time he attended such a meeting with the old man. As a matter of fact, he knew that the man did not summon him on his accord, rather on the request of someone.“Barbara, did you tell him to call us?” Richard was glaring at her furiously, with his eyes burning in wild rage.“You wouldn’t tell me why you suddenly decided to go on a trip and with the maid”, Barbara whispered, without an iota of guilt.“I should have kn
“Your wife loves you so much, and she fears losing you”, the elderly man chimed in after minutes of silence.That was definitely the most hilarious thing Richard had heard in a while. At this, he broke into loud laughter, clutching his stomach as he did so.“If only he knows her true self”, he thought silently.Richard was at the verge of uttering something when he heard slight sniffles coming from beside him.He quickly turned his head to Barbara, who was now dabbing her eyes with a tissue paper.“Wow!” Richard mouthed in amusement.He had always known Barbara as a sneaky human, but he had no idea of how far she was willing to go to make him look guilty in front of everyone.“Does it please you to see your wife in tears?” The elderly man asked, glaring at Barbara with a pitiful gaze.“I only want to know where he is going to. I’m his wife and should be aware of the places he goes to”, Barbara said amidst her sobs.Richard chuckled again and made to flare up in rage. However, he was
“You were definitely joking about having a divorce. Isn’t it?” Barbara asked with a scoff as she fastened her seat belt.Richard ignored her and quickly drove off, with his eyes fixed on the road.“You know you can’t do that. Everyone would make fun of us and people would write ill about us. That would destroy our career and everything we have worked for all these years!” Barbara yelled, breathing heavily and burning in rage.Still, Richard kept mute and avoided her gaze.His mind was away and all he could think of was how he was able to enter a trap he couldn’t come out of.“Why do you go about ruining my name and making me look like that bad person? You know how much Mr. Brown respects me, but you want to ruin that!” Richard yelled out of his lungs, throwing a dead glare at Barbara, who hissed and rolled her eyes.“What? You expect me to tell him that you are sweet and the most loving husband on earth. I mean, you bore me, Richard!” She said in disgust, hissing aloud in irritation.R
“Emily!” Richard called out elatedly the moment he walked into his apartment.He was extremely glad to be back home and thoughts of meeting with Emily gave him great relief.With a wide smile on his face, he approached the dining section, hoping to catch a glimpse of her in the kitchen.“Emily!” He called out again and immediately, she scurried towards the dining room.It’s been a long day for Emily. Earlier, she had burnt the food she was preparing and then, found something disheartening in Barbara’s room.“What were you doing up there?” Richard asked with a slight frown on his face.“Ohh!” Emily said and chuckled lightly, darting her head towards the door and wondering why Barbara was yet to arrive.“You stepped out with Barbara. I can’t see her anywhere around here”, she observed, clearly curious and in need of answers.Richard sighed tiredly and trudged closer to where she stood.He caressed her cheeks lightly and leaned in to place a kiss on her lips.“I missed you, goddess”, he w
She was covered in a veil, together with dark shades that made it impossible to point her out.Richard had suggested that earlier and couldn’t refute it. She was his maid, after all, and she ought to take orders from him.“To be honest, I’m not comfortable in these”, Emily announced the moment they got inside the car, ignoring Barbara who was furiously glaring at them from the door.“You just have to be comfortable. We can’t show your face. I mean, my reputation and your image…”, Richard muttered under his breath.For a minute, Emily stayed mute to understand what he had uttered.She was confused as she tried to ascertain what Richard was up to.“Why are going on this trip? You should do that with Barbara. She is your wife!” Emily spat out, with a glint of anger visible in her voice.Richard scoffed and fixed his gaze on her. Great fear and uncertainty engulfed her, and he wasn’t ignorant of that.He saw a young girl swimming in a river of emotions, trying to keep her feelings at bay,
