~I wanna make you feel like a goddamn queen you are.~RHYS POV:I don't get why Alora had to leave. Even if her father was back in the country, he still would not have called her and asked her to return like this. Because he was already aware of the fact that she was out of station for the weekend. However, I had not twice but to let go of her. Even though it was making me worried about her. I wanted to follow her but seeing her so persistent, I had no choice but to respect her decision. I sat in the living room with Yoda in my lap. I was playing with him when my Mom walked in there and she took a seat next to me. "You should have gone with her, if you are so worried. There is no point in staying behind and acting like the world has collapsed."I glanced at her, "I wanted to but she didn't let me." I pouted and Mom immediately smiled, pulling me into a hug."I can't believe that you are in love, Rhys." She whispered, her voice shaking with the emotions, "When you used to say that you
~I wanna kiss you until you are breathless.~RHYS POV:Soon, we stopped in front of the grand entrance of a house. I looked at the building with loath and rang the bell. A servant came and asked who we wanted to see."Asher? Is he home?" I hastily asked."Who are you? I don't think you are a friend of Mr. Raymond." He narrowed his eyes on me."Get him before I will do something you can't control." I was running thin on my patience. My head was hurting badly. "Tell him, Rhys Larsen is here. He will come on his own."The servant glared at me like I was here to rob their house. Damian must have sensed the tension between us. Thus, he stood in the middle and pulled out the business card from his pocket, "I am sorry. My brother is kinda depressed at the moment." He passed him the card, "We are not some bad guys. Trust me, we are here to have a quick chat with Mr. Raymond-" Damian tried to mend the situation.However, if this goddamn servant will not let me see Asher, I am gonna barge in th
~I wanna hear you breathing in my ear when you come.~RHYS POV:The hospital where Alora was staying was not like a huge hospital but a small Private hospital located on the outskirts of the city. That's why it was hard to locate her and I knew it. Therefore, I had to get this help from Asher. Upon arriving there, I immediately rushed towards the VIP ward. Whole floor was equipped with security.Some of the guards, who were on duty, came to stand in front of me, stopping me from walking in there, "You have to leave." One of them said to me sternly.Okay, this is not over yet. I should have really made my relationship with Alora public. If I did that on time, I wouldn't be facing such difficulty in seeing her right now."I am Alora's friend." The word friend sent a bitter taste in my mouth, "We have been working together. You know, I am the captain of the Riders." I introduced myself.The guard looked at me intensely, then his frowned brows relaxed upon recognising who I am, "Still you
~Beg me for more.~ALORA POV:After I left the house of Rhy's parents, I was feeling very light hearted. His mother is such a warm and gentle person, she made me feel so comfortable that it did not feel like I was meeting her for the first time. I hummed lightly, when the car's window on my sde shattered. The driver stepped on the brakes instinctively and Linda rushed to protect me, however, in the meantime, the shooter had already done his work.Everything happened in the blink of an eye. So fast that I did not have the time to feel pain. But Rhy's face flashed in front of my eyes. During that short span of time, the only thought that I had in my head was about not confessing my feelings to him.'I wish to see you.' It was a last thought that I had before my eyes shut.When I regained my consciousness and I found him sitting in front of me, I was relieved. I was relieved to be blessed with another day. Thus, I poured my heart in front of him.Rhy's eyes were red and swollen. He must h
~How to make her fall in love more?~RHYS POV:After Alora fell asleep, I returned to my condo as I promised her. Damian was already at my place. When I went inside, I found him in the living room. He had taken a shower and dressed in my clothes. I was seriously grateful for him for accompanying me today. If it wasn't for him, I would have done something that I would have regretted my entire life."Email me the contract. I will review it." He was perhaps busy with a meeting. I poured myself a glass of water and joined him in the living room. Damian looked up to meet my eyes and after he ended the call, he turned to me."I thought you would return after she was discharged from the hospital." Damian said to me sarcastically. I glared at him intensely and damn, he was mad at me."What? Spill it." It was of no use to twist the words. I would rather hear him curse me."You should end whatever you have with her." He said, firmly while my jaws clenched. I hate it when people tell me not to b
~Open your mouth and let me feed you....~ALORA POV:Next day, I was feeling a lot better. The pain had subsided. Even though it was still uncomfortable to use my body, I was feeling refreshed.Suddenly the door opened and I saw Asher walk in here. Although his complexion is really fair, the darkness on his face did not go unnoticed by me. He adjusted the gold frame on his nose and glared at me."I see that you are okay." He said to me.I mean, really? Is this the first thing he can say to me? No matter what is going on between us, we have spent almost all of our lives together. Before anything else, we are friends first. He can be nicer to me or show his concern whether I am okay or not. Moreover, he did not contact me yesterday at all.I sighed as I pushed down the disappointment, "Yes, I am better." He nodded but there was a hint of sarcasm behind his gesture,"Your lover boy was quite worried about you yesterday."My instincts immediately perked up and I sat up with the utmost dif
~I want to feel you come apart on my tongue.~ALORA POV:After 2 days, I was discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home. I needed to talk to Dad about me and Rhys. However, I was not getting the right time to do so. He was too busy with work and the attack on me had added to his burdens.I sighed as I laid quietly in the room. I was hell bored. There was practically nothing to do at home. Moreover, I was taking a few days off from the university. It's a relief that I do not have a load of studies. Otherwise, I am sure I would have to take a semester off.I got up from the bed and aimlessly started to organize things. Just when the knock on the window of my room caused me to flinch. Ever since the terrorist attack on me, I have been scared. Even though I haven't told anyone about it, whenever I hear a sudden sound of seeing someone, I cannot help but fear."Alora-" My hands were trembling when I heard a familiar voice and upon knowing who the person on the other side was
~I want to feel your legs shaking on my shoulders.~ALORA POV:I spent a few days at home. Rhys would visit me from time to time. However, with another Grand Prix approaching closer, he is busy with the practices and training.Luckily, tonight Dad is home and I need to talk to him about going to Monaco. In fact, I have to convince him to let me go there. Thus, I carefully went to the study, where he was working. I knocked on the door and waited until he gave me the permission to enter and when I walked inside, I found him indulging in a bundle of documents. Dad looked at me through the lens of his glasses, "Hey, what's going on?" He asked and diverted his attention back to the documents."Dad, I need to talk to you." I don't know what he found in my tone that caused him to look at me again. Moreover, he took off his glasses and put the pen back in the holder."Is everything alright?" He sounded concerned for me."Yeah, don't worry." I assured him, "Are you busy?""You can talk to me."
~Taking her ex out of the picture for good.~ALORA POV: Today is Mei's wedding and for her wedding I am more nervous than my own. I carefully picked out a cream colored silk dress because that was the dress code and I half heartedly dabbed little makeup on my face. I don't know whether it is a good choice to attend this or not but it is too late to reconsider my decision at this point. "Alora, are you ready?" Henry knocked on the door and asked me.I hurriedly applied lipstick and answered, "Yes, I am." I rushed to open the door and found him standing there. He was wearing black tux and damn, he looked hot. At my wedding, I was so engrossed in my pain that I did not pay attention to anything else and I don't think I remember how he looked in person. All that I have seen are the pictures.I swallowed hard and barely managed to tear my gaze off from him, "Shall we?" I don't know why I have started to feel uncomfortable around him and this is a good kind of nervousness.Henry led the
~You are my personal whore in private. ~ALORA POV: I was extremely surprised to hear the conversation between Dad and Henry. Henry has always been good to me but I did not realise that he has been in love with me. If this is true, then Dad was right. The person who has lost everything in this deal is him while I am such a selfish asshole that I never paid attention to his feelings. This is making me feel terrible. He has always been attentive to me while I was always oblivious. I don't know how to make it up to him. Furthermore, as far as I remember, Henry does not like taking care of the family business, so why does he have to suddenly resign from the ministry job and work there full time? For once in life, he needs to be selfish and prioritise himself. That night, I kept on waiting for him but he never returned. Next few days, he continued to avoid having conversations on this topic. In the end, I have no choice but to give in. There is nothing that I can do except for wa
~Stay on the top of me, my cowgirl. ~HENRY POV: I was relieved to see that Alora has patched up with her Dad. Now, she has a real home to go back to. Ever since I met her, I haven't seen her this happy before. She was genuinely relieved to be on the talking terms with her father. "You should try this. This is the speciality of our house." Alora pushed the mushroom soup. I had already asked our house helper to prepare the dinner. Perhaps Alora remained shut in her room the entire day, therefore, she did not catch up on all the preparations that were being made for the day. Otherwise, she would have asked me about it. "Really?" Mr. Scarlett happily took a spoonful of the soup and nodded in appreciation. "I will have to ask my chef to get this recipe." He said and Alora brimmed with happiness. "Whenever you want to have it, you should come here." She invited him. On the other hand, I... who was quietly cutting the steak for her, paused for a couple of seconds. I don't
~Waking up next to you is my most favourite thing.~ALORA POV: I was sitting in my room, browsing through the web. However, I could not stop thinking about Henry. These days, he looks really tense and anxious especially after the visit of his Mom at our place. "Maybe I shouldn't have told him." I was rethinking all the choices that I have made. I am sure he went to their residence and had a pretty bad conversation with them. I exhaled loudly and planned on talking to him tonight. Now, I really need to start paying attention to him. That's the least that I can do in return for his care for me. I was engrossed in my own thoughts when someone knocked on the door. I was laying on my stomach, thus, I instantly got up and straightened my back. Even though I have been married for so long, I still care about my image in front of him. "Come in." I said in a loud voice. The door opened and I found him standing at the door frame. He smiled as our eyes met but I was surprised to see
"Grind my hole.~RHYS POV: Tonight, I am going to see my teammates from the Riders. Ever since I stopped racing, I rarely met with them. It reminds me too much of the old days and suddenly, it gets really hard to get by. I barely managed to get over the hard time. I do not want to get stuck in it again. But tonight, there was a special occasion. Thus, I had no choice but to go there. I handed over the files to Amber and drove to the restaurant where we usually meet. The second I stepped inside, I was met with the familiar chatters and laughter. When they saw me, their faces lit up. It's been more than 3 months since I last saw them. "Hey, cap." Oliver said and just that one word 'cap' was enough to make me feel all sorts of emotions. Suddenly, the blood was drained from their faces and Olie pursed his lips together as he realized the mistake which he had made. Meanwhile, I instantly forced a smile to ease off the palpating tension in the air, "Hey." I gave him a high f
~Cuddle me every night.~HENRY POV: Next day, the first thing that I did was to go and see my parents. They were having breakfast at that time and upon seeing me, my Mom's gaze turned wryly. I glanced at her and turned to face my Dad. He is the only person with whom I can communicate to some extent in this house."I am sure I made it clear that I don't want any sort of interference in my personal life from you two." I was talking to him but my point was directed to Mom."What happened? Why do you look so angry?" He put down the fork and knife as he paid attention to me."She didn't tell you?" I was surprised to know that Mom pulled such a stunt even behind his back.Dad's eyes narrowed on me and then at Mom, "What did you do this time, Catherine?" He questioned her. Perhaps it was better for her to come clean herself.Mom exhaled loudly and glared at me, "Your wife isn't what I thought she is. She really told me." She was disdainful."Mom, are you serious? Alora has every right to te
~I like it wet. What about you?~HENRY POV: I was excited to go home tonight. I have been missing Kylo as well and going together meant that we will have dinner together too. With those two with me, I feel like we are a family. It fills my heart with warmth and something indescribable. To be honest, this makes me look forward to the future. I hurriedly wrapped everything up and rushed home. Even though there were a couple of things I needed to work on, but I brought them home with me. I will work at night. Right now, all I wanted was a comforting time. When I walked inside the condo, I saw Alora. She was sitting on the couch, reading a book. She looked better as compared to last night. "Hi." I was in a good mood. She lifted her head from the book and smiled at me. This is the first time I have been welcomed so warmly. I plopped on the couch. Alora shut the book and gazed at me deeply. There was something different about her behaviour and it was alerting my senses. "Y
~You are the reason why I am alive today.,~ALORA POV:I woke up due to the discomfort in my back. The brightness in the room caused me to shut my eyes again and I rubbed them until I was comfortable with it. I sat up on the bed, for some reason, my body was feeling lethargic and there was also some pain in my stomach. I placed my hand on it to comfort it. However, my eyes suddenly fell on the man who was sleeping on the chair next to the bed. Henry was sleeping soundly. This was my first time seeing him like this. Even though he is my husband and we have been married for a year now. Suddenly, his words resonate in my head. 'We aren't less than strangers. Other than the formal events that we have to attend, have we ever got together in private? Did you ever suggest having dinner with me? Did you ever come to me to have a conversation?' He was absolutely right about it. I have never done any of that. I would only talk to him if I needed his help with something. That's it. Still,
~You take my breath away with your kisses.~HENRY POV: To be honest, I heard the conversation between Rhys and Alora. She wasn't back after a while, thus, I came out looking for her. It wasn't my intention to listen to them but things turned out this way. I am not the kind of a person who loses his temper often but when I do, I am scary as hell and right now, the same rage was boiling inside me. I hate how he was treating her and I hated it more to see how desperate she sounded. Even after all that, she was longing for one glance from him. While she has always been my center of attention. She is a fucking sun and I have no choice but to revolve around her. This situation was making me feel pathetic and I loathed myself. Soon, I heard the sound of the footsteps retreating and the sobs of Alora was the only sound in the air. They were heart wrenching. So painful that I wanted to get Rhys and ask him to take her. If this can make her happy, I am willing to do it. I let her po
