CARTER's PovSomeone clearing their throat caught my attention and my eyes darted over to see Collins, my personal assistant, standing rather awkwardly in front of the open door, looking at every single spot but at me. "Who granted you the permission to come into my office?" I asked him with a voice that was laced with irritation. "And what the fuck do you want Collins?" I emphasized with angry eyes.“Um, sir, your father, he might have placed a call to your private phone. He said he was not able to reach you and asked me to check up on you,” He started before I could cut him off. “Okay, and what else did he tell you to do?” I barked out harshly. The thought of my father always left a bitter taste in my mouth. It was always something sinister with him. “I think he may be on his way over because he said to let you know this so that you would ‘tidy up’”“Tidy up?” I questioned him with raised brows, “what the fuck does he mean by that?”“Um, I- I do not think that I know that sir. Bu
CARTER’S POV I watched her with hooded eyes, taking in the graceful way she sat on the chair. She had on a touch of makeup today and a glossy kind of lip color that made me think of wanting to kiss her pink soft lips. “I um… I just wanted to see you…… I kind of missed you that is all,” she said to me. I felt a jolt of excitement as well as something else that I could not place my fingers on. But I refused to dwell on it, settling for just a nonchalant smirk in return. It was rare for any woman to come over to see me just because they missed me. The rest of them only came if I had been the one to directly call them over for their services or whenever they actually felt bold enough to come over because they needed some money. All in all, coming to see me was a dare that most of them did not dare to take. Well, there was a first to everything and Alvira was definitely a first. And here she was, all because she wanted to see me. If it were any other girl, I would have ha
ALVIRA’S POVHe was too good to be true, I thought as I walked up to my shared apartment. He was the definition of everything I vowed to stay away from but then, there was this gentleness he possessed that made me want to both run as far away from him as possible but still want to run back to him and just be with him for the rest of my life. He provided me with so much safety and comfort that I could no longer see myself being that way with anyone else. It was like he was my knight in shining armor. No, he was more mysterious than a knight in shining armor. He was my dark knight. He was so dangerous and influential and dominant and he made me weak in the knees but then, he was so gentle with me, even when he used harsh words with me, it was like he was trying to toughen me up and a part of me liked it. It revealed in the feeling of being submissive to him. It was like I could just look at him and feel all my worries fade away. My mind went back to the day we first met at the stri
ALVIRA’S POVIt was well past midnight and Clarissa had fallen asleep halfway into the movie which was about two hours ago. I didn’t have the mind to wake her up when she looked so peaceful in her sleep. Her illness always left her weak and even the littlest activity left her breathless and so, she had to rest very often. I had no issue with this. If anything, I wouldn’t mind if she didn’t do anything and just rested. All I ever wanted was for her to get better.I had tried to sleep for hours and hours to no avail and I had ended up tossing and turning on my bed, my mind in a turmoil as it tried to win the fight it apparently had with my heart. I couldn’t help the fear in my heart of falling completely in love with Carter. Yes, I was already on the edge and I knew that he was going to be one of the main people in my life but for some reason, I still felt like I was still holding back from completely falling off the edge and completely letting myself go hoping he would catch me and n
ALVIRA’S POV“Yes, sweets?”“Um, I wanted to ask you something…..” I muttered, fiddling with the hem of my top as I looked down at the floor. He was not here but I could still feel the intensity of his stares and felt intimidated by it. It was like he could see right through me. Like he could see deep inside of me, into my heart and see my feelings and thoughts and secrets. “Sweets, you are going to have to be louder than that if you need me to actually hear what it is that you are saying. I can barely hear you. What did I say about speaking to myself?” He asked, his tone stern as though he was scolding a four year old child. “I- I -I’m sorry.” I murmured. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I did not like being scolded. I know I should be stronger than this but sometimes, it’s just so hard to be strong. Besides, it’s Carter. I don’t know how to be strong around him. I always felt like a child around him. Safe. “What was that?” He asked, his tone still stern like a parent talking
ALVIRA’S povI stared blankly into space as I struggled to focus on the online class that I was currently participating in to no avail. My attempt was greatly futile. I sighed inaudibly as my mind kept drifting back to the last time that Carter and I hung out.I had been unable to sleep the entire night and he had come over to see me at my place. I had not even been expecting to see him.Apparently, he had had other plans other than just coming over for us to talk, plans that I knew but did not want to speak about.I remembered standing in front of my mirror, staring at myself while adjusting my hair for what felt like the hundredth time. I had spent the entire day thinking about my life and the one I was going to have with Carter, a man that I had met on my first night working as a waitress in a nightclub.He was no doubt charming and sweet. He always had a smile that made my stomach flutter with butterflies. But I knew that he was no ordinary man. He would also have a dark side to h
CARTER'S POV I was treading on very thin ice and I knew it. I knew that it was just a matter of time before it would all blow up on my rather handsome face. I know that all these shenanigans with Alvira were just a ploy only to gain my father’s trust, his approval and to quickly get back my inheritance. And I was so hell-bent on making sure that it would be what eventually happens. There were not supposed to be any real feelings or strings attached between the both of us, if only she knew. She was just a mere pawn in the game. She was quite unfortunate enough to be caught in the crossfire between my dad and I, and that was all that it entailed. There was really nothing more and nothing less.So why? Why did all of this thought leave a bitter taste in my mouth? Why do I continually feel like I have been stung by a million bees? And why does my heart feel heavier, weighing me down the longer I thought of just how broken she was going to be when the time would come for me to finally
CARTER'S POV I am still not sure how I got here. I was deeply stuck in conflict. I did not plan on this. Hell! I didn't even know it was happening until it was already too late. But now, here I was, completely stuck in a web of feelings that I could not untangle. Everything, it was all because of her. I needed to do something about her and I needed to do whatever it was swiftly. My father was going to be so pleased if he found out that I could not complete this one small task. I could already see him smirking at me with that evil glint in his mischievous eyes. He would be so gay with glee that he was correct about me being useless, me picking the wrong girl and me developing feelings for her on the mission.However, the thing was that I could not even decide whether I wanted to keep my distance from her or get closer to her. A part of me wanted to run in the opposite direction the second that she would walk into the room. But then she would say something to me or look at me in the
CARTER’S POVI walked into the living room, the space looking so small my guest bathroom would easily give it a run for its money. I took the time to fully take a good look around the room. I was impressed at the arrangement of the place. The room had a very minimalistic touch and I found it very cute. Every single thing in the house, every piece of furniture, the color grade of the walls, the little frames of pictures that hung on random places in on the wall, the smell of her perfume that wafted around the room, the throw pillows that looked like little clouds, the little pink barbie themed blanket on one side of the couch, even the color of the couch, the arrangements. Everything just screamed her and it was so heartwarming. So homey and warm and exuded actual care and love, something that was clearly lacking in my home.I stopped at one of the pictures on the wall. It was a picture of her and her best friend, I think her name was Clara or Ciara or something like that. It did not
CARTER’S POVFuck! She tasted so good. And the Lord give me strength but the way she moaned my name. It was so sinful coming out of her innocent lips. Nothing could beat that feeling and it took every single fiber in me to not rip off my clothes, bend her over and have my unholy way with her. She looked so beautiful splayed on the bed, her legs writhing under me as I held her in place.The look of surprise that washed over her face whenever she felt a wave of pleasure run through her was crazy funny and if I was not so wound up and laser focused on making her cum over and over again, I would have fallen flat on my butt and laughed at her. It was like she could not believe the waves of pleasure coursing through her body and the words that were rolling out of her lips. Her knuckles were white from tightly gripping the sheets. I slipped a single digit into her, feeling her tight hole.“Fuck, you are so tight, baby.” I groaned but she could only moan in response. She was so wet and sli
ALVIRA’S POVHis lips were as soft as expensive silk. I may not have touched any expensive silk in my life but that was what it had always felt like whenever he kissed me. He would kiss me with so much passion that I always ended up feeling weak in the knees. It was like his kisses were calling to my senses and every single time, they answered of their own volition.This kiss, however, was different. This kiss was demanding, it was so powerful it left me breathless. There was a certain urgency to it that left me weak. It was like Carter wanted me to fully give in to him and I could not help but happily give in to him.I felt his hands roam the side of my body, stopping and resting on my waist as they held me in place. His lips left my lips and trailed a path from my lips to my neck. Out of my body’s own will, I arched my back, tilting my neck to help him get some more access to my neck, letting out a small moan at the feeling. I felt liquid pool between my legs as we continued. “Cart
ALVIRA’S POVThe ride home was in a comfortable silence. We listened to the quiet music that streamed from the speakers and would randomly comment on random things or people that we would come across. It felt like this was the norm between us and it made me feel more relaxed and sure about my decision. I had always admired how patient he always was with me, not trying to force his decisions or opinions on me and carefully showing me how things are done without making me feel like a fool. We finally got to the house. Carter packed in a spot that was closest to the front door so we would not have to walk a long way to get the items we bought. I knew we had gotten a lot but arranging them to carry up to the apartment and I could not help but gasp at the number of bags from stores I was sure I had never known of their existence until today. “Wow, these are quite the handful, Carter. Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate everything you do for me.” I said. I felt my eyes begin
ALVIRA’S POVWe walked over to the car and Carter, like a true gentleman, opened my door for me. I smiled and whispered a low thank you before he went on to close the door and walked over to his side of the car and got in. I felt chills run down my spine at the thought of what we were about to do next. This was the first time I had willingly wanted to be with a man, let alone go all the way to kissing him. The nerves wracked through my body, and I held my hands together as I looked down at them fiddling with each other on my laps.Carter, as usual, must have noticed it because the next thing I felt were his hands wrapping over mine on my laps. I looked up to look up at him, uncertainty clearly written in my eyes as I stared into his clear eyes. I did not bother hiding my fears from him because I knew that either way, he was going to figure it out like he always did. It was as if I was an open book to him and reading me was like reading the alphabet.“You know, if you are not comfo
ALVIRA’S POVWe ended up going round the mall and entering every other store. And with each store we entered, Carter made sure to get something, no matter how small and would make the lady, who we had come to know as Haley, go all the way to the car to drop it and come back to meet us. I found it very funny how he was trying so hard to make her pay for what she did to me. It warmed my heart to see him worry about me to the point of fighting for me. He would occasionally give her the stink eye while she was not looking, he would randomly call out to her and have her run silly errands for us. He made her our little errand girl, making her go for every little type of errand, from picking a pair of slippers on the other side of the aisle or going to the next store to pick up something he saw and randomly thought of getting. At some points, I had to make him stop and not give in to the urge to send her on some wild goose chase. It was fun to watch him be petty, although at some point I
ALVIRA’S POV“I want you to fire her.”I let out a gasp as the sales woman immediately got on her knees and began to frantically beg. She crawled to where Carter and I stood and continued begging.“I beg you, Mr. Blane, please do not do this to me. This job is all I have, if I lose it, I would be left to roam the streets. I promise you that this will never repeat itself. Just please, please, spare me this one time. Please.” she cried, but Carter would have nothing to do with her. He sneered at her as he used his leg to fling her hand off of him.“You should have thought of that before you decided to humiliate my woman.” he sneered at her. I felt a pang in my heart as I watched her. Of course, she was in the wrong for making the wrong assumptions on me but it did not get to the point where she would have to lose her job just because of a simple misunderstanding. It felt wrong. But Carter seemed to have made up his mind, ignoring the looks from people around and the pleadings of the
ALVIRA’S POVI could not even begin to imagine what would have happened if Carter had not come to my rescue. I still can not get over how some people can just be so mean and condescending and just so quick to jump to conclusions. I know that it was way out of my account balance to purchase the bracelet and I really was not going to get it. I had only wanted to show him and get the price from the guy at the reception and see if I could get a discount or installment payment plan.With all that he had gotten for me today, getting him something, no matter how little, was the best I could do to appreciate him for all he did and has been doing. He had been a ray of morning light ever since he had come into my life, always swooping in like my knight in shining armor to save the day. Conversations with him flowed freely and I always looked forward to spending time with him.I had only picked up the bracelet to examine it and take it over to him just to get his opinion on it when the crazy
CARTER’S POVRage flowed through my veins as I watched the scene unfold in front of everyone. The look on Alvira’s face showed that she was so close to tears and that she was getting really embarrassed by the attention she was suddenly getting. I watched her lips tremble as the crowd gathered, her eyes darting left and right as she frantically tried to get away from the shop attendant’s vice grip to no avail. I could see that she was struggling to keep her cool and not cry her eyes out. “Please, let me go. I promise you, I didn’t not steal anything. I would never. I just wanted to look at it.” She pleaded with the lady. “Oh, just shut up, you cheap and worthless scum. I have seen lots of your type come in here and go. You try to make up stories about how you just wanted to look at it when in truth, you are really here to steal.” She scoffed. “I mean, look at you, you clearly can not afford even the cheapest item in this store and you expect me to believe any word that comes out of
