🔹️🔹️Crystal Russell🔹️🔹️

Waking up in the morning has always been painful to me, but it was nothing compared to the literal pain that I felt today. My head throbbed as if there was a hammer being pounded inside. Even a small task like opening my eyes felt like carrying tons of weight on my head.

After a lot of groaning and grunting, when I finally opened my eyes, everything was white.

Had I really been run over by a truck and reached heaven?

I shut my eyes hard and again when I opened them my vision was a lot better. I looked to my left to see the large windows that opened up to the beach view and then to my right at the empty side of the bed.

I remember being used to waking up with someone beside me. It took me some time to remember I have a husband as that 'someone'.

As if the devil was waiting for me to think about him, the door of the room was kicked open and-

Wow.

My mouth dried up when Adrien– shirtless Adrien came inside with a tray in hand. It wasn't the first time I had se

    🔹️🔹️Crystal Russell🔹️🔹️"I think I lo- Aah"The large splash of water on us made me shrill in between my confession. When I looked back up, it was a jet ski that a man had rode beside us. I was thrilled as I had an urge to try it out myself. Reading my face, Adrien said, "Do you want to ride it?"I nodded rapidly but then frowned. "But I don't know how to.""I do." He said."Really? Can you ride that?" He nodded with an amused smile as I shrieked in excitement. We went to the station where they were renting the jet ski. When we finally had it to ourselves, Adrien climbed on it first, followed by me behind him."Hold tight." He said and I obliged, wrapping my hands around his torso and resting my chin against his shoulder.It had to be the best experience of my life. Adrien rode the jet ski pretty fast, which scared me at first but a minute later, I couldn't stop myself from spreading my arms and enjoying the drops of water and the wind hitting my face. Few minutes later, Adrien in

    🔹️🔹️Crystal Russell🔹️🔹️I undid his blindfold and threw the red ribbon away and Adrien scowled at the sudden light. Adjusting to it a while later, his eyes moved around the yacht then landed on me."It was you?" He asked, his jaw hanging low. "It was you who got me kidnapped?" I giggled and nodded my head at him as he threw his head back in disbelief. I got off his back and untied his hands and legs, then sat back on his lap, circling my hands around his neck."So? Did you like my surprise?" I asked, grinning. His hands came around me and he sighed. "It definitely did not start the way I expected it to be but... I love this." He said looking around. "And this." His eyes scanned me as I was seated on him, lingering on my exposed leg. I leaned in and pressed a quick kiss on his lips before getting up and pulling him along with me."Come on. There's a lot more that you'll love."I took him further inside, revealing the romantic set up to him. The yacht was nothing less than a boat-ho

    🔹️🔹️Crystal Russell🔹️🔹️Our mouths clashed with roughness and need, biting and sucking on each other's lips. His tongue plunged into my mouth and I moaned, curling my fingers in his hair. Our bodies were still flushed together and when I began to feel a hardness against my abdomen I involuntarily grinded my hips against his. As a response to my action, Adrien wildly tugged my hair, making my neck crane upwards and his mouth went down to my neck. My eyes rolled back in pleasure as his hot tongue and lips licked and nibbled on my sensitive skin. I bit my lower lip to muffle the moans threatening to escape my mouth but as if Adrien didn't want that, he bit my skin and I gave in. This time it was Adrien who shifted his hips, creating a friction between us and I was a moaning mess while some deep groans left his throat. My hands slid under his coat and I shrugged it off his shoulders, running my hands on his clothed muscles.I gasped when my feet were lifted off the ground and I was

    🔹️🔹️Crystal Russell🔹️🔹️"Welcome home!" We were greeted by Lily with a wide smile and a hug as we came back home from Bali. Martin followed us inside and kept our luggage in our room and took his leave while Lily was so excited to hear what happened in Bali. She asked us to freshen up and get some rest while she prepared the lunch. As I entered the room, my hands flew in the air and I stretched my body before Adrien's arms slid around my stomach and I rested my back against his body. "I missed home." I mumbled lazily. "Me too." Adrien said and pressed a kiss on my jaw, making me smile. "Do you want to shower first or should I?" I asked him, angling my neck to look at him. He ducked his head and nibbed on my neck, making me inhale a sharp breath. "Or we could save time and water and shower together." My eyes widened at that and I shrugged him away from me. "Not happening." I said and tried moving away but he held my wrist in a strong grip. "Oh, Come on, Crys." Adrien smirked.

    🔹️🔹️Crystal Russell🔹️🔹️Two Months LaterAs I came out of the bathroom in a robe, while wiping my wet hair with a towel, My eyes fell on Adrien's sleeping figure. He laid on his chest with the muscles of his bare back relaxed for once. A smile cherished my face watching him sleep with his mouth open like a little baby.I leaned further, hovering him, making the droplets of water from my hair fall on his face. When I brushed back his hair with my fingers, he squinted his eyes and slowly opened them."Good Morning." Watching me grin at him, a sleepy smile settled on his face before he grabbed my waist and rolled over making me fall on the bed with him on top of me. "Morning." He rasped in his bed voice that rose goosebumps on my skin. He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss before leaving for the bathroom. Meanwhile, I dressed up lazily in a sundress.Few minutes later, after Adrien had bathed and dressed up, he came up to me with his tie."I'm sorry that I have to go to work on this

    🔹️🔹️Adrien Russell🔹️🔹️Four Years LaterI stared at Crystal who moved around the large hall with her notepad in hand. It was five in the evening and nineteen hours since we fought last night. And the entire day, she had been avoiding me.I admit it was my fault but I certainly wasn't being careless or ignorant like she had blamed me to be. This day was as important and special to me as it was to her. I looked around the beautifully decorated hall. Balloons, lights and flowers decorated the high walls. Heaps of gifts were kept in a corner and the employees of Mosaic Events rushed to make the arrangements.It would be a lie if I said that I wasn't disappointed in myself when I realized that I wasn't exactly any sort of help while Crystal had arranged every nook and corner. I had one job. And I failed.I watched my wife as she suddenly stopped on her track and scrunched her face, as if in pain. I was already on my way towards her to check on her when she slipped her fuck me heels out

    Hi, guys! We've successfully wrapped up Contract Bound. I have a book I've been working on and I will be posting the chapters. If you like it, I'll post the complete thing.Lazily taming my unruly, black curls, I walked downstairs and toward the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. I scratched my cheek and yawned as waking up after the weekends is one of the most arduous tasks ever. After a few minutes of preparing my daily dose of caffeine, I began sipping on it and switched on my laptop like usual to check my emails. I was checking them a lot lately because I'd given interviews at some of the well known advertising agencies in the past few weeks. Although it got disappointing every time I was greeted by the spam emails. The companies where I'd sent in my CV didn't revert me back but that didn't stop me from having high hopes. Traversing my eyes over the screen, I almost choked on my coffee as I glanced at one of the emails' subject line which read 'Acceptance Letter from ZAE I

    A month later As I entered the gargantuan building of my new workplace, I couldn’t help but be in awe at the cornucopia of the dedicated employees moving about with an air of austerity, the sounds of orders and phone calls reverberating through the walls and the intricately designed infrastructure making me wonder of the hard working architects and their men. The lobby was filling In with people of all ages as it was the checking-in time. I followed my way toward the advertising department with the help of the map handed to me by the receptionist across the entry gate. After cruising left and right and taking an elevator ride, I was finally on the correct floor. Patting my curls and the invisible creases on my shirt and pants, I took a deep breath in and headed inside my designated department. I was in an overwrought state because it was my first time looking at such a crowded workplace. I was instantly filled with the excitement to work here. Looking at their speed to get thi

    A/N: Hi, guys. Thanks for coming this far. I hope you enjoyed the ride. If you're interested in reading more of my works, please do well to vote and comment. I'd love to hear from every one of you. Xoxo.It took me about twenty minutes to finally reach his place. However, I started gawking at the absolute mansion as soon as my eyes fell on it. The entire ride here was pin drop silent because Skye was dozing off and only his light snores filled in the otherwise quiet car.It took me another few minutes to let his security guard know that I wasn't a danger. It was then they let me in. His mansion's lights were off and I took it as a sign that he lives alone. I was thankful though that the lamps were lit on the main driveway.After inquiring with one of the guards, he pointed me to the backside of the house. I followed his instructions and there was a different stone driveway that led behind his huge house. There were pretty flowers and shrubs adorning on both sides. Before I knew it, I

    When Skye consumed one too many drinks the moment my friends called me out on the dance floor, meaning when I wasn't noticing, he got a little too much tipsy. Somehow he had found himself on the dance floor and toward me. My friends were shocked beyond imagination to not only see him coming toward us but also when they saw the kind, professional and dapper man not like that anymore. He was wobbling on his two legs with his hair sticking out in all directions and a drunk smile plastered on his face. Even then, he still managed to look handsome and his boyish persona was coming out. Just like it did in the park. Like he was free and I couldn't help but wonder what really has been bothering him. What's so hard to show and so easy to live behind a facade? Soon enough, Skye stood directly in front of me and I saw Shivaay scramming everyone away from us. He's a sweetheart for not telling anyone about my secret feelings for Skye. I blinked my eyes at Skye because he was giving me an inno

    All the blood drained from her face and she stepped back, looking ready to dart off in some direction. I tried so hard to not burst out laughing and blow up my cover. Skye, on the other hand, had a conspiratorial smile playing on his lips so I just raised an eyebrow at him.I am saving you here, buddy. Oh, and now he decides to cut out his indifferent act. Respect, I thought sarcastically."I-I... Are - are y-you arresting... me?" She stammered, pointing her manicured finger toward herself."Oh, yes." I nodded my head grimly and changed my stance to that of an inspector."O-on what charges?" She gulped and I really wanted to laugh at her so bad while patting her shoulders. God, was she so gullible."Shouldn't you be knowing that?" I glared sternly and Skye covered up his laugh with a cough. But the girl didn't pay any heed to him.It was almost as if a switch went over in her demeanor because there was a hard glint in her gaze and I almost had the urge to flee the scene when she spoke

    "Can we make a pit stop before the club to change outta these clothes? It's too work-ey work-ey," Chelsea remarked, scrunching her nose and pointing her fingers toward her professional attire.We were all gathered in the parking garage of the ZAE Inc. building. "Who even cares about the outfit? I just wanna get wasted. This week was hella busty. I swear I can still smell unagreed disappointment oozing out of Ms. Maxwell's posture," Shivaay grumbled grouchily.Ms. Maxwell has been whooping everyone a lot as the whole campaign was almost ready before finally executing it. That woman must have invented something that surpassed even the term - perfection."You mean shark," Keith corrected with a scoff."Hey, hey," I interjected, trying to calm down their dark faces. "I know that we've all had a hard week but... we could make our weekend better, right?" I spoke in a consoling manner."Yeah.""Right. You're right.""Mm-hmm."All of them echoed in unison. "So, c'mon. Chop chop." I clapped my

    It was like a bucket of ice cold water was thrown on him. A realization hit me and I smirked slightly because I knew the reason for his hostility. Someone's scared and I might just have the leverage.I started drumming my fingers on the table and it seemed to have brought them out of their concentrated reactions."H-hi... Em-Emika. I mean, Emika... yes," Chelsea stammered, sighing and waving at her comically."Emika, hey!" Keith exclaimed kindly but there was a tinge of wariness in his voice.I expected Shivaay to utter his response but he just stared at his lunch quietly, not even daring to look up. I swear he needed a thwank on that stubborn head of his. I nudged him with my elbow harshly and he glared at me. I pointed toward Emika with my eyes, scowling and he exhaled a deep breath."Hello Emika," he grumbled and stressed onto her name and went back to gobbling down his food. She smiled which he didn't seem to notice but like usual she was chill."Why aren't you saying anything?" C

    I was going through the worst overweening emotions. Out of all, anger, annoyance and hurt were bubbling over on the verge of me having a breakdown.All the events of yesterday swirled through my mind until I reached my workplace. Once I got into my character which my work station gave me, I forgot all about what I had witnessed across the bridge.I could have been and felt the same the whole day if it weren't for Skye Williams himself. It was an hour or so before noon when I made my way to the coffee room. However, as I exited, I saw him walking toward Ms. Maxwell's office.My face broke out into a greeting smile when I passed him but he didn't even give me a second glance. He looked right through me and yet acted as if he didn't recognize me. A foreign impassive look was indented on his face and my heart skipped a beat. It was the worst feeling ever.That's when everything came back rushing to me. The silhouette of a tall woman. Is that why he's giving me the cold shoulder? Pretendin

    After finishing our brunch and talking for some time, Skye's attention was pulled away by the obnoxious hollers coming from the football court park. He turned sideways, now facing the court with a vying anticipation for one of the two teams. His hands twitched as if he wanted to change the strategy or something while his lips were pressed tightly against his teeth. Knowing that he's busy and I couldn't retain his attention to look at me even if I wanted to, I went back to reading my book. I couldn't tell how much time had passed but I was startled when I heard another round of cheers and one clearly louder than the others. My wide eyes went toward Skye who was incessantly throwing his fists in the air with the biggest grin I've ever seen him sporting. Sure he smiled, laughed and chuckled but this huge smile lit up his entire face. There was not a single ounce of diffidence in his posture but rather a complete contrast to that right now. I couldn't help the awe in my own eyes. Whe

    At last it was the weekend that actually felt like one. Ever since the campaign was bustling full fledged, half the department was working on Sundays as well. Nobody including me really minded it but I didn't know that I needed a break so badly until today. Until I finally got it. 'Welcome to New York' was blasting in my headphones as I cycled on the streets of New York. A befitting song as I cruised around with a small smile on my face. Wanting to spend my day alone, I decided to go cycling around the neighborhood, read a book and have a nice picnic in a less crowded park, which is ironic in this city even on Sundays. After an hour of music, freedom and cycling, I made my pit stop in a park. Leaning my bike against an oak tree and taking out my brunch packet along with a small blanket from my bike's basket, I breathed in the fresh air. Once I was done placing everything, I sat down on the blanket and tightened my jacket around me. The cold and chilly air of October made me shiver

    The moment he drove away in his car, I laid down on the ground with my hands underneath my head. The ground was clean and spotless because it's cleaned daily for the shooting reasons. Even now, it had been swept neat by the cleaners after the wrapping up took place.As I was gazing at the almost empty sky, I felt a shadow looming over me. I tilted my head to the left to see Skye standing above me with a confused face."What are you still doing here?" His question wasn't rude but rather curious.I quickly sat up, dusting my arms and stomach. "Uh... nothing, just taking a breather, that's all," I answered.He sat down beside me, coiling his arms around his knees. I was shocked to say the least. I hadn't expected him to tag along in my 'lonesome party' to put it simply. "I hope you don't mind me sitting here but this does seem like fun. Like an actual breather," he muttered with a strained laugh."Nope, don't mind at all." When I looked at him I could tell that exhaustion was taking a to
