Sandy’s POVFor the umpteenth time that night, I checked my phone for time with a heavy heart. Anthony had not returned and it was close to two in the morning. I could barely sleep or sit or lay at a spot. All I thought about was what he was up to so late at night and why he hadn’t called me. It was unlike him and I purposely did not want to over think anything, especially in the direction of him and Ida. But something in my guts made me believe he was away from the room because of her and the more I put my mind to it, the more I felt like I was going to implode.When the time on my phone swapped from 1:59 to 2 am, I sighed and went to the bed. My body was tired but my mind was too active. I sat on the bed and stared at the door for a while before looking down at the phone in my hand. I was tempted to call him but I did not trust myself to stay calm without being moved by my emotions, especially the hurt I was feeling.I shook my head and laid down on the bed. I stared at a random spo
Sandy’s POVThe four of us sat around a small round table at the small restaurant Trent had told me about. They served a fairly good food, suitable for their rich lifestyle. Ever since we arrived, I had lost my appetite and only put a few spoons of food into my mouth while Ida chatted away with Trent and Anthony about work. It was almost as if I was at a business luncheon with my boss, sitting quietly like the obedient assistant that I was. Anthony only gave me a few glances and that was only when we ordered and when the food came. Ida was all up in his face, getting his attention and making him respond to her. I wanted to believe that she was so invested in him that he barely had time for me. I knew Anthony well enough but these past few hours have been quite confusing for me.“Sandy?”At the sound of Trent’s voice, I raised my bowed head and made eye contact with him. He smiled and looked at my plate before looking back at me.“Why aren’t you eating?”The table became quiet and I di
Sandy’s POVI looked from one person to the next, trying to decipher what Ida had just said. Even Anthony had barely said anything or moved from the sink, and it was making me very angry. Ignoring me was different but not telling me about this as someone who was his best friend and fake partner, that he lives with pissed me off. I was getting tired of this treatment. Just when I was about to march my way to him, Ida got down from the counter and approached me.“I hope you don’t have problems with this. You see, I was the one who asked, and he didn’t want to agree at first, but I told him it is just for a few days. The paper for my apartment is already prepped.”I looked past her to glare at Anthony. My heart was burning from the anger I was feeling. I scoffed and looked to the side. I squeezed my eyes shut for some seconds before nodding my had in agreement.“I am fine with it since my opinion doesn’t count. And you,” I pointed at Anthony. “Mr. Hogan, we need to talk.”I did not wait
Chapter’s Soundtrack: Skin by Sabrina CarpenterSandy’s POVI was stunned to the bones at what he had said. I stared at him, trying to get a hint of joke from his appearance but there wasn’t. The most part was how he had said such to the hearing of Anthony and his secretary. It made my cheeks flame up from embarrassment and from the strong meaning behind those words. My heart fluttered a bit just from hearing him speak and when he came closer, I swallowed. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Anthony move as if he wanted to approach us, but Ida popped out of nowhere and held his arm. I sighed and focused on Trent who was still looking me in the eyes. He took my hand and pulled me into my office with him. He shut the door and leaned on it before looking at me with a smile on his face." Trent,” I said, being loss of words.He chuckled. “Ignore what I said out there. I wanted to piss the fuck out of him.”I blinked and craned my head sideways in confusion. I furrowed my eyebrows, and he w
Anthony’s POVI felt like a loser. A fool at most as I watched my best fucking friend drive out of the courtyard from my office window. My heart tugged as I stared at the back lights of her car and even after her car disappeared around the corner, I continued to stare at the gate, wishing I could change everything that had happened ever since Ida showed up. Just thinking about made me feel even more restless and helpless.I sighed and walked away from the window then stopped when I heard the door of my office open. I gritted my teeth at the sight of Ida. She approached me with a sad look on her face. I was not in the mood to ask questions about it. I turned away and crossed the other side of the room to the table that held all my drinks. I picked up a glass and grabbed a bottle of whiskey.“I have been keeping quiet about her, but I don’t think she likes me. It’s good that you made her leave. She is just too much. How dare she push me because she can’t get over the fact that you no lo
Sandy’s POVIt had been an hour since I saw Anthony at my doorstep, and I was still angry just at the sight of him. The image of him staring at me like I did something bad to Ida still flashed in my head. It still hurt that he would easily think that I could do such a thing to someone. No doubt, I was jealous but how dare he think I was violent because of my feelings and our friendship.I turned on my bed to get a more comfortable position as sleep seemed to be far from me. I stared at the ceiling through the darkness of the room and thought back to how he had been looking when he was here. He looked exhausted with baggy eyes and rough hair. He barely looked like the energetic man I knew and at some point, I had felt the urge to hear him out but I didn’t want to get back on my word.With a sigh, I shut my eyes and forced sleep to come. I needed to sleep to prepare myself for what was to come tomorrow at work. When I felt the weight of sleep on me, I relaxed, welcoming more of it.It w
Sandy’s POVAnthony stayed quiet for some seconds after dropping such a hard statement. A part if me was shocked at the revelation but the other part of me was not surprised as I remembered what one of his uncles said to me when we were in Seoul. What got me more shocked was the fact that Anthony did not just tell me about it. It made me feel like he was already accepting their demands when he said nothing to me about this.“I’m sorry for not telling you," he said, as if reading my thoughts. “I was panicking. I didn’t know how to tell you and how you would react especially knowing how much you were ready to help me get my parents off my back.”I sat upright and rubbed the rest of the tiredness and sleep off my face. This was getting serious the more I thought about it. It made me think of what his parents said about this. If they actually accepted Ida over me after his mom in particular gushed over us. It left a pang in my heart.“Get my phone from the side table,” he said, and I glan
Sandy’s POVNone of them said anything ever since I forced them into the house. I was angry. So angry I could punch through a wall. Ida was looking guilty while the man, Dean, was looking confused and sad. I wanted a word from any of them, but both their lips were sealed shut.“Can you two say something?” I asked in a low voice, which was far from how I was raging inside of me. I looked at Ida and saw her fiddling with her fingers.“I… Sandy.” She puffed her cheeks and exhaled hard. “First of all, sorry.”I raised an eyebrow at the apology. She was looking tense and playing with her fingers while Dean side eyed her. I sighed and leaned forward, hands on knees and eyes narrowed. I needed answers.“Can one of you just speak up?” I demanded in an impatient voice.“Ida and I are married.”My back straightened at that. They are married?“What did you just say?”Ida rose from her seat and bowed her head.“Please, don’t tell anyone about this.”Angrily, I stood to my feet, glaring at them wi
Sandy’s POVOur honeymoon was coming to an end. After spending days, having the time of our lives, we were going back to reality, at least, that was what my brain termed it as. What Anthony and I had here was simply a fantasy. Everything that had gone on since we arrived here was all because of responsibility and our new rule in the contract binding our new lives.Once we get back, we would go back to what took most of our time. Anthony was a workaholic; he was probably going to bury himself in work while I did the same. I was nervous and worried about how our sexual relationship was going to turn out. It was a different thing when we were here and would be something that involved clarity once we got back.I dropped the magazine I was staring at when Anthony walked into the room while on a call with someone. When I heard what the conversation was about, I rolled my eyes. Of course, he was back to working even when we were leaving the hotel tomorrow. Even I, his assistant, barely knew
Anthony’s POVI poured in everything I was feeling into the kiss while my hands touched every part of her body, yearning to feel her skin. My heart was ramming fast, my mind was haywire with so many emotions and my body was at the top of a high place, reveling in the sensation of having her, of feeling her body on mine.I pulled away from her lips and kissed her cheek then kissed my way to her jaw, then to her neck. I cupped her face and settled myself between her legs then propped my weight on my elbow before kissing her neck. I moaned at the taste of her skin and ran my tongue on her neck, which made her grind into my cock with a whimper. I smirked at the reaction and bit her flesh softly, nibbling at the skin.Sandy moaned even more and held the back of my head then gave me more access to her neck by tilting it. I gave her neck an open-mouthed kiss, kissing her flesh passionately as if it was her soft lips. I wanted to paint her skin with my marks, I wanted any man who saw her beau
Anthony’s POVI gulped hard when she suddenly straddled me on the bed. She pressed her hands to my chest and forced me to lay flat on my back then settled down on my cock, which stirred underneath the flaps of my robe. I could feel blood rushing to my cock and feel the familiar heat of horniness in my body as she smiled down at me, looking like a sexy devil with bad thoughts in her head for me.Sandy placed her hands on both sides of my head and brought her face closer to mine. I couldn’t help but hold her waist and pull her closer to me then stare at her lips. I wanted to feel them on mine, to kiss them and make them one with mine. I was addicted to kissing those soft and sweet lips of hers so much that I could kiss them every second of my life without getting tired.“You want a kiss, pretty boy?” She asked and I nodded. “I can’t hear you.”Damn. She was trying to make me go crazy. This was not my sweet and innocent Sandy. The woman before me was a minx, she was a seductress, and I w
Anthony’s POVI was anticipating what Sandy was going to surprise me with. I was feeling impatient and wanted time to run by so fast. I was so eager to know what she had for me. I wanted to act like there wasn’t anything coming but my mind could not rest.I checked what the time was on my watch and cursed under my breath when I saw it was just five pm on the dot. One more hour to go. This felt like torture, and she was sitting across me like she had not said anything about surprising me. I watched her as she took a bite out of her fries while scrolling through her phone.What was she planning?I sighed and took a sip out of my glass of water then rose to my feet.“Where are you going?” She asked.“I gotta use the restroom. I’ll be right back,” I replied and smiled then walked away.A few minutes later, I arrived in the wing where the restroom was and just as I was about to walk into the men’s restroom, someone grabbed my arm, making me almost trip over my feet. I turned around and gla
Anthony’s POVI woke up to my alarm ringing, reminding me of the fact that my nap time was up. Which had been a good nap time because the last few days had been a good one for me. Which consisted of a good lack of sleep that came from being with my wife.I grabbed my phone and turned off the alarm then rolled onto my back and sighed. I stared at my reflection in the mirror on the ceiling and my mind immediately flashed to when I had Sandy on the bed, making her feel good under it. My head got filled with the memories of her thrashing under me, writhing in pleasure, crying out my name.The look on her face and the way her body would contort when she was in pleasure made me want to go mad with want for her. When she looked at me with those pretty blue eyes of hers and parted lips, it made my body high with lust. No woman had made me feel this way before and I felt bad for not having her sooner but at the same time, it would mean I was using her like other women, which was something she
Sandy’s POVAnthony was kidding. He couldn’t be serious with what he was saying to me. A new house?I scoffed. “You’re kidding, right?”He gave me an incredulous look before laughing softly.“Sandy, I am serious right now. Why would I joke about that?”Anthony moved to the side and sat down on a couch. I fully faced him with the key still in my hand. I waited for him to say something to me. I wanted him to elaborate more on what he was giving me. I didn’t want to believe I had imagined what he had said.“Anthony, there was no need for this. We already have a house, don’t we?” I said and sat down beside him on the couch.He shrugged and played with some of the petals of the flower bouquet he was holding while I waited for him to speak more on this. I was feeling impatient and funny from the gift. Buying a new house was an expensive thing to do and I didn’t care if it was a wedding gift, it was too much.Most importantly, how far did he spend to get it?“How much did you buy the house?”
Sandy’s POVMy hands were shaky as I stared at the picture. I could not believe what I was seeing. My heart was aching from pain, anger and jealousy the more I stared at every picture sent to me. My brain was trying to tell me the truth, forcing me to believe what was in the picture while my heart was doing otherwise, telling me it was all my imagination and that it was something else happening.Why the fuck was Anthony kissing a woman? On our wedding day. On the day we got married, he was in a lip lock with a woman that I could not recognize and from the angle and quality of the picture, this was obviously captured by a paparazzi.I locked the screen of my phone and marched out of the bathroom and moved around the house in my bathrobe, full of angry air. I looked around, hoping to find Anthony but he wasn’t anywhere in the suite. I needed answers from him. I needed to know why he was doing this to hims
Sandy’s POVI arched my body, rubbing my aching center against his cock that was resting on my lower abdomen. I could feel the weight of his cock and I wanted it in me. I wanted to be filled by it again. It didn’t help that he was kissing me like he was hungry and dying of thirst. He was devouring me with so much passion that my limbs went limp on the table.I moaned when his hand moved from my waist to my pussy which he cupped above my panty. I gasped in his mouth when he rubbed the palm of his hand on my covered pussy.“Already so wet for me. Such a needy pussy you’ve got, wifey,” he whispered and started peppering kisses from my cheeks to my neck where he sucked and nibbled. “Your tight pussy must be so soaked from me just kissing you.”I moaned at the way my pussy throbbed from his words then held the back of his head as he sucked on my neck more. I gasped as he grabbed my panty then ripped it hard, tearing it off me. He was so aggressive; it turned me on even more.“I need to fil
Sandy’s POVI blinked, shocked at his words. What was he trying to say to me? My heart hammered faster as I tried to decode what he meant even though I understood what he was trying to say. I was just scared that I had misinterpreted his words or something.“Anthony… I don’t understand,” I said and swallowed.Anthony sighed and took a step backward. He rubbed his face then stood sideways so he was facing away from me.“What I am trying to say is I want us to keep having sex,” he said and faced me. “We are going to be married to each other for who knows how long. We’ve had sex and I was wondering if it would be okay to make each other our sex partner… I… Sandy, being with you in that way feels so good. I feel complete when we have sex. I know it’s like us being friends with benefits but… Argh! Never mind, it sounds so weird.”I watched him look restless while smiling to myself. Anthony was asking that we had sex outside of our agreement of baby making. It has always been one of my drea
