KEIRA’s POV "I'll drive Papa," I suggested as we walked down the driveway.Papa was about to protest, but he shrugged and rummaged into his pocket for his keys."Alright,"I stepped towards the car door and tried to pull the door open, but it refused to budge."Oh, the car doors are locked. Let me," Papa offered and walked over to where I stood.He stood beside me, his arms brushing against my injured arm through the wooly sweater. I winced and jolted back in pain. Papa turned to me, his eyes filled with shock."What happened?" He questioned."Oh, i-it is nothing," I stuttered."Are you sure?"I nodded, and thankfully, he did not press further.As I settled in the driver's seat of Papa's car, my heart still thumped in my chest as I waited for him to sit beside me. I sighed as I pulled out of the driveway and onto the main road, with Papa sitting quietly beside me. He looked so frail and sickly, and I was glad he had finally agreed to go for a full-body check-up after much persuasion.
CLINT’s POVI sat at my desk, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of Keira. She had been going through a rough time lately with all the threats her stepbrother, Calvin, had sent her way. He tried to scare and intimidate her, but his motive was unclear. His tactics were clearly working, as Keira was always anxious and stressed out, and by God, I hated seeing her like this.What could I do to help her? As her therapist, I could ease her stress but not remove it altogether. I wished that I could shoulder all the burden she was carrying on her shoulders.I picked up the freshly brewed cup of coffee from my desk and took a sip, my mind delving deeper into my thoughts.My receiver rang, interrupting my reverie as I was lost in thought.I pressed the button, and a feminine voice came from the speakers."Mr. Homer, Mr. Murray is here to see you. Do I let him in?"My mind and time had been fully occupied with Keira that I had forgotten the meeting I had scheduled with James. I let out an exasper
KEIRA’s POVWhen Clint invited me to his place, I jumped at the opportunity. We were both occupied with work and school and barely had time for each other. I walked into Clint's house, removed my coat, and placed it on the rack."Hey, why don't we eat dinner? I have this new recipe I would like to try. I hope you have enough groceries because-"Clint's large, bulky arms wrapped around my waist, and I felt my back rest against his steely chest."We can talk about food later. What I want to do right now," He whispered into my ear, "is to have you all to myself."His hot breath against my skin was already driving me mad. I spun around and wrapped my arms around his neck. Our eyes met, and the heat between our bodies began to build up."Then, I will serve myself on a platter, just for you," I cooed.A low, hungry growl escaped his lips, and before I could blink, his lips crashed on mine. He hungrily laced his tongue with mine, and his wet, liquid kiss drove my mind into a maelstrom.His
CLINT’s POVMy eyes cracked open as I felt the sun's warmth on my skin. My eyes registered the ceiling first until I slowly turned to my side and saw Keira sleeping soundly beside me. Her hair was sprawled on the pillow, and her face looked peaceful. I could not help but stare at her momentarily, admiring her beauty.Keira was stunningly beautiful, with a face that could launch a thousand ships. Her lips were plump and pink, and I loved the way they looked when she smiled. But what really caught my attention was her body. She was curvy in all the right places, and her skin looked smooth and soft.Since it was the weekend, I planned to take Keira to the park on a surprise date. After a long week of unending problems, I wanted Keira to relax and let loose.I slowly reached out to trace the outline of her face, feeling the warmth of her skin against my fingertips. She stirred a little, her eyes sliding slowly."Mmm, Clint?" She mumbled."Good morning, sleepy head," I said gently, a smile
KEIRA’s POVI slammed the door shut behind me, feeling a sense of regret wash over me. Clint's invitation was tempting, and I would have jumped at it before he even asked, but my promise to Natasha kept ringing in my head.I was barely at home most of the time, and she had asked that we eat dinner together, seeing as it had been a long time since we had done that. I let out a sigh and removed my bag from my shoulder.As I approached the living room, I heard Natasha's voice booming from the living room."Oh yeah! Do not forget to take some pictures and bring some souvenirs back with you," she giggled.She sounded rather giddy. Who on earth was she talking to? Had she gotten a boyfriend or something?"Alright, I will talk to you later, Brendon."My heart skipped a beat. Brendon? Was she talking to Brendon?I walked into the living room, and Natasha paused. She had been roaming in front of the couch with a phone to her ear. The bright smile on her face died down, and the phone slid down
KEIRA’s POV"Hey, are you asleep already? I really miss you right now."I read the text repeatedly, my cheeks flaming hot as I flushed. It was a text from Clint that sparked a fire in my heart. Absent-mindedly, I took off my apron and gloves.Picking up my phone and headed up to my room. I shut the door behind me immediately and flopped down on the bed. My fingers began clicking away as I texted back."What a coincidence; I miss you too." I texted back.A few seconds later, Clint texted back."I am glad. I wish you could have followed me back to my place, though.""Hmm, why?""Is that not obvious? I wanted to ravish your body. You are the only thought that has occupied my mind."I bit my lips as a surge of desire ran through me."Do you...still feel that way right now?" I texted.The chat went dead for a few minutes until Clint's message popped up on my screen."Definitely, I crave you right now,"I swallowed hard and began to type. "Me too."Clint did not text back for minutes, and i
KEIRA’s POV As I walked into Clint's office, I felt excitement creeping up my spine. I could not shake off the atrocious things we had said and did yesterday. My eyes found Clint, who was nose deep in paperwork as he sat behind his desk. His eyes moved to me, and I felt my heart skip a million beats.I took a seat on the couch. Today just felt noticeably different, and I knew why."Hey Keira, how is it going?" Clint asked with a warm smile.He looked so comfortable sitting there. Was I the only one reliving the memories of last night? Did it affect only me? The thought made me a little sad. I had expected him to fret about it, just like I did. "I am alright, I guess," I replied and blushed."So, how has life been treating you lately?" he asked, getting straight to the point.I let out a sigh and decided to push those thoughts aside. It was time for therapy."I don't know. It's just been stressful. I still feel anxious about taking over my father's company. It is a huge responsibil
KEIRA’s POVFear. I could feel the utter fear consume my entire being. Face to face with me was a man I had never expected to see. I was frozen, petrified, unable to speak or move. I still remembered the outline of his face like it was yesterday. His jet-black was slicked back, complimenting his golden brown eyes. He looked older now, from the last time I had seen him. He had an overgrown, scruffy beard on his chin now. As I kept my gaze on him, my heart pounded in my chest, and my palms were sweaty. I felt sick to my stomach, and I could barely breathe. I wished the earth would open up and swallow me this instant.What was Calvin doing here? It felt like I was dreaming as I stared at my stepbrother. "How do you do, Keira?" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.How could he ask me that question when he knew very well how I have been doing?I could feel the anger and fear rising inside me, but I tried my best to remain calm. "What do you want, Calvin?" I asked, my voice shakin
