RENEE“I’m worried, Nicole.” Nicole raised her brows and drew her gaze away from the TV screen. “Huh? “What about?” Pacing in front of my best friend, I ran my hand through my strawberry blonde hair, tugging at it to relieve some of my anxiety. I shook my head and stared at the floor, letting out a shaky laugh. “Who about, rather. It’s Robert. I’m worried about him.”“Oh.” Nicole’s face softened, and she leaned forward from the couch she was sitting on, resting her elbows on her knees and clasping her hands together.Her lips pursed as she watched me pace, and I could see her perplexity and concern deep in her chestnut-brown eyes.“What’s wrong? Talk to me.” With a groan, I stopped and plopped my ass on the same couch as her. Wrapping my arms around myself for comfort, I stared into space, attempting to gather my thoughts. “It’s been four days since I left his suite, and we haven’t seen each other since. I haven’t heard from him. No calls. No texts. No presents.”“Okay, so?” “Th
ROBERTStepping inside my suite, a distinct aroma wafted through the air, instantly alerting me that something was amiss. I frowned and closed my eyes in the dim light, attempting to figure out what this was. I sniffed deeply, my nose twitching, and finally, it picked up on a hint of something spicy. The aroma seemed vaguely familiar, but not entirely, as I couldn’t place it. It smelled exotic and pleasant, making me wonder what it was.As the suite’s electric door shut behind me with a ding, my eyes snapped open, and my heart thumped faster as the faint, but tantalizing smell intensified. Kicking off my shoes, my hands fumbled for the nearest light switch on the wall, and I bit back a gasp as the overhead lights turned on.“Holy fuck!” My fingers trembled over the switch as I gaped at the sight before me. A trail of roses dotted the suite’s floor, each trailing a different color as it fell from a ceiling light like an abstract art piece, their brilliant colors catching my eye. E
RENEEI couldn’t sleep. Or, I tried not to. Not with Robert—this handsome hunk of a man—next to me in bed. I was scared that if I closed my eyes, he’d vanish, and everything that'd transpired tonight would be a figment of my imagination. I didn’t want that, so I kept my eyes open.With slumber seeming far away from me and my gaze fixed on the ceiling, the memories of earlier came flooding back with bittersweet intensity.My lips turned in a faint smile as I remembered Robert’s face when he saw me for the first time tonight. After giving him my heartfelt apologies, and we’d reconciled, Robert took me to the bed where he made love to me over and over again until I was a trembling mess, and the multiple orgasms left me dazed, exhausted, and sore. Amidst our romantic interludes, he brought the dinner I’d prepared to bed, and we ate the lavish feast. Between meals and cuddles, he dropped tender kisses on my neck and shoulders, and we talked about everything and nothing. Later on, Robe
'True evil is more attractive than anything else. But evil has many forms, and one of its most lethal outcomes is self-destruction.' John Clare. ~•~AMANDAEcstasy. Not the feeling. The taste. It shook me to my core. I lose track of time as I get lost in the experience of the heady narcotic I took earlier, paired with the sensation of this young man vigorously fucking me. He was so good to me, and despite his roughness, I didn't want him to stop. With every single thrust, he fucked me with a fervor unlike anything I'd experienced in a long time. While I moaned halfheartedly, my entire body shook with pleasure."Do you want me to come inside you? Nut in you, and..." Tyson, the stranger, started to mutter against my neck, but I didn't let him finish. Instead, I drew his face closer and took his lips in mine. While I moaned loudly, he accelerated, moving up and down and pumping his hips quicker and harder. Damn! I was spiraling out of control, not wanting this to end. His huge han
ROBERT"Where are you taking me?" Renee asked for the millionth time since I picked her up from her apartment building. "It's a surprise, love." I told her with a sly grin, sneaking a brief glimpse at her in my car's passenger seat. Sporting a ponytail, Renee was dressed in a comfy pair of trousers, a tank top, and tennis shoes with holes along the borders and laces that could easily be ripped off. She looked adorable. Wrinkled brows accented her rosy skin and pink cheeks as she pouted at me. “You're being secretive, Robert. You know how much I despise that." "Secretive?" I repeated, and she nodded. "Darling, I'm not keeping anything from you.""Of course you are. If you weren't, you'd have told me everything about your talk with Nicole when you came to pick me up." Her voice dropped an octave, becoming more accusatory, and I couldn't stop the laughter bubbling out of my chest.I reached over the center console and took her hand in mine, bringing her knuckles to my lips and kissin
RENEE"…We've reached our destination." Robert spoke up, mischief dancing in his eyes as he glanced at me.The Jeep accelerated slightly before coming to a halt in front of large, automated gates, opening of their own accord. As we were scanned by a state of the art security system, a narrow red light flashed over us, accompanied by a peculiar whirring sound from the back of the car. Then everything went quiet. The car crept forward, but slowly, until I could see what lay ahead of us, and my jaw dropped in surprise. "What is this place?" I muttered, my gaze riveted on the massive structure beyond the gate. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen.The architecture itself appeared to be formed of an alloyed metal and glistened, looking like something out of a sci-fi film. I took a look around. Men in full black uniforms flanked the entrance door of the enormous facility. Guns slung about their waists. Some wore earpieces and held walkie-talkies over their mouths. They all appeared serio
RENEEI awoke with a start, disoriented and unsure of my surroundings. The last thing I remembered was warm, masculine hands gently stroking my hair until I fell asleep. And then it all came rushing back—the surprise trip and the thrilling ride to Robert's cabin in Aspen, as I'd later discovered.Last night was a blur, but I remembered the incredible ride. I got to just be with Robert, and small talk with the love of my life. A cheesy grin spread across my face at the memory. When we arrived at the luxury cabin, he showed me around briefly—saving the rest for morning, before taking me straight to the bedroom, where I fell asleep immediately. With the sun shining brightly through the windows and into my eyes, I stretched out my limbs, groaning as my joints popped. I whispered Robert's name and looked at his side of the bed. It was empty, and I blinked, perplexed. Last night, I distinctly remembered Robert caressing my brow and kissing my forehead before lying beside me. He'd wrapped
ROBERT Renee's mouth gaped open as she stood, silently staring at me, astonished. Her dark eyes were filled with shock and dismay. It tore my heart apart. I resisted the urge to curse. Silence descended on the room like a frigid fog. It was dense with tension—the kind that’d be difficult to break from. This was not how I’d envisioned our evening. Not even close. Work had been stressful, but I still wanted to spend quality time with her when she returned from her day out. I was excited to make dinner plans, walk around the cabin while she told me about her day, and then have a calm, relaxed night watching vintage movies in the chalet's lounge. Not this!The uncomfortable silence dragged on for far too long as I waited for her to say something—anything. I chastised myself for even telling her about the blackmail. I shouldn’t have said a word. I should’ve lied or changed the subject. When she spoke, she broke me. “No more secrets, Robert. You promised, and you keep your promise. So d
