I groaned when his hand grasped the base of my neck to angle my face just the way he wanted so that he could deepen the kiss. The fine hairs on my back stood to their ends as fine shivers crawled through my skin.He held my waist and lifted me like I weighed nothing. The next thing I knew, I was already on his lap, straddling him. I cupped his face with both hands as I shoved my tongue inside his mouth. I wanted to taste him, to explore every corner of his mouth greedily. Rough but passionate.I sucked on his tongue making him groan like a wounded animal. The primal sound he made excited me more. I kept on kissing him as though my life depended on it until he decided to dominate it. He's like a ravenous predator feasting on its prey.All I could do was moan as he sucked and tugged my lips over and over again. My back arched when I felt his hand snaked inside my sweatshirt. He began tracing the curve of my waist while my fingers grabbed his hair, pulling him even closer.I threw my head
"Uhh," I let out a long moan of satisfaction as I felt myself shattered into a million pieces after that mind-blowing release.Vladimir didn't stop even though my whole body was already quivering from too much pleasure. He'd been worshipping my whole body for hours now as if he was trying to prove something.My whole body went limp after coming down from the high. The water splashed around us when I let my back slump on the edge of the jacuzzi. I was gasping, trying to catch my breath while he stared at me with those intense blue eyes.It took a while before I recovered from my latest orgasm but as soon as I did, I grinned at him. He frowned, looking confused all of a sudden. I pushed myself to move despite my limbs feeling like jello. I climbed on top of him, sliding my legs on each of his sides.I smiled seductively while looking straight into his eyes. I can't just lay here and let him do all the work. I want to return the favor. I want to pleasure him
"Aah!" I screamed so loud. What the hell is happening?! Why are these men firing at us?"Fuck it! Duck!" Vladimir cursed violently. I felt him push me down to the car's floor. I squealed and covered my ears with my hands. The shooting sounds are so loud! I curled up into a ball, making my body as small as possible while I hid behind the front seat.I don't know what is happening. My heart pounded more when I saw Vladimir raise the middle part of the backseat. It was a hidden compartment!My eyes widened when I saw him pull out a rifle! I gasped when I heard the gun click after he put in ammunition."V-vladimir," my voice quivered in fear."Do you know how to use a gun?" he suddenly asked when he looked at me.I shook my head frantically. How would I know that?!"Here," he shoved a small gun into my hands anyway."Wh-what..." I was so confused. My hands were trembling so badly, I couldn't even hold the weapon properly."Stay here," he told me before sliding out of the car. "Lock the f
I couldn't move. I just kept staring at the gruesome scene in front of me. My mind refused to process anything."Fuck! What are you doing here?!" Vladimir snapped, pulling me out of a trance. The men looked at me before looking at each other as if they were communicating through their eyes."Clean this up," he ordered his men before walking towards me. I wanted to run away from him but my knees were too weak. He grabbed my elbow, pulled me up from the floor, and dragged me upstairs."You..." I murmured. "You killed him...""You aren't supposed to see that," he hissed.I kept my mouth shut until we reached the bedroom where I slept. He pushed me inside and left me just like that. He didn't say anything. I thought he would explain what I saw but he didn't.My knees buckled when it sunk into my hazy brain. I had to sit on the bed or else my knees would give out.I tried to squeeze my eyes shut but the image was still so clear inside my head. What did I just witness? Was that real? Am I h
My husband is a freaking billionaire!"Woah!" I exclaimed.Who would have thought that that grumpy man was a fucking real estate mogul?He owns different commercial and residential buildings in New York and across the whole state, including the one where we live. And they are not just normal buildings, most of their properties are either high-end or luxury. All of those are under the corporation that he built himself. He is the major stockholder and the current CEO.I knew he was wealthy but never thought it was to this extent! Aside from that, he also owns a chain of hotels and restaurants in and out of the country. The more I read about him, the more I get confused with the scope of his wealth and power.I gasped when I saw an article about our wedding. It has our picture together during that day. It was a candid shot. He was looking at me intently while I was smiling for the camera.I pursed my lips while staring at it. From a stranger's point of view, they could easily be fooled t
Am I a nymphomaniac?The thought brought shivers down my spine. If Vladimir didn't call me again, I would've remained rooted to where I stood."I'm coming," I yelled. I had to force myself to follow him to the dining room despite my mind being in turmoil.Is it really possible? How come I'd only felt it now?Well, probably because you're not getting any action. A small voice inside my head whispered.Maybe. Back when I was in the ring, I would have at least one or two clients a night. That was how active I was. I suddenly wanted to crawl out of my skin, thinking of all the men who touched me.I am fucking dirty. Filthy.And now... I could be a nymphomaniac. How fucked up can it be?My head is spinning with a hundred questions while eating. I couldn't taste the food, even though I had asked Cora to prepare something special.“I enrolled you in an etiquette class, didn’t I?” he queried after a while, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Uhm, yeah,” I muttered confusedly with my mouth still fu
What the fuck did just happen?My jaw dropped as I watched his retreating back. I stayed motionless on the table, propped on my elbows for a while. The fire he started within me seemed to be doused with ice-cold water in an instant. I can't believe he did it to me again. I thought we were past this stage after the intimate moment we shared during our honeymoon. Then why are we back to square one?"Ugh," I groaned while pushing myself up. I snatched my top while looking at all the dishes scattered on the floor. I winced. Cora spent the whole afternoon preparing these meals. I felt bad because I was the one who requested them. And now they're wasted.Vladimir hastily pushed them aside in the heat of the moment. I sighed.What's with him, really? One moment he acts like he wants me just as much as I want him. Then the next, he will drop me like a hot potato!"He's acting like a tease!" I hissed while starting to clean up the mess we made. I better do something to divert my attention or
"Is there any other doctor?" Vladimir stared at the doctor with a dark expression looming on his face.I looked at him wondering what caused the sudden change in his mood. He glanced at my foot. My gaze hovered over it as well. The doctor is still holding my ankle looking confused.Wait. Is he... Jealous?'Or maybe he's just in character,' the voice inside my head quickly countered. Well, that's more likely."We need a female doctor," Vladimir commanded."Uh, sure," the doctor confusedly answered before carefully placing my foot back on the bed. He left without saying another word.I raised an eyebrow at Vladimir."You scared the poor man," I whispered accusingly."Nobody touches what's mine," he coldly muttered under his breath. I didn't know whether I should feel scared or flattered. In the end, I just decided to ignore what he said thinking that he was just doing it for show.It didn't take long before the same doctor returned, causing the frown on Vladimir's forehead to deepen."
VLADIMIRNo. This can't be right.I glanced at Blaze who was looking at me apologetically."I know it's hard to believe, but everything points to her," he said.I harshly wiped my face with my palm. It's unbelievable. I can't imagine how she was able to orchestrate something like this.Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I thought bitterly.I squeezed my eyes shut before looking at the files Blaze had given me when I arrived. I scanned them again, making sure I wasn't seeing things. I gritted my teeth while reading.They were complete with bank transactions, emails, and phone calls. I don't know how he got all of this but it doesn't matter now, does it?Everything was traced back to Riva. Riva!My seemingly innocent wife. Her sweet smile flashed at the back of my mind. How could she do this to me? I never once suspected her. Even now, with everything my men found against her, I still find it hard to believe.How could she do this to me?How? Why? Some of the bank transacti
YVONNEMy head is reeling. I stood behind the closed door, replaying everything that happened inside my head. To say I was dumbfounded is an understatement.I'm in love with you.I can still hear his husky voice and feel his warm breath fanning against the sensitive skin on my neck. Speechless after he said those words, I didn't even try to look at him, even though I could feel his glances while driving back to my unit.I don't know how to process it. It seemed unrealistic. Did he really say those words? Was I dreaming?I pinched my arm so hard to prove that I am awake. I groaned when pain hit me.Shit. It was real!"Aah!" I screamed so loud that I must have woken up the entire building!Damn it! I jumped into the daybed and pushed my face against a pillow, trying to muffle my screams against it.I'm losing my mind!How can he be in love with me? I can't believe this. He must be playing with me! But why would he lie about it?I rolled to my back and stared at the ceiling as if his fac
VLADIMIR"I promise I'll make it right."Her whole body became rigid in my arms when I held her. I know this sounds like an empty promise, but I meant it."I..." I took a deep breath. I turned her around to look at her. I wanted to see her face. I wanted her to see how genuine my feelings were."I'm in love with you," I told her while staring deep into her eyes. Her lips parted in shock. I had the strongest urge to ravish those lips, but this wasn't the time for that."Do you understand?" I asked when she didn't even blink.I cupped her face, pressing my forehead against her. I can hear her ragged breaths as if she was on the verge of a panic attack."I love you," I whispered. "But I need to make things right this time. I need to... end things with Riva so we can start on a clean slate."She remained dumbfounded. She was just staring at me as if I'd grown another head."Yvonne," I gently called her name. "Did you hear me?"She only nodded but still didn't say anything. I guess it was
YVONNE"Leave," even I was surprised at how my voice turned out full of conviction. I stared at the darkness in front of us.We were still in the middle of the road when he suddenly stopped the car.He chuckled humorlessly, probably from my audacity to give him an order like that. But I don't care anymore. I just need to do what I have to protect my heart from further breaking into pieces. Because if not me, nobody will."Stop playing with me," I said."I don't know what kind of game you are playing right now," I told him, my voice dripping with raw emotions. I didn't even try to hide how I really felt.I am confused and devastated. His mere presence is enough to fuck me in the head. Every time I see him around, it gives me a glimpse of hope. I don't want to. God knows I don't want to, but my stupid heart couldn't help but assume.Assume that he was here for me. Assume that he missed me. The more I see him, the more I expect him to talk to me and tell me he wants me back.It was pathe
VLADIMIR What was I thinking? I thought, staring at her as she obviously checked out everything in the room except me. How could I become so impulsive around her? I shouldn't have dragged her here in the pretense that I wanted to talk. I just wanted to be with her for a little longer and that's the only thing I could come up with when it seemed like she couldn't wait to get away from me. "What do we need to talk about?" she asked impatiently. I badly wanted to pull her closer, to wrap her in my arms and inhale her intoxicating scent to calm my shit down. But I stopped myself. As much as I wanted to confess to her, I wanted to settle everything first. I wanted to do it right this time. I should end things with Riva, before even thinking of taking her back. I owe it to both of them. What should I tell her though? My mind was blank. Fuck it. "What?" she muttered while looking at me with a puzzled expression on her face. It felt like I was saved by the bell when I heard a knock
YVONNEI chose a semi-formal emerald green dress. I took it from the rack and held it in front of me, imagining how I would look if I wore it."It suits you."I gasped audibly when I heard his voice behind me. I turned to look just to find him standing at the closet's entrance. I gulped when I caught his gaze lingering on my body.My cheeks heated up profusely. I can feel the temperature around us suddenly rising. I couldn't help but glance at the air conditioning unit in the room. It's turned off. It's definitely the reason why it's getting hotter here.I'm sure it had nothing to do with Vladimir leaning languidly against the doorframe, looking so damn... Fine..."Uhm, thanks," I murmured, fighting the urge to bite my lip. "I'll take this for the opening ceremony. I hope you won't mind."He looked around the closet. I noticed his jaw ticked when he must have realized that everything was still there."I don't care," he looked back at me. This time, he stared into my eyes intently. "Yo
YVONNE The silence that greeted me in the apartment was deafening. I suddenly wished I let Selene come with me again. I sighed as I plopped myself into the daybed. I stared at the ceiling as if it was interesting. I felt so exhausted after another day of pretending I was fine. I'm not. I even think I am on the brink of insanity. I'm barely holding on by a thread so as not to fall on the other side. I don't know what I want anymore. I want him gone when he's around, but my heart screams for him when he's not. Damn it. If that's not insane, then I don't know what else is! "Ugh!" I groaned loudly. I should seriously stop thinking about him! I harshly get out of bed to find something else to do to occupy my mind. I winced when I realized there was no food left. I was quite hungry because I had not eaten anything while in the shelter. I sighed. I had no choice but to go out. I can also drop by the store to buy some stocks. I just gathered my hair up into a messy bun, then grabbed
VLADIMIRI woke up with a heavy feeling on my chest. I pried my lids open just to find Riva sleeping soundly. Half of her body is almost draped on my chest. Her arms were tightly wrapped around me as if she was afraid to let me go.I sighed. I guess she has the right to feel this way. It's my fault. I haven't done anything to give her the assurance she needed.I can't even if I wanted to. Not after finally accepting how I truly felt.I let out a long sigh before gently untangling her from me. I was careful not to wake her up. I don't want another confrontation. Not after last night.I still feel emotionally drained from our conversation. Today, I just want to breathe without the emotional baggage that's been weighing down my shoulders for a while now."Is there any update?" I asked as soon as I arrived at the warehouse.Our operation is back on track, although I refused to deal with clients who turned their backs on me in exchange for a few dollars in savings."We still haven't found
YVONNEThe next morning, I woke up with a terrible headache. I already forgot most of what happened after finishing the bottle of tequila."Ugh," I grunted as I rolled out of bed. I barely slept last night but I still needed to wake up early to go to work. Dragging my feet to the bathroom, I went under the cold shower to wake my senses up.Selene was still sleeping soundly when I finished. I went to the kitchen in just my bathrobe to whip up a quick breakfast for us. To my dismay, my refrigerator was almost empty. I needed to go to the supermarket later. Luckily, I found a few strips of bacon in the freezer and still a few pieces of eggs left.I popped some bread into the toaster while I fry the bacon and eggs. I checked the pantry, waiting for the bacon to cook to take note of things I needed to restock.After I was done cooking, I set everything on the table and then proceeded to change into my work clothes. I pulled up a pair of stretchable pinstriped dress pants. Then I put on a s
