Eduardo’s POV

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror as I caught a glimpse of a hickey on my neck.

Heat pooled in my groins as my mind drifted to the tantalizing memories of three nights ago; specifically how good sex had been with Jocelyn.

Fuck, I wish I had the ability to transport myself back to that night, so I could feel the pleasant sensation that came with the art of blissful lovemaking.

Above all, what remained conspicuous in my mind was the fact that Jocelyn didn't despise me as much as she'd claimed.

I knew she didn't exactly love me either, but at least, she didn't hate me. I mean, we had sex thrice that night, and she had moaned with pleasure all through.

I doubt she'd have allowed it to happen if she hated me as much as she claimed to.

Now that I had confirmed that she was still very much attracted to me, I had to continue working in order to get to her heart faster than Damien.

I was about entering my car when my phone vibrated in my pocket. Retracting it, I saw Ivy di

    Eduardo’s POV Standing in front of the showglass, housing several mannequins with clothes worn on them, I smiled as I thought of Jocelyn. I was currently in the shopping mall to purchase some household items. Among all my the dresses, a particular red one stood out to me the most, and I could already picture myself taking it off Jocelyn as I trailed kisses down her throat The salacious thought sent blood rushing to my groins, and I quickly pushed it away. As much as I wanted to purchase it and gift her, I knew I couldn't, because that would only take our gradually-improving relationship back to square one, and I couldn't have that. Or I could just buy it then keep it until our relationship was in the clear. Yes, that was the best thing to do. “Excuse me,” I beckoned one of the shop attendants, and she quickly came over. “Yes, sir. How may I help you?” Retrieving my black card from inside my wallet, I motioned to the showglass. “Get me that red dress.” “Very well

    Jocelyn’s POV “Henry is going to be so excited when he sees us,” Nancy said, as I steered my car into the parking lot of Gemma's elementary.“Right?

Hi, Aunty Nancy.”“Hey, sweetie. Did something happen?” I asked, crouching to his height as Nancy moved behind him, gently stroking his hair. “No.” He shook his head in negation but I could clearly see through him, and I knew he was

I will let you know when I'm done signing the documents.”“Very well, sir.” Rafael said, before leaving my office.Chuckling, I shook my head as I thought of the ways I had been avoiding meeting up with Damien, ever since the day we met at the hospital.I had given him multiple signals to show him that I wasn't interested in rekindling our friendship yet he had been bothering me.In all honesty, it wasn't like we were that close in college. We had just taken many classes together and naturally, we spoke a lot to each other, nothing more.I knew nothing about him other than that his family owned a software development company, nothing more, and I hadn'

    Jocelyn’s POV “You shouldn't be doing this,” A voice in my head echoed, as Eduardo hooked his arms around my waist, tongue slipping into the sensual warmth of my mouth.Having Eduardo's tongue shoved down my throat wasn't my plan at all, yet I couldn't bring myself to push him away.Not when my pussy was throbbing and wet for his touch.Coming here to Eduardo's company, my plan had been to discuss business with him, particularly regarding me purchasing some of his company shares.I was scared of my emotions messing things up and had decided to start acting according to plan yet here I was, a squirming mess in his hold.My plan was to purchase several of his company shares using both Roshome and various fake companies. Then, I would wait for the right time to strike and claim his company as mine.According to Amelia, the court proceedings regarding Eduardo's fraudulent business partner were still underway, and I knew it was a matter of time before Eduardo would also get investigated.

    Eduardo’s POV “Ensure you submit the sales memo to the audit department before the day ends,” I instructed Rafael as we walked into my office. We had just returned from the weekly departmental meeting. “Yes, sir.” Taking my seat on my swivel chair, I mused. “Good. You may leave.” “Sir, there's something you need to know,” Rafael uttered. “What is that?” I raised a brow. “Roshome is asking to buy fifteen percent of LZ shares,” He divulged. “I got the email this afternoon.” “Is that so?” I mumbled, inwardly wondering why Jocelyn hadn't mentioned being interested in having shares in my company. “Yes, sir.” She had probably been overwhelmed by the tantalizing sex that we had the other day. Delicious lust coursed through my veins at the salacious thought, as my pants tightened at the crotch area. Now that I thought of it, she had probably come here the other day to tell me that she wanted to purchase shares, but things had gone tawdry and we had ended naked and entw

I wish Damien would just cancel the stupid conference.”At the mention of Damien's name, a dull feeling of guilt wrapped around my chest, which I willed away, allowing pleasant thoughts to float into my mind.Some weeks back when I told Nancy that

The poor woman had tried all she could to get me to come home, so she could tell me, but I had been so desperate to please Eduardo and his ungrateful mother that I had ignored my mother.“Let's not do this today,” I whispered to myself. “Please let's stop feeling guilty. The damage is done.”Stroking the wedding ring one last time, I headed downstairs where Henry was waiting, already dressed in a black suit, which I bought for today.“Let's go, baby.” I said, and he nodded before taking my hand.“Is aunty Nancy going to meet us there?” Henry asked as I buckled

We promised to focus on the positive part, didn't we?” I chided myself, using the back of my hand to wipe off my tears.Just then, the bathroom door creaked and Eduardo walked out.“Babe, what time are we picking up the cake?

It's been three weeks since you told me about whatever happened between you and Brian at the wedding,” I said, and she sighed. “Ever since then, you have been seemingly avoiding coming over to our place. What is going on, Ivy?”There was silence for a couple of moments that I almost thought Ivy had hung up on him.As I removed my phone to check if the call was still ongoing, she sighed again. “I will tell you everything in due time, Josie. It's kinda a serious matter.”“Are you pregnant and he's refusing to accept it?” I blurted out the first question that came to mind.“No, of course not,” She replied, sounding amused. “We had sex that night.”“Oh,” I said, suddenly at a loss for words.I mean, it was very evident, given the sexual tension between them that something like that may or may not ha

    Jocelyn's POV “As my lady pleases,” Eduardo said, before placing me on the floor. Arousal pooled within me, mixing up with my blood and flowing through my veins as Eduardo knelt in front of me, his arms hooked around my waist and his lips pressed to my navel. Instinctively wrapping my hands around his head, I threw my head back in pleasure even though Eduardo was yet to touch me. The pure, undiluted sensation of his skin on mine was enough to send me tipping over the edge. Repressing the urge to have a premature orgasm, I fluttered my eyes open and looked into his, melting at how sexy his lust-addled grey eyes looked. Pressing another kiss to my navel, Eduardo ran his hands from my ass cheeks to my back down and rested on my ass before he stood up, lifted me bridal style and pressed a kiss to my forehead. Thereafter, he placed me on the bed, intense arousal glinting across his grey eyes as he withdrew from the kiss to plant a kiss on my boobs. Looking into my eyes, he moved do

Don't forget to call us right away if the kids are too much to handle.” I said, to which she scoffed.“Come on, Josie. I can look after my babies very well, so don't think about anything and just focus on having fun.” She said, winking, which made me blush.“Bye, Ivy.” Eduardo said, cinching his seatbelt. “We will be sure to take your word and have a lot of fun.”Thereafter, he drove off and I watched Ivy wave after our moving car, through the sideview mirror.“My beautiful wife,” Eduardo said, taking his eyes off the road to look at me and take my hand in his free one. “I still can't believe that you are mine even though we exchanged rings a couple of hours ago.”“Are you drunk?” I asked.“Do I look drink?”“No,” I replied. “You are just cheesier than usual.” I teased him, and he chuckled before pressing a kiss to the back of my hand.“But honestly spe
