If only I could. I sighed as I bitterly smiled. "I've been thinking about lots of stuff. Your offer is pending since it's in the last line." I just humoured him."Ouch. Can't I be a priority?"I managed to chuckle but failed to utter a word. I just savoured the feeling of resting on his chest. He stopped combing my hair and wrapped both of his masculine arms on my waist while I was still on his top. I closed my eyes, savouring his warm hug. I felt so safe around him like no one could hurt me. His hug made me feel like I was protected at all costs.I woke up in a soft bed with a cold breeze hugging my body plus the care of the comforter. My brows crossed as I sat and leaned my back on the headboard. I could smell Ezra's perfume all over his room. I massaged my head as I tried to remember what happened yesterday night. I fell asleep on top of him. I bit my lower lip but a smile formed as I thought deeply of what happened that whole night; it was a blast. My heart was jumping with joy.I
"Sorry, you had to see me crying," I whispered while I was looking at the people playing beach volleyball. We were still under a pine tree. My back was leaning there like a lazy kid while Ezra was sitting beside me throwing small rocks away from us. "I don't mind seeing your fragile side, Snow." I faked a smile. I finally calmed down after a few minutes of breaking down. He just hugged me a while ago. He didn't utter any word as if he knew that quietness was all that I need. When my tears finally emptied, we just sat quietly, looking at nowhere. "Mother and daughter arguments again?" he asked with his comforting eyes. I just nodded. Part of me wanted to tell him the truth but something was stopping me to do so I guess not knowing would be so much better for him. Besides, we would never see each other again once I go back to the city. I didn't wanna ruin our moment so... fuck, I was so fucked up. "You can tell me anything, Snow. You can open up to me." I took a deep breath. "I'm
I wore a silver dress with cuts on both sides of my waist, it emphasizes the curves of my body. I was about to ask Ezra to zip my dress but I didn't see him in his living room, instead, I saw a note on his coffee table. 'Hi, my lady. I'm already on the yacht, waiting for you. Go take your time. There's no rushing here, lovemaking can wait, right? Kidding aside, you'll see my yacht right after you went out of my cabin. This is a special night; I hope you'll feel way more special than you think you are.' I chuckled as I shook my head in full genuineness. I sighed when I felt my chest-thumping louder. I had no choice but to zip my dress on my own. I felt more excited so I rushed putting lipstick for the last touch on my face. I chose flat sandals instead of heels. Stilettos weren't practical in a beach setting, especially when I walked past the sand. When I went out of his cabin, my lips parted as I saw a tulip bouquet on the floor. "Oh my God, silly Ezra." I grabbed the flowers and s
I played with my fingers as I looked at the wedding ring I was wearing. My eyes were burning as I stared deeper at the ring. I took a deep breath with my chest twitching while the car was on the way to L. A was moving continuously. "You okay, Snow?" Quinn held my hand. I was sitting beside her in the passenger's seat. We were on our way home and fuck, I felt like my chest was stabbed a million times; the sadness was suffocating me. "Why wouldn't I be?" I faked a smile before looking back at the ring I just wore again the minute I entered this car. "Because we're going back to L. A and you're gonna need to face your life again, to face Clayton." She puffed a breath. "It's normal to not be okay, Snow. You're gonna go back to the life you never dreamt of, so not being okay is valid." "I'll miss him, Quinn." I couldn't stop thinking about Ezra. The sadness in his eyes when I said goodbye to him struck my heart like an axe. He tried to stop me, he persuaded me to stay but I had a life
"Snow! Oh my God!" Quinn entered my art room like she owns the place. I didn't glance at her. I continued colouring the plain paper in front of me with random colours while I was sitting calmly on a stool chair. Doing an abstract painting had been my coping mechanism when I'm bored, sad or overthinking. Gladly, Clayton allowed me to have an art room in our house. I would probably hate him to death if he didn't. "Hey! Did you even hear me coming inside?" Quinn stood beside the paper I was painting on. She crossed her arms, I could only see that through my peripheral view as I was still playing with colours on the paper. "Snow!" I glanced at her. "What's up?" I was bored to death. It had been four months since my vacation on the Ecstasy Land and now I was dying to come back but I couldn't. Clayton became stricter. Fuck, I didn't even know how he discovered that I cheated on him, maybe he just assumed that, cause Quinn said she never gossiped about anything that happened in the Ecst
I bit my lower lip as I remembered the way Ezra first flirted with me. His image, his smile, laugh, everything about him kept on flashing back on my mind. His memories were like a tattoo that I couldn't remove out of my fucking brain cells. "I can't." I swallowed deeply. "I'm married." My chest squirmed. Funny how Ezra could be an exemption for that but he wouldn't be there so, no. I couldn't and I shouldn't flirt, not anymore. "Wow." Val sarcastically parted her lips. "I didn't know you're loyal." "Am I?" It was a half meant sarcasm. "Oh, I'm not sure. You don't really love Clayton, right?" I gulped. I took a deep breath. My head felt heavy like I didn't wanna answer but I managed to shake my head a little. "I see but it doesn't erase the fact that you guys are married so yeah, you have all the rights to be careful and choose not to flirt with anyone. But he cheated on you before, right?" "We're here." I gulped while parking my car in front of Quinn's lot. Thank God, we already
"Snow, it's a pleasure to finally see you again." The side of Ezra's lips rose but his eyes were still shooting dagger at me. "Except that, I saw you dancing with another man." Oh my God! How to calm down? I felt like dying. I parted my lips but failed to utter a word for a second until I chuckled awkwardly. "Ezra! Oh gosh, it's you, I mean, I didn't expect to see you here, outside the Ecstasy Land." He stepped closer to me until he leaned as his forehead touched mine. My heartbeat was now louder than the echoing music in the room. I was out of breath but I was trying to act normal and not that affected. "Expect the unexpected." I froze like a block of ice when his warm fingers touched my face as he put some of my hair strands on the back of my ear. He then leaned deeper; electricity travelled through me when I felt his lips touching the tip of my ear as his warm breath travelled on my skin. "I missed you, Snow," he whispered while I couldn't move. Fuck he was so close, I could
I dropped my body from the countertop and faced the sink. I hold on to it while he was behind me. The warmness on his hand as he held my back tingled my nerves. He pushed my body to bend me more on the sink. I looked at our reflection in the mirror. Shit, our view was way hotter than the views I had watched on porn. He moved closer to me. I bit my lower lip as I felt the head of his manhood poking my femininity, and without warning, he pushed all of him inside me. "Oh fuck!" I covered my mouth, remembering that we were just in a bathroom and outside was full of people, partying. "Ah..." His moan could make me cum, to be honest, it was so freaking hot. He then thrust himself deep inside me, so fast and hard. I was almost biting my palm so I could control my moan. My body heated even more as I watched his reflection in the mirror while he thrust hard and smoothly inside me. He would close his eyes from time to time, bite his lower lip, lick and then he would look up, showing his perf
"Four years." Ried sat beside me on the stool at the counter area of his bar. "You still think about her?"I raised my shot glass in front of his face before taking the shot. I ordered a bottle of Tequila to the bartender."Who's her?" I asked before taking another shot.Ried laughed. "Still bitter huh.""What are you talking about, dude?" I shook my head before taking another shot.Drinking alcohol in Ried's bar have been my hobby since then. I would often get drunk, just so I would feel numb."You still thinking about her?"I gripped on the shot glass. "No, I don't. I'm busy with my life so why would I ever think about her? No fucking way."Ried laughed again. "You're fooling yourself.""Fuck off!" I shook my head as I took another shot. My throat was already immune to tequila that I don't need any lemon or whatever bullshit chaser people normally used."Goodluck with your life, dude! I hope you find the right woman for you." Ried tapped my shoulder."Fuck off!" He chuckled teasin
Ezra's POVI kept on glancing at Snow while driving towards the address she set up on my waze. I couldn't stop adoring her. Part of me was also nervous today as he plans to talk to her parents. I wanted to be by her side for that moment, I tried persuading her again to let me come and talk to her parents but she resisted and I respect her choices so I had no choice but to let her do the talking alone with her parents.That nervousness inside me would often fade away cause everytime our eyes would meet, she would smile, melting my defenses.We arrived in the destination just as planned. I looked at her parents' mansion outside. I shrugged and felt the heavy feeling in my chest again."Are you sure about this?" I asked while she was removing his seatbelt. "You sure you'll handle this alone? I can come with you---""Ezra, my love." She massaged my jaw. "I'll talk to them first, okay? I don't wanna shock them. I'll prepare them first before bringing another man inside their house."I gas
"Finally, Snow. I'm glad; I'm so happy I can finally own you, for real," Ezra said while looking up at the stars. We were sitting beside each other on the sand. It was in the middle of the night when we decided to walk on the seashore. We got tired so we sat and admired the moon with its stars. "I can't wait to marry you." He wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "I can't wait to see you in a white long gown and kiss you as my bride." I smiled as I rested my head on his shoulder. "I can't wait to but..." I gasped. "I still need to face some stuff before anything else." "What is it?" "My parents, Ezra. I need to inform them about what happened and I'm afraid they'll get really mad at me for what I've done." "What have you done? You just save yourself from the life you never dreamt of." I puffed a breath, releasing some stones on my chest. "Yes b, ut they will never understand that." "Then let's make them understand. I'm gonna help you convince-" "No, Ez." I bit my lower lip. "L
"Wow!" My eyes glittered while looking at the wonderful view of the blue sea as we reached the cliff where we used to hang out, one year ago. It amazed me more because of the table resting on the cliff with so many foods on top of it. "Who arranged this?" I asked while looking at the set-up. "It doesn't matter, my lady. Just sit and relax; enjoy our date." He pulled a chair for me. I smiled before sitting. He sat parallel to mine. I looked around; a date on a cliff with a beautiful view of the sea and white sand plus the fresh air ravishing our skin. I felt like I was sitting on a cloud nine. "Do you like it?" I met his eyes. "I love it, Ez. Oh God, thank you!" "I love to make you smile so... my pleasure." He shrugged before putting food on my plate. I watched him do that and all I could feel was my heart beating in so much gratitude. It felt so amazing, watching the man I adore take care of me. "Snow..." He called me while we were already eating. I finished chewing before
My lips parted but he quickly sealed it with an oft, warm kiss. He gently bit my lower lip making me moan a little as I tiptoed to even deepen our passionate lips together. He carefully pushed me until my back felt the cold tiles then his kisses went down to my jaw, to my neck, down to my chest. I looked up, when he suck my shoulder, leaving a tattoo of love embroidered on my skin. I gripped his hair when he started eating my womanhood as he kneeled. I looked up with my lips parted and squeezed my eyes close in the enthusiasm and pleasure I was feeling on his warm tongue and soft lips. I bit my lower lip suppressing a loud moan as his quirky tongue felt so good that I could feel my femininity soaking in wetness. "Ah! Hmm... Ezra! Oh!" I gripped his hair tighter as he continued thrusting his tongue faster inside me. "Oh fuck! Oh! Uhm! Ah!" My body curled as the lightning of pleasure travelled through my nerves. My knees trembled, feeling my orgasm was about to arrive. "Oh! Ah! Shit!
"Hey, you okay?" Ezra asked while I was leaning on the railings of the yacht, watching the sea waves. It had been two days since Clayton set me free and Ezra and I were now on the way back to Ecstasy Land. I was supposed to be happy knowing that Clayton already let me go, but my conscience was hunting me for everything that he admitted. He hurt me; I hurt him. We were not good to each other and maybe that was a good enough reason to actually end our marriage. Though, we were not divorced yet. The divorce papers were still in process and I was actually nervous that he might cancel our agreement or something. My God, I was thinking about lots of things, feeling like my head was gonna explode sooner or later. "Snow, hey." I flinched when a hand tapped my shoulder. I looked at Ezra and smiled. "Sorry, what did you say?" I asked. He gasped. "What's wrong, my lady? Still worried Clayton is gonna cancel your divorce agreements?" I slightly nodded. I didn't tell Ezra the part where Clay
I quickly lay on the bed and covered my body with the comforter. I hugged myself tighter, preparing myself if ever Clayton would hurt me again. I didn't understand why he wanted me to stay for the last time this night. I just agreed because it was only my chance and I grabbed it. Maybe he'd hurt me, scream at me, or make me suffer. Do whatever he wants but I'm gonna get out of here by tomorrow. Clayton stood in front of the whole body mirror as he loosened his necktie. He threw it on the laundry basket before he removed his black polo. I looked away. His broad body intimidated me. I felt like he could break my body into pieces with his big hands and masculine body built. "Why is everyone in this house afraid of me?" He chuckled sarcastically before he wore a grey t-shirt and changed his pants into shorts. "Does my facial features intimidate you?" He said while looking at himself in the mirror. I gulped and hugged myself tighter. I still wasn't confident that he wasn't gonna hurt
I was roaming around the four corners of the room. My mind wouldn't stop overthinking things and imagining scenarios. Fuck! I stopped when the opened, revealing Clayton. My lips parted as I saw the burner phone in his hand. I walked toward him and slapped his chest so hard, continuously, but seems like I wasn't even hurting him. My hands were the ones that felt tired of punching and slapping his stoned chest. "What did you do o him?!" He clenched his jaw as he threw the phone on the floor and stepped on it repeatedly. "No! Fuck! No!" I kneeled, trying to save the phone but he didn't let go of t until it was totally broken. My tears started falling as I felt like my chest was being choked with pointed bones. I stood and faced him. He was looking bored. I never wanted him to see me crying but I just couldn't stop it. "Your lover didn't reach my expectation, to be honest," he said with a flat face. "What did you do to him?!" He shrugged. "I don't know. What do you think?" "What
I swallowed deeply as the silence almost killed me. Clayton didn't talk for a minute. It was as if we were both drowning in silence until he wrapped his arms around my waist and he rested his face on my shoulder. I froze with my lips parted. I couldn't move like I have been caged in an iceberg. "It hurts, Snow," he whispered. "Every minute of the day you never failed to make me feel how you just married for my money and four families. It's hurting me, Snow. Knowing that I'm nothing to you but just a piece of ba ank that your parents need to survive... Then you cheated on me... Do you know how painful it is to try and still be not enough?" I looked up, calming my burning eyes. "Clayton..." I held his arms, trying to loosen his hug but he just gripped his arms tighter on my body. I sighed. "Clayton, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry but you know in the first place that... that's the only real reason. I did make it clear to you yet you still forced me to tie not with you." "Because I hop
