“Fuck!” Jayden groaned as he collapsed on the bed.

He turned to look at Zendaya, who was staring distantly at the ceiling as he smiled as he touched her thigh, which made her whimper.

No more, I can’t feel my legs,” she rasped breathlessly and Jayden chuckled as he had fulfilled his goal of wearing her out.

Wrapping his hand around her waist, she buried her head in his chest. “Sleep, darling,” he told her, and she did.

****

Jayden sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Zendaya’s peaceful face.

Her breathing was steady, her lips slightly parted as she slept.

The intimacy of their earlier moments lingered in the room, and it brought a smile to his face.

He reached out, his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair away from her face and she stirred slightly but didn’t wake, a soft sigh escaping her lips.

“I don't want to leave you,” he murmured under his breath, leaning down to press a light kiss to her forehead. “But I have to do this.”

He pulled the blanket up, tucking it arou

    The sight of him half-baked wearing a dangerously low grey sweatpants made the heat rush in between her legs.Her lips curved upward before she could stop herself and he noticed it. Damn Jayden for looking so handsome.“Good morning,” Jayden said, his voice low and warm.“You’re still here?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “I thought work took you away again.”Jayden smirked, leaning casually against the door frame. “What can I say? I'm full of surprises. Besides, I wasn't planning on leaving you after what happened between us”His words made the memory of their last disagreement surfaced, and her expression softened, a hint of guilt creeping in. “Are you still mad at me?”Jayden’s smirk faded, replaced by something quieter, gentler. He crossed the room in a few strides, sitting on the edge of the bed beside her. “No,” he said firmly. “But I need you to promise me something.”Zendaya tilted her head, her curiosity piqued. “What?”“Don’t lie to me,” he said, his tone serious. “And don’

    The warmth of the bathwater with her dipped inside it made her feel a lot better. Jayden crouched beside the tub, his hand swirling the water lazily as he watched her.She was too relaxed to say anything, but when she felt the weight of Jayden’s stare, she broke her silence.“You’re staring,” she murmured without opening her eyes.“You’re stunning,” he shot back without hesitation.Her lips twitched into a smile, though she tried to suppress it. Jayden’s charm was second to none, and they came out so easily.“Flattery won’t get you anywhere right now, and not especially what you’re thinking.”Jayden chuckled, his eyes shining with amusement. “Who said I’m trying to get anywhere? Maybe I just like seeing you like this.”Her eyes fluttered open, her gaze meeting his. She raised a brow, her voice filled with suspicion. “Like what?”“Content and Happy,” he said simply.She was expecting another answer, and so she didn’t know how to respond. However, his next action proved she had been r

    After breakfast, the two returned to the room and the atmosphere was calm, a contrast to the whirlwind of emotions from the night before, and Zendaya was content with it. Jayden had decided to work from home, surprisingly, and when she asked him why, he told her because she wanted him to stay back.She didn't tell him, even though the thought ran through her head, and she couldn't stop smiling over the fact that the man she once thought cold and emotionless could understand her without her having to say anything.Jayden’s laptop perched on his lap as he leaned against the headboard. His legs stretched out on either side of Zendaya, who rested comfortably against his chest, scrolling through her phone.Jayden smiled as his wait was finally paying off and all had gone according to his plan.

    “You're a beast,” Zendaya remarked as she slipped out from under the covers.Although Jayden didn't work her as hard as he did the previous night, he still didn't take it easy on herJayden stirred, propping himself up on one elbow, his blue eyes tracing her every move. She walked into the closet and when she came out, she was with her clothes and not his anymore. He watched her wear her shirt before speaking."Where are you going?" His voice was low and there was a hint of irritation.Zendaya glanced at him over her shoulder as she zipped her jeans. "I need to meet Levi. We have to take care of Matthew,” she replied.Jayden frowned, sitting up fully now, the sheet slipping to his waist. "Take care of him, how?"Matthew was someone he had forgotten all about. After all, the bastard had no more importance in Zendaya’s life."I don’t know yet." She grabbed her phone from the nightstand, and she checked it.

    Life really had many ways of messing her up, and one of such ways was cleverly recreating what had happened a week after her eighteenth birthday.It was a mistake that was never supposed to happen. She had snuck out to a party. She was naive and had foolishly allowed herself to be drugged, which led to her almost getting raped.It was the man who was standing in front of her that had saved her. As she was too afraid to face her family or her friends, she begged him to cover for her, which caused her to hide in his room.One thing led to another, and the next thing she knew was that she had slept with Jayden. The fact that she was the one who pushed for it made it worse.When it was time to have a talk with him, he immediately told her his hatred for her hadn't changed, and it had only increased as he considered her cheap now that he had slept with her.The memory was one that would haunt her forever, as she hated herself for it, and the fact that he had just caught her trying to have a

    Zendaya couldn’t believe that she was naked, and she desperately hoped she was having a nightmare. However, the pain that hit her in her lower region told her that it wasn’t. Seeing that Jayden was still staring at her naked body, she quickly reached out and yanked the duvet away from him so she could cover herself up. That was a big mistake as she was met with his naked body, which made her quickly turn away. “Cover yourself up!” She cried out as her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She waited until after she heard the shuffling of clothes to look back at him. He had worn his pants, but he still hadn’t put a shirt on, and this was still distracting to her. “Why the hell are you at my house and naked?” Zendaya immediately fired at him. “Look around and tell me what you observe,” Jayden yawned in a bored tone as he sat up. Zendaya was confused as to why he was asking her to look around, but as soon as she did, she found the answer. This wasn’t her house! She yelled in her

    "I'm her boyfriend and if you don't get out of here, I'll be the man who will be responsible for putting you six feet underground," Jayden responded, shocking Zendaya. She immediately turned to look at him, but he wasn't looking at her, rather his attention was focused on Matthew who looked pale. Before she could say anything, Matthew pushed her out of the way and moved to punch Jayden. However, the latter, who was already prepared for it, deflected it and landed his own punch. “That's my fucking fiancée, you asshole!” Matthew growled in anger. There was no way he was going to allow Jayden to steal what he had worked so hard for, not when he was so close to victory. “Not anymore,” it was Zendaya who spoke this time. “Get out of my house, Matthew, we’re done,” she growled in anger. She hadn’t intended for him to know that she knew about his infidelity, but since the cat was out of the bag, she could only plan her revenge plan from there. Matthew immediately tried to move closer to

    Jayden looked at the woman who was in front of him and he sighed. He was mad at her, very mad, but it was increasingly difficult to remain mad when she looked at him with those big blue eyes of hers. He would forgive her in the morning but for tonight, he needed to stand his ground so she wouldn’t repeat what had happened tonight again.As for those two sisters of his, he trusted they would be handled properly as well. Seeing that Jayden wasn’t relenting, she decided to try another way to get him to forgive her and so, she slowly approached him. The closer she got, the more her nerves threatened to overtake her, but she ignored them. This was something she had to do.Apologizing wasn’t going to cut it, and she wanted to see if he would be able to resist her charms.“What are you doing?” Jayden asked when she got to where he was.Without giving herself a chance to back out, Zendaya lifted herself onto her toes, her fingers gently brushing against his back as she leaned in, pressing

    As Zendaya followed Jayden towards the mansion, the weight of the night pressed heavily on her chest.Her heart pounded in her ears, and her stomach twisted into tight knots, and it wasn't one where she felt butterflies.It was shocking to see just how fast things had gone downhill. Just this morning, he had made breakfast for her, and they had spoken on the phone and now, he was mad at her, rightfully so.‘What the hell have I done?’ Zendaya sighed.Her mind raced as she replayed everything that had led up to this moment. From the moment she stepped into the club, the excitement of being out with Juliette and Anaya had clouded her judgment. She hadn’t meant for it to escalate like this. She didn’t expect Daniel to get so aggressive. But Jayden? She had never seen him this angry, this cold.Well, she had, but back then she didn't care too much about it. Now she did.‘I should have just listened to my gut feeling and stayed home with him.’ she sighed once more.The guilt crushed her.

    Zendaya watched in silence as Jayden let Daniel drop to the floor, groaning and clutching his arm. The club's bouncers finally arrived and dragged the defeated man out, but Jayden didn't even glance their way. His focus was entirely on Zendaya. Unlike the past few days where he had looked at her with tenderness, the look in his eyes told her he was angry, very angry at her. "Outside. Now," he ordered, his tone cold and furious. Zendaya didn't dare argue and she nodded. The cool night air hit her skin as she followed Jayden out of the club. She barely had time to process what had just happened before Jayden turned around to look at her, his expression dark with anger. "What the hell were you thinking?" he demanded, his voice sharp enough to cut through steel. "Jayden, I-I. Let me explain,” she said. "Don't," he snapped, holding up a hand, and she swallowed what she was about to say. "Don't even try to explain. You lied to me." "I didn't lie," she countered weakly. Jayd

    The loud music blasted through the speakers, and it made the floors vibrate as people yelled on the dance floor.Zendaya stood at a table with Juliette and Anaya, sipping a cocktail that was sweeter than she liked. Her friends were deep in conversation, laughing and pointing at the dancers nearby.Zendaya forced a smile, but her thoughts were elsewhere. Normally, she had no problem with such an atmosphere, but the same couldn't be said at that moment. The music was too loud, the air too stifling, and the crowd too chaotic for her liking. She couldn’t stop thinking about Jayden, what he was doing and how he must have felt when she told him she couldn’t come.He had intended to cook for her, and she had shut him down. Most importantly, she hadn't seen him all day and she missed him."Okay, we need to get you on the dance floor," Juliette declared, snapping Zendaya out of her thoughts.Before Zendaya could protest, Juliette added, "No excuses.
