"Tell me what you're wearing," His deep voice came through from the other end.
"A satin dress!" She answered, already getting turned on by his questions.
"Long or short?"
"Short."
"Perfect. Panties?" He asked.
"Yes"
"Take it off." He commanded. Mia felt a shiver run down her spine. But she obeyed. She adjusted herself and took off her panties.
"Done!" She replied, lying on her back.
"Good girl! Now close your eyes." He instructed.
Mia obeyed.
"Remember how you feel anytime I take your erect nipple into my warm wet mouth?"
Mia nodded her head at the memory. "Yes I do," she moaned.
"Put your index finger in your mouth, ensure you've got enough saliva on it, then slowly run that finger over your right nipple."
"Ahhhhhhh!" Mia moaned at the cold shiver she got from doing as Colton requested.
"Good job, baby. Keep going. You know those cute nipples of yours are one of my favorite parts of your body. Keep pleasuring them for me, my love. Don't stop until they are very erect and probably a bit red. Just like the way they look whenever I'm done sucking and teasing the hell out of them."
"That's my girl!" He commended when he heard a louder moan from her.
"Now repeat the same step for the other nipple." He instructed and she did just that.
"Ready for the next step?" He asked, She nodded. Remembering it was a voice and not a video call, she replied. "Yes, baby." Her breath was heavy.
"Good. Slowly caress your body down to your bikini area. Do it with the imagination of me showering soft kisses all over your body. Do not touch your pussy until I tell you so."
"Okay!" Mia swallowed painfully and got to work. The more she moaned, the more Colton spoke dirty to her which made her moan even more.
"Colt, please!" She said with her chest rising and falling.
"What do you want, my love?" He whispered seductively, trying to act all innocent.

CHAPTER ONE
Standing before the glass-walled window in his office, with his right hand tucked in his pocket and left hand holding his phone to his left ear, Colton Royal made conversations with the person on the other side.
A couple of minutes into the conversation, Colt heard someone enter his office without knocking. He tore his eyes away from the outside view before him, to take a glance at who that was. Upon seeing his younger brother, Caleb, badge into his office with a smirk on his face and both hands in his pockets, Colton threw him a glare, then turned his attention back to his phone call which took a few minutes.
Seeing that his elder brother was on the phone, discussing business, Caleb swallowed his words. He went straight to the visitors' area of the office which was opposite Colton's desk and comfortably took a seat on the couch as though he was the owner of the office. With one leg crossed over the other, he reached for his phone in his jacket pocket and decided to keep himself company with it.
Soon enough, Colt ended the conversation with the person he was discussing with. Turning around, he scoffed when he saw Caleb typing away on his phone with a sly smile on his face. He could bet on his life that his younger brother was chatting with some girl. Some girl who would eventually get her heart broken by Caleb Royal. As far as Colton knew, Caleb switches girlfriends just like the way he changes his shoes. One minute, he's so crazy over a lady, and the next minute, he's giving a million reasons why he's done with her.
Colton's voice came through, making Caleb look up from his phone. "Will you ever learn how to knock?" He said, making his way to his workspace. He placed his phone on the desk, then settled on the chair.
"Sorry bro, I got carried away!" He got up from where he was seated, then went to occupy the chair opposite Colton's desk.
"You give the same excuse every time!"
"C'mon Colt, Don't get all grumpy. We are brothers after all and it's not as if you've got anything to hide." He said without a care in the world.
"I'm the boss and I make the rules. Let this be the last time you come into my office without knocking. And if you know you can't knock, just stay away!"
"Damn, Colton! You're always so serious about everything." Caleb said in distaste.
"Why are you here?" Colt said, reaching for a file in his drawer.
"I came to check up on you. Just to make sure you are still alive and kicking. You work so hard so you need all the moral support you can get."
Colton exhaled. "I'm fine. Anything else?" He said, looking his brother in the eye.
"You want to get rid of me so bad?" Caleb arched a brow at his elder brother.
"Do I find you annoying? Yes, I do. And that's because you purposely do things that get me on the edge. I honestly appreciate you for checking up on me but work needs me now, Caleb" He gestured to the paperwork on his desk.
"So I take it that you're not going for Samantha's party," Caleb said.
"Theodore will kill me if I don't show up for his girlfriend's party. This party is literally what he's been talking about for weeks. I just need about an hour to wrap up what I'm doing. Then I'll be on my way. What about you? You're Sammie's friend. I'm sure she invited you." (Samantha's nickname is Sammie)
"She did but unfortunately, I won't be there. I've got a date tonight." He smiled.
"That's surprising to hear. You're ditching a party full of women for a date. This girl must mean a lot to you."
Caleb chuckled, "Not really. But I'm hoping you would take advantage of tonight. Enjoy yourself and get laid. It will make you less grumpy." He winked at Colt.
"I would never understand why you are so concerned about my private life," Colton said, typing away on the laptop before him.
The next thing Caleb said earned him a nasty glare from Colt. He leaned against his brother's desk and whispered to him. "Are you Gay?"
"Don't give me that look, Colton. I only asked a question." He said as if what he asked was a normal thing and wouldn't upset anyone.
Colton leaned back against the chair, folded his arms, with his eyes trained on Caleb. "What makes you think I'm gay?"
"You've not been in a relationship since Tina dumped you which was like six years ago, you act so indifferent whenever you're around women. You attend so many functions; Your position as the president of Royal empire has given you the opportunity to meet beautiful women of all shapes and sizes. They even go as far as throwing themselves at you and you don't even give them a second glance. How do you manage that if not that you've turned Gay?"
"I've helped Mom and Dad set up blind dates for you but you never showed up. Look, bro, I'm not telling you to get married now or knock up some girl even though Mom and Dad will be ecstatic about that since they are craving for grandkids. You also don't have to be a player like me but at least have fun and live life a little. Well, that's if you aren't gay."
"If you call me that one more time, you're going to regret it." Colton cautioned.
Caleb swallowed his words. Even though he loved to tease his brother, he knew when not to go overboard.
"Sorry if that offended you. I was just curious but I'm glad my suspicion was wrong." He smiled sheepishly.
"You're such a pain in the ass!" Colton scoffed. "I'll assign more responsibility to you. That way, you won't have free time to come to tease me in my office."
"You wouldn't dare!" Caleb glared at his brother. "I may be playful but you of all people should know I take my duties in this company seriously. I work hard and I also party hard. A win-win situation for royal empire and my sanity. You're the one who's being too hard on yourself. It's way past closing hours and you're still burying yourself with work." He gestured to Colton's desk.
"You should get going. You don't want to be late for your date. Do you?"
"You're no fun!" Caleb rolled his eyes as he rose to his feet. "I'll get going but I'm hoping you will make me proud tonight. I promise you a gift if you do. Have a lovely evening, buddy." Caleb smiled at Colt, then helped himself out of the most luxurious office of the building. (Colton's office)
Seeing Caleb shut the door behind him, Colton let out some air to calm himself. "Spoilt brat! He should be encouraging me to work harder instead of mocking me. I'll definitely add to his workload so he won't have time to tease me anymore." Colt mumbled, going back to work.
The next two hours were very productive for Colt. Seeing that it was almost 9 pm, he decided to call it a day. Since he was attending a party tonight and would probably get home late, he didn't bother to take any file home to work on. He reached for his essential items, then exited the office.
Stepping into his penthouse, Colton went straight to the bathroom. It took him only a couple of minutes to take a shower and dress up.Soon enough, he was at the venue. 'Royal Restaurant, Lounge & Bar' One of the empires owned by Colton's family. They were in no way related to royalty in the literal sense but their financial status and family's reputation had earned them that status in the contemporary world.The family owned hotels and restaurants with different branches in almost all the states in America. They were into real estate, they owned a winery as well as other investments.The down floor of the big building was where the reception and restaurant were. The restaurant extended to the second floor. One had to make a reservation for at least a week be
"I have no idea what's going on with you or what's going through your head but I believe we have things to discuss. And I give you my word that I'm not going to hurt you." With that being said, Colton continued to lead the way, not letting go of her hand.They eventually got to the fifth floor and came to a halt before a room. Colton took out a key card from his pocket and opened the door. Once they were both in, he purposely did not lock the door so as not to freak the mysterious lady out."Why were you spying on me?" He asked bluntly."I wasn't." She responded immediately."Oh really?" Colton countered. He had always been a very watchful individual. Even though he had never wronged anyone on purpose, h
The way her shoulders were shaking, Colt could tell she was still crying. He could also hear her faint sobs.He sighed, went over to the bar corner in the room, and poured some alcohol into a glass cup. He picked up the cup and approached the lady. He saw that she had already helped herself with some tissue from the box that was beside her. She wiped her tears."Did Chris by any chance ever lay a hand on you?" He asked, looking into her eyes sincerely. From all that he heard from her, he wouldn't be surprised if he was abusive to her.She shook her head."I hope you're not covering up for him," Colt said, not trusting her reply."He wasn't
"Why did you stop me?" She asked."You expect me to let go of you? For heaven's sake Mia, not everyone will be as nice as me. You could be taken advantage of.""I'm prepared for whatever consequences this night will yield.""Gosh, woman! Why are you this desperate?""Because it's the only way I can move on. If you aren't going to give in, just let me go. There's no need to worry about me. I promise, I'll be fine."Colton cupped her face in his hands. "We just met today? Don't you find it weird for us to jump on each other?"She shook her head. "Haven't you had a one-ni
Satisfied with how he pleasured her chest area, Colt picked Mia up in a bridal style and gently placed her on the king-sized bed. Seeing he was about to undress himself, She got down from the bed and decided to do so for him. Taking off his shirt, Mia began drooling. He was muscular; his upper body was screaming perfection. He had perfect abs which she wanted to badly run her fingers over. He also has two tattoos. One in his chest area, just right above his left breast. It was a simple alphabet tattoo with the initials CRJ. The other one was by his left rib. It was a beautiful flowery tattoo. Mia couldn't help but think it fit him perfectly. Without waiting for approval, She began tracing kisses on him, starting from his chest area. "Did this hurt?" S
Colton Royal finally opened his eyes after a very long sleep. He felt a pang in his chest upon seeing the empty space beside him. The last thing he remembered before they fell asleep was him and Mia, cuddling in a spooning position. Colt sat up on the bed, he took a glance at the room but saw no trace of Mia or any of her clothing. It was just his clothes that were on the floor. Beyond disappointed, he rose to his feet (naked since he slept naked) and went in the direction of the bathroom. Colton opened the door but saw no one. He slammed the bathroom door then left for the minibar area where he poured himself some alcohol which he gulped down at a go. Colt refilled the cup. He proceeded to the bedside and sat on the edge of the bed. He sighed, ran a hand through his messy hair
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Mia asked her best friend, Hailey."I rushed down here when I heard that douchebag broke up with you. I had envisioned you to be in your worst state but you seem okay and I don't know if I should be concerned.""Chris meant the world to you. You even loved him more than you love me, your best friend. You would sacrifice anything for him in a heartbeat!"Mia took two scoops of her vanilla ice cream before responding to Hailey who was seated beside her. "You should have seen me yesterday after the breakup. With the way I was crying, you would have thought my loved one just died. Last night, I was fortunate to have come across someone who made me realize I deserve better than Chris."
Stepping into his penthouse, Colton's phone buzzed in his pocket. Reaching for it, he saw that it was his Mom. He sighed, then tossed his phone on a nearby table. He proceeded to the kitchen for a bottle of water. By the time he returned to the living room, his phone had stopped ringing.Opening the cap of the bottle, he gulped down some water. His phone ran again. It was his Mom. Putting the bottle on the table, he reached for the phone and answered the call."Hi Mom""Hi, Baby. How are you?""I'm fine, Mom. How's Dad?" He asked, taking a seat on a nearby couch."Good to hear. Your Dad is fine. He's in the study making some calls. W
Colton excused himself to go take a shower and when he was done, he joined his family in the home theater room. They all cuddled on the very comfy chair with a blanket over them. Mia and Colt were at the edge and the twins were in the middle as they watched some cartoons.The two precious jewels fell asleep in about an hour. After watching them sleep for a couple of minutes, both parents carried them to bed. Colton carried Chloe while Mia carried Claire. They tucked them in and placed kisses on their foreheads.Though Chloe and Claire shared the same room, they had their own beds which were on the opposite sides of the room.Colton approached Mia where She stood and circled his arms possessively around her from behind.
Epilogue!Four years later!"Mommy, when is Daddy coming back? I miss him so much." Chloe whined as Mia braided her hair. The little girl was seated on the stool in her cute vanity area."Yes, Mommy. I miss Daddy too. I want to watch cartoons with him and I want him to tuck me to bed." Claire, who was seated on the edge of her princess-sized bed, with half of her attention on the iPad in her hand, spoke.Mia playfully rolled her eyes at her children's clinginess. "But you both talked to Daddy about an hour ago when I came back from work," She said, doing the finishing touches of Chloe's hair.Colton called earlier to let Mia know that something came up at work so h
The Wedding Day! Colton Royal's POV I haven't stopped smiling since I woke up this morning. This is a day I've been looking forward to and I'm glad it's finally here. I honestly can't wait for the moment the love of my life and I will be pronounced Man and Wife. "I promised myself that I'm not going to cry today. But it's just so hard to keep my word." I heard my mother say as she walked into the room I was, bringing me out of my thoughts. I smiled, turning my full attention to the woman who I adore so much. "Hi mom, you look so beautiful." I kissed her cheek, then hugged her. She was all dressed up for the wedding which should be starting in a couple of minutes.
The whole family bonded for a couple of minutes and after a while, Colton excused himself, taking Mia with him."I have something to show you.""You promised no more gifts until our wedding night," Mia mumbled with her hand around his waist.Colton chuckled, placing a kiss on the side of her forehead. "I don't know if it's a gift but here you go." They came to a stop in front of a door and then he encouraged her to open up.She hesitated for a while, looking at him suspiciously, but she eventually opened up."Surpriseeeeeeee!" The very familiar voices came through. Mia almost teared up as she stepped into the room filled with her fam
5 Months Later!Even though it was Mia's wedding, Colton made sure she never stressed about anything.Well, it wasn't like she could do much from New York anyways. Even though Colton had people take care of all of the preparations, he made sure Mia was consulted before any decision was made. He wanted to give her her dream wedding so her approval mattered in every damn detail."They are so well behaved." Victoria smiled proudly, looking down at Chole who was in her arms, and at Claire who was in Mia's arms. They fell asleep a couple of minutes ago.She and Mia were seated beside each other on the private jet. While her husband and Colton were seated not too far away, discussing.
While Mia and the twins were getting cleaned up, Colton went out to give his parents the good news. He had called his Mom before he took Mia to the hospital around 8 pm and despite the fact that it was way past midnight, they were still here.His brother Caleb, and Ashley were also here. They all rose to their feet when Colton approached them."How's Mia and my Grandbabies?" Vicky asked, the worry was evident in her voice and face.Colton smiled. "Mia is fine. Your granddaughters are fine too."Vicky started tearing up. "Granddaughters?"Colton nodded."Oh my God, Cong
The birth of the Royal Babies!No matter how much Colton Royal prepared himself for this day and what to expect, he came to realize that no amount of preparation was enough for what he was actually experiencingHe thought Mia's accident which happened months ago was the scariest day of his life. But today's happenings replaced that thought. He felt so useless standing by his woman, doing nothing but holding her hand, encouraging her to push, and showering kisses all over her sweaty face.Words couldn't describe how pained Colton was to see the love of his life in pain. He wished there was a way he could share in her pain.Despite how heavy Colton's eyes were with tears, he was determined not to let them fall because he wan
The soon-to-be parents spent all of Saturday morning making up for the times that they were apart. Colt surprised Mia with breakfast in bed, they cuddled, made love, made conversations, had a video call with the decorator in charge of their new home which was almost ready by the way and they took an hour nap before their lunch date.Even though Colton owned a couple of restaurants across the states, he loved to explore other restaurants too and they were always happy to have him over.Colt and Mia occupied the VIP section of the five-star restaurant. They wined, dined, and made conversations.Since Theodore insisted that Colton and Mia should be at his place by 4, the two love birds left the restaurant at some minutes to 4 pm. In about 15 minutes, they arri
Mia was beyond overwhelmed where she was seated. She felt nothing but guilt and gratitude. Guilt because she allowed her mood swings to tamper with her relationship with Colt and gratitude because despite how bitchy she had been to him, he was still fighting for her against the woman who made her feel less of herself.Colton went back to where he was previously seated. "Look Babe, you mean the world to me than any fucking job or partnership. If you had told me you weren't comfortable with me and Debbie working together, I would have disregarded the deal.""I was told Joel was the one coming down to New York to finalize everything but it turned out to be Debbie, his wife. We had a business dinner after which I escorted her to the car. She was going to kiss me on the cheek but I wasn't looking and it landed on my lips. But
