Cameron sipped his coffee as he peered at her over the mug.

She pushed a plate of cookies towards him and sat across from him, pouring herself a cup of coffee.

“You know, when you asked me to come over, I presumed Scarlett would be here.”

Clarissa shrugged, “If I had told you it was only me, would you have come?”

“Let me see, the other time you salted my cookies but you also helped me score some points...” He paused, “Sometimes unknowingly, other times very intentionally...”

She chuckled.

“I would have come, but I’d still have hesitated to eat your cookies.”

She reached forward, took a piece from his plate, and ate it, “See... it’s fine.”

He took a piece and when he bit into it, it took everything in him not to grunt out loud in satisfaction, “Perfect.”

“I know.”

“So, we’re here to talk about Scarlett, behind her back?”

She smiled, “Something like that.”

“Scarlett has been happy of late, really happy...” She glanced at him, “And as her mother who loves her to death, I shoul

    “Cameron,”“Scarr, you look so fucking hot,” he said in a deep raspy voice.“You said it was an official event…”He looked around, “This is official.”“We are wearing evening dresses; this is an event hall!” she exclaimed.He took one long look at her, his eyes lingering on her cleavage, “Yes, I can see you’re wearing an evening dress and you look bloody fucking hot in it.”She gritted her teeth, “That’s not the point.”“Isn’t it?” he asked with a smirk, “On a serious note, this is as official as an event can get. It is an annual charity gala where pretentious rich snobs can come together to contribute to one cause or another. There’s no express rule, but it is quite important to show up,” he explained.“There are a lot of people here,” she glanced around, a look of panic in her eyes. She bit down on her lower lip nervously, “This is a gala, there’s going to be dining, dancing…” Her eyes widened in alarm, “Every

    Her eyes frantically scanned the crowd, looking for the tall, handsome man in a black tuxedo. It might have been a vague description, but there was no one as handsome as Cameron. She noticed that, unlike everyone else, he didn’t have that over-the-top, prim and proper look. At first, when she met him, she thought his hair was slightly overgrown, until she realized he liked it that way. He didn’t walk around with his chest puffed up, exuding a false sense of importance like others did. It was a simple walk, yet every time he approached her, he made her weak in the knees. Feeling a hand at the small of her back, she spun around and stopped herself just in time before letting out a yelp. There he was, standing behind her. He pulled her closer by the waist, leaned forward, and sniffed her neck. She froze still. His eyes were swirling with emotions, emotions she could not identify at first glance. “Cameron,” she whispered and glanced around. “People are watching.” His hands pulled her

    She swallowed hard and let out a sigh, her body betrayed her by revealing how aroused she was. Her cheeks reddened when he looked up at her, a small smirk formed on his lips. Her whole body was lush with lust, there was a tingling at the center of her core, her nipples were hard from the cold air and from being exposed. His hands moved painstakingly in a slow pace along her neck, down to her collarbone and stopped just before her breasts, his fingers wandered down to her nipples as he watched them harden before his eyes, “They’re bigger than I remember,” he commented, there was no denying the tinge of amusement in his voice. She bit down on her lower lip and lowered her gaze, her cheek turned red. What did you answer to that? Thank you? He lifted her chin so she was eye-level with him, he tucked away strands of hair from her face. She shivered at the spark of electricity that coursed through her body where he touched her, s

    He grabbed one of her breasts and began to knead her nipples. He turned his attention to the other breast and gave it the same attention. He latched on to a nipple and suckled, tugging at it. She arched her back, wanting more, needing more. He reached forward and unhooked the restraints, “Hands and knees,” he said and then spanked her ass, “Your ass to me.” She saw his eyes light up when her ass jiggled, and just like she thought, he did it again and again. She did as she was told, got to her knees, her ass high up in the air, She looked over her shoulders, and stole glances at him.He reached for the leather cuff, and fastened it to her hands. She laid with her face on the bed, her arms stretched out on each side of her. He moved behind her, gripped her ass and spread her wide, “Look at me, Scarr,” he said in that deep baritone voice. She turned to look at him, those intense grey eyes staring b

    Scarlett stirred in her sleep as golden sun rays streamed through the tall glass windows. She let out a relaxed sigh and stretched, loving the feel of the silk sheets against her skin. Pulling the blankets over her, she snuggled tightly. Opening her eyes, she slowly adjusted to the lighting in the room and turned around to see his stormy grey eyes staring back at her, grinning from ear to ear as he held Levi in his arms.He watched her silently, a pleased smirk on his face. He had the most pleasant sleep he had had in a long time. It was relaxing, yet he had woken up early just to watch her sleep. She was a sight to behold, her hair sprawled across the pillow, the blankets barely covering her naked body. She looked like a doll, with creamy pale skin, long lashes framing her shut eyelids, and plump lips upturned in what resembled a smile. He could feel his cock harden in his pants; he wanted her again. He knew it before, but staring at her in this moment was all the confirma

    Scarlett scooped the last bit of bacon into the bowl and took it to the dining table. Miss Sharma helped her set the table.“Levi has already had breakfast this morning, so you don’t have to worry about him,” Miss Sharma reassured Scarlett.Scarlett smiled at her, “Thank you, Miss Sharma. You take such good care of him. If you weren’t here, I’d have lost my mind worrying about him, being so far away and all…”Miss Sharma smiled sheepishly, “He is an amazing boy.”Scarlett nodded, “Thank you so much.”“He should be done with his bath any moment now,” Miss Sharma replied.Scarlett thought for a moment, “I’d go for a walk with him afterward, on the grounds, truly see this place…” She paused to think about the first tour she had. She had been way too in her head about Cameron walking beside her shirtless that she didn’t take the moment to appreciate the mansion. Although she didn’t think it would be any different, what with last nigh

    What’s your name again? Jane? Karen?" Scarlett shot up to her feet and tucked her hair behind her ear. She had been too engrossed in her work, she didn’t hear her walk in. “My name is Scarlett.” Hadley smiled at her, flashing pearly white teeth. “Don’t mind me, I can’t remember basic.” She glanced at the door. Hadley turned around. “Oh, are you looking out for him?” She shook her head. “Cameron is not here. There’s no one here to come to your defense this time. It’s just you and me.” “Why are you here?” She blurted out in a shaky voice. Hadley was pacing about in the office, and then she stopped in her tracks. “I’m here to talk.” Scarlett exhaled. “About?” “Cameron,” Hadley answered. She saw the look in her eyes. “I didn’t miss how your eyes lit up when I mentioned him, so there’s something...” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Now don’t act coy with me, Scarlett.” Hadley lightly chuckled. “Don’t pretend you’re not taken by him.

    Scarlett pulled the fluffy blanket tightly around her shoulders, her blue eyes shimmered, their color intensified by the bloodshot whites. She tightened her folded arms until she was practically holding herself. Clarissa peered at her, a look of worry in her eyes, “Do you want to talk about it?” She wiped frantically at her cheeks, her lips trembled, “It’s her, I know it’s her.” She fished for her phone and began talking aggressively, “It reads like her, the words in this article were the exact words she used when she spoke to me back at the office.” Clarissa took the phone from her and scrolled through; it was pictures of Scarlett and Cameron, hand in hand leaving the charity gala. There was a small article referring to her as “The other woman.” “Everyone at the office read it, they were whispering behind my back. They all know, and it’s only a matter of time until they find out about Levi, and when they do, I won’t hear t

    Lucious arrived fashionably late, as always, for Mrs. Grayson’s birthday celebration. Through no fault of his own, his flight had been delayed. He rushed in when the party was already underway, grabbed a glass of champagne, and blended in with the merry crowd. His eyes searched the room for familiar faces, and then he spotted her: Scarlett Knowles.She looked beautiful in the blue and white floral dress she was wearing. He rushed towards her, grabbed her shoulders from behind, and exclaimed, “Hello, Scarlett!”She turned around sharply, her eyes widening in excitement. “Lucious! You got here late. I was beginning to think you wouldn’t come anymore!”He rolled his eyes. “I had the most hectic flight, you won’t believe it…” He let out a big exhale and fanned himself with his hands. “The flight got delayed, and we encountered some difficulties on the way here. I should have just listened to Mr. King's advice and flown private…”Scarlett gave him a knowing gaze. “Mr. King, huh?”Lucious g

  • Entangled with the Billionaire    Happy birthday!

    “Happy birthday to you...” Everyone's voices rose together in a slightly off-key rendition of "Happy Birthday."Belinda beamed, glowing as her family and friends sang together for her. They were all gathered at a hall in the resort. Her birthday celebration was a small, cozy event. At the end of the rendition, everyone stepped forward to personally wish her a happy birthday and hug her.Her husband, Mr. Grayson walked up to her, beaming with smiles. He opened a jewelry box and revealed a diamond necklace. “I had one especially made just for you, there’s only one special gem, just like you...” He leaned close and kissed the top of her head.There were a lot of "aww's" from the crowd.She shut her eyes. “Thank you, my love.”Her grandchildren, Loretta and Levi, had brought gifts for her: handmade cards and letters. It was the cutest thing. Levi’s gifts were mostly illegible scribblings, while Loretta’s were more meaningful, but she loved and appreciated every one of them.Cameron and Va

    Vanessa walked into the lounge, her hands folded across her chest, “Cameron! Cameron!” She yelled aloud as she walked in.He rolled his eyes, “Nessa, it says relaxing lounge for a reason,” he gestured towards the sign at the door.She glanced at it and back at her scruffy-looking brother, “Yes, I can see that it clearly says relaxing lounge and has a no alcohol policy so what’s that about?” she pointed at the half-full bottle of whisky by his side.He exhaled, “Does it matter? We bought out the whole place. The rules don’t apply anymore.”She walked up to him, “I don’t think that’s how rules work, but you’ve never been one to abide by any rule ever, so I can’t say I’m surprised.”He groaned, the last thing, okay maybe not the last thing. The second to last thing he wanted to hear was his sister’s bickering. The last thing was definitely his mother's voice chiding him for something, “What are you here for, Vanessa?”She gave him a long look. He lay on the couch, his hair overgrown, spo

    Cameron bit down on his lips, liking the way she called out his name softly. It made him rock hard. “I want to bend you over right now, right here, and make love to you until your body shakes in excitement. I’d like to hear you cry out my name as you beg me to make love to you, knowing no other man will ever give you pleasure like I would, knowing it will never be enough…”Scarlett let out a small squeak. He spun her around until she was facing him and pulled her close. Her breasts were pressed up against him, almost spilling out of her dress. He stared at them with a burning look of desire in his eyes.Jaxon was fuming where he stood. Somewhere in the middle of the song, he had stopped pretending like he wanted to dance. He just stopped and stared at them. His hands were clenched into fists. Cameron’s hands were roaming, whispering into Scarlett’s ears, and she looked like she was enjoying it, every bit of it. Her eyes were shut, and she was leaning into Cameron. She had no fear for

    It was going to be fun, alright! Cameron gulped down two more shots, loving the burn of the liquid as it trickled down his throat. This was what he needed. He turned around to leave. Jaxon finalized their order before he left.Cameron was only halfway towards Scarlett and Hadley when a familiar song came on the speakers. He stopped in his tracks to listen, his lips curling into a small smile. He looked up to meet those bright blue eyes staring at him with flushed cheeks. He knew exactly what she was thinking about at the moment. He walked up to her and grabbed her, “Shall I have the first dance, Scarr?”Scarlett looked around in worry.Hadley opened her mouth in protest, “Cam—”“Oh, it’s only an old-fashioned dance, love,” he cut in. “It will be good for us, remember?” he used her exact words against her.Hadley frowned.“What the hell, man?” Jaxon protested when he saw Cameron was holding hands with her.Cameron spun around to face Jaxon, still holding onto her. “Oh, it’s only a danc

    As they got out of the car, Hadley leaned forward, cupped his cheeks, and kissed him, “This will be good for us.”Cameron stared at her hesitantly.“I promise.” She leaned into him, grabbed his hand, and put it around her waist, “You’ve been stuck up all day, overthinking, worrying...” She pulled at his cheeks, “You’re beginning to have worry lines. You’re in need of a good rest…”He gave her a look.She burst into soft laughter, “Yes, you need rest and you’ll rest later tonight. You’re also in need of some fun. I don’t think you have enjoyed any bit of our trip here. You can’t keep wallowing in your problems, let loose and let’s party!”He glanced at the neon flashing sign; it read Club Dazzle. They had driven a long way to find the club. Apparently, it was a hotspot for tourists. He could easily blend in without being noticed, and maybe that was what he needed. A night without Scarlett, a wild night drinking and dancing might just be enough to stop thinking about her. He hardly beli

    Jaxon peered into the room with a frown on his face, “Are you sure the petals are enough?” he asked.The young brunette girl nodded, “There isn’t a lot to work with here. The twin-sized beds don't really help..."” She trailed off.His frown deepened, “Have you checked with the staff? Are there no available rooms?”She nodded, “This resort is fully booked by the Graysons. The neighboring lodges are fully booked at this time of year. The nearest hotel room is two hours away…”Damn you, Cameron! Jaxon cursed under his breath. His plans to take Scarlett to bed were getting frustrating each and every day. He hated sleeping next to her yet unable to touch her. She usually slept with her back to him and a blanket covering her head. It was like she was taking extra care to get further away from him as she possibly could. There were no other rooms available, and he had no car to make the two-hour journey.He had to improvise and make do with what he had. He couldn’t continue to hold back, it w

  • Entangled with the Billionaire    Behind Locked Doors

    Cameron stepped out for a walk, and this time he truly needed the time alone and the fresh air. He needed to settle with his thoughts and clear his head. He had walked for a long distance, without his phone or his headphones, and then a thought hit him, Levi! He had been so caught up in his life falling apart; he hadn’t given his son much thought. He walked straight to the suite he shared with Ms. Sharma, and to his amazement, Scarlett was there.She stared wide-eyed at him when he walked in. She was sitting on the bed, with Levi in her arms. Ms. Sharma was giggling about something she said; she stopped when she saw him.Cameron took in her appearance. She was wearing a pale pink robe, her hair was tied up in a messy bun atop her head. Her suite was not far from Levi’s, so she had probably made a quick stop. He had hoped to catch her alone since the first day he spotted her at the airport. He had memorized a long list of questions he hoped to ask her when he did, m

    Hadley stared at her reflection in the mirror, her blonde hair styled to perfection and cascading in waves down her back. She reapplied her bright red lipstick and admired her reflection in the mirror. She had on lacy lingerie that left next to nothing to the imagination. Of course, it was bright red lingerie. Red was Cameron's favorite color, something she had learned only a few hours ago, which was pathetic. But she wasn’t going to put herself down, not today. Today was great, she and Cameron had gotten a lot closer. She had half-expected him to push her off when she started kissing him earlier, but he didn’t. He let her, all of that in front of Scarlett. She would be dumb not to get the message that Cameron was hers and hers alone.As if on cue, the doors opened, and he walked in. He froze and stared at her. For some unexplainable reason, she was unnerved by his piercing stare. She had done this a couple of times. She was a model, being seductive was her job. S
