My fingers find themselves wrapped up in his collar, and I smash my mouth on his, he is obviously stunned, as I had ambushed him the second he walked through the door, I had waited, not to so patiently, rocking myself away from my thoughts. I didn’t think it through before he came, although I needed a distraction, one that would numb me from even the slightest thing. His hands came alive, but it wasn’t to deepen the kiss as I had wanted, he pushed me away from him, gently, but I fight back, turning the kiss into something more hurried and more frenzied. He pushes me away, this time firmer. I let out a scream of frustration when he finally frees himself of me, pacing away from him and running my fingers through my hair, I tug on it. “Why would you do that? Why? Now isn’t the time to be a priest, I need you.” I cover the distance between us again,I whisper leaning in, “Desperately.”He takes a step back, his expression tight with pain, “You know I can’t...”“Fuck that! I know you d
“Your father was also a priest?”He looked at me from the driver’s side, before returning his eyes to the road. I stare at him with the new information swirling in my head.“Books hardly ever lie, don’t you think?”I snort at that but return my eyes to the well aged pages in front of my eyes, I didn’t get to read much back at the church, he had an impromptu meeting with Father Bernard and I had to change the entire schedule for the the day. “Bad news, Father Bernard has urgent work out of town, and he has asked me to fill in for him until then.”I had murmured a great deal, didn’t help my case, so I moved to his assistant’s office and got his schedule, she was old and going deaf so communication was almost impossible, I had to find it myself on her table. It seemed everybody hated the use of computers, and loved to pile papers on their desks. “We are here.” he announced pulling the car into the driveway.“No!!!!!! I was just about to read the part where you asked him about your mom
I laugh so hard at the statement, clenching my sides as I did. I laughed because of how incredibly difficult it has been trying to sleep with him, and someone here seems to think I already did. What a grave overestimation? By the time my laughter subsides, and I am wiping tears from the corners of my eyes, I find them looking ashamed and uncomfortable. “I’m sorry, it sounded so ridiculous that’s all. Where did you hear this?” I ask the last part through clenched teeth.“Oh, it was one of our cleaners, said she saw both of you entering your home together.”I smile tightly, “Please listen carefully and pass this information along, he is my landlord, when I came into town I stayed at a hotel, before renting his place, only to find out a lot of things were not working anymore, and he has been helping me fix them for free.” They looked even more ashamed at this, good, let them feel shame, better than ruining his career over this. I lean forward, so that they knew I meant business, wip
I let out an awkward chuckle and extracted myself from his hug, his family had excited and expectant smiles on their faces.“I am here for work, Father Aryan, please lead the prayer for the departed.” I give him a tight smile, and I can see a thousand questions in his eyes, a million emotions in them. Great. “Oh, yes please, close your eyes everyone.” Mrs Logan commanded as they are trickle around her, forming a circle. Aryan led the prayers, and I felt safe enough to breath as the pain meds started to kick in, and when I turn, I lock eyes with Victor who was beaming at me. Goosebumps cover my entire body, and not even the good kind. Victor always creeped the shit out of me, like why was he doing that right now? Especially when his family had their eyes shut. I always found his doting cute, and beneficial so I agreed to go on a date with him once, the whole time he straight up worshiped me, he took my words as the final say, you might say that was supposed to be a good thing, but
I stare at him long and hard, no hint of what he just said on his features. He did not look how I felt, pulse racing, pussy dripping, mouth watering. He looked too calm and composed. “You really have to stop doing that.” I tell him.“Doing what?”My eyes narrow at the innocent blinking he was doing, “Saying stuff that you know I want to hear, stuff that has my palm sweating in anticipation, and then pretending like you said nothing at all.” He says nothing, not surprisingly. I roll my eyes and settle into my seat, thinking about Victor and that crazy look in his eye. How did I manage to run into him? “Did you sleep with victor?”The question is so out of nowhere, that I have to sit up and look t his face if he meant to ask that, no preamble. “Why is that your business?”“Is it not?”“It definitely isn’t. You are literally just my boss.”“I thought I was your friend.”That stuns me and leaves me and the rest of the ride to the pub, silent. I did it, I became his friend, now that
We all can agree that I had a long day, so when I was finished from the bank, I went straight home, skipped dinner but had a nice warm bath and settled into bed. I know you must be wondering what Aryan’s response was to my baiting, the priest did not ignore me this time, he muttered, “Maybe I will.” Under his breath, and I played his part, by pretending he did not say that, because if he wants to do something about it, I should have no say in it. Anyway, I was cuddled up in bed, with his journal that I hadn’t finished reading yet, my eyes at the pages that tween Aryan wrote. Even at such a young age his writing was great, he explained things his father had said to him in explicit detail, giving us a window into his childhood. His father much like my parents, never laid a hand on him, but acted like he should be grateful he was hitting him with words instead. Poor tween Aryan usually went days without food, but his father had the money to take proper care of him, he just would not
“Do you think there’s any chance he is looking for us for a job well done?”I scoff as I emerge from underneath his table, he had been tapping his leg when his boss was here, I had held it in place, whilst giving him a massage to soothe his nerves, he ended up having a boner. “Asides my parents, I was disliked by a lot of adults, and that sounded like a disgruntled boss, not the rewarding boss.” I tell him while straightening my jacket. “What kind of things did you do to end up like that?”I smirk and shrug, “All kinds of stuff, now, I believe you are stalling to lose that boner before we get there.” “And you and your pretty little mouth isn’t helping.” he says shutting his eyes with a groan.“I see you thought about Tim had said. I bet you imagined all night, my mouth around your...” I don’t get to finish the statement, his palm slapped across my mouth. His eyes were dark, I smirk from behind his palm,“Don’t complete that.” he says looking down at the growing boner.I gently pry
“You hate it.” I say with realization.He frowns at me, his brows almost touching, even with a frown on his face he still looked extremely beautiful. I shook my head, this was not the time to get distracted by his beauty. “What?”“You hate being a priest, you absolutely despise it, you don’t want to do it, so why?”The frown lines disappear, he had a guarded expression on his face. I peer into his eyes, trying to find what exactly he was trying to keep close to him. “I love being a priest.” he winces slightly at his obvious lie.“If you were going to lie, you should not be so terrible at the lie, especially since you were lying to a liar.” He says nothing and resumes going through the papers in front of him, ignoring me and the daggers I was staring into him. “Painting the pub comes next, it was a commitment you made on your own, don’t miss it.” I tell him, pick up my bag and everything that belonged to me, before leaving. Not knowing where to go next, since I did not exactly hav
Our lips meet in a slow, tantalizing kiss, his cold plump lips against my own moved as I tilt my head as he cupped the back of my head, the kiss was my answer, and the response to my answer, I felt everything he felt in that moment, and I could not help but smile against his lips. When we finally pull apart, we stare into each other’s eyes, the feelings we had for each other forming a safety bubble around us. He smiles,tucking a lock of hair behind my ear, I smile shyly against the back of his hand. “Wait, this was not what I signed up for.” Evan groaned from where he had started to get comfortable.I groan, covering my eyes with my palm, his flaccid dick in his hand was not what I wanted to see. “Go somewhere else, can’t you see a sweet moment is happening right now?”Evan complained as he tucked himself back into his pants, grunting as he did,“There is good news for you Evan, and you too.” Aryan tells us, and taps me lightly on the nose when he does.I turn to face him again, my
Exactly a week after I opened the can of worms, and thwarted his father’s plans, Aryan finally cracked a smile. It was like the burden of the world finally lifted from my shoulders, I was sure tears stained the corners of my eyes after I saw that. The first few days after he found out, he found the lawyer himself, made sure to hear it from the lawyer himself, I made sure to go with him, and when he let out another strangled cry, and a hoarse sardonic laugh, I watched all of it, my heart breaking for the man in front of me. “I should have known he would do this, I should have expected it, he played me for a fool.” he whispered harshly.“But now you know, you don’t lose any more, if you quit now, you have nothing to owe the man, and you win.” I tell him every time, he would nod but with the far away look in his eyes, I knew he wasn’t listening to me. He did not eat the first day, he only went to bed in the hotel I booked for both of us, he would not return to the apartment the churc
“What kind of nonsense...?” Evan could not complete his statement, he was rifling through the papers Mr Kitler had handed him, his eyes growing wider with shock with each sentence he read, I knew it had to be bad if Evan reacted like that. Mr Kitler scoffed,“That wacko hated his son. I cannot wait to be done with it.” Were his parting words, he took the money Evan paid with him, not even turning back once before slipping into the crowd. Danny and I almost trip over ourselves rushing towards the table where Evan sat alone, deep lines digging into his forehead as he went through the sheets of paper. “Son of a bitch.” he cussed under his breath,I swallow, my worry doubling until it was the size of a horse, galloping around my chest, “Is it that bad?”“Very bad, all of the wealth he seemed to have, all of it were loans of some sort, he just went around accumulating them, and left them all to him.” there was visible anger in his posture, but he was not as angry as I was. How dare he?
“Why aren’t you going after him? I already did the hard part.” Evan asked when I collapsed into his sofa, right after we found him.I chew on my lips, thoughts rushing through my mind at the speed of light, each one too pointing in the same direction, he was going to up and leave me again, right where I stood after going to find him. I always knew he was materialistic, I just had to find a way to beat his father’s properties, without that, he was going to continually slip from my grasp. “Help me one more time Evan, help me find his father’s lawyer, and his father’s will, it doesn’t matter what you have to do to find it, just do.” Evan stared at me for a long time, as if trying to decode the hidden meaning in what I just asked of him, and when he found that I was serious, he nods once and goes to press certain keys on the keypad in front of him. My eyes strayed to the blinking red dot that was his location. I will come to you, in the meantime, just be safe and wait for me.“What do
“Most precious Melanie,I wish I knew how to start a letter, I almost didn’t, and that is ironic considering I write for a living. Anyway, I am sorry to have done this to you, unfortunately, being in your presence makes me forget all of the terrible things my father did to me, I want to forgive him and move on when I am with you, forget being a priest and be fully and utterly yours, but how can I? He deserves to roll in his grave forever when he sees me using his hard earned wealth, I cannot have him laughing at me forever. With that, I am deeply sorry about that, I am deeply sorry to have done this to you, it is shitty and I cannot wrap my head around it, but I ask that you forget this shitty person and move on with your life. Whilst I am certain that there is nobody else who can match your crazy, I am certain that there is a better man for you out there, Victor loves you a whole lot, you should give him a chance. I am afraid I cannot take the car with me, I love it with all of my
That must have been the best sleep of my life since I did not even stir when he pulled away from me. It was not until I was awake, that was when I realized the other side of the bed was empty. “Aryan?” I call out sweetly, imagining he was outside the bedroom door making breakfast for me.Oh, how lucky I was, the man I loved, loved me, I could not help the giggles that spilled out of me, the leg flapping too, it was almost embarrassing, but who cares? We did not even sleep together but it was very possibly the best sleep I ever had. I pat down my hair, combing out the knots with my fingers as I try to look presentable for him, using my phone as my mirror, I find crusted saliva at the corner of my mouth, cussing, I rush to the the bathroom to wash my face. It was only when I get out that I realize, the house was too quiet, there would have been pots and pans clanking together if he was making me breakfast like I thought. Checking the time on my phone, I find it was few minutes past
“You lied to me? Why?” My voice was oddly calm when I find him in his office.I drove here like a crazy person, praying and wishing with all of my heart that he was not in the office as they had said, I prayed that they were the ones lied to, or lying, I did not want to be lied to, especially not by him. “You did it all the time, lying I mean.”“You were the one person I consistently told the truth, I did not lie to you, so answer me damn it! Why did you lie to me? Why did you say you were out of town?” He sighed before getting out of his seat,“Let us not do this in here, follow me.” he tells me as he led the way to his apartment, I follow him, silently fuming, at him and at myself, since my heart was still swooning at the sight of him. “I think we should stop doing this.” he tells me when we get to the safety of his home.I stare at him with confusion as memories of what happened between us the last time I was here threatened to over shadow what was going on in the present. “W
“You are positively glowing.” Danny compliments when I open the door for her on Sunday morning. “Must be from all of that orgasm.” she tells herself as she stepped into the house.“You sound cranky, possibly because of the lack of orgasms?” I tell her, sipping my mango juice. She narrowed her eyes at me before sighing, “I had too much to drink and Rita spent the entire night holding my hair out of her toilet bowl, to say I would never show my face around her anymore is an understatement.” she cried.I wince, feeling sorry for Rita, and being grateful that I was not in Rita’s shoes. Now that I think about it, I sniff the air, and there was a lingering smell of booze coming from her, she must have been drunk, drunk. “I was luckier, since I had no chance of sleeping, until I snuck out early this morning. And do you know what he told me? He said I should not bother coming to work today, and I could spend the entire day in bed. Isn’t he the sweetest?” I sigh wistfully. “Please, do rub
“I want to leave now.” was all he said, but it had me moving, I was out of the door and in my car before I knew what was happening, Tim chuckled when he saw us moving out of the door together, he shook his head and promised he was going to lock up. Driving never felt so nerve wrecking, he said nothing and I say nothing as well, nothing I say right now would be appropriate, I mean, what do you say after that? “My apartment.” he says,I murmur an agreement but disappointment pools in my gut, I had imagined he wanted to go to my place, who was I kidding? He didn’t love me, I was obviously in over my head. “Why aren’t you coming out?” he asks, breaking my internal monologue, when I look up, he was standing outside my door, the door he had already opened whilst I was drowning inside my head. “Oh, I didn’t... Bernard is back..”“It is late, he should be asleep by now, besides, he has no right to say anything about it.” he says with his hand outstretched for me to take. Gingerly, I reac
