He moved to the sink to fill the glass.
"Well, I hate to put anything to waste. Anything at all, especially when that thing could be useful," she said, licking her lips like she was tasting it.
"Damn, you really would enjoy that, won't you?" He said as he moved back to the bed to offer her the water.
"Hmmm hmmm," she purred. Looking at him seductively from beneath her lashes as she stretched her hands slowly to take the glass from him.
"You are thirsty, ain't you? He asked.
"You bet, very thirsty" she replied with a hot look that made Ayo almost lose it.
"We have to get some water in you then."
He moved the water out of her reach and drank it, keeping some in his mouth as he climbed the bed. He captured her mouth in his, slowly trickling the water into her mouth.
Tanya felt like she would explode. She had no idea that a man could ever make her feel like this. She moaned into his mouth as the water that had been warmed from his mouth made her feel like she was taking him in her mouth.
"I would have imagined wine in this scenario, guess water could work too" she purred when she could trust her brain not to spew out gibberish.
"As I said, we aim to please and we love to make good use of the available as well. It worked, that is what matters," he said as he motioned at her nipples that had hardened and were straining toward him.
She laughed sheepishly "How resourceful of you! Oh look, it worked on you as well," she said with a laugh as she grabbed his aroused cock, giving it an abrupt hard stroke.
She laughed when he groaned and let him go.
"You are fire, baby! I have never met anyone like you," Ayo exclaimed when he could find his voice again, lightly spanking her butt.
Tanya turned her head to grin at him "Would you mind saying that to a camera, please? Just so I can add "Take that, Martinez!"
Ayo's hand stilled where he had been trailing circles on her ass "Who is Martinez?" He asked
"Oh shoot! I shouldn't have mentioned that bastard right now"
"Who is Martinez?
Tanya rolled over, dislodging his hand from her behind as she reached for the sheets. " My fiance."
*******************
Ayodele couldn’t believe his ears as he looked at her in shock “Wait what? You…you have a fiance” he said then he remembered that she had mentioned something about marriage and a fiance.
“And you are here with me right now? Right here? Like this? In bed? Not that I am complaining, mind you, but well, it just boggles the mind. Shit”
She gave him a defiant look as she thought “How typical! Why not? Let’s just jump right to conclusions.”
Ayo couldn’t quite remember her exact words at the moment as it seemed that his brain had been scrambled from vigorous good sex or maybe it was from the ridiculous wave of jealousy that enveloped him when he thought of the fact that she was about to get married or she had any man in her life that had enough claim on her to be called a fiance.
Ridiculous, he knew but it made him want to punch through a wall or preferably through the idiot’s face. Sporting a bruised face to the wedding venue should be a fine way to start that happy married life. He thought maliciously
“Damn, she is literally down the aisle already,” he thought. Then he remembered what she had said when they were running from the men. “Tomorrow. Damn it all, she had said tomorrow” the thought chilled him as he leapt off the bed to put his trousers on.
“Of course, I have a fiance,” Tanya said shakily, then she firmed her voice as she put on her bra, the euphoria of sex leaving her already. I am pretty sure I informed it to you already. Or I at least said something close to that” she defended herself.
“Yeah, now that my lust-hazed brain has been cleared, thank you very much, I can clearly remember you saying that you’re getting married tomorrow. Was that correct or it was just a joke?” Ayo asked incredulously
Tanya raised her eyebrow “Why on earth would I joke about something like that? And no, it’s not tomorrow. It is happening today” she said folding her arms across her waist as she inclined her head towards the wall clock.
Ayodele looked at the clock and it was truly 1:25 am.
“What?” he thought. “We had been entangled for two hours straight?” He wondered then he swore as he realized what that meant.
“Jeez, I have been fucking a woman about to marry on her wedding day?” He gave her a long look as myriads of emotions ran through him, betrayal being paramount.
He had no idea why he would feel betrayed.
They hadn’t even known each other for that long and the moment they left this room, both of them would go back to their lives. Yet he couldn’t but feel used. Why would any woman do that on the day she was supposed to be at her best for her man?
Would she leave the room right now, forgetting him the instant she stepped outside and went back to her boring boyfriend? Fiance. Husband to be or whatever his title was now.
Well, he had to be boring if she was here right now, banging somebody else.
“I’d be damned if I would be used for a quick fuck by anyone before she starts her perfect neat new life. The man is properly old and impotent,” he thought viciously.
Tanya couldn’t take the silence anymore “No, you have not been fucking anyone, we both did the fucking together, and if you stand there right now been hypocritical by judging me for what we both enjoy? You better have a rethink, man. I do not need your bullshit. Nor do I need to explain myself to you. I needed a quick fuck. You were it. That is all.” she said dismissively, turning around to search for her panties.
Ayo blinked “Wow!” He tucked his hands in his pockets as he laughed humorlessly turning his back on her then he turned to her again. “Wow!” He gave her a mocking look “You know, this would be the first time I would hear that from a female. Normally you hear a woman whining about a man using them for sex. And now, I have just been described as a quick fuck!”
Ayodele growled silently.“Damn, she just had to say it,” he thought as his anger rose and he flung his hands as he faced her again.“A quick fuck? That was what I was? Wow, how nice of you, empress, to choose me, this peasant for this amazing task,” he said sarcastically. “Are you satisfied with my performance or you would like a recap while you think of the man you are about to walk down the aisle with? In fact, why don’t we extend this arrangement to after your wedding too? I mean, a woman with your appetite wouldn’t be satisfied with an impotent man in her bed” he said, deliberately being mean to cover the hurt he felt growing in him at that moment.She looked at him like he was crazy “Who said anything about him being impotent?”Then she laughed in a demeaning manner.At least that was how she sounded to him as she turned to face him forgetting that she was still totally naked, except for her bra which she had put on or maybe she just didn’t care.“Awwn, poor Ayo, have you set up
“Are you really at this moment comparing my stamina to that of your hubby-to-be, Miss? And as far as I can remember, it seemed like you found me lacking too,” he repeated while trailing his hands down her arms.Then he repeated the routine slowly, diverting her attention from his hands as he kissed her sensitive ear lobe.He palmed her breast so suddenly that she gasped.“I am not….aargh…comparing anything. Definitely……..hmm…...not finding you lacking in any way” She arched her back into him as his bulge thickened and she could feel it nudging her ass. “Your stamina is…..eerr..nice enough,”He gave a short laugh “And the insult continues. Nice enough? Should I show you again just how nice enough my stamina could be then?” He turned her swiftly to face him and the ferocious look she saw in his eyes made her breath back up.She remembered vaguely hearing somewhere that a man felt threatened when their prowess was underestimated and they just wanted to prove themselves. This sure could be
Ayo collapsed on her and he felt her body shaking violently.At first, he thought it was from her orgasm but then the shaking continued.He rolled off her to lay on his back, staring at the ceiling for a while to get his strength back.“That….that…was beyond nice,” he said to her but she didn’t respond.He looked sideways at her and saw that her body was still shaking.“Tanya?”No response.He rose on his elbow and turned her over with his other hand.A strange feeling weakened him when he saw her face.She was crying!“What happened? Tanya. Did I hurt you? I am so sorry. Was I too rough with you?” He asked anxiously.She looked up at the compassion in his eyes and her tears increased as she started sobbing more loudly.Ayo gathered her in his arms rocking her as she seemed to want to compose herself yet the tears kept coming.He kissed her forehead, her cheeks, and then her nose as he rocked her with worry on his face while she continued crying like she had a lot bottled inside.“I am
Tanya quickly opened the door forgetting her almost naked state. She ran to him, fluttering her hands around his face."Oh, my God! Oh my, I am so sorry. I wasn't expecting you there. I...Oh god, your head!" She patted his face and his head.The pain that exploded in Ayodele's head made him remember the cartoonish stars that rotate around Tom's head in Tom and Jerry's cartoon movies that his cousin loved so much. He closed his eyes to steady himself as he gingerly touched the side of his head to check if blood was coming out or not. The way he felt at the moment made it seem like the head had split into two."Damn," he thought when he removed his hand from his head and he saw a little blood on his hand. Nothing to worry about though but he couldn't help but be amused at the way Tanya's eyes widened when she saw the red moisture on his hand."Oh, my. You are bleeding!" she exclaimed.He wanted to tell her that it was nothing to worry about, but then he thought of how this could work in
Princess Tanya Darlington had never been good with bearing her thoughts to others as she had come to realize earlier in her life that most people don’t care anyway.The majority of them were just looking for the tidbit they could get about her just so they could trend online or so they could brag among their friends that they knew her or something they could use against her in the future.So she had learned to be very guarded about what she said to others. To filter her words before uttering them.And to check and recheck every action internally before doing it in public or in anybody’s presence.Stressful it might seem to others but that was the norm for Tanya. She had gotten so used to it that she didn’t give it much thought.Just as the moon and the stars are, that was how constant the realisation had been in her mind that nobody would know what she didn’t want them to know.She had thought of and believed in having a soulmate.Someone you could share everything with, who wouldn’t j
She had been so furious and believed there was nothing anyone could tell her to make her go back on her decision.She had also realised just how less efficient she had become in managing her own life and going through the motions every other person goes through.She gave up trying to call a cab after hailing the first two, one of whom asked for her autograph and proceeded to tell her how he had been a die-hard fan and how she was his fantasy woman. She had told him to leave and ran back to Martinez’s street, the latter still nowhere in sight.The other had asked her outright if she would like him to show her a good time.She had given up and had to call her manager at the end of the day to call her driver when she realised that she didn’t even have her driver’s number.Her manager had always dealt with that part.“So much for a day free of lights, managers, and cameras,” she thought to herself as her silent driver whisked her to her residence at her insistence that he drove fast.She
Ayodele couldn't believe his ears."What do you mean by it was your fault? You are the victim here," Ayodele said with anger lacing his voice.Tanya was amused yet touched that he was angry on her behalf."No, I meant that was what he said. That it was my fault that he hooked up with someone else," she said simply."The bastard," Ayodele said in anger."Exactly my sentiment. He wasn't even ashamed or repentant of what he did. I can still picture his smug face as he calmly covered himself and invited me to talk it out like the adults that we are," She shook her head as she recollected."And your friend?" Ayodele said softly to bring her out of her thoughts as he could already see her face getting gloomy."Ern, who?" She asked as he got her attention."Your so-called friend, what was her reaction?" Ayodele asked again."Oh, Vivian? No idea. I couldn't even listen to anything. All I could hear was this rushing sound in my ears like I was in the middle of the ocean. Believe me, I had a kin
If they want his body and were willing to pay for it?He gave them his body, gave them all the styles they wanted, and took them farther than their snotty boyfriends or sugar daddies ever had.When Ike shouted, "Brother, I love you!"Or Romola said "You are the best, best, best brother in the world"Or Kemisola piped "Thank you, brother,"And Jenrola, saying in her quiet voice "Thank you for all you do, brother,"Those were all the consolation he needed and whenever guilt wanted to creep in, he simply held on to the expressions on his sisters' faces if he could provide for them.At first, he would feel a bit hurt when a lady he had probably spent the night with or had a moment with, saw him the next day and pretended as if she didn't know him in the presence of her friends.But as time went on, he accepted it as the way things were, that way he didn't feel guilty anymore when they bought his time to give them a good time.That was when he dubbed it "The Transaction"But here was a woma
"Why is he here?" Tanya felt Ayo's hand tighten on hers.She turned her head to see Martinez down the hall surrounded by his new manager and his bodyguards.She noticed that the bodyguards were fewer than he normally had.She supposed he had to keep up pretenses because she of all people knew that he could no longer afford them.He could barely afford the clothes on his back as he was so neck-deep in debt that she was sure he wouldn't finish paying for them in a decade, even if he decided to straighten up and do better.Since that didn't seem to be in the cards anytime soon, she was sure even his pretences would crumble soon enough.She saw Derek, a heavyweight champion, pointedly snubbed Martinez and walked away.When he spotted them, he turned towards their direction, but Tanya looked at her security head before turning away.She knew he wasn't going to get to her family even if he became a fly."Ignore him," she told Ayo. "Some people still believed that his old music, Gangrene, des
“It will be fine,” she told herself firmly.She had to believe it.She told her men to stay out while she looked for him.She entered the hotel and was directed to the ballroom on the second floor, sectioned off separately from the main floor.Tanya took the stairs that led to the ballroom just as someone was coming down it.“Why must I always see you everywhere I go? Isn’t it enough that you ruined my life?!” Susan’s shrill voice dampened Tanya’s mood.She wondered what she was doing here, especially coming from that part where the receptionist said it was closed off to the public for the day.Despite her curiosity, Tanya decided to ignore the bitch so she could go away with her trouble. She had something better to deal with, and she was not going to allow her to ruin it for her. She continued up the stairs expecting Susan to shut her trap if she didn’t respond.She gasped when she suddenly felt a hand pull her from behind, and she slipped backwards.“Tanya!” she heard Ayo’s voice as
“I am pregnant?” Tanya started at the doctor in shock.“Yes, princess. That explains all those feelings you’ve been having. Congratulations.”Tanya couldn’t believe it.She stared blankly at Dr. Aguilar then looked down at her stomach.Cupping it, she stood up from the bed and walked slowly towards the door.She flung it open and Christianah almost tumbled in. She had her ears plastered to the door, while Meg leaned against the railing with a worried look on her face.Meg hurried forward while Christiana steadied herself, “Well?” she asked while peering into Tanya’s pale face. “What is it? You are fine? You are fine, right?”Her worried tone made Tanya nod automatically, and then she said quietly, “I am pregnant. He said I am pregnant.”“Pregnant?! That is good news!” Meg said excitedly, then “Come, you shouldn’t be standing. You are pregnant…”Tanya didn’t believe she could squeeze laughter past the ball lodged in her chest, yet it erupted as she looked at Meg’s face. “Pregnant, not s
In a theatrical whisper, he said, “It is that man I saw on the TV with you. I think he is your husband? Yes, that one. Such a wicked soul,” he said with disgust on his face right before he forked some lobsters into his mouth.“There are many men with me on the TV, many have acted as my husbands before too. Which one of them are you talking about?” Tanya asked with confusion on her face.“I mean the…” he cleared his throat and drank wine to wash down the hastily chewed food. “The real one. The one you married instead of Martinez. What is that name I hear people call him? Yes, Mr. Taiwo. That one.”With surprise evident on her face, Tanya leaned forward. “Are you sure about this? You must have been mistaken. After all, it was a dark street.”“I know it as sure as I know my name, princess. I won’t lie to you. If that killer wants to lie about it, I can say this right to his face!” he said firmly.“Oh? That means you wouldn’t mind repeating this anywhere?” Tanya asked.“Of course not! Mart
Tanya waved the man over as she saw him enter the restaurant.She had booked the whole restaurant for the evening and was seated alone, so it was easy for him to see her.He wore a blue windbreaker jacket that seemed to have seen better days, just like his jeans and shoes. He seemed to be in his thirties.Smiling broadly, he approached her table. "Hello, princess. I can't believe I am meeting you in the flesh. This is so surreal. May I have an autograph, please?" he said excitedly."Of course, why not?" Tanya answered with a smile. "Let's get down to business first. We can do that later.""Okay, okay," he said as he scraped the chair back loudly and sat eagerly while smiling at her.Tanya disliked his shifty eyes immediately, but she held her smile as she assessed him. Her eyes went towards the man behind the counter with his face turned away before focusing on the man giving her a once-over.She was sure she had never seen him before nor knew him with Martinez, but then it was easy to
She was ashamed.The better Ayo’s family treated her during their two-day visit, the more ashamed she felt about the way her mother had treated Ayo and was still treating him.The visit was meant to be a few hours' visit, but his sister had persuaded her to stay one more day.She could see that his mom loved the idea as well, so she immediately agreed.It had been the most relaxing and heart-filled visit she had ever had.Ayo’s mother did not treat her like a stranger at all. She treated her like she had known her for ages.Her care and compassion almost seemed alien to Tanya.It wasn’t that her mother wasn’t capable of love, she just couldn’t remember a time when things like her career and her standing in the family hadn’t overshadowed any bond they might have developed while spending time together.If she thought hard enough, maybe she could recall a time in her childhood when she had been allowed to just be a child or when her mother had just looked at her with love without thinking
She covered the distance between their hands and linked them together, saying, “I want to meet your family. It would be my honour to see your home.”Emotion clogged Ayo’s chest and thickened his voice as he said, “And after that?”“I want you back,” she said without hesitation.“Back? Like…?”“Forever,” she answered. “I don’t want to end this. I lied when I said this was just an arrangement. I want more.”Oh, baby. Ayo’s hands tightened on hers as his eyes swam with the blooming emotions in his heart. “I want more too, baby. I want it all. I don’t ever want to let you go. I will work hard to deserve you. I will…”She leaned forward to lay her finger on his lips, “Ssshh,” she said softly. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You are more than enough for me,” she said with glistening eyes.Ayo shot out of his chair and hauled her into his arms before he could stop himself.Enough. She believed he was enough.Apart from his family, no one had ever believed he was enough.E
Excitement and anxiety warred in Ayo as he entered Avery.Avery was one of the top restaurants in Lagos with full-course international cuisines. One could request any food from Asian delicacies to oriental cuisines.The restaurant was so famous that one had to book a reservation at the restaurant at least a week before the date.Ayo had decided to try his luck that afternoon when he called. He was disappointed when he was told they were booked for the next three months.He was thinking of another place he could invite Tanya to that would be just as phenomenal when he got a call back from the restaurant.“You are in luck, sir. Someone just cancelled their reservation now. Would you like to take it?”“Yes,” Ayo said immediately.Though the reservation had taken the bulk of the money he had left, he was happy to do it for her.The security guard greeted him cordially and opened the door for him, and he stepped into the cool interior.He was surprised when he saw three attendants waiting f
“You won’t believe this!” Tanya smiled as she readjusted on the bed and asked, “I can sense it is something exciting from your voice. What is it?”“Oh my God! Excitement is the least of what I am feeling right now. I am overwhelmed.” his exuberant voice made her smile widen.Oh, she missed him. She wished she could see him right now.Even better, she wished he could be beside her at that moment. She missed him badly, but she was determined to respect his decision.“Even if it kills me,” she thought as she rolled her eyes at herself, then focused firmly on his excitement.“Do you know James Beed? I mean, what am I even talking about? Of course, you know James Beed. Mr Beed called me!”“Oh?” she prompted while grinning from ear to ear.“He called me for my book! He wants to make it into a movie! Can you believe that?! He was even talking about series, collaborations, and some other things I couldn’t really focus on. Can you believe this, Tanya? My book will be turned into a movie. I wro
