In the heat of the early evening, I could feel myself preparing for him, as he passed a hand under my shirt while his other undid the buttons. I felt like he was smoothing out all the cracks in me. I could smell by the way his cologne blossomed that Riley was growing hot for me, and when he finally tipped me over onto the bed and let his tongue press against my clitoris, I shivered with passion.Gently, he worked at me again, playfully tussling with me as I rolled this way and that, working against him now and then just to feel the ease with which he pulled me back. He made me feel at home in my own body, letting me push and pull against him. His tongue drew in deep, pressured circles over my clit.I was shocked when I heard myself say, “give me your hand too, inside of me.”“Of course, sweetheart,” purred Riley.His hand reached up, and in addition to his incredible oral skills, he pushed a single finger inside of me gently and began to curl it upwards, stimulating my g-spot as I dre
“Don’t try and run away!” I said, a little nervously. I could hear my own voice, high-pitched and squeaky. I wasn’t in a position to do anything.“As if I could,” said the old man, as he sat down at the rock and lifted up his leg. I could see he’d hit it on a stone or something. It was bleeding.“Who are you?” I said.He looked up at me. I could see a sharp set of cheekbones between the lank, graying hair and the rough stubble. He’d been handsome once, long ago. And his eyes bore that familiar, icy blue, the same color as the lake that was shimmering next to us.“I’m Kiefer Cage,” he said. “One of the investors in Riley’s grandpa’s company.”My mouth opened, and I heard myself gasp.“What do you want?!,” I asked with authority“To help get every important document to win the insurance for the company,” said Max, looking down at the water.“I don’t believe you! ” I said.“No, I’m not here to hurt him. Or you, for that matter. Though Lena, Amanda’s mom would have paid handsomely for it.
“I was scared that someone could hurt me and my family, I felt is grandparents could be hurt as well then when he is all alone all of this will be taken from him, Lena is a dangerous woman, she is as dangerous as her dad.“Where have you been all these years that you didn’t tell the truth then?” she said, in desperation.“The deed has been done?” I snarled.Chloe turned, and as she did, I saw her shoulder slump in despair. I could see the look in her eyes, green orbs in the night, as the moon lit one side of her face while the other lay in shadow. Who was she? Friend or foe?“You,” I growled, and the old man stood up.“Yeah,” he said, slowly, and I saw the hopelessness in his gaze. The man in front of me, I don’t know if to trust him or not.“You know him, Chloe?” I said, stepping to the right. I didn’t know what I was going to do, but one part of me wanted to leap on the stranger, to hit him and keep hitting him.“Sweetheart, no, no,” she said in desperation, but I wasn’t really list
I explained everything to his grandparents and told them I done being Mrs Anderson.He took me somewhere knowing I don’t know how to survive and that place could be dangerous for me.They pleaded with me but , I refuse, I took my kids and leave, I will start all over again.“My rent has due, I can’t go back to my house, even if I can, I can’t stay there for so long and I don’t want anyone coming to fool me”On the way back in the car, I felt like I was talking to him. At some points I imagined what I’d say to him if he was there.“Don’t you know?” I said to myself, sulkily, while I kept my eyes on the freeway. “Don’t you know I’d never do anything like that to hurt you?”“ Mom, you are talking to yourself” Henry says. I held their hand and pull them closer to me.I meant it, too. But somehow I couldn’t help feeling like I was getting what I deserved. My friendship, my relationship whatever I called the complicated mess that was me and Riley, had never once felt safe, never once felt se
Dearest ChloeHappy married life or should I say happy divorce life? If you want to see yu kids again,please do yourself a favor divorce Riley, he belongs to my daughter,trust me if you do that you will get back your kids.Lena’s men had come to the apartment and he’d taken Macy.Chapter 24RILEY.My cellphone keeps on ringing and I didn’t want to pick because I was sad “Ninetysix,”Igrunted.“Ninety seven. Ninety…eight!”A hundred pull-ups. There are professional athletes who wake up and don’t have the energy to do a hundred pull-ups. But of course, it was not about energy. It was about motivation. And I was highly motivated during the three-hour workout I’d just subjected myself to, during which I’d already beaten all my personal bests and was about to beat another.“Ninety-nine,” I cried, and then came the last one. Every muscle in my body was burning already, but I didn’t care. Anything not to think about what had happened since I’d got back to New York this morning.I collapsed ont
I didn’t have time to get a driver and I wouldn’t have gotten one if I did. I sped into Queens through the rain, which was heavy now, verging on a thunderstorm. When I got to Chloe’s apartment,I dialled her line , no one was picking ,She wasn’t there then I called my friend who was seeing Sara, then I drove down there I sat in the driver’s seat, shaking with rage and something else. So this was fear, true fear. The fear of losing the things in the world which matter most to you.I slipped inside through the open door and bolted up the stairs. But when I got there, I could see the door to Chloe’s friend’s apartment was open.I went inside, and what I saw made me feel sick. The upturned table, the crayons on the floor. Little pictures of a happy sun smiling down on a house. A drawing of a lady with red hair that said Mommy next to it in childish, curly handwriting.Chloe and Sara were on the sofa, shaking. From the looks of it, they’d only just got back. Another man was standing by the
“What are we going to do?” I said.“I don’t know,” said Sara. “But I do know someone who can help.”“I’m not calling Riley or maybe I should call him to ask for the divorce so that I can get my kids back,” I said.“Let’s Chill for now, let’s see the help the person I called could offer.”Sara says“Yeah?” I said.“ he’s coming over in about an hour,” said Sara, smiling.But both of us knew things looked awful, all the same.***An hour later, Zeke appeared armed with a laptop at Sara’s front door.“How are y’all doing?” he said, and gripped me in his arms for the biggest hug I’d ever had. It almost reduced me to tears again, but I took a deep breath.“What are you gonna do with that?” I said, looking at the laptop he had under his arm.“Lena’s dirty laundry,” said Zeke.He loaded it up while Sara and I paced around him, as Zeke logged into the laptop.“Someone sent those stuffs to me but I never believed him, he calls himself Kiefer,” he said, “it would have been too risky. But despera
“I had a feeling that was something to do with it all,” said Kiefer. “He kept talking about a birth certificate and some other forgeries. But I never put two and two together.”“Well, she told me to go, as a matter of fact. Told me that I was no good, that it was all my fault.”“And you believed her, you left her?” Asked Kiefer.My phone began to ring, I bring out the phone and I check them, when I check the screen , my grandparents were calling, I didn’t want to speak with them but then I thought of their safety.I picked the call.“ Hello? My Grandmom began to scold me over the phone.“Riley, How could you abandon your wife?! Listen and listen carefully, I want my granddaughter in law and my grand kids back home, bring them back home” she said firmly.I hanged the call and look towards Kiefer.“ You can’t just sit here because she pushed you away?I scowled, then looked away. “I don’t have to justify myself to a man who walked out on his own family,” I said. “I did my best to help. B
"I don't know what to think anymore Nathan. This is all just like a nightmare. I may never see her again, or my child. The thought scares me more than anything.""Don't lose hope my friend. I am certain that we will find Nicole eventually. Nothing bad has happened to her. Nicole is a strong lady; she can survive anything. I have a very good feeling that she's doing well. We will find her soon."NICOLE"Ash! Are you leaving already?" Claudia asked, coming into the house. She carried a bag with her, containing some items. Claudia is my close friend from college."Yes Claudia, my presentation at work starts in an hour." I was packing my bags, ensuring that I'm not missing anything. I checked to make sure that my health insurance card and phone are in the bag. I was going to visit the hospital right after work for my prenatal care. The hospital was just a few miles away from where I work.Four months have passed since I had met Claudia at the O’Hare airport as soon as I got into the city.
"He left? Where did he go to? Did he say where he was going?" I asked frantically."No, sir. He didn't mention where he was going. He only packed up his stuff and started leaving in a hurry, he was trying to call someone on the phone as he left"."Are you Ok, sir?" One of the employees asked. I ignored her and thought of what I could do next.It had been 3 months since Nicole disappeared with no trace and I hadn’t been able to get hold of Justin, either. He also left IM Corp after taking a few days off after that day.I received Justin’s contact information and tried to have face to face conversations with him several times, but there was no response from him. Eventually, I hired a private investigator to help me find them. One day, they informed me that they had found Justin working at another tech company, Sinews and living in a new apartment in the city.I cancelled my meetings for the rest of the day and hurried over to see Justin at Sinew with Nathan."Welcome to Sinews. How may
"How official!" He mocked, shielding his body from another violent hit from me."You're just crazy. Please don't forget to get me the plane ticket. I'll be all packed up and waiting for you to return this evening"."Alright. I'll be leaving now. I made you breakfast. Try not to throw up, please. It took me an hour to make those waffles.""An hour? Just to make waffles? Did you use sunlight to cook them?" I rolled my eyes at him. "All for some tasteless waffles."“Hey, if they were tasteless maybe you should save some for me. I didn’t want all that effort to go to waste.” He left the room while I laughed. I was certainly going to miss Justin. That is for sure!NATHAN"What happened? I heard Nicole resigned.” Nathan stormed into my office. I was totally in shock."What are you talking about? You informed me she was feeling unwell yesterday and asked for a sick leave. Isn't that why she still didn't turn up for work today? I checked her office today, but she wasn't there"."Yeah, yeah. I
“You are the most amazing man in the world. Do you know that? Wait. Don’t answer. I already know what you’re going to say.” A smile fell upon her lips.“Damn right, I am.” I kissed her.Our wedding was a blast. Between the alcohol, great conversations, and all the dancing everyone did, we all had a great time.I was talking with my brothers and cousins when Henry and Aunt Barb walked over.“Boys. I’m happy you’re all together. There’s something I need to tell you.”“What’s up, Mom?” Stefan asked.“Henry asked me to marry him, and I’ve accepted his proposal.” She held out her hand.“WHAT?” Simon spit out his drink.My brothers and I looked at each other and didn’t say a word.“Mom, are you serious?” Sam asked.“Very serious. Do you not see the diamond on my finger, Samuel?”“You haven’t known each other that long,” Sebastian said.“It doesn’t matter if we knew each other for a week. When you know you’re meant to be with someone, you know. Isn't that right, darling?" She kissed his chee
“Good. Then I’ll be connecting your credit card to my Amazon account.”“Now, now, Nicole. Let’s not get all crazy.”She laughed as I pulled her into me.“Shall we go greet our guests and thank them for coming to our wedding?” she asked.“Yeah. Let’s go.” I grabbed her hand. “I can’t wait to introduce you to everyone.” I smirked.“Very funny.”NICOLEAfter the DJ announced us, we stepped into the ballroom while all of our guests shouted and clapped.“I’m going to grab a drink. Do you want a water or something?” Nathan asked.“Water would be great.”“I’ll be right back.” His lips met mine.“In case I haven’t told you. You look gorgeous.” Jackson smiled as he kissed my cheek.“Thank you, brother-in-law.” I grinned.“Hey, bro.” Conner walked over and handed me my drink.“This place looks as beautiful as it did when Georgia and I got married,” Jackson said.“Thanks. I did a good job, didn’t I?” A grin crossed Conner’s lips.“Excuse me?” I laughed.“What?” He cocked his head. “You were stil
“Thank you.”“Gabriel. Grayson.” She walked over and hugged them. “It’s good to see you both again.”“Good to see you too, Barb.” Grayson smiled.“So, Mom.” Simon walked over and hooked his arm around her. “We’re going to have a little chat once the wedding is over.”“A chat about what, Simon?”“About you and what’s going on.”“Nothing is going on, darling. Put your detective instincts away.” She patted his chest. “I’ll see you boys in the Gardens.”“Your bowtie is crooked.” Nathan walked over and straightened it. “Are you ready?” He gripped my shoulders."Are you? Your day will be here before you know it.”“Speaking of,” Jackson spoke. “Have you and Sofia set a date yet?”“No. Not yet. We’re discussing it.” He smiled.“It’s time,” Christian said as he glanced at his watch. “Let’s go get you married.” He patted my back.* * *I stood there with my brothers and cousins and wasn’t nervous. This day almost didn’t happen for two reasons. One was because we weren’t sure if Nicole was going
I think about it for a moment and realize that I really should focus on building my relationship with my Fiancee and baby daddy. We can do all of that later but now we should focus on knowing each other.Even though we should think of focusing on our upcoming project. He cocks his head slightly. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?I love you and I want to be with you and who knows? I could die before you.”Nathan glares at me. “Don’t talk about dying,” he replies angrily.“But it’s the truth, anything can happen so the age difference doesn’t bother me.”Nathan exhales. “What about your parents then? We should meet them again ?”Laughing, I shake my head. For what?. But I stopped letting them tell me how to live my life a long time ago. They are just going to have to accept you and love you like I do.” I smile at him and lean forward to kiss him.The kiss grows deeper, but Nathan pulls away before it can turn into something more. “If you weren’t so sore right now, I would take you right h
Her back bows,body quivering and thighs clenching as our bodies grow slick with heat and sweat. Soon enough, she stiffens and shatters in my arms, reaching that desired peak for the second time in minutes.I watch her with adoration,marveling at how extraordinary she looks right now as she rides her pleasure. Groaning loudly now, with her name on my lips, I follow her swiftly, thrusting with careless abandon until we are both riding that high.Later that night,after whipping up something for us to eat, I feed it to Nicole with one hand while grazing her hip with my other hand.After chewing and swallowing,she clears her throat and stares at me curiously. “What made you change your mind?” She asks.“What do you mean?”I reply, handing her another bite which she takes in her mouth.“Well,maybe you cast you spell on me, I am not doing al of this because of the baby alone but because I believe you will be the best daughter to Kiera and our unborn and I love you so much.”I drop the plate o
Slowly,my hands trail her upper body and settle on her breasts. Gently I squeeze both just as my mouth peppers kisses along her neck. She quivers, moaning loudly as my mouth descends on her nipple. Never before have I felt this way with any woman, not even Bridget whom I once loved.Although everything is happening so fast,I make sure to remain gentle with her and I take my time caressing her body, learning every inch of it. I am just as eager to pleasure her as much as I am pleasured, if not more.Suddenly,I pick her up and rise from the couch with her thighs wrapped around me. I carry her towards the bedroom she slept in the last time we were here. Once we’re in there, I place her feet gently on the floor and drop a kiss on her forehead before proceeding to pull off my own clothes and underwear.I guideher to the perfectly made bed and help her lie on it before going to lie beside her. “You are an enigma, Nicole, so beautiful,” I whisper into her ear as I begin to trail my mouth acr
