Chapter 1
Shekinah's POV
I stepped out of the car, tucking my hair behind my ear as I gazed afar into the building that stood before me. My hands held his arm causing him to turn to the side. King took a quick glance at me before we approached the red carpet. This was a black and red-themed mask party hosted by one of the prestigious figures in the city; Klaus and Debrah.
On that note, I and king had our masks on but we were still noticeable. King wasn't a man that loved publicity. I understood that the moment we walked passed the red carpet. As we both walked past, my eyes caught a man that left me amazed. He was standing with a woman which I presumed was his wife considering how she clinched to him leaving her DNA all over his face.
She wrapped her right hand around his neck then her other hand was placed on his chest with her diamond ring taking its own special attention.
The cameras’ flashes began to go off and they halted to take the picture. Not just any picture but what they call the perfect couple picture. He held her by her waist, pulling her close to himself.
King and I were about to step in when I felt an eye on me. I turned and behold, “Mr perfect” had his eyes all over me. His eyes in a charming gaze, completely ignoring the woman that was standing beside him.
“ Shall we?” King asked With a corner smile.
I hummed in affirmation. We had barely stepped in when the hosts approached. We said a few pleasantries and were informed of the dance that was about to begin. I was only intrigued when I realized the type of dance; swing dancing.
While dancing we could exchange partners. I loved it because it was another avenue to watch men flirt shamelessly.
I placed my hands on Kings shoulders while he placed his around my waist. Our feet moved to the rhythm of the music until finally, we had to change partners.
I spun but moved to the side. All the ladies on the dance floor did this. I was held by the first man I exchanged with and we shared a brief smile before I had to move again. Then the second, and the third. Now, I was getting bored. Just before I could complete the thought, I was held by the fourth man. The same man that couldn’t take his eyes off me earlier.
His Broad spartan shoulders and Rock hard body leaned against me softly. His earth swirling scent left me mesmerized. I was opportune to have a feel of his chest. It was hard and I could already feel myself soaking up in that pleasure. I tried to restrain myself but with each beat, he kept pulling me closer and closer to himself. I was getting comfortable with the intimacy yet I didn’t oppose it so it only made him continue.
When he was so close to me, I could feel his breath on my neck. I danced with different men but something about him just sat right. His steps,his gentle touch around my waist that sent shivers down my spine,oh!his scent. Syncing to the flow of the rhythm, when I suddenly heard his flat voice.
“Take off your mask” he said running his fingers down my bare back
He got no word from me nor did I do what he requested before it was time for another exchange.
I was about to follow him with my gaze when I went back into king’s arms. I turned to him and he had a look in my eyes. “You got comfortable with him, didn't it?” King threw the question at me without waiting a second
“Really? Didn’t notice” I said,denying what was clearly visible. My statement infuriated King causing me to add, “It was just a dance, nothing serious”
I love it when he gets railed up when I get close to other men. It always finds a way to get me excited. We got off the dance floor and a few hours later, we headed for our car.
“Maybe some other time” a voice accompanied with a gentle touch on my fingers as I was about to get into the car. . My eyes snapped towards the direction of the voice. It was the same man. He no longer had his mask on but I could not still see his face at the back seat of his car
“Get in the car” king’s voice pulled me out of my dilemma as I watched the car drive off
We were back to the mansion in no time,king still kept his cold attitude. I didn’t care, I was already used to his paranoia attitude.
I was about to walk up the two way stairs when he grabbed my left wrist and pulled me closer to his chest. His grip on my wrist and my waist were so tight that I could barely move. Pressing my full soft breast on his chest, I felt his erect penis rising on my vaginal.
“Meet me in my room” he commanded at once, letting go of my waist.
When I got up to my room, I found a gift bag lying on my bed. I opened it up and in it lay a lacy exotic dress.
King wanted to punish me for flirting with another man and his punishment was my body.
A few minutes later, I was standing in King’s chambers. He was already in his rope waiting for me to arrive. His room was designed with all kinds of punishing weapons they could be. His handcuffs were lying beside him on the couch.
When king saw that I had arrived,he stood up, picked up his glass of champagne and walked up to me.
“Good girl” he smirked, brushing his finger against my soft lips.
King raised my jaw just enough to gaze into my eyes.
“You liked his presence, but you are mine” he poured his champagne from my neck down to my breast.
“I own you” he lowered his lips and suckled on my breast.
Chapter 2 Shekinah’s POV“What did you say?” I asked, looking over my shoulder at personal assistant, Vivian I was at my office window looking out of it when Vivian came interrupting my thoughts but well, she would not do that if it were not something that would be very interesting to me. Vivian shrugged with her face tilting to the side. “It’s a huge deal”I took a seat on my office chair as I finally found something to take me out of the thoughts that only had mine and king’s relationship around it. “It’s a six hundred million dollar deal. It will run for six months. Not only does it give us a great profit but it takes our company past all the borders we have crossed. There is also a chance of getting more profit” Vivian kept telling me the perks of this deal I was excited and curious to know what the problem was. Truly. It’s not every day you get such deals but she was not telling everything just yet. “You’re holding something back” I spilt my thoughts to her Vivian
Chapter 3Shekinah’s POV“I apologize for the delay, Mr Adrian,” I said, with an only-lip smile “Hope you didn’t wait long?”“No, I just arrived. It would have been bad to keep a beautiful lady like you waiting so I’ll apologize for that” Adrian said, obviously trying to sweet talk meI smiled but it disappeared almost the same way it came as we took a seat. The private waiter came in and filled two glasses with wine and placed it in front of us before moving back to the side where he had been standing since Shekinah got into the room.“You look better than when I last saw you at the party” he tried to strike up a conversation with me mostly revolving around our little connection on the dance floor“You are not so bad yourself, Mr. Adrian” I played the game, picking up and twirling the drink in the cup with an added smirk on my face as I took a sip“I’m flattered. You can call me Adrian” he saidI said nothing and as though nothing happened a few minutes ago, I took out the file from
Chapter 4Maureen's POVThe media that surrounded the entire room all had eyes on King and the lady beside him. They were confident and they looked like a power pact couple. The perfect couple. One that I had always wanted for me and Adrain. It made me upset.I released my fist and stared at my palms which had turned red. They were hurting but there was visible injury. Adrian was only a few steps away from me. While King and that woman enjoyed the media's attention I chose to go to my man.It did not take long and I was standing in front of him. “What is the meaning of this?” I asked, my face showcasing the anger I had“What do you mean?” Adrian asked, taking only a single glance at me before looking past me“King George” I spoke with gritted teeth “Why would you invite him? You never told me you two made amends. And why anyway? He is not to be trusted and…”I stopped talking when I noticed Adrain was not listening to me. He had his eyes solely on the couple that was taking everyone's
Chapter 5Shekinah’s POVI could sense Adrain’s eyes on me with each passing moment. If I went to the left, his eyes followed. To the right, it repeated the same action. Crazy enough, his eyes always moved from my face to my chest, down to my toes before returning to my face.Staying with King for so long, I was able to learn how to act distracted but still not distracted. That was the key to making him more and more obsessed with me. Occasionally, I would glance at him as though it was a normal act or coincidence.And fortunately for me, he bought it. It was so easy to do and I loved it. He winked at me once and I knew to act as though I did not just see it. Then finally, the guard dog, Maureen. She has been looking at me for a long time. Not just looking, but monitoring me.My every move, my every word, she made sure to monitor. Worse, she was trying to act like she wasn’t doing it. It was so easy to predict her and watch her move. At one point, I stared at her directly, but I did n
CHAPTER SIX “ I would like to see you try that again” King smirked, pulling out his hands to accept Shekinah who was already approaching us.“ I see you both are having a great time discussing” she added.“Hmm,” I took a sip from my glass.“I must say, your fiancèe is a lovely woman” Shekinah took a glance at Maureen across the room who was also staring into my soul then back at me. I was surprised by Shekinah's compliment. Just a few minutes ago, the two were at each other's throats and now she found her lovely? King was just as surprised as I was. “Now you listen to me Shekinah, if your intention here is to steal my husband away from me then you are a liar.” Maureen came to Shekinah out of nowhere, snapping her fingers at her face.“What are you saying, Maureen?” She asked, confused. “Don’t you dare act innocent you bitch. You are a good-for-nothing pest looking for who to feed off and have sex with.”Maureen added shamelessly “Adrian Caution your fiancée or else….. King had
