His presence fills the space with a gentle warmth, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee is a tantalizing invitation to wakefulness.
“Are you awake?” he asks. His voice is a soothing balm to my sleepy ears, pulling me from the depths of slumber.
I stir and my eyelids flutter open, a soft smile gracing my lips as I turn to face him.
His eyes sparkle with affection as they meet mine, and the warmth of his gaze envelops me like a comforting embrace.
He holds out our mug, a signature to our shared mornings, and I reach out to collect it from his hands. The rich flavorful brew dances on my tongue before I even take a sip.
It’s perfect, exactly how I like it on mornings like this. “Thank you very much, Boss,” I murmur, my gratitude louder than my voice.
With a sigh of contentment, he sinks into the bed next to me, his movements as smooth and graceful as a dancer’s.
As he leans in for a kiss, the morning sun paints his face and chest with a golden glow, accentuating the strong masculine features that lie beneath his confident smirk – the very smirk that never fails to send a thrill down my spine.
He’s made it crystal clear that I’m not to call him ‘boss’ except on certain occasions, like right now, when his dominating gaze carries a hint of playfulness.
I can’t help but smile as his lips brush against mine, a familiar warmth spreading through my body like a comforting embrace.
“Would you like to go on an adventure with me?” He asks, his eyes glittering with excitement.
The thought of spending time alone with him sends a shiver down my spine, and I know better than to ask him why, when, or where.
I respond, with sparkles in my eyes that have to be. “Of course, I’d love to!”
We kiss again, this time inhaling each other’s breaths.My lips soften and part, and his tongue teases mine. I almost sigh.
This is not exactly what I wanted for myself at the beginning, but here we are, happy – I guess, as his strong grip tightens on my gentle arm and mine relaxes in submission.
It’s just the both of us, melting into each other’s skin, drowning in each other’s scents, and tasting each other’s souls.
I let my thoughts wander, recalling everything that has led to where I am right now.
What exactly happened with us? And how have both our lives spiraled into the exact position that we are in now?

Harnessed by him He wore a mask
He has always been extremely attractive. I would give everything to forever replay my memory of him getting out of his limo and stepping onto the red carpet on that day. The grace with which his shoes clicked, his strong gait, and how his long legs complemented each other to make perfect strides. His shoulders were broad and his tuxedo wrapped perfectly around his torso. I could only see his side profile from where I stood, but he oozed confidence and a commanding presence that I instantly got completely lost in just from staring at him. “Leila!... Leila!!” The distant footsteps grew closer with every passing second and the sound of my name in the faded background suddenly became audible right as I felt a sharp tap on the back of my neck, jolting me out of my reverie. “Ouch.” “What’s the point of standing there looking like a lost puppy?

Time tiptoed through every passing day, sunrise chasing sunset over and over like children in a game. The nights had been painted with inky silence, punctuated only by the occasional barks of lonely dogs, and the rustles of curious critters. And the dawns cracked open the darkness, a brushstroke of gold against the canvas of the sky, sending its soft light creeping into my room. This particular dawn, though, felt different. It felt perfect like the world had held its breath, waiting for this very moment. The air pulsed with anticipation, every grain of sand shimmering with hidden possibility. The sweet melodies of waking birds drifted in through my window and faded out, replacing the whispering wind and the lullaby of distant crickets. I can never forget how perfect it felt. I rubbed my bleary eyes and stood at the window, arms outstretched to the light, my heart a hummingbird trapped in my chest. It was ethereal, and if I was going to begin a phase of my life that I didn’t kno

In a hurry, I put on a soft and toasty hoodie and a pair of comfortable shorts. Hearing a knock on my door at this time of day surprised me, and my curiosity was piqued. I decided to make a quick stop in the kitchen before walking out the door. With excitement, I reached for a tall glass and filled it with cool, refreshing water. I made my way towards the front door, my heart pounding with a mixture of eagerness and intrigue. “Who’s there?” I asked as I peeped through the peephole, my head buzzing from sleep. I opened the door upon seeing a familiar face, my eyes squinting against the midday sun. “Hi…” I started to speak, wondering what she was doing at my door. “It’s Becky,” she said, with a tone indicating she was sick of reminding me. She must have noticed my masked attempt to recall her name. “Yes, Hello Becky.” My ‘hello’ hung in the air like a dead fish and Becky chirped right back. ”Come on, you don’t have to sound so formal. We’re seatmates, remember? And guess what

I perched, perched more than I sat on the edge of my bed and grabbed my phone. My fingers began to type away frivolously. Not my usual move, trust me. In fact, I pride myself as someone who tries to move calmly whenever in a jam, probably because the way thoughts run through my mind can be frightening, and I tend to overreact if I don’t get myself under control. But this wasn’t calm, this was controlled panic, although I wasn’t sure what there was to panic about. I didn’t even know what I was going to search for when I launched my browser app, but somehow my search ended with him on my screen. I needed to let go of some of my pent up emotion and one way to do that was to unravel mysteries.
