As Mercedes waited for Sedar's decision, she held her breath. She could hear Zeynep breathing behind her as the room was ruthlessly silent. She observed Sedar's jaw ticking, waiting for him to open his mouth and state their marital status.
He sat there, trying to find a reason to stay married to her and he came up with nothing, zilch. Just like he had thought. The last time he remembered, he had no desire to marry. He still found it difficult to find a woman who could sate his sexual appetite and by the looks of the raven-haired beauty standing in front of him, he debated whether she could suppress any desire he obtained. As she stood before him, on quivering limbs, she looked too fragile to be an Ozturk, too fragile to be HIS wife.
He didn't do fragile, nor did he like a woman who couldn't give two shits about her appearance. He was cringing hard on the inside, and couldn't believe her choice of attire. She wore a dress, with a long knitted cardigan with Timberl
Early Friday Morning... "Thank you for everything, Ozgar," Mercedes said, her gaze drawn to the twisting of her fingers. She had gotten to know Ozgar over the past few days, as he had taken time out of his busy schedule to check in on her and take her mind off the divorce and the media articles. She also began to see him in a different light for the first time properly, and every time he looked at her with his Emerald green eyes with flecks of gold in them. She found herself blushing, her body reacting to him more naturally compared to the way it did under Sedar's attention. She felt free to be herself around Ozgar, and she didn't have to second-guess her every move. He effortlessly made her smile. With Sedar, her body was sexually attracted to him first, then her mind started to catch up with hopes of her heart following. She soon realised why she was mad at him for divorcing her, he had forgotten her so easily, making her worse nightma
"Hey, bud, you summoned me?" Ozgar walked into Sedar's room with a spring in his step. He'd been reflecting on the kiss he'd shared with Mercedes earlier this morning. The way he feels about her has surprised him; he suddenly feels stuck; should he fight his desire for her or succumb to her alluring innocence? "Would you mind telling me what the fuck this is all about?" He tosses his iPad at him, which is filled with images of him and Cedes engrossed in their kiss. Exhaling, he scratches the back of his neck. "I had no idea we were being watched." He scolds himself internally for not taking extra precautions. "Are we just going to ignore the fact that you've got your tongue down my wife's throat?" Sedar asks, surprised. He lets out a growl. Ozgar raises his head, a frown marring his otherwise flawless complexion. "You're ex-wife?" He corrected him. "I withdrew the case a few hours ago." He smirked. "What game are you pl
Three weeks later...Mercedes stood in front of her full-length mirror, combing her towel-dried hair, humming and smiling as she prepared to pick up Ozgar from the airport. In the pit of her stomach, butterflies were fluttering. She was overjoyed to see him and couldn't wait to put her arms around his neck and kiss him to express her gratitude.For the past few nights, Ozgar has managed to become the starring character in her most private dreams since the kiss they exchanged at the airport.Now, don't go getting it twisted just yet....Mercedes has no intentions of jumping into bed with Ozgar, but a little flirting and kissing can't hurt. She wasn't seeking a long-term commitment. You're probably familiar with the expression.'In for a good time, not a long time.'Well, this is the motto she'd like to live by for the next few years. She, above all others, understands that life is too short. And she felt her marriage was much shorter, oblivio
Sedar and Ozgar sat inside the Uber and observed Mercedes as she sat in her car, which was parked in her driveway as the Uber came to a halt. They both wondered what was going through her mind as she started banging her hands against her steering wheel before gaining back her composure and exiting her car. Ozgar felt bad for her; the look of shock on her face hit him like a tonne of bricks. All he could think of doing was walking over to her, yanking her car door open, and take her in his arms, apologising for not being warier of Sedar's actions. "Go to the hotel; I'll meet you there when I'm finished here," Sedar advised. "Do you really think now is the time to confront her? She looked as if she had seen a ghost." Ozgar mumbled. The prospect of him being alone with Mercedes did not sit well with him. Neither did the thought of her letting down her guard and allowing Sedar to reclaim his position as her husband. "Yes, I noticed that as
He wrapped his fingers around her upper arm and gently slammed her against the wall next to the door, enclosing her with his arms. He disliked being touched in such a manner unless it was in connection with sexual behaviour. She attempted to move his arm, but he remained immobile; he was far too strong for her, and she was forced to raise her head and meet his hard gaze. "Move." She stated bluntly. Instead of speaking, he snarled with his upper lip curling upwards. "Fucking move!" She cried out, pressing her hand against his chest roughly. His hands encircled her wrists, preventing her from lashing out at him physically. "The last woman who slapped me in that manner." He paused for effect as he growled. "Was taken roughly up against a wall, screaming my name and submitting herself to my every whim." He leant in close, whispering in her ear. "Is that what you want, benim kuzgun saçlı meleğim?" (my raven-haired angel) He
"At ease Soldier," Sedar told Ozgar as he took another swig of his beer. He had no desire to go toe-to-toe with his best friend, whom he also considers to be his brother. Internally, he knows he can't be completely upset with him for falling in love with his wife. He was certain he had not done it on purpose, and he was not about to tell him, giving him an excuse to pursue her further. He did, however, have a sudden urge to send Ozgar back early so that he could stay and try to get to know Mercedes again, with the hope that it would jog his memory. Because they didn't divorce, he believes that the contract they had is still in effect today. All he needed to do was find the right words to say it to her. He had secretly hoped that she would have accepted the position so that he could gradually convince her that she was, in fact, still an Ozturk. "We need to get moving if we're going to make it to this meeting on time," he said, glancing at
Her voice was like a wonderful symphony in his ears that never stopped playing, making the one word vibrate in the back of his throat, and he didn't want it to stop. With her acceptance still lingering in the air between them, he pressed his lips against hers, claiming her soft moans as his own, never wanting to let her go. But he knew it wouldn't last, and he was ready and willing to live in the moment with her. Warmth bloomed in his chest, sparks igniting as she leant in closer, their lips tentatively brushing together for the second time. The aroma of her perfume, as well as her conditioner's sweet, fruity scent, made him dizzy, and butterflies danced in his gut. As she surrendered to the kiss, her lips were impossibly soft against his own and he was overcome with emotion and warmth flooding his insides. They were brought back to reality by the sound of children laughing and the buzzing of pedestrian lights. He brushed his lips against hers one last time,
Sedar entered the Manson Brothers' building. A location he's found himself returning to on a regular basis while in the country, as he's become quite good friends with the brothers, Dante, Mason and Nio. "Sedar, How are you doing, man?" Dante approaches him, shaking his hand. "I'm doing better, mate. You?" "Yeah, yeah... I'm fine. So, uh, what brings you by?" He extends an invitation for him to take a seat. "I'm attempting to reacquaint myself with my familiar surroundings in the hope that it will trigger a memory." He says as he takes a seat and unbuttons his suit jacket. "And here I thought you were dropping in because ya missed us," He says sarcastically. "Hayir, (Nah) your ugly face with your horrendous Kiwi accent drives me insane." He chuckles. "You do know the Kiwi accent was rated the sexiest accent last year?" He looks at him with amusement. "Evet, (yes) those people must have been tone-deaf, surely
