The past few days had been a blur for Ruby. She had thoroughly enjoyed her time in Russia and it was a shame she and Jaxon would leave soon.Aside from that, she had thoroughly enjoyed her time with Jaxon, she thought with a blush. He had introduced her to the wonderful world of sex, she couldn't seem to get enough of it. Neither could he as it seemed. Sometimes she felt he was more excited even though she was the one who had been a virgin and was still new to everything.She recalled all they had done and thought of the times they had taken huge risks to have sex in public. There was a particular moment he had convinced her to do it in the pool and they had almost gotten caught by one of the staff. After that incident, he had changed the policy and told the staff to come only in the mornings and evenings.Ruby glanced at the clock and it read 5: 30am. She and Jaxon would leave at 6:30 for an early morning flight then touchdown in New York late afternoon. She had glanced at the cloc
Punished? Bells rang in Ruby's head but they weren't warning bells. They were excited bells that chimed non-stop. She didn't know what Jaxon would do or say but her whole body tingled with anticipation."Punished, but why? I didn't do anything wrong." She defended herself."Oh, you know exactly what you did wrong but you're playing dumb." He said. His lips turned up in a smirk as he stepped closer to her. Jaxon stopped an inch or two from her and then leaned down so that he was at eye level."But don't worry, I'm sure my little Gem will like her punishment," Jaxon whispered against her ear before giving her ass a light smack. Ruby jumped as her eyes widened. She looked around to make sure no one had seen them."What is wrong with you? Someone could have seen us." She said then gave him a light slap on his chest. She would have been mortified if that happened because, unlike Russia where the staff were basically strangers, she was familiar with the people here. And the last thing she w
He should have expected this. Jaxon knew that the past week had been hectic for Ruby and their continuous rolling in the bed must have made her more exhausted than usual.He decided to do something nice for her indoors today. He woke up earlier than usual and made her favorite pancakes and freshly made orange juice.He served the food on a tray and made his way to the room. He slowly opened the door and smiled as he saw Ruby curled up on his pillow.Her face was pressed to the soft pillows as she slept.Jaxon placed the tray on the carpeted floor and sat beside her.He smiled as he slowly moved her hair out of her face. He caressed her cheek as he admired how peaceful she looked.He felt bad that he had to wake her up but he had the whole day planned out for them to relax and bask in each other’s presence.He started placing soft kisses on her face and Ruby smiled in her sleep.She felt feather-like touches on her face, she turned away from the tickling feeling and Jaxon smiled as he
Jaxon’s breath hitched as he watched Ruby slowly walk down the stairs. He felt like he couldn’t breathe as he stared at her angelic features.It looked like she was walking in slow motion and her heels made a sweet clicking sound as she walked.She stood before him and he felt like locking her up and never allowing her to walk out.“You look amazing Ruby,” Jaxon said in a deep voice and Ruby felt goosebumps ruse on her skin.She was wearing a dazzling red gown that shimmered under the light. The color contrasted beautifully with her pale skin. She had on very light makeup and her hair was packed in a sleek ponytail.“Thank you.” Ruby smiled as she laced their hands together and walked to the awaiting car outside.They got to the party venue and it was one of the hotels that belonged to Jaxon. Ruby was mesmerized by the decor and architectural design of the hotel as their way to the ballroom.The bodyguards bow as they step through the grand entrance, they are greeted by a sea of rich
Ruby knew it, she always had. The fact that June didn't bother to hide that she was pining after Jaxon like he was the only man in the world irritated her. And now, here she was at the party playing a mini hostess which made her angrier than she already was."You know, you really have no shame going after a married man like that." Ruby fired at June after they stepped aside to "talk"."Oh, so you want me to give you a trophy because you're married to him?" June scoffed in question. Her eyes traveled down Ruby's body and she snared."You're not anything special because you are married to Jaxon." June spat out after she had finished sizing her up. Ruby couldn't believe what she was hearing. Blood rushed to her ears as she stared at June in pure fury.Ruby knew where she came from and she knew that Jaxon was over a million times richer than her, but Ruby always prided herself that she was humble and had a strong sense of self and she would be damned if she let some insecure woman take it
Time had passed gradually and people had started to look around. Jaxon looked around too and wondered where Ruby had walked off to. She had been with him not so long ago but now he couldn't seem to see her anywhere.He thought nothing of it and assumed she was in a corner of the room where he couldn't see her. He zeroed back in on the conversation with Damon and lost himself in it. After he made rounds around the hall and had a few talks with some people he couldn't talk to before. At the same time, he kept an eye out for Ruby because he had started to get worried.He had taken a break from mingling when Damon came to find him."Your grandfather is wondering where Ruby is." Damon informed him in a hushed tone. Jaxon frowned then pulled out his phone. His eyebrows lifted in surprise at how late it had gotten. But he was also surprised that the time for the toast had rolled around and Ruby was nowhere to be found."I can't find Ruby." He told Damon firmly."I can't either, I checked be
“I’m so sorry.” Ruby pleaded as she walked up to a fuming Jaxon.“You’re sorry? Is that all you have to say after bailing on all of us?” Jaxon glared at her and Ruby’s eyes widened as she stared at him wide-eyed.“I didn’t bail on you. I don’t know what happened but the restroom door was locked when I tried to go out.” Ruby explained.“If you didn’t want to you could have just said so why do you have to make up excuses? This is one of the best hotels in the whole city, Ruby so there is no way the lock is faulty.” Jaxon angrily spat out and Ruby stared at him in disbelief.“Why would I lie to you? You need to believe me, I was locked in the restroom!” Ruby exclaimed“If you didn’t want to do it you could have just said so instead of leaving when we needed you.” Jaxon sighed.Ruby didn’t know how to feel as she stood alone, why was Jaxon not listening to her and blaming her for something she didn’t do?“Babe you know that I’ll never want to do anything that would make you feel bad, I’m
They came back home and after freshening up they were both in the living room cuddled up on the couch watching an action movie that Ruby randomly picked off Netflix.She hugged Jaxon tightly as he played with her soft locs. He loved how soft her hair was and enjoyed playing with it. He didn’t know why but he felt calm whenever he played with her hair.Ruby’s mind was filled up with all that transpired that evening. She couldn’t get herself to focus on the movie or the soft touches of Jaxon.She knew she had every right to be angry but she still felt bad looking at things from Jaxon and Keith’s perspective. It’s reasonable that they all thought she ran out of fear since it was a well-known fact that she had always been an ordinary girl who hated drama and crowds.She felt bad and squirmed in Jaxon’s Embrace.“Is everything okay Gem?” Jaxon whispered softly.“I just feel so bad about what happened at the party today,” Ruby replied sadly.“I already told you it’s fine Ruby. Just forget
