For the first time in his entire life, Tobias didn’t regret acting on his urges. Holding Amara, feeling her bare skin against his, feeling the heat that radiated from her body and her breathless moans and meager struggles, it felt good.He allowed his hand to roam her body freely, exploring the curves that he hadn’t seen, hadn’t touched, hadn’t felt, and hadn’t made love to in such a long time.It felt good, to the point that Tobias briefly regretted his decision to divorce Amara. It was brief, but the thought crossed his mind, making him doubt that decision he had made and causing him to think that if he had a chance to go back to that day he had proposed a divorce, he'd choose differently.But that’s just what it was, a thought, and it was squashed the moment the fog in Amara’s mind cleared and she shoved Tobias away.“You’re really crossing the line now, Tobias,” Amara warned, putting her nightgown’s sleeves back in place. “Why are still so unreasonable?”“Unreasonable?” Tobias cha
Amara returned home close to midnight. Stepping into the living room, the first thing her eyes found were the sex toys scattered all over the floor.She huffed and walked towards them, squatting down where the box was so that she could pack them up one by one.However, when she arrived at the one Tobias had picked, the same one she had smacked out of his hand, Amara couldn’t help but think back to the kiss that happened.Against her better judgement, her brain recalled the kiss, how Tobias’s lips felt against hers, how smoothly his fingers had ran through her body and how emotional the kiss seemed.It wasn't like It was the best kiss in the world, But Amara sure was surprised how it had rendered her flightless for the first few minutes.Why? Well despite the obvious answer being that it was because the kisser was Tobias, the very man she had loved for six years, who seemed to have some sort of bewitching influence over her, Amara couldn’t help but think of another reason.Perhaps it w
A detention cell and conference room surely had more than one differences, yet, here Tobias was, seating comfortably and chatting his time away with Gemini, like he hadn’t been charged with sexual Harassment the night before and meant to be detained.Amara could only but sigh quietly. Honestly, she wasn’t surprised to see Tobias present at the meeting, although she had not expected him, it was a well know fact that Connor Lin, his lawyer for five years running, was the best lawyer in the whole of England.So a case like sexual Harassment would be no different from a regular business case to him, which was why she was unsurprised to see Tobias here.“Ah, Miss Miller,” Gemini greeted as soon as she noticed Amara’s presence.Tobias’s head turned in her direction at the sound of her name. His eyes scanned her, but he made no effort to acknowledge her.Amara reciprocated the gesture, however, she didn’t allow he
Amara learnt that each time Bethany had an encounter with Tobias, while by her side, the female would always have a lot to say during the aftermath."...the nerves of him, really pisses me off." Bethany was ranting, hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as she drove. "I mean, what right does he have to stick his nose in your business. Doesn't he know boundaries?!"That was a question even Amara couldn't answer, so she simply settled for a laugh, both because she found Bethany's ranting funny and because she had no words for Tobias's actions so far."Seriously," The older female continued. "It's as if he's making it his life mission to ruin your life. He's like a leech, sticking himself to you and sucking you dry." She shook her head. "I really didn't expect this of Tobias."Amara smiled after Bethany's words. She could genuinely see how worried and angered Bethany was for her sake. It warmed her heart and for a second, a thought popped into her head.
“Touch her one more time, and I promise, you’ll lose that hand of yours.”Tobias’s voice was calm and cold, but his eyes were blazing with fury. His fingers were wrapped around the drunk man’s wrist and his grip was tight, the veins in his arms bulging, showing just how hard he was holding on.The drunk man hissed and tried to yank his hand free. His first attempt was futile, but the second one, thanks to Tobias’s lessened grip, was a success.“You fucker,” He cursed, glaring daggers at Tobias who was unfazed by his action.Rather than paying attention to the man in front of him, Tobias, almost like an instinct, pushed Amara behind him and stepped forward.The gesture surprised Amara to some extent and she was sure it was the alcohol’s influence that made her heart flutter and skip a beat.“Get lost.” Tobias commanded, his tone, calm and icy.“Fuck you, man.&rdquo
Amara's words shook Fiona to the bone and that was the core ingredient that fueled her next outburst."A threat?" She shoved Amara's shoulder, glaring even more at her as she took a daring step forward. "Who the hell do you think you've become? Having the guts to threaten me."She once again shoved Amara's shoulder. Amara clenched her jaw and tightened her fist, doing everything in her power to restrain her own anger that was slowly overlooking.But with Fiona constantly crossing the line, Amara found that to be a remarkably hard task."Fiona, I think that's enough-" Bethany tried to speak up, but in an instance, she was silenced by Fiona."Oh you keep quiet." She spat, glaring in the older female's direction with just as much hatred as she had for Amara. No, she had more hatred for Amara. Bethany's case just pissed her off because she wasn't used to having someone stand up for Amara.Heck, she wasn't even used to the new, spontaneous and su
“You don’t just give up, do you?” Bethany said, eyeing Tobias with annoyance.“I just want to apologize to her for what Fiona did, nothing more.” He explained, his eyes focused on Amara who was leaning heavily against Bethany.“Is it only Fiona’s mistake you’re going to apologize for?” Bethany response was as cryptic as it could get, but Tobias clearly understood what she meant.She was demanding an apology, not only for Fiona and Giselle’s mistake, but also his. It was because of his neglect that Amara had gone through so much at the hands of the people he considered family.Just imagining her standing in the raining and begging Fiona not to convince him to divorce her, had that unfamiliar feeling of guilt towards Amara washing over him.“I’ll take her inside, please.” Saying this, Tobias walked forward and reached out, intending to carry Amara.However, before he
Two days of headache, one horrible nightmare and lots of blank spaced memory was all it took to keep Amara away from Alcohol. Permanently.When Bethany had suggested they go drinking some time within the week, Amara did not hesitate to flat out reject the suggestion. For some ominous reason, she felt like this time around, if she got drunk and had another ridiculous blackout session, she’d end up doing something stupid, and that she wanted to avoid.Walking through the doors of her company, the first thing that caught Amara’s attention were brown boxes lined up in the reception.Was something happening today? She wanted to approach the receptionist or better yet, locate Duncan and question him until answers were provided, but before she could do either, the answer to her question literally walked out.Jasper carried more boxes in his hand, visibly frowning as he did so.Now Amara was more than curious and she approached the receptionist
