"Where have you been?" Harvey asked as I came closer to him. "Ladies room." "Let's go. I'll get you home first." he stated. "Why the hurry?"I asked taking my hand bag while signalling for Sam to stand we are about to leave. " Tomorrow I'll be heading to Texas for a business meeting. "he stated. " What! "I spoke out loudly. He only eyed me for a second there before he got a call. By the looks of it, it was an emergency one. " Wait here I'll go take this. " Couple of minutes late he was back. " Sam can I trust you with Bel, to take her home?"He asked her. " Yah sure. "she responded. " Sorry babe I know this is so sudden but I have to go. You get home safely. I'll call you when I get there. " A simple peck was all that he could afford. Soon he was nowhere to be seen. Sam came running up to me. " Now we have the night to ourselves." she screamed at the top of her lungs. That moment, I know I should be happy but I don't know why I had a bad gut feeling about all this. All the moods for the night disappeared into thin air. Felt so empty inside me. Now I was only thinking about sleep. "Bel, don't be like that. This is an amazing opportunity that we will never have in future days." she tried putting some sense into me. "I quit Sam. Am off to home." With that I hanged my bag on my shoulder, as I took a step away from Sam there he was the guy who I have come to conclude with him I am not in the right sense of mind. "Leaving so soon." It was more like a statement than a question. "Yah." I spoke as I tried walking away. "You okay?" he asked concern written all over his face. "Don't mind her. She moody." I heard Sam speak while walking away without answering. "Bel, wait I haven't order an Uber" Sam spoke while I qmade way through the crowd. Soon I stood at the exit waiting for Sam to show herself. It has been like five minutes and she was nowhere to be seen. "Bel, get in." there it was Sam's voice. She was at the back seat of a Jeep. I saw Neal pocking his face to see me. The driver, it was Aidan. I must be damned if I entered that car. On the other hand it was fucking cold out here. Quickly I made to the jeep and settled in before the cold could freeze me to death. "Here." Aidan handed me a jacket. "You never share your clothes." I heard Neal speak from the back seat. My eyes flashed to Aidan's direction. He didn't utter a single word till I took the jacket from him. "One more word from you and you will walk back home." He warned. Something about him told me he wasn't joking. Neal obeyed and remained shut. The two back seat seems to be getting along well. They talked laughed made jokes. I envied how it was so easy for Sam to connect so fast. Aidan and I remained silent the entire drive. I chose to take a nap. I was exhausted and the thought of Harvey leaving all of a sudden didn't seat well with me. "Wake up Bel." I struggled to open my eyes when I heard my name being called. There I was rubbing them gently before opening them. Damn be this guy. His eyes were on mine staring deep into mines. For a second there I could actually sense I was nervous about the whole situation. "Where are we?" I asked in a low voice after quickly roaming my eyes past Aidan to the surrounding. "Why don't you see for yourself." he stated while stretching his hand for me to hold onto when I alight the car. Damn the house was a castle meant for a king. "Am I in heaven?" I asked. That was literally the only thing I had in mind. "You wish." Sam said walking away. I followed suit too. The house was magnificent. "Welcome aboard." Neal spoke as he opened the door. "Wow." Sam said. I agree this was something out of this world. Just starting from the drive way down lane to the entrance of the house. It was more organised compared to my apartment. So clean but the atmosphere was of adulthood. Plain black and grey was what the interior made of. Compared to my apartment which had colours of the rainbow. "Anyone drinks?" Neal asked. This Sam couldn't afford to raincheck. "Yeah." she responded. We all eyed her. "What! It's rich people's scotch I can never say no to that." Just like that we settled in for the night. I had countless debates in my head trying to figure out what kind of work Aidan could possibly be doing to get such a mansion. Not even Harvey as such. He owns a big house just not this big and classy. " Are you okay?" Aidan asked. "Yeah." I whispered. "You don't know how to lie you know that right?" For a second there our eyes met. He was sitting right besides me slouching in the couch looking to my direction. I got nervous breaking up our eye contact. Yet one way he got closer dragging back my eyes back to his. " I'll get you to bed. "he finally spoke. Checking out Sam she had already dozed off. Well it was bound to happen. She had drowned herself with drinks. Neal was still on but he looked tipsy. " Get her to bed. " heard Aidan tell Neal. Soon he was leading me to my supposed room. Up the stairs to the third floor, far end of the hallway I spotted a two doors opposite each other other. "Here." he stated opening the door. It was dark yet I made out several features. The room looked pretty simple and tidy. On the other hand it had several antiques that kind off looked expensive. "So this is goodnight?" he asked leaning on the door post. "Yeah." I answered. There he was leaning in closing the space between us. "Don't worry your pretty head with meaningless stuffs. He will be back." For a while I watched him speak then I slightly nodded.

For couple of seconds he stared at me before taking a step in."So where am I going to sleep if you take the whole room to yourself?" He asked."This is your room?" I asked curiously.No wonder it smelt more like him. I did think about it but pushed the thought away when he didn't complain at first. "I had no idea. I thought it was a guest room or something..." I spoke shyly. "Guest room on the upper deck. Seriously." he teased. "You are so bad at guessing. You do know that. Right?" That was more like an insult but judging from everything he had I'd say that's where all this money had gotten him into. Bad behaviour accompanied by money. "You spaced. Mind telling me what your pretty little brain was working on?" He spoke while slowly taking steps towards me.Felt nervous instantly and stepped away. The next thing I find myself in his arms."If we are going to share the room, I'll put up some rules." I stated in order to avoid the awkwardness I felt inside as his tight grip on my

Quickly I crouched, leaned forward past his arms and walked away to the changing room. My instincts kicked in when I felt him following close behind me. Even though I wanted to run away and escape him, I knew very well it could get ugly and I'd end up embarrassing myself. "So you are just going to watch me change or what?" I asked once we stepped in the changing room. "Remember when I told you in the shower to let me help?" He asked coming closer, eyes fixed on mine. "So... Are you going to help me change?" I whispered jokingly. Whatever was going on in his mind, I could tell he was nowhere being a normal guy. He was more like a physho or maybe worse. Slightly a smile that turned into a smirk then it became dangerous. "Do you...want me...to."He dragged. Slowly, I pushed him out and locked myself in. The nerve of this guy. He was beyond any expectation I had for the rich. It was so impossible to believe that this world could ever produce such a perverted and despicable

Aidan's Pov "Please don't" she begged once I landed my lips against her heat. Yeah she did try to push me away but I held a firm grip on her thighs pinning her to the bed. I was already greedy about her body. Wanting her all to myself was an understatement. This night I was willing to learn about every curve, every bump, every scar she had on her body. There I was ignoring all her please and no's. I knew she would like it once I was done. Better say sorry than ask for permission. Twisting and turning my tough on her. She tasted so sweet. At first I wanted to go slow but she made it hard when her legs became shaky after a few minutes of teasing her. "Aidan..." she moaned again. I don't think I'll ever take any woman to bed again if this is what she offer. She was my little angel and I wanted to demonise her and switch her on to my tune. Forgetting myself I sucked her perfectly making all kinds of noises. The pleasure was too much and unbearable that I couldn't stop fucking

The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast shadows across the room, making everything feel smaller, more intimate. But the space between us felt impossibly wide.Truth be told. Here I was messing around with her knowing clearly she was already with someone else. Just like that reality hit in. She can never be mine. She already belongs to someone else. Watching her guiltiness flushed all over her face. Slightly she loosen her arms around me. She hadn’t spoken in a while, and the silence was suffocating. "Please don't. Let me savior in what you have to offer. I might never get to hold you or be held by someone else." I stated. For a while there we were both silent. I could hear the distant hum of the city outside, but inside this room, the only sound was the unsteady rhythm of my breathing. Everything I dreamt of came crumbling down when I finally came to terms that she was no more than a night stand for me. She was everything a man would ever want but she belonged to someone else. “

Adrian's povI sat across Neal, staring at my laptop , the soft hum of the fan was the only sound filling the empty room. A week. Seven whole days since I last saw her. It felt longer, like time had stretched, making every hour without her presence feel heavier.I hadn’t expected to miss her this much. We weren’t anything—at least, not yet. But ever since that night, when I held her closer to me. when her eyes had met mine like she saw something in me worth looking at. I hadn’t been able to shake the feeling that she was different. That she mattered.My phone sat on the office table, untouched. I had thought about texting her a hundred times, but what would I even say? Hey, I can’t stop thinking about you? Too much. Hope you’re doing well? Too little. So I said nothing.Sighing, I ran a hand through my hair, frustration bubbling in my chest. Was she thinking about me too? Or had she already moved on, leaving that night as nothing more than a passing moment?I stretched out, pressed my

I pulled back, led her to the bed and sat us down. For a second there I stared at thin air thinking, she slouched a little while asking about what I was thinking. I had my hands fidgeting with the edge of a bunny doll ear, my words carefully measured but brimming with unspoken truths. "It's... it's been strange, these past two weeks," I began, my gaze flickering between her eyes and the doll, as if afraid of what she might see if I held her gaze too long. "I've been thinking a lot-about everything, about us. I mean, not us, but..."I dragged trailing off, My voice faltering under the weight of what I wasn't saying. A nervous chuckle escaped me as I rubbed the back of my neck, heart pounding against the walls of restraint. "I just-look Nadia, I don't know how to say this without sounding more ridiculous, but you've been on my mind more than I'd like to admit." My voice softened. "I don't want to make things harder for you... or for me. But I had to see you again." I stopped, bitin

Nadia's pov I sat on the made up bed in front of the TV, a little bit far from it. My fingers absentmindedly tracing the rim of my wine glass, my heart caught in a whirlwind of emotions. I couldn't quite make sense of. The dim glow of the TV flickered across the room, casting elongated shadows over the furniture. The muted chatter of Samantha and Neal filling the comfortable silence between scenes. But for me, comfort was the last thing I felt. Across from me, Aidan sat with an easy smile, his arm draped casually over the back of the couch, his presence warm and undeniable. He was happy, and why wouldn't he be? After a week of unspoken tension, stolen glances, and conversations that hinted at something deeper, I had finally given him an answer-one that came in the form of a kiss, soft and tentative but full of meaning. "Stay," I had whispered to him, my heart pounding in a way it hadn't in a long time. And Aidan had smiled, that boyish, confident grin of his, pulling me close as

"My eyes are up here." he spoke while tilting my face back to his eyes with his index finger. I did not notice how my eyes went from eyes to chest, what made me nervous was how he looked at me with so much lust. His lips were plum that I wanted to have a taste too. " Want a taste?"he asked out of the blues. This got me off guard. I blushed. He must have seen it since he aligned his eyes with mine. Doing the three triangle formula from my eyes to my lips then back to my eyes. " What are you doing? "I asked pushing him slightly away. " I like you. "he stated blindly. " What! You pervert.

She looked so s
