Emery's POV"Em…"I groaned and pulled my blanket, eyes closed. I feel so comfortable and I don't wanna wake up yet but someone has been poking my arm."Emery, wake up. We need to get ready."I hissed and slowly opened my eyes. I immediately met Terrence's pair of deep blue eyes, looking down at me. We're still on the bed and my palm was resting on his hard chest while his arm was hugging my waist.I shot an eyebrow up, ignoring the rapid and abnormal beat of my heart, trying so hard to act cool."Do you really wanna go? You're hugging me so tight, Terrence."He smirked. "You're so soft. I want to hug you all night."I sighed and rested my chin in his chest, looking at his eyes. My eyes landed on the ring on my finger."You don't really have to change my ring but thanks."He smiled and his fingers started caressing my hair. "I want to. You're just my pretend wife but as long as you're with me, you are my responsibility.""You're making me so dependent on you," I said as a matter of fa
Emery's POVI stopped walking when I almost bumped into the person who suddenly appeared in front of me. I just went to the restroom for a while and I was about to go back to our table just now."Emery…"I looked at him casually. "Kreed."Kreed Morgan was my first boyfriend. I haven't seen him for a long time and now I think I know why. He must be residing in this country all these years.He was staring at me with some emotions in his eyes. "How…have you been?"I smiled. "Fine. As you can see…"He licked his bottom lip and his eyes followed the movement of my hand when I tucked my hair behind my ear. His lips parted and he swallowed hard. "You're…married?"I glanced at my ring and then smiled as I looked at him again. "Yes."He looked down and slowly lifted his face again to look at me. "It's him, right? Your husband?""Yes…"His jaws clenched as he sucked his breath and nodded again. I don't have a reason to stay any longer so I nodded at him and was about to leave when he stopped me
Emery's POV"Ah!" I arched my back and grabbed Terrence's hair when he put the peak of my bre*st in his mouth. He picked the crown and sucked it afterwards making me moan even loudly. His palms were on my back, touching, caressing.We're still on the long table. He was doing wonders on my body and it's bringing me to the pit of heavenly pleasure I only felt with him."Terrence…" A soft moan escaped my lips again when he moved to my other bre*st.My mind is in chaos. I'm drunk. Both from the blinding pleasure and the wine but I know what's happening."Babe…" He groaned as I felt his lower region rubbing against my aching core.We're both fully naked. I don't know how he managed to strip us naked without me realizing it but I don't care anymore.Terrence's palm cupped my bre*sts as he looks at me with dark lust dancing in his eyes. His jaws clenched as I looked at him with drunk eyes.We're both panting as he leaned closer and caressed my neck while his lips attacked mine again. He gent
Emery's POVSomeone's playing with my hair. I can feel it. His fingers were so gentle in spite of the callous texture of his palm. I can smell his scent and I feel so comfortable.Slowly, I opened my eyes. I was welcomed by a pair of deep blue eyes, resembling the sea that's calm whenever it should be and wild when needed. His thick eyebrows and eyelashes compliments his eyes, making it look even more deep and captivating.He smiled, showing his perfect set of white teeth and dimples. "Hey! Good morning…"A smile curved in my lips. I'm not a fan of being clingy but I like the way he's being touchy with me."Hmm," I hummed and put my hands under my pillow. "Good morning. How long have you been staring?"He smirked. "Long enough to memorize every part of your beautiful face."That made my heart race so early in the morning. I slowly pulled myself up and sat on the bed. I realized I'm wearing a robe and panties underneath but there's no bra."No bras when sleeping. That's not good for yo
Emery's POVI have to guard my heart. I know the danger of being close to him. It will push me to the pit of hell and that's the last thing I want to happen. I don't wanna end up pitying myself and regretting everything. I don't wanna end up blaming myself for not being able to stop myself from falling. I should prioritize my mother's company. Besides, my relationship with Terrence is purely lies. Nothing is real. Even his treatment, it might be fake."You sure you'll stay here tonight? I might stay at the conference until midnight."I nodded at him while lying on the bed. He's standing in front of the life-size mirror, fixing his tie. He looked very handsome and no woman could ever resist him especially if he showed them his charm.This is funny but these past few days, I always find myself appreciating his facial features and even his personality. If this isn't a sign of falling in love, I don't know what this is."I wanna rest for tonight."He nodded. "Alright! Don't wait for me."
Emery's POVTerrence didn't come back the whole day. I don't know where he went. I wanted to know but I couldn't bring myself to call him. I kept on staring at his number on my phone but I couldn't press the call button.Yes! I want him to know that what happened between us the other night doesn't mean anything to me even when the fact that I did it with him made it special.Guarding my heart was what I taught to myself because I'm afraid of getting hurt. I might lose myself. I might…ruin myself if I didn't do this.It was already 6 PM when the door swung open. An hour from now, we're going back home.My eyes followed Terrence's movement. I was sitting on the couch. Our luggages is beside me. His eyes landed on the luggages before he casually landed his eyes on me."I already called a taxi." His voice was cold and flat.Really? What made him so angry? He should be thankful that I refuse to make a big deal out of what happened between us. Don't tell me he's angry because I said it's no
Terrence's POV"You won't follow her?"My forehead creased as I turned to Tristan, annoyed. Why does he seem interested in my relationship with Emery? Is he interested in her?"She'll come back on her own," I said, trying to comfort myself and figure out a reason why I feel bad for shouting at her.I mean, I just want her to know that she's too disrespectful with my family. She even shouted at my dad who always treats her right because of what? A guitar? She can just buy another one. Much more expensive than that antique one she has."Follow her, son. Don't let her anger live inside her," dad said which made me even more annoyed.Emery's a brat and she's so full of pride. She doesn't even want any help and I doubt if she'll talk to me if I follow her."Why would he follow her? She left on her own!" Mom scoffed.I clenched my jaws and looked at mom. "Did you cut the strings of her guitar, mom?"Mom's eyes widened. "What? Are you siding with her?""I'm just asking, mom."She looked away
Emery's POVIt was already morning when I came back to the Gray's mansion. I paused when I ran into Terrence who's walking down the stairs wearing his usual attire when going to work. His eyes examined my whole body and I could only fight his stares by giving him a blank expression.His lips parted and it seemed like he wanted to say something when someone walked past him and went straight towards me."Emery, good morning."From Terrence, my eyes slowly shifted to Tristan. I nodded at him. "Good morning."He smiled. "We're about to eat breakfast. Eat with us."I immediately shook my head. "I already had breakfast at my friend's house, Tristan. Thank you.""Ow! Okay!""I'll just go upstairs to prepare."He snapped his fingers and smiled. "Oh, right! You're working in our company. Sure! We can go there together if you want.""She's riding with me, Tristan." Terrence interfered as he continued walking down the stairs.I pressed my lips together as I saw Terrence glanced at me before he e
