Zoe still had her pride. If he wasn’t going to take the final leap, then she wasn’t about to beg for him to give it to her. It was the dead of night and she was cuddling in his embrace, listening to his heartbeat quietly. “What’s on your mind, Mason?”Holding her tight, he said affectionately, “You’re a little different tonight.”She lied and said, “It’s probably because I’m reluctant to leave Hucksburgh. It’s a beautiful city.”Chuckling, he said, “If you love it, we can stay longer the next time we come here. What do you say if we bring Yanni and Jamie along?”Instead of responding to him, she snuggled up to his neck. She had decided. She’d leave him. He might not be thrilled with it, but he was such a proud man that she was sure he wouldn’t get hung up over a lady. She knew that she wasn’t that important to him. Even if she was gone, Ramona would be there to soothe him and make him happy!However, that didn’t mean she didn’t have any trouble leaving him behind. She ha
Raindrops splashed on her face and eyelids.What did he just say?Blinking slowly, she raised her head and looked at him. Cupping her cold cheeks, he said in a deep, threatening tone. In fact, he was practically barking at her, “Nobody’s waiting for you! I’m the only one you have now! Look how you filled out single in the marital status box! You simply don’t have to worry about doing something immoral when we’re together. You aren’t disloyal to anyone.”Holding the document in her hand, she pulled it closer to her face. After a brief moment, her lips trembled lightly.She wasn’t married!She didn’t have a husband!However, did that mean she should accept Mason as her boyfriend? Was he serious about their relationship? Or, was he going to dump her after he had had his fun with her?Before she could even ask him about it, he held her delicate cheeks and looked at her solemnly. His eyes were as lustful as they were seductive. Then, he kissed her roughly. Pulling her into hi
It kept pouring outside.The bed in the cramped bedroom creaked rhythmically along with both Mason's and Zoe’s movements. Top that off with his panting and her sensual moans, it was truly a tantalizing sight to behold. He was thrusting deep into her as she caressed his dashing features. Someone like Mason would never resort to trickery and lies to get to her. She knew that. The document was a real one. She did fill out single in the marital status box. That meant she didn’t have a husband. However, she still couldn’t help but start doubting it!He was still humping like crazy when she held his neck and stopped him. There was a hint of hesitation in her voice. “T-There are stretch marks on my belly.”She just couldn’t let it go. However, Mason was in the throes of an erotic passion. How was he supposed to stop?With that said, he needed to take care of her feelings. So, he caressed her cheeks and asked tremblingly, “Will you show them to me?”“Okay.” She responded. Then, sh
Mason kissed her ear and said tenderly, “I’ll make dinner!”Zoe still hadn’t gotten used to it. She wanted to get up, but he put her back to bed, hugged her, and kissed her. “We’ve been at it for quite long. Get some shut-eye! I’ll call you when dinner’s ready.”Ever since she lost her memories, she had suffered a lot. It had never occurred to her that she’d ever be loved this way, let alone by someone as wealthy and powerful as Mason. Raising her head to look at him, her eyes were filled with tears.It broke his heart to see her like this. Lowering his head, he kissed her eyelids. Then, he put on his dried shirt and walked into the kitchen. Zoe might’ve just cooked for herself, but there were plenty of ingredients in his fridge. He made two servings of chicken and rice casserole as well as tomato soup. After that, he checked on Zoe in the bedroom and saw that she had fallen asleep. So, he went outside to buy an ointment for her.After all, he knew just how rough and thrilling
Mason pulled out a cigarette, but he didn’t light it.His eyes grew darker. She wasn’t sure what was on his mind. Worried that he might’ve gotten upset, she soothed him in an affectionate tone, “I’ve got my own salary! I was reluctant to spend it before. “Now, I can spend a portion of it whenever I feel like it! I can rent myself a bigger apartment with it. What do you think?”She loved him and she was willing to let go of her pride for him. “Furthermore, I’ve got nothing now, Mason! Just let me build up my savings so I can buy an apartment for myself in the near future. It means a lot to me.”What she said finally convinced him. With cigarette still in his fingers, he leaned in and kissed her. Then, he pressed his forehead against hers and murmured, “I’ll hunt for a suitable apartment for you and that’s that!”She didn’t want to bring him down again. She said, “Okay.”He kissed her briefly again before smacking her ample behind lightly, asking her to clean the dishes. It was
Hanging up the phone, Mason went back inside. Zoe was already awake and making breakfast. Dressed in light-colored casual wear, she tied her hair up, revealing her fair neck. Underneath the gentle glow of the morning light, she looked tender and delicate.Hugging her from behind, he kissed her neck and said, “Something came up. I can’t have breakfast with you! I’ll give you your new apartment’s key and address. You can swing by and take a look at it when you have the time. I’ll help you move in in a couple of days.”She responded, “Okay.”Then, he kissed her again and said in the most affectionate tone, “You don’t have to go to work if it still hurts.”She couldn’t help but retort. “It doesn’t hurt anymore!”He said deliberately, “Geez. Then, that means…”Pushing him away, she murmured, “You said that there’s an emergency! Hit the road already.”All of a sudden, he pinned her on the kitchen door and kissed her roughly. Slipping in his tongue, he tasted every corner of her mout
Ever since Zoe went missing, Noah spent the past year trying to move his business from Silvercrest to Brookesville. Lockwood Corporation was still the top group company in the city’s latest financial evaluation, with Leslie’s and Noah’s companies not far behind.The Schmidts had been building up their businesses for generations, while Noah singlehandedly brought his company up to its glorious state now. Needless to say, he partook in unconventional and ruthless methods to attain success.Now that he traveled back to Brookesville, Gwynn was left behind in Nihonburg. She was still the same after all these years. Her mind was still that of a child, always clinging to him. She was fearful of him, but she could never leave him.She gave birth to a boy. His name was Lorian and his father took care of him most of the time!Gwynn, however, had never been close to her son. Her appearance and her mind were akin to those of a teenager’s. For the past six months, she’d fought back most vehemen
Clearing his throat, he said, “Yeah! I was with Alice yesterday.”She said fondly, “Geez. She’s mom. Why would you call her Alice instead? How shameless of you, Daddy.”Mason didn’t have a good comeback for that. He waited until the black limousine was far away before he looked at Mia and said, “Did Yanni just sass me?”She responded, “If the boot fits!”He touched his nose in response. However, he simply had too much of a good time last night. So, he didn’t let it bother him. He carried Jamie in his arms and kissed him, “Mom’s going to be back soon. You don’t have to call her Alice anymore.”Jamie might’ve been a little boy, but he knew what was going on. “Daddy loves Alice.”This time, both Mason and Mia chuckled. She grumbled light-heartedly, “It’s your fault. You didn’t do a good job with both of your kids. Now, they have sharp tongues. Zoe’s going to get on your case!”Underneath the morning sunlight, he said in a serene smile, “I’ll soothe her when that happens.”Tears fi
