It was torture to sit through the dinner table with Kai sitting right in front of me, and it was another thing that my father was acting like he was head over heels for Kai's mother. He looked more interested in eating her than the finely cooked food. Talk about being smitten! I wanted to yell out in frustration and throw both Kai and his mother out of the house. This couldn't be happening. I wouldn't let this relationship last. It was a good thing that my father couldn't keep his women. It was a matter of time before he threw her away like a used tissue paper. I just had to tolerate her and Kai for a little while. Surely, I could do that. “So, what do you do, Kylie?” My middle brother, Matthew, started a conversion. He went on a first name basis with her as if he knew her for ages. Sometimes, I hated how friendly and easy-going he was. “Yeah, tell us, Kylie. What do you do apart from seducing rich guys?” I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I stunned everyone at the table with my r
“I- I mean. It's freaking delicious.” I desperately hoped they would buy my excuse, “I'm sorry for my inappropriate use of language.” I apologized immediately, feeling mom's burning eyes on me. Alright, I managed to ruin her picture perfect image in front of the flawed family of her boyfriend. “You didn't apologize when you called me a whore. Is it a good word in your dictionary?” Hunter remarked, enjoying his food while still keeping his foot on my lap. “It's the truth. My mom taught me not to be ever apologetic about telling the truth.” I retorted, pinching his foot so that he would finally free me from the misery. I hated Hunter with every fiber of my body, there was no denying that. However, my bodily desire couldn't free itself from his iron grip. Even after he was forced to remove his foot from my crotch, I was still held prisoner against my will by the desire that ran in my pulse. It reminded me of the day when it all began. That day changed how we saw each other and I lear
The next thing I knew was that I was pressed against the wall with Hunter behind me. Despite my best attempt, my eyes flew towards his dick. It was still standing tall. My breathing grew uneven, excitement running thick in my veins. I wanted to fight these feelings, but I was helpless against it. I just let Hunter drag me like a rag doll and slam me against the wall. His dick wasn't the only impressive thing about him. He had defined abs which made me want to drool and run my fingers over them, feel them. Hunter smirked, looking at me hungrily. He knew exactly what I was thinking and it amused him. Unfortunately, I found it exciting. It's not everyday I let someone manhandle me. “Aren't you a little pervert?” He mused, taking my chin in his hand roughly. I stared into his brown eyes. I found nothing but a mixture of lust and amusement. I wanted to yell at him and debunk his accusation. I wanted to shove his hand away because his hold was starting to hurt. His rough hand was gonna l
PRESENT DAY **** He looked lost in thoughts. I didn't know if he was thinking about the same thing as me. I didn't intend to be so playful with him. It wasn't on my agenda. But I couldn't help myself from teaching him a lesson. But boy, was I being flustered as well? Why did it bring me down the memory lane? His flushed cheeks reminded me of the earlier days of our unusual pact. “But you still didn't tell us what you actually do.” Matthew drew on, hanging on the same topic and pulling me back from my thoughts. I realised that I was staring at him. Rolling my eyes at myself, I took the dessert and started eating it, trying not to look at Kai and his tempting red face. I was getting excited down there and it was not something I was proud of. I needed to get out of here as soon as possible. “Portraits. I'm kind of an expert at drawing and painting portraits.” Kai finally answered, his tone uncertain. The table engaged in small talks again. Kai and his mother were the centre
“How long does it take to dig up someone's life?” I grumbled on the phone, spinning a pen around my finger as I leaned on my chair. “Plenty.” Came a reply from the other side of the phone, “Dude, it's been just a day, and I've already sent you a report.” I sighed. What's the use of having a detective best buddy when he couldn't do something useful when I needed something done? “You did, but it was all bullshit. It's about what she does great in her life and blah blah blah.” I replied, aggressively signing some documents. “Where's the dirt?” I asked desperately. I needed it badly so that I could break off the engagement before it even took place. That's what I had been thinking ever since that night and it has already been two days. “As far as I know, this lady is clean. She is a respectable nurse, does charity every now and then, no drug or alcohol history-” I stopped him before he could waste more of my time by listing down good things about her. “There must be something.” I mu
The vibration of my phone made me groan in my sleep. Ignoring the unstoppable vibration, I turned to my other side with a pillow over my head. “Your phone is ringing.” A voice beside me grunted, making me shoot my eyes open faster than the lighting.One look at the man who was sleeping beside me made all the memories rush into my mind, and the panic of finding another man on my bed subsided. Calming my racing heart, I grabbed my phone with a scowl on my face. “What?” I let out an annoyed grunt without even looking at the caller id. “Dude, where are you?” My best friend's voice came through, and somehow, he sounded more annoyed than me. A yawn stopped me from snapping at my friend. It's not like he did something to annoy me. I was just sore all over, and the reason was sleeping beside me on the bed.“What happened for you to call me in the middle of the night, Alex?” I complained before hitting my head on the soft pillow once again. “Seriously, it's too early to do drugs, Kai. My
It's not like I hated my high school. I had a lot of happy memories attached to it. I was the school president, after all. I was hated by a few for my uptight personality but the rest were chill with me. Expect a certain troublemaker and his gang. He hated me as much as I hated him. Hunter Steele, the man I couldn't forget even after ten years. It's not because he was someone special to me. It's because he was someone I despised more than anyone and it was rare for me to hate anyone. Though I was well respected at school, it didn't mean I was keen on coming back to the reunion. I hardly had any contact with anyone from school so it didn't make sense for me to come here. If only it weren't for Hunter Steele. “I don't feel good about it, Kai.” Alex droned near my ear, making me huff out of frustration. “Alex, will you stop worrying over nothing?” My annoyance was evident on my face. One look at my face and he understood he was overreacting. He took a drink from a passing waiter,
From the moment I walked into this stupid reunion, my eyes were always on him. He might have thought I didn't even notice him. How could I not notice him when he looked so beautiful? He looked just how I imagined him to look. His brown hair made his skin look paler while his bright blue eyes made him look brighter than anything anyone's eyes could land on. And of course he still used those nerdy glasses of his. Too much time had passed and he was still predictable. Only if I knew his kind before. His beauty was nothing but a facade. A facade to draw people in and then take advantage of them. He was the definition of looks could be deceiving. I tried not to let him affect me. But somehow he managed to reduce me to my teenage self, to my vindictive self. I had grown a lot, developed a fucking personality since I left high school but just one look at him and I was back to being an ass. I watched him with a malicious glint in my eyes. It was gonna be fun. I knew he was thinking he woul
