Lipsticks and guns (Book 1 in the lipstick series) Chapter 051|Make a dash for the door
Chapter 051|Make a dash for the doorHer heartbeat echoed against her own ear as she just stirred in his arms, a sheen of sweat on both their musky body but none of them was quite ready to lose the body heat. She was boneless, speechless, her legs still shaking as a result of how he had gone down on her there repeatedly, till she was begging him with tear-filled eyes to make the torturing pleasure end, to give her enough to tip her over. His arms were draped protectively around her waist and she couldn't help but grin humorlessly at the irony as her gaze fell on the calendar frame he keeps next to his bed which he made a habit of ticking off every night, the date not easing the pressure and somersaults of jumbling emotions and dangling knots she was trying so hard to cut before it roped her in, way too in.It was the 9th day and even as she came to the realization that what had transpired between them wasn't just fueled by lust or the crazy soft spot that was absurdly being carved in

Chapter 052|Closing her mind from sensibility But she was glad for Bayo's disappearance, for the recess from his hawk keen eyesight will give her enough time to get her head in the game and then kill Taiwo, just like she had promised her uncle, her people. Her family. But until then, she was going to do what she does best. Run. *** 8th day "The meeting with the minister of health is in 50 minutes," Jasmine informed Taiwo, about walking out. "Is it just me or are you bullshitting me right now?" He asked, not able to act like everything was okay, to follow up on the indifference front Jasmine was putting up, to keep on pretending that he was not shocked to see her and all her stuff in his house gone the next morning, like he had not felt a sting like he has just been slapped, when even though everything around him confirmed she had left he had personally gone to the security room and watched as she left not even looking back for a second like he meant nothing to her on the CCTV

Chapter 053|CowardSo she closed her eyes, her decision already made as she smiled at him and then brought her lips to meet his again, crumpling at his feet and allowing herself to feel just one more time because soon she will just have to do this assignment which means more to her than the others before and just as well. For her uncle. For the Native. For her.9th dayShe gulped under his heated gaze, her hands now playing with the spaghetti on her fork. They had ditched his ridiculously long dining room and had made a makeshift space right outside close to the swimming pool. The moon was out and was the only light illuminating their figures as she savoured Taiwo's culinary skill. Another thing she was just discovering and she didn't even want to stick around even more to explore. The problem wasn't just because she had to do the assignment fast because she had set for herself a deadline but also because with each day that passed, a layer of Taiwo is shredded and sh

Chapter 054|He made her feel lost and foundShe had given it a great number of thoughts recently, it won't hurt to dream she had told herself and so because being in Taiwo's arm crippled her wisdom somehow, she had flirted with the thought of having a little studio and just having a part in a child's life, teaching them how to be safe from the big bad world. Like Taiwo, she wanted to contribute her quota and she was beginning to realize that why she had grown fond of Chucks was because of how vulnerable he had looked, how much of a child he had been. But she doubted that helping children and watching them develop some basic lessons is anywhere in her near future especially when she had an empire that awaits her. Taiwo studied her intently. "You don't seem like the type that has a single fighting bone." "It would shock you if you knew how many things you don't know about me." Then she thought of what was safe to say next and what shouldn't slip as she picked her next words carefu

Chapter 055|Checking if you are still a murderer?12th day"Jasmine!" It was the fourth time in a row she was spacing out on Chucks as he filled her out on details about the 'amazing' video game, he had programmed. Apart from the fact that she didn't speak nerd, she couldn't forget the argument she had with Taiwo and how she had stormed out of his house after his profession of love for her.Flashback.His expectant eyes were immediately filled with disappointment as he left her instantly like her body was hot coal, pain flashing in his eyes and a dark look following next. "Please don't be like this. We have something amazing going on between us." She found herself mumbling as he wore his clothes. His look at her was pointed and his stare cold. "Just once, please just once tell me I mean something more to you than some booty call. Someone to scratch an itch?" There was silence for some time and he closed his eyes then he was walking back in with quick strides, a cold look o

Chapter 056|Fraternize with the Devil"Talk." His gaze bore into Bayo's noticing how reluctant he was to get into details. It only means he had nothing or his results were not in their favour. Bayo exhaled, his palms brushing his face as he took a seat adjacent to Taiwo, while Taiwo studied his every step trying to gauge and make out what he was trying not to say. "You look like a mess, malnourished and those sleeping bags? You haven't been sleeping, have you?" Taiwo's lips lifted into what was supposed to be a smile but looked awfully close to a wince. "Ouch, here I was thinking I still get them, looks." "Where is Jasmine?" His stare was knowing, his face hard. "Just glad she didn't die but just walked away, unlike the others." Bayo cursed under his breath, hating that he had trusted that she had it in her to make Taiwo happy while all she did was remind him what happy was like then dragging the carpet underneath his foot and bringing him to the ground. "You

Chapter 057|Killing Taiwo"You shouldn't bother about Chucks or dwell on his words, Sir. He has been acting up for a while now and has been unusually cranky of late." She didn't say a word for a while. He turned to leave. "What do you think, Sir Kehinde? Do you also think he is right? Perhaps my association with the outside world have changed my perception way too much and by relation, me?" He turned to meet her gaze, a polite smile on his face. "Sir__" She held his hand. "Don't regard me as the leader of this outfit but the mere child you had told Young with a hushed whisper when I first arrived here he was so fucked for being handed a child yet you had helped in raising that child proving you're also fucked by extension. Tell me the truth. Do you think I have changed?" He gazed at her for a while then smiled reminiscing old memories and how it felt just like yesterday she had stepped into this house, scared, sad and feeling like a pale pastel coloured couch am

The door opened seconds later and she dropped her robe. "Room service." The look he gave her instead of making her feel powerful, Dangerous only irritated her, her body crawling as his eyes raked her almost naked body. She knew whose hands her body wanted, whose heated gaze made her core throb. "I love you." She remembered his words. Then she was slamming the door against the man's face leaving him astounded, she was rushing out of the suite, fumbling with her phone as she did the one thing Young had always asked her to do when it got too much. She retreated. Fucking backed down and worse? She didn't deliberate on the thought that it was the first time she was leaving a mark behind her still breathing but instead all she could think of was the man who she had left after he had bared his heart out to her.

Lipsticks and guns (Book 1 in the lipstick series) Chapter 072|Goodbye
Chapter 072|GoodbyeJasmine smiled uneasily at the unfamiliar faces she met in what looked like a frat-house dormitory, who looked nothing like normal school children if their moustache was anything to go by. Deciding not to raise alarm until she has confirmed Chucks was fine and well, she followed one of the acne faced teenagers that had found her at the gate of the boarding school, confused and worried as to why the school administration denied being aware of anybody like Chucks in their school, and had told her he knew where Chucks was while making a mental note to hit her speed dial and call on one of her security guards if she suspected any foul play.She cringed at the torn dirty curtain while clutching her purse closer to her as she stepped into the dimly-lit sitting room.She all but leapt to where Chucks sat, her face glowing with pure joy but stopped when she got to where he was.“What are you doing here?” she narrowed her gaze at Kehinde who just walked into the room and th

"Be careful of what you choose to tell me, Taiwo else I promise you I would blow my brains right away and you'll have to live with the guilt that you're the reason why I'm dead." "Why are you doing this, Jasmine?" "Because you won't tell me the truth if I don't so the clock is ticking, Taiwo. Did you know?" Both their gaze clashed in the room as she placed her finger threateningly on the trigger. 5 days ago Jasmine smiled as Taiwo held onto her even with his eyes closed as she tried to slip out of his bed. “Stay,” he huskily mumbled into her ear making her groan as she wondered how a girl was supposed to say no to such a sexy throaty bedroom voice that turned her brains to mush. “You don’t play fair,” she complained pouting even as his arms wound around her waist and lined her back against his groin so she felt his erection and moaned. “And so tempting but sadly I would have

Chapter 070|Home to her "Love is knowing that the person you have that feeling for just might not be perfect, learning the ugly, the messy, the heartbreaking, the scandalous and still not able to feel differently about that same person." Her breath hitched as she told herself again and again not to have hope, not to get all excited. Not to think he was talking about her, them. "The picture of the butterfly, I can't look at it now without remembering your own crazy interpretation. It hurts so much." Her eyes met his. "So you brought it down?" She asked because that was the right, sanest thing to do unlike her who had made an unhealthy habit of strolling around Surulere like a psycho, her legs digging into the mud and her eyes welling with tears. "Yes, I removed it off the wall." Then he stood up, watching her expression as he walked towards her while she just stared. "I took it upstairs, just opposite my bed, so it was the first thing I saw when I woke up and the last when

"How are you doing?" Jasmine smiled a bit as she walked out of the threshold allowing him to walk in. "Good." He held her hand and she shrugged it off. "You have 5 minutes to say whatever you have to say. Like I told you before we have nothing to talk about but if you must take my time and yours make it snappy." He nodded and realising how easily he had made everything intense, he looked away, his eyes now on the wallpaper She wanted to kiss the frown off his face, take off his jacket and tell him just how much she missed with and how surreal it feels to have him in her house, with her but she didn't. She just stared coldly at him, taking a seat adjacent to his thankfully for once sticking to her rationality and not getting her hopes up. For all she knew, he just

"Nothing feels the same without you anymore." "This is the best decision for everyone, trust me." "Is it? The team is moving, I mean the only home you truly know, your memories with Sir Young resides there, your short but helluva impressive speeches were made in the courtyard of those homes and everything you truly hold dear is in there and I'm being whisked off to a boarding school? And you think that is the best thing?" "Sir Young would always say that home is not a place but in here," she touched the right side of her chest. "That's why wherever you go and whatever you do, it doesn't change how and what I think of you. You'll always be home to me, I'll choose you again and again and again if need be because that's what family would do." "Do you think Sir Young would have approved if he was alive?" "He w

You can't do that for her, she has to make that decision herself besides don't be too sure you still have a woman waiting for you to come to your senses at whatever pace convenient to you." He shook his head amused. "Besides even if she wants to leave all she has known all her life because of you, your track record of being an ass only makes her truly foolish at decision making just like you. Of all the girls in the world Taiwo, you just had to fall for the leader of an outfit. Classical." And then he was walking out leaving Taiwo behind with a goofy grin that soon transformed into a panic-stricken one as he immediately reach for his phone.***She flipped through the tabloids she had bought down the road against her better judgement, Taiwo's picture splashed on the front cover the only thing she cared

Going to work every day was tough enough, just gaping at Jasmine's cubicle which was still untouched like a total loser and taking it out on his assistants and work made him completely drained, angry and tired? He didn't want to deal with discussing her, he didn't want to open his mouth and say her name because then the pain in his heart would feel real, and with reality comes fear. He was stricken with fright that he just might never be able to hear that name again without feeling his insides squeezing. "Last I heard about her, she was fine." He managed to say in a tone that suggested he was both uninterested and not willing to discuss Jasmine. "Why have you only been hearing about her and not from her?" He scoffed, giving Bayo a disbelieving glare and sighing, he walks to

He ordered, opening her bag and placing a filled leaflet of a chequebook to her and stands up expecting her to hurriedly leave but he was taken aback by her voice. "Why?" None of them ever speak to him. Ever. It was precise and spelt out. Sex. Money. Nothing in-between. And he regretted not sticking to that routine with Jasmine, no he should have not neglected his instinct and would have stayed the heck away from her and now, he was suffering the consequences with this insufferable ache around his chest he couldn't shake off regardless of how hard he tried, the reason why he couldn't be with any woman, why he went to work and found himself gazing at her empty cubicle not knowing two things if he'll ever get rid of the feeling of expecting her to be there magically raising her brow at him because he was staring like nothing had happened, a sassy s
