2024-10-29 19:42:56"Marco ... I want to ask you something," I said, my voice soft. The man placed the book he was reading onto the sofa side table.
Marco looked at me, his eyes filled with concern. "What is it, darling?"
I took a deep breath, trying to figure out how to phrase my question. "Do I look like your mother?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
Marco looked surprised and confused. "Why do you ask?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.
I felt my cheeks flush and I looked down. "Your father told me this morning," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
"I will answer on one condition that you tell me the truth about why you want me so much, as you said a while ago," he said, his voice full of teasing.
"Alright," I agreed.
"My mother was beautiful, but you're more beautiful than her."
I felt a warm feeling spread through my chest at his words. But I still wasn't satisfied. "But you said I remind you of your mother," I said, my voi

"Tell me what you imagined back then!"It was an order, and instantly my body stiffened. "I was upset that you didn't kiss me at the party. I touched my lips, wondering if you didn't want to kiss them.""Demonstrate. Continue."From my lips, my hands went down to my breasts, twisting the nipples. I sighed, looking at Marco from the mirror. "Did Marco not want to touch this?" My fingers went down to his waist, rubbing it. "I wanted your hands here." Then I bit my lip, slowly my hand went to the pubic

The sound of the curtains opening followed by the blinding light made my eyes flicker."Rise and shine ...."I groaned, ignoring the voice by turning my back to the light source.The bed I was sleeping on swayed gently, indicating that someone was on it. The blanket I had pulled over my body was now slowly unfurling. Someone pulled it until I felt a touch on my bare arm. "You want to waste the day off I promised you by sleeping?""Do you have a bucket list of things to do today?" I asked, not quite clear due to yawning.He laughed lightly. "Yeah... I do," he said, and I was a hundred percent sure he was talking nonsense.I turned around again, facing him who was also looking at me. "So, what's the first thing we're going to do today, Mr. 'I-Have-a-Plan'?""Take a bath together. Good idea?" He didn't let me answer and immediately lifted me off the bed.

"Here we are ...." Marco said as he steered the car towards the park. I looked at him from where I was sitting. He looked back at me, a small smile on his lips."What place is this?" I asked, feeling quite curious.Marco's smile seemed to grow more enthusiastic. "It's my favorite place in the whole world. Want to come in?" he asked as he opened my door.I nodded, infected by his enthusiasm."Come on, then." He extended his hand to me, which I gladly took.I stared at him for quite a while, unconsciously showing him a hesitant face."Wonder what's wrong?" he asked.I shrugged my shoulders. "Nothing... it's just that I think the words "your favorite place" and "park" are not something that can be combined."My heart throbbed as he laughed very softly. "Trust me ...."As we walked towards the park, I started to feel my body warm up with excitement. It felt like I was stepping into a different world."Do you like it?" Marco asked, rubbing my hand with his thumb."Yeah... I've never been t
Lusted After You 1. A Stranger
St. Louis, Missouri I'm here now, in what is considered the most dangerous city in the United States. If it wasn't for Kim, I wouldn't have bothered to travel so far just to get her this fucking file. Damn her brain for always forgetting things that are important to her and having to involve me as a delivery-girl.I took my cell phone out of my bag, dialed Kim. I hoped she would answer soon so that the incident-that-I-won’t-to-tell wouldn't happen again like last time."Hello, Leanne, are you here?" she said on the second ring."Now quickly tell me where to go?""Get a taxi, I will send you the address." From the tone in which she spoke, I could tell that she was in a hurry for some reason."Pray to your God that I always remember that you are my best friend," I said simply."I'll text you, Leanne." That was the last word before she unilaterally ended the call. Truly a person who understood gratitude.Actually, Kim is not really the type of person who is very annoying. She just gets

After Kim's departure, which was a relief, I decided to wander around for a while. Fortunately, she was in a hurry, so she wouldn't pursue her question. I succeeded in lying by saying that Pedro (our best friend) had hugged me before the flight. At least in her haste, Kim just believed what I said.It seemed like visiting fun places around here couldn't go wrong. I opened Google Map, searched for interesting places around here and found Colombus Square Park. Seven minutes away by car. Okay, not too far either.Kim is calling..."For God's sake, what is it again, Kim?" I said in an unusual tone."I'm sorry, Leanne …. Really, but I wanted to ask you one more favor. The folder I brought was wrong. Please bring—""Where did you put it?" I asked, cutting her off."I'm really sorry, Leanne," she squeaked.I let out a long breath. I was absolutely sure that right now her expression must be that of a child who had just finished standing on the corner of the wall. Coupled with the baby-like co
Lusted After You 3. A Question
"No, Isaac. I don't think she knows who I am. She did it out of humanity."That deep voice made me regain consciousness. I blinked slowly, only to discover that I was in an unfamiliar room dominated by gray and white."No. I've destroyed the CCTV and I'm still wearing gloves."I looked at a man standing with his back to me. He was wearing jeans combined with a thin white shirt with the sleeves folded up to his elbows. From here I could see his sturdy arms and beautiful back. Intending to listen to his conversation, I decided not to show any signs that I had woken up. Although I tried desperately to endure the pain in my shoulder. A thick blanket covered me up to my neck. I was eager to open it, but was afraid that the handsome man would find out about my consciousness."Let's just say I'm unlucky if it's going to be like that. You know for a fact, don't you, that I can always evade the police."Wait, what? Why is he bringing up the police? Sure enough … what if I'm involved too? No, n
Lusted After You 4. An Accident
"Who are they? Why are they following us?" I asked frantically. My heart was racing fast, my breath was ragged."Calm down, let's just say they don't like me," he replied quickly. He steered the car into a fairly quiet lane. I saw from the rearview mirror that the black sedan was still following this car."What the—aaakkkhhhh!" I screamed hysterically as the bullet fired and hit the rear windshield, making a loud shattering sound."Unbuckle your seat belt!" he ordered."What for?""Drive my car!""I can't drive with one hand.""You can use a gun?""What? Of course not!""Therefore, drive the car—"Prang!"Hurry up!"Quickly, I unbuckled my seat belt, and so did the young man. We switched positions with great difficulty, until the car felt like it was swaying right and left. I ignored the pain in my shoulder and drove the car without wearing the seat belt.He opened the desk on the dashboard and found a revolver-type firearm. He opened the car window and looked out. A shot rang out fro

He lowered his head while his hands tightened on the steering wheel. "I can't say it. I'm sorry. And now I'm even more burdened because you've helped me twice.""Then you'll have to pay," I said flatly and quickly. He looked at me with an inexplicable gaze. "Give me an explanation.""Other than that.""I don't want anything else," I retorted, not to be outdone."Then be prepared for disappointment." The young man replied softly and coldly."But you promised me."He ruffled his hair and growled, "You've turned my two principles against me." The man let out a long breath. "Well, let's just say that I'm not a man whose life is smooth and doesn't have a variety of problems chasing me wherever I go. You know, I've done something that makes them angry and eager to take my life. Are you satisfied?""I'm not really surprised," I commented in a coldly pretentious tone. Although inwardly I was thinking about what he had done to put his life in danger.The roar of the car sounded faintly, growin

Lusted After You 24. A Loving Husband
The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow on the garden. Mr. Montgomery was tending to his plants with care, his wrinkled hands expertly pruning the leaves. I approached him quietly, not wanting to startle him. He turned around and smiled when he saw me."Good morning," he said, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. "Did you sleep well?"I nodded. "Yes, I did. Thank you for letting me stay here."Mr. Montgomery waved a hand dismissively. "It's no trouble at all. I'm glad you're here. And I have to thank you, too."I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Thank me? For what?""For convincing my son to stay here for a while," he replied, his eyes twinkling. "He's been so busy with work lately that he hardly has time to stop by."I smiled at the thought of Marco coming here often. It was nice to imagine him taking a break from his busy life and spending time with his father. "I'm glad I could help," I said, feeling a sense of pride.Mr. Montgomery then turned to me and looked
Lusted After You 23. A Surprise
Are you going to talk to me again if I tell you I haven't told her?***This morning I woke up to the sound of Pedro's message notification. Last night I asked him if he had told Kim that I was in Missouri. And the answer I got this morning was a relief.I sat on the edge of the bed, stretching. Marco's side of the bed was cold. That meant he'd been up since earlier, and there was no sign of him in the room. The clock still showed eight in the morning. Had Marco left already? Did he leave this early?I finally just decided to go to the bathroom, clean myself up quickly because today I was going to surprise Kim. I can already imagine how cute Kim's slanted eyes will be when she's bulging with surprise and excitement. She would tease me like crazy and bombard me with questions if I told her what brought me to Missouri again.While passing by the window, my eyes accidentally caught something. I immediately approached the glass and looked down. There I saw Marco on his morning run with so
Lusted After You 22. A Promise
"Tell me about your nightmare."My heart rumbled in my chest. Apparently this would be the time. I thought Marco had declined the offer of a drink with his father because he wanted to do something with me, a continuation of what he'd done earlier that afternoon in the limo and a few minutes ago at the dinner table. My lips curl downward, slightly disappointed.We sat facing each other on the long sofa by the window. Marco's right elbow dug into the back of the sofa, supporting his head. He tilted his head, searching through his eyes. My jaw hardened slightly, not liking the way his gaze seemed to be able to pry into anything. What Leandra was hiding? What Leandra's past was like? Or, what was wrong with Leandra?"It's a long story," I squeaked, pressing one finger into my palm until the nail felt almost through the skin."We have plenty of time." His expression was so flat, so clear, like the calm water of a lake. However, at the bottom of that lake I knew there was a monster ready to
Lusted After You 21. A Dinner
My heart pounded incessantly as Marco led me out of the room. His thumb rubbed the back of my hand, probably trying to calm me down, but it wasn't enough. I had absolutely no idea what a host was like in a mansion of this size and luxury."I'm afraid of meeting your father," I whispered, squeezing Marco's hand as we turned into another room."Are you afraid of me?""No.""Then you'll be fine meeting my father."I frowned, wanting to ask him what he meant, but I quickly dropped it when we turned another corner and the scene in front of me was a dining table with a large number of chairs and four people sitting there.Starting at the head of the table was a middle-aged man who looked so authoritative, powerful, and seemed to have so many things in his hands. One hundred percent sure it was Marco's father, the owner of this place, the master of this mansion. He had black hair, combed neatly back like Marco used to do. I now know where Marco's dominant attitude came from. Apparently he ha
Lusted After You 20. A Wink
I began a room tour, looking for a spot where I should store our belongings. My eyes lit up at the discovery of the walk-in closet, and my lower jaw hit the floor again when I found that there were already tons of clothes inside, even women's bags and shoes.I flipped through all the hanging women's clothes, which were dominated by mini dresses, both casual and formal. Bags, shoes, and some jewelry were also neatly lined up here. All colorful, various trinkets, most of which I wouldn't be able to afford.This is crazy. Could we have entered the wrong room?I hurriedly got out of the walk-in closet, walking towards the door. Maybe Marco was still around. However, the first person I met was a man in a black suit (again). He had cropped hair and was well-built, but not much taller than Marco."Do you need anything, Miss?" he asked, noticing my surprise.I tried to act as normal as possible. "Is Marco still here?""He just left. Is there something wrong?"I muttered under my breath. Reali
