Lusted After You 8. I'm not a good guy
"Marco?"He froze for a second. That mysterious look of his never seemed to fade. I swear he looked at my exposed waist for a good two seconds, then back at my face.“Leandra ....” His voice floated in the air.I smiled. He remembered me this time. My subconscious had the idea of getting into the elevator, but before my feet had even taken a step, MMy subconscious was already pushing me toward the elevator, but before I could take a step, Marco closed the distance, grabbed my hand, and pulled me out onto the balcony, away from the crowd partying inside."Hey..." I greeted awkwardly. "Didn’t think I’d see you again."What a lie. I spent three days just thinking about when I would see him again."How are you here?" he asked, not looking at me. Both of his hands were holding the bars of the balcony. His gaze wandered far into the unknown.I followed the position of his body. My face was hit by the cold night breeze. "This is a party for Kim's coworker. You know, the friend I called that t

I managed to get through the sex part just fine—at least for Fred—and thank God I didn’t screw things up by accidentally saying Marco’s name. If I had, I can’t even imagine how Fred would’ve felt.My reflection in the bathroom mirror showed someone more confident, fresher, and… happier. Sleeping with Fred helped me stop wallowing over what Marco did to me. It also made me feel less pathetic, like I’d proven to myself that I could kiss (and screw) someone right after Marco decided I was only worth kissing as a transactional debt—something for his gain. And definitely not an emotional gain. My cell phone rang from inside my bag. Absolutely it was Kim."Leanne, where are you?" I could hear her lowering her voice.I leaned against the edge of the bathroom counter. "I'm with someone, no need to worry.""Someone...? Oh...," I was one hundred percent sure she was holding back a giggle. "Alright, have fun!" And with that, she hung up. So unlike her. She’s usually the type to ask a million que

At nine in the morning, I was packing my suitcase, getting ready to head back to Chicago. Kim wasn’t coming with me; she’d be staying for another three weeks or so. After that, she’d officially move to Missouri. She’d bring all her stuff once she found a permanent place. Yep, Kim was settling down in Missouri, and we’d officially be living in different cities.I knew it wasn’t going to be easy for either of us, but life moves on, right? My study in Chicago was also coming to an end. Who knows? Maybe I’d end up working in Missouri and reconnecting with Kim. Heck, we might even share a place again someday.“Make sure you don’t leave anything behind,” she said as she grabbed her car keys.I rolled my eyes. “I’m not Kimberly Zhao Chan, you know.”She groaned, half-annoyed, half-laughing. Honestly, what would she do without me always picking up the stuff she forgets everywhere? Hopefully, she’d grow out of her scatterbrained ways soon—it’s not just inconvenient for her but for everyone arou

Kim knew.Kim knew I had that dream again last night.For the past ten years—ever since my dad left me alone with my mom—I’ve been having these dreams about him. And honestly, he wasn’t even that great of a person for me to keep dreaming about him after he left. It’s not because I miss him or anything. No, these dreams are just... leftover scraps of bad memories that he didn’t bother taking with him when he disappeared.Dante wasn’t a good dad. He wasn’t a good man. Heck, he wasn’t even a decent human being. Whenever he got the chance, he’d hit Mom, forcing me to hide under the bed, clamping my own hands over my mouth, listening to the sounds of things breaking and Mom screaming.Whenever he came home drunk, it was a nightmare—for her and for me. The next morning, I’d always find Mom bruised all over. One time, I saw blood streaming down her head, and on the floor, a shattered bottle of liquor. I cried hysterically, but instead of crying with me, Mom just hugged me and told me not to w

Pedro caught on to my vibe that very night. He kept tapping on my bedroom window, calling my name over and over, like he was ready to break the glass if I didn’t answer.Dragging myself off the bed, I walked lazily to the window and pulled back the curtain. “Are you out of your mind?!” I snapped.For a moment, I saw a flash of relief on his face. “Let me in, quick!” Without waiting for my response, Pedro was already rolling up his pant legs, ready to climb.I opened the window, and he wasted no time hauling himself through, barefoot and all. “Ever heard of something called a door?”“Yeah, I know!” he said.“Hope you didn’t forget how to use it.” I walked back to my bed, giving him my most unimpressed look.“That’s not it,” he muttered. “I know what’s going on with you.”My whole body stiffened. Kim and Pedro—my closest friends—both noticed something was up. Something bad. “What do you mean?” I tried to play dumb, hoping he wasn’t about to bring up that dream.“You didn’t enjoy my crois

"Do you want to come to my house?"Marco smiled, then nodded. He picked up my tote bag on the ground that I had forgotten even existed. He then took me by the hand, walking towards the end of the alley that I had almost reached.I frowned in confusion. "Wait... you know where my house is?""Yeah, I do.""How? Don't tell me you've been spying on me?""Two days straight," he said, wiggling his eyebrows."You're insane.""Didn't I already tell you? It’s all because of you."I deliberately just followed his steps. And he really did take the path to where my house should be. He still held my hand until he reached the door."Just up to here. I didn’t dig for the passcode," he said.I punched in the code deliberately without blocking his view. When the door unlocked, I glanced at him, and he smirked."After you," I said, gesturing for him to go inside.He walked in, and I pointed to the couch. "Have a seat. I’ll just put this away," I said, trying to grab my tote from his hand.But Marco didn

Marco disappeared again.In the morning; after we'd had such a long hot night, after he'd made me cum three times; I couldn't find Marco anywhere. I'd slept so well last night that I didn't know when he'd left my bed. It was the first time I had slept so well since returning from Missouri. Marco improved my sleep quality, sure, but he’s also made sure to “surprise” me with another one of his disappearing acts.I searched every corner of the house, but he was nowhere to be found. No signs, no clues, nothing. If it weren’t for the red marks and soreness all over my body, I’d think last night’s wild ride was nothing but a vivid dream.The doorbell rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I rushed to open it, my heart stupidly hoping it’d be Marco. My smile instantly dropped when it wasn’t him. It was Pedro. Crap, I forgot he’s been showing up every morning for the past four days, nagging me about my eating habits.“You were expecting someone else, huh?” Pedro smirked, catching my disappointed

"So, where are you going to start?" I finally asked. Just staying silent while next to him would only make me more nervous. Marco is the kind of person that just looking at him will make you feel small, feel inferior, feel ready to be his servant whenever he asks."What is it?" Even though I didn't see him, I was pretty sure that Marco said it without looking at me either."I don't think we're just here for a picnic.""Neither did I. I was thinking of many ways to make you scream."I turned to him instantly. My cheeks were flushed, but I tried to cover it up. "I'm talking seriously."Marco sighed as he raised his sunglasses to his head, then looked at me. "It's complex. You'll get mixed up."I got up from my lying position and sat cross-legged on a beach bench. My hand-woven hat, which I got as a souvenir from Bali, was very useful in blocking out the sun. "The only thing that confuses me is your mysterious demeanor, Marco. I don't even know your last name.He froze."Let's start from

"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

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. "Considering you always wake up when I'm all dressed up."I smacked his chest, he laughed loudly. He walked me to the bathroom, still

"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
Lusted After You 25. A Story
"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

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

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
