Tim Walker's hardware company was a gigantic skyscraper in the heart of town. It looked like an old Soviet factory outfitted with modern amenities.

There was nothing special about the exterior but inside was well put together. Everything was well ordered from the reception room to the elevators which all had their own dedicated lifts.

The company had been going strong for nearly thirty years and its owner was proud of that fact. Guests streamed into the venue, including Chadwick and I. Although I was laid back while Chadwick mingled with other tech enthusiasts, who were eager for the product display.

We walked through the door into a vast conference hall with an enormous flat screen hanging at one end of the room. A few people scattered around seemed engrossed in their devices as they spoke quietly amongst themselves.

My heart banged against my rib cage when cameras flashed, capturing the scene and documenting the launch. I ducked my head feeling uncomfortable and wishing

    Ashanti Carmen glowed in her eyes and laughed with a bubbling joy. We were getting ready for the picnic with Chad and Ken and Carmen bounced around the room and could not stop giggling. She put some apples and grapes into the baskets and chuckled. "I can not wait to see him again." Watching her reaction left me speechless. I have never seen Carmen so happy like this. “Come on, Carmen, what is up with your lack of restraint? It is only a picnic. Nobody is engaging you.” "Girl," she drawled. "Ken is fucking hot, my dream man. I need your help choosing what to wear. I need to be perfect to impress him." My mouth dropped open to say something, but nothing came out. She kept raving about Ken while glancing off into the distance. When I did not answer her question about whether girls were swarming around Ken in the office, she clasped my hand. "Not that I am aware of," I uttered, snapping out of my thoughts. "But you don't have to be so desperate for him or any guy in particular." Be

    ChadwickAshanti's lips formed a thin line as her gaze dropped slightly. She had a frown on her face. She kept crossing and uncrossing her arms as she was lost in thought and her mind racing."Relax," I said, pulling her into my arms and loving the occasional jolt of him, brushing my thigh. I could not believe how her wild touch sent a warning shiver down my spine."I am at ease," she muttered.“What is occupying your thoughts, then? You're not present at the moment. Look around you, everyone is having fun."She grimaced when I pointed out a happy girl jumping on her partner's dick."Ugh," she groaned, her nose turning up in disgust. “For the love of Pete, this is public property. Why do they keep desecrating it?"I found her response amusing, and I burst out laughing."Coming from someone who flirted with me behind a graveyard?"Glancing at me, she looked ten years younger, her soft curves fitting my body as she buried her face against my throat."I'm just worried, that's all," she si

    Bored as hell and tired of hearing Carmen yap about how hot and handsome Ken was, I supported my chin and head with my hand and swirled my hair repetitively. Her grin was too wide, and she bounced from foot to foot, bubbling and verbalizing her thoughts and feelings without hesitation. "... And he has the most amazing smile, don't you think? He's so charming. I can't believe he asked me to go to the picnic with him. He must really like me, right?" I nodded politely and shrugged, but she didn't notice my lack of enthusiasm. "We have so much in common, you know. Ken is a really private and conservative person. He's so sweet and not like other guys who just want to get into my panties to see what's underneath." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. "He's the one for me,” she sighed wistfully. "Yeah," I said, trying to sound interested. “Guys like this are so hard to find. Oof!" “Carmen, I'm happy for you,” I said, leaning into my seat, “I am, but don't you think you're moving a

    ChadwickBursting into the police station, I looked around frantically, searching for someone who could help me. I was sweating so badly, and Ken rushed behind me.A uniformed officer at the front desk was on a call. Breathless and panicking with fear almost eating me alive, I demanded his attention."Please help me. My son is missing," I said.The officer looked up and frowned. He was a middle-aged man with a mustache and stern expression. My frantic energy drew the attention of officers stationed at the front desk.They were accustomed to handling distressed people and remained professional."Sir, please lower your voice and take a deep breath," he said. I gasped for air, trying to control my panic, and felt Ken's hand on my shoulder squeezing tightly.Ken, who was behind me, explained that my son was missing and his window was found open."Sir, you'll have to fill out a missing person report," they said, "and provide as much detail as possible about his appearance and any distingui

    Each step I took was a battle as I stumbled through the doorway; the pain sliced through my chest, and I had to stop the bleeding.It was almost 3:00 AM. My housemates were sound asleep, and everywhere was silent—or so I thought.The thick blood pooled at my feet, causing my vision to waver. A frightening chill went down my spine when I remembered the evil werewolves I had just fought and how it was a miracle to have escaped them—all for Chadwick.I hated the stream of blood staining the tiled floor because I was already dizzy, and I didn't want to cause Harrison and Carmen to panic.Cursing under my breath, I headed to the bathroom for the first aid kit when I almost stumbled upon seeing Carmen perched on the couch with her laptop, working away.Shit!When she glanced up, her face morphed into a concerned frown. "Why are you sneaking into the house? You're an adult and can come and go as you please as long as you're safe."Swallowing the pain, I could only manage a nod and a faint sm

    AshantiExhaling loudly and rubbing the back of my neck, I was so displeased that Carmen didn't listen to me.Chadwick had a lot on his plate, and he would begin to suspect something since all the incidents were happening in one night."I'll get the door," she chirped. Harrison was about to say something, but my eyes sent him a private message to remain quiet.The front door swung open, and I watched as Chadwick and Ken entered the house. Chadwick wasted no time and rushed to my side, kneeling before me with concern on his face."What happened to you?" he asked, breathing loudly while examining the wound on my leg. Ken perched on the edge of the sofa opposite me, his brows drawing together, looking worried.I tried hard to mask my annoyance towards Carmen with a weak smile."Seriously, guys, you shouldn't have come. It's just a scratch, and I don't know why Carmen bothered you tonight with this minor thing. Let's not make a big deal out of it.""It's a big deal," Ken cut me off, while

    Ashanti Chadwick and I stumbled like drunks into bed and the headboard rattled. He brushed his lips to mine and pulled me closer, causing me to laugh. You're getting a little too eager.” I smirked. “What if I say I'm not in the mood for sex?” He ignored me, kissing me slowly and tenderly as I responded by pressing my body against his and kissing his lips back. “I know you want me. And I'm eager because you are gorgeous and sexy enough to make me horny all the time. I know you're a bit shaken and I'll have to exercise self-control until you feel better.” There was a hint of sadness in his tone. If only he knew the degree of lust that burned in my brain and how impossible it was to think of anything else. “And who says I'm too weak to take some dick?” I kissed his jawline, and his hands roamed over my sides and hips. The soft groan that escaped his throat caused my heart to beat faster. Damn that sweet sound; it could drive me crazy. He made me lie on my side with him behind m

    Chadwick I lay beside Ashanti on the bed, watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful and beautiful, her ginger curls framing her face and her lips slightly parted. How did I get so fucking lucky? A relaxed smile crossed my face as I felt a tsunami of love for her. My whole mood lifted as I tilted my head slightly to the side and admired her. Her chest rose and fell gently and I loved the faint freckles on her nose. A warmth spread throughout my chest and my face felt stretched from too much smiling. I wanted the feeling to last forever. I toyed with the idea of asking her to move in with me. Her apartment was too tiny for even a single person, let alone two housemates. Our schedules were compatible. She was my secretary after all. We both enjoyed being around each other and I wanted nothing more than to spend every waking moment with her, especially mornings where I’d have a boner from my lack of sex. Fucking her in the morning would be a blast. My cock twitched at this th

    Vespa's POVEvery detail about my wedding day brought joyful tears to my eyes. The tears were silent but uncontainable. I didn't mind that I was ruining my makeup in the process. On a beautiful summer afternoon, the biggest event of my life was about to take place. I felt like a fairytale princess and Kai made sure every detail I asked for in my dress and the decor was fulfilled. An archway adorned with roses and peonies, a velvet aisle runner that led me to my happily ever after. My fucking mermaid gown and a tiara, and oh, my groom who truly made my heart sing. This day was the start of our forever. Weak-kneed with excitement, I stood outside the majestic Moon Goddess Temple, a white, three-storey building with white marble pillars. My brother, Luke, waited for me with a warm smile, ready to walk me down the aisle.“You’re a gorgeous bride, sister. And it's not just your looks but the energy surrounding you. I’m glad you found happiness.”With a playful wink, his blue eyes twinkl

    The taxi drove away from George's family mansion and I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I was finally free from their judgmental eyes and condescending smiles. I felt a bottomless peace and satisfaction wash over me, relieved to be out of George's claws. I'd thought he was different, but it turned out he was just like the rest of them.Fucking manipulative bastard. After paying the taxi driver, I stood outside Grandma Zora's house and let out a swoosh of air. I was hesitant to go inside, wondering if I should tell Grandma Zora and Ziah everything that had gone down with George. But I knew that if I did, Ziah would likely go mental and attack George. He had a temper, and I didn't want to make things worse. I stood there for a few moments, weighing my options. Part of me wanted to spill everything, to let someone know the truth about George's family and their cruel words. But another part of me wanted to keep it inside. I decided to keep quiet and headed inside.My gaze landed o

My hands fell to my side, and I felt so heavy with regret.She stood there, her hands on her cheek, horrified like a child who had just witnessed something horrible. She blinked slowly and couldn't believe what had just happened.I trembled and slammed my fist on the couch. She took a step back, thinking I was going to hit her.“What the fuck?” Her voice cracked. It was a low tone of disbelief. “You hit me!?”“Camilla, I—”She turned away from me, and I felt a pang of guilt. What the fuck have I done?I had tried to control myself but couldn't. I was consumed by a jealous rage, and I blamed her for it. She went to fuck Ziah. I could bet on that with my last cent.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

    CamillaI tried and failed to restrain my smile when I overheard Lisa fuming at Paul.She was saying that I didn't deserve to release a single so early in my career and that no one ever got such luck.Lisa was a jealous sadist, and at the same time, she wasn't wrong. I was too lucky to have found Paul, who cherished my musical talent and gave me a chance.I covered my face with my bag and warmth spread through my body, satisfied that Lisa couldn't stop Paul from helping me. I didn't understand why she was so bitter and consumed by jealousy.It was ironic that she felt envious of my success when she had her own unique voice and sang better than me. I counted my good fortune and intended to milk my success for as long as possible, and Lisa would need to get ready for more.Oops. She shot me a 'you'll pay for this' look. My heartbeat quickened as she turned on her heel and walked away.“Whoa, that was some glare,” I said to Paul, who was smiling and opening his bottle of water."What ex

    CamillaHours turned into a day, and I was super uncomfortable and uneasy in George's house. Fortunately, he didn't ask for a blowjob or sex, and I was glad he wasn't entirely stupid. He worked from home and sat behind his desk all day, and his mom had gone to a convention, which suited me fine. After spending the day by myself, George came downstairs in the evening when I was watching TV. I became uncomfortable and sat up, eyeing him warily.“Baby, let's go shopping. I want to spoil you with the finer things in life. He walked over, put his arm around my shoulders, and hugged me tight. His lips were on mine, and before I could get out an objection, his fingers were stroking my hair.He kept kissing my neck, and I fought the urge to gag. He stopped and looked at me expectantly.“You should be resting. Don't worry about me,” I said, looking down at my hands fidgeting on my lap. “And I think I should go home now. I'm not comfortable staying here anymore."“I insist,” he said and leane

    "She's with her boyfriend, the doctor."Vespa's tongue went limp, and when I gave her a summarized version of all that has been going on with Camilla and George, her eyes doubled in size."He sounds very manipulative. I don't think Camilla should be with him if she doesn't want to. The fact that she rejected his proposal is enough warning.""Grandma said if she leaves him, he'll kill himself. Camilla must be feeling guilty and feels that it's her obligation to take care of him.""That can never be me," Vespa said under her breath, and I nudged her playfully.When Kai called for a meeting, I knew he was about to enact some stupid rule that would only favor himself. I stared at him blandly and watched as Grandma Zora sat in her favorite chair."This had better be quick. I have a show to attend," Zeke said. "Fine," Kai said, rising. "As you all know, Vespa's coronation is near. She has decided to reject two people, and we know who they are." His voice was commanding and final and he gl

    ZiahThe silence in the house was deafening, it felt like a heavy emptiness that echoed through every room. My heart felt just as hollow, like something was missing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. It was like I was searching for something, but I didn't know what I was looking for, or maybe I just didn't want to admit it to myself.I was stuck in a funk, waiting for Vespa's return after five long days away with Kai. But instead of excitement, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Camilla.Camilla…Even the mere mention of her name turned me on. I couldn't shake her off, no matter how hard I tried. I let out a frustrated sigh and gazed out the window, watching the trees sway in the breeze. It was like my heart had a mind of its own, stubbornly fixated on someone who wasn't even meant to be mine. I wondered if Camilla had cast some sort of spell on me - how else could I explain this crazy, all-consuming attraction? It defied all logic, especially since I already had
