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
Ashanti Ken was neck-deep in work and rushed into my office with a pleading look. “It’s one-thirty, Ash, and I have to deliver a proposal to one of our foreign investors. Would you kindly assist me in getting Elen home from school?" He sounded stressed and rubbed his eyes tiredly, and I pretended to think about it while a smile ruffled my lips. "I'm game as long as I don't have to come back to the office." Ken narrowed his gaze on me. “Since when have you turned into a crook? Isn't this boy your lover's son? you should gladly help out.” “Do we have a deal or not?” Laughter rippled from my abdomen, and Ken let out a big obnoxious guffaw.”Fine, I can manage without you. The bodyguard is downstairs, so get your ass off that chair.” I bit my tongue to keep from telling him that I did not need a bodyguard. Ken, after all, was unaware of my true identity and my ability to defeat ten human men. That secret was going to die with me. The bodyguard, Marco, a bald man with a stoic face
Ashanti We stayed downstairs in the living room. Carmen was lounging back on the couch, clearly at ease, and laughing heartily. "Oh my, I am so excited to see him. I guess Ken is providing me with the answer to my prayer of never having to deal with douchebags throughout my adult life." Even a blind person could tell that Ken was not into her, so I did not want to be the one to take away her happiness. And even if he was, perhaps he was getting to know her. "You know, sometimes it's better to let things unfold naturally," I said as casually as I could manage. I didn't want to dim the positive shimmer in the shadow of her eyes. "What do you mean?" she chuckled. "I just wanna spend time with him. Maybe he's just running late. I mean, I'm going to have to get used to being a multimillionaire's girlfriend. The money must be made." I sat upright opposite her, giving her a small nod. "Right, but you don't want to seem too eager. Let him appreciate the chase." "What the heck does that
