I said he left a fucking mark on my chest, one I thought would never heal—well I damn lied. Because do you know why? The reason is that, this was much worse. It was no longer a mark, rather this was a wound; deep and hollow in my soul, carved out beautifully by his words which would endlessly echo in my mind.“Because I had to protect another woman’s honor—not yours. I had to protect Jennifer’s honor,” He said dejectedly.I laughed softly, the sound—carried no sound at all, sounded more like a dark void in my ears.“What about my honor? What was so much more important in hers that you could leave mine to protect her?” I asked in anguish.“Everything. Everything about her is more important than you to me Leah, and you know that clearly. So don't try to play pity party making me guilty, because you should know by now that your words won’t move me. You would just look foolish in my eyes,” he hissed venomously, still not meeting in my gaze.“Why?” I whispered softly, not knowing what e
“Ahh…Ethan,” I moaned louder when his mouth latched on my nipples, hard enough to leave marks on them. His lips switched to my other boob, taking it in his mouth; he did the same thing.His hands trailed down my thighs, moving towards the middle, in the direction of my opening.He slid two fingers easily into my already dripping entrance as I whimpered in ecstasy.With his lips still wrapped around my boobs, he gently stroked me.His large hands stretched my small opening, his pace too slow and gentle from what I was used to but still pleasurable enough to make my head grow hazy with lust. My body wanted more desperately, my mind clouded and on the brink of an orgasm.He moved our position, turning me till my back hit the hard wall of the room. With his mouth still on my boobs, my hands came to wrap around his shoulders, steadying myself as I prepared to ride his fingers.One minute his hands were moving inside me; the next, they were gone, leaving me cold and dry.I let out a small,
“He…” My mouth snapped shut, when I realised what I was about to do.I definitely could not tell Xavier anything about my contract with Ethan. He demanded secrecy in our terms, and Xavier—he did not have enough backing to fight a man like Ethan.Yes, Xavier has connections— I agree—but as for Ethan, he basically ran the entire city. He would destroy everything about Xavier if he had a glimpse of the fact that Xavier was going against him. My body shivered in cold when I thought about all the things Ethan could possibly do to Xavier, and then me.“Just forget it, Xavier,” I whispered softly, my heart clenched in pain when I saw a flicker of hurt and then frustration pass his eyes.“Leah, you can’t possibly be serious,” Xavier growled in anger. Stepping closer to me, his fingers moved, wrapping around my shoulders gently.“Leah, please tell me what he has on you, and why you are doing this. I promise I will do everything in my power to help you. I can help you Leah, believe me. I know
“Xavier,” I groaned, leaning my body against his. My head cleared enough to feel the familiar press of his body.“Mr Kingsley. What do you have to say about your fiancée's recent tape that has gone viral? It is clear the man in the video is not you,” a reporter asked, trying to shove his way through the other bodies of reporters who had swamped around us.Xavier shielded me with his body—blocking them from my view as he tried to lead me out of the hall.“Move away,” he sneered at one of them, who immediately jumped at the sound of his harsh voice, while I clung to his body in fear. “Throw them out, each and every one of you get out. The party is over,” Ethan’s voice roared in the background.I watched as people hurried towards the venue door leaving, while the press were dragged out by men dressed in black.“You want to play savior now, after you left her to be eaten by a crowd of vipers,” Xavier hissed through clenched teeth, as he stared at Ethan in anger.“And who do you think you
“Is that not the girl from earlier?” a voice came.I could feel their judgemental stares burning through my skin as they whispered my name.“Some children are really shameless these days,” another sneered, her tone laced heavily with disgust.“And she even had the audacity to try and ruin an angel like Jennifer’s reputation earlier, and this is how she shamelessly rides men.”“Children these days lack shame, and the basic moral called dignity.”Their voices grew louder, as the air around me felt suffocated and I drew in deep breaths trying to steady my breath.It was all too much, and the video kept playing over and over again. My bare skin was opened, defamed, exposed and shown to the world. “Wait, please stop. Why are you trying to defame her like that? She is already engaged, so it's normal for this kind of thing to happen between couples,” Jennifer’s grating voice spoke loudly, silencing their voices.“What do you mean she is engaged?” And why are you still trying to defend her?”
Jennifer looked at me with wide eyes, probably unable to believe that I would say the truth.“Jennifer, how can you do something like that?” Ethan demanded, his tone laced more with shock than rage.“Why do you keep doing this Leah? All the time you keep doing this? I tried to make peace with you yet you treat me like an enemy, why Leah,” She whispered feebly.She looked up to stare at Ethan, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.“I felt thirsty and I requested Leah to get me a drink. But believe me, I never tripped her. I can never do something like that.”Her hands clutched tighter at Ethan’s clothes, as she pleaded. “Ethan, you have known me for all these years. You’ve seen my true nature. Do you really think I would do something like that? And besides, why would I ever do something like that when I got harmed in the end?” She sighed, shaking her head, before turning towards me. Staring me dead in the eye. “Leah, why do you hate me so much? You always use every opportunity to fr
