She's not my lover!

Sarah's POV

My eyes widened as I felt his lips on mine once again; this time it was more intense than the first one. I could feel his rough breath, and it kind of felt great; it was a strange but sweet sensation. He shouldn’t stop.

His hands traveled down my chest, giving my boob a slight squeeze i moaned out In estesy before I realized what I had just done. I closed my eyes in anticipation, waiting for his next move, when suddenly he broke the kiss.

I opened my eyes, facepalming myself in embarrassment. Why the hell was he tormenting me?

“Let’s not rush things, baby; I want us to take things slow.” What? I haven’t said yes, and he is already calling me baby?

“Baby?” I asked to be sure I heard him right.

“Yes, don’t you like the name?”

“Not that I don’t like it, but I haven’t accepted your proposal,” I told him, earning a silly chuckle from him.

“You haven’t accepted, but you enjoyed my kiss, right?” he teased.

“I didn’t; I didn’t have an option,” I denied.

“As long as you allowed me to kiss you, you have accepted my proposal.” I didn’t want to argue with him, so I just nodded. I needed to play along to be able to escape this place.

NIGHT

I touched my lips again, smiling for the umpteenth time. I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the kiss. He left a few minutes ago, though he didn’t ask me to leave. I just left immediately after he left.

As I took a turn towards the corridor that led to my room, I came in contact with the viper lady. Since I had nothing to say to her, I just ignored her.

“Someone now feels so special; it’s not something new. I have felt that way before. Don’t get your hopes high; he will soon discard you,” she blurted. I still kept quiet; I tried walking past her, but she blocked my path.

“Don’t act like you didn’t hear what I said!” she half-yelled.

“What do you want me to say?” I rolled my eyes, and as expected, it angered her.

“Don’t talk to me that way, bitch! Don’t let this shitty opportunity get in your head; you are nothing but a sex toy!” I chuckled at her remark. I know she’s expecting me to get mad and then fight her so she could beat me up, but this time around, I’m not giving her the chance to.

“At least I didn’t sleep with a guard; being a sex toy to the boss is way better than sleeping with a common guard.” She raised her hands like she was going to punch me but then lowered them.

“How dare you! You fool!” she cursed, clenching her fists in anger.

“What? You no longer want to hit me? Why did you withdraw your hands? Come on, hit me! Go ahead and punch me the way you did the other day.”

“You will pay for this! I will make sure of that!” she threatened.

“And you think I will stop you? Hell no! If it would make you feel better, then it will be my greatest pleasure! I know how it feels to chase a man who doesn’t know you exist; instead, he is desperately chasing another. I know how you feel, baby; it's not easy.” She didn’t even let me finish my statement before she dashed away in anger, just exactly how I wanted her to feel.

I smiled, resuming my long walk to my room.

“Dear, how did it go?” The nanny ran towards me immediately I opened the door; she checked my dress, making me turn three hundred sixty degrees so she could take a proper look at me. After she left me to my fate, she is now acting like she cares.

“Nothing happened; I’m fine,” I replied briefly. “Between the two of you?” she asked again to be sure, and I nodded. I wasn’t lying when I said nothing.

“He didn’t touch you? You really mean nothing happened? Did anything happen?”

“Come on, dear, tell me.”

“Fine, I will tell you the truth. You are blushing so hard, yet you still tell me nothing happened? Oh, come on, girl. I’m not a kid.” “Only kissed; nothing else.” Her eyes widened the moment I mentioned the kiss.

“What? He kissed you? Tell me, did you enjoy the kiss? Why did you come back? You should have spent the night with him. Tell me, did he…” I ran into the bathroom, banging the door before she could complete her statement. How the hell does that old lady expect me to answer all that?

“Take a shower quickly; you will be having dinner with the boss and the pack members,” I heard her say.

I took a quick shower and dressed in a simple nightwear, then followed the nanny. I kind of had a mixed feeling about following her to the dining, but I never objected; I just followed her like a lost sheep.

We got to the dining where all of them were gathered, about fifty of them. I looked around, hoping to see him, but he was nowhere to be found. Funny how I don’t even know his name.

All eyes fell on me immediately they noticed my presence; if not for the fact that I was standing, I would have easily missed my steps. I turned back to look at the nanny, possibly to ask her some question, but I couldn’t find her; she left me to my fate again, just like she did earlier. Now I have to face the crowd alone.

As if reading my mind, he showed up almost immediately. I was expecting him to talk to me or smile at me, but he walked past me like nobody was standing there.

I remained standing even after the mobsters greeted and resumed their seats. I was waiting for him to at least tell me where to sit since all the seats had been occupied.

“Brother, won’t you at least find a seat for your lover? She’s been standing for some time now,” one of the members, who I suspected to be his brother, blurted. I didn’t fancy him calling me his lover, but at least he was speaking in my favor; a faint smile appeared on my lips.

“Point of correction, she is my sex toy, not my lover!” he replied angrily. The smile on my face disappeared immediately.
