PRETENCE

RAYNE'S POV

I watched him leave and I suddenly felt something break within me. I couldn't explain the reason. He had left in such a hurry and that too, like there was trouble. I could only wish that he returned safely.

This is me, three hours past evening, still staring out through the transparent glass walls. There still wasn't any sign of him. With each minute that struck by, I felt the knot in my stomach tightening. The bodyguards were still down there, all over the house, guarding it from a danger I didn't know of. I had overheard him asking one of the men in a suit to protect me at all costs, and I couldn't understand why.

Two hours more, the night had turned dark, and even though the city was fully lit up and looked as beautiful as it had the previous day, I wasn't feeling the ambiance of it. I turned to leave the glass wall and stroll into the room. I could probably retire to bed, and maybe, wait there for him. After all, we still had a movie to see together. Or, was t

Go slow, Eric, don't make it seem as though you're forcing her."It's fine, I'll go to the spa and get a massage," I told her. "Go to bed, it's late," I said, patted her head, and got up. I started for the door, but just when I was about to grab the handle, her voice came."Who'd do it?"I paused and turned to her. She had her eyes pinned to the bed as she asked. "Will a woman do the massage?" 'What?' I thought to myself, is that jealousy I hear in her voice? "Of course, women massage better than men do. Especially the masseuses here in Paris. They are really good and have a suitable touch to the body. I should be fine by morning if I get the massage done tonight." Saying all these just to make her jealous was childish, but I couldn't help it. It felt so good knowing that she felt protective of me toward other women. She continued tugging on her dress and I fo

    ALREADY A MESSRAYNE's POVI looked at the small swelling in his pants and I wondered why it was there."Come here!" He called, stretching an arm toward me. I hesitated for a moment before starting toward him in slow steps. I stopped when I was a few inches away from him, took his hand, and he suddenly pulled me so close into his arms, that my breath hitched as I fell face flat into his naked chest. With faces Inches away, lips close apart and bodies so close, and warm breath fanning the unclothed part of my neck, I felt my heart racing. Any slight movement and I might just be kissing him.I felt one of his strong arms wrap around my waist, then he lifted me off of him. "Sit!" He said, patting the spot on the bed next to him. I obeyed him, and sat down, looking down. My heart was racing nervously and my stomach was all butterflies, I didn't want him to see the shyness in my eyes.ERIC's POVHave you ever heard of the word Erect?" I asked and she slowly nodded. It surprised me that she

    YET ANOTHER CALLERIC'S POV"Are you okay?" She asked so innocently."I am, but I'm not sure I'll be for long if you continue to keep me hanging," I told her, my voice coming out husky. We had barely even started, and I was already a mess."But, you sounded like you were in pain," she argued.RAYNE's POVEric threw his head back on the couch like one who was in pain. I instantly stopped my hand from. Probably I wasn't doing it right. I heard him mutter something I couldn't quite grasp, the moment I did. "Are you okay?" I asked him."I'll be okay if you stop teasing me," He said and once again, started moving my hand against his little monster.ERIC's POVI guided her hand up and down my length, the warmness of her fingers, the feel of them, plus the loom in her face as she followed the rhythm of my movement, curiosity, and confusion like she had no idea what was happening. It all turned me on the more."Urghhh!!" I could feel the rippling surge from my inside, to touch her, but I foug

Before picking it up."Hello!"Eric glanced down at his phone, and seeing the caller ID showing no number, his perfectly sculpted face creased into a frown as he answered the call."Wow! Look who's calling me. I knew you'd miss me." Eric's voice Immediately turned teasing the moment he took the call. " It's barely even been up to a week since I left, yetyou've been calling me nonstop." Eric said with a smirk visible at the side of his lips. The voice on the other end was silent, and Eric pictured Bryce rolling his eyes and a grin spread across his face. Bryce ignored all of Eric's remarks and went straight to the point."Someone saw you out together with the woman, they took a photo, and it's currently number one on all search rank. What do you do?" Bryce asked.ERIC's POVListening to Bryce's report. Two things ran in my mind: Rayne and Rayne."Let it be, after all, it's true." I said

As If he wasn’t already successful enough. Everyone wanted Erickson Arnold, every one of the companies that had previously been in business with Meyer Groups was running off to him.

    KAMARFred got into his car and zoomed out of his father's house. He thought of all the harsh words the man had used on him earlier and his blood boiled with rage. He never met up to his father's expectations of him, matter how much he tried and the things he did. The man always found fault in them. He had stopped loving Rayne many months into their relationship when he realized that he didn't love her, she was the kind of woman he didn't want, a naive, shy, innocent good girl. That was a fucked up shit, a total bore to a relationship. His taste in women was the exact opposite of the woman Rayne was. He liked them curvy, party shutter, fun and sexy women who knew what a man wanted, and just how to give it. Someone sassy, someone he could vibe with. The reason why he had fallen in love with Sarah the instant he had seen her at Rayne's birthday party, she was just the girl he needed. That night, he had immediately decided he was going to break up with her, but the very next day, his

    Different WorldsRAYNE'S POVEric drew out a chair adjacent to the counter as we entered the kitchen. He opened the cupboards behind him and fetched a pot and a pack of rice. After washing the rice, he put it on the rice cooker and went ahead with cutting the vegetables needed for the sauce."Can I help?" I asked."Yes, you can." He said and I immediately got up from my seat."What do you want me to do?" "Just sit down and watch your perfect husband cook." He said and I felt my cheeks heat up. Why did he always use the word perfect when talking about himself? His brows knitted together in deep concentration as he diced the vegetables, and I stifled the urge to laugh. He proceeded into making the sauce. Soon, the aroma filled the air. Watching him cook reminded me of my family. The time when Daddy would propose to cook while Mom and I watched and laughed. I was so little then, but the memories still stayed fresh in my mind."Dinner is ready," Eric's voice pulled me out of my reverie.

Any other woman would have grabbed the opportunity, but here, she just ditched me.My phone suddenly rang on the countertop, glancing down at it, I saw it was one of my business partners calling. I was about to pick up when Rayne's voice cut in."Will you stay home with me tomorrow?" I stared at her and a grin spread across my face immediately. I knew I could never get ditche... Wait, did she just say home? Did she finally give in to being my wife? That means she is no longer scared of me and there'd be no more tears falling from these beautiful hazel eyes."Sure, I'll stay home with you tomorrow. But, you'll have to keep me entertained, so I don't get bored from staying at a place, okay? I asked and watched her nod, a smile threatening to break out from her face. She was happy, but I was the happiest. Getting out of my seat, I kissed her fo

"Sit." was my stern voice.I hadn't forgotten so quickly that Bianca was the reason Rayne left.Bianca handed me a piece of paper "That is the map showing the location I think Rayne would be." she said. "Not think, she's there." Sarah said I wasn't ready for their shenanigans today and not now I wasn't in my frame of mind. I looked at the information in my hands, it was a map leading to the boundary of the town.But what would Rayne be doing there, and why would Sarah want to help me find her. "You don't have to trust me but you can assign your men to go there in search of her." Sarah stated. "Let's go, I told you he doesn't believe us." Bianca said, trying to drag Sarah along.

I heard the secretary greeted me."I want to see your boss." I stated."I'm sorry ma'am but he has been off for a few days now." she replied politely.If Fred wasn't in the office and also not at home could it be that he has been with Rayne all through.I felt that sting of jealousy in me as I walked out of the company in annoyan
