***Gael's POV***That instant, my blood ran cold to the point I couldn't even gold my spoon properly. Fuck! Not in front of Tracy. “Gael, what's wrong with you? You're trembling.”I slowly took my gaze back to Tracy, who had no idea what I had just gotten myself into. Instantly, beads of sweat formed on my head as well, making it even harder for me. “I'm okay,” I slowly dropped the spoon on the edge of my plate. With an angry Turstin outside, I'll be dead to spend even a minute on the table. “Tracy, I'll be going to the restroom, so enjoy your meal,” I said as I quickly stood up from the chair which I was sitting on. “Alright, but don't take too long.”“Sure, I wouldn't take that long.”I said the words with a smile on my face, even when I knew it might take much longer than expected. At first, I had wanted to go out to Turstin, but then I suddenly felt the need to ease myself. Unfortunately, this was all because of Turstin. My goodness! Did he have to look at me that way? Befor
***Gael's POV***“Tracy is still waiting for me out there, aaaaa.” I moaned as he placed soft kisses on my neckline and down my throat. “You should have come home. Gael. Your stubbornness is the reason we are here,” he began to take off the belt of my jean pants. Presently, I knew there was no number of words I'll say that would stop him from doing that which he wanted. “What if there's a camera watching us?”“They can watch and perhaps get themselves riled up as I fuck you.”“Goodness, since when did you become this bad?” I asked between light chuckles. “Do not forget this Gael, you made me this way. For a man like this who had never once had sex, you brought out the beast in me. For this reason, you alone can calm my desire. Do you understand?”“Alright, Mr. Beast, but can we not do it here? What if there are people who wish to use the restroom?”“That's not a problem. They can always use the next. I know this is not the only restroom here, so,” he suddenly stripped me off my pa
***Gael's POV***“Who's calling?” Turstin asked with a raised brow. “It's Tracy. I think she's still at the restaurant. I can't keep her there. I'm sure she would have come here if it wasn't a male restroom.”Turstin didn't say a word to me, but rather stared at me as though I were saying utter nonsense. “Please Turstin. The least I can do is show up and apologize for my delay. Then send her home safely.”“I heard you. Well, since it has come to this, I believe we should go see your friend together?”“Huh? Are you coming with me?”“Why not? It can't be that you have something to hide which you don't want me to find out about. Is that right?”“That's not true. I wouldn't hide anything from you. If seeing Tracy will satisfy your curiosity, then let's go.”I led the way, hoping he wouldn't join me, but I was wrong. Turstin joined me as I walked out of the restroom and headed to the restaurant to meet Tracy. I sighted Tracy, just as I appeared at the restaurant. She was probably done e
**Gael's POV***I never expected the question, especially from Turstin. Will it be wrong not to tell him about it? I blinked, not confident about what to say. “Why did you suddenly go silent?”Well, if there's anything I need to be transparent about, it is my life. “Turstin, before I uhm... met you. I have always been a guy who is afraid of the world and what I might face when they find out about me. For this reason, I had stayed away from so many people. This was all courtesy to my dad.”I muttered. Turstin suddenly stopped driving and focused his attention on me. “What did he do? I mean your dad. What did he do to you?”“H…he hates me. From the moment I was born, my dad disowned me and parked out of the house, leaving just me and my mom to fend for ourselves. You have no idea just how terrible that is.”“I know. What happened to your mom.”“She's well now. I do visit her once every year. I plan to visit her this Christmas. I'm sure she must have missed me.”I noticed Turstin was
**Turstin's POV***I wonder if this is the right time to tell Gael everything he needs to know about us. Hell no, I still needed to wait.Cole will be married next month. And according to the agreement we had, the moment he's married, we'll mark Gael, then he can reject him. That is when he'll find out the truth about us. Telling him the truth now might only scare him away. What if he freaks out and decides to stay away from us. Hell no! I'm not going to let that happen. There's no way in hell I'm letting that happen.“Turstin, you aren't saying anything. I wish to know how you knew about my presence.”“Why wouldn't I know, I saw your shadow when you were walking away.”“Huh? For real? Shit! Just when I thought I was careful. Turns out my shadow has betrayed me. “Yes, that's why you have to be careful from now on, next time you intend to eavesdrop on our conversation.”“Yes. Huh? Why are you giving me hints on how to eavesdrop on you?”“Because there's no way I would have been able
***Gael's POV***Oh God, it can't be what I'm thinking. Turstin steadied his gaze, when he saw that Stacey was staring at him. Slowly, I noticed he creased his brow rather lightly and instantly began walking towards us. Shit! Why did he put on my shorts? They looked more like tight briefs on him and the waistline, he didn't bother to button up since it was too small for him to do so. And fortunately, he was putting on a brief underneath, else I can't even begin the state of mind I'll be in. “Stacey, what are you doing out here? Where's Cole?” Turstin asked, looking around. Yea, I'm also curious to know where the demon was while his girlfriend was roaming around to have almost seen something unholy. “H…he went for a jog,” she stammered quite a bit. Lord knows I'll do the same and even worse if I were to be in her state. But was it necessary for him to come out here to meet us, knowing he wasn't in a proper state. Did he not know the word shame at all?I kept tormenting myself with q
***Gael's POV***I felt so satisfied that the only thing I wanted to do at that moment was to stare at the sky. I was completely in a daze, staring at the full moon. This was my first time staring at the full moon at night and I must say that the moon was indeed beautiful. I smiled at the cool breeze in the environment. From what I noticed, I could tell that it was going to rain soon, but that's no problem. I love when it rains at night, it makes me sleep more soundly. But currently, the only thing that interested me was the moon. I was so lost staring at the moon that I didn't realize that I've got company. Not until I heard the clearing of a throat. I instantly jolted in fright and quickly looked behind me. To my greatest horror, it was no one else but Cole What the dick is he doing out here? It can't be that he's been watching my every move. I looked behind him, hoping to see Turstin or even Stacey around. “Stop looking, there's no one here. It's just you and me.”This made my
***Cole's POV***I hate him to my bones. But I found myself lost in his eyes and wanting to kiss him senseless for what he made me feel. I've been trying to hold it, ever since the argument began, but that seemed not to work. I know this was a disaster, but I needed to release myself. I deepened the kiss as I swam to the darker part of the pool where no one would notice us. He resisted at first, but when I bit his bottom lips to the point of bleeding, he suddenly stopped struggling and gave himself to me. I kissed him like a maniac. It felt like I've never kissed in my life before. While I kissed him, I felt my whole body set on fire. Not only that, I could feel my hardness becoming uncomfortable for me. Just then, Gael moaned into my mouth, and that was how I lost it. It felt like this was all the sexual push I wanted. I left his lips and attacked his ears, his neck. I sucked and kissed on every part my lips made contact with. The more I kissed him, the more I was sexually arouse
***Gael's POV***“You must be shocked to see me here, don't you?”“Well, I would like to believe that everything doesn't revolve around me, and for that, I will not ask questions that might not have anything to do with me.”“How so? Why don't you try asking so you can decide whether it's because of you or not,” she replied with a grin? This doesn't feel comfortable. There's this thing about Victoria I don't strike comforting, even though I do not know what that is. “So, why are you here?”“It's simple. It's because of you. How does that sound?” She answered with a smile. “You see, I find that challenging to believe, and I mean the fact that you're here because of me.”Victoria chuckled when I said this. “You don't perceive when to tell a joke, do you?”“Well, I'm sorry, but there's ever a little time for jokes in my life,” I replied, not impressed in the slightest. “Why don't I believe you? I mean, if there's nothing special about you, I don't see why the Barclays are all engross
**Cole's POV***When I heard Gael pleading with my brother's about going to a friend's party, at first, I didn't like the idea. I thought it was better that he didn't attend. But when they all refused him and seeing how sad he became, I felt troubled. I mean, why should I be troubled when they are only trying to look out for his safety. At that moment, an idea struck. If there's anyone Gael isn't interested in, it was no one else but me. I certainly do not want to do this if I truly wanted Gael to pay me any mind.When I finally agreed to him going to the party, I noticed there was a spark in his eyes. He must have truly wanted to go to his friend's party. “Alright. I should get dressed to leave,” just as he was about to leave, I quickly grabbed him by the hand and pulled him back.“Are you just going to leave?”“Huh?”“I thought you were going to, you know, appreciate me for letting you go to the party.”“Oh…" He muttered and stared at me for a few minutes, slowly he leaned in and
**Gael's POV***With Tracy being here with us, it seemed as though the table was complete. To be honest, Tracy is such a nice person to talk to and one reason I like her naturally. “Tracy, I heard Gael came over to your place. You know, I was just telling Gael about how stunned I was to know that he actually came.”“You're right. You had no idea just how happy I was that day. I never expected that he'll come, but he came anyway, and I'm still thankful that he came.”“This is good! Let's drink to it, guys,” Greg said, proposing a toast. We all drank to our hearts content and with a smile on our faces. I was glad that I was able to reconcile with my friends. This was something, I never thought, was possible. “Now that we are on the topic, I would like to extend my invitation for my birthday, which is coming up this weekend. I would be glad if you two could attend.”“Wow! Happy birthday in advance, Tracy,” Greg said. “Thank you…"“So you'll be a year older by the weekend, congratulati
**Gael's POV***“Gael, I'm so glad you finally decided to meet me,” Greg said in excitement. “Oh, please. I feel ashamed for not being the kind of friend you actually need in your life.”“Huh? What makes you say that?”“A lot of things. I mean, you're my friend and I don't check up on you as much as you check up on me.”“Don't be like that. I understand you man. You didn't check up on me because you were running from the big wolves.”When Greg said this, I froze. This was the reason I decided to see him. He still doesn't know that I've reconciled with them and that I'm living in the mansion once again. “Uhm, Greg?”“Yes.”“I have something to say to you. But first, I want you to promise me that you wouldn't freak out.”“Freak out? Wait, did you kill someone?” Greg asked wide-eyed. “The hell! No, I'll never do such a thing.”“Well, that's literally the only thing that can make me freak out as it is.”“Oh,” I muttered. Hearing him say this, I'm kind of confused if I should tell him a
**Victoria's POV**As soon as I was informed that I had a visitor, I quickly rushed to the visitors room. To my greatest surprise, it was no one else but Tracy. She seemed to be pacing around but stopped the moment she laid eyes on me. “Miss Victoria, for barging into you when you're busy,” she said, walking over to meet me.“No, of course not. That's not the reason. I'm actually here because I wanted to see you. Tell me, what's going on? You seem to be in a good mood.”“You're right, I'm in a good mood,” she said, smiling from ear to ear. I creased my brow, wondering what could have happened. “So, are you here to share the good news with me?” I asked, taking a seat. She took a deep breath and took the seat next to me. “You see, I want to thank you for the encouragement you gave. I actually took your advice when you said I can't give up on him just like that. I didn't give up and, you know I pulled some tricks. I'm still shocked that it worked for me.”“My goodness! Do you mean G
**Gael's POV*These brothers are so unpredictable, I swear. Who would have thought that Turstin will get us to do it in a garden. He's got no shame at all. He's totally shameless!“What are you thinking about? Do you think this is the wrong place as well?”“Well, it's all the shades of…I don't even know what to say.”“Let's be open to new things.”“Open to new things in the garden you mean?” Turstin nodded his head while staring at me. I could see a laugh in his eye and I couldn't help but wonder if he meant what he was saying. Just then, he began to walk closer to me, while I moved back. I don't know about doing it in a garden because that has never once crossed my mind. “Gael, don't be nervous. It's not like I'm asking you to die. I just want to spice things up,” he said in a deep voice, and he grabbed me by the waist.“Tell me, honestly, why do you want to do it out here?”“Okay, I'll say the truth. Now that I know my brothers have marked you, I also want to do the same. But I
**Turstin / Gael's POV***I was mad and this was because I came early just so I could spend time with Gael. Who would have thought that he would go out to be with a woman he knows full well has a crush on him. “Turstin, I know why you're like this, but let's be honest here. You know for a fact that I won't be able to do anything with her even if there's a possibility of what you're afraid of.”“Well, I don't care. The fact that I know she's in love with you disqualifies her from being your friend. Take Fred for an example, if you tell me you're with Fred, I have no reason to stop you even though I still wouldn't want to see you with anyone. But then, it's better than seeing you with someone I know likes you.”Even though I had said I wasn't going to disclose my feelings this way, I can't stop myself. “Turstin, I know I can't argue with you about this but all I'm asking is that you give me a little time with her. An hour will do.”“What are you talking about? So, you still have the t
**Gael's POV***Tracy and I chatted for almost an hour. From our discussions, I came to realize that she was actually a free soul. Maybe, just maybe, if I wasn't what I was then I'm sure that I would have considered her my girlfriend because she seems to have all what it takes. “So, let's talk about why you called me. Tracy, is there anyone bothering you perhaps?”“Huh?” She muttered, looking at me as if she didn't understand what I was saying. “I mean, when you called me earlier, remember you said you needed someone to talk to. Could there have been a reason why you were in that state.”“Gael, I'll be honest with you. I don't feel like talking about it now. You've made me so happy that I had forgotten what I was going through to be honest.”“If that's the case, then you don't need to tell me what happened then. My main purpose of coming here is to cheer you up. I do not wish to see you in a bad mood, if you understand what I mean.”“Oh thank you so much, Gael. You have no idea jus
**Gael's POV***The next day, I was supposed to meet with Turstin but he left the mansion to attend to an emergency in his company. Not only that, the others had all gone back to their businesses, leaving just me in the mansion. I wouldn't deny the fact that I felt useless. I wanted to do something worthwhile, but I'm not sure I'll ever have the opportunity to go back to my apartment any time soon. Well, it's not like they are depriving me of going to my apartment. I think it's just me and the fact that I missed them. Maybe I'm here in the mansion because I wanted to be with them for a little while. I sat on the patio, and drank a glass of fruit juice while staring at the clear sky. How I missed this place. It has always been my favorite spot to be. While I was basking in peaceful moment, I suddenly heard my phone vibrate in my pocket. I creased my brow, wondering who was calling me. Looking at the caller, I froze for a few seconds. Why was she suddenly calling me again? I thou
