I wanted to tell him that I was lying. I am ready for what is to happen between us, but I am just scared and terrified of his expectations. "I-I don't know." I was supposed to apologize to him, but I said things differently. "What is it that you don't know?" He asks me because the confusion is very evident in his eyes already. "What is bothering you, Ari?" I don't want to keep on ruining the moment that we have. I have always been doing that, and this time, I felt the need to tell him honestly what I really was fearing about this. "I don't know if I can meet your expectations. I am afraid that, unlike the woman that you are used to spending the night with, I won't be able to please you and give you the satisfaction that you might be expecting from me. I don't-" "Stop right there, future Mrs. Allister." And once again, I was staring at him wide-eyed at the words he just said. Future Mrs. Allister? How I love the sound of that. "You, listen to me, Ari. The woman that I am used to, I j
After that first wave of pleasure, he moved down to my belly, kissing every part of me as he traced my body with his fingers. Why is he so good at this? I can't help but ask myself. I closed my eyes, feeling each and every touch he made as he continued to call out my name. "Ariella, I am going crazy over you." A gasp escaped my mouth when I felt his mouth on my bare skin. I wasn't used to doing something like this, but it just feels so good. And all I could do was call out his name. "Elliot." "Open your eyes, baby." He commanded me, and I did as I was told. Our eyes locked gazes, and he smiled sweetly at me as he said, "Be ready for orgasm number two." Without even a warning, he licks and sucks at my core, making me tremble in pleasure. He tries to hold me in place as he rubs me while continuing to lick and suck. "Oh my goodness! Elliot!" I exclaimed. I can't seem to focus on anything other than the intense pleasure I'm experiencing. I never knew this could be this good. "Elliot, I'
I walked into my warehouse office, and Kyle went on to say, "It was absolutely splendid of the boss to receive us here in his mansion today." I spoke out as I made my way to my office chair, "Do not even start with me, Conner." I really wasn't planning to see these two, but as always, they have found a way to incite my rage by being here so early in the morning. "And why are you even here at this hour? I didn't even call for the both of you." "Of course you won't even call us. You'll want to keep yourself busy the whole day." Kyle disregarded my words as he went on to say, "You seem extremely worn out." He tries his best to keep a straight face as he says those words, but his eyes say otherwise as his stare falls on me. Briton further added, "Yeah, I've got the same observation as you, Kyle." Then turns to me, "Boss, you really look absolutely knackered, and in fact, it's as if you haven't really gone to sleep at all." He says, nodding his head in agreement to what Kyle just said.
What the hell is Ari doing in here, barging into my meeting with my men wearing only my shirt? I glance at Kyle, who is glaring at me with questioning eyes, probably asking me the exact same thing that I am asking myself at this exact same moment. What is Ariella doing here? "Baby, what are you doing here? Is everything alright with you? Aren't you tired? And why are you here wearing only that? Why don't you go back to the room and rest for a while?" I asked her as I proceeded to stand from my chair and walked over to her at the door. "I awoke and you were not there with me, so I got worried." She stated, "You didn't tell me that you would be working. I am so sorry that I had to barge in here like that. I didn't know that your men were here." I instantly wrapped my arms around her waist as I reached for her and gave her a peck on the lips. I wanted to do more than that, but we have viewers in the room. "It's alright. The guys and I were just talking about some stuff." I really don't
"Elliot, maybe we should stop." Fuck! She requested that I stop, but her tone suggested otherwise. And all the more reason for me to continue igniting those carnal desires in her. "Elliot." She moaned again in my ear. I understand exactly that I should not be doing this to her right now. Well, not really here, but I just can't seem to stop it when Ari calls me moaningly. I sat down on the couch and held Ariella in my lap as I proceeded to shower kisses on her. "Elliot, I really do not think that we should, especially here." said Ari. I, however, will also not accept a no from her at this time. I've been controlling myself for far too long for it than necessary, and I don't intend to do it anymore. And, besides, I promised her that I'd make the most of our time here, and I'm just keeping my word. "Hmm, you are so fucking sweet, sweetheart. I just can't seem to control myself." "Elliot, hmm." She moaned breathlessly again. How am I supposed to stop if her reactions are making me want
It took me more than an hour to successfully convince Ari that we needed to leave my office so that she could proceed to the bedroom and change into decent clothing, while on the other hand, I had to carry on my conversation with my men. Ari wouldn't start moving, even after I told her that I already gave instructions to Kyle and Brit to go and simply stay in the garden so they wouldn't see her. Since she allegedly claimed that she had been too loud earlier while we were doing the deed, she is too ashamed to allow anyone inside the house to see her. However, in all honesty, I am absolutely certain that she is not quite as loud as she firmly believes. The truth of the matter is that somehow the jerks were actually eagerly awaiting what else would happen between me and Ari. I can simply confirm that they decided to remain right outside the door in this instance. And they will use that to annoy the hell out of me. Well, I don't really even care how loud Ari gets, considering that this
I slowly and carefully opened the door while peeking out to survey the surroundings. Even when everything would seem to be in good enough condition, I nonetheless have to continue to stay on high alert against potential threats. The adversaries are definitely near the area, just waiting to strike at me. I took a deep breath, battling with myself if I really should or should not proceed with this plan. But then again, I can't just be here forever. I needed to do what I had set my mind to do. And that is to go out of this room, despite the threats. I took another deep sigh before fully deciding to take a step outside. I navigate my way to my destination on tiptoe while trying to make every attempt to create as little to no sound as possible. The key to my survival in this desperate effort will be trying to take little, steady steps. As I walked towards the staircase, I continued to look to my left and right, ensuring that no one was in sight to see me. I crouched down and listened for
I stared at him in shock and bewilderment. Did he ask his men to leave? But why? What is his reason for doing such a thing? "Why do they have to go? Why would you even order them to just go and leave?" I'm really turning crazy and insane with each passing second. Regardless of the fact that I never wanted to see any of Elliot's men, I now find myself questioning whether it had been the right move for him to just send them away. Is love supposed to do this to me? As taken aback as I am by myself, Elliot is also. His level of uncertainty seems to be preventing him from having any idea of what to say to me. He tried to talk and explain but thought otherwise and closed his mouth again. After pausing for a few seconds, I see him hesitating before actually asking me. "Are you telling me that you are okay with them being here? Do you want me to call them back?" Am I really, though? Would I really be comfortable having them here with us at the moment? Clearly, the answer to Elliot's questi
Finally, the story has come to an end. Apologies, as it took longer than I had expected because of a lot of circumstances and my busy schedule.

Two men could be seen discreetly bickering over something in the stillness of the night. And although what was happening was visible to the rest of the men on the ground with them, they all chose not to interfere at this moment. They know better than to meddle with something that is not their concern. No one can genuinely understand what the verbal hubbub that is occurring between the two is all about as well. But whatever it is, it begins to appear to be about something big and important for the two to face off on the grounds just like that. The two men exchanged dirty, mean looks as they awaited each other's next move. And it also seemed as if they were about to each draw their firearms and end this ordeal between them, but both of them subsequently changed their minds and thought better of their situation. It really shouldn't reach such an extent once more. They now behave more calmly and rationally with each other than they used to in the past as a result of the changes in their
The wedding ceremony is happening in a blur for both of them. They are just too focused on each other all the time, as they are both holding each other's hands. The couple is so overjoyed about everything that is happening that they were smiling all throughout. And why wouldn't they? They are getting married! "Now that you can, Elliot, you may now recite your vows." The priest directed him. Elliot wasn't accustomed to these situations, of course. He's never been kind to express how he really feels, especially about love topics, and most of all not in front of other people. Kyle and Brit are the only people who could possibly know everything about what his heart desires. Nevertheless, today, he is willing to voice his opinion openly about Ariella and take away all his inhibitions because he wants Ari to understand how important she is to him. Before actually beginning to say his vows, he even took a deep breath to compose himself. "Hey, you know how hard this is for me, Ari, sweetie.
As I stood beside Kyle, my heartbeat was thumping frantically in my chest. I am anxious and excited, and I can tell that every person in the hall is feeling the same way as I am. This is where it all ends now. This is the culmination of everything that we've worked so hard to achieve. Today is a very special day for me and Ari, and everyone present here today is going to celebrate this momentous occasion with us. And I've honestly been eagerly awaiting this moment as well for a very long time now. But, in addition to that, I am currently experiencing a wide range of emotions. And for the very first time in my life, I can feel my hands and legs trembling at the same time at just the thought of Ariella Gregory. A distinct kind of nervousness is what I am starting to experience because, even though I'm anxious as I stand here with my best man, my excitement for what today will bring outweighs my nervousness by a long shot. Today is my most anticipated day. I'm going to get married tod
"There may still be time for you to make up your mind and change the decisions that you made, so are you sure that this is exactly what you intended to be doing?" Markus is acting like an a-hole as usual at this moment. "Sure, everything else with the villains of your lives is done and over with, but are you absolutely able to say that you wanted to marry him, that douche? Just tell me, Ariella, and I am willing to save you from this misery that you are about to get yourself into." I scowled at him as I crossed my arms in front of my chest to just let him know that he was not in the least amusing me and that I was beginning to get upset and clearly annoyed with him. "Markus, are you done grating on my nerves? If you are, can you shut the hell up now?" "What the heck, pumpkin? Why are you being so rude and surly? I'm merely trying to provide some clarity to your muddled and disorganized thinking. And I just want to let you know there is still enough time to back out." "Shut the heck
"It’s alright, dear. It's actually a very sweet gesture from you. And it just shows how much you really love my daughter." "I really do love her." He said proudly. Ari is too pleased, and she can feel the butterflies in her stomach again just hearing Elliot's words of affection for her in front of her mother. "And I love him too, so much, mom." She said proudly as well, then turning her attention to her fiance she said. "And yeah, I'm actually making your breakfast, but I thought that something must have happened because you kept calling and shouting my name that I have to see you. Are you seriously missing me all that much?" He replied confidently, "I certainly do." Then he lowers his voice and whispers to Ari, "Let's go back up into our room and I'll show you how much I miss you and how much I love you." "I like that." Ari answered grinning. She then turned to face her mother asking her, "Mom, will you be an angel and take over in the kitchen? Elliot and I just need to discuss s
Elliot immediately woke up from his sleep when he dreamed about Ariella not being beside him. He tried to reach for her but was surprised to find out that she was really no longer lying next to him. "Ari!" He exclaimed in an instant. He's been so protective of her since the recent incident that the prospect of losing her again fills him with dread. He has lost her so many times in the past that he will not allow it to happen again. He jumped out of bed and briskly walked into the bathroom to look for her. "Baby?" He called out to her again but still got no response. He then tried looking for her in the walk-in closet, but still, she was nowhere to be seen. "Baby, where are you?" He says to himself. Instantly, he began to feel uneasy. How could she have gone anywhere without him? Did she abandon him? But why? What did he do to merit that from her? He tried reaching out to her all the time, but Ari is still finding it hard to get through the events of last time, and as he and Ethan d
It is extremely simple to fool this young man who thinks so highly of himself, and as Mattias nods his head in agreement with Lucio, the elderly man feels he has done an outstanding job. With that being said, he has to leave immediately before Mattias poses a lot of questions that he wouldn't be able to answer. After concluding his report, he said, "With all of that information revealed to you, I will put it to rest at that for the time being." He then grabbed the money and, having to put it in his bag, rose up from his seat and proceeded to go. "I need to leave right now because I have somewhere I need to be. Call me if your big boss has another assignment for me." He declared, turning to leave without waiting for Mattias to respond. "The Allisters—what's up with them then?" The moment Mattias posed that query, Lucio halted in his tracks. "What? What about the Allisters?" "Isn't it that you told me you have information concerning both Gregory and Allister?" Mattias inquired as he
Lucio was so excited about this meet-up that he greeted Mattias as soon as he came through the door, saying, "Mattias, it's been quite some time since I last heard from you. What surprises do you have in store for me now? Did the boss seem to like everything that I had to say about the Gregory and Allister families? I need details about what went through with your plans." The most recent incidents involving the Wilsons, Gregorys, and Allisters are still unknown to Lucio. He still doesn't know that Mattias and his men have been captured and are under direct orders from Elliot, nor does he know that Matthew is already dead. He made the decision to maintain a low profile after receiving numerous threats from an anonymous gang, and since he doesn't have anyone to back him up solidly, he decided to stay put and keep silent for a little while. And now he's overjoyed that Mattias has summoned him. He may not have information now, but Mattias won't know that, so it will be easy money for
