This time there was no holding back. No, I didn’t feel selfish when I wrapped my hands around his neck to kiss him, I felt as if I was doing something right. And why should I feel guilty?I felt my broken heart heal as his warmth covered me. His hands were large and warm on my waist and he pushed me gently back until I was resting on my elbows, raising my upper body to deepen the kiss. His mouth left mine and he kissed my cheek, my ears, my neck and my chin. As he did so chills rose on my body and I couldn’t stifle the small sigh that escaped my mouth as he continued to kiss my neck. I laid on my back and his body covered mine, one of his legs delving between my legs.With my hands on both sides of his face, I kissed him back, his cheeks, his lips, his jaw…we both smelled like sweat after our exhaustion earlier that evening but just the aroma of him was clouding my senses. I raised my knee and lightly brush his groin surprised to find him hard. His excitement fueled mine and I realize
I was trembling with excitement when he slid his other hand beneath my bra to caress my other breast. Everything felt so sensitive and new. I never went this far with any guy before – well I wouldn’t exactly blame it on the fact that being beside Siobhan doesn’t always make me first choice, nervousness was also a contributing factor. The one time I almost had a guy touch me this way was during one summer camp Siobhan and I joined when we were still in junior class. I barely had any ounce of feminine curves on me then but the novelty of anything sex related was fascinating.My partner in crime and I never got far though because our camp master caught us before we could.Yet…here I am beneath the boy I thought I hated, the boy that was once out of reach for me, staring into his eyes while he touched me slowly, gently, and oh so sweetly.I laid back down to give him access. He rose slightly to push my bra up and pull it off my head casting it aside. When he returned he gazed at my body l
We stayed wrapped in each other’s warmth, neither of us wanting to leave the cocoon of our soothing arms. Andre had his face buried in the crook of my neck while his hand held me close to him and the other was buried in my hair. My arms were wrapped around his shoulders. My body still tingled from the impact of my orgasm – it was a first for me and so very good. I wasn’t tired, I was just pleasantly limp letting Andre’s arms bare my weight as I surrendered myself to him.After a while, he rubbed my back and lifted his head with that cockish grin I was beginning to love.“Are you good?”I bent my head to look at him. His hair was pleasantly tousled because I had run my fingers through the dark strands and pulled at them at climax.I nodded closing my eyes for a moment to just inhale the scent of him.“Sore?”I shook my head. I wasn’t sore or anything but I needed more from him. “I could go again,” I opened my eyes to give him my best seductive smile.He chuckled. “We have a party to at

She hugged herself against the chill in the air, her body looking frail and pale in the moonlight. She looked so frail and fragile and I almost pitied her but now I know what kind of heart lays beyond the deceptively frail exterior.The absurdity of her accusation shook me to the bone and I could only stare at her as if she was a stranger. And in truth she was. She wasn’t the little girl I grew up with anymore, and neither was she the young adolescent girl with whom I played in her parent's mansion. It felt like the years fell away and a stranger emerged out of the past I once knew.“You didn’t want me to date Andre, you tried to convince me to let him go, you told me he was a player, a bad boy…”“And if I recall those were the reasons you wanted to date him. Especially because you were excited to have a new dick in your life. I am not like you Siobhan. I wasn’t trying to deceive you into leaving Andre so I could date him. I was looking out for you because you are my best friend and t
Andre’s POVWait!Before you assume the worst of me and attack me, I have a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything that happened. I know you have been itching to know what I was hiding all this while and your guards were up against me when Siobhan asked the important question; “He loved you but he went for me. Why?”There is a perfect explanation for that. But first, let’s go to the beginning. Let’s go back to the events that happened days before I met Bianca at the beach…**“Mainland’s Attraction here. Let me show you what Mainland has to offer,” I said to the passersby at the airport. Mainland is known as the biggest tourist site not just for its beaches or warm weather but it’s also for the home to some of the most exotic people, music, dancers, and foods. And I am proud to say that Mainland is my home. It’s where my father made his fortune, building a business known for the best tour guides in all of the state. We offer services ranging from showing our customers the bes
Alex burst out in laughter. He held his side as he doubled over, laughing as if I just told the world’s greatest joke. Even his cronies, all of whom would laugh not because they thought what I said was funny but because Alex is a bully to his gang so they would do whatever he does to avoid being on his bad side. I wish we would not have this conversation in front of his gang. “Y-y…!” Alex laughed harder. I waited for him to finish laughing but as I looked away from him I caught Carol’s eyes. She was on Alex’s right side. One of the gang mates hand held her waist but she smiled at me. I smiled back. Once Alex was done laughing he straightened in his seat to wipe the tears from his eyes. “Baby brother,” he chuckled. “You want to manage the business? What do you know about management?” “I worked with Dad during the holidays, I think I know a lot more than you think, I can take over the business and build it up and it can flourish again.” “Flourish,” Alex laughed again. “That’s a
Now I did say it all started 2 days before I met Bianca. Well, I have just gone back in time to tell you everything that happened before that day so let’s go back to what happened 2 days before meeting Bianca.The company was located a little distance from the airport. It was built there because Dad is a strategist and he knows that it’s easier to get to tourists if you are next-door neighbor to the airport. We had flyers and billboards all over the place but all of that meant nothing with the business going under now. And somehow it was almost as if everyone knew there was nothing left of Mainland’s Attraction, one of the best tourist management businesses because every single person I approached to offer my services to ignored me.“Mainland’s Attraction, let me show you the beauties Mainland has to offer,” I said to passersby going toward the exit.They passed me and waved me off. I felt discouraged since not one person wanted my services. I went back home that day feeling depressed
When I woke up it was the morning of the next day. My room was bright and I couldn’t open my eyes because of that but when I tried to lift my hand to shield my eyes I discovered there was someone holding it. For a moment I panicked thinking I was back in Mainland, restrained. But when I opened my eyes it was Siobhan and she had tears in her eyes.“Siobhan?”She threw herself at me and hugged me tight. “You are alive! I was worried. I was so worried I was never going to see you again.”I hugged her right back because I had missed her so much. My heart ached at the thought at I could easily have died and never seen her again. But when I released her and saw the bandage on her wrist my heart lurched.“Oh my God Siobhan, what did you do?!” I asked sitting up.She cried and told me what happened and as I listened I found it increasingly hard to believe what she was saying. There’s no way I can be Edna and Anton’s daughter. And Siobhan had tried to kill herself because of that?I felt so so
Andre’s POVIt was a lot of hours since we got the call from Carol. Anton already had the money ready. The rest of the group had gone to freshen up but I was told to stay back at the hospital.“But, Mr. Hayes, Carol wants me. That’s the only condition she offered for releasing Bianca, the money doesn’t matter.”“I will not leave you to her mercies. You are the only link I have to your father and if I must do something right, I will take you under my wings and look after you like a son. But I want you to stay here and look after Siobhan, make sure she doesn’t try to hurt herself again, and talk to her when she wakes up.”I nodded my head but I was still worried.“What if Carol doesn’t…”“I have enough money to bribe her to leave you alone. I can only hope she accepts it and leaves you alone for good.”Tears filled my eyes as I doved into his arms for a hug. He hugged me just as tight.“It’s the least I do for what happened to your father. Now stay back and keep Siobhan safe.”“Yes, sir
“I’ve got a call,” he announced to everyone else. We all gathered together, forming a small circle. He waited until everyone was there before picking the call. The phone wasn’t on loudspeaker but I strained my ears to hear what Carol had to say. Of course, she demanded money and made the request I knew she was going to make. Give me Andre Rios.When Anton dropped the phone from his ear he sighed.“Well?” Cole asked impatiently.“She will let Bianca go for a price and in exchange for Andre.”Four pairs of eyes turned to me, three of them curious to know why Carol would make such a specific request.It was Cole who voiced the question. “Why does she want you?” he demanded. “What do you have to do with this?”I started to answer truthfully but Anton interrupted me. “He has nothing to do with it but we will give her the money she wants and negotiate for him,” he pointed at me.Cole wasn’t convinced with his answer but the look in Anton’s eyes was one that demanded respect for his decision
Bianca’s POV“You said this was Siobhan Hayes!” Dez argued.“I said this is the girl, don’t put words into my mouth, Dez. And try not to argue with me. What did you learn?”Carol had sent Dez out early to scout for information around town. She wanted to be sure the police weren’t on their tail. But Dez didn’t have such good news.“The news is, one of the students missing from Edwin and Co., the Head Girl, is Bianca Davis and she was last seen in the company of a gang woman in Mainland.” Dez, though short had the build of a boxer and from the scars on him, I could see he has been in his own fair share of vicious fights. If I tried to escape how many steps would I take before he overpowered me?I didn’t even want to think about escaping. I just prayed silently that some miracle would happen and I would be allowed to go home.Carol listened to Dez for a moment and then nodding her head, looked in my direction.“Turns out you are causing a whole lot more trouble than I expected.” She turn
The next morning after a sleepless night I heard a knock on my door. I sat upright in bed thinking it was Siobhan. I was ready to confess now but first I needed to call Carol.But when the door swung open it was not Siobhan that was standing there, it was Edna. Her eyes were puffed and red and she looked extremely vulnerable.“Can I come in?”“It’s your house ma’am, you can,” I responded humbly climbing out of the bed. She walked over and sat gingerly on the edge of the bed. I joined her not knowing what to say or do.“Do you think I am a monster?” she asked. Her hazel eyes stared into my soul. I know what color Bianca’s eyes are, they are hazel but they definitely didn’t look like this woman’s. Yet…the possibility was there. “You are Andre, right? My daughter’s classmate. Tell me, Andre, and be honest with me, do you think I am a monster?”“You did exchange a child for one of the craziest reasons I have ever heard, anyone would think what you did was insane. But you cared for Siobhan
“When we couldn’t have a child I resorted to drastic measures…”“Yes, you invited me to your mom, Mrs. Hayes, under the guise of a friendly invitation, drugged me, and assaulted me in the hopes of getting pregnant when you feared your husband was sterile. You almost destroyed my marriage!” Bianca’s dad yelled holding on to his wife protectively.Judging by Siobhan’s reaction to the news this was the first time she ever heard of it. Her mouth hung open and if Anton hadn’t been holding her she probably would have fainted.“I apologized for that,” Edna moaned softly, her voice croaked. “I know it doesn’t change what I did but I regretted my actions that day, I felt like a monster for almost destroying you, and believe me even now I regret that decision.”“Yet you made another terrible decision, Edna. When does it end? The lies, Edna, when do they end?”“They end now. I’ll tell you what happened.” She sniffed. “Years after we got over that unpleasant issue I found out why we couldn’t have
Bianca’s POVIt’s hard not knowing what your abductors want from you.Well, I wasn’t blindfolded so I could see everything going on and one thing I realized was there was no way out for me. There was nowhere to run to when we were on the road and when we bypassed security and got to Mainland, Carla pulled out a gun and made sure I kept my lips shut as we made our way to town to a house she said belonged to Andre’s dad. It was a nice house but as we walked past rooms and halls I could see that it was lacking financially.How many more lies, Andre?Thinking about him broke my heart because I didn’t know what to think. Just last night we confessed our love to each other and found comfort and pleasure in our bodies. What was he hiding even then? Why wouldn’t he tell me?Even though my heart fought hard against my doubt it felt like everything was a lie. He and Carla – if her name is Carla at all, had it all planned. The ease with which I was taken out of school shows careful planning. Als
“Who is he?” Was Anton Hayes’s first question as soon as we got into the house. Siobhan’s mom had grabbed her almost as soon as we came out of the car, hugging her and crying as she kissed Siobhan’s hair and face.I think that was about the same time Mrs. Hayes noticed me standing there with my small luggage. Her eyes were hazel unlike Siobhan’s and very curious as she took in my appearance.“He is my classmate,” Siobhan said. “He lives far away so I offered him a place to stay. He can stay here right Dad?”Anton was staring at me a little too closely and I felt uncomfortable but then he grunted and I guess that means yes. A housekeeper came to carry our bags and I suppose she was going to prepare a room for me too.“What happened?” Mrs. Hayes asked, going back to hysterical. “The school suddenly called and asked that all students should be taken out of school. It’s all over the news but no one is saying anything. What happened?”Siobhan shared a glance with me and as she had been doi
“Please don’t!” Carol cried, putting her hand up.to stop him. “I will go with him, Alex. I will go to Edwin and Co. with him and get Siobhan back.”Alex stopped moving. His eyes were glazed over and he continued to stare at my pathetic state on the floor with Carol cradling my head on her shoulder. He didn’t say anything. He didn’t look like he could utter a word as he stared in a trance. I coughed and blood sputtered out of my mouth. Carol cleaned it up her face etched with worry lines.“I d-don’t…” I managed to say.“You have to.” Her voice was firm, her tone strong. “Come let’s get you away from here,” she said as she helped me up. I took a few steps, grunting in pain as I did and came to stand in front of Alex. He didn’t move out of the way but Carol steered me away from him and helped me as I walked away from the room.I heard a thud and went I glanced back Alex was on his knees on the floor. I looked away but I didn’t hear his sobs as he cried and wondered how he could have beat
