Dimitri“Did the work police show up at your place and pull you away from your wife?" Carter asks waltzing in, not bothering to knock, like he owns the place.“Did you cut short your marriage just for work?" He questions again. If this was someone else, I would have him thrown out of the building but he is Carter Astor and he thinks he owns everywhere.“Where is the file on the Singapore project?" I mutter under my breath in an attempt to evade his question. I am not in the mood to speak with anyone but who is Carter without a little fight to mess with my sanity?“Trying to avoid the question right?" The no response is my response.“Are you already having issues with the wife?" And that brings up the thought I have been trying so hard —and failing— to push away. I can still remember the way she smelled, coconut and vanilla, perfect and feminine. The way her body trembled over my touch, the soft of her skin, her body structure — perfect unlike the others with plastic fillers —, the wa
“ I have no idea what she likes and I do not care." He gazes at me like he does not believe me and I decide to have my own fun too. “You could help me ask her best friend or something. That would give you an excuse to meet up with her again." I suggest.He opens his mouth like he wants to say something and he closes it back changing his mind. He repeat the action two more times. Good, I made him speechless.I smirk at him “What is going on with you and her? I noticed you have not been getting some action..." I throw his words back at him as the smirk turns into a full blown smile “...so tell me, are you saving yourself for her? You do realize that you are way past that since you lost your virginity to your mother's assistant." Now I'm laughing. I should do this often. I finally get why he does this to me. It is normal to get other people in this position, boring even, but to put your annoying best friend on the spot? Priceless.“There is nothing between us and I did not stop fucking w
VanessaI wake up to the ray of sunshine seeping through the window and I realize that I did not shut them the night before. I groan at nature disturbing my sleep, putting a stop to my time of escape. I open my eyes and look around everywhere noting that it is still the same place I have been waking up to. I scoff at the thought.Like anything would change because I went to sleep.I groan again and when I look around, I can see that we are way into the day. How long did I sleep? How come no one woke me up? And then reality dawns on me again.I lazily try to move my body to get up from the bed and the feel of soreness that shoots through my body from the middle of my legs serves as a wake-up call and a reminder of what happened last night.Everything starts to come back to me. The events of last night hitting me in flashes. Flashes that I would give anything to forget. A lot of times I have been told how amazing wedding nights are but mine was filled with degradation and humiliation. A
Dimitri“What were you going to tell her?" He stalks closer to me with his voice sounding lethal.I did not say anything and I definitely was not about to give our secret away so I have no idea why he would issue accusations.“I was not about to tell her anything."“It did not seem that way to me. It seemed like she was asking you to trust her and you were about to tell her. Tell me, do you want to breach our contract because a kid was part of it."“You actually got it all wrong. I was not about to trust her with anything. I just met her today and that is not how I work with people I am not familiar with." I decide to stand my ground. I will not let him walk all over me because of a misunderstanding on his part.“So who then did you tell?" His questions.“No—No one." I force the lie out of my mouth. I am the worst liar but I will make sure to protect my friends at all cost. I cannot let him know that they know and why is he asking.“I do not believe you." He states with a robotic tone
VanessaI spend the rest of the day in my room. I cannot bring myself to come out after what we did on the dining table. I have no idea what comes over me when he is around. It is like the sane part of me is brutally thrown aside, giving way to another part of me. A darker part of me. I hate that he is controlling but at the same time I love it and I don't know how to explain it. I hate and love how his presence seems to awaken everything in me.“Arrgghh! My life is so confusing!" I yell at the ceiling.But it was not confusing when he was holding you down and plunging roughly into you huh?“Shut the fuck up!" I say to no one in particular. Seriously I need to be checked. My brain is taunting me.Your brain is doing nothing to you. It's just you and your body. This one comes out mockingly and in Diana's voice.“Get out of my head Dee."What does one even pack for a honeymoon trip? I have no idea what to do. We never said anything about a honeymoon. He told me nothing about it but sinc
DimitriAs soon as I get to my room I pick up my phone to call Carter. It rings the first and the second time but the clown still does not pick up. I try again for the second time.“Pick up you bastard." I mumble into the phone to an imaginary Carter. Why would he not answer? What would he be doing that is so important that he would ignore my call?. He finally picks up after the third try.“ I know that I am handsome and all, and that you probably miss me but try to get a hold of yourself. You shouldn't be this clingy because we just saw each other a little while back. Especially not now that you have a wife. Wouldn't want anyone swinging a bat at me for stealing all her husband's attention " he drawls into the phone. I can hear feminine chuckles in the background and I do not need to be told what is going on. Can he seriously not take a longer break.“Can you please not make a joke every time we talk?" I tell him m with a grunt.“A joke. I understand you're sad that I want to stay aw
Vanessa It is raining by the time we leave the penthouse for the airport. The weather forecast says that there would be light showers tonight so it is good enough for us to travel but I am still not convinced that nothing will go wrong. I have never been on a plane before. Never had to travel and never could afford it. I have always wanted to travel out of my birth state but I have never for once considered the means to get there. The plane has always seemed to me to be a giant metal trap box that I have never been enthusiastic to be locked in. As we approach a traffic light, I lean into the seat and look out the window. The view is very pretty. The streets are littered with many people despite the weather. As we pass by, I see three girls, each holding a bag, playing in the rain. One is blonde and the other two are brunettes with one having bright colors littered on her hair. She has the biggest smile in the group as she opens her arms wide, as if to hug the rain. The other two a
VanessaI did not know I had fallen asleep until I am jolted awake by the announcement over the PA system telling us that we have arrived in Italy and would be landing soon. I hurry to fasten my seatbelt and look outside the window and the sight that greets me is extraordinary. I am yet to meet anyone or explore anything but up here, from the sky, it looks so beautiful. Like a city of lights. The lights are scattered around the city helping to light up the city. From up here, it looks like Christmas with the different light colors decorating the city. I have seen pictures online and read about how beautiful the place is but I have never had the opportunity to have my first hand experience in it.And the food. The Italians are known for their pasta, pizza ... Mmmhhhh. I have not had my chance to eat it but I already feel the taste and I'm even savoring it. I don't know if he knows how much I love the food culture of Italy but I am grateful to be here.Who am I kidding. There is no way
