Normally, Chad would have woken up with a frown on his face as rays of sunlight caressed his face but this morning, he was anything but upset. Infact, he was elated and try as hard as he had to deny it, the feeling was proudly sponsored by a certain gallery woman.Wipe that smug look off your face, Chadwick, he chastened himself as he dragged his body out of his narrow bed. The bedding had started to rip apart and the foam itself felt like rock. It was due for a change but Chad felt he couldn't afford to change it.It was ironic that the son of a multi billionaire would not be able to get a new bed set but Chad wasn't about to go back to his family or their wealth. Leaving had been the best decision he had ever made and now, almost 10 years later, he still had no regrets.Pushing thoughts of his rumpled bed space aside, Chad dragged himself into his cubicle sized bathroom and reached for his brush. His eyes met his reflection on the small mirror he had hung above the sink and he almos
The last time Calista had felt this much unease about dressing up was the first date she had gone on with her fiance. Not even Emily had been able to get her to relax. Now, two years later, she found herself panicking again and Emily was nowhere to be found. Ever since the accident, Calista had gotten used to putting on whatever her hand could reach—in her wardrobe—but this wasn't a regular day. The exhibition was due to start in two hours and even though she had spent her entire morning looking for the right dress—it had been unsuccessful. Groaning loudly, she pushed aside the black strapless dress she had thought of wearing but suddenly decided against. The dress joined the pile of dresses she had changed her mind about and Calista felt her patience wearing thin. How could she not find a decent dress to wear?!Just when she was about to call Chad to cancel, the sound of her phone ringing claimed her attention. Letting out an exasperated sigh, Calista searched for the phone on the
The only thought on Chad's mind as he walked out on Calista, was to get some fresh air. He had no idea why he was upset but he knew he was brimming over the top with anger. Even though he was clueless as to why her reasons for coming to the exhibition had triggered him, Chad felt his anger was somewhat justified.“What was I expecting from such a woman?” he asked out loud, even though he could barely hear himself over the opera music that was blasting out of the hall. “She told me from the start that she was interested in looking for Hell's Demon. Isn't that what I had used as bait to get her to attend the exhibition?”Talking to himself wasn't something Chad did often, infact, he was solidly against it. But standing at the balcony, leaning over the railing, he found himself engaging in a conversation with himself—out loud for that matter. Calista Axford had rattled him in a way no woman had for a long time.“I mean, she had voiced out her concerns regarding me, right?” he went on, “W
Cameron's face had been filled with surprise when his phone rang a few minutes past eight and Calista's name was displayed on the screen. The only thought that ran through his mind as he picked up the call was, Did something bad happen to her again?The exhibition Calista had reluctantly mentioned to Cameron was fixed for 4pm, which meant that she had most likely already gone for it. And knowing how present Calista liked to be at events, Cameron felt uneasy that she was calling him. It was very unlike her. As soon as he had picked up the phone, Calista's voice had flowed out of the receiver in a very contained manner, “Come get me, Cam. I don't want to be here anymore, I want to go home.” The address of the venue had come next and Cameron found himself driving to the destination without hesitance.Never in his life had he seen such a gathering—of the strangest set of people alive—before. But the crowd wasn't what had kept him spellbound to the place, it was the art that swept him off
Chapter 31Acting impulsively was not something that could be linked to someone like Chad but since Calista came into his life, he found himself doing things he never would have even thought about. Kissing her, was definitely top of that new list.But it wasn't the kiss that had rattled Chad, it was the fact that she had allowed him do it—again. Just like the first time, Chad realized it was almost impossible to stop himself from getting a taste of her very sumptuous lips. He could barely hold himself for as long as he had done.Looking around for her that gotten him so agitated that relief had swarmed his body when he finally laid eyes on her. Never in his life had he seen someone so illuminated by the moon, looking as gorgeous as Calista Axford had looked. The best part was how oblivious she was to the spell she had cast on him. The spell had drawn him to her and before Chad could chide himself, he had kissed her. Immediately their lips touched, Chad felt her stiffen for a second b
With the big show scheduled for the next day, Liza had not expected to be called to the club that night but just as she tucked Annie into bed, her phone rang with an unusual request from the manager of the club.Making sure to lock every door and window, Liza shrugged on her jacket and rushed out of the apartment. The manager had sounded very desperate and as much as Liza had wanted to turn down his request, she couldn't find the heart to do it.She couldn't easily forget how he had given her a job at his club, irrespective of her lack of experience. According to him, hiring Liza had not been part of his plans but when she had waltzed into his space with a clear need for money, he had not thought twice about fixing her somewhere.I have to do this, was the thought on Liza's mind as she stood at the bus stop a few blocks away from her apartment, looking to get a bus or even a taxi—if possible. She glanced quickly at her watch and almost changed her mind when she saw it was five minutes
The plan had been quite simple—get a drink, watch a bit of the performance and go home. But after two drinks, Cameron had decided to forfeit his initial plan and just call it a night. And honestly, things would have gone that way if Liza had not walked up that stage looking like a goddess. Just the sight of her had sent signals down to his groin and the dress had not helped at all. Even though she had her entire time on the stage singing, Cameron had not been able to make out a single word she had sang. His eyes had been glued to other parts of her that didn't involve her mouth.It had taken everything in him to not rush up the stage and strip her off the dress she was wearing. But before he could get him thoughts in check, the performance had ended and Liza had waltzed towards the backstage of the club. Impulsively, he had rushed to the back but had met hindrances.“You can't be here, sir." The bouncer announced, placing a firm hand in front of Cameron and blocking his path. There w
Maybe, just maybe, there was a part of Liza that wanted to push Cameron off and get the hell out of his car. But that part had long been silenced when he drove her to orgasm with his tongue and after she came apart in the back seat of his Cadillac, Liza had entirely forgotten that part ever existed.She spoke the words, “Fuck me” before she understood the command she had given out and it took only a split second for Cameron to hesitate before plunging his hard length deep into her. It didn't matter if the whole club heard her scream, Liza couldn't control herself and she didn't want to.Throwing her head backwards, she dug her nails into his back as Cameron filled her to the brim with all of him. Liza had no idea how long it had been since she felt this whole but if she had experienced this once, the whole encounter brought an entirely new feeling along with it.“Dont stop, please don't stop.” Liza moaned wildly into his ears, wrapping her legs around his waist as he kept thrusting.
