Chapter 04

He rushed out and dragged Rhoda by one hand and her bag by another and straight into his room. He didn't mind her protest to break free but told her to shut up instead.

"Do not drag me, asshole. I'm not a cow."

Who cared if he dragged her like a cow? That was not the important thing at that moment.

Thank God he had changed into a casual outfit and a t-shirt his girlfriend gave to him on his birthday which had become his favorite one since then. That was the previous year. And the girl who gave it to him was downstairs and must not come up here to see what was going on.

He might be a billionaire, but he's not a cold and nasty one. Well, not to his girlfriend. He loved with passion and wanted to be loved too. He was one of the few billionaires who believed in the existence of true love.

"Stay here," he told his bride and went downstairs to meet with the angry face of his girlfriend. "Hey, babe. What's wrong?"

"What do you mean what's wrong?"

His mind started wondering if she had found out about the wedding he didn't tell her about. He started wishing that was not the case. She had been out of town for a few days for her business. "Baby, I can explain. It's not what you think."

"Then, it's what? I have been out of town for a few days and I can count the number of times you called me. And today? I called you tirelessly and you were ignoring my calls. What's wrong?"

He was relieved she wasn't angry because of the marriage. That meant she had not found out and he wished it stayed that way

He walked closer to her and held her shoulders. "I am so sorry, baby. And I called you three times a day except today, babe. I have been busy all day at work," he lied and held her hands.

"On a Saturday?"

"What? Oh! Yes, Karen. I had some things to take care of at the company. There's this new software I just developed and…"

"I don't care, Jeffrey. Just let me know if you're tired of me," Karen said.

Jeff shook his head. "Come on, baby. Don't talk like that." He held her face and kissed her on the lips. "I am very sorry. You know I'm not always like that."

Karen pouted her lips and smiled. "I'm still mad at you."

He tucked her hair back behind her ear. "Will five million do?"

She shook her head before taking his hand and leading him to one of his sofas and straddled him. "Ten million."

"Alright. Hold on. I'll just get my phone from my room," he said and tried to stand up.

"I'll go with…"

"No, no, no. Wait here. I'll be right back, okay?" He said and pecked her lips. When she nodded her approval, he dashed up the stairs and wanted to knock, but Karen could hear that and that would be suspicious. So, he opened the door and walked in. "Holy fuck!"

Rhoda was naked. She had no clothes on. Not even one.

"Oh, my gosh! Fuck off!" Rhoda screamed, but Jeff rushed to her and covered her mouth with a hand while the other rested on her waist.

He was tempted, really tempted to let his hand slide lower, but refrained from doing so even though he was getting aroused with the way her breast was touching him. "Don't shout, please. And I am afraid I can't fuck off this time, okay? It's not like there's something special about your body," he said and watched her eyes widen.

He walked to the bed to take his phone and started walking out.

"There's nothing special and yet it gives you...that," Rhoda said pointing a finger at his trouser.

Fuck! It was slightly risen. He clouded his embarrassed expression with a mocking one. He would never let her know she got him aroused. Not ever. "My girlfriend is downstairs. That explains it all or do you want me to elaborate on how she had been riding me with the trousers on?"

Her face flushed. She didn't expect his comeback. "Fuck you!"

He smiled. "Cover that body that couldn't turn a guy on in all of its glory." With that, he walked out, but not without seeing the attempt of Rhoda trying to find something to hit him with.

He got downstairs and took his seat beside Karen who immediately got on top of him and straddled him again. He was glad she didn't hear anything.

"What took you so long?"

"I'm sorry. I had to receive an urgent call. How much did you ask for?"

Karen kissed his neck and caressed the skin under his t-shirt. "Ten million."

"Okay," he said and made the transfer to her. And that was the reason Karen loved him. He would never question the amount she asked for and she knew he wasn't like that to other people. Talk about someone that's prudent. "Done," he said.

Karen smiled and kissed his lips while he raked his hand all over her body, fondling her. As Jeff deepened the kiss, the nude image of Rhoda flashed across his mind, and started imagining himself doing this to her instead. He couldn't help but pull back to caution himself. "Oh, my gosh! This is wrong," he said as she shoved the thought into the pit of his mind which served as the trash can, hoping it wouldn't be recycled.

Karen bit her lower lip and sat upright. "What do you mean it is wrong?"

"Karen, I'm sorry. I just… I'm just too tired from today's … Uhm.. work. Maybe some other time."

"You know we don't see each other often, baby. It is usually once or twice a week."

"That's because you're always busy, Karen. You know I'll always make time for you anytime you want," he said and Rhoda's image flashed back again. He closed his eyes for a moment to caution his brain before opening them.

Fuck lustful desires!

Karen rose to her feet and carried her handbag. "Okay. I'll call you. Bye, darling."

Jeff nodded. "Yeah," he said and watched her walk out the door.

"That was quite an intense moment, wasn't it?" Rhoda said as she slowly walked down the stairs.

Jeff looked at her and got aroused all over again. She wasn't even naked this time, but all he could see was —— He reprimanded himself. "Mind your business and stop walking like that. It's a total turn-off. Are you an old maid?" That was a lie, but she didn't have to know that.

"What?"

Jeff ignored her and walked back into his room. "Come and get your bags or do I have to throw them out the door?"

"Dare me, motherfucker."
