“Yeah, I was expecting some packages.” I replied, already moving away from her towards the pretty silver stairs that led up to our bedroom. “I’ll check them when I’m done taking a shower.”
“Alright.” She chirped and turned away. I moved up the stairs, smiling to myself. Sara had really decided to come back to us after she had gotten terribly hurt by Tina after that first attack on our house. She had said working for us was more than a job, that she had watched Neil and I grow as a couple… and nothing made her happier than making sure that we're well taken care of.It was so sweet.And I was happy she was here, even though we see her even less now, than before. She had always been elusive and quiet with her activities, to the point where we wouldn’t not bump into her for days, and now she was even more elusive. Because, according to her, newlyweds needed a lot of time to themselves and she did not want to intLeilaniI felt his arm snake around my naked waist and he softly turned me to face him, one hand brushing my hair off my face as he cupped my chin tenderly. “Hey, you okay?”I blinked, trying to gather myself together so he would not notice how scared and panicked I was. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. I was just lost in thoughts, you know.” I forced my lips into a smile, and he kept staring at me, obviously not buying my little excuse. He sighed, letting go of my chin to run a hand through his messy hair. “Leila. When will you stop trying to keep things from me? I always tell you I want to know even the tiniest thing on your mind. I love you, and you’re my wife now. I don’t want you to face anything alone. Just like you always face everything with me.”My mind was working so hard to get an appropriate reason I could tell him for my change of mood. I reached out to hold his hand softly, looking up at him, “I am not
AdonisMy contract was almost over. Thank fuck. It was a pain in the ass having to return to this city which held so many fucking unpleasant memories. It was in this fucking city, that I got entangled with my step-brother’s woman in a fucking way that had me trapped and got me all shades of fucked up. In this fucking city, I got entangled with my family again, and they got hurt because of me. Lily nearly died because of me. Again.Three months ago, when Tina sent me to the darkest place of mental misery, I had to leave. That was the last straw I could take before all the cold calm exterior I had layered over the pain would shatter violently. And I did not want anyone to see me shatter. So, I left. I went back to my place in my city and stayed there. I took a leave from work, which they easily gave me because I was way too valuable for them to refuse.There, I wallowed in my pain and darkness. I was plagued by flashbacks of Cora dying over and over again. I cou
Adonis“Oh shit, look who it is! The motherfucker in flesh and blood!” A male voice exclaimed behind me, and I did not even have to fucking turn to know it was that damn rascal called Cole. In seconds, his footsteps came up to me and a punch landed against my arm. “Fuck, bro. No homo, but you look damn good. I bet you were getting all the pussy while the rest of us worked our asses off here. And I owe you a good beating for taking Spence off the team. Now, I’m left with that boring nerd called Tim to talk to. Jade is too much of a handful and that new replacement wouldn’t even look at me twice, though my eyes are always on her.”He whistled. “She's damn ass sexy. A real vixen in flesh and blood.”“Your flesh and blood will be spilled all over this glass floor if you don’t shut the fuck up, Cole.” I snapped. I only just got here, and it has to be Cole who first welcomes me with his horny bullshit.
She was the mysterious lady in seductive red clothes I had slept with in Las Vegas. The woman I had drunk, explosive sex with in her hotel suite and she dumped me before I even woke up. The first woman I had ever fucked that wanted nothing else to do with me the next day. If I had no confidence, I would have thought she vanished because I was bad in bed. But that was obviously not the case. I never saw her again. That was three months ago. And she had been working here in my absence for close to three months?“Um. You two know each other?” I heard Jade break the heavy silence in the room.“Yes.” I answered distractedly.“No.” She said at the same time, sounding equally distracted.I arched an eyebrow at her. Why would she say she does not know me? She definitely remembered who I was. I glanced at Jade, to see her staring between the both of us with a confused frown on her face. The same expressions were on Tim's and Cole's face
AdonisShe gasped, eyes widening with righteous anger. Yanking her arm out of my grip, she snapped, “Jade told me! What the hell is wrong with you!” Her plump red lips were parted in shock, feline dark eyes fiercely glaring at me. For some reason, seeing her grow furious somehow doused my own foul mood, and instead my eyes fell to the neckline of her shirt which dipped teasingly towards her cleavage with each breath of hers.Why the hell was she so fucking sexy when furious?She eyed me down, lips curling into a quiet snarl. “The sex was great, alright. But your ego must be blown out of fucking proportion if you think I would ever stalk you.”I closed my eyes briefly. Why the hell had I reacted like that? I have been so fucked up in the head by Tina and all her madness that I had turned into a paranoid fuck. Shit. I opened my eyes to gaze down at her. “I’m sorry. I would never have expected that you got that information from
Adonis“I'll be downstairs.” Lily said softly to Cora, glancing briefly at me before moving out of the room. Cora placed her book on the couch space beside her and slowly rose to her feet. Her eyes were brimming with so many emotions, and her smile was getting pretty watery. When she finally spoke, her voice sounded choked up, “My baby boy.” That was all she managed to say, before I found myself in her tender embrace. She was patting my back softly, and I thought I heard a soft sob escape her. With her hugging me right now, strong, healthy and alive hit me hard. The last time I had seen her, she was dead to the world. It was either the doctors put her in coma or death. And putting her in coma had not been guaranteed to save her. She could wake up… and she could die off from there.But she was fucking alive.And that was more than anything I could ask for. I put my hands around her shoulders and returned the hug, leaning down to r
LeilaniI was trembling against the sink, water dripping down my face and staining the immaculate white sink with makeup colors. I was trying to wash my face clean, but my hands were too shaky to even do that properly. I was so close to having a full-on panic attack. How am I ever going to get out of this mess?I grabbed a towel and wiped my messy face vigorously, brushing wet strands of hair off. When my face was clean of the last traces of makeup, I threw the towel in the trash and yanked off my tiny peach robe. I was done with my photoshoot at least, and I could go home and pop a sleeping pill to prevent myself from collapsing from terror. If only I could find Adonis. I could not reach him. Did he block me? I grabbed my casual sweats out if the drawer and pulled it over my naked body, dragging my hair out of the bun at the top of my head.I was a literal mess.But all I was focused on right now was holding my tears till I was completely alo
LeilaniMy soul ached.I looked up at his beautifully shadowed hard face. “You keep giving me mixed signals, Adonis. You rejected and walked away from me. Now, you’re right here.”He looked down to meet my gaze, saying in an unwavering tone. “I care about you. I don’t care about a lot of people, but I have the maddening urge to always make sure you’re safe. That’s why I’m here. I heard the case was reopening, and I knew that could hurt you. Only for me to find out some unknown fucker was already hurting you.” He licked his bottom lip. “But I cannot give you what you want, Leilani. Love or sex. Come with me so we can talk better?”Cannot or will not?It was a choice for him. He could not control his heart, but he could decide to fuck me anytime he wants… and no matter how disgusting it was, I was married, but I will always desire the man I truly love. But no, Adonis seemed to have vowe
