BLAINE

Oh God, this was a total disaster! My head was pounding and my throat was dry. I opened my eyes and wandered around. I’m definitely not in my room. This was way bigger than mine, but I saw my suitcase beside the door. I was about to drag my feet out of the bed when I noticed I was wearing the same dress. How the hell did I get in here?

I was pretty sure I was dancing with my cousin and drinking at the bar, then I just fell in love with that drink and I couldn’t just stop drinking until I felt the effect of the alcohol on my system and it was too late to stop.

I lied back down and stiffened when I smelled the pillow. Damn! How can I forget this smell? The same smell when I knocked on his door and the same smell when I danced with him last night.

Sitting straight on the bed, I felt suddenly dizzy. I massaged my temple when I noticed a shadow hovering over me. I slowly

    XANDRYWhat the fuck was I thinking back there? And she just shrugged, asking me back the same question with sarcasm. I like her, that was for sure, otherwise, I’m not doing all this shit that I’ve never done before. And whatever this tension between us I knew this was just sexual frustrations and nothing couldn’t do with jacking off or a woman to scratch my itch when my deal with Saph was over. But every time I thought of another woman made my stomach twist and my cock didn’t show interest.Blaine was devastatingly sexy, but why am I not jumping on her yet? Ridiculous, wasn’t it? She was like a forbidden fruit on my reach but protected with an unbreakable shield. And her focus was on raising her child and not some sick relationship with someone like me. So, I’m a goner.The fact that I’m not breaking a deal with Saph made me believe that I had actually self-control over temptations

  • One Cocky Mistake   Okay, I’m Overreacting

    BLAINEOh, my God!I couldn’t believe Xandry brought us here in the Marina. I’ve seen sailboats and ships but not a real yacht—A luxurious, world-class freaking yacht.Damn rich people!“Hey guys, I’m here!” Saph called out, waving her hand on us.I thought all the rich city girls were bitchy, gladly, Saph was not one of those people. She was funny, smart, outspoken, and babbly. I could totally see the female version of Xandry on her.“Blaine!”Oh hell, no! can I go home now?No matter how I wanted to experience this yacht, the insecurities hovered over me like thick, dark smoke. She was not just gorgeous like her brother, but she was the definition of perfect, wearing hefty price tags of dress and just her bag, oh, Lord, I’ve been drooling over it for a month now since I first saw at the official global site.“Saph.” We instantly hugged, kissing each others’ cheek

    XANDRYThe Harrises and I settled at the bar lounge. Talking about business was not the best topic I wanted to indulge when I was on the yacht, but that was what the oldies were enjoying at this moment while I was currently mind-fucking Blaine.The Harris’ twins were already at the spa room with the best masseuses with the relaxing androgynous scents of sophisticated oil mixed of sandalwood, violet, and vanilla, or probably the sensual aroma of the sweet almond oil.Saph and Blaine were lounging at the deck—their faint laughter was tempting me enough to join them, but that was their girls’ time.One of the reasons why I brought them here was to spend time with Blaine and not sitting in front of these oldies while listening to the topics out of my interest, but I was not to be disrespectful, was I?My girls walked inside with still a smile on their faces. Blaine’s eyes gl

  • One Cocky Mistake   You’re Too Much For Me, Too

    BLAINEThere was no denying that my attraction toward Xandry was on top of the universe, and I could see in his eyes that he felt the same. He was under my skin since I met him, and yet, I kept pushing him away for being scared of hurting myself again. Now, I was sure I couldn’t or rather wouldn’t push him anymore.I felt lighter that despite me having a kid, he still wanted more than sex with me—he wanted a relationship. There was nothing wrong with giving myself another chance to be happy, right? Besides, that was a long time ago, and I couldn’t hold grudges against someone who had nothing to do with my miserable past relationship.It’s unfair.“Sweetheart, what’s in that pretty head of yours?” He stopped kissing my neck, leaning his hands against the back of the door of one of the suites, and caged me in his powerful arms. His eyes bore into mine, still swimming wit

  • One Cocky Mistake   I’d Rather Dig Horses’ Shit

    XANDRYAfter hearing Dad’s faint deep voice telling me to come in, I walked inside. He was sitting behind his glass top desk. His office was modern and boring surrounded by glass walls. There was no decoration other than his chair, the desk, two chairs in front, a small coffee table, and a single file drawer. No family photos, paintings on the wall, nor rags.Alexander Phoenix Williams had a principle that family would come first, and he made sure to leave the office on time and spend time with us. He had a high ceiling symmetry dark-stained wood office and library at home he shared with Mom. My mother, Samantha collected all the books published by her publishing house plus the books she had when she was young. She was also a fantasy-adventure author under the pseudonym of Hanna Andry.Dad’s fingers were linked together on top of his desk without uttering a word.“Hey, Dad,” I

    XANDRYRiley was so damn ecstatic when I sent a quick text before my flight to pick me up at the airport. I just wanted to surprise Blaine and now this dude was hugging me and kissing my cheek.“Stop it, I don’t want these folks to think I will fifteen you.” I wiped my cheek playfully and wrinkled my nose.He laughed loudly and got back to his truck after I loaded up my suitcase and two paper bags in the back seat. “So, Blaine doesn’t know you’re coming, huh? And how long will you stay?”My stomach sank that I had only a weekend with her. “Two days.”“And you’ll travel back and forth like this?” He pulled out of the airport parking lot.“I have a job there, so yeah.”“Blaine avoided relationship since you know, but I’m not blind not to see what’s between you two...” he trailed off, and this was what I was not good at— a confrontation between man to man over a

  • One Cocky Mistake   Stop Threatening Blaine’s Property

    BLAINEAfter taking Ben from my parents’ home, we went home immediately to prepare our dinner. Mom was so happy to see Xandry and we had to spend lunch with them—she had to impress him with her new stew recipe.I made a simple creamy white lasagna—Ben’s favorite since he’d been asking me for over a week now, but my mind was somewhere else. I guessed I was starting to be a terrible mother for Ben, yet he never complained although he didn’t miss to ask about Xandry occasionally.The fact Ben liked Xandry so a lot, terrified me, and the last thing I wanted was to hurt my son and to keep him under false pretenses.This was my first time to have a man in my life since his father, and I couldn’t help but question myself of how was I going to explain to my son if Xandry was done with me?“Sweetheart, I think I heard the oven dinged.” Xandry already prepared the table as he insisted on helping, he placed the wine given by

    XANDRYSomething was wrong with Blaine. Everything around here was pleasant—from the music to the booze. Even the people were warm—tipping their heads to acknowledge my presence. Her friends were enthusiastic and witty, but Blaine seemed distant and restrained.Riley joined us later, and damn if this wasn’t a fun night—a good way of forgetting Dad’s anger for a while. Thankfully, he didn’t shower me with calls and messages like he used to do. I guessed he finally accepted my decisions. Or he was planning something.“You okay, sweetheart?” I asked her for the umpteenth times because she was still tense. And all I could think of a reason was the people would gossip about seeing her with a man for the first time.I didn’t know how to crack her open. Blamed it on my-fucking-self for being so ignorant about dealing with relationship troubles.But we are not in trouble, are we?“I’m good, just a little tip

  • One Cocky Mistake   Epilogue- Intimate Mirror Room

    XANDRYThe sun shone through the scattered clouds as I sat down on the fine sand beside my wife. Yes, my wife. I literally kidnapped her when she was with my sister stressing out about planning our wedding. When I figured out she had not traveled outside the country, I pulled out some of my connections. Well, one of the perks of being a VP.And here we were on the beach of Harbour Island in the Bahamas and got married not longer than five hours ago. And we just broke the bedposts of the hotel bed earlier. But still, I couldn’t help but turned my head on my wife, lying peacefully on the sand with only a skimpy yellow two-piece swimsuit, sunglasses that covered her eyes, but I knew she was staring back at me. So, I strolled down my gaze to her neck where she still had a hickey on its right side and at the swell of her left breast. The light stretch marks on her flat stomach made her sexier

  • One Cocky Mistake   Operation: Project Blaine

    BLAINEI was in the shower when I heard a soft knock. I knew who was in there without looking through the misty glass wall. So, instead, I pressed my naked and wet body against the glass door. I wiped it to see Xandry’s reaction.“You want me to join and take you there again?” he asked, smiling mischievously.“What do you want, pretty boy?” I asked then bit my lip.He groaned. “Don’t give me a hard-on when I’m about to meet your cousins, sweetheart. And I’m sure as hell I’ll think a lot about that wet body while I’m with them.”I opened the door. “You always go out after sex—”“Lovemaking, Blaine.”“Okay, lovemaking, since we’re back to town three days ago. What are you all up to?”“Wait, were you jealous that I spent some time with your cousins and Troy?” His brows furrowed. His face expressed sadness.“No, baby. I was just wondering what were you doing with them. And I’m not

    XANDRYDad looked at me with pride. “Xandry deserves something better. As a Vice president of the Williams holdings, I turned over my position to you, as of yesterday, so, Congratulations, son! And I’d like also to welcome my son’s fiancee’s family—”“What!” Blaine exclaimed beside me.“Harrises, welcome and enjoy the party. And son?”“Go ahead, Xandry,” Mom whispered, and I couldn’t remember how she got beside me. Everything just happened in a blur.I was thrilled, scared, and overwhelmed as I walked down the aisle to the stage, and everyone moved back, giving me the way like I was about to be crowned as their prince. Funny, I was in a second of ditching the party and yet here I am, walking toward Dad.“You didn’t propose?” the first thing he asked.“Seriously? Did I just hear you said my fiancee’s family?”“Your sister told me you bought a ring, so I thought you already proposed, a

    XANDRYOur birthdays had always been a bash. Mom chose our grandma’s mansion as the venue, and instead of the usual party we did at Night Stalker since we turned twenty-one, it was different this time. Dad’s business partners, family friends, and relatives were invited and of course, Rexwell, Hugheses, and Kings. On my part, I invited Blaine’s family and friends.Unfortunately, I and Dad barely talked these past few weeks other than he said he was glad that Sammer had finally discharged from the hospital. So, as I tried to be a good son, I respected his silence and stayed away from trouble as much as possible.I had been talking to Rexwell if he could offer me a job after this party and he was willing to help. Dad was supposed to announce my position tonight, or maybe he had another plan on humiliating me in front of our guests, or finally, he decided to give me a seat in his compan

    BLAINEMy heart accelerated and I was worried I might pass out. I just stared at him with wide eyes. His eyes glowed when he said the five words earlier.“Y-you l-love me?” I asked in disbelief.“You heard it right.” He loosened his grip on my waist, completely releasing me from his arms. He stepped backward and ran his fingers through his hair, then propped his hands on his hips.“I-I just wanna hear it again, you know.” I shrugged and looked down, licking my swollen lips that his taste was still on them.The tension suddenly thickened when he didn’t talk. I lifted my gaze and that was when I saw him grinning with eyes filled with humor and love.He stepped closer, cupping my face. “I love you, Blaine Noelle Harris. So much. I’ll make sure to tell you this every day until you believe me, and I’m going to make you feel it too. I love you since I rushed to see you and press you against the wall of the barn.” H

    XANDRYDays went by uneventful. I submitted the first half-year report a week earlier than I used to, but Dad, well, he wasn’t impressed. During our family dinner, I was like an invisible person to him, until after dinner when I walked to his office. Dad was in the red lounge chair with an empty glass, where he usually sat when not behind his desk.My stomach rolled. “What’s the deal with your silence, Dad? Did I happen to develop some kind of invisibility?”He didn’t reply or move. He kept staring at the old painting owned by his late father, Henry Archibald Williams.“Are you going to ignore me throughout our lives? Until one of us is eventually dead? Because I have no plan on leaving Blaine if that’s the reason why you’re doing this to me. You talked to her but it didn’t scare her away, in fact, I’m asking her to move in with me. With her son. Just do me a favor not to be harsh on her. Treat her civilly at least.”

    BLAINEMom placed some potatoes to the preheated oven, and for the first time in like forever she allowed me to help in her kitchen. I was back home for almost a week now, but we hadn’t gotten a chance to spend time together. She invited me or rather forced me to stay for dinner, and I knew there was something she wanted to talk about so urgently.I sliced some red radish and tossed them into the bowl. I left Ben with Daddy in the living room as they tried to solve some puzzles on his iPad app.Mom sighed deeply as if she wanted to say something but holding it back.“Just say it, Mom.” I watched her moves closely as she wiped her hands with the flowery kitchen towel Bianca had slipped into my luggage for her.She finally moved beside me, tapping her short fingernails against the wooden countertop. “So, what is your plan, sweetie?”I slowed down slicing and met her gaze. “What plan? For Ben?”“For you an

    XANDRYMy stomach churned as I walked out of Dad’s, determined to prove to him that I deserved to be happy and the position he had for me at the Williams was mine. I did everything I could and it wasn’t my goddamn problem if he wasn’t satisfied with the effort I did. Hell, I didn’t fucking care anymore.Gasping for some air, I walked outside of the employees’ exit of the club. It smelled cigarettes, pees, vomit, and alleys, but I couldn’t care less. All I wanted right now was to scream all my frustrations out of my fucking life, then made love to Blaine in my bed all night.Fuck!“Hey.”I turned to face the voice calling me from my back, and to my surprise, Blaine looked like she was carrying the world on her shoulder. Closing the space between us, I cupped her face and searched for the answer in her eyes. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”She shook her head, pressing he

    BLAINEXandry helped me out of the crowded dance floor to the bar, then talked to the broody tattooed bartender. He wore all black just like all the bartenders with him. If Kyland was scary, this man screamed danger—dangerously handsome in mysterious ways, but there was something in him that seemed warm—his eyes? The way he sided-glance at me. He was quite a good looking guy if he happened to smile just a little bit. He nodded at Xandry, then turned to me as I slid to sit on the dark bar stool.“Can I get you something to drink? It’s in the house, ma’am.” His voice was friendly and warm, but he kept his stoic looked the same.The whole bar was opposite of Max’s. This one flashed with modern designs with a dim-lit interior that was perfect for New Yorkers’ vibe.I smiled shyly. “Yes, a Phoenix’s princess, please,” I swore his lips curled into a smile, then nodded and mixed my d
