Chapter Five
I know I’m already wet down there and right now, I’m soaked!
One of his hands travelled down on my thighs, lifting my leg wide as he positioned himself in between.
“No…” I resisted but my voice came out the opposite of what I wanted to sound like. It seems I’m asking for more than trying to stop him. Damn it!
In one swift move, he thrust his already hardened member inside my soaking cave and a long moan of burning pleasure escaped my mouth. He thrust in me hard that I can feel him deep inside me.
“Fuck, you’re still too tight.” he whispered.
“S-Stop…”
I didn’t had the chance to say anything because he started to move in and out my hole, driving me to the edge of my sanity, feeling my orgasm coming fast.
“Ugh, even tighter…”
The hands he had on my chest moved up to my neck, gently but hard, choking me. Not too much for me to get hurt, but enough for my breath to hitch, maximizing my climax that I felt my walls clenched.
“Look at me, Lila.” he ordered and I obeyed unconsciously. I looked at him, with parted lips, and at the verge of coming.
“That’s it.” he groans. “Come for me. Now.”
As if he has some sort of power over my body, I did came as my hips met his rough and deep thrust.
“We won’t stop yet, baby.”
**
Images of what happened that night kept replaying in my head over and over again. I found myself biting my lips, daydreaming.
“You okay, hun?”
I looked up at my Dad. He was holding a cup of coffee in his hands, standing beside me as he looked at the view of the sunrise in front of us.
I was sitting on the porch of the house I grew up in. After that night with Kyler King, which was a day ago, I sneaked out the moment I woke up, leaving him sleeping soundly.
I hardly remember how many times we did it again and again. I lost count of it, but from how exhausted I felt, I’m sure it was a lot.
“Yeah, Dad.” I answered shortly.
“You spent the night, is everything okay with Taylor?”
I sighed loudly from hearing my husband’s name. Now, the good thoughts were replaced by my real nightmare.
“Oh, the sigh says it all.” My dad chuckled.
I didn’t know if I should tell my dad about it. He liked Taylor a lot, and I was still undecided about what to do with him. I’m not sure if I’ll end things with him yet, or if I will.
I don’t know.
I got used to him, and it’s hard to take him out of my life, even from a thought.
Though I know I won’t be happy with him now. I’m not even sure if I still love him the same as I did, but still, it’s there. I still have feelings for him, but I know it’s not the same as before.
“Well, you know, honey, couples do face things like what you are having with Taylor right now.”
Really now, Dad? Ha! I bet I just got lucky.
“And it’s good you get some air. Sometimes space won’t hurt at all, and you are always welcome here when you need just that.”
He gave me a tap on the shoulder, and I smiled at him, which he returned with the same familiar warmth before walking down the house.
Nah, it’s better to keep this inside than break my dad’s heart by making him aware of the pain I’m having.
**
That same day, I decided to go to my old job and meet my friend, Shanaiah. The last time I heard of her, she was still working in the same department I used to work in.
“So why are you planning to go back? Was your current job not paying well?” she asked.
We were sitting in her cubicle as she moved the project she was working on and paused to talk.
“No, it was okay. I also talked to them over the phone, and they confirmed my resignation, effective on my chosen date since I don’t have any unfinished projects.”
“I can’t see the company being the problem then. What did Taylor say about this? He doesn’t like having you far from him, does he?”
Why can’t I have any conversation with the people I know without having my husband’s name mentioned?
I sighed.
“He’s cool with it,” I said, looking at the papers on her desk to divert my attention away from the topic.
But this friend just knew me too well.
“Uh-oh. That is where something is wrong, isn’t it?”
I sighed again and smiled, a fake one. “Everything is great, Sha. I was just missing working here—”
“After two years? Nice try, North Star.” She laughed when I slapped her back hard.
“Aw!” she laughed again.
“I just want to be back, Sha. And the boss says I always have a place here, so I can’t see any problem with coming back.”
“Well, the only problem I can see is that you’re married. Who would fuck you here? Me?”
I smacked her once more, and she laughed again.
I sighed.
“Okay, I get it. You and Taylor are in some kind of trouble. Yeah. Yeah.”
I did not bother to reply to her teasing remarks because if I did, I might tell her everything. And I’m not ready to have that conversation with the people I know yet.
The thought that they knew how I fell in love with Taylor, how much he showed me I was loved, how we started, how we continued—it's just hard for me to make them see how it turned out and how it might end.
My phone rang, and I looked at the screen to find my husband calling.
I rolled my eyes, and Shanaiah caught my reaction.
“The husband, I bet,” she laughed.
“Ha-ha. I need to go,” I leaned in and kissed her cheek. I had nowhere to go, but I couldn’t stand being next to Shanaiah right now because I was so close to telling her everything that had happened.
When I reached the ground floor of the building and walked out of the elevator, my phone rang again.
It was an unregistered number. Who might this be? Taylor? I didn’t want to talk to him and kept ignoring his calls. Did he use Rafaela’s phone to call me?
That bitch. Well, there’s only one way to find out.
Reluctantly, I answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Lila.”
I stopped walking upon hearing the voice on the phone. Is this…
“How did you get my number?” I asked, clearing my throat because I think my voice sounded pitchy.
Kyler King.
Slowly, I continued walking. Suddenly, I felt like my surroundings had stopped as if to watch me.
“Your ex-boss is a friend,” he chuckled after saying that. I rolled my eyes and cursed silently.
Of course. That’s why my former company had the project for his Manhattan hotel—aside from the fact that we’re good designers, of course.
“That’s an invasion of privacy, Kyler.”
“I don’t think there’s anything private between us though.”
I could hear him smirking, and I rolled my eyes. This guy can really be a jerk sometimes.
“What are you up to?” he asked when I didn’t respond.
I decided to tease him a little as I walked out of the building.
“Going back to my husband since I’m done with you.” I held myself from chuckling after saying that.
I didn’t hear anything from him for a few seconds, and I busied myself by looking down the stairs as I walked.
Why isn’t he responding? Did that get him? Who am I kidding? Why would Kyler King get affected by that? He has a lot of women swooning over him!
“Look up, naughty cat,” at last, he spoke—and… what? Look up?
As soon as I did, I almost fell on the last step of the stairs because there he was: Kyler King, standing in front of me as he leaned on a red Lamborghini.
He looked like he had just come from an exhausting meeting with the way he wore that black suit. And, fuck me, he wore it better than anyone I’d ever seen. Not even the most famous model could score a point with how he pulled off the look!
I realized I had stopped walking when he started moving closer toward me. He stopped right in front of me, and I looked up at him, feeling like a minion because of his intimidating height. I could barely reach his shoulder.
“Going back to who?” he asked seriously.
I noticed the different shade in his eyes right now. It was darker, and it conveyed a message I wasn’t sure I’d interpreted correctly, but there was irritation, annoyance?
“I--”
“You’re coming with me.” He grabbed my wrist and pulled me with such force that I couldn’t escape. Not to mention, the moment our skin touched, I felt weak.
“Where are you taking me?” I asked. He opened his car door and forcefully slid me inside.
“Hey—” He closed the door quickly, as though he hadn’t heard a word I said.
Why am I being an idiot right now? I could get out of the car, anyway. But…
I don’t want to.
There’s nothing wrong with going with him, right? This is a good thing to do. I’m getting my revenge on Taylor the same way he did to me. Who knows how long my husband and that business partner have been fucking each other, right?
Kyler slid into the driver’s seat and looked at me as he closed the door.
“You’re going to join me on my vacation,” he said, smiling playfully, and I almost laughed. He started the engine, looking at the road while still smiling.
“You don’t sound like you’re asking.”
He snapped his head to look at me, kicking the gas as he scoffed.
“You’ll come, anyway.”
This guy confuses me like hell. Why is he being like this to me, anyway?
Chapter SixI should have known that “somewhere near” isn’t the same as the “near” I expected.Because right now, all I can see are trees and the massive townhouse standing before me.We must have traveled at least two hours to get here, and for a ride on an aviation vehicle, that’s far.“Welcome to The Hill. Or so it’s called.”I jumped as Kyler’s voice startled me, his breath brushing against my ear.What the—he scared me! He laughed at my reaction, clearly amused.“Chill. I won’t murder you here, don’t worry.”Oh, great. So, does that mean I’m going to be murdered somewhere else?He opened the front door, and I was instantly greeted by the vintage charm of the townhouse’s interior.“Wow.”The place was stunning—everything made of polished wood in warm shades of white and brown. It was soothing to the eyes, inviting and cozy.“This house is a work of art,” I said, unable to hold back my admiration.It was rare to see something like this. Some of the furniture had intricate carvings
Chapter SevenHe played with his lower lip using his thumb as he thought. I was distracted, but I fought myself to stop watching that finger brushing against the softest lips I had ever tasted.“I’ll be the host, and you’ll be the guest,” he finally said.“That’s... literally what we are now,” I laughed, but it came out awkward, so I cleared my throat, blushing after. “Okay, then?”“I’ll ask, and you’ll answer. Then you have to ask me a question, and I’ll answer.”I nodded. “Mmkay.” That sounded fine—and, again, safe.It’s good to get to know each other anyway. Though, realistically, this phase should’ve come first before the sex part. Normally, we should have become more familiar with each other before jumping into bed but... oh, well. Alcohol is to blame. And problems. Okay, blame me too.I sighed.“Whenever you’re ready,” he said.“Oh, you can start.” I sipped my drink slowly.“What’s your favorite sex position?”I almost choked on the wine I was drinking. What the—!“Pardon me?”“
Chapter EightLila’ POVHis kiss made my stomach churn, butterflies are flying around us and my body felt the goosebumps every time his lips moves. He groaned and pulled away with the kiss just to look at my eyes. Our gazes locked and its filled with burning desire. Seeking for another sinful pleasure, longing for its taste once more.And god, I’m longing hard that I’m denying I am.“I want you…” he whispered. His cool mint breath mixed with alcohol is so addicting to smell. I didn’t know breathes could be luscious but right now, I’m drowned into it.I closed my eyes, bit my lips and slowly nodded for answer. His palm went to my cheeks, his thumb caress my skin and I leaned on it. Feeling the warmth his palm has sent to my skin straight to my chest.Slowly, he guided me to lay down on the couch as he mounted above me. My chest are moving up and down abnormally because of the excitement and libido I feel. It seems like we never blinked as we gazes into each others eyes.“I’ll die just
Chapter NineI lost count of the days I stayed at The Hill with Kyler but one thing I am sure was: I liked being with him. I still doze off and think of my problem with Taylor sometimes but its nothing compared to the times I didn’t think about it.Being with Kyler is a great experience, and the guy is a good entertainer.And a good lover, too.We had sex in every corner of this townhouse and even outside! Everytime our bodies will bumped or our skin touches or our eyes locked with desires, it’s automatically leading to sex that kept my mind blown.I can’t even count how many orgasms I had with him but I’m thinking that its more that what I had with Taylor.And I like it a lot. Not Kyler, the sex. Am I kidding myself?Although I know we are not going down the road of taking a step of leveling up, we sure enjoy each other’s company. I think I’m contented with just that.“What if we got lost?”We are on our way to the forest to get some woods for the fire pit that we planned to use to
Chapter TenLila’ POVI felt my blood boiled from the pain and anger as I watch my filthy husband kneel in front of me. How dare him use his relatives to make himself look like the hopeless victim?!“Babe, I love you. Please forgive me!” he reached to hold my cold numbing hand and I felt disgusted from his touch that I hastily pulled away.“Lila, look at the guy,” his uncle Davis butted in. “I’ve never seen Taylor like this with a girl before.” Davis chuckled. I never liked this guy. Not when Taylor and I were dating, not when we were engaged and definitely never gonna like him forever.“He never put effort to a girl unless he mean it, Lila.” said another relative.“Aw! He is so sweet!” said Cherry, too innocently.“Forgive the guy, Lila!”They continued cheering for Taylor and I could see the shining hope in his eyes from the support he gained, but in the back of my head, I could say that his expression is hideous. His relatives seems unaware of the truth and that’s why they stand by
Chapter Eleven“Just forgive the man. He gave you his everything, don’t let your relationship get ruined because of a one time mistake.” Davis said but I paid no attention to him. I didn’t take my eyes off Taylor. We fought with our gazes and there is no way I’m backing down just because of his deadly stare.We stayed like that for a minute and he only blinked when I snapped my arm off his hold. He looked down to my elbow when I touched it, I felt a sting of pain from how tightly he gripped my arm.“I’m sorry.” he shut his eyes tight and looked up to me. “I know you are hurting and feeling betrayed right now but I end ties with my affair and I promise I won’t repeat the same mistake again.” his voice is low now, not like the over-confident tone he had earlier.My head played back to when I saw him and Raph on our room, in our bed. The clip of Rafaela thrusting a dildo in and out of Taylor’s hole and the way my husband moaned from the pleasure of being fucked replayed on my head like a
Chapter TwelveLila’ POV“Did you forget your undying love for me while your bitch was fucking you from behind?!” I screamed.I heard some of his family gasped, mostly the women. Murmurs was heard all over the room and it seems I’m the one who’s not making any sense.“Lila!” Davis shouted. “When will you stop these lies?!”How ironic.When Taylor speaks, they didn’t had any second thought but believe him right away but when it comes to my word, I’m a liar?I faced Davis and everyone, ignoring what the uncle had said. I won’t be the goody two shoes lady they knew, not anymore. I’m the one who was betrayed here. Not Taylor. I’m the victim who believed Taylor’s lie, I become blind with my love for him, and there’s no way I will close my eyes in this matter at hand.“A week ago, I came home early when my client canceled a meeting and when I came home!,” I pointed at Taylor. “I found my husband on our bed getting his ass rummaged by his so-called business partner!”“You have no proof, youn
Chapter ThirteenI’m seated on our bed, hugging my knees and tears won’t stop falling down my cheeks. I was held captive by my husband! In our own home! I was about to say I couldn’t believe this is happening but who am I kidding?It’s been hours since he locked me in this room and he hasn’t come back yet.I feel tired. I’ve been crying all this hours and thinking non-stop of the hatred blooming in my chest to the person I devoted my life to.I made a wrong choice, he is a wrong choice. I shouldn’t have rush things as a young stupid adult, this marriage, this life.This is not what I wanted. I should have get to know him more, I should have used my fucking mind rather than my foolish heart!Taylor’s angered face popped in my head and I cringed from the image.I never knew that side of him. The way he looked out of his mind, insane, a person I never have met before.The way he claim that I am his possession was scary.Terrifying.I thought I held the card in my hand, that I am the one
Chapter Thirty-ThreeOur eyes locked the moment we stepped into the elevator. There were five other people inside, and our floor was the last stop.He looked at me with undeniable heat, and I knew I looked at him the same way. I wanted him now. I wanted to kiss him, to devour him. I craved another taste of the feeling I knew only he could provide.Kyler reached for my hand, his fingers weaving through mine, pulling me closer. The warmth of his touch sent shivers down my spine. I sighed, a deep, longing breath. Pure lust was taking me over, every inch of my being screaming for his proximity. I felt as if I were being consumed by the intensity, as though I was devouring him with my gaze alone.Now, it's clear to me that he wants me. Not as a mere distraction, not as a fleeting amusement to pass the hours. He desires me, not superficially, but with a depth and sincerity
Chapter Twenty-FiveLila’ POVI can no longer cry. That is what I’m sure but there’s no hint of giving up on my system.Never.Right now, the only emotion I have is anger. Fear, yes. But my wrath is exploding, its tremendous that I can’t fucking pity myself from all of this anymore.They won’t let me eat or sleep if I won’t get back with Taylor? I’d rather die!The sun is already out, and I know that today will be the day that my husband will come back from the hell he went to! I wanted to tell him what Isabel did but I won’t!I rather endure everything that his family does to me than make him fought for me. I won’t let him stand up for me, not anymore. I’m ending our relationship, and I’m not trying to strengthen it by having his side.Though it sounds so good if he will kick his own family our of their wealth but I want to leave him, it won’t matter.At least when I’m out of his life, he still got his family’s back.I haven’t eaten for half a day, and that was supposed to be fine, I
Chapter Twenty-FourI opened my eyes and looked at him. Tears started to crawl from my eyes and I felt my heart heaving as I look at the man in front of me.“What happened to you, T?” my voice trembled. My husband looked down. I don’t know what he was thinking but the fact that he can’t look at my eyes meant he is guilty. At least a bit.After a while, he looked back up to me and smiled wryly. “I failed, I guess. I failed to be the good husband that I promised you I’ll be. I failed to keep my secrets away, I failed you.”I cried more from his answer. Tears rolling down my eyes but I can’t make any sound. My throat felt like its being clenched, like a hand was gripping on it tight.Am I wrong to not gave him a chance? What is it that changed between us now? Is this the limit of my love for him?Yes.I can’t see myself with him again. I can’t see Lila living with a new Taylor, his secrets might be better to just be kept but I also don’t want secrets coiling with my relationship.“Yes, y
Chapter Twenty-ThreeKyler’s POV“Should we wait a little more, Sir?” Johnson, my secretary asked as he stood behind me.I’ve been sitting here, at the garden, for quite a long time. Food is fixed on the table for two, there are candles which already melted and shortened. My jaw continued to clench as I stare at nothing.She didn’t come to me…I asked Johnson to prepare all these and while waiting, we’ve discussed some work I left because I was too agitated to come home. My excitement was all for nothing, huh?I guess Lila still love her husband after all. That lucky bastard! I knew it’s not a good thing that I let go of her earlier, that I let her come to her husband. I already have my hands on her and yet, I fucked up again!If only I didn’t let her go, she might’ve still be here.“No, Johnson. My guest is not coming.” Bitterness twirled on my tongue as I said the last words.I was born with a silver spoon placed on my mouth. Everything and anyone easily succumbed in my hands and ye
Chapter Twenty-Two“Why did you come here?” I asked. I’ve been bothered with that. I thought he won’t run after me, or he might be scared to. I escaped him, I might go to the police but I didn’t. Still, doesn’t he feared that possibilities?“The moment I came home and found you gone, I got scared. I don’t want to lose you, Lila. I love you that much.”“You cheated on me.” then I looked at him. “I found you doing some--.” I sighed, unable to continue the words.He looked down to his hands. I don’t know if he is just acting or what but he made a good show of looking ashamed like that.“I know I-”“Tell me, Taylor.” I shifted on my sit to face him properly. Taylor looked at me with the same expression he has on since I saw him today. “What are you? Are you gay?”He frantically shook his head. “N-No, no, I’m--”“Okay, let’s play this game.” I chuckled. “Question and answer, but I will be the only one asking.”Taylor slowly nodded so I started.“If you are not gay, are you bisexual?”He l
Chapter Twenty-OneI remembered what we had talked about at The Hill during our escapade and I know just what he was asking.I nodded. “Yes.”“Hm, then if you come to me tonight, may I take that as a hint that you are finally divorcing your shitty husband?”I cannot hide my laugh from how I found humor in his words. My decision was to talk to Taylor about divorce but now that Kyler said that, I want to surprise him.I will show up tonight unannounced and let him know about it.“Don’t go laughing at me, lady.” he scolded with a squinted eyes. I laughed more.His phone rang and he looked at it with knotted forehead.“Work?” I asked with a smile. I know he is a busy man, I also wonder how he find time for us despite his schedule. “You should go,”“I’ll walk you out.” he offered and I nodded my response.I have made up my mind. My marriage needed to end and I will talk about it with Taylor, then afterwards, I will go to Kyler.We walked out of the hospital and Kyler kept looking around. W
Chapter Twenty“You seems close with that doctor,” I said, chuckling, while we walk down the hallway of the hospital, heading out.“Yeah. He’s originally from New York and was an exclusive doctor to our family so I grew up with him around. He transferred here in Manhattan when Grandma died, together with his family.”Oh. I think I get it. From the way Kyler acted so close with Dr. Brown, I can only imagine how the doctor got attached with his late grandmother.“I see-”“Lila?”I looked at my back when I heard someone called my name.Shit.It was Grace. Taylor’s cousin and a doctor, too. She’s working here?! Fuck.“G-Grace!”“Oh, wow! I never thought you’d be here!” she come and hugged me. “T is right to find you in Manhattan, you’re really here!”I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. My husband was looking for me! And he is in Manhattan!“I need to call him!” she said, grabbing her phone.I can’t stop her. I think she haven’t heard about what happened between me and my husband.I wa
Chapter NineteenLila’ POVOh, my! I’m so full!“Did you like the food?” Kyler asked me as he wiped the side of his mouth, so elegantly, with the table napkin.“Yeah, you?”He smiled, “I liked you more,” I blushed but he chuckled. “Yes, this is one of the best Italian restaurant here in Manhattan.”“I’ve been gone for so long, this place is not here two years ago.” its true, I know most of the best places here in my hometown. This restaurant serves a great quality of food, this must be new.“Yeah. We just started a year ago.”“’We’? You own the place?”What. The. Hell.I know he is rich as fuck but I never experienced being with someone who is as wealthy as him.He chuckled. “You looked shocked.”I blushed. “I am. Thought you’re in the hotel industry.”He nodded and sipped on his drink. “I invested on other lines such as restaurant and telecommunications. This restaurant, however, is different. My friend was a chef and he asked for my help so he could start his own business. I’m just
Chapter EighteenI chuckled from how he looked tired, trying to open that mesmerizing eye. “I don’t think you can.”Kyler closed his eyes and laughed, a very subtle, masculine laugh I have found sexy to listen at. “Be careful on taunting the lion, Lila. This lion still sees you as his prey.” he whispered and buried his head on my neck, biting gently on my soft flesh.I gasped.Damn. Just by that small move and I felt electrocuted!“So you and the husband did it...” he whispered, and his voice suddenly turned stern.I frowned, puzzled by what he meant. “What?”Kyler’s hands trailed down to my chest, then his finger stopped at the upper part of my breast, drawing circles on a specific spot. “I did not put this here,” he whispered while looking at where his finger is.I looked down and saw a huge hickey right there. Taylor did that!“And,” he continued but stopped to move his hand.Slowly, he trailed his hand more, down to my stomach, to my belly, until it reached the inner part of my le
