Indus LeoFor those who don’t know… Jacob and Natalie are the main leads of my first book. That’s why I wanted to show their relationship. If interested, you can check out two spicy chapters referred here in the first book: My Hot forbidden neighbor. Chapter titles are ‘Don’t you dare!’ & ‘Loopholes.’

45. New memories > I stare at my phone as I type and delete my reply again and again. My palms become sweaty, and I put the phone down. Fuck. What should I tell him? Phone vibrates one more time and I take a peek at the messages. Jonas: ‘Pack a swimsuit.’ Jonas: ‘I will be free on Saturday afternoon. We can do some water sports. Are you in?’ Me: ‘Wouldn’t it be too cold?’ Jonas: ‘Nope. During the day, it should be fine. What do you say?’ Jonas: ‘Hello?’ I was packing my bag for tomorrow morning and I made the mistake of asking him if it would be cold on Mackinac island. Why couldn’t I simply g****e it? We ended up having a conversation and here I am in a situation I don’t want to face. I haven’t been to any fuckin pool party in past two years, so a beach or a stupid swim suit is out of question. I pick up my phone and type my reply with shivering fingers. ‘I don’t know how to swim.’ My digit hovers over the screen but I am unable to send it. I wonder if Jonas

46. Hard Drink>After we get down from our ride, the helicopter flies away, leaving powerful gusts of wind behind. I glance back to see Jessica, but it’s Riley who catches my attention.Riley looks stunning in her flowy sundress. The vibrant patterns with shades of red and white, contrast with the green background of the island. She has tied strings around her waist, highlighting her tiny figure. I want to wrap my arm around and pull her close. Her gaze meets mine, and her cheeks flush into a delightful color of pink. She clumsily tries to hold Jessica in one arm while trying to hold down her dress with another.I walk towards them, remembering how she almost fell down on Halloween evening. I have plans for this trip and I can’t spend my time looking after two whiney babies.“Jessie, please come to me or Riley will sprain her ankle again.”“I got tired that day! I was fine otherwise,” she protests as Jessie happily hops from her lap into mine.I look at her, amused. H

47. My Daughter’s babysitter. > Riley is perched on the kitchen counter, swinging her legs back and forth. There is a playful glint in her eyes. She has been asking me questions and is euphoric that I am answering her. Apparently she got deeply offended that on Halloween I talked to Natalie and Ira while ignoring her. Although I don’t see the point of this so-called interview. She won’t remember most of the conversation we are having. “Do you like reading?” She asks, taking another gulp. Her cheeks are flushed from the alcohol. “Yes.” “What do you read?" “Mostly science fiction. Sometimes non fiction too." "When do you find time?" "Before sleep. If I am not too tired...” “How long is your TBR list?” “TBR list?” She rolls her eyes. “To Be Read list?” I laugh. “What’s up with the fucking abbreviations in your generation…” “Abbreviations save time, Old Man! And don’t change the topic,” she rebukes me, taking one more sip, only to realize her glass is empty

48. Detained>I should be happy that I got a free tour without spending a penny. It’s a beautiful place. Jonas told me some of the history. Interestingly, during World War II, the villa was used as a hiding place for some wealthy Japanese families who were trying to save themselves from the backlash of Americans. He told me his grandfather bought it when he came to USA. Originally, they lived here before moving to a bigger city where he founded Josef constructions. The same company for which I did that laborious and soul-sucking data entry work from dust eating files.I was stunned by how marvelous everything was. Furniture and art pieces made of polished wood and glass. Each room has a balcony overlooking the lake beach. This place has a pool and hot tub too. As if the lake in front wasn’t enough. Once we settled into our rooms, I explored the Villa and property around it with Jessica. There is a cemetery nearby. I sat near a tombstone with Jessie for a while. I would

49. Consent>My cheeks turn pink as some interesting images flash across my head. Let’s ignore that I indeed put words in his mouth. “You can’t do that.” My voice falters in embarrassment as I try to answer him.“If you comply. I won’t,” he says as he casually removes his sweat soaked t-shirt. What? Why is he…Perplexed, I retreat a step while he takes one towards me.“Do you like being tied, Riley?” He asks as his amused blue eyes linger at me. I shake my head in denial as my gaze swims across his chest. His toned muscles glistening with sweat can make any woman blush. Desire makes its way to my core as I imagine what it would feel like to be held down by his strong arms. There is so much he is hiding underneath his clothes.He chuckles and passes me, making his way inside. My gaze follows him, taking in the sight of his broad shoulders and well-defined back.“You are so easy to tease.” He turns and says before entering the bath, “Anyway.. Make yourself comfortable.

A/N: Please make sure you are reading this story at GoodNovel. :) Condoms > How does that sound? Just a simple question goosebumps rise across my skin. The room is still dark. But a gentle glow of light falling on his face tells me the sun will soon rise. I want to glance at the clock, but his face is too pretty to look away. I am dying to feel him against me. Naked. Skin to skin. “Sounds awesome…But… There is one problem." He raises his brow in question. "I need to pee,” I add, my voice barely audible in embarrassment. He regards me with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes, and I scowl. “What? We all do that first thing in the morning. Right? “ He chuckles under his breath and I sit. “I know I am ruining the moment, but I don’t think we can do anything without me wetting myself. And that must not happen.” I let out a nervous laugh. He doesn't say anything and nods. Taking a cue, I try to get up. I yelp in surprise when he yanks me onto his lap. His hard

51. Volleyball>I scramble for my clothes as a wave of panic washes over me. How could I be so reckless? What if something happens? But it wasn’t my responsibility alone. Right?“You can stay here for sometime if you want,” he says, putting on his shirt. In other words…. It would be better if we donot go out together... Of course, no one should see us. I gaze upon him. He is distracted by Jessie’s voice getting louder in his phone app… Completely oblivious to the fact that I am freaking the fuxk out.Breathe Riley. It’s no big deal. I have to go to the pharmacy. I have never had these pills before… So I don’t know how it works.Wait. I had them once. Bile rises my throat, and I cover my mouth, trying to focus. DON’T THINK ABOUT THAT.“What’s wrong?” Mikolaj asks as he takes a step closer to me.I look up and give him a weak smile. “No biggie. Just go. Jessie is getting impatient,” I tell him. He nods and pulls me into a searing kiss, making me forget all my worries.“T

So I reply, “I want to do some dress shopping… But I don’t know where to go.”“What’s the occasion?”“Yes, I need a party gown for the evening.”“Oh Obviously. It’s a casino. So shop accordingly.”Oh. I didn’t know that. “Are you coming?”He shakes his head. “I am busy. Camilla will go.”I cross my arms and look out at houses passing by. Of course Camilla will go. She would be Mikolaj’s date. What is she even doing here? I tap my feet, letting myself fume in my seat, wondering if Mikolaj was really indifferent or I am, as usual, overthinking?“So… Are you going to office too?” Thankfully, Patteson asks and I am momentarily distracted.I shake my head. “No. Although Mikolaj gave me some assignments at his place.” But I will ask him if I can come to office a few times a week.Patterson nods.

When he finally tucks his phone away and lies beside me, I turn onto my side to face him. It’s then I notice the slight hitch in his breathing, each breath rough and uneven, his face etched with lines of pain.“How bad are your injuries? Your liver?”“It’s fine. She was creating a fuss for no reason,” he says with an air of annoyance towards the stern lady. “My ribs are still a mystery. We will know more after x-ray.” His voice trails off, and I glance up at him, raising a brow.“And…?”“Nothing serious. I’m hoping it’s just a hairline fracture, not a full break…”“Sounds awful.”“Not that bad, trust me. I am just worried about how I will handle Jessie jumping around in bed.”I go quiet when I hear Jessie’s name. How things will be when I get back to my life. West could try to kidnap me again, or Maxim. Would I

. - Riley - .As they wheel through a dimly lit hallway, lethargy and dull pain wash over me like a heavy blanket. My back aches, my left arm throbs, and there’s something digging into my neck that’s becoming increasingly annoying.The stretcher carrying Miko pulls away from me and he protests, “Take us to the same room!”“No…” the medic who tended to us in the chopper says pointedly.“Oh, for fuck’s sake, it’s not a hospital!” Mikolaj snaps at her.“Our commitment to our work rivals that of an emergency room.” She claps back in a mockingly professional tone and I am wondering if I should laugh or be wary of her statement. “Plus, do you want to die of internal injuries?”“Yeah man… We need to make sure the person paying us doesn’t drop dead,” the guy with the dislocated shoulder croaks, eliciting a round of chuckles from the others. “I feel fine,” Miko mutters, sulking.“She needs some privacy, and you need an ultrasound.” With that, she rushes into a room with the man who has a bull

A brief glance behind tells me the man limping along with me is losing his strength. “Stay here and make sure no one comes from behind,” I tell him. We both know it’s unlikely—everyone in this building is either dead or incapacitated. Still, I would rather he conserve his energy than exhaust himself before the mission is over. We’re not safe until we’re out.“How is it going?” Raylan asks over my ear piece and I grunt.“Not sure if she is here,” I reply, keeping my focus on the bodies lying down. My urge to drill another bullet in each of their heads is strong, but there’s no point in disrespecting the dead, especially when it would invite more legal complications than we already have.“Fuck.”My heart hammers in my chest as I ask, “What?”“Yours is the only team having some action. Rest of the sites were… Not the one,” he says with a slight pause.Based on the analysis of the sunlight and

A small part of me wonders if it's the police. I have no choice but to wait and watch my luck unfold. So I do that. I sink in a corner and flinch with each gunshot. Rapid sharp cracks make my heart jump as I realize someone is firing an automatic rifle. This can't be a rescue mission. Considering the chaos outside I will definitely die before the night ends. Chewing on my lips, I glance towards the bathroom and consider. I should try 911 again. My legs are weak beneath me as I tiptoe inside and lift the lid off the toilet tank. I reach in and feel the cold plastic of the phone. Next, I go to the mattress and lift the edge just enough to grab the folded piece of tissue that hides the unused pregnancy test. I shove the test into my pocket, promising myself If I survive this night, first thing I will do is take the test. My

How could she say that to me? “He was groping me. What am I supposed to do? Let him feel me?” “As long as he is not screwing you without payment, I don’t see a problem.

. - Riley - .As West locks the door from outside, I turn and my eyes meet the stare of security camera, its red blinking light taunting me. Is Mikolaj really watching or is West just playing mind games? Doesn’t matter. I am pissed at both of them. West kidnapped me, but Mikolaj... He literally forced me to live with him so I would be miserable.“Does my misery make you delighted, Mr. Josef?” Slight shake of my head I add, “I fucking hate you… Hate that you used me to get your stupid revenge.” I know he cannot hear me, but if he could, would he even care? Turning on my heel, I stroll into the bathroom. As my hand grips the cold knob, the rage drains away, leaving the hollow ache. My emotions are a chaotic mess, bouncing between hurt and fury. I should blame the sex party West forced me to stay in. The atmosphere of lust and excess made my eyes bleed. Figuratively. Then he had the nerve to ask for a kiss. And the worst part… First thought that crossed my mind was how Mikolaj would re

Deal. - Mikolaj - .“They will try to squeeze you dry, Miko. This 10k stunt was just to put you at ease with the idea of spending money. I know you’re stressed, and this is why you need to consult others before spending any more money,” Raylan says as he pulls over in front of Camilla’s house. Apparently, paparazzi are still lingering around my house, hence Camilla brought her here.“I will also look for an expert who can advise us on negotiations. If they contact during the night—which we both know is highly unlikely—ask me or Camilla first. Don’t decide anything alone.”I’m too exhausted to show my annoyance. So I simply nod and grab my bag to walk inside. House is dark with a dim glow pouring from the laptop on dining table. Camilla is sitting there, clenching a tissue in her fist.“Camilla?” She closes the laptop and straightens her back.“Took you a while…” she asks in a strange voice.“Yea,” I reply, my eyes searching her face. She seems somewhere between upset and composed.“I

Victor glued to the couch, startled. “About time,” I say as he gets up and takes a run towards the door.Raylan blocks his way, pushing him back inside.“Wh- What do you want this time?” Victor asks as Raylan nudges him one more time as he stumbles onto the carpet.“Camilla told me about your polite comment a few hours ago,” I sneer at him. “We were curious what it meant.”After my meeting with Jacob and Natalie, I got an interesting call from Camilla and I took flight back here immediately. Since the website Jacob told me about is inaccessible, I am hoping to find some answers here. “I-I meant no offense.”The door knocks and Camilla’s voice comes through. “Are you guys in there?” Raylan lets her in and her eyes widen, seeing Victor. “Where the fuck are your clothes?” Then she frowns, her eyes searching for something. “

Do you need something?” Scar says as before I can ask Tank anything.“A blow job,” he says with a twinkle in his eyes. I know he is talking to Scarlet, but his fixed gaze at me pisses me off beyond no explanation.“Try that and I will bite it off. Then maybe shove it in your mouth,” I grit through my teeth.His face contorts with anger as he strides towards me. Scarlett rushes between us, creating a barrier while my fingers twitch to grab the knife on the counter behind me.“West won’t be happy if you create a mess in here.”“He isn’t my fuckin boss.” He snarls.“Even others won’t be happy. This is an important meeting, Tank. Please… Calm down.”With a jerk, he grabs Scarlet’s hand and backs away. “Join us for the party or die in the kitchen, but you cannot leave this area until the party is over.”“I was looking forward to attend
