"What did you just say?" Bryce inquired for the third time that evening. He didn't exactly what to feel or how best to contain the excitement coursing through his veins. Listening to Hera say those words to him felt like a dream. A wild dream or was it a fantasy dream? What exactly do you call a dream that you didn't think was ever going to happen but then it did happen and now you're suddenly feeling ecstatic about it? Yeah, that was exactly how Bryce felt at that particular moment. Like he could suddenly carry the entire world on his shoulders. For the first time ever, he felt good about himself. He knew just how tight-lipped and reserved Hera was so saying something like this to him had definitely taken a lot of courage and a lot of guts. He felt proud to know that he was the first person that she had ever opened up about her feelings to. This right here, was the moment he had always craved. The moment he had always wanted to happen. He had been waiting for this day patiently and
Hera touched his cheeks with her hands. A small smile playing on her lips. "I want you too Bryce. I want to make love with you too." She answered, leaving him speechless and at a loss for words.As she stared back at those eyes that was fixed on her face, she couldn't muster a single regret or mortification about her decision. Bryce knew that she was vulnerable at that point and had all the time in the world to take advantage of her but still, he didn't. Normally, when a woman goes out of her way to say such words to him, it makes it easier for him to jump at the opportunity and do whatever he wanted without a single care in the world but he didn't. Instead, he was waiting.That was the only thing it took for his eyes to become crystal clear. Max was right all along. He had always loved this woman and wanted to be more than friends with her. This was the very first time he wanted something more than what he usually had. He knew that for a fact because he had met different women all hi
"I'm so sorry if i had hurt you Hera. I didn't know." His hands reached to caress her thighs softly. He repeated the process over and over again till she went calm under his touch. She stared at him with those eyes that held so many unanswered questions but he only smiled at her in a reassuring manner. He might as well get down on his knees and apologize for scaring her in that manner. He had been trying his very best not to scare her and now, he finally has.Who would've thought that this woman was a virgin at such age. He had thought that those things were myths and tales that only happened in books and movies but Hera was proving him wrong with every step. God just kept on throwing obstacles at him to test his patience and he must commend him for doing such a great job. No pun intended."I promise that I'll be careful this time." He inched closer to her, making sure to take his precious time so that she doesn't run away from him. "Trust me, Hera." He kissed her eyelids, slowly answ
_Lavender scented candles. Maple syrup with blueberry pancakes and cottage cheese. It smells so good_Hera smiled heartily in her sleep as the aroma from the meal hit her nostrils causing her to salivate. Who could be making such a delicious meal so early in the morning? It smells Divine. Could it be Bryce? She highly doubted that. The man doesn't even know his way around the kitchen talk more of making such a masterpiece. She has been the one doing most of the cooking for weeks now.She groaned deeply, her lips halfway parted as she tried her best to squint her eyes closed when the warm rays of the sun seeped through the curtains of the bedroom and hit her face through the covers. She turned to the other side of the bed and slowly opened her eyes to take in her surrounding. That's when it hit her that she wasn't in her bedroom.Memories from last night and what had happened between the both of them flooded through her head and she jerked awake in an instant, pushing the covers off th
"You're here!" Christina squealed happily at the top of her voice when the car came to a halt in front of her. An unfamiliar handsome and well built-up man opened up the door for her sister but that was the least of her worries. Her sister was finally here.She didn't know if she wanted to hug her sister to pieces or jump on her but she knew she wanted to do both. She was dying with so much eagerness inside her. Hera took the first step when she noticed how excited and surprised she was to see her."I missed you." She whispered affectionately, wrapping her hands around her tiny frame so that she doesn't let go. Christina reciprocated the same action. Tears stung her eyes but they were happy tears so she didn't bother to wipe them off. She basked in delight instead. She was finally back at the convent. Took them all day to arrive here. She has been excited, nervous and scared but now that she's here, she felt alive again although a little guilty."I couldn't stop thinking about you on
"Pass me the salad Christina." Hera overhead Martha's voice as she approached the dinner area with Bryce trailing behind her. She entered to see that they had prepared a grand feast for dinner. They've never really had a huge dinner such as this one before so she already knew that they went all out because of Bryce. They wanted to make a good first impression to her boss."You're here." Christina squealed happily. "Come and sit next to me Hera." She tapped an empty space next to her and after giving Bryce a brief glance, she walked towards the empty seat and lowered herself on it.Bryce felt conflicted. He was banking on sitting next to Hera for dinner and maybe for the rest of the night but he doesn't see that happening anytime soon. Hera was with her family and they'd probably want to spend more time with her since they haven't seen her in a long time. It would be selfish of him to try and get in between that and besides, it'll only be for a couple of days and Hera would be back wit
Hera was tight-lipped.She never expected Martha to ask her this question. She had always known that Martha had a sharp eye but still, what are the odds that she would figure something like this out in just the few hours that they had arrived here?And how on earth does she answer all these questions without spilling the truth. She wasn't the one who lies and she definitely cannot start now. She wasn't even good at it and Martha would fish out the truth even before she was able to make a complete sentence. Whatever she says would definitely have to bring out the truth somehow. This was her biggest fear in taking this trip back home and now, it's unfolding right in front of her very eyes.Her hands trembled and she felt cold shivers run up her body at Martha's intense stare. She was scared and every breath she shuddered was enough proof to that claim."Do you love him or not?" Martha repeated with the same intensity as before. "Is he just your boss or not?""Bryce is—" She stuttered, h
Bryce woke up to an empty bed. It took him seconds to realize that he had indeed slept on his own and that Hera had slept somewhere else. Has he gotten so used to her to the point that he could no longer sleep if she wasn't anywhere close to him? At home, his bedroom was only a few seconds away from each other but here, he doesn't even know which room she had slept in or how to locate her.He had stayed up all night in hopes that he could at least get a glimpse of her before going to sleep but he didn't. It was almost like she had disappeared into thin air right after dinner. He doesn't like this at all. Ever since they came here, he hasn't had the chance to talk or even spend time with her. Hopefully, they get everything done and dusted with so that they can both return back home together. He missed snuggling up on her lap and what's worse is that he missed having her all to himself.He wouldn't want to call this trip a bad one because Hera's family had welcomed him so warmly and sho
Cherry swallowed hard at Max's firm dick. Her jaw almost dropping to the floor. She had seen him naked countless times, a whole lot of time but it still doesn't make it any less scarier than before. He was huge and loaded. He scared her."You have that look on your face every time you see me naked. I'm beginning to think that you're scared of me. Should I be worried?" His lips curled up in a sinister smile. She looked at him and for a split second, he saw the terror that flashed through her eyes but it went as quickly as it came. It somehow made him proud that he was able to make her react this way."I am not scared of you. I'm simply shocked that's all." She mumbled to herself."Right." Max answered with a nod. "Well, if tonight will be too much for you to handle then you can go—""No." Cherry protested almost immediately forcing him to look at her. Go? She wouldn't dare even if he begged her to. She loved this man and she was willing to do anything for him. She was willing to go the
Max arrived at his hotel after leaving Bryce's house. He wasn't exactly sure why he was upset with what that Christina lady had said to him but he just couldn't bring himself to take it all in.So what if he said all those things? It's not exactly his fault that she was from a convent now was it? He had no clue that she was Hera's sister and it's not like he hasn't said those kinds of things to a woman before. They love it when he says something like that and it was her fault for not getting it and making it seem like he was the villain who had made the worst mistake in history.Pushing his hair backwards, Max alighted his car and treaded towards the reception of his hotel."Welcome back, Boss." His receptionist, Nora greeted him with a curt bow of her head. "How was your trip? Was it better than you anticipated?""It was alright." Max wasn't in a mood to say more so he just left his answer as simple as it should be. "Is the guest house ready for me?" He asked and she nodded with a pl
"Is everything okay?" Hera asked Christina worriedly as they cleared up the table together after dinner. Bryce was somewhere around the house with Max and Christina had offered to help Hera out even though Hera had told her not to worry about it."You've been awfully quiet ever since we sat down for dinner and it's crazy because you are never quiet Christina. You love to chat and talk about a lot of things. Are you okay? Is something bothering you?" Hera pressed on while Christina only managed a smile."Of course, sis. Everything is okay." She beamed in reply. "I just wasn't feeling chatty during dinner and besides, you used to scold me whenever i talk during meals so what changed so suddenly?""I know." Hera breathed out. "I just want you to feel comfortable here so i don't mind if you're chatty. I know that it wasn't easy coming all the way here and i just want you to settle in nicely.""I am settling in nicely." Christina assured her sister. She definitely wasn't moody because of di
Max stared down at the little woman that looked at him with a cold expression, standing in front of him. What are the odds that the woman he had encountered today at the airport would end up being his best friend's sister in-law. For the life in him, this wasn't exactly how he had mapped out his evening to go.But can you blame him? Lots of women had played out the supposed 'bumping into him' trick just to get him to notice them so how could've he have known that she was genuinely telling the truth about not wanting anything from him?Women always wanted something from him and they went through great lengths to get it as well. It's a well known fact at this point. If he wasn't filling their cunt with his dick and making them scream out his name at the top of their voices then he was satisfying them in other necessary areas.They always wanted him and it's not like he was complaining about it. It's always a win-win situation for both parties at the end of the day which was why he had a
"Hey man." Bryce's voice filtered from behind her as he came to greet Max at the door and Christina shifted from the door to the side when they shook hands and made her way back to the dinner table without uttering another word. What could she possibly say anyways?That his friend was the one who had assaulted her at the airport. He had made rude and nasty advances at her? Maybe she should just go ahead and tell Bryce that his friend continuously made a pass at her and offered himself up for tasting if she was interested in joining him on his bed. That would be quite a story to share with them over dinner wouldn't it?Somehow, She couldn't stop thinking about how Bryce was friends with the type of man and the fact that her sister calls him family. Does Hera know about him or was she oblivious to the truth? The more she gave it some thought, the more anxious it made her."Christina are you okay?" Hera had asked when she noticed how quiet she had become. Usually, she would've been askin
Christina's plane touched down at the airport hours later. After clearance and getting her luggage, she made her way past security towards the arrival section. The sisters at the convent had told her that she'd be picked up at the airport upon arrival.She looked around the airport, waiting and hoping patiently that she doesn't run into that man and that she leaves before they both spot or come in contact with each other again. She had caught him having sex against her will. Who knows what he might do to her if he finds out that she was still here. She had already rejected his advances once and he might think that she was onto him.God! She just wanted to get out of here fast and call it a day."Hey kiddo!" Someone called out to her and she darted her eyes towards the direction of the voice that waved at her. A wide grin broke out on her face as she rushed into his arms, hugging him tightly. It was Bryce."Big brother!" She squealed in delight. She wasn't expecting him to pick her up
"Christina, are you fully packed yet?" Sister Martha called out to her from outside her bedroom as she placed the last pile of clothes into her box and zipped it shut. She had made sure to pack her things for today's journey since last night so how come she's still struggling to finish last minute? What else was she forgetting?"Just five more minutes sister Martha. I'll be down in a bit." She answered back as she tidied up her room in a hurry, putting the rest of her stuffs away from the bed and stashing them up nicely inside the closet.Today was finally the day. She had waited a whole year for this and now, it was finally happening. She was moving to the big city at long last. She had passed her papers and a few weeks back, she had been accepted into the college of her choice. Everything was finally falling into place thanks to Bryce's help.She made to pick up her bags when a familiar portrait caught her attention. Slowly, she walked over to her dresser and picked up the framed eng
NINE MONTHS LATER....Hera sat up on the bed after her long rest. She and Bryce had both decided to officially tie the knot after her delivery which was due anytime soon. She stared at the ring on her finger and the images from that night flooded her memories. She could clearly remember that day as though it were yesterday. Bryce had gotten down on one knee and promised to marry and love her forever.She guessed that's all there was on marriage and soon after the baby is delivered, they will be joined together as man and wife. She had been feeling down that she would bring a baby into this world without going about it the right way but he had assured her that her fears were valid and had decided to do it right way. The godly way. The thought of that day approaching had her grinning from ear to ear.Christina and the sisters had paid her a visit as well during the latter stages of her pregnancy. Christina was very ecstatic about being an aunt. She couldn't wait for the day she gave bir
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Hera snapped her eyes open the next morning to see Mariam standing there by the side of the bed as she stared at her with a face full of smiles. She forced herself up with a smile to hug her. Feeling like she was forgetting something, she turned to look at bed in hopes of finding him asleep but he wasn't there.There wasn't a sign of him. Mariam wouldn't have walked into the room if he was there so where could he have gone without telling her? He always informed her before going anywhere so she was a little surprised that he wasn't here to wish her a happy birthday. He had promised that he would spend the day with her. Did he lie to her?"Ma'am, did Bryce leave for work already?" She asked innocently. "He promised that he'd be at home today.""I'm so sorry Hera but Bryce got an urgent call from work so he had to leave quickly." Mariam informed her. "He wanted to tell you but you were sound asleep and he didn't want to wake you up. He felt really bad and that's why he a
