What?Did he just say what I thought he did?A frown settled on my face as a mischievous smirk, dotted his face. I couldn’t help but feel a bit offended that he had the time to joke around after the way he had treated me last night. It made me wonder if maybe the whip had something to do with it. He probably must have whipped a few screw loose and that might have been the reason he had forgotten what had happened, as well.“Excuse me?” I said, my brows furrowed while expecting a response from him.“Why, did I stutter?” he replied and then I knew he meant what he had said, every single word.Pouting my lips in annoyance, I walked towards him with the bowl of grilled fish and potatoes. The delicious aroma wafted through the air, tempting my own taste buds despite the situation. As I reached him, I stilled for a moment, catching the subtle playfulness in his eyes, evident by the smirk that adorned his lips. His expression hinted at a mischievous challenge, daring me to go along with his
ALISTAIR’S POV“How are you feeling, sir Alistair?” The doctor asked while the nurses pulled out the syringe from my arm.I flashed him a reassuring smile, and he reciprocated the gesture before tapping on a pad in his hand. Glancing around the room, an hour had passed since I woke up, and there was still no sign of Chloe returning from wherever she had disappeared to.It made me wonder where she had been to and why.“What about her?” I asked as I couldn’t hold it much longer and the doctor stared at me with a raised brow before he nodded.“Oh, Mrs. Levon?” he asked and a subtle smile painted my lips.Mrs. Levon – the thought of her hearing such a thing probably left her embarrassed, and the realization that she might have already caught wind of it, with me absent to witness her likely irritated reaction, fueled a strong desire to kick myself.“I asked around and was told she had gone to see her mother.” He spoke, pulling me out of my thoughts while I nodded in understanding.I smiled
ALISTAIR’S POVWiping the blood streaking from my nose, I glared at my so-called brother with bloodshot eyes. The term “brother” held little resonance in this moment, given the frustration that stemmed from the realization that he had set me up.He knew his mother would be there. He knew she hated me and when I told him I wouldn’t make it to the dinner, he kept in persisting. Though he wasn’t at fault either as I choose to be present and wasn’t forced, I just needed someone to transfer my aggression to.“What are you all doing standing there?“ I asked as I tilted my head to the maids, that stood still as they watched the scene before them. “Get lost!“They all sauntered to their heels, moving out of the room in haste before I turned to look at my brother. He picked up a napkin from the dining table and wiped his bloody ass nose.“Are you mad at me or you foolish girl?“ He questioned and once again, my body moved on its own. Before I knew, I had gotten close to him and pulled him tight
I slowly began my ascend up the stairs while massaging my temples as the weight of grandfather’s request weighed heavily on me. After delivering the information, my brother had gone and had confided in me of the reason he had decided to show up, instead of sending someone over.He wanted me to know that he had no resentment towards me for how the dinner turned out and he knew I would believe him without doubt if he showed up himself and he also, wanted to inform me to take it. To accept my grandfather’s request and let Chloe go.Though I had no affection for her, I didn’t want to let her go just yet. She owed me for the watch and maybe twice more, since I had to rebuy it. Though I couldn’t equally refuse grandfather, I also knew that I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing that I would be ending my contract with herMy first stop was her room and as I walked to the door, I could see the light within as the door was slightly opened. She laid on the bed, obviously engrosse
“Time for you to strip,” she playfully demanded and I eagerly complied. My dick was quite cramped inside my shorts and welcomed being released from the constricting clothes.“Onto the bed,” she said, pushing me down and guiding me on where to lie. Then she retrieved something from the drawer beside her bed but hid it from my view while she climbed into bed. I realized what she had taken from the drawer when she pushed my arms over my head and I felt handcuffs being placed around my wrists. She had run the cuffs through a spindle in the headboard and secured my hands to it. I was not going anywhere.“Let’s get something straight here,” she said sternly. “Today I get anything I want, right.”“Right,” I answered.“Well, as agreed you let me go to see my friend?”“Right,” I answered. This was a side of Chloe I had never seen or known she was capable of; forceful, dominant, and sexually aggressive. It scared me in a way, but I liked it.She took a blindfold from a bag on the ground and pla
CHLOE’S POV“You really are a virgin.” He said and a subtle smile painted my lips while my cheeks flushed with embarrassment, before I looked at his face.The smile vanished instantly, leaving no trace, much like it had appeared. His expression didn't show any sign of being impressed or satisfied by this realization; instead, a hint of horror crossed his face. His features crumpled as he repeated the same thing over and over as if it were a mantra.“I told you I don’t do virgins, Chloe.” He said and I could tell he was hurt but I was even more confused.I mean, I remembered mentioning my virginity to him earlier, and at that time, he had revealed his intentions. However, when I made a move on him later, he didn't refuse, and it seemed like he had forgotten his initial response. Now, the realization appeared to dawn on him. A frown formed on my face as I locked eyes with him.“How is that my fault?” I questioned. “I didn’t see you pushing me off you when I tried to help you jerk off,”
In that moment, tension enveloped us, leaving both of us momentarily speechless in the face of the situation. My gaze shifted back to Alistair, and a subtle smile played on my lips as I discerned a distinct hint of jealousy in his eyes. A frown crept across his face, deepening with each passing second. Our eyes met, a silent challenge passing between us as I dared him to do the worst. His gaze shifted away, focusing on our entwined arms, and he busied himself adjusting his tie. The tension lingered, accentuated by Jayden's subtle nervousness. However, my concern deepened as I wondered why Alistair refrained from reacting to it. The once-present frown on his face had dissipated, replaced by a subtle smile that left me puzzled and uneasy.“Sir…“ “Just do as the lady says.” Alistair interjected, halting Jayden's attempt to speak further. He briskly passed us, exiting the scene, leaving Jayden and me to walk together, side by side. As we approached the vehicle, Alistair turned at my dir
Her gaze shifted to Alistair, who wore a smirk while locking eyes with me. There was a subtle smile on her lips as she glanced back at me before finally uttering words that held a yet-unknown significance. “Oh, I’m sorry … I didn’t mean to offend you.“ She said and my brows creased as I noticed the amusement on Alistair’s face. Sense of Alistair's unspoken intention lingered; perhaps he refrained from pointing out my apparent jealousy to spare his friend's feelings or merely to tease me. I turned towards the young lady with a forced smile, battling the urge to blurt out that I wasn’t his girl but was merely under contract, overwhelmed me. “None taken.” I replied and she smiled before she finally walked away, after sparing another glance at him. “Jealous I see.“ Alistair finally spoke and my brows curled into a frown. I was annoyed by his statement and the fact that he had assumed I was jealous. He was wrong, totally wrong. Though my action were of that of someone jealous, I wasn’t
Chloe’s Pov I caught Alistair’s gaze as he casually shrugged, a smile playing on his lips. Glancing over at my mother, I couldn’t help but mirror his grin. Anxious thoughts raced through my mind as I pondered how she might react upon learning about my background. I couldn't shake the uncertainty of whether she would embrace me or regard me with the same disdain as the rest of Alistair's family. Would she too label me a pauper and chastise Alistair for the supposed error of welcoming me into the family? "You're even more beautiful in person," she complimented, and I felt my cheeks flush as she enveloped me in a warm embrace. It was evident that someone had briefed her about me, and I had a strong suspicion that it was Alistair. The thought that he found me beautiful sent a thrill through me. "Thank you," I managed to say once I found my voice, gently pulling away from the embrace and tucking a few strands of hair behind my ears. "You look great as well," I complimented, earning a
