KRISTEN"Are you still mad at me?""Leave me alone," she murmured. Her back was turned to me, the scent of her soap filling my nostrils and travelling into my head. "I need to sleep.""What can I do to appease you?" I grinned, stylishly scooting over to touch her."Go to Edith.""Will that appease you?" I teased."Kristen, are you serious right now?" she asked, feigned surprise creeping into her voice.I began to laugh. As much as she tried, she couldn't hold it. Seconds later, she started laughing too.I settled behind her like a wall, using her as my cute little spoon. Her body felt warm, more mature. She was growing, and not only mentally and emotionally. From what I could feel, her arse was getting more round and supple."I'm sorry okay? I never meant for you to see that. But I promise, it will be the last." I leaned down to kiss her exposed neck. "Kristen?""Hmm?" I murmured behind her ear. "What's wrong?""You are hard," she abruptly stated, completely off-topic, sending me int
JUNEIt has been a month since the first dinner with my father. That night was awkward. Had it not been for Favour, we would have sat there all night, gawking at each other. It wasn't until after I spoke with Henry that he voiced out how odd it was meeting Kristen. Not only was he my Guardian, but also my partner.But that was a month ago. After getting to know each other, they surprisingly became friends. Now, Favour spends most of her time with me.They were supposed to return to Oklahoma, but because of our contact, Henry asked for a transfer to Seattle. It was a hectic month for them, but things have quieted down.After my confrontation with Kristen, he hasn't brought Edith home. And she hasn't contacted me. Though she's still working in the company, Kristen promoted her. She's now a manager, while a recent employee replaced her as his secretary. All this he did was to placate me, knowing how much I loathed their intimacy.I can't let someone like her get close to my partner. As s
JUNE“June?” He sounded uncertain as he watched me.“Is this even a question, Kristen? Of course, I will marry you.” I drew my right hand out, and he slipped the ring on. It was as pretty as the first one he proposed with those nights ago, the only difference being the size. This one is smaller, but much more sophisticated.“Yes!” Favour squealed as Henry popped a bottle of champagne.“Thank you!” Kristen got up and hugged me, almost crushing my small frame with his large one. “You don't know how delighted I am about this, June. Thanks for always choosing me.” He placed both hands on the side of my face, and peered into my eyes, revealing so much with those green orbs of his.“Kiss, kiss! Kristen, kiss your fiancée. Come on, man!” Favour cheered. And like always, the others followed. But I didn't pay attention to them because my entire focus was on the man in front of me.He leaned down to kiss me, but I stopped him by placing my index on his lips.The chants ceased, and they all focu
KRISTENEvery day after the proposal was like a dream.I'd wake up with a feeling of ecstasy swarming every fibre of my being and an undeniable happiness that made me restless throughout the day. It was an acceptable kind of restlessness. One that made me itch to rush back home from work and cuddle with June. Just the thought of her made me eager, hard and fucking excited. For once in my life, I felt... complete. Henry and I were steadily warming to each other—Rephrase that: I was steadily embracing him and his love and acceptance of me and June.It felt like I was surrounded by immense love. Well, wasn't I?The issue of the settling scandal taught me a lot:One, you can only know your true friends and supporters when you have problems that need attention. Two, no matter the good you do, a little mistake could turn you into a monster before those who claim they love you. And lastly, loyalty should never be bought with kindness, it should grow naturally.Seeing June jovial and actual
JUNEFucking hell.How many times would I have to wake up with a pounding headache? Doesn't this get old? Like, I'm seriously tired of it and—My eyes snapped open when I recalled the incident of a few… whatever. I don't even know how long I have been out. Mark! Damn that guy. I opened my eyes and scanned around the place, knitting my eyebrows, puzzled when I saw where I was. I guessed I might either find myself at home or the hospital — like always — but I was dismayed to find myself in a vacant room. There was no furniture in sight aside from an armchair next to the door, and the only window in the room seemed farther than an ordinary window. The limited light coming from it was just sufficient to shed light on the apartment. Where the freaking hell am I?I tried to rise from the armchair I was sitting on, only to notice that they had shackled me to the said chair. What the hell??Did Mark tie me up here? Why? Is this a joke? Or a surprise? But that's not right. He drugged my
JUNEMy left cheek stung from the slap I just got. I wanted so badly to rub on it, but it was impossible. Secured to the armchair, I couldn't even move my hands. “You don't seem to have learned your lessons, June. Well… that's wonderful. I will gladly do everything over again until I get what I want!”“Which is?”“How did it feel losing your baby?” She smirked, mouth curling up at the sides like a clown. “Do you perhaps wish to go through it once more?” “What? My baby?” I choked. “You were… You did… But…”“I was the one that found you, right?” She laughed, walking back to the chair. She sat on it and faced me once more. “It was fun playing with you and Kristen. Acting like a good Samaritan was worth it. If you assume you will have my man and live contentedly, you've got something coming for you!”“My baby….” I mumbled as tears freely ran down my cheeks. “You… You were the one who sent her?” I raised my face to look at the woman in front of me. “And not only that. I was the one who
KRISTEN"June has been kidnapped."I stood still, frozen to the spot, scared and confused at the same time. My heartbeat doubled. For a split second, I could almost picture Mark opening his mouth again to speak and telling me that June—God forbid, because I'd hang myself in the living room—was found dead somewhere."Don't worry, she is okay," he added. Seemed he noticed the dead look in my eyes. I exhaled in relief, my breath coming out in gasps. Surprisingly, Mark was no longer frantic and running around in alarm. I didn't pay much attention to it. "What the hell do you mean by that? Her safety isn't something to joke about! Where is June?" I asked, rushing to my table and grabbing my keys. Mark was still not moving."Kristen, listen to me. Listen carefully." He blocked the door. "I made all that drama to clear the way so I could see you on time."Keys in hand, an erratically beating heart, and my mind flying in all directions, I stopped at the door and accessed Mark with squinted
KRISTENEverything happened suddenly.I saw Edith jerk back in shock, gasping as she saw us storm in. The room seemed oddly neat. It was unlike what I had in mind. I was happy for one thing: the men were not kidding. They took their jobs seriously. I could almost see the tension hanging over their heads like a cloud.I ran straight to June, with Mark heavy on my heels."Baby!" I knelt in front of her while the officers advanced close to Edith, cornering her to a wall. "June!"She was trying to struggle out of her restraint, and she looked very fatigued.Mark moved behind her and unlocked the chains, then lifted her to her feet. I planned to pull her into a reassuring hug to calm her down, but... but the next surprising thing happened. June jutted her palm forward, stopping me from initiating the hug any further. She focused on Mark, throwing eye daggers at the young man beside me."What took you so long?!" She demanded from her, her eyes narrowed in... anger? But she didn't look angr
EPILOGUEJUNEPeering down at my baby, I tried not to shed a tear. Martha Mary Storm was the name Kristen gave to her, in honour of the two women who played significant roles in our life.I tenderly caressed her red hair, which was so much like her father's. The only thing she picked after me was her honey-brown eyes.She produced noises in her throat, and I did the same, inducing her to giggle like a darling. It has been 6 months since I gave birth to my baby. Favour and Henry literally live with us. They do nothing else in their leisure aside from spending time with their granddaughter, who I have no doubt will be spoiled rotten.It doesn't help matters that Mark adores her. He's always getting presents for her, declaring to be the best uncle she can ever have.He hasn't found a girlfriend yet, though he insisted he wasn't in a haste to find one. I have sought countlessly to help him out, to ease my guilt, but he doesn't seem to want that. Kristen asked me to let it.“Darling, Mark i
KRISTENI stood on the balcony overlooking the sea, my light-cotton robe dancing behind me to the tune of the wind. I couldn't contain my happiness. Within twenty-four hours, my life had suddenly become complete.June made me complete. It took everything in me not to burst into tears when I saw her coming up the aisle with her dad.My doll... My June... My life had spontaneously gotten back on track, and I couldn't be any happier that June was there with me to celebrate, to give me congratulatory kisses, and to pleasure me as we rejoiced.Immediately after the wedding had ended, we flew out to Maldives for our honeymoon. In June's words, "Seattle has too many bad memories. I need a breather."And I couldn't help but agree. Here, in a bungalow close to the sea, we had all the time in the world, making out when we wanted and engaging in all sorts of fun activities. In less than twelve hours, we had played in the shallow part of the water, fucked on shore, fucked on the kitchen island,
JUNEI confronted Mark about his feelings, and he came clean. I felt guilty hearing him speak of how much he had loved me for the past 10 years. I was such a fool for not realizing that the boy who had always been by my side was in love with me. It was painful to think that I played with his emotions all along, constantly speaking of Kristen in front of him. I can't express how much pain he passed through when I got together with Kristen. Yet, he was there for me through thick and thin. I can't ever ask for a better friend. That was why I vowed to help him. I will always be there when he needs me. The moment the makeup artist left, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I looked different. I can't explain how she did it, transforming my face until I looked so much like a doll. “You are beautiful," Mark whispered, coming to stand beside me. He locked his gaze with mine through the mirror, grinning. “Thank you.”Dressed in a dark blue suit with a golden tie, he looked so mature an
KRISTENI knew she had a sly plan when I heard her ask, “Have you ever fantasized about watching me pleasure myself?”What I didn't expect was to get restricted from using my hands.Her boobs were larger than I remembered, the soft plums a beautiful feast to my eyes. I could see the smooth flesh of her inner thighs and the desire swarming her brown irises."Go there," she ordered, pointing to a couch in the corner of the room. "And take off those obstructions."In a haze of desire, and lust—I couldn't tell one from the other—I rose to my feet and shrugged off my trousers. The shirt and briefs followed seconds later, leaving my hard cock throbbing expectantly, jutting out in front of me like the heralds of a very important news.I could already see a clear pool of precum on the tip of my cock, but I knew she would only tell me to stop if I did as little as touch myself. I sat on the couch, and she hastily turned the bed to her auditorium. "You love my boobs so much." It wasn't a ques
JUNEI leaned towards him and kissed him. I only intended to peck him on the mouth the same way he did to me, but he didn't have the same thoughts. He wrapped his right hand around my waist and brought me closer, pulling me to sit on his thighs.It was a slow, sensual kiss. One that left me panting for breath as he tangled his tongue with mine, sucking it into his mouth. I wrapped my hands around his neck, clinging to him as he deepened the kiss.His right hand started going down my back, but I stopped him, shaking my head as I looked down at him.“What's wrong? Don't you want to do it? Did the doctor ask you not to —”I placed my index finger on his lip and slowly shook my head. “The doctor said nothing like that. We may have sex as long as we don't take it to the extreme,” I explained to him like one will do a little kid — not that he's a kid.“So….”“I've always wanted to do something.” I pecked him on his lips and got down from the bed, smiling at the confused man sitting on the b
JUNEWith the phone in hand, I strode towards a still shell-shocked Edith. I smirked, loving the way her ugly face writhed in anger. “You know, it was fun playing with you, Edith.” I raised the phone, waving it in her face. “You are just a bitter woman who deserves to be shackled for life.”“You played me all along? I assumed you were naïve!”“Naive?” I scoffed, raising the phone. “Well, I just learned something today. Before Mark told me of his encounter with you, I assumed you were only involved in sending the thugs to me. Who would have predicted that you are a bloody killer!”Before the detective could stop me, I slapped her. The resounding slap reverberated in the silent room, startling everyone around me. “June!” Kristen rushed towards me, but I raised my hand to stop him, smiling apologetically at the detectives. “I just wish to speak to her about something. I hope I'm allowed to do that?” I charmingly smiled at them, making adorable faces. “As long as you don't get physical
