I fucked her to oblivion and not ones or twice, four times and all of them were better than the other. To say it was the best sex of my life was an understatement, we fit together like a misplaced piece of puzzle. Moreover, it felt real with her, if it was in my control, I could fuck her all day but she was sore and hurting her was the last thing on my mind. It was almost 3:30 AM when my eyes opened instinctively, my run was at four and I could skip it after the night I’d had but Lizzy couldn’t be late to open her shop. I hated to do this but I had to wake her up because if she missed her regular time, she’d be madder at me when she woke up.
I take a few moments to appreciate her sleeping form, her hair is all mussed up and her lips are red and pouty from all the kissing we did last night, she was naked under the covers and I was tempted to remove them just to get a glimpse of her perfectly pert nipples but it was cold and I do

Lizzy The whole day after our little sex drive, I was tired as hell but it was a good kind of tired and the smile on my face never left even for a minute. Every memory from last night was carved in my brain with so much precision, it was like a DVD being played in HD quality and my stupid brain kept playing it over and over again making me blushed every half an hour, it was quite embarrassing really, ‘it was just sex Lizzy’ I remind myself, why does it affect me so much then? Of course, the sex was amazing, like I said it shouldn’t matter much, but it does and I don’t want to know the reason behind it because if I go there, then my doom is surely coming faster than I realized. I’m so cheery the whole day, it reminds me of the Lizzy I was before all shit went to hell, she was just like me, carefree and magnificent if Markus liked me now, he would have loved me then even more. Markus, that man can take your life out of your body in front of you

Markus“Sir, we have the launch party in two weeks, Saturday to be precise” said someone from my staff, I don’t know what I have to do with the launch party, I know it’s my app and all but it’s not like I have to clean the party after everyone leaves, so why tell me? I own the company, I know everything that goes on here, isn’t it obvious I’ll know about the launch party as well. These people get to my nerve, why can’t everyone be just like Lizzy? Straight forward and simple, no buttering their way up to get in my good graces, in short Lizzy was perfect.Yet for some reason my brain always kept me on high alert around her, she was perfect and that was the fault. A girl as beautiful and smart as her could woe any guy and that scared the crap out of me, I want to give her the best parts of myself but this little voice in my brain keeps warning me ‘don’t you understand you piece of shit!

LizzyI took a deep breath and recalled all the events from last night, how does sex with this guy gets better and better each time? And why can’t I resist him? I know answers to both of these questions and yet I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. After he came rushing to my shop yesterday, I couldn’t keep myself from melting in his arms and holding on to his warmth, he smelled like home and everything I’ve ever wanted.When he pulled me in for a kiss, my heart squeezed in my chest and it felt different this time, more intimate than all the sex we’d ever had, it felt like invisible strings pulling us together and keeping us attached, no matter how far we were. We went to my apartment yesterday, no particular reason other than the fact that it was closer but this time he didn’t ravage me like the day before, he was gentle, and sweet even, he made LOVE to me last night and that’s what took me off guard.

MarkusThat week went on to be the highlight of our relationship, every moment that we spent together took us closer to my end goal, ‘making her all mine’. Mostly, we’d end up sleeping at her place but when the time came, I asked her if she wanted to keep a few pair of clothes at my place and she replied “sure, why not” but I could see, she was happy with the prospect of moving in. I just had to take it slow and show her that I am capable of a long-term relationship, trust and L…not yet.The L word was practically begging to spill out of my mouth but I kept it shoved deep in my heart, how long have I known Elizabeth Cooper? Two months, that’s not long enough to make confessions about love. She needs more time and I’m sure it’s my dick speaking and not my heart.Something had shifted in our relationship in the last week, I couldn’t point out what exactly but I could feel it in our conve

LizzyIf someone asks me about the one time in my life that I truly enjoyed or lived the most? It would be this week and not all those years I spent in college learning about chocolates because even though it is my passion it doesn’t give me the sense of security that spending my time with Markus does. For once, I wasn’t scared to give Markus and me a chance, it could be a very spontaneous decision and it might back fire at any given time but what is life without a few risks anyway? It was a Saturday when I got to meet his brother and mind you, it was not a very good first impression and I think that memory will haunt me for the rest of my glorious life.The morning sun light peeked from the curtains and spread all across my face, this is annoying. I groaned and put out a single hand to see if Markus was still in bed, surprisingly he wasn’t. So, I dragged myself out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom to get rid of my crocodile

Markus“Mark, I don’t feel well, please take me to a hospital” Lizzy whines and I roll my eyes good naturedly, we are heading to my parents property for the Sunday dinner and she’s been saying the same thing since we got into the car, so much for being an independent, strong woman.“You know my parents aren’t thugs, right?” I ask with a wolfish grin and she groans, “not you too” she sighs “I’m just a little nervous, I haven’t done this thing before and I don’t know what to expect” she looks out from the passenger seat window. I grab her hand from her thigh and give it a squeeze, “they’re going to love you Lizzy, just like I do” oh fuck! ‘Please don’t notice it’ but of course she did, I held my breath waiting for the blow to come. But it never did.She didn’t mention it just took a deep breath and released it, “I gue

Lizzy While we make our way to the dining room, I spot and a few photo frames scattered around the table and stop to look at them. Markus looks over at me and places a hand at the small of my back, “is that you?” I ask, inspecting a picture of a naked baby with just a single diaper on. “Don’t I look dapper as always?” he wiggles his eyebrows and I laugh “you’re so full of yourself”. As I looked over all the pictures that were so beautifully laid out on the counter top I couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy at how amazing Markus’s childhood must have been. All of his pictures are of his family laughing together and enjoying their vacation, if only my mom was alive, I could have had it all. ‘But she’s not’ I tell myself, ‘get it together’ Markus rubs his hand on the small of my and softly says “hey!” I clear my throat before I start to cry and fake a laugh “you know, I’m kind of jealous seeing all these pictures” I say honestly “you’

MarkusThe following week is going to be a nightmare, with the launch party just a week away I don’t think leaving office is possible which means that much less time to spend with her. But it’s fine, we have all our lives to spend it with each other. Monday morning arrives and the whole office is in a frenzy, the venue, the guest, the freaking lights, everything needs to be finalized and who better than the CEO himself. I love the tech part; I really do but all this other shit gets to my nerves. I don’t leave the office that day, not until 2AM in the morning, and I can’t exactly go banging at her door at this hour. She is my escape from this technical world, something that keeps me sane and going. Now, it is just plain empty without her, I texted her earlier telling her that I was busy and couldn’t make it today. I don’t want her to feel abandoned or feel worthless as if I used her for sex, I need to get things straight wit

Markus Two years later “Come on Lizzy, listen to me for ones and sit your ass down” I all but yell at her, she has become an even bigger pain in the ass since we got the news of her pregnancy. She huffs and sits down on the couch in our penthouse “fine! But if it doesn’t taste exactly like nana’s, I will drag you to Hamptons with me right at this moment” she says from her place at the couch. She doesn’t know I already asked nana to send me the recipe months ago, “okay my sweet wife” I smile at her from behind the kitchen counter and start preparing her favorite egg and beacon sandwich. We got married a year ago, when I proposed I wasn’t sure how to go about it, Lizzy doesn’t value money as much as she values emotion and hence it was difficult to come up with something she’d appreciate. That’s when I first spoke to her ‘nana’, she helped me plan an intimate proposal on my private yacht, just the two of sun and

LizzyI have never been this happy for as long as I can remember, the four-letter word “LOVE” doesn’t scare me anymore, in fact it brings a sense of freedom now because I know that the man who captured my heart will never let anything or anyone break it. I know I’ll always be safe as long as I’m in his arms, I know I’ll always trust him more than I trust myself and I know I’ll always love him even if things might not work out in the future, which I think is highly doubtful.The night of the award ceremony, he drags me to his penthouse and makes love to me all night long until I have no energy to even lift my limbs. I groan when Markus lifts my limp body and mumble “where are you taking me?” I press my lips on his neck and kiss him lightly, he sucks in a breath before saying “you are making me hard baby” I giggle at that and rest my head on his chest. How could I ever live without this? T

MarkusI’ve been nominated from the most prestigious award ceremony of the year and I feel no thrill about it, I feel like an empty vessel just going on with life. I dress up like a mechanical doll, I pose for the reporters like a mechanical doll, I even clap like a mechanical doll! The host of the event notifies that it’s time to announce the winner in my category and for the first time in days, I feel something like excitement bubbling up in my veins, I brought my brother to sit with me as family and one of the chairs allotted to me is empty because I gave the invitation to Lizzy but obviously, she’s not here. I have tried to not think too much about her in the past few days but at this moment, one of the most important moments of my life, it pains me to think she isn’t here to share this with me.I compose myself as best as I can and straighten my posture even though from the inside I’m bursting like a fir

LizzyThat night, Mia called me asking if I was the one who gave Markus her number, I frown at that, of course I told Markus about Mia being my best friend but I never gave him Mia’s number. “He asked if you were with me” she says “why didn’t you tell him that you were at the Hamptons?” I tell her that I will explain all of it to her when I return, she also mentioned that Markus sounded worried on the call and that he was asking about my safety. My heart warms at the amount of concern he showed even though our fight on Saturday had left a lot of things unsaid. I don’t want him to go through more heartache than he’s already suffered so I send him a quick text.Lizzy: Mia informed me about your call, I need some time. Hope you understand.That is obviously a lie, I don’t need time, I have never been surer about anything in my life, but what I do need is a way to m

MarkusMiserable, that’s how I’ve been since the day I left Lizzy’s house, she hasn’t replied to my text messages and calls for the last two days, she’s not at her place nor is she at Golosi. I assigned a few men at both the places and there’s still no sign of her, this is all my fault I pushed her too far and now she’s gone, she left me. The only person I know from Lizzy’s former life is her best friend Mia, I contact my private investigator and ask him to get me the number of a certain ‘Mia James’ living in Las Vegas, by the end of the day I have three women fitting the description and their numbers.Since I don’t trust anyone with Lizzy, I call Mia myself she picks up on the second ring and says “Rick, this is last time I’m telling you, stop harassing me or I’ll have to contact the authorities and file a complaint” then she hangs up, my eyes widen and I scoff.

LizzyThe next morning, nana comes up to my room and opens the blinds, letting the scorching heat fall directly on my face, I groan “nana, I need sleep” I pull the sheets all the way over my head and try to sleep again. Nana pulls the sheets off me with superhuman power and says “what you need is homemade breakfast and fresh air” she starts to walk towards the door but stops abruptly and say “oh! And I am making egg and beacon” wait, did she say egg and beacon? “I am coming nana!” I squeal and go to brush my teeth.As soon as I step outside my room, I moan at the heavenly smell of the egg and beacon sandwich, I was five when nana first made that for me, my mother had just died and I was visiting nana. I didn’t speak to her at first but when she gave me her special egg and beacon sandwich, I couldn’t help but admire it. She hands me the sandwich and I take a big bite “this is so good&rdqu

LizzyI never understood why she loved Hamptons so much, sure the beach and the warm weather were nice but there were other places more developed, like take California for instance, for me Hamptons was a vacation destination but for her, it was her whole world. I rented a car for three days because I didn’t own one and started my journey to The Hamptons, after one bathroom break and a small lunch break, I made it to Hamptons around two and a half hour later. It was 3PM in the afternoon and I was worried to find her asleep, I’ll have to wait until she wakes up from her afternoon slumber.I parked my car in her driveway and made my way to the front door, the house wasn’t anything extravagant, it was a one-story bungalow in a L shaped layout, Christmas was the last time I visited her but I know she’d be happy to see me. I rang the bell ones and waited, after five minutes of waiting I lost hope and was about to get into the car when

LizzyI couldn’t sleep last night, I twisted and turned and thought, him leaving me wasn’t his fault but mine, it was all on me. It happened because I was too scared to face my own demons. I was a coward and that thought made me tired. To be honest I was tired of pretending to be okay, tired of showing people that I was strong enough when from the inside I was eroding. I needed to act on it before I became completely hollow, before everything that made me ‘ME’ vanished and all that was left behind was a shell of a person you couldn’t recognize. I needed to confide my fears in someone, someone who would understand why I did the things I did in my past, someone who wouldn’t judge me or look at me with pity in their eyes, someone like…. I jerked from my thoughts; I know who it is.Next morning, I was too tired to even open my eyes, so I did what I thought wasn’t possible in a million years, I took a day off

Lizzy“NEW YORK’S HOTEST TECH COUPLE SPOTTED TOGETHER” “ARE VERONICA AND MARKUS BACK INTO THE DATING GAME?” “BILLIONAIRE HEAD OVER HEELS FOR HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND”I read everything the reporters had to say but with each word, all I felt was numbness, I didn’t cry or curse myself for making poor life choices again, what’s the point when all is said and done? Empty, that’s how I felt as I stared out of my window at a distance, all my emotions had been sucked out of me with a single glance at those pictures. In one of them, Markus was whispering something in her ears, ‘probably telling her how much he loved her’ that thought left a bitter taste in my mouth, the next picture was of Veronica smiling sweetly at Markus and the last one was of him wrapping his arm a
