TEMPTING THE LONER SIX
* SIX MONTHS LATER * - ISOBEL - 'You're such a good girl.' The deep voice of the stranger rings in my head again. I try to shake it off. It's been months, yet, I can remember all of it like it happened yesterday. Every damn graphic experience. Every reaction. Every orgasm. Every word. I clear my throat as I parade the busy streets of the city, walking to the venue, a hotel. My friend, Nina, and I are supposed to dine together. She didn't tell me the occasion, but I sure as hell won't miss it! I sip out from the straw in my plastic cup, drinking boba tea. Correction, Nina is not just my friend, she's my only friend. My best friend. And the only one my aggressive step brother didn't chase away from me. I cover the side of my face with my hand and pass by a tattoo shop. It's a Friday night and people are everywhere, either getting wasted or occupied with one thing or the other. I throw my empty cup in a city bin. The hotel is just a few blocks away. I can't wait

- CAMERON - Depressed? No. More like adjusted to accompany the pain. They say time heals agony, I wonder if that will be the case for me. I'm sat at the back seat of my limo, heading to my hotel. It's been eight months since my father's passing. I've succeeded in avoiding every being in my life while pausing my own life with pubs and clubs on a daily. It was high time I did something about it. That's why I started my own business. Managing several hotels along with my father's businesses is no easy task, that I've come to know. At least tonight, I'll have my father's lawyer read his will and then I'd know which shares are mine and manage my time properly. As funny as it sounds, father loved us all and left his will for all of us. If only he showed us how much he did during his time alive... My fist clenches. If he did, maybe I would've done something to keep him alive. And if I couldn't, the pain would hit harder but maybe I wouldn't have the guilt of hating him the e

- ISOBEL - What is taking her so long? I'm starving. "Nina, get out of the bathroom!" I yell from the other side of the door. She locked the bathroom. I can't freaking go in and I don't know what she's doing. "Just a minute!" She yells from behind the door. "You said that thirty minutes ago. Who on earth goes late to their own event?" I ask annoyed, rolling my eyes. "Me apparently." Nina says. I groan. Nina hasn't told me what she's celebrating nor who the mysterious person I'd meet is and I'm going crazy here. I swallow. Especially when all my mind can think of is him. I want him. Crave him. It's been months yet he's painted my mind with his finger prints. Delicious fingerprints. What I'd give to feel his lips on mine again. A gasp leaves my lips. When I woke up the morning after, he was gone. There was no trace of him nor of us ever spending the night there. Not even the scent of whiskey. If my body didn't feel the way it did, I would've thought it was a

- CAMERON - Such an unforgettable speech. Nina is quite the character. If I wasn't so occupied with disturbing thoughts, I would've eased up more. Maybe even forced a smile. I groan. With my head like this, this evening won't turn out to have much of resting. I am in desperate need to retire. My whole body craves it. I need a drink. Something to clear my head. My eyes examine the hall, searching for the bar or any waiter serving refreshments. My gaze lands somewhere. More like someone. At the other end of the hall, a lady, dressed solely to kill and attract the eyes of viewers is standing by a champagne stand. I can't see her front view, but the striking figure her dinner dress reveals from behind is more than enough reason to approach her. "Wait here." I say to my body guards and walk across the room. The last thing I want are people clinging behind me to scare the lady away. It's been a while since someone could capture this loner's attention since I've been subje

- ISOBEL - I was glad Nina interrupted when she did because I was loosing my shit. I don't think I had any of it in the first place although I did my best to hold myself together. Nina still holds my arm and pulls me out of the hall. "Cain called." She blurt out. My body halts. I can feel my fear amidst the paralysis. "He wanted to know where you were." Nina continues. My throat feels dry. "What'd you say?" "With me. We went somewhere together and you'll be staying with me for the night." I sigh with relief. Nina is the only one who can stand up to him that he actually listens to and sometimes, I worry that she'll cut his last thread. I hope that day never happens. "I'd love that to be three weeks instead." I say to her. That can't happen and I know that. Three weeks will help me get over the sting on my back and have a sound mind. I want to say that out but didn't. Not today. "I'll switch off my phone. You should too. Cain is silly enough to track us." That'

- CAMERON - I've been going through these files and nothing adds up. I scoff, looking at the papers in front of me. The Lawyer was right. Everything is wrong here. How does someone vanish into thin air without a single trace? Who is this child of my father and why don't I know about his birth? Why can't I trace him? No matter how much I think about this, it doesn't make any sense. My eyes trace the documents before me and I groan. Doing paperwork is exhausting. And no, I don't know the child's gender and I won't refer to a human as 'it', so for now, I'm assuming this mystery person the pronoun; he. Till I find out myself, that's what I'll stick with. I sigh. The morning has only begun yet I'm this distressed. I might as well continue my days by sitting at a corner in my usual cafe while drinking coffee. All alone. There's still much preparation to be done regarding distributing father's properties amongst ourselves so I can't let this child's disappearance be my proble

- ISOBEL - Have you ever felt stuck? Trapped in your life and the only escape you have from reality are the thoughts in your head? That's where I am right now and the only thing I have going are the slutty thoughts running through my head. There are some benefits to being alone in one's room at night. My mind replays the scene of my night six months ago, only this time, it has someone else's face in my mind. A very familiar face. Cameron's. I gasp, leaning my head to the side as the audio plays in my ears. My vibrator is doing its work down there. "Good girl." The deep masculine voice from the audio plays and I'm suddenly reminded by that one line. 'You're such a good girl.' I bite my lower lip. This activity is aiding me to forget everything else and it's working perfectly. My mind is not thinking about Nina, nor what we talked about last night nor is it worried about Cain. Or is it? The fact that I'm able to remember their names proves that I haven't fully f

- CAMERON - He didn't have anything but bad news. I sigh, walking out of the inn. It's one at the outskirts of the city we live in. A good choice of place to meet while going undetected, but the news wasn't favourable. Just when I thought I was over my father's death... The Lawyer had other plans. I swallow, getting to my car. I pull the door leading to the driver's seat open and crash on the seat. My fingers hit the steering vigorously as I barely manage to make myself comfortable. My head is messed up. Every single thing I felt when I got the news that my father died months ago is resurfacing through my mind again and I feel like shit. Why did The Lawyer have to do this to me? Drain me back to zero? My eyes redden and my body falls forward to the steering. A scream morphs out my lips. I feel like I can't breathe. My head is clouded by what I saw and I can barely think properly. Another scream leaves my lips as I bang my hand on my dashboard continuously, trying to infli

TEMPTING THE LONER SIXTY THREE
- ISOBEL -It's odd.I open the large fridge and grab onto some chopped vegetables which I put into my trolley.Everything is odd.I keep walking down that same aisle and stop in front of the frozen fries section. My hands grab onto two bags of chips after pulling the refrigerator door open then I make my way to the other aisle for frozen food.I'm under no diet. I don't even exercise and how I have the body and weight that I do amazes me but I guess I'm glad one of those people who eat as much as they like regardless of the calories but never add weight.Or maybe I just was under a lot of stress and pressure and suffering that whenever I ate, my food went into those things, keeping me at the right amount of lean, it could be, who knows? I pull open the refrigerator door and take a bunch of minced meat and chicken thighs and wings.Being outdoors without a crippling fear of getting home late or home at all is an odd yet nice feeling. It's something I could get used to. It's something
TEMPTING THE LONER SIXTY TWO
- CAMERON -“It’s been confirmed. Your concern is true, Cameron. You have every reason to be cautious than usual.” The Lawyer says to me. I’m sat comfortably on a chair facing his desk in his private office hidden behind his private chambers, that being his room. My elbow leans in the arm of the chair and my fingers support my head leaning on it, while tapping gently on my forehead. I’m not surprised. That man was following me. I am highly relieved that it has nothing to do with Emily but this is certainly something to worry about. I can’t have someone on my tail when I am trying to ignore a life I was once deeply entangled to. One I dived back into the moment a dumbass in a club dared to lay his hands on Isobel. I let out a sigh.“Can he be killed?” I ask coolly. Apparently, killing someone is the fastest way to get rid of them, but if I execute this being without finding out who he is and who he works for, how sure would I be that the person he’s under won’t send more people after
TEMPTING THE LONER SIXTY ONE
- ISOBEL -"Come on, tell me! I'm dying to knoww!!" Nina urges, tugging at my arm. I kick her away with a careful push of my leg. "Ow." She mumbles as her body brushes backwards on her bed."Nothing happened, nothing much apparently." I say, leaning my jaw on my hand as I stare out the window. I love looking out the window wherever I'm at, especially from Nina's room. It reminds me of the life I wanted to live. Back then, all those years, it was all but a yearn, now, I remember I can actually live it and be free."Pfft! That's not possible. That's never going to happen. You're like a crazed, starving dog when horny. And you are ALWAYS horny, Isobel. Ever since we met."I spare Nina a side gaze at her words, looking at her all judgementally. Well, she's not wrong. I've just decided to take a more, what's the word?, calm approach to things instead of diving right at it. Cameron has taught me patience. I never thought I'd learn it this way in all my years of living but I guess one man ho
TEMPTING THE LONER SIXTY
- CAMERON - She walks out. I turn around, backing the door of my bathroom. “I didn’t mean to walk in like that. I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful.” I assure instantly, without daring to turn to look at her. I can feel her presence though. I know she’s staring at me. “It’s okay Cameron, I know. I trust you.” Her words make my breath hitch. She trusts me? She doesn’t even know me. I attempt to turn before it hit me. “Sorry.” I say. She might be naked. Again. A giggle leaves her lips. “It’s fine, Cameron, I have a towel around my chest.” Oh. Is she fine with me staring at her when she’s like that? “I’m going to turn around.” “Be my guest.” She hums. I steadily turn, taking my time on purpose. The moment I faced her, my gaze meets her playful smirk. I can tell it’s a taunt. My face flattens. “What? Scared to see a little tittie?” She tsks, rolling her eyes. I can’t believe for a second that I chose to be decent. I return her smirk with a half grin. “Be careful what
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY NINE
- ISOBEL - Geez. “Are you out?!” I call, raising my voice so it’s heard despite the shower water dropping down on the ground. I walk to the door of the cubicle and swipe my wet palm on a portion of the glass, taking a peak through the less condensed portion. From my view, the bathroom is empty. I walk back to the shower, pouring soap on my palm to wash. I carefully rinse my hands before continuing washing my whole body. I was startled, that’s all. I didn’t mean to scream. I crane my head up, letting the waters from the shower sprinklers hit my face. After holding my breath for quite a while, I let out an exhale. Inside here is steamy. The good kind though, just sometimes, with all this steam, breathing is difficult. I take a deep breath, inhaling slowly then steadily letting it out. The image of me covering myself the way I did when he walked in replays in my mind. Why did I do that? That man has touched my boobs before. He’s the one person I’d want to see me naked.
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY EIGHT
- CAMERON - I get up from bed. The first thing I look at the moment my eyes went open is my watch. Resting on my bed table was my silver, diamond coated watch before falling into my hands. My eyes are half close and I can’t deny the fatigue I feel at this very moment. What the fuck? Why do I feel so tired? My body hurts like a truck landed on me last night an there’s no hint as to why. A yawn leaves my lips as I drop my watch back on the bed table, turning to the other side on the bed. The time is eight-fifty four am. I should get ready for work. A groan leaves my lips. The only thing keeping me sane right now despite my shitty morning is the fact that I’m the CEO. I can arrive at work whenever I want and however I like and there would be no judgement. I bury my head in my pillow. I don’t want to stand. I don’t want to do anything today. The only thing I need right now is a cuddle between my bed and me. I’m not getting enough of it but I can’t delay starting my day any fur
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY SEVEN
- ISOBEL -It’s strange. The last dream I had when I slept in the dark was a nightmare. One where I had to see Cain a million times his size and hold the head of my best friend in a sea of blood. Her blood.Ever since then, sleeping has been terrifying for me but I had to indulge it in anyway to function properly. Yet, despite it, despite my anxiety towards sleeping, the one time, although not the best, when I know I didn’t worry or think about it was last night.It’s probably because I was knocked unconscious and can’t remember a thing, but the way my body felt afterwards despite the traumatic experience I had in the club spoke a lot of things. It let me know what I needed to know.I don’t know if it was the comfort of his soft bed or his doctor that did the trick but my body didn’t feel the weight of strong arms strangling me. Yes, I still felt like that crooked from the club was all over me when I woke but that was all there was of it. It was easy to get it off my mind. I’m not su
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY SIX
- CAMERON -I let out a sigh, staring at the documents before me. I can't fucking concentrate. I've been trying to but it's not just working. Every single time my head digests a word in one of these documents, the next word that pops into my head is her name. She's imprinted everywhere on my mind and I just can't seem to get her out of it. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!I puff air out my mouth, exhaling heavily. This is dangerous. With her being all over my head, it’s getting difficult to focus. I can’t risk this. I can’t allow this. I have so much to do that needs my immediate attention.Maybe my motivation shouldn’t be to get these things done. Maybe I should have a new motivation. Maybe, as cheesy as it may sound, my new mojo to keep me going should be; to be a better man for her, improving in every aspect.That would certainly scare her off if she knew but I guess this will work. I bury my head in my hand, playing with my pen in the other while keeping my eyes closed.This feels like a
TEMPTING THE LONER FIFTY FIVE
- ISOBEL - It’s all so confusing. One minute, he says things that leave my stomach churning with delight and butterflies then the next, he just makes me entirely mad. What is with him and this indecisiveness? He should choose a side. He should know what he wants and stick with it, I’d very much appreciate that. It’ll be way better than having to contend with myself on how I should actually respond to his words while being pathetic about it. I sigh, turning off the shower. I take the towel hanging on the towel hanger glued to the wall and wrap myself in it. But that body though. My mind gives me the graphic image of his body when he opened the door. It took everything in me to respond like a sane person rather than getting lost in how perfectly mesmerising he looks. He’s got the body worth sinking teeth into. A body built to withstand numerous back scratches by women it has laid with. My cheeks burn. I can hear my heart pound loudly in my chest. I don’t care how many he’s sl
