The interior looked like something out of a movie and Mara was taken aback at how grand it looked. Her grip on Lucien’s arm increased and this drew his attention to her as his eyebrow raised“Are you okay?” He asked her“I guess, I wasn’t expecting so many people” she told him as he was signaled by the gallery owner“Me neither but who knew the people of New York liked art”They walked over to where the man stood with a woman, Mara guessed was his wife. She had that look of sophistication and boredom about her, like she had seen this all before and only wanted it to be over“Lucien Rodrigues, I am glad you could make it and this must be your fiancée and fashion goddess; Mara Sinclair. This is my wife, Lauretta and she is a huge fan of your designs.” The man said.“It is an honor to be here” Mara told him as she shook the hand he held out. She turned to the wife who now wore her best hostess face although it was clear how much of a fan she was of the brand“I cannot wait to see the stu
All drawings made by the artists were put on display but still veiled as they awaited the major sponsors of the events. Mara and Lucien were led to one of the VIP tables with one of the girls smiling stupidly at Lucien. Mara scoffed before taking her seat, she hoped this was not going to be the case every time she went out with Lucien.“Mine is the last one on the right” Lucien whispered to her, oblivious to the stares he was receiving from various women around the room. She was pretty sure he was used to the attention, besides he was a billionaire and also a very handsome man.“I cannot wait to see it” Mara told him, a smile coating her lips.She hated to admit but he was an absolutely great artist; it had to be the way he brought his paintings to life, she had seen one he had gifted Elizabeth and she had been in awe at how perfectly he had been able to capture the sunrise.A noise interrupted her thoughts and then they had to rise for the dignitaries. Lucien stood but maintained the
“Alexander” Lucien nodded towards the approaching man. He was doing all he could to not snap and plant his fist in the smirking face and he could hardly tell if this was as a result of him buying Mara’s painting.“How much more money do I have to offer for you to sell the painting to me” he asked again coming to face Lucien.Lucien was some inches taller than he was so it was almost comical having to look down at the man“The painting is not for sale” Lucien enunciated.From his side eye, he could see the gallery owner fidgeting whilst glancing from one billionaire to the other“Bold of you to assume that I need more money, Alexander. You seem to have forgotten whom you speak to.”“Ahh, far be it for me to forget a Rodrigues but everything has a price although I am yet to figure yours.”Lucien smiled like he found what Alexander had said amusing before he turned, totally dismissing the mafia boss“Wrap the painting, I shall pick it up on my way out and do be careful with it, I would n
The letters in front of Alexander’s eyes burned brighter until they were unintelligible, he stared at the smiling face of Lucien Rodrigues and the also smiling face of the woman of his dreams; Mara Sinclair as the words burned even brighterBILLIONAIRE TO WED FASHION GODDESS… REPORTEDLY ENGAGEDLaughter bubbled inside his throat as white hot heat raced down his spine, they had put the best picture for last because on the next page was a close up picture of them kissing outside the art gallery yesterday for the world to see. He had her in a passionate grip while her arms were around his neck and he could all but envision how Mara must taste as Lucien ravished her. How could she not see that he would be able to give her so much more than the Rodrigues could ever.Alexander slammed the newspaper on his table and began drumming his hand together, he was waiting for the boys he had sent to the gallery as soon as he left and he could only smile at what hell they must have wrecked up. It was
Alexander was not expecting Mara’s phone call and so you must imagine how utterly surprised he was when he saw her name etched vividly on the callers ID“Mara” He drawled as he picked up“Alexander, I hope I am not intruding on anything but we still have to meet to discuss the materials seeing as your father is still absent” she told him“Of course, I shall meet you at your office” He told her“There is no need; we can have that dinner you wanted on your yacht, I am told that is where you are right now?”“That will be a splendid idea, I shall send a car over for you” Alexander told her.She muttered something and hung up.She wanted to have dinner? Strange, Alexander thought as he continued holding the phone with his eyes staring at the painting of her. He had to admit that Lucien was a good artist, he had gotten the emotion filtering through her face at the moment and it was almost like he had seen her smile himself.The police had come to question him concerning the missing painting
Alexander watched her with his heart pounding furiously in his chest; this was one woman whom he desperately wanted naked. He could imagine her crawling up his body while he spanked that incredibly rounded buttocks. In Italy where he had come from he was so sort after by those of the opposite gender that he fucked without even feeling; he only wanted control and they were more than eager to give that to him with their mouth working his dick like they were born with a mouth full of cock and when he slapped them around, they moaned in ecstasy like they enjoyed it just so he could make one of them his mistress. He never fucked any girl twice and he always had a long line of women waiting to gorge themselves on his cock. Why then was Mara different and why did she not find him attractive, he was like a dog waiting for the faintest of smiles from its master with her and it was infuriating but also thrilling.She was the jolt he had been waiting a long time to feel and he was thoroughly enj
Lucien was out of his mind with worry; his conversation with Mara about her decision to have dinner with Alexander Russo on his yacht was the last he had heard from her.Her location was not only off but her phone was also switched off, he had tried to call when she had not gotten back to him on any progress. He did not think it was time yet to contact the police on her disappearance but he was already on the phone with his brother Jason and his wife Elizabeth.“I am sure Mara is fine” Elizabeth told him, she was pregnant and he had not wanted her to hear about it but they were friends and he could hardly hide anything from Elizabeth“Her phone is off” Lucien breathed“It probably died and she is unaware, we can only start panicking if by tomorrow we still haven’t heard a word from her and I do not think that Alexander is stupid enough to do anything to her with how popular he is; he might be dangerous but he is definitely nor stupid” Elizabeth told himHe wished he had her confidence
She and Lucien had had sex before; in fact twice, if you count the time he dragged her out of his brother’s club and straight to his apartment where he fucked her thoroughly that she saw stars all through the day but each time with him always felt like the first time. She wasn’t a girl to be so enamored by sexual intercourse but he had a way about him and he was messing with her mind at the moment.Lucien raised his hand to trail the features of Mara’s neck before they curled around it, choking her. Her eyes fluttered closed as her lips parted, taking slow breaths while his other hand continued their exploration of her body, stopping briefly to palm her perked up nipples.“Lucien, I need you” Mara pleaded, her lips quivering“Not yet” Lucien growled as his fingers flick over her clit once and then twice till he was going in circular motions and pinching them slightly.His hand around her neck loosens as he drives them up her face and one finger into her mouth; Mara sucked on the finge
