"Hmmmm" Roxanne's eyes cracked open, and she was met with a piercing light that felt like a thousand knives stabbing her brain. She winced, her head throbbing. It felt like someone had hit her with a club. She lay still, her mind hazy, trying to remember the events of the previous night. As memories began to swim, her eyes widened in horror.

She remembered the movie, drinks, the laughter, and the reckless abandon with which she had spoken her mind. Her hands flew to her mouth, as if to contain the words that had already escaped. Her face contorted in regret, she groaned, "No, no, no..."

With a hesitant movement, she sat up, her head spinning.

"Agh! Shit!" She cursed as she held her head. It felt her head was about to fall off.

The room seemed to tilt, and she braced herself against the bedframe. Her mouth felt dry, her tongue tasted bitter. She swallowed hard, the motion sending a fresh wave of pain through her skull.

Roxanne's eyes scanned the room, as if searching for an escape

    Loo stepped into the bar, the door creaking softly behind her. The bar was dimly lit. She slid off her sunglasses, her eyes taking a moment to adjust to the soft glow. As she scanned the room, her eyes swept past the few customers, with their half finished drinks, their faces lit only by the faint glow of their phones.She wasn't here for the drinks or to stare at the phone obsessed customers, her eyes searched frantically for one person.Her eyes finally landed on a figure in the corner, his features illuminated by a warm, golden light that seemed to spotlight him just for her. A smile played on her lips as she found Sentinel sipping from his beer. Her curves sashayed ahead of her, moving with sensual caution with each step. She commanded grace and attention as she walked past. Her scent, a heavy mix of Vanilla and cinnamon filled the air, as if to announce her presence. "Sentinel!" She sat opposite him. Sentinel took off his shades and his eyes trailed her curvaceous body. "Good

    Jaxon had Loo get off his lap. She sat beside him but her body resting on him just to show Merida that they were a thing. This made Jaxon boil inside but kept his calm."So, what are you doing here, nerd?" Loo asks her voice, rather sarcastic. "I don't think she's a nerd anymore, Loo. She's not the skinny looking undergrad with funny hair and braces." Jaxon said with a laugh. " Oh stop! " Merida also laughed. " Are they flirting with each other right now?" Loo asked herself. She but her lip. " Well, I'm a business consultant now." Merida stated. "Ooh, how fancy! I thought you'd be married to that smelly boyfriend of yours and move to some farm, have kids and knit away your time." Loo laughed. She saw the slight shift in Merida's face. She knew she had hit a nerve. "Loo! Don't be mean!" Jaxon chided. "What? Her boyfriend was smelly and they did have a farmhouse dream. " Loo said. " Why is Loo being so insensitive right now? " Jaxon asked himself. " He's not smelly, and, I did

    "oh yeah yes yes yes yes!" Merida moaned as she rode Jordan. Her breasts jumping as she rides him to ecstasy. "Merida, I'm gonna cum. Get off! I don't want to cum inside." Jordan was panting." Don't worry! I've got you!" Merida got off him and began to suck on him. "Shoot me with your load." With a groan Jordan cums all over Merida's face. She laps it all up. "Damn! Mama, you're a real rider!" Jordan complimented. " And you are sexy! " Merida got off the bed to head to the shower. Jordan's eyes hungrily followed her. "Wanna share the shower with me?" She asks him. Jordan gave her a smile and he follows her into the bathroom. ____________________________Roxanne was dancing and cleaning her living room, her cleaning supplies scattered around her .

    Merida's fragile form lay still on the hospital bed, her head swathed in layers of gauze. Her breathing was being stabilized by an oxygen mask. Her monitor beeped, a sign that she was still alive. An IV pole stood beside her, its tubes snaking into her arm, delivering a steady dose of medication to ease her pain.The hospital room was a blur of soft pastels and antiseptic smells, the only sound the soft hum and beeping of machinery and the occasional rustle of scrubs as nurses moved with quiet efficiency. Merida's chest rose and fell in a slow, steady rhythm, her eyes closed as if lost in a deep slumber. "I can't believe someone would do this to my daughter." A lady sobbed. She had sprinkles of grey hair in her brown hair. She looked like an older version of Merida. There was another lady with her, younger but with silky black hair. "It's alright, Mrs Corpus. Merida is alive, we should be thankful for that, and the police are already investigating this. I am pretty sure it's that e

Two officers soon joined him, it was the officer from earlier."Good evening, Mr. Cole, I am detective Morrison, I believe we've met earlier." The detective shook his hands. " This is detective Meyer. " He introduced the female officer that had come in with him. " Mr. Cole, there's no need to panic, we'll just ask a few questions and you'll be on your way. " Detective Meyer spoke. " Just cooperate with us." Morrison added. "How long have you known Miss Corpus?" Detective Meyer began. "A week." Jordan replied. The officer jot down something. "And how did you two meet?" Morrison asked. " She... Uh... Came to the club, Club D'lux where I work. She's a friend of my boss, Mr. Hearst. He had invited her over and I was the one who showed her the VIP section and also drove her to her hotel that night since she was drunk." Jordan explained. " Hm

    Roxanne decided to wear one of the gowns they had gotten in Greece since it wasn't a fancy fancy dinner, just dinner at his place. It was a leather gown. It hugged her figure perfectly and its neckline was heart shaped, revealing a little cleavage. She finished it up with a thigh high boot. Her make up wasn't that loud, just powder, lip gloss and eyeliner. She let down her blonde hair and it fell down to her back like a waterfall. Jaxon waited patiently, adjusting and readjusting the dinner table. He didn't know why he was nervous, it was just Roxanne, the pole dancer. Still, he was nervous. He was wearing grey joggers and a vintage shirt. The shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his chest. He ran his hand through his hair as he looked at the dinner spread of fried chicken, grilled vegetables, and baked potatoes. A tall bottle of expensive red wine stood beside the large ice cream cake. "Jaxon!" Mrs Anderson called out. "Mrs Anderson, thank you very much for this. I can't certainly than

    Roxanne's hands and legs were tied firmly to the bed posts. On her face, a black tie served as a blindfold. She squirmed as Jaxon used his tongue and a vibrator on her. "Easy with the movements, Princess." He chuckled and kept going." I can't take this anymore, Master. This is pure torture." Roxanne breathed. "Oh I'm just getting started, princess, patience, patience!" Jaxon buries his face again and circled the vibrator around her clit. Roxanne tried to close her legs together.Smack!His palms smacked her thighs. "Agh!" She cried out. "Do not let me use the bars, honey, stay still and I'll untie you in no time."" Yes, Master." Jaxon slid his finger into her, massaging her walls. " Oh so wet! Listen to how you sound." He said. "Uhmmm!" Roxanne kept moaning as his finger thrusts in and out of her. The vibrator was still on her clit. Jaxon reached deeper with two of his fingers. Roxanne gasped. " F**k! Master! Oh shit!" She cursed. His finger massaged her G-spot in a circular

    "I knew someone else was in that house. The old hag wouldn't let me go to his room. She's in on this too! " Loo yelled as she paced back and forth in Sentinel's living room. The veins around her neck were popping out as she complained and cursed. Her forehead glistened with sweat even with the whole place fully air-conditioned. "You need to calm down, Loo. You're taking this too far." Sentinel said. "Stop saying that! You're not the one whose man is about to be stolen, are you? " " Sometimes I wonder if this man of yours is really yours. He doesn't seem to know he belongs to you. You're blinded by your obsession with him. You're plainly obsessed!"Loo shot him glares. If looks could kill, Sentinel would have a hundred daggers in his chest by now. "I love him!" She snapped. "And is he aware that you do? Or you just think in your head that he does too and because you are fucking him, he belongs to you? " Loo rushed at him. She wanted to slap him but her hand just stayed up in the

I'll be more careful from now on."The doctor's expression turned serious. "Roxanne, you shouldn't eat things you don't know their full contents, not unless you make them yourself. And I really don't want to see you anytime soon. Try to bring your blood pressure down too."Freddy, holding Roxanne's hand, spoke up. "Don't worry, doctor. I'll make sure she rests and takes all her medications."Jaxon walked quietly behind the group, his eyes fixed on Roxanne. "Thank you for everything, doctor," he said, his voice low.As they reached the parking lot, Roxanne hesitated beside Jaxon's car. "Freddy, maybe we should take a cab," she suggested, her eyes avoiding Jaxon's.But Cynthia, anticipating this, smiled brightly.

    Jordan dressed up in Merida's hotel room, his eyes fixed on her as she lay on the bed, a blanket covering her body. Merida's eyes also roamed his body, a flush coming on her cheeks. Jordan chuckled and winked at her. He asked, "What business brought you here, Merida?"Merida's voice was soft. "I have a client here who requested a face-to-face meeting. He's willing to pay a huge sum for our consultancy services, so I couldn't pass it up. Plus, it's an excuse to see you. I've missed you."Jordan smiled, his eyes sparkling at the corners, and his dimples flashing at her. "I've missed you too."Merida continued, "I was thinking... maybe we could get to know each other better?"Jordan's response was reassuring. "That's not an issue, Merida.

Please don't be angry with me for doing this rather slowly."Jordan's expression was understanding. "I know you're coming from a bad relatio

"What happened?"Roxanne's mind was foggy, but she tried to remember. "I...I don't know," she stammered. "I was in an elevator...and...and... That's all I remember." She added. Her aunt filled in the blanks. "Jaxon brought you here and called me. The doctor said you suffered from heatstroke and your blood pressure was a bit high. But don't worry, you'll be discharged soon."Roxanne sat up, her aunt helping her adjust the pillows. Just then, a knock on the door interrupted them.

Cynthia, on the other hand, was unphased. "If she's tongue-tied, allow me to help her out," she said with a small laugh.Loo's eyes flashed with anger, but she still didn't speak.

"What? Loo, is this true?" he demanded.Loo opened her mouth to speak, but Cynthia cut her off. "Just last night, she set me up with one of your girls, Chloe. God, I really liked that girl. She tasked her to record us as we had sex."" Loo! Is this true?" His voice is stern. He tries keeping his voice low so as not to get eyes on them. "But she was a snub and...and..." Loo stuttered.
