"Pass me the salad Christina." Hera overhead Martha's voice as she approached the dinner area with Bryce trailing behind her. She entered to see that they had prepared a grand feast for dinner. They've never really had a huge dinner such as this one before so she already knew that they went all out because of Bryce. They wanted to make a good first impression to her boss."You're here." Christina squealed happily. "Come and sit next to me Hera." She tapped an empty space next to her and after giving Bryce a brief glance, she walked towards the empty seat and lowered herself on it.Bryce felt conflicted. He was banking on sitting next to Hera for dinner and maybe for the rest of the night but he doesn't see that happening anytime soon. Hera was with her family and they'd probably want to spend more time with her since they haven't seen her in a long time. It would be selfish of him to try and get in between that and besides, it'll only be for a couple of days and Hera would be back wit
Hera was tight-lipped.She never expected Martha to ask her this question. She had always known that Martha had a sharp eye but still, what are the odds that she would figure something like this out in just the few hours that they had arrived here?And how on earth does she answer all these questions without spilling the truth. She wasn't the one who lies and she definitely cannot start now. She wasn't even good at it and Martha would fish out the truth even before she was able to make a complete sentence. Whatever she says would definitely have to bring out the truth somehow. This was her biggest fear in taking this trip back home and now, it's unfolding right in front of her very eyes.Her hands trembled and she felt cold shivers run up her body at Martha's intense stare. She was scared and every breath she shuddered was enough proof to that claim."Do you love him or not?" Martha repeated with the same intensity as before. "Is he just your boss or not?""Bryce is—" She stuttered, h
Bryce woke up to an empty bed. It took him seconds to realize that he had indeed slept on his own and that Hera had slept somewhere else. Has he gotten so used to her to the point that he could no longer sleep if she wasn't anywhere close to him? At home, his bedroom was only a few seconds away from each other but here, he doesn't even know which room she had slept in or how to locate her.He had stayed up all night in hopes that he could at least get a glimpse of her before going to sleep but he didn't. It was almost like she had disappeared into thin air right after dinner. He doesn't like this at all. Ever since they came here, he hasn't had the chance to talk or even spend time with her. Hopefully, they get everything done and dusted with so that they can both return back home together. He missed snuggling up on her lap and what's worse is that he missed having her all to himself.He wouldn't want to call this trip a bad one because Hera's family had welcomed him so warmly and sho
Bryce followed through the entire process of the Thanksgiving ceremony. Everything felt strange, surreal and extremely hard on him but he didn't want to give Hera a tough time with her family or make them question his friendship with her so he just had to go through it in silence, making sure to sulk it up as much as he could.Apart from going through the ceremony, It was also the very first time after his mother's death that he had decided to set his foot into a church. He had come to accept the fact that the more he hung around her, the more his walls were falling apart piece by piece.Although Hera was of the opinion that he didn't have to join her for service, he still wanted to do it. She knew how hard it must've been for him to go through it and she didn't want to subject him to any kind of pain for her sake but still, he was adamant on the matter. Hera was there with him the whole time.The priest had started off with a sermon on God and love and the more he listened to it, the
"Goodbye Hera and safe travels." Christina wished her sister with a tight bear hug. She was really going to miss her and it was quite evident. She did the same to Bryce as well while sat on his hunches patiently waiting for the reunion to be over."I'm going to miss both of you." She confessed sadly. Her eyes almost tearing up but she struggled not to. This wasn't like before when she had no hope of seeing them anymore. She did. Bryce had promised her and the sisters also agreed to it. It didn't take much convincing to get them on board with the plan.At first, she had thought that the sisters, especially Martha would disapprove but then they didn't. In Martha's own words, she even said that she wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Bryce had really made quite an impression on them so now, it was up to her to fulfill her own end of the bargain."We prepared something for the trip back home." Martha handed them a well packaged basket filled with fruits and other essentials. "It's not
"Yes Bryce, you can." She answered and that's all he needed to hear. That's all that he wanted to hear. He needed Hera too damn much that it's almost like a drug, a fever, an addiction. He should've known that one taste of her will never be enough to calm his raging desires for her. All through the weekend at the convent, he had thought of only one thing, HER. He wanted so badly to be with her, to sit beside her and lie down next to her if possible. It was like he would loose his mind the next minute if he didn't. He tried to curb his feelings but that was the most hardest task he had ever done in his entire life. Staying away from her. He knew just how much he had missed her. It was enough to make a man go insane. To ruin someone to the blank point of utter madness. He was a goner for this woman and it was painfully inevitable at this moment. He swallowed tightly, his eyes trailing her soft pink lips. Full, rosy and plump. So kissable and utterly suckable. "Hell..." He growled in
"Would you let me Cara?" He repeated with a gruff voice like someone who has been starved for a very long time but Hera remained silent. She didn't understand why he kept on asking her to go on. They had already come this far and if she didn't want him to go on, she would've stopped him a long time ago."I told you I want to savor you. Memorize you and brand you." He only uttered a soft but strained chuckle. "But i won't go further unless you tell me to."She kissed his forehead. "You can Bryce. You can go further. I'm not planning on stopping you." She encouraged."In this I will have my way. We'll just see how long you can hold out." Hera had since lost control over her body where he was concerned, and strangely, she didn't mourn the loss.He pressed his erection against her and she gasped. She rubbed her chest against his, urging him on. He moaned and bit into her collarbone. His hands were everywhere, all over her. Every so often he paused to simply look at her, or to whisper erot
Bryce was all smiles as he made his way over to work later in the day. He wanted nothing more than to stay indoors with Hera all through the day but sadly, he got an urgent call from his office concerning an important work that needed his attention.At first he didn't want to but Hera had forced him, pleaded with him to go ahead and handle it but he had promised to get back home as soon as he could. He was only here for formality sake and because he wanted to respect her wishes. She'd get upset with him if he didn't and for the life in him, he didn't want that. The last thing he wanted to do was getting on her bad side.Doris helped to set up everything he needed for the day's work and he couldn't wait to finish up on time so that he could go back home to Hera as quickly as possible."Would you like me to get you anything sir?" Doris had asked after setting up everything that he needed to continue.He waved her off. "No. You can go and don't let anyone in until i ask you too. I want t
