I can't be the only one who wants to punch, Zack! Haha, if you do too, please don't forget to leave me some gems and a review. Thank you so much to all those who have already done so and still doing it. It means a lot to me.
"Zack, I think you should leave now. I'll see you later." She pointed outside. With a passive spiteful glance Luca's way, Zack left, and Skylar closed the door. She turned to him and smiled as if nothing had happened. "Sorry about that."I KNOW SKYLAR, AND SHE'S NEVER SATISFIED WITH JUST ONE DICK FOR EVEN A WEEK.The words echoed in his head before he had enough time to block them out. He turned to Skylar. "Have you slept with him before?"She froze and then blinked. "Sorry?""I was just asking whether you've slept with him before. He seemed to know a lot." It was all he could do to appear nonchalant instead of incensed by the mere possibility of his assumption proving right.She stared at him for some seconds before shaking her head and walking towards the living room. "No. He's just the barman at one of the bars I liked to go to."Luca knew he should be cutting off the conversation. Instead he mused, "And he knows where you live?"Sighing, Skylar sunk into a fluffy couch, placing th
Driving through the courtyard of his house, Luca felt the ritualized excitement take hold of his belly, knowing she was inside there waiting for him. Spending the weekend in turns over at each other's houses was something they'd developed. He couldn't believe it'd been more than a month already since they began this thing, and to think he'd had so many misgivings in the beginning.Parking his car under the canopy by the wall, he grabbed the shopping bags containing the dresses he had bought for her and made for the main building. She was in the kitchen when he got there, standing before the electric stove as her right arm moved in rapid motion.The aroma of spices, vegetables, herbs and chicken wafted through the air, and he couldn't help but breathe it in together with her utterly unique scent. Obviously hearing the click of his shoes on the tiled floor, she slewed her head, a smile forming on her lips when she saw him. Oh God, that smile. "You're back. I'm almost done here." She
A cacophony of screeching metals and capricious, high pitched voices filled the air as parents yelled after their children who capered and laughed and frolicked among each other.Luca groaned as he turned to his girlfriend with a glare. "When did you become a ten year old, Skylar?" When he'd thought of a date with his new girlfriend, an amusement park wasn't exactly what he'd had in mind."Oh come on, Tarzan." Skylar looked at him, pouting petulantly as she tugged on his arm. "It's going to be so much fun." She batted her eyelashes, giving him an innocent look that made a wave of desire thrum through his veins."Okay, fine." There was no way he could refuse her anything when she was looking at him like that."Yes!" She squealed, jumping up and down and grinning excitedly. Amused, Luca shook his head at the childishness. "Look, there's cotton candy!"She hurried in the direction of a man selling pink vanilla cotton candies, pulling him along. "Hey Mister, can you please give us to two
After their fun time at the amusement park, Luca took Skylar for a dinner date to celebrate their new official status. A status which sent shivers of both fear and excitement through her. Apparently, they were dating now, and after years of steering clear of that concept, it almost sounded foreign and scary.And it was all the more dangerous when she thought of all the things the man made her feel that no man had ever made her feel.As soon as they entered the restaurant, Skylar glanced at the women patrons and realized she was underdressed. Luckily, both she and Luca were well dry after their water gun fight at the park.Even though Luca would still not admit it, Skylar knew he'd had fun too as they'd rode the roller coaster, the Ferris wheel, and played challenging games. In fact, he never said anything about wanting them to leave until it was almost time for their dinner date.A waiter led them to their table. It was situated in a corner, which was slightly private spot. Luca pull
The energy buzzing through the pub was extremely contagious. Skylar couldn't resist rocking her body to the loud music as she and Luca wove their way through the people standing at the lobby along the entryway. Normally, she would come here looking for some take-away sexual reprieve, but today, she just wanted to have fun with her boss, the man who she feared was slowly stealing her heart.Said man had his arm wrapped possessively around her waist. Skylar couldn't blame him. Some men were gazing at her as if she was one of those canned, ready to eat foods preserved with a touch of potassium. Skylar grinned when her eyes spotted a group of teenagers dancing and drinking beer like there was no tomorrow, recalling her own high school days. She and her friends always managed to outwit very suspicious bouncers with their fake IDs. It'd always been so much fun."This is such a bad idea." Luca groaned against her ear. He'd been complaining that he'd never been the pub kind of guy and that
Luca watched, a tortured smile on his face as Skylar got off his laps and scurried towards the dancefloor, only to be waylaid by a tall, muscular, good looking guy. Holding her arm, he said something with a smug smile that made Luca's own smile begin to disappear. Furrowing his brows, he watched them with narrowed eyes.Skylar said something, and the guy gave a short laughter before continuing to speak, stepping even closer to her. Luca clenched his fists and willed himself to calm down, to not react too quickly. This was something that happened a lot in clubs and bars, and the guy would back off after Skylar told him she was taken.And yet he watched as Skylar tried to free her hand but the guy refused to let go, pulling her snugly against his body. Something snapped inside Luca, and he bounced off in their direction with every intention of putting the guy in his place.Skylar managed to make him let go just when Luca got to where they were. Glaring boldly at Casanova, he put a poss
Luca stared hard at his cup of coffee, willing the alluring scent of the content to lure him into taking a sip while trying to avoid the intense, scrutinizing gaze of his friend. But soon, the rather unnerving action of his company had him looking up. Having had enough, he bestowed his friend with a scowl. "What?" He demanded. He didn't quite appreciate Caleb's penchant for amplifying his turmoil. They were at a cafe having breakfast to prepare for work. "So you actually let her go without following her?" Confusion marred Caleb's forehead. "Luca, you actually let go of your last night's chance to get laid because of your stupid anger?""Fucking and getting fucked. Is that all you ever fucking think about, Caleb?"The woman at the table next to theirs whipped her head to Luca's direction, a grimace encompassing her features. Luca quirked a brow at her sudden burst of disdain, confused, until his eyes fell on the boy who sat beside her, looking to be about six years old. Quickly mo
Skylar was still bristling with resentment the next day at the memory of the experience she'd had with Luca the night before. An experience which had shown her just how much he didn't trust her. How could he have said all those things to her, judged her when he'd known right upfront about her past sex life and said he accepted it?"Skylar. . . Skylar, are you paying attention?" The deep, mature voice of a middle aged man seemed to float from the distance, and it was a nudge on her shoulder that brought her back to the present.Blinking, she looked up at the man who stood beside her chair in her office. "Gregory, is there a problem?"Gregory, the general manager of the marketing department and a share holder in the company regarded her speculatively before pointing to the file they were reviewing on her desk. "You were not paying attention.""No I was, Gregory." Skylar lied, denying his claim. "You said we needed to find a balance between the cost and the profit and out list the reason
Hey guys,This has been a long journey of a little over three months, and I know that reading this story must've been a bit frustrating because of my unscheduled updates where you never know when to expect the next chapter in a day. But y'all stuck with me, and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you so much for the patience.There were times I wanted to give up because writing was so stressful but all your comments kept me on my toes, along with all those beautiful gems you gifted me. They're truly appreciated.A few of you might not agree with some directions I decided to take, but I realize I can't satisfy everyone. I do believe in second chances as long as the other person is remorseful and willing to change. And I tried to be as realistic about the whole thing as possible.That being said, this is my first story on here, and I'm not perfect. There's always room for improvement for my future books, so do let me know; Where did I lack? What could I have done better? Were there issues yo
The first clue read: YES! YES! I KNOW THAT YOU'RE A DAY OLD, SO LOOK FOR THE FIRST TREASURE WHERE THINGS GET COLD.So Skylar did remember. Grinning like an idiot, Luca figured the first one out easily. It was obviously the fridge. But they had two. One in the kitchen and another at the corner of the wall near the dining table. He took a chance on the one near the dining area, and he was right.His first treasure was there, a somewhat rectangular gift wrapped up so that he couldn't see what it was. Attached to it was the second clue.It read: A MAJESTIC THRONE THAT NO ONE WANTS, YET WE ALL HAVE TO RULE OVER EVERY OTHER DAY.His brows drew together. A throne? Since he was standing around the dining table, his eyes went straight to the chairs there first. But the clue said no one wants it, so it definitely couldn't be those chairs. It took him five minutes of running all around the ground floor before he finally figured it out. When he did, he burst out laughing. What the heck? So the t
ONE YEAR LATERLuca was pissed.The day hadn't gone exactly how he'd envisioned it, and he'd been complaining the whole evening. The unfortunate listeners of his lashing out were Caleb and Abhishek.“How could she just forget?” He grouched. “Everyone remembered. My mum, Ella... Heck, even you guys remembered. And she forgets?”“Uh, with all due respect, your highness, your mother gave birth to you. She's the most inclined to remember when it's your birthday.” Abhishek had the very salient idea of mocking him, becoming the recipient of Luca's very unhappy glare.Caleb wasn't fazed though. “Dude, why are you making this a big deal? I'm sure Skylar had stuff on her mind and things to do, and she must've forgotten. Just remind her when you get home. No big deal.”Luca transferred his glare to the other man. “No big deal? It's not like we're 60 or something. We've just been living together for a year! How the hell does she forget my birthday? She didn't have to remind me when it was her bir
Licking her tongue down his neck, Skylar groaned along with him as she stroked his hard-as-granite dick. God, she loved how his dick felt in her hand. So warm and meaty and hard and just so damn good. She found herself salivating, her mouth's wish to get reacquainted with his delicious member.Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees, sliding his pants and boxers down to the middle of her thighs. His erection bounced out, the huge member bumping against her face Grabbing it, she licked him from the base up to the tip, reveling when he let out a sharp sound of pleasure."Fuck, Vanilla." He groaned. "Open that mouth of yours. Just like that."Taking the tip in, she swirled her tongue around it for a bit before taking him further. Just like she remembered, she could only get half of him in without gagging, but almost four years of not doing this didn't mean she'd forgotten how to work within her limits.She had Luca groaning and gasping for air as she bobbed her head up and down, let
Once Alex left, Luca refused to talk about anything having to do with him. He claimed he wasn't upset, but his actions afterwards proved contrary.He drove her to her house so that she could get dressed for work, but he barely said a word to her.Laura was horrified when Skylar told her about what Alex did, but the nanny ended up also concluding that Alex definitely didn't have bad intentions. That only seemed to tick Luca off some more.He drove to the company in brooding silence and didn't even give her a goodbye kiss when he parted to go check out some issues with Brandon Wood, the new branch CEO.Then again, Skylar was definitely not prepared for any PDA that would blow up the secretaries' group chat with gossip. She knew most of the people in the company thought she climbed up too quickly and had always linked it to her having an affair with Hector Lancaster. She didn't want them seeing her with Luca and making all sort of bullshit up to suit that narrative again. Luca didn't say
Alex caught the swaying of Nicole's body before she let go, so he had enough time to react and catch her in his arms."Hey. Nicole? Nicole?" He called out softly, realizing she'd passed out.Lowering her onto the couch, he held her cheek in his hand and tried to shake her gently, but she didn't react in any way.Panic shooting through him, he gathered her into his arms, ready to take her to the hospital. He didn't know what was wrong with her, but he wasn't about to take the chance of waiting for her to wake up first.Getting out of the apartment, he was just heading towards the elevator when she finally stirred in his arms."Nicole, you're awake. Thank God!" He said but he didn't stop the journey to the elevator."Alex, where are you taking me?" Nicole groaned."To the hospital.""I'm conscious now. I don't want to go to the hospital." She said and began squirming in his arms just when they got to the elevator, wordlessly demanding to be placed down.Alex obliged and placed her on her
Chewing on a bowl of popcorn, Nicole sat on her couch, fast-forwarding through scenes of the K-drama she was watching on her TV. There was only so much of the goofy, cute banter she could enjoy before she got tired of the lack of story progression.Just when she got to a scene that looked to be exciting enough, her doorbell rang. Pausing the film, she set her bowl of popcorn aside and went to get the door.Her heart nearly leapt out of her chest when she opened the door to find Alex. Partly because she hadn't expected him and secondly because his face looked like a mess. He had a black eye, other bruises, and stitches marring his face."Hey, Nicole." He flashed her smile and winced like it hurt him to do that."Alex, what happened to you?!" She exclaimed, scanning his face in horror."Uh, I got beat up?" He chuckled a bit, obviously trying to deflect the gravity of the situation with humour."I can see that!" She said, "But who did that to you?""Can I come in first?""Of course, of c
The muffled sounds of a screaming match yanked Skylar out of her deep sleep. Groaning, she snapped her eyes open and tried to focus on the altercation. She couldn't hear much, so she slipped out of bed and approached the door, the voices getting clearer the closer she got."You have some fucking nerve showing your face here, you imbecile!" That was Luca, and he sounded very angry.The sudden sound of screeching couches and painful groans snapped Skylar into action. Realizing she was just in her underwear, she quickly grabbed the dress she remembered wearing yesterday which had been thrown on the bedroom sofa and slipped it on. Opening the door, she rushed out of the bedroom and came to a startled stop at what was going on.Luca was beating the hell out of Alex who was lying helplessly on the couch. His body was vibrating with aggression, and he seemed to be channeling that aggression into every punch. Alex's face already looked like a bloody mess, yet his blows were so heavy that she
Before the tentacles of doubts could bury its roots inside his mind, Luca held himself firm and shook his head, slicing through it until it was completely dead.No, he refused to believe it. He refused to believe that Skylar had done this to him. It just couldn't be.She loved him. Over the weekend, she'd shown him that with so much passion he'd felt it within his soul. There had been nothing like uncertainty about her love.Besides, during their fight regarding his marriage proposal, she'd told him that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him too. She wouldn't have never said anything like that if she didn't mean it.And he believed her. He wasn't going to make the mistake of jumping to conclusions again. He'd been there before, and where had that landed him? In hell, for four fucking years. There was no way he wanted to go back there.There had to be some plausible explanation as to why she was in Alex William's house sleeping in his arms in that state. An explanation that
