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
Luca's expert fingers found Skylar's already hardened nipples through the material of her blouse. The feel of his fingers rolling her nipples and the graze of the cotton material of her blouse against her sensitive bud had her rocking her chest against his hand frantically.Skylar mourned when his right hand left her breast and descended down her stomach. She'd worn a skirt which pulled up to her naval with her white blouse tucked beyond the fringes.His fingers travelled past the waistband of the skirt and past the waistband of her panties. A blunt finger slipped into her weeping sex..He moaned at the same time a breathless gasp spilled from her lips, as if her pleasure was equivalent to his. "Goodness, you're so wet for me. I love that." He added a second finger, and she could barely hold back her cry."Please..."At her plea, she felt herself being spun around and pushed onto her table back flat. A sexy, contented smile played on his lips as he gazed down at her. "You shouldn't get
Crap! What the hell was Cornelia doing here today of all days? Could she have a worse timing?Knowing very well she hadn't mistaken that voice, Skylar turned and plastered a semi-genuine smile on her face. ‘Semi’ because at that moment, she'd rather be flat on her back on Luca's desk while said man plowed her senses out of her, thank you very much."Cornelia!""Skylar! I thought I was going to see you later, but I'm so glad you're here!" She pulled Skylar into a warm hug. "You just keep getting beautiful, dear. That hairstyle suits you very well. Did you come here to see Luca?""Yes." Skylar nodded when they pulled out of the hug. Thank God she wasn't wearing her batch. At least that much was true. "You didn't say anything about travelling here when we talked three days ago.""Ah, what can I say?" A radiant smile brightened Cornelia's face, complementing her flowery designed dress and her hair swept to one side of her neck. "I just wanted to surprise my son and you. Pleasant surprise,
Skylar looked at Cornelia, feeling the desire riding her hard. She didn't think the woman would appreciate her leaving her alone, but she felt a sliver of hope when she noticed the woman's eyes closed, her head drooping a bit before snapping back up as she dozed. God, let her decide to go to sleep.Cornelia blinked, trying to stifle a yawn as she turned to Skylar. "Dear, you still aren't ready to call it a night, are you?"Not knowing how to answer because she wasn't sure how Cornelia would react, Skylar settled for a neutral reply. "Not really. ""Good, because I'm not ready to sleep either. Could you please make me a cup of coffee? Helps to keep me up when I need it."What?! It was all Skylar could do to keep the horror from her face. Lord, did the woman come here purposely to pussyblock her?"Of course I will make it." Forcing a smile, Skylar stood up and made her way to the kitchen clumsily. Walking was torture when the friction between her thighs just kept growing.In the kitch
A sense of panic gripped her. There was no way she wanted Cornelia to.catcy them having sex. However, all her panic was instantly dampened by his electrifying thrusts. "Luca..." She managed hoarsely, moaned when he pulled out to his tip and shoved himself right back in, and she nearly forget her suspicion. "Luca, your mum. I-I t-think, oh God. Your mum is coming here.""No one is coming here, Vanilla. Besides, I'm so fucking close. Just a minute more." His thrusts grew more frenzied, coming hard, fast and deep as he begun muttering dirty things. How all he'd thought of the whole day was fucking her, how he loved being inside her, how her pussy was the best in the whole world.Skylar groaned, let herself forget her resistance as she gave in to her building high. Levering her stomach a bit off the tiled counter, she bucked her hips fervently, meeting him halfway when thrust into her. "God I'm close.""Me too baby." His hands travelled to her clit, and he begun rubbing and pulling and pi
Luca woke up with a groan, every one of his muscles aching and throbbing and complaining after the strains he'd exerted on them last night. A smile curled up his lips as he recalled the embarrassing hour he'd spent in just his boxers, scrubbing away at the counter and on the kitchen floor while his very sexy girlfriend recorded him without once lending a helping hand.He looked at the woman in his arms with amusement, recalling her hot and flushed face when his mother had busted in on them right when she'd been riding her orgasm. She'd looked even more hot, and it'd made his dick even harder despite his mother's presence. Even now, her face was still flushed from the orgasm he'd given her just before they'd gone to sleep.But damn, he was going to need a message soon, he realized as a muscle in his thigh throbbed when he moved the mound.A phone dinged with a notification on the bedstand beside his side of the bed. Stretching his neck and wincing at the effort, he realized it was Sky
After washing and towelling each other dry, they helped each other dress up; him in a designer grey suit, and her in a long sleeved white blouse topped on a flared red skirt that he swore no woman could pull off and look as damn sexy as she looked.Sensing her fear as they climbed down the stairs, Luca assured her his mother's opinion of her hadn't changed despite how appalled she'd sounded the night before. If he knew his mother well, she was soon going to turn it into a joke. Besides, why would she be upset about them having sex when she wouldn't mind if she found out she had a grandchild tomorrow? She just hadn't liked where they'd chose to bang.As he had expected, his mother was up and had already prepared some food, sitting at the dinning table even though she made no attempt to eat as she tapped her index finger impatiently on her cover. At the clicks of their footwear, she looked up and bestowed them with a stern look that made them exchange a glance, both thinning their lips
"Mother, are you sure you aren't gonna invite the whole Rockford?" Luca questioned, staring skeptically at the three shopping carts that he, his mother and Skylar, each with one, rolled towards the sales counter. Frankly, they'd bought too many things for a party for three.His mother gave him an evasive look and shrugged. Then she engaged looks with Skylar, and they shared a conspiratorial chuckle. Luca's guts twisted, and he realized he shouldn't have trusted his mother. When it came to issues like this, the woman barely did what she was told.After issuing him the ultimatum that he wasn't going to work, his mother had pleaded with Skylar to stay with her, and his girlfriend with a telling look his way, decided that she could call in sick since she didn't have much pressing issues to tend to. Despite both his mother and Skylar knowing how to drive, the former still insisted that he chauffeur them.He'd never known that driving could be so tiring after spending six whole hours, taki
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
