The Bargain I miss Skylar
Steffan helped Racheal out of her chair, and the couple went to stand at the edge of the balcony.She placed her hand on the balustrade, and looked out at the resort below. Steffan stood behind her.“It’s so high up.” She said, as she looked down.“Mhmm hmm.” Steffan responded, kissing her neck. She smiled, and moved her hand back to caress his hair.“When did you buy this place?’ She asked.“When I turned twenty-four.” He replied, lifting his head up from her neck.He wrapped his hand around her waist, and held her close against his chest.“You should be one of your father’s biggest competitors in the hospitality business.” She felt him smile. “We serve different customers.“How?” “This place is best for getaways. No one would drive hours to come have a serious business meeting here.” Steffan said.She nodded and continued to watch the main road far off. She knew he admired his father. It was evident in how he decided to invest in the same businesses his father did, and now she
The Bargain Newlyweds
The shop staff walked out, and Racheal leaned in to wipe her lipstick off Steffan’s lips. She went up to the mirror and saw kiss marks all over her neck, and halfway to her chest.She stared at the mirror in dismay. She did not bring her purse here, so she had nothing to wipe the stains away.“Here.” Steffan said behind her. She turned to see he was offering her his handkerchief. “Thank you.” She said, taking it from him. She turned back to the mirror, and began to wipe her neck and chest.She occasionally glanced at Steffan through the mirror. He was still frowning.“Why are you embarrassed?’ He asked suddenly.“What?” She stared at him through the mirror. What did he mean, someone just walked in on them, how could she not be embarrassed?“We are married to Racheal. What were they expecting when they left newlyweds alone in a room?” She did not say anything. They were not exactly newlyweds anymore, and how could the staff here have suspected they would be making out in a pu
The Bargain Solving more puzzles
Steffan placed the big dress box in the trunk of the car, as Racheal got in the passenger seat. Usually, one of their guards would have done that. It was nice to experience life as normal people.She put on her seatbelt, as Steffan climbed into the car. “How are you feeling?” He glanced at her.“Fine.” She responded, wondering why he would suddenly ask that.You have not taken your medication today.” He said, pulling the car out of the building.“I took them earlier this morning while you were still asleep.” “Oh.” He nodded. She watched him drive quietly, a thousand thoughts swimming in her head. “When you said I was embarrassed of you, after we returned from the stadium. Why did you say that?”She saw his jaw begin to grind, and he gripped the wheels more tightly. She held her breath watching him. If she knew this would upset him so much, she would not have said anything. She waited quietly, deciding that if he did not respond now, she would never ask him again.She could li
The Bargain Surprise guests at the ball
“Just as I predicted. Perfection.” Nico said, as he stepped back to look at Racheal in her dress. Marie, the makeup artist, was also smiling proudly at her handiwork.“Thank you.” Steffan said to Nico as a way of dismissing his team. “You’re all done right?” Racheal held her lips to avoid bursting into laughter. He was impatient to get them all out of the room.“Yes sir.” Nico replied, still smiling. The man was obviously missing the hint that Steffan wanted all of them out of the room, because he kept admiring the hair, and walking round the big ball of ruffles that was the dress she stood in.Steffan walked up to them, stopped, and took his phone out. “Step aside.” He said quietly to Nico. “Here baby.” He turned to her. Racheal smiled at him. She heard the sound of the phone camera click twice, then Steffan returned the phone to his pocket.Nico was still admiring his work, and all his team members were watching her too.“Are you forgetting anything Nico.” Racheal finally spok
The Bargain Hold your man
“You do?” Racheal asked, looking up at Steffan. How did they know each other?“Yes.” Steffan said, returning his hand to his pocket. He and Alvaro stared at each other, doing what men often did, sizing themselves up. “You look lovely.” Jade said, ignoring the men to hug her.“As do you.” Racheal smiled, hugging her friend. She did not miss the fact that Jade carefully avoided her injured arm. She was impressed that the woman remembered what arm had been injured even with the concealing makeup.“Not nearly as good as you.” Jade said gently, pulling away. “Everyone is talking about you.”“Who is everyone?”“Those women at the back are just one of many.” Jade said, gesturing behind.Racheal glanced behind her, but could not see more than a few metres off. The room was hazy with false smoke.She turned her attention back to Jade, not without noticing Alvaro and Steffan were whispering quietly between themselves.“Your friend is here, I saw him out back with your assistant and some o
The Bargain I don't like mistresses
“She sent you an invite?” Racheal asked, as Steffan moved with her across the dance floor, his hand on her waist.“Yes.”“So this was pre-planned after all.” She muttered to herself.She saw a flash of anger in his eyes. And then he shook his head. “No dear wife. Initially I had no idea she sent the invite. My P.A knows I cannot be bothered with things like that. I only found out I had an invite when I asked her to get us a pass to the ball earlier today.Racheal immediately felt sorry for doubting him at all. “Look at me Racheal” He said, when he noticed that she was avoiding his eyes. “I am sorry about the party.”“Why?” She asked in surprise.“This was supposed to be a part of your quiet getaway. I had no idea the whole of bloody Yin would be here.”Racheal shook her head. “Our getaway.” She said. He smiled, and kissed her forehead.“I want you to enjoy the party.”“I want you to enjoy it too.” Racheal said. Stefan rolled his eyes, causing her to giggle. “I mean it.”“You are
The Bargain Why are you choosing him?
Racheal had some difficulty finding the restroom upstairs.With no wait staff around, she had to check several rooms before she found the right one. When she finally did, it felt like her bladder was about to burst.When she walked in, she heard an odd sound. Damn. They could not even wait to get home? She hurried into a stall far from the one the sound was coming from.She thought about how Steffan would probably take her into one of these stalls if she allowed it.She was not ready to go that far yet. It was barely even two days since she had sex for the first time.She felt a blush creep up her cheeks at this thought although no one was watching her.She shook her head at herself.She concluded that sex in a public place was not something she was very eager to try out, as she stepped out of the stall to wash her hands.Racheal hurried out, still hearing the crazy loud sounds.They sounded like lusty lovers. The man’s grunt was deep, and the woman’s moans were high.She wondered
The Bargain Steffan loves me
Racheal froze, staring at Delbert in surprise. She was not shocked at what he was saying. She would be a real dummy to not know that the man had some type of feelings for her. She was simply shocked that they were strong enough for him to give voice to it. She had never believed the day would come when he would confess his feelings for her.“I love you,” Delbert repeated strongly. “I would take you out of this place if you said yes to me.” She frowned, her shock turning to hurt.So he had the power to take her out of here all this time? He did not do it because she was not his woman. Was that not selfish?This realization soured her mood.Even if Steffan was not in the picture, she would still not have accepted that kind of offer.His offer was not the absolute freedom she craved. She wanted the freedom to be able to get out of here, and choose to be with anyone she fancied, or choose to be with no one at all, if she preferred.“You are not saying anything.” Delbert said.“What d
