Melissa haphazardly put on her clothes, disregarding the undies. Hey, if they’re going to continue in his room, there’s no point wearing them.She sauntered after him. Three doors to the right, he entered his master bedroom. She shrugged upon seeing the general aesthetic of it. Typical of a bachelor.“Where do you want me?” She asked while she made her way towards the large bed. It’s not as if her past lovers hadn’t made demands in the bedroom. They have and she’s not averse to giving them what they want, as long as it’s not beyond what she could tolerate.The man removed his clothes before facing her, so she stripped as well as he looked on. He tapped the bottom of the bed.“Right here.”Only then did she notice that the bed is raised higher than the ones she’s used to. Well, he’s a tall guy. And well… is it to make it easier for him to pound a woman senseless as he stands on the floor? Her core ached at the thought and moved to where he wants her. She sat on the edge of the bed and
When she went back to her room, she grinned at seeing the money on her account. She could breathe just fine now. It was as if half her problems have been settled. She quickly paid her bills online before doing anything else.Afterwards, she rummaged through one of her boxes and found a cute notebook and a pen. She’s not used to making plans, but she now felt that she needed to. Save half of her money, huh? Pursing her lips, she grudgingly agreed that she will do that. She took a deep breath. Is she really going out to apply for jobs? Just thinking about it is already draining her energy. Well, she would need an updated resume. She knew that much. She opened her laptop and edited the document. Apparently, one-page resumes are now the trend. She doesn’t have much to put in it anyway. Just some of her personal information and educational background. Experience? Only her internship.She went to Klyde’s study to print copies of it. Since he’s out she was free to look around. All those book
She fell asleep not long after she got back. Going around to shop was tiring.When Klyde returned, he went to his study to finish a few things. When he was called for dinner, Melissa was nowhere to be found.“Where’s that woman?” He asked with a frown. The maid felt a little scared by his tone and expression.“I already knocked on her room, sir. I have informed her that dinner is ready.”“Did you get an answer?”“No, sir.”“Call her again.”“Yes, sir.” She hurried away to obey her employer.It doesn’t really matter to Klyde. He began to eat without waiting for her. He was about to finish his meal when she arrived. She looked a little disheveled and her eyes still look sleepy. He could only surmise that she’d been sleeping.“Did you apply for jobs today? Do you have a job already?” He went straight to business.She could only roll her eyes at him and groan. “Are we in a rush? I still don’t know what I want to do. I’m carefully considering my options. I did look around earlier, but I’m
“Do you not mind fucking with an older man?” He asked absentmindedly as he changed his clothes.Melissa was still basking in the afterglow of their shared pleasure. “Are you fishing for compliments? Do you need your ego bolstered?”He raised an eyebrow at her as he buttoned a different shirt.“You look much younger than your age and you probably know already, your body is comparable to that of younger men. Are these what you want to hear? Satisfied?”Klyde lightly shook his head. He shouldn’t have bothered asking. It’s clear now that she’s not easily bothered by anything. That’s not even what he meant by his question.“On another topic, how do you expect me to go out early to look for a job when you still use my body at this hour? When I start working for a company, can we do away with morning sex?”He couldn’t answer immediately, but did consider it carefully. “Maybe a quickie.”Melissa groaned at his reply. Men. She rolled her eyes at him as she rolled on the bed to search for her n
This kind of gaze from him already has an effect on her. He looks so hot and he has his way of inciting desire from within her. Melissa put the book on the coffee table as she stood. She would like to try something with him.“Why don’t you sit first?” She suggested as she acted coy, giving him space to move over.But instead of doing as she asked, he kept moving closer to her. She tried to stand her ground and not avoid him. She raised an eyebrow as he stood right in front of her. She could smell his unique cologne, musky and masculine. He squinted at her. He has ideas of his own, but they’re currently away from a wall. He would like to reenact the first time she tried to seduce him. Since the couch is closer, he sat down as she requested.For one, she wanted to know which of them would give in first. She didn’t remove her clothes and went straight to straddle him. He raised an eyebrow as she pressed her body close to his and then, she rubbed herself on him as she licked the right sid
Well, it took more than a day. Scouting the next business area in the city, that is.Melissa realized that it’s fun, but there’s that underlying worry. Would she be able to get a job or not? She’s not exactly pressured at this point, but she could sympathize with the others she saw. Life is hard, apparently.A few days later, she finally got a call and she was asked to come in for an interview. It’s fairly easy to see that there’s something different about her. She has this air of confidence that didn’t stem from… an actual confidence in her skills or knowledge. Her confidence stems from the fact that she can afford to fail to interview.From a professional standpoint, she carries herself well. She answers in a straight-forward manner. She didn’t stammer. Her replies seem very honest. It was all good until you look at her resume, or ask her about her experiences. There’s none. And she couldn’t share anything about it. Ranking-wise, she’s lined up with the fresh graduates. It’s a real
Melissa made plenty of preparations. She did research the company but it’s not as if she can tell what the employees would be like when she gets in. Her lip twitched.Well, since Lily could bear working for the company for over a year now, it’s probably not that bad.For some reason, she felt nervous when she handed in her resume. She tried focusing her attention elsewhere but she’s still bothered by it.“What’s gotten into you?” Klyde asked her one night. He’s still working on a document at his study when she showed up. She was somewhat restless, even when she’s just trying to read a book.“What do you mean?” She asked back.“You look out of it. You seem anxious about something.” Though they’ve only known each other for a short while, he could tell something is different about her this time.She pursed her lips, contemplating whether she could tell him or not. Well, letting it out helps, right?“I have applied to a company I want to work in. My friend is there, so it should be good.
She couldn’t stop grinning and feeling happy for the rest of the day.When Lily called, she went over to her place to celebrate with her. She brought their favorite food and a bottle of wine.Her friend is happy for her but she’s worried, too. Mel could be flexible. She can adapt to many situations… she should be good. Right?When she returned to Klyde’s place, she’s a little tipsy. But her energy is still high. Her smile was as wide as it could be as she approached the master of the house.The man frowned at her figure. He could already tell she’s not sober. That expression on her face is a little sickening as he’s unfamiliar with it.“Where have you been?” His tone was hostile but she doesn’t seem to mind.“Oh, just a little celebration with my friend.” She grinned stupidly as she reached for his arm and clung to it.“I got a job!” She stated it in a sing-song. Her voice was not unpleasant.Klyde pursed his lips, “It’s good that you got a job, but do you have to come home drunk?”Sh
“If you don’t want to, then I won’t force you. You’re still the most important to me.”In the morning, he was gone when she woke up. She went to take a quick shower and found him with a breakfast tray when she got out of the bathroom. Those were his opening words as she sat on the bed with him.“I’m sorry I can’t give you a daughter.” She muttered, still feeling complicated about it.“Don’t be. It’s fine. I only wanted a daughter because I thought watching her grow up would let me see how you grew up. And I also thought boys would be difficult to handle.”She can only snort. He has an odd way of thinking.“Are you feeling better?” He reached out to touch her forehead again.“Yeah. The fever’s gone.” And the headache. She didn’t complain about a headache last night but it was there.“Did you check on Klay last night?&
Klyde was immensely relieved. Mel is already three months pregnant but she’s not as grumpy as before. She also very touchy instead of loathing his touch. He dared not to voice out his observations, though. He wouldn’t jinx it.Her behavior is hugely different than before. He’s convinced they’re really having a girl this time. Mel was amused when he predicted such a thing, and told him it’s a boy, just to rile him up. She even came up with a name, Kyle. He’s clearly not pleased, grunting and insisting it’s going to be a girl. He would name her Malia.They made a bet on it and decided not to check the gender before birth. They want it to be a surprise, but she knew she would feel bad to see him disappointed.The pregnancy was a lot easier. Mel thought it’s because they’re prepared this time and they wanted it. She has less worries and sincerely happy with the situation. Klyde was very supportive, too.Wh
After their honeymoon, she insisted on going to his beach house. They spent two days there and she enjoyed watching the sunset.“Do you like it that much?” Klyde asked against her ear as he hugged her from behind.“Yeah. It’s more than beautiful.” She lowly uttered, tilting her head to the side as he began pressing kisses on her neck.“You’re the most beautiful.” He husked against her skin, making her shiver.Mel couldn’t help chuckling. She likes it when he compliments her in his own sweet way.“I’m still the most beautiful for you?” She glanced at him and he quickly captured her lips. Why must he act like he’s still so in love with her? She moaned as he kissed her deeper.“You’ll always be the most beautiful for me.” He whispered against her lips.“How about when we have a daughter?” She couldn’t help but wonder how much
Klyde was gloating. They’ve been teaching Klay how to talk and the first word he could say properly was “dada”. He spent so much time practicing it with him.Mel wasn’t even competing with him. “Now teach him how to say mama.”That kid is definitely going to grow up as daddy’s boy. She’s extremely satisfied with the way he’s very hands-on in raising their son. Who knew he could be very patient? She wasn’t as patient as him.Right now, the man is slowly teaching him how to walk. Klay crawls a lot and is very active, but he can’t walk on his own two feet yet. Klyde needs to hold his body or his arms to get him standing up.Without any experience, he was initially afraid of holding him. The boy was so delicate, he was scared he would hurt him, bruise him or break his little body. He had to be very gentle with him.“Here, feed him. He must be hungry now.” Mel passed him a bot
When she heard that, she began to look guilty.“What? You don’t want to?” Here he is again with a whiny tone.Mel grimaced as she replied, “Something like that.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“Actually, I’m already on birth control. I got a new arm insert.” She sheepishly replied.Pursing his lips, he asked, “Since when? Why didn’t you tell me?”“Uh, a month after I gave birth? I really don’t want to get pregnant for the time being.” Her tone was somewhat pleading him to understand her worries.“I just forgot to tell you.”He kept his silence.“Klyde, I’m not ready to go through that again. Not anytime soon.”Finally, upon seeing her worried expression, he relented. He sighed and took her in his arms.“But it’s not off the table, is it? Would you be interested in
She quickly swallowed when he turned his glare on her. Mel stood her ground, though. She didn’t do anything wrong. She even raised an eyebrow to challenge him.He grabbed her arm and brought her to her little office in the back. There’s still a couple of customers in the café, so it’s not suitable to confront her there. They passed Nessa on the way, who became a little worried for her boss.“Klyde…” She began but was immediately cut off. She’s feeling a different kind of déjà vu.“Do you like him? Is he your type?” His tone was sharp and accusatory but upon hearing his words, she was reminded of a similar situation not too long ago.It made her a little speechless. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t form the words. What kind of situation is this?“Damn it, woman. Are you not satisfied with me? What else do I lack?” His expression was something
In preparation for the event, he made sure she’s got a new dress. When she put it on, she looked stunning in it. He knew people’s eyes would be on them that night.When he warned her to ignore rude comments, she raised an eyebrow at him.“I think you’re forgetting something. I really don’t give a damn what other people think of me.” Sure, there were moments she would feel small and unworthy, but they’re fleeting moments. She can shrug them off quite quickly.“Right. You’re really meant to be my wife.”That’s statement made her heart melt. He placed her hand on his arm and they entered the venue. He wore a smile on his face, which was rare to see. Everyone who saw it were surprised and curious. They immediately made the connection to the woman by his side. His gaze was mostly on her as they walked in and that gaze was uncharacteristically gentle. At least, for other people who are used to se
Mel fell asleep after that and he could only watch her. He traced her face before it seemed to irritate her and she snuggled closer to him. He smiled at her unconscious reaction.She hasn’t responded to it and she seemed in disbelief. When she wakes up, he’ll definitely make sure she remembers it from now on.A few hours later, she woke up with a need to use the toilet. She tried not to wake him, only to find him staring at her. She scrambled after that.Klyde smirked. He didn’t tease her this time. He let her run away.In the bathroom, she seemed to recall what happened before she slept. Her face felt hot and when she looked in the mirror, she could see the redness of her cheeks. And the damn hickeys on her neck! She did a quick wash before grabbing a bathrobe and squinting at the door. He’s waiting for her, isn’t he?When she got out, she saw him patting the bed.“You haven’t slept yet?” She
Klyde quickly caught up with her just as she exited the door. He pulled her to the side, but she struggled against him. In that moment, he knew he’s in so much trouble again.“Mel, please. Don’t be angry. Let me explain.”She glared at him and pulled her hand back but he caught it again. Thankfully, his driver was outside and watching the entrance. Klyde saw him and nodded. The man quickly scrambled to get the car.“Melissa, don’t make a scene. Let’s go home and talk.” He grabbed both of her hands and pulled her close. Some people curiously looked in their direction and he glared at them. Mind your own business.Her imagination run wild again and as she kept silent, the scenario in her head kept becoming worse and worse. Her eyes constricted as she became angrier with every minute.He pushed her into the car and immediately followed. With her hands freed, she began hitting him. This bastard…
