BRYAN'S POV**FEW HOURS AGO**“Gary called. He said your girlfriend left the estate,” Uriel said with a grin, and I frowned, glancing at my watch.“Laura left the estate? Did he mention where she was headed?” I asked, curiously.“I don’t know, but I do know Ossar asked for you to meet up with him,” Uriel replied, sipping from his wineI stood up immediately, the chair scraping against the floor, and Uriel raised his glass in a mocking toast.“Be careful, man,” he advised, and I nodded, as my mind was filled with different thoughts, I wondered what she was up to.When I arrived at the address Oscar had sent, I noticed he seemed troubled.“Where did you say you saw Laura again?” I asked as I sat beside him, watching him scroll through his phone.“Wild Rose,” he replied, lit up his cigarette and blowing out the puff of smoke.“What?” I asked, in disbelief. 'Laura at Wild Rose? What is she doing there? Who does she know?“That girl isn’t who she appears to be. She might look extraordinari
LAURA'S POV"Open up to me .... please ....stop pushing me out. It hurts," he uttered, and tears rolled out of my eyes.My heart squeezed with pain, and I realised I was so into this man more than I even realised, but I can't."Let's make this real. I can't pretend like I don't want this anymore. I don't know why, but I crave this every single day, for you to be my arms," he muttered as he sucked on my neck."Hmnn," I moaned as I held his strong arms tight."Brya...." I trailed, and his hands roamed my body. I pulled him in for a sweet kiss."Huhn," I moaned as we kissed hungrily.My mind was drunk at that point, and my brain was fuzzy as he took the lead, driving me deeper and deeper into his naughtiness.He carried me in his arms as we kissed passionately, our lips fighting for dominance.The room was suddenly so small and hot due to the dirty things we were doing.This attraction is forbidden, I'm not supposed to sleep with Bryan, it will only complicate the deal more than it alrea
BRYAN'S POV"I'm sorry, Bryan. I can't be a man's second option, I just can't," she muttered, pulling her hands from mine. Without another word, she walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. The sound of her muffled sobs reached me through the walls, and it felt like a dagger twisting in my chest.I hated myself for being the source of her pain. I left the room, giving her the space she clearly needed.After last night, I know exactly what I want from her it's not just about having her in my bed. She doesn't even realize how much she controls my emotions. She's like a magnet, drawing me in, even when I know I should keep my distance.But after our outburst and the heated argument that followed, I don't know where we stand anymore. I want to move on from the painful memories of Mia, but they haunt me, creeping into my thoughts at the worst times those moments we shared, the way we made love, the sweetness of our time together. I don't want to hurt Laura, but I can't let
BRYAN'S POV"Are you blushing? Seriously, aww," she cooed sweetly, and I laughed."I'm not blushing," I replied, looking away."Oh please, it's very obvious you were blushing because I said you had your hands all over me," she whispered."I didn't even tell you how your fingers felt in my..." She trailed off."Laura," I interrupted my heart racing. This girl makes me feel so different like I've never experienced intimacy before.My cheeks heated with a blush as I remembered how intensely I was moaning during our make-out session last night. I groaned as my discomfort grew."You shouldn't be telling me that unless you want a replay of what happened," I cautioned, and she laughed."Let's have breakfast together," I declared, and she smiled."I'm sorry I ruined your attempt at being a romantic boyfriend," she said, and I laughed as I wrapped my arms around her waist."I deserve it; after all, I did get on the tigress's nerves," I said, and she smiled."Little one," I called sweetly."I'm
LAURA'S POVMy heart pounded in my chest as he squeezed my ass cheek sweetly and pulled me close."Bryan, I'm sleepy," I said, breaking the kiss."Okay, you go to the room. I'll be there shortly," he said, and I looked at him amusedly."Why?" I asked, and he sucked on his bottom lip as he chuckled."Trust me, sweetness," he said, and my heart warmed.If anything was stopping me from falling for Bryan, it has vanished into thin air because this man is irresistible. His sweet words and caring side can sweep any woman off her feet."I will be in the room," I announced and stared at him curiously.What is he up to? Or was he trying to... My thoughts trailed off, and my cheeks heated up immediately.Is he trying to help himself after what happened between us just now? The thought of Bryan pleasuring himself had me feeling naughty.I got into his room and lay down on the bed to sleep. Some minutes later, I felt him on the bed as he pulled me into his embrace. A smile graced my lips."Goodni
LAURA'S POVAfter a series of nightmares the previous night, I noticed Bryan kept to himself all day. I had to cover up for him during breakfast and lunch. When I got to his room that evening, he was on the bed, and his eyes looked puffy.“Bryan, is everything okay?” I asked, and he stared up at me.“Baby…”“Leave me alone,” he said softly, his voice breaking at the edge.“You don't mean that. You're just looking for a way to vent. Don't push me away, Bryan,” I said, and he stared at me.“Why? Why shouldn't I? Isn't that all I'm good at?” he fired back angrily, and I stared at him.“What's going on in that head of yours, Mr.?” I asked, trying to ease the tension.“I don't wanna talk about it,” he said softly.“How do you intend to help yourself if you don't wanna talk about it, Bryan?” I asked, and he rubbed his forehead.“I can't,” he muttered under his breath. “My love…” he trailed off.“Don't call me that! Don't call me your love, because if I were really in your heart, you'd let m
LAURA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up to a thank you note from Bryan. He had left early for something important but mentioned that I should prepare for a date that evening.As the evening approached, I took a shower, changed, and walked back into our room, only to find Bryan staring at me with a deep frown."What are you wearing?" he asked, his voice laced with disapproval."A dress," I replied, confused, as I turned to check my outfit in the mirror. It was a gorgeous red dress with strings at the back. The dress hugged me in all the right places and ended just before my knees, with a slit at the back."Go and change the dress," he said firmly as jealousy spark on his blue eyes, and my frown deepened."What?" I asked, getting pissed off."Am I speaking gibberish? I said go in there and change. We're not going out with you dressed like that," he repeated, his tone leaving no room for argument."But what's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I asked, with frustration in my voice."Everythin
BRYAN'S POVThroughout our ride to the venue for our date, I felt like we were being stalked. Somehow, Laura didn’t notice. She seemed more relaxed than ever. I received a call from Uriel and glanced at her. “Babe, I need to drop you back at home,” I said, and she stared at me curiously.“Is everything okay, Bryan?” Laura asked as I rubbed my forehead. “Yes, babe, everything is fine,” I assured her, and she nodded.“Ahhhhh!” she screamed in panic when they opened fire on our car. “Bend down!” I shouted and drove at full speed.As I drove down the road, my heart ached with hurt and guilt. We were in this situation because I hadn’t been careful with her.It is the same way I haven't been careful with Mia’s safety and lost her to the cold hands of death. I can’t risk Laura’s safety.“We lost them,” I said to her, and she didn’t respond.Deep down, I knew she was probably sceptical about us after this, or maybe I was overthinking things. Life with me was never easy.Immediately we got hom
