Killian stared at Mayeli with a small smile on his face. What's with the frown? Was she jealous of herself?

He had been walking down the hallway to find Tyse when he saw them. She and Nixen.

Nixen had locked gaze with him, a smile playing on his face before he turned and pulled Mayeli into a kiss. He didn't understand if it had been meant to make him jealous, but it worked as hell.

He needed to get Mayeli out of his head, he was falling for her more than he should.

But, here she was in his room, cleaning the wound he had sustained because of her.

Christ, had she been crying because he said no to her cleaning his wound? She found a way to pull at his heartstrings.

She stared at her as she moved her lovely hair away from her beautiful face, her eyes concentrated on the bandage she was applying to his hand. He could feel his heartbeat palpating.

How could someone draw you in so easily, without even trying? He wondered.

She looked up to stare at him, her green eyes glowing brightly under

    Mayeli smiled as she buttoned up his black shirt. It still had his scent, so she guessed he had worn it recently.She couldn't believe he asked her to stay. Killian was one confusing fellow. One moment, he was happy, and the next, he was angry. She just couldn't get it.At least he was being sweet tonight, maybe she could hold on to that fact.She sprayed on a little of his Pur Oud Louis Vuitton perfume, wondering how his perfume could cost more than a thousand dollars. Just how rich was Killian?When she stepped into the room, he was arranging pillows on the couch. He had changed from the blue jean and black LV T-shirt he had been wearing earlier, to black shorts and a black sleeveless polo. He always looked smoking-hot in all black.Mayeli bit on her lower lips as she watched the movement of his flexing muscles as he arranged the pillows, oblivious of her presence.Gosh, he was so beautiful. Her eyes trailed his tall frame, and his well-built legs. He had a dragon tattoo on one, whi

    Mayeli let in a deep breath. She knew she was meant to be resisting him right now. What was she going to say to Nixen?She opened her mouth to protest, by shut it when his fingers rubbed circles on her thighs. Her heartbeat was already racing, and she was feeling an intense hunger in her lower belly. It was insane how easily she responded to his touch.“Tell me to stop now”, he whispered, his hands gripping her hips.How could she tell him to stop when she wanted him so badly. The image of Nixen’s sad face came to her head, and she paused for a moment.“Please stop, Lian”, she managed. She stared into his eyes, and was shocked to see the hunger she saw hidden there. Her hunger probably matched his, but she had to think of Nixen.He cupped her cheeks in his large hands. “Are you sure you want me to stop, baby?” He asked.She bit on her lower lips for a second, and when she parted them to speak, he stop the words from escaping with his lips.

    A knock on the door.Shaila stopped talking and turned to stare at Mayeli who she had been teasing endlessly.“Did you order anything?” Mayeli asked her sister.“No. I will get the door”. Shaila adjusted her short, flay, yellow dress, and headed for the door. She opened the door, paused for a second, and turned to stare at Mayeli.“What?” Mayeli asked, puzzled. Shaila loved to add drama to everything she was doing.“He is here”. Shaila had a sheepish grin on her face.“Who?” Mayeli's face twisted in a frown, what was her sister getting at this time.“Killian”, Shaila replied.Mayeli felt her body freeze. What was Killian doing here? She could barely breathe. Shaila mumbled an excuse, and exited the room, leaving the door wide open for Killian.Killian sauntered in with a sweet smile on his handsome face. He looked breathtaking. He was wearing a sleek, moist-wicking orange, basketball jersey that showed off his perfect body. His loose black shorts stopped just above his thighs, showi

They had just finished the games and had decided to eat out instead of going back to their hotel.Mayeli was seated beside him, on his right, while Bryelle was on his left. Shaila was sitting beside Mayeli, and next to her were her two kids and her mother next to them. Truce was seated beside Bryelle, while Tyse was seated beside him.They were all happily chatting about the game. His team had won, and he had scored most of the goals.

    “You look gorgeous, May”, Kreed said, placing a cup of coffee on Mayeli's large office table.She gave him a weak smile. “Thank you”.Okay, so what's with the sour mood? She just returned from her trip yesterday, but had insisted on coming to work amidst Nixen's protest.She couldn't bear to stay idle, it would kill her. She was thinking too much about Killian, and she was trying her best to stay away from Nixen, which was impossible since she basically saw him everyday and mostly every time. Her conscience was killing her.“Mayeli, I just completed your dress, and no thank you?” Kreed frowned.“I said thank you for”. She rolled her eyes at him. How she looked was the least of her worries. She was wearing a peach coloured Chanel suit and a white Jimmy Choo heels. Her hair was styled to fall down her back and she had a light makeup on her face.“I didn't hear you”, Kreed mumbled. Mayeli knew he was just trying to get her to talk, his best attempt at trying to cheer her up. “Just let m

  • The Chemistry   Did he just call her his sweet?

    Mayeli walked into the head teacher's office to see her little daughter clutching to a tall well-built figure. Even though she was staring at his back, she knew it was Killian. She felt her heart twist painfully as she remembered her conversation with Nixen a few minutes ago. What the fuck was Killian doing here? And holding her little girl? He had the nerves!“He barely needs the nerve to hold his child”, Mayeli's inner voice chastised, but she ignored the voice.For a second, she panicked. What if Killian had discovered he was Mayeli's father? Otherwise, what was he doing here?“Are you Bryelle's Mom?” A tall, slim, and shockingly pretty lady, whom Mayeli had not noticed earlier asked. The woman had a slightly deep voice and an athletic body that fitted her beautiful round face. She was dressed in a black, Channel suit-skirt. She was clutching to a cute, chubby young girl of about Bryelle's age, whom Mayeli believed to be the woman's daughter.Christ, the little girl was probably t

    “Shoot!” Mayeli muttered, stepping out of her car.An accident had occurred, and the road was blocked. There was no other route leading to her house except this one. Accidents like this happened a lot during the winter. And tonight, it was snowing heavily.She checked her silver Edox wristwatch. It was 8 p.m. When she left school, Mayeli had taken Bryelle to her mother's house. Bryelle refused to talk to her, so she had to visit her Mom.After a long talk with Bryelle and a thorough scolding from her mom about telling Killian about Bryelle's real father, Mayeli was allowed to leave her mom's house. Now here she was, stuck!She looked around for who she could talk to, but everyone seemed busy. Finally, a middle-aged, male police officer walked past her, and she quickly stopped the woman.“What's the progress on clearing, Ma'am?” Mayeli asked. The woman gave her a compassionate look. “I'm sorry, the road not be cleared anytime soon, and even if it cleared, it would be very dangerous t

    “What?” Mayeli shrieked.The receptionist politely repeated what she had just said, though she shot Mayeli a death glare, and threw Killian a coquettish smile. Mayeli didn't the young woman. Killian had that effect on many people, including males. The man was a breathing temptation.“I said we are filled to our capacity, and there are no space rooms”, the receptionist repeated.“Okay, that's fine, she'd stay in my room. Give me the keys to room 306, I made a reservation”, Killian said to the receptionist.The receptionist blushed. “I'm coming, I have to check the records, give me a moment”.Mayeli shot her a glare. The woman had the nerve to flirt with Killian in front of her.“Of course, she has every right to flirt with him. He is not yours or is he?” Her inner voice whispered.Oh, the damn voice! It always told her the truth. Truths she wasn't willing to accept.“Here you go”, the receptionist said, handing Killian the key to his room. Killian tried to collect the keys, but the wo

Jovita and I were more alike than I thought.When she finally stepped out, my eyes scanned her body, while she blushed. Fuck, I could never get enough of her.“Let's go”, she said, leading the way.I laughed, grabbing her slim waist and pulling her to me. I scooped her into my arms, surprising both her and myself. I could barely think straight when it came to her. I couldn't remember ever loving anyone this way.She kept protesting, but I ignored her, and only put her down when we reached the kitchen.“So what are you making?” I asked, already missing the feel of her soft body on my arms.“Patience Jayden, you can have her all night”, I chastised myself.“Chicken stir fry and meatloaf. It's quite late so I'm not making much”, she replied, taking out a pan. I still couldn't believe she could cook and I was kinda looking forward to tast

    Mayeli rolled her eyes before she picked up her sister's call. Shaila had been calling her nonstop. Who gave a person six calls at just 6 am?“Hello?” Mayeli said into the mouthpiece, carefully rolling out of her bed to avoid waking Bryelle up. She walked to her bedroom balcony. The gush of wind that hit her instantly took away any ounce of sleep she still felt.“Have you seen the headlines?” Shaila screamed. Mayeli's eyes narrowed. Her sister was mostly always dramatic, but this was quite extreme.“What is in the headlines?” Mayeli asked, strolling to the bedside table to pick up her laptop.She drew aside her curtains, letting warm sun-ray bath her room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.“I don't think it's something I can tell you over the phone”. It was Shaila's way. Make her curious, then leave her hanging.With a sigh, Mayeli opened her MacBook Pro. She went to her browser, and typed the words “Killian Reon”.Before she clicked on the enter button, she decided to make a cup

    Mayeli sat behind after Tyse had left her, chatting with some of her colleagues at work who had been invited to the party. She had been surprised to see them, but she was glad. They had helped her get her mind off Killian.“Can I talk to you for a second?” A familiar voice asked Mayeli. Nixen.Mayeli was a bit surprised. She hadn't seen Nixen in a while. She didn't know he was invited to the party. Of course, he would have been invited. He was Killian's brother after all.Mayeli managed a smile, before she excused herself from her group, and followed Nixen.They stopped by a less crowded spot.“It's been a while, Nixen”, Mayeli said.Mayeli ran his hands through his now curly hair, and the curls fell back on his forehead. He was dressed in a black Brioni suit with a white shirt inside. The first three buttons of his shirt were left open, revealing his well-built hairy chest. Mayeli took in Nixen’s new hairstyle with a smile. He was trying to look like Killian.“Mayeli, I have missed

    Mayeli's heartbeat was racing heartbeats she watched Killian lower his lips to hers. Their lips were an inch apart when the twisting of the bathroom door handle interrupted them.Mayeli quickly pushed Killian away and adjusted her hair. She turned to see Killian standing with a confused expression.“He shouldn't be here, it's the ladies' room. How would you explain when the headline carries it tomorrow? He's Killian Reon after all”, Mayeli's inner voice whispered. For once, she agreed perfectly with that voice.Quickly, she pulled Killian and shoved him into one of the restrooms. Then she took out her phone, and leaned on the restroom door, pretending to be busy chatting.“Hi”, the middle-aged woman who walked in said with a smile. She was plus-sized, and her black V-neck gown could barely contain her shape.“Hey”, Mayeli replied, managing a smile.“Are you waiting for someone?” The lady inquired.“No”, Mayeli answered curtly, hoping she'd do her thing and go away quickly.

    Mayeli stared at the rolls of cars parked in front of Killian's house as Nathan eased his black Phantom into one of the very few parking spaces available. The parking area was filled with several expensive-looking cars. From the look of things, there was a high turnout for Tyse's party.Mayeli wasn't surprised. Tyse was a young, renowned, and very handsome multi-billionaire. He'd have a lot of friends. Besides, he was Killian Reon’s best friend. That added to the popularity.When Nathan killed the engine, Mayeli hurriedly opened her car door and stepped out, walking towards the entrance of Killian's house without waiting for her two companions. She wearing the dress Killian had bought her and she was about to walk into his house. She didn't want to walk in with Nathan by her side or worse, holding hands with him. Killian was already angry at her, she didn't want to add to it.“Don't an in such, Mayeli. I know you can't wait to see Killian, but you don't have to leave us behind”, Nico

    Killian clasped his Samsung Galaxy Z Fold tightly, resisting the urge to call her. He had been doing that for a while now. Mayeli was messing with his head. First she liked him, now he liked her, she wasn't interested in him. It didn't make sense. And now they were other guys? Huff, what was he going to do?“You said you wouldn't contact her first”, Tyse said, lying on Killian's bed. “I love your room, Zed”.Killian ran his hands through his hair, letting out a frustrated sigh. “I don't know what to do, Cas”.“I'm sorry you got rejected, but I think you should let her be”.“She said she needed time to think. I didn't get rejected”.Tyse chuckled, sitting up. “That's also a way of saying I'm not interested”.Killian’s already depressed mood dampened more. Why would Mayeli reject him? They spent quality time together, and she had been happy, so what was her reason?“Perhaps she likes the Nathan dude. Didn't you say they were so close?” Tyse asked.Killian’s head throbbed at the memory.

She had been badly craving a cocktail, so Nicole allowed her just a glass and nothing more.“You should eat your food, Mayeli, it's delicious. Especially the crabs”, Nicole said with a chuckle.“I just want another glass of cocktail”, Mayeli mumbled, giving Nicole a pout.Nicole rolled her eyes. “You can keep staring at the food then”.“As you wish”.“Mayeli, you should eat your food right now!"“Fine. Why are you so scared?” Mayeli grumbled, taking a bite of her sandwich.They were silent for a while, and Nicole tapped consistently on her screen, laughing silently. “Who's that?” Mayeli asked.“Nobody”.Mayeli adjusted the loose strands of hair that were flapping over her face. The day was quite windy. “You should stop laughing aloud then, you're only making me curious”.“Whatever”, Nicole mumbled absent-mindedly.Mayeli’s phone beeped, and she pi

    Mayeli wiped away the tears falling down her cheeks, they just wouldn't stop coming. “Mayeli, what's wrong?” Killian asked for the umpteenth time. He looked like a mother hen unsure of how to take care of its chicks. He was driving her to her house.Mayeli looked away, wondering whether to tell him. He would be so angry. He would yell, and he'd probably not want to see her face ever again.Killian pulled into her driveway, killed the engine, and came over to open her door for her.“Hey come, let's get you inside”, he mumbled, taking her hands.He led her to the kitchen, sat her on a stool and proceeded to the fridge. He took a bottle of water and poured her a glass, giving it to her. His face still had the anxious look, and it was funny because she had never seen Killian anxious.He cupped her cheeks in his hands. “Are you feeling better?” He asked.Mayeli nodded, staring at the glass of water, and building the courage to open up to him.“Good”, Killian mumbled, then dipped his head

Mayeli thought with a chuckle.“You've been complaining nonstop Mr Reon, I think you might as well take over my role”, Nathan fired back.The two men had been arguing consistently for a while now. “Well, I guess you're better at the job”, Killian replied, looking away.“At least you know that”, Nathan grumbled.“What have we got? Is it a boy or a girl?” Mayeli asked, interrupting the argument.Nathan turned to her with a teasing smile that showed off his dimple. “What do you think?” He asked, rubbing her hair lightly.“Now you would make me guess?” Mayeli asked laughing. It had been so long since she saw Nathan, and she had forgotten how playful he was. He always seemed to make a situation lighter no matter how
