Andre's POV"What?"She rolled her eyes. "To show my deepest apologies, I'll be helping you with reviving your ranch. Just tell me what you need help with." Her words came out like it was definite and I had no choice.I stared at the lady in front of me. She was different from the woman I met back then. Still cold but crazy has been added to the list. There's no way she expected me to take her up on her offer. "What are you apologizing for? You didn't do anything."An eye roll was what I got in response. "I didn't but I have come to realize I've not been civil and I'll like to make up for it." My gaze intensified on her features but her confidence didn't waver."It's good that you want to make amends but I think fixing the fence will be enough."She wasn't having it, she let out a heavy breath in frustration. "I don't think you understand. I want to help you. I don't know why you'd be bothered about that ranch but it must mean something to you if you aren't going to sell and I'll like
Andre's POV"From your tone and expression, I guess that's a bad thing?" It was meant to be a statement but it came out as a question."My mom is going to kill me! I can't be pregnant. I don't have a husband or a job, I could never raise a child on my own." She dropped to the foot of my bed, the test results tightly squeezed in her hand. I didn't know what to say so I just let her rant on. "My dad walked out on us when he found out my mom was pregnant with me and I vowed never to let that happen to me and now look! I'm screwed." She said as she held her head tightly, her finger digging deep into her scalp.She had gone quiet suddenly in the poorly lit room. A poorly lit lamp was at the far end of the room so I couldn't see her face but loud sobs soon filled the room and her body shook with each one. I move with hesitation over to her to comfort her. My arms awkwardly laid on her shoulders and just when I was about to utter a word, she hugged me tightly. I was beyond stunned. We were s
Catalina's POV"How was your talk with Andres?" I nearly jumped out of my skin. Nana stood by the stairs with a cleaning brush in her hand. She was humming a tune as she cleaned the railings.I sighed, walking closer to her as my hands stayed on my hips. "Not good. He turned me down." "Well, you can't blame him." She shrugged, returning to her cleaning."What do you mean? You wouldn't trust me if I offered you a hand?" Shock was written on my face as Nana laughed."I would because I know you and I trust you but he doesn't and you haven't done anything to make him think otherwise." She was right but that didn't make it hurt any less. Right there, Mariana walked in with distress written all over her face. The color drained off her and she just looked worried. Walking right passed me, she aimed for the stairs. Her usual made-up face was swollen with dried tears all over. Her brunette hair which was perfectly straightened earlier stuck out in all directions."What's wrong Mariana?" Nana
Andre's POVI was discharged the next day with strict orders from Marcario to take care of myself. Catalina picked me and we shared an awkward silence on the way home. The silence was so intense I glanced at her a few times to check if she felt it too. She didn't give off any emotions and just paid attention to her driving. I gave up a few minutes into the ride and made conversation. "The weather seems nice."While waiting for her response, all I got was a side glance. I was going to say something when she said, "it's nice, the sun is out. It would be good for a picnic." I didn't know what to reply to that so I just nodded.We spent a few minutes in another yet awkward silence."So how was your night?"She was talking to me without me starting it first. This was new, and I liked it. "It was good, I slept well even with a blaring alarm in the room."She turned to me, confusion written all over her face. "What?""Marcario snores," I replied with a knowing look"Right, you mentioned it l
Andre's POVAs I expected, Catalina was right on time. She caught me off-guard as I was in the shower and Felipe let her into my room. She stopped by to check the progress of the work that hadn't even started yet."They aren't here yet?" She said, referring to the construction workers. She looked through the foggy glass in the bathroom, her eyes ran frantically, searching for me."No, they aren't. It's still early, they should be here soon. Please leave now," I said in one breathe as I tried controlling my thoughts. Showering soon became the farthest thing on my mind."I wasn't planning on staying, don't kid yourself." She turned, now facing my bedroom door. I took the opportunity to grab a towel, wrapping it around my waist and then I stepped out.Noticing how quiet the room had gotten, she turned to me. "Aren't you going to get dressed? You don't plan on going out like that, do you?" She said as her eyes gave me a look over.I smirked, taking a step closer. "Does it bother you?" Thi
Catalina's POVI tried avoiding Andre all day, it wasn't easy. He tried making conversation even when I made it clear that I wasn't in the mood to talk to him. He was stubborn and persistent, only fueling my irritation.The day finally ended and I slipped away without anyone noticing. I was hot and frustrated from the events that occurred earlier. My mind kept wandering back and forth and I couldn't seem to stop thinking about him. I couldn't concentrate to get any work done. He was a fire while I was the moth. Sighing, I kept my documents in my top drawer. There was no point, I finally accepted that I wasn't going to get any work done. I leaned back in my seat for a minute and stared right at the ceiling, the incident of this morning haunted me. His wet body flashed through my mind and I pulled at my hair in frustration. I was going crazy but then again, the last time I met a man was months ago.His wet black hair begged me to run my fingers through them and I was tempted to move th
Catalina's POV"What are you doing?" Her head turned to look at me. She lay on her tummy on her king-size bed with half the duvet hanging at the edge of the bed."The place is so boring. I thought I'd check out stuff online, anything to keep me from losing my mind." I rolled my eyes at her as she typed away on her laptop, her fingers running fast over the keys, pausing every few seconds before typing again.Her gaze stayed on the screen as she scrolled, probably checking online for dresses. She pulled at her hair in frustration, letting out a silent cry as her head dropped to her hands."Why are you always so dramatic, Mariana? If you'd go outside at least once, you'll realize it's not so bad," I said, looking around her room. It was large, the walls were painted black with some blue wallpaper hanging from them. The gray tiles stayed neat from Nana's cleaning as Mariana never lifted a broom. Her closet was wide open but oddly neat as beautiful dresses hung from it. Her bathroom door
Catalina's POVHeading out of the house, I heard a voice. "Where are you off to?" Auntie's soft voice called out to me. She wore a sweater Mariana got for her last birthday, I thought it was a lousy gift but she loved it."I'm off to work in the fields, I'm already late," I replied, straightening my hair, and letting fall on my back."You look different." She looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze. "Are you sure you are just working? Or did someone catch your fancy?" She gave a teasing smile"Stop it, Aunt, no one talks like that anymore." I blushed hard, avoiding her gaze."You didn't answer my question. What will you be doing?" She folded her arms with a questioning brow.I was tempted to roll my eyes but refrained from it. "I'll be working, you don't have to worry about me. Nothing is going on.""How can I not worry?" She walked down the stairway, closer to me. "You remember what happened last time, don't you?" "It won't happen again, I promise," I reassured."I just want you to be
Catalina's POVDays passed but I hadn't heard from Andre. I wasn't sure how I felt. A part of me was relieved that he listened to me but another part felt angry and hurt. He gave up so easily like what we had going on didn't matter to him.Night came slowly and I headed to my room without having dinner. I locked my door, checking twice so Nana could not burst through. The woman was old but she had the strength of a hundred men.I turned around to find a figure sitting on my bed. My breathing turned heavier as my fingers frantically searched for the light switch. The light came on, blinding me for a second. I looked quickly at my bed to find a half-naked Andre lying in it. His torso was exposed as his shirt lay on the floor. He looked at ease like he hadn't broken into my room.We started at each other for a minute. I waited for him to speak and when he didn't, I swallowed the limp in my throat and spoke up. "What are you doing here and what is that?" I asked, pointing at his naked fra
Catalina's POV"Will someone please explain to me what is going on here?" The lady who turned out to be Andre's mom yelled. She turned to Felipe, scowling at him. "I left him in your care and you let him do this?!"Felipe had his head bowed, too ashamed to speak. I felt the same, the air was getting hotter and I felt cornered. Andre was about to speak up when she rose a finger, stopping him. "Not a word from you," she said. Her face had turned red as well as her ears. She was furious.She turned to me. "You!"I was baffled. They never questioned the girl but here she was, talking to me. "What do you want with my son?" She asked as she walked up to me. "Money?" She suggested but it came out as a question.I didn't know how I felt at that moment. I was being treated like a whore. We were grown-ups, adults, and free to do whatever we pleased. I turned anxious, not liking where the situation was headed. My fingers clamped over each other as I tried to think of anything except the situatio
Catalina's POV"I'm going to ride you hard."He still didn't say a word as he gazed at me. I turned slightly, picking up his shirt. I placed it over his eyes, saying. "I don't want you to watch me.""Why is that?"I paused for a second, thinking carefully about my next words. "You have a scrutinizing gaze sometimes. It's scary.""Don't let me stop you, go on. Tie me up." He said, a smirk lying on his lips. " I want to see what you can do."I proceeded to blindfold him, a little part of agitated about what he said. I wasn't a good girl and I was going to prove it to him. My fingers lightly grazed his face. His lips thinned out, waiting for me to continue. He urged me by nudging my thigh with his knee as I was still over him.I sat softly on his thighs, my pussy just above his dick. He hissed softly but other than that, there was no reaction from him. I noticed he slightly bit his lips every few minutes. The thin flesh had me wanting to go all in, but I had other things planned.I took
Catalina's POVHe slipped my panties, freely me of the suddenly wet fabric. His hand rubbed the smooth skin and slowly, he slipped in two fingers. I gasped from the feeling which didn't seem to faze him. Instead, he thrust both fingers simultaneously causing me to throw my head back, gasping for air."Close your eyes." I obeyed instinctively, not wanting the moment to end.I felt hot breath on my inner thigh, hands pushed my thighs apart, and a wet tongue soon descended on them. He placed hot kisses everywhere. My back was still against the wall and I was starting to get uncomfortable. Pulled by my arm, my back lay flat on the bed."I won't be gentle," he whispered in my ear, his hot breath on me as he took a lobe in his mouth."Don't be." That was all that was said before the tearing of condoms filled the air and soon, he was thrusting hard in me. I cried from how rough he was being but he didn't stop and I didn't want him to. It was a mixture of pain and pleasure, something I had ne
Catalina's POV"I thought you were kidding when you said he left. Will he be back soon?" I asked as I looked about the place. Felipe was nowhere in sight which was weird because the man was everywhere.Unbuttoning and taking off his shirt, he said, "I don't think so. His wife is ill and he needs to take care of her."My eyes fell on his hardened pink buds. They looked really good and begged to be kissed. I wet my lips instantaneously, ready to devoid the man in front of me. His biceps flexed when he there the piece of clothing over his shoulders and was left in trousers hanging below his waistline."That's awful. He's too old for that. Don't they have kids?" I asked, eager to know more. My eyes searched his, waiting for a response.He shook his head. "She got into an accident a few weeks after they got married and has been bedridden ever since.""Now I feel bad for him. He has been through so much already." I felt like I was dampening the mood but I couldn't help it. Felipe was a kind
Catalina's POVA hand shook me gently, waking me up from my dreamless slumber. "It's almost morning. We should start heading back to avoid questions." He pointed towards the trucks. I sat up and took a moment to clear the sleep from my eyes. It was almost dawn and the grasses had turned wet."I don't have any clothes though." I pointed at the rag that was until a few hours ago, my dress.He looked around for a minute then his eyes fell on something. "Use this," he said as he picked up the napkin and pulled me up before wrapping me in it. It was a little short but it covered the necessities."Let's hurry." He pulled me towards my truck, his other hand occupied with the picnic basket."I'll call you," he said and ushered me into my truck, he slammed the car door softly and took some steps back, waiting for me to drive away first.I looked in the rear view mirror to find him waving at me. I smiled at the small gesture as it was really sweet.I got home a few minutes later and snuck up th
Catalina's POV"Don't go soft on me," I warned. "Give me everything you've got." My back lay bare on the soft grass. I felt every hair on my skin interacting with his, we couldn't have been closer. He pushed my hair away from my face, leaving the soft tendrils on the grass. I never did stuff like this in my past relationships, I always played it safe, never wanting to get caught in a compromising situation. The bed was always the option and in a way, the relationships ended because of me but with him, I turn wanton, crazy, and addicted. All the things I never was. My previous partners would kill to see me like this, letting the wild part of me out. A side they begged to come out but never got to see. A side of me that was too shy to come out, until now. The repressed emotions that I buried were coming out tonight."I just have to ask, do you want this? I don't think I'll be able to stop if we go further." His icy blue eyes were serious as he tried putting some space between us. Inst
Catalina's POVA picnic was laid out on the grass with Andre's fine ass making contact with the napkin. He hadn't noticed me and kept checking his watch. Slowly, I walked up to him but stumbled over a rock I didn't sight earlier. I swore out loud, my idea to sneak up on him long gone.He frowned when he turned to me. "Are you alright?" He got up. "What took you so long?""I'm sorry, I couldn't decide what to wear." I apologized as I checked my foot for bruises, my hands in my hair as I tried straightening the knots the wind caused. The brunette strands bumped with my fingers.He smirked, walking closer to me. "You are that excited, huh?" He said, commenting, referring to the mop on my hair that was a result of the wind with how fast I was driving."Don't kid yourself. It's windy and I knew it was going to be chilly so I stayed back to find something. I've been here for a while but I'm not done unpacking." I part lied easily and he fell for it."Come, I want to show you something." He
Catalina's POV"I'll agree to it." I spun to find Andre close to me. He had taken off his shirt earlier to work on the roof of the shed. His hardened man nipples gazed back at me. His chest rose and fell rapidly with sweat sliding from them."I didn't say anything." I voiced out, confusion evident in my voice. "Remember what we talked about last night?" He tried jogging my memory."Yes." I drew my words. "But what has that got to do with anything? And I thought we agreed never to speak of that." I whispered the last sentence as my eyes dashed around but everyone was busy with something else. My tensed shoulders visibly relaxed and my brows furrowed in annoyance as I hit his chest. The hard wall had my insides turning into mush. I could feel the colors coming to my cheeks."I know but I thought it through and I guess I want this as much as you do." He rubbed his chest which had turned red from my slap. A tiny part of me felt sorry but I was more interested in the conversation we were
