Theodore

He was avoiding every call. From his parents, Alice, Jonathan, Lionel, everyone. So, he wasn’t surprised when he found Jonathan at his door.

Theo exited his car and started walking towards the door as if it was usual seeing his brother there. He was in for a berating, and he didn’t care.

His parents were angry for calling off a wedding whose preparations were undergoing. His sister-in-law was furious for upsetting her friend. His brother was ready to teach him a lesson. No one was really ready to calm down and ask him what was the reason.

So, Theo kept walking. But then Jonathan’s hand landed on Theo’s shoulder and he turned away furiously.

“What is it, John? You wanna scold me? You wanna call me names for leaving Kim? Do it now. Come on. I am listening.”

    Theodore He was punching the bag as hard as he could but his anger was not assuaging at all. She hates me. She hates me. She hates me. These were the only thoughts in his mind. She said that he snatched her dreams. Which dream was she talking about? Theodore’s hands were not stopping at all and so was his mind, but he couldn’t let Natalie think the worst of him.

No parents want it.But most of all, Natalie had herself to blame.

Do they lack news to print or their editors are nuts, printing stupid stories?”He said that but somewhere Natalie knew that he was blaming her. Heck! Natalie herself was blaming herself.

You didn’t even let us throw a bachelor party. It was only Sammy and her.

We will fly to Paris on Friday…” But Natalie cut him off.“Sorry, baby.”Theodore sighed. “Ok, did you have dinner?”Natalie refused.“OK, then. I am bringing Chinese.” He spoke, and Natalie asked. “Will you feed me?”Theodore smiled. “Of course, I will.”Natalie was smiling as she hung up. Theo was the most supportive man she had seen. He never complained about her work but encouraged her. He himself worked odd hours after all.It had only been a month and he had made her move in with him. Her father had no objections to their dating now. Theodore’s family had come onboard too. Ashley was a little icy, but Natalie knew that she will win her ove

He always liked her breasts and when he sucked on them after so long, Natalie came violently. She couldn’t help it. She was hot all over and he was not helping her at all, by kissing her breasts and fucking her with his finger at the same time.“Please fuck me, Theo. Please. I need you.”She almost sobbed and Theo obliged.She saw him with hooded eyes as he carefully ran the head of his cock against her wet pussy lips. Their eyes met, and he pushed himself inside her warm channel. She felt full to the brim as his large cock invaded her pussy.“Ahhhh……” She moaned and closed her eyes.Her hands reached for his and their fingers entwined.“It feels good, Theo. It feels so good.” She opened her eyes and he bent over her to kiss her.He started moving inside her and Natalie couldn’t help but moan as his cock’s girth rubbed on her pussy walls, making her squeez

    TheodoreThe place was dark. He had not turned on any lights. The only lights he could see was at the LA’s skyline and the sparkling stars in the sky.He sipped the whiskey and let it burn.He was drinking since the moment he had dropped Natalie back at her place. It had taken him great self-control to just sit in the car and not walk her to the door. To not ask her to let him enter and push her against the next wall. To not take her lips in his and kiss the hell out of her, kiss her so bad that her mind will remember only one name and that’s Theo. To not tell her that the wait was killing him and he couldn’t bear it anymore. To not tell her how much he loved her.Theo had controlled. He had come here, because the last night he had spent here with her was all he had.He had come here with the hope that her scent must be lingering. But it was gone. The place was cleaned.The time spent with her today had been pure torture. He had to act like a stranger to her. His fingers were twitchin

Shane might be a celebrity player, but they were going to have a modest wedding with only close family and friends.Mindy was very clear about what she wanted and Natalie helped her with it.“Let me call Shane.” Mindy spoke and went out, leaving Natalie alone with Shane’s mother, who had some wonderful insights on the wedding planning. After all, she was also dreaming of her son’s wedding for years.“So, how long do you know Theodore?” His mother asked.Natalie thought about it and then answered truthfully. “A few months.”“And what do you think about him?”The question wasn’t unexpected. After hearing her thoughts at the lunch, Natalie had figured out that his mother wanted them to be an item.“I don’t think I know him enough to form an opinion. You know him much better than I do, I guess. What do you say? Is the guy worth one risking the heart?”It was a bold question and made Shane’s mother smile. “I know him s

    TheodoreNatalie was looking breathtaking as always. Although, she was pale and skinny, and he wanted to know why.But he guessed that it was not his place to ask her personal questions. He didn’t say much about the twinning comment too.The ride to Shane’s place was an emotional roller-coaster for him. There had been many rides in the past with Natalie, but this time, he couldn’t hold her hand. He couldn’t tell her that he wanted to kiss her beautiful lips, he wanted to let her know that she looked elegant in that attire, and that he was losing control.Shane was warm as always. He came from a modest family. He had lost his father to a cardiac arrest a few years back. It was just his mother now. His elder brother lived in Connecticut with his family.Shane and Theodore had been attracted towards each other in college due to the fact that Theodore was reserved. He was among a pretentious crowd, the kids of the families like his who believed that Yale was made for them.Shane was a sch

    NatalieShe hung up and came back to the table where William looked at her with raised brows over his glass of wine.“What’s the matter?”Natalie was red with anger. “That friend of yours. Guess where he is?”“Where?” William asked.“Control. That gentleman is raiding the corridors of Control when I am nervous here. When I am thinking that I wronged the man I love, he is fucking other women there.”“How do you know that’s what he is doing?”Natalie huffed at the question. “What else he must be doing?”She was angry. So much angry and she had no idea why she was feeling that way. She didn’t want to cry but they threatened her eyes. How could he? Has he moved on? Does he not love her anymore? The idea of him touching other women was repulsive and made Natalie anxious. She couldn’t take it. The jealousy was flowing through her blood right now. She blew air through her mouth and asked William, “Did I push him too far, Will? Does he not love me anymore?”“Oh, my fucking God, Nat. Are yo

He gulped down the bitter cognac and looked around but Lionel wasn’t anywhere.In the past few months, Theodore had not visited “Control” at all. First, he loved Natalie and there were no women here now who could interest him.After the first few days after Jacobs, Theo had a faint hope in his heart that Natalie will call him. She will come to see him. But until now, she had not even tried to establish any contact with him. He had tried his best not to come across her. Because if she didn’t want to see him, he will not bother her.It was hard getting over her. For him, she was the only one. Her beautiful smile was the first thing he still saw when he woke up. He had a beautiful picture of hers framed and set on his bedside.Now, he was all alone, and was wondering if she will ever come to him.But then it happened. His phone buzzed. He pulled it out and his heart skipped a beat.It was her. She was calling him. Afte

    NatalieIt had been a month since Natalie was working at “We Do” and she had realized that she was better as an intern than the CEO. There were a lot many things that she had to manage now and she was trying to juggle like an expert.Right now, she was in the meeting because no matter what they did, the revenues were stubborn and stuck at the bottom.“The number of orders is still at a very low point. What are we supposed to do to increase them? Our existing strategies aren’t working.”Natalie was chewing the tail of the pencil, then she recalled how she had come to know about Keira.She spoke out of the blue. “All we need is one celebrity wedding.”Everyone was silent and looked at her. She looked at the expectant faces and elaborated. “Keira gained fame overnight after she bagged Nora Thorne’s wedding contract. All we need is that one person who is a celebrity and set to marry this year. Since our LA is bustling with celebrities, we need to bag just one person from the Stripe and I

This place could never look great even with all the Christmas lights on it.He exited the car and asked the driver to wait.It was a place where Theodore couldn’t leave his Jaguar unattended.He buttoned up his suit jacket and looked around. The silence was everywhere.Theodore was expected here, and he took the few stairs to the building.The guard asked him to enter his details and then guided him through a door.Officer Marshal met him at the desk and stood up to shake Theodore’s hand.“He is right where you wanted him to be.” He informed Theodore and then guided him to a room upstairs.
