Sam ran out of Leigh’s room. She was hurrying back to her room to get her hands on her phone and call Rocky ASAP.Though Leigh had agreed to come out of the shadows and be the real Leigh Michaels, she could not persuade her best friend from leaving for Somerset. “She’s going home.” She told Rocky over the phone.“Stall her. Don’t let her leave my house. I am a few blocks away.” “Where have you been, Rocky?” Sam could not help but ask. She is becoming quite exasperated with the pair with their cat-and-mouse game. “I think you better stop hiding.” “I am not hiding.” Rocky’s abrupt reply came through the phone. “So what are you doing?” Sam demanded. “Err…”“What?” “I am trying to avoid temptation. Leigh is one big temptation.” Rocky admitted in a barely inaudible voice. Sam laughed. “You are a fool.” Sam breathed on the other line. Silence. There was tension after that. Sam realized that she said something she shouldn’t and caught her tongue. She knew what would come next
Chapter 35 - Sam was worried. She kept pacing the hallway, hoping the door to Leigh’s room would open anytime soon, but no such luck. It remained closed while she and Kade waited outside. “What is taking them so long?” She could not help but complain to her companion. Kade chuckled, not the least bit concerned. “Don’t ask.” He told her when his mirth subsided.Instead of assuring her, Kade's words had the opposite effect. Seeing, she won't get any help from her companion, Sam pressed her ears to the door, hoping to hear any sound, but she heard nothing.At first, there was shouting. It sounded like Rocky and Leigh were arguing, but now, there was silence, and Sam was becoming worried. She blamed herself. "I shouldn't have called Rocky," she lamented, but a quick look to her side told her she had spoken aloud. "Why do you have Rocky's number?" A doubtful look replaced Kade's previously indulgent look, his tone becoming suspicious. Sam backed away. Kade's question caugh
“What is this?” Aunt Evelyn bit out when she got the attention of the two people who were naked on the bed.Leigh gasped, while Rocky met his mom’s glare with a glare of his own.“Mom, Aunt Leslie, what are you doing here barging in on us?” Rocky turned his and Leigh over so Leigh would end up fully covered with his body.Aunt Evelyn, aware of his son's temper, ignored his indignant tone. She walked until she reached the foot of the bed and bent to pick up something on the floor.When she waved it in the air, Leigh realized it was her comforter.Aunt Evelyn covered her son's naked butt, her face wrinkling in distaste. Her mom, on the other hand, had her face averted, but the pink stain in her cheeks was quite telling."You're not a porn star, Rocky."Aunt Evelyn’s thundering voice caught Leigh’s attention once agai
Leigh froze. She did not know what to do. In all honesty, she was flummoxed by this turn of events. Their families had been talking about this for years - grew up with this thought in mind, but that was in the far future. Not now!Leigh’s body shook just thinking about it happening in the next few days. They are getting married.Her breathing quickened and slowed at the thought. Then, it picked up and slowed once more.She felt excitement rushing through her veins while at the same time, she felt an unexplainable dread.She did not understand herself anymore. She wanted this and now that it was right in front of her it scared her sh*tless! She thought about what this meant to Rocky and her mind drowned with too many unanswered questions.What about Regina? That question was foremost on her mind. Leigh shook her head in incredulity.Her parents are
Today is her wedding day.“Rise and shine, our beautiful bride. The groom is waiting.” Aunt Evelyn and Leigh’s mom announced in a sing-song voice while they opened the brocade curtain allowing the sunbeams to slant through the window and reach her face.Groaning, Leigh opened one eye and shut it back quickly when the sun's rays hit her. She was still sleepy.Even under the haze of sleep, she blames Rocky for the sleeplessness, recalling what he did last night.Rocky insisted on sleeping beside her and was adamant when she suggested they sleep separately, claiming they needed the practice.She relented as usual and let Rocky have his way, but they did not get to sleep until the wee hours.At the reminder, warmth spreads through her cheek. She turned to her side, ready to hit him, surprised she did not find him there.“Where is Rocky?” Th
"Adam! Adam! Wait!" Leigh called right after she saw Adam jump out of his seat right after Mr. Wicker's class. He ignored her, prompting her to chase after him. “Adam!” She called, right hand raised. Exasperated, Leigh put her hands down to her sides, seeing she's only getting other people's attention but not the one she wanted to attract the attention of. Thinking she would get much better results, she run after Adam, ignoring Sam's call behind her. Because he is an athlete with an agile body and long legs, Adam moved way too fast for her, leaving a good distance between them. He jogged outside the building, crossing the track field, but he was no match for a determined person like her. Even if it looked unladylike, she sprinted, not caring how she looked with her hair flying and her jacket flapping in the wind. She had to catch him. In the middle of the track, a group of practicing runners stopped blocking his path. Adam was forced to stop, giving Leigh the chance to cat
When Leigh got her bearing, she started struggling until her captor stopped. Angrily, she turned her head around to confront whoever it was that had the gall to snatch her away, surprised to see her best friend behind her. “Where have you been?” Sam asked, looking frantic.Dragging Leigh away from her next class’s building, she brought them back to their dormitory which somehow surprised Leigh. “What the h*ll, Sam? What are you doing?” Leigh struggled from Sam’s hold, twisting her arm around, trying to free her arm from Sam’s grasp, but her friend was unusually strong. Leigh could not pry her arm away. She gave up. She stopped struggling and let Sam take her wherever. Sam temporarily released her arm to get her keys to open their room before she gestured for Leigh to get in. Leigh grudgingly did. She strode inside and clambered up her unmade bed to sulk. Sam joined her. She, too, jumped on the bed, asking. “Where were you? I have been looking everywhere for you.” The
Rocky screeched his car to a halt in front of Chillz, the bar he and his friends frequented. He got out of the car, threw his keys to the waiting valet, and walked the dark halls until he reached the second floor that houses the VIP lounges. Rocky and his friends co-owned the bar. It was newly built and boasts an inviting, comfy, and relaxing vibe. There Rocky was greeted by Kade when he walked in the door.“What took you so long?” Kade whispered. He looked harassed. “We sent our parents to the airport and I drove Leigh back home.” He replied before checking the center of the room where the mini-bar was set up, and a woman slumped on it.“Where’s Rocky? Tell him I won’t leave unless he fetches me.” Regina slurred in her drunkenness.Rocky whispered again to Kade, eyes that had grown steely fixed on Regina. “

It was a glorious day. It was a Sunday, his grand wedding day!After Leigh agreed to marry him again, they ran back to the other house to tell everyone. They were greeted with congratulations, hugs, kisses, and warm pats on the back.“I want us to be married right away,” Rocky told their parents, and Leigh agreed. She does not need a grand wedding. She only needed Rocky, Axel, their families, and friends to be at the wedding. Her father agreed because he wanted to leave as early as possible with her mom for their tour. It was Rocky’s mother who objected. “I wanted a grand wedding, Rocky.”While the parents argued and discussed the wedding, Rocky dragged her to her feet. They slipped out of the house without their parents noticing. “Where are we going?” She asked, confused when he bundled her into his waiting car. “Let them plan a grand wedding, but I want to marry you now. I can’t wait. I want you to wear my ring on your finger when I make love to you for the first time after f
“Aw, Axel, my man!” Rocky groaned before nuzzling her neck to cover his red-from-arousal face. Leigh giggled, tickled as his breath fanned her skin. Axel chose that moment to swing on his father’s back and ride him like a horse. They almost toppled over to the bed, pressing Leigh if not for Rocky’s quick thinking. He braced his hand on the bed for support, allowing Leigh to scoot farther from the two. She laughed when he saw Rocky’s insufferable look but knew he was faking it. He loves playing with his son. She blew him a kiss, and he caught it in the air before placing his hand on his lips, making smooching sounds that had her double up in laughter. In the short time they were together, Leigh found out about Rocky’s playful side, something that surprised her. He used to tease her, sparking her anger that would later explode into verbal fights. She realized Rocky did not know how to treat her back then. He was unsure of her feelings as she was unsure of him. But when the
Stepping out of her father's office, they saw Axel waiting at the visitor’s lounge with Gemma, her father’s secretary. Everyone in her father’s office was surprised when Axel shouted, “Mommy!” Axel was like a human dynamo. He hurled himself at Leigh, but when Leigh caught him, he squirmed and launched himself at his father next.“Daddy!” Rocky Bolton smiled, snagging his son mid-air to catch him and swing him up to ride his shoulders. “Who were you with?” “Grandma,” Axel said.Then, Rocky pulled Leigh close. Together, they walked out of Adam Michaels's floor. When they passed by employees, Leigh could not help tensing up, feeling shy all of a sudden. She was reminded of the spectacle she made at the facade of the building. By now, she was sure everybody already knew about her and Rocky Bolton especially since her son took after his father a lot. Everyone who sees them together would not mistake the connection. On the other hand, Rocky had a different interpretation of the cu
Adam Michaels looked like he was ready to throw a fit.He was flushed red in anger.His strides were long and swift, with hands clenched to the sides while Leigh, Rocky, and Sam followed him.They invited curious stares, looking like a mini-parade on their way to the elevator bay, except everyone steered clear of them. The murderous look on Adam Michaels’ face was enough to scare people away.They rode the elevator with Adam bringing the front while his daughter Leigh, Rocky, and Sam followed like meek children who got into trouble and were awaiting punishment at the principal’s office.They stopped on his floor. His secretary was shocked to see him followed by his daughter, a man she presumed to be the infamous Rocky Bolton because she had been tipped earlier about the scuffle at the entrance, and Sam Adams.Mr. Michaels, just when he was about to enter his room, changed his mind at the last s
“Where have you been?” Rocky slowed down upon hearing the familiar voice of his mother.A smile broke his lips when he saw his parents sitting on the L-shaped couch in the living room, waiting for him.“Mom, dad. What brought you here?” He asked, surprised at the unexpected arrival of his parents. It had been too long since he last saw them.“Are you just going in? Where have you been?”Evelyn Bolton took a long look at her son and knew Rocky had spent the night elsewhere. She walked over to him, suspiciously taking a whiff of his neck.“No trace of alcohol. Hmm.” 
Rocky drove fast, pressing on the throttle to accelerate their speed upon learning from Leigh that Axel was crying. “Did something happen?” He asked worriedly, thinking his son needs to see a doctor. Leigh frowned absently at him. “No. He woke up and did not find me there.” Rocky covered her hand with his. Leigh sounded guilty. He, too, felt partially guilty that they had to leave Axel, but not about the talk. They needed that talk. In no time, they reached the Michaels' home. Before Rocky could turn the engine off, the door to the passenger side opened, and Leigh got out. She rushed back to see Axel and stopped when she found her son huddled in the corner of the plant box, bawling his eyes out. Something twitched inside as guilt and shame washed over her. A mother can't help feeling that way because, for a mom, a child's welfare will always come first. “Where did you go?” Adam Michaels cried when she gathered Axel in her arms and hoisted him up. Rocky was hot on her he
They were both panting when they both came up for air. Leigh looked down to see Rocky’s head thrown back and shutting his eyes as he let his face ride her orga*m.It was a huge turn-on. Leigh found her hands fisting Rocky's glorious ink-black hair to drag his face up her body. His lips made a teasing line from the apex of her thighs up to her chest. He nuzzled her neck before his lips finally landed on hers for an ardent kiss. “I love you.” Rocky breathed.Leigh purred her contentment before pushing him off her, reversing their roles. The declaration of love awakens the aggressor in her. She attacked his lips as the predator who wanted to give him full service. Rocky saw her intent, eyes blazing hot coals, and declined the offer. “No.”“But, you haven’t…” Leigh said, pointing to his hard c*ck that needed instant gratification and release. Rocky quickly covered himself before giving Leigh her nightie, undie, and terry cloth robe.“What the h*ll, Rocky? Why are you denying m
“What did you do, man?” Kade was already waiting in his office when he arrived. Rocky plopped on the couch next to Kade and tiredly leaned his head on its back. “I am desperate, man. The sooner I get my wife and son, the better for my peace of mind.” “But you are doing it all wrong. You are inviting trouble from Michaels by doing this. And look!” Kade showed him a viral post an hour ago. It was him! People are speculating, eagerly wanting to know the mystery that shrouded the entire event. Their curiosity whetted. They started asking questions as to why a well-known businessman like Rocky Bolton would appear in front of Michaels's building. “Some people think you are pulling a stunt like this as a business strategy. You wanted to gain leverage for your contracts.” Kade added, sounding concerned. Rocky shook his head, rubbing his hands through his hair in frustration. “I am at my wit's end, Kade. If I do not act right away Leigh and Axel might be taken away in a fl
