Maybe I was imagining things, but I was so sure that I heard Zal groan out my name last night. Ugh...maybe the drugs were just too good. This place does have very thin walls as I heard him walk around his room when morning came.
"Oscar?"
"Yes?" I didn't know why my voice was throaty. I didn't mean to be sexy, but the man was so damn fine that I was sure he had men lining up with his bad boy appearance. Huh...maybe the bad boy image is my kryptonite. I seemed to fall to Ghazi fast enough that I let him take my virginity only to have him dump me months later. God...I really need to forget about my ex.
"Breakfast will be ready in twenty, I already ordered from a nearby restaurant. Get your meds, and I'll make us coffee." His eyes darted around my room before he settled on my naked chest and for a couple of seconds I was sure I saw interest in his eyes. Was last night true? Could he jerk off imagining me?
I felt a flush of warmth up to my cheeks. I was
"You what?" I almost yelled at him before I realized I had no right to do so since I broke up with Oscar many many months ago. If he were to find another man, Zal would be the one person that I trust with Oscar's life. Maybe he was over me. That should be good, right? Shit...now I feel like a jerk for thinking about Oscar while I have Remy waiting for me in the living room."Ghazi, you tossed him months ago. Maybe you still have feelings for him, but you didn't even call him when he needed you. He was waiting for you to fucking call. I watched him. The man is fragile as a freaking virgin.""And what did you do? You kissed him. Tell me if I'm wrong." I knew I sounded like a jerk. Zal and I rarely fight, but when we do we tend to do it the harsh way."You're not wrong, this is why I'm telling you because I don't like secrets between us. I want you to know. I need you to tell me that this is okay, cause as much as I like the guy. You're still my family."His
"Hey Remy," Jacqueline greeted and I smiled at her, fully aware that it didn't even feel genuine. "Oh, honey...is everything okay?""Ugh...you know me so well, don't you?" I sat down throwing her another reluctant smile.Since the first moment Ghazi introduced me to Jacqueline, I knew she was a good person. She may have a questionable line of work, but she said that she enjoyed being a sugar baby. And Ghazi did shower her with gifts and vacation destinations that I wouldn't even dream of until I met the Iranian businessman."Is it Ghazi? You sounded a bit worried on the phone.""It's just that...he's been distant lately, though he has been sexually fulfilling." I shrugged with a little smile on my face, remembering our last intimate session. "He's also been very generous, but there were these calls...oh Jacqueline, I'm so overwhelmed with his affection that I don't know if I'm overanalyzing stuff or if he's keeping something from me."Jacqueline pu
I nearly panicked when I was told that Remy left the building, walked around the nearby area and now sitting in a park, alone, in the dark. I was glad that I had one of our men watching him. He reported earlier that Remy met with Jacqueline for coffee, before going straight back to the apartment. But afterward, he just walked around aimlessly. I tried calling his phone but he was not picking up, only to find out later that he left it on the kitchen counter.Now that I have him in my arms I should feel better, but instead, I feel horrible, thinking everything was somehow my fault. Even our intimacy seemed different like there was something more that he was keeping from me. He felt fragile in my arms, sensing that he could break any moment. I still didn't get why he kept on thinking that I would leave him. The guilt was so much that I decided to just hold him."Why don't you take a nap, I'll order dinner. Okay?"When I was back, Remy was wide awake. His eyes were
I said no to Bora Bora, I need to learn not to keep my hopes up. I told Ghazi to focus on his work while I promised to keep myself busy by working at the new store. I forced myself to contact the interior designer he suggested and put Ghazi's black card to good use. At least when he's done with me he'd have the place renovated and ready to be leased out or even sold.My chest still hurt with the longing. I heard him say that he was mine, but people changed their minds every day. Feelings could change and I know it'll be a question of when rather than if. I love the guy and I would never entrapped him to spend his life when he can be happy with someone else."Remy, I still think you should talk to him. You don't look happy." Jacqueline said from the other side of the screen when her video call came through."I...I am happy. It's just... this is me, Jacqueline. This is not the first time, people will eventually get bored with me.""Oh honey, I'd never..."
My heart warmed seeing Remy curled up to my side when I woke up the next day. He looked perfectly handsome even with his eyes closed. I carefully scooted away and let him take my pillow, curling it to his chest before he was back to let out the cutest little snoring sounds.My meeting was scheduled at noon, a luncheon with my father's business partners that would benefit when I ended everything with my uncles. I met a couple of them, several times when Dad was still alive. Though my parents' disappearance is still a mystery, it was common knowledge now that I suspected my uncles had something to do with it.I needed to nip them in the bud. I needed to make sure my uncles wouldn't ruin my plans. They said that they knew the organization better than me, but what my uncles' didn't know was that I keep in touch with my parents' colleagues. Those who had been screwed by my uncles. I had been going behind my uncles back for years, dealing businesses with them, feeding them l
"We've been trying to find out who has been stalking her. And we know that she went with you to Capri and we know that you deal with various kinds of organization." Grady one of Jacqueline's boyfriends explained. His twin brother, Percy, was looking out the floor-to-ceiling window of their penthouse seeming deep in thought.Okay...if they're saying that Jacqueline has a stalker then I need to investigate further. Because now I have Remy living with me. My boyfriend was hurriedly ushered upstairs by Jacqueline the moment we arrived at their penthouse."I'm in the middle of bringing down important people in my organization. But I will look into Jacqueline's issue, she's been nothing but kind to me and Remy. And now that I have Remy living with me, if someone from my side is stalking her then Remy too can be threatened.""Is there an immediate threat that made you want to shake things up?" Percy asked, his face was calm as he took another sip of his drink. But I co
Ghazi had been working too damn hard lately and I was seeing less and less of him. Okay maybe I'm just that needy, but I was so horny for him that I waited in my new pair of skimpy briefs and matching baby blue socks that went up to my knees.I positioned myself on the end of the bed. I was on my back, my head on the edge, my knees bent and sprawled, ready for him. I played on my phone just waiting to greet him by watching gay porn and making myself hard for him. I even got a surprise for him hidden where he least expected. I smiled wickedly when I took a selfie of my current position and sent it to him.Me: Do you like my new socks?Ghazi: Fuck, yes. Order more. Get some that reach your thighs. I grinned before typing back my answer.Me: Pastels? Or rich sexy colors?Ghazi: Pastels and nude. I'm on my way back. I didn't reply to his text. Instead, I ordered more me
I heard him say it last night. Remy said that he loved me. I was pretty sure he was out of it, but still, my body tensed when he said it. And when morning came he appeared like his usual self. Flirty, adorable, while sauntering out of our bedroom with his socks from last night and one of my shirts that barely covered his creamy thighs. God, I remembered how those thighs wrapped around my waist, flexing beautifully as he reached his climax."Ghazi," he kissed my jaw before sneakily grabbing my fresh cup of coffee and taking a big gulp of it. "Ugh...I still can't get used to your coffee.""It's not my coffee, lots of people like double-shot espresso in the morning." I kissed him and felt his bare ass underneath. I groaned when he pressed against my groin. Deepening our kiss, I was fully aware that he was still sore from our last night's debauchery. "You're sore. Be a good boy for me and stop being naughty for a day?""Mmm...you know I'm not good with promising you
It has been a month since baby Zeke stayed with us and we adopted him as our own. My Oscar had been glowing, I know it was not possible and I was probably too in love with him to see that he was still the same man I married three years ago. But his affection towards our baby was adorable as fuck and it made him extra happy. The smile on his face had made him even more deliciously beautiful in my eyes.The day after we found baby Zeke in the back of my car, my men confirmed that a young woman had left her baby in the backseat. The surveillance camera showed the footage of how she tried several car doors before finding mine was unlocked and putting her baby and the bag inside it. A few days later after a long talk between us and Oscar’s family lawyer, we had agreed to go through with the adoption process. A month later and with a very good family lawyer handling our paperwork, baby Zeke is ours.“God, you really are that smitten aren’t you?” My co
Three years laterZal was late, I was waiting for him with a cup of coffee in my hand. The forest house has been our favorite vacation home since the first time we came here to hide out.I remembered that day as the same day after I buried my dad, though I didn’t remember why we went there aside that it was done to keep us safe.And since I told Zal that I loved the house, my sweet loving husband had secured the place for us by buying it from Ghazi. Up until today, I have no idea how much money he makes nor do I care. I love the man and I love how he adored me and kept me safe.I smiled when I saw the headlights of his car. The house’s surveillance camera confirmed his arrival and I was stepping out of the foyer to greet him in front of the house. I missed him, I just got back from a business trip with Rena while he had his own thing to do. We had arranged to meet up at the forest house, so here we are.As Zal’s c
Meeting my mom and my sister at Dad’s funeral wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Sure they grieved for their loss but more so they both looked lost. They didn’t even think twice seeing me with a wedding ring, Zal by my side, and his hand on the small of my back.“Should we go back to London after this?” My sister asked quietly.Last night while staying in one of their safe houses in the city, Zal and I talked and we decided to get them settled back here once we were deemed safe by Ghazi. He told me that it was safer for them to be in the city where his men could look out for them.“It’s best that you do. Go back to London after the funeral and pack everything up, both of you will go back to the main residence. Felicity, my PA will help you with the movers, she will go to London if needed. I will stay with my husband and resume my duties with the family business. I will take care of both of you, Zal, and I will.&rdq
“Felicity,” Oscar greeted the older woman who I learned had been working for him for years. Yes, I have looked into her background and everything checked out perfectly. There was nothing to worry about her.“Boss, how are you?”“Better now that you are here, thank you for the coffee.”“It’s your favorite, though I am still pissed at you for leaving me behind to sort out your mess when you elope with your hot boyfriend.”I wanted to laugh at her bravery in criticizing her boss, my Oscar, though I knew she was doing it because she cared about my husband. Just like how she cared enough to bring him coffee and show me that she was pissed at me for not giving me the same treatment.“And as for you, young man, if you do love your husband I expect you to take care of him.”“Yes, mam.” I smiled sweetly at the older woman and decided to leave them to discuss things that nee
Zal woke me up every couple of hours that night saying Doc told him to, something about making sure that I didn't have a concussion. I barely remembered what happened with my dad. What I do remember was Dad and I yelling then he let two men into my office. Big guy and I saw Felicity moved away from her desk though her eyes never left mine.I should've questioned why my floor was empty aside from the front desk and my PA, felicity. But I just assumed they were having a big floor meeting, and since I've been away from the office I thought I'd ask about it later with Felicity after the meeting with my dad.Though the situation went from bad to worse when the two men closed the door behind them. I started to panicked. I got startled when one of the pointed a gun at me. I looked at my dad and the calmly told me to go with them and that everything will sort itself. I didn't know exactly when everything went wrong, aside that I struggled in their hold and managed to get the g
I didn’t tell him that I was worried about him, about what his dad was planning behind his back. Fortunately, Oscar was more than happy to have my men shadowing him from a distance. I went straight to Ghazi’s place after dropping him off at his office building. He kissed me and told me that he loved me before exiting the car and assured me he wouldn’t be taking a whole day at the office. I nodded telling him to call me when he’s ready to go home and I’ll pick him up.“Married life looks good on you, cousin.” Ghazi greeted me the second I entered his home office.“Yeah? Thanks, I just need to make sure Oscar’s dad knows where he’s standing before I can take my new husband for a real honeymoon.”Ghazi’s smile flattered the second I mentioned Oscar’s dad. Not the man is a dangerous person, but Ghazi and I know enough that even the most quiet bear gets vicious when poked. With Oscar leavin
The happiness didn’t last long, not when I heard my dad’s ringtone. Yes, I know Zal would make fun of me for the Darth Vader ringtone, though my mind was occupied with other things. Such us the implication that I haven’t gone back to the office since I emailed dearest Dad my resignation letter. The resignation letter that he just must’ve read knowing it would be buried with other more important emails in his inbox.“Son, what is the meaning of your resignation letter? You’re the heir. You can’t just quit the family business! And why was I notified that your name popped up in Vegas and our lawyer informing that you’d gone off and got married to a man?”“Dad, I love him. I know you would never agree so I quit,”“Fucking hell, Oscar, you do not go off and marry some thug in Vegas. We are a respectable family. If you really need to marry a man at least married the well bred ones. There are plent
The next day I woke up with my new husband’s leg wrapped around mine. Last night we spent hours professing our eternal love for each other. We ended up in the shower to rinse the sweat and cum before getting back on the bed and holding Oscar as he drifted off to sleep.“Morning, baby,”“Mmhm...morning,” Oscar greeted me with a small peck on my lips as I handed him the steaming hot coffee I made minutes earlier after I woke up and called room service for our breakfast.“How are you feeling?”“Like I just got married and my new sexy husband needs to get naked and present me with breakfast.” He said with a deadpan expression before he drank his coffee. I laughed and set it aside beside my cup, pulling his still-naked body to straddle mine.“I love you, my dear husband. I’m ordering breakfast. It’ll be here soon, We’ll eat then we do the sexy stuff. How’s that?”
The flight to Vegas didn’t take long while I ate with a nervous stomach. It helped that Ghazi and Remy gave us some privacy after dinner by sitting across the aisle from us. It was not much, but it helped calm down my nerves.I still have no idea how Zal managed to persuade me to fly with him to Vegas to marry him. My family will surely disown me when they find out. Though thinking about it more, I realized that I had made up my mind and chose Zal before them. I wanted to be happy. Looking across the aisle at Remy and Ghazi, I know I would be looking at my future with Zal as my husband. I could finally have what they have. I have been wearing his ring anyway, I might as well take the final leap and marry my man.We all changed into our suits after dinner. The suits I didn’t know he packed, along with an overnight bag for our brief honeymoon Zal had planned behind my back.“Oh, Zal, this is perfect,”When I thought about Vegas weddi
