"Ugh...I'm really not happy about this newfound hobby of yours." I grunted but not before slipping my hands around his waist, pulling him back for a kiss.
"Your lovely French chef gave me her mother's recipe for chocolate cake." He muttered while carefully taking the cake out of the oven and setting it aside to cool.
"Looks like brownies to me," I shrugged only to get elbowed by him as he dramatically gasped demanding me to take my words back. To which I just laughed at him. This...this was what I love about him, everything with him is so easy.
"Ghazi! Get your naughty fingers away from my cake. It needs to cool before slicing, I want to top it with the vanilla ice cream."
"Okay, you lost me at my naughty fingers and your cake," I commented coyly while wiggling my eyebrows. Remy laughed and slapped my arm playfully.
"Come on, let's get you out of the kitchen." He to

"Ghazi is everything okay?" Remy greeted me at the door.I already texted him that I was on my way back, I didn't want him to worry about me. And seeing Remy, I just know that I couldn't keep the facts about Oscar from him."No. I need to talk to you about something.""You want a drink?" My sweet Remy was so nervous that he felt obligated to tend to my needs."Why don't you sit down, I'll get us something to drink." I kissed his forehead and he nodded, taking a seat on the living room sofa. His hands were on his lap as he sat straight, his eyes never leave me. He was watching me as if he was trying to read my thoughts.I put coke in his rum, after adding some lime juice and ice cubes. I knew I needed something strong for the conversation as I drank one shot straight before making another glass of rum and coke for myself. Bringing the two glasses, I gave one to Remy before sitting by his side and slowly drinking from my glass."I met with Zal
The Professional Bed Warmer 65. Remy meets Oscar
I woke up sometime after midnight only to find Ghazi was gone. His side of the bed was cold, meaning he had woken up and left me probably hours ago. And here I was, expected to still love him while he was probably fetching his ex from his uncles grasps.God...why do I keep on doing this to myself? The familiar ache under my chest forced me to get up. My eyes heated when I felt the trickle of tears trailing down my cheeks. "Fuck..." I cursed feeling stupid when I decided to let go, grabbing fresh tissues to dry my tears and blow my nose. Not at all beautiful as Ghazi makes me out to be. I was pathetic, sad, bleary eyes complete with a runny red nose from too much crying.I eventually got myself up and went to the bathroom, splashing my face with cold water and trying to toughen myself up. This was not the first time, I've gone through worse and I survived. So what if Ghazi still loves Oscar and his ex still loves him too? I love Ghazi as I know he loves me too, so this
The Professional Bed Warmer 66. Oscar was letting go
The hope I felt when Ghazi finally came to my rescue was gone in an instant. The moment I saw how Ghazi looked at Remy, I realized it was the way he used to look at me. I didn't know that you could break a broken heart, but I was feeling it.I did a stupid thing when I broke things off with Zal. I hoped that Ghazi was still in love with me, and somehow in my fucked up mind, I wished that there was still something between us."I'm sorry Ghazi, I shouldn't even be here. I don't get why you told Zal to bring me here." Or was it something Zal wanted, he was probably washing his hands off me. He was probably glad that he didn't have to take care of my stupid self. God...I wished those guys killed me. It would be less humiliating for me."Oscar, don't...we had something. I loved you. I still care for you."I winced when his words shattered my heart all over again. Fuck these feelings. The man said it. He loved me. As in the past."I know. You should prob
The Professional Bed Warmer 67. Zal wanted revenge
Both Ghazi's uncles, Bijan and Reza, were in hiding. They got hurt when Ghazi and I shot them the night we rescued Oscar. They were wearing bulletproof vests, they had guards covering their exits, and they managed to slip away before we could put a bullet between their eyes. I was sure that at least both of them were bleeding, but I needed to find them. My hunger for their blood was feral to the point that I needed to have my revenge. They hurt Oscar and I had to calm down my frustration when he was taken back to Ghazi's. I need to let my cousin shelter him because I need to find those bastards who dared to touch my Oscar.One of my men had detained the executor, he was the one who was responsible for Oscar's bloodied and bruised face and torso. My man was badly hurt and I hated when Ghazi told me that Oscar was to stay at his place while all I wanted to do was to take care of him. Yes, I was stupid enough to still want to take care of him. No matter how easy it was for him t
The Professional Bed Warmer 68. Remy was finally happy
It was two weeks after Oscar left the apartment when we finally heard the news. Ghazi was busy at his home office the moment his cousin, Zal, burst into the penthouse. Since the fiasco with his uncles, Ghazi has been busy communicating with his new business partners. The cartel was more than just muscling themselves into someone else's business. It took a certain kind of finesse, and Ghazi has been going back and forth with deals and talk of loss and profits with his dad's old business partners.Lately, I've been watching Ghazi work from home. Mostly in the afternoon, where I sat in his home office with my sketch pad, quietly doing my designs. It brought me comfortable feelings whenever I was in the same room as him. I would hear his voice while he was on the phone, watch him work, and sometimes catch him looking at me. I was in my happy space whenever he was near, and I am really glad that I fought for him. That I wanted him badly enough, and that he wanted me too.I
The Professional Bed Warmer 69. Epilogue Part One
Remy the Husband-to-beWhen the wedding date was finally coming around the corner, I still couldn't believe that I was going to marry the man that I love. It took Jacqueline three months for her to prepare my wedding since she didn't get to prepare hers. She was going all out and all I was allowed to do was give my opinion or just sit and be pretty, her words not mine, especially in the last three days.With each opinion she asked me regarding the wedding, I was getting nervous. Though I knew that the event was going to be beautiful, it was going to be perfect. I have my faith in Jacqueline. The wedding venue was booked, and the seating arrangement was done. I love how she gave me perfect floral arrangements and color schemes. The guest list was composed and invitations were sent. The tuxes were tailored and had arrived. It was a surreal feeling to see the white and black tux, knowing that the time was closing in. I was nervous and excited at the same

Ghazi the Husband-for-lifeI was nervous about the wedding. Jacqueline insisted that she took Remy for a whole spa day to relax his mind. She did ask for my permission which I reluctantly gave. I only agreed because...well, she's Jacqueline and just like Remy, I was unable to say no to her. She had become more than our best friend, she had become a family and because of that, I let her take Remy away from me for a whole twenty-four hours."I hate that I can't say no to your wife," I grumbled, taking another glass that Grady put in my hand and pouring the strong liquid down my throat. Grady and Percy, Jacqueline's husbands were smirking as if they knew that her charm could make any man succumb to her wishes."Thank you for giving her this," Percy said after he took a quick sip from his glass. "I know we surprised her with both of her weddings, but we never thought that she would enjoy the hectic wedding preparation. Obviously, we were wrong, so t
The Professional Bed Warmer 71. Oscar was gloomy
Bonus Chapters - Oscar and ZalIt was easy for me to put on a happy face. I've been faking it for months. They didn't know how much it hurt seeing them both happy together. Sure I had Zal, but I still doubt that the man loved me as much as Ghazi loved Remy. I am sure that once someone better comes along, Zal will leave me too.Some would call me pessimistic, but I call it reality. I got burned once, and I wasn't going to be a fool and let myself get burned for the second time. The dinners they shared with me and Zal maybe innocently saying that they wanted me to be happy. So I played pretend and showed them what they wanted to see. Not that I was still in love with Ghazi, 'cause I don't. I wasn't going to be that pathetic guy who was still in love with another man's husband.I was mostly angry with myself. It was when Zal left for work that I stayed longer in my office and worked myself to exhaustion. I'd drink and savor my Scotch. I know I've l

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.

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
The Professional Bed Warmer 88. Zal was worried
“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
The Professional Bed Warmer 87. Oscar was needy
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
The Professional Bed Warmer 86. Zal got scared
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 Professional Bed Warmer 83. Oscar was doing it
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
