Dennis“Hey, I’m at the door…” Mia’s voice sounded over the phone just before she hung up.I got up, hurried to the door and opened it while she strolled in, with a naughty smile plastered across her face. “That was fast. I wasn’t expecting you for another five minutes.” I let out as I closed the door and then turned back to find her naked.Mia had stripped naked and not even her lingerie was left on her body. It was all bare for my eyes to feed on.“Like what you see?” She asked when she saw my mouth opened and my eyes glued on her body.She always wore tight dresses that hugged every curve in her body, so I always knew she had a great body. I just never imagined it would look like what was standing before me. She was a beautiful work of art. To think I was having a rethink before she arrived. Sonia had crossed my mind as I pulled into the hotel, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that to her. I changed my mind and was going to call things off with Mia just as she arrived. I had
SoniaA broad smile lined my face as the plane touched down in Atlanta. My heart raced a bit as I thought about what Jeff’s reaction would be when he sees me. I kept this a secret from him until the last minute. Not like I wanted to though, Dennis had pissed me off, and I needed to get away from him to clear my head. It wasn’t until the last minute when I was about boarding that I called Jeff. He was surprised but also happy, especially since he had asked me to come pay him a visit, but I came up with an excuse.“Are you sure you're okay with it?” I asked, pretending like I was okay to cancel if he didn't want it.“Of course, babe. Don’t worry about anything. I’ve got it all handled.” Hearing him say that floored me. Talk about a man being so intentional about his woman.True to his word, the moment I stepped off the plane, a polished black town car was waiting for me, the driver holding a sign with my name. My surprise turned into wonder as I sank into the luxurious leather seats. T
FreyaMy night was longer than usual. It felt like it was never going to end, as I found it so hard to find sleep. After the tense kiss Victor and I shared, my head and heart started conflicting with each other. I just couldn’t stop thinking about the whole thing. I thought it was all gone after the cold face wash that made me sleep right off, but then, I woke up thinking it was morning, only to find out I had only slept for three minutes.“Just three minutes!” I had screamed and then buried my face in the pillow, which muffled my scream. For about an hour, I lay there and stared blankly at the roof. Falling in love with Victor was a bad idea… not like bad, bad, but it would definitely make me lose focus. I tend to do that when I’m in love. That’s why my past relationships always ended in my heart getting broken. It’s the same thing that happened with Dennis. I was too in love to notice the big red flag he was wrapped in. I just wanted to love and be loved in return…After tossing
DennisI found myself smirking when my phone rang and Mia’s name came up. A quick recollection of the previous night came to my mind and I smirked again.“Mia, what’s up?” I asked, leaning back in my chair, barely paying attention as I scanned through emails.“I thought I said you shouldn’t call or do anything until I reach out to you. Have you forgotten what you are so soon?” I asked, trying to be naughty, but she seemed not in the mood for jokes, Her voice was hesitant at first, then rushed, like she couldn’t get the words out fast enough. “That’s not why I called.” She cut in sharply.“Dennis, I just overheard something... Freya’s transferring you to the new branch. Effective immediately. I thought you should know.” She added while I immediately froze, the phone nearly slipping from my hand. “What?” I hissed.“She had a meeting with the board this morning. It’s done, Dennis. She told her assistant to start the paperwork.”My blood boiled. “Are you sure about this?”“Yes,” Mia whis
FreyaI waited till Dennis was out of my compound before I made my way into the house. I slammed the door shut behind me, the echo vibrating through the house. My heart was pounding, my cheek still stung as I hurried upstairs into the room, but it was nothing compared to the fire roaring in my chest.He hit me. Dennis. The man I once trusted, once loved. I never thought he could sink so low. I had done nothing but love him and showed him time after time how much he meant to me, but he dared put his hands on me?Storming back into the living room, I grabbed the half-full glass of whiskey I’d left on the bar cart earlier. I didn’t even care about the burn as I took a long, hard sip. The liquid scorched my throat, but it didn’t dull the anger. Nothing could.How dare he? Accusing me of cheating? Like I owe him any loyalty? Like I wasn’t already humiliated by his reckless affair with Sonia. The betrayal cut deeper than any slap ever could. And now, he had the audacity to come into my home,
Victor“Urghhh… I think I should rest now.” I muttered to myself as I sent the final copies of the contract to my assistant. I should have worked on the document at the office, but I was so occupied with some urgent paperwork. I got home so tired, but I couldn’t go to bed yet, not until I went over the fifty pages of document, signed it and then sent it to my assistant to finish up. I turned off my laptop, and stretched as I made my way into the bathroom for a quick shower.I got back into the room just as my phone started to ring. I moved over to the desk where I left it, and glancing over, I saw the name flashing on the screen. It was one of my informants. “Yes, speak!” I let out firmly.“Sir,” he said urgently. “Dennis was at Freya’s house.” “He... hit her,” the voice hesitated, as if bracing for my reaction. “What? What happened? Is she okay?”“Yes, she is. She handled it.” He replied and I felt my anger surge.“What the heck do you mean she handled it? You mean you guys sta
SoniaI opened my eyes and found myself wrapped in the warmth of Jeff’s arms, his steady heartbeat a soothing rhythm against my ear. The golden morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft glow. I tilted my head to look up at him, and he was already awake, watching me with that slow, crooked smile that always made my stomach flutter. “Good morning, beautiful,” he murmured, his voice husky and filled with tenderness. “Good morning,” I whispered back, unable to stop the smile spreading across my face. “Why were you staring so hard?” I quizzed while he smiled. “I just can’t get over how beautiful it is to wake up next to your beautiful face every morning. I love you so much.” He chimed in while I blushed. “And I love you too.” I chimed in too, while his fingers brushed a strand of hair from my cheek, and then his lips captured mine in a kiss that deepened until it felt like the world outside the bed didn’t exist. One kiss turned into another, and bef
Dennis I woke up still with the thought of Freya troubling my soul. Last night was one of the longest nights I’ve had my entire life.I barely slept. The memory of Freya’s eyes, cold and distant, haunted me all night. I couldn’t believe what had happened, couldn’t believe I had let things get so out of control. I had let my emotions get the best of me. I may not love Freya that much, but a part of me still beats for her, and that was the first time I would be putting my hands on a woman. She brought out the beast in me. If only she hadn’t tried to prove stubborn… but then, I should have controlled myself too, knowing what I stood to gain.Now, I’m afraid she might have slipped through my fingers, and if I didn’t act fast, I would lose everything I had been working toward… the lifestyle, the power, her wealth.One thing though, I knew Freya better than anyone, all it would take was the right words, the right gesture, and she would forget all about what happened. It always worked, and
VictorLooking into Freya’s beautiful eyes, I saw everything I ever wanted. There was love, admiration, a deep unspoken promise of forever… most importantly, I saw myself in those eyes, and I wanted to live there forever. The thought of proposing to her had been lingering in my mind for a while. Throughout our trip, it was constantly throbbing in my mind, but I had planned to wait until all the dramas in our lives had settled, until there were no distractions and I could make it perfect.But after tonight… after that mind-blowing, impulsive, and passionate moment we had just shared in the restroom, I realized that there was no such thing as the perfect moment. Love wasn’t about waiting for things to be ideal, it was about seizing the moment, embracing the unpredictability, and making every second count. Freya was my unpredictability, my fire, my safe place, my worst distraction and my storm all in one. And I didn’t want to risk losing her to time or circumstances. I wanted to make i
FreyaThe restaurant was nothing short of exquisite, the kind of place where the air smelled of truffle oil and fine wine, where the chandeliers twinkled like captured stars, and where the waiters moved with an elegance that made them seem like they were floating. The soft hum of a piano in the background set the perfect ambiance as we were led to our private VIP booth. Everything was immaculate, and I could tell my father had pulled out all the stops for this evening.That wasn’t our first time there. I had been there with my dad a couple of times, and Victor and I had been there too… only as friends though…Victor, ever the gentleman, pulled my chair out before taking his seat, flashing me that smirk that always made my heart skip a beat. It was a strange yet beautiful feeling, watching him fit so seamlessly into this world, a world he was already accustomed to, yet feeling as though he was nervous because it involved me.The waiters wasted no time in pouring the finest red wine int
VictorWe both hopped into the car, and even after the teasing and daring, we still shared a sweet kiss before I started the car.But as soon as I gripped the steering wheel, my fingers tightened involuntarily, my knuckles slightly paling from the pressure and a wash of nervousness coursed through me.That was unusual and so ridiculous. I had been in meetings with the most powerful and intimidating men in the world, men who controlled empires, wielded wealth like a sword, and dictated the flow of markets. And yet, here I was, my heartbeat slightly erratic, my palms faintly damp, all because I was about to meet my girlfriend’s father.Freya noticed. Of course, she did. She was attuned to my moods more than anyone else. Her laughter rang through the car, soft yet teasing. “Victor, you need to relax. You’re acting like you’re about to be interrogated in a high-stakes trial.” She let out while I exhaled sharply, keeping my eyes on the road. “That’s exactly what this feels like. Your fath
Freya The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm golden glow across the room. It took a second before I finally processed what really woke me. It was that sweet touch… his sweet touch. I looked to my side and saw Victor’s hand fondling my ears. My body still aches in the best way possible, a reminder of the passion Victor and I shared all evening and night. I could still fill him inside me, his arms wrapping around my waist, his breathing deep and steady against my neck. And how I smiled, running my fingers along his forearm, my heart swelling with contentment as we both came. I thought I had had enough until now… his touch was doing something to me body and I liked it. “What’s on your mind?” I asked while I raised a leg on the bed and then traced from my lips down to my thigh. I stopped between my legs and then spread them.“Nothing other than how I plan on devouring you. I’m going to eat you up completely, but slowly and then fast till you almost pass out.
SoniaI tightened my grip on Dennis’ arm as we stepped into my apartment. He was still groaning in pain, his weight leaning against me, but I managed to guide him to the couch. My heart was racing, but not for the reasons he might have thought. This was going exactly the way I planned.“Sit,” I said softly, placing a pillow behind him as he collapsed onto the couch. His shirt was stained with blood from the cuts and bruises on his face. His eye was already swelling shut, his lip split. A complete mess. “You look like you got run over by a truck.” I teased him while he let out a breathy chuckle but winced immediately. “Feels like it too.” He replied too.I walked to the cabinet and grabbed my first aid kit. My hands worked methodically, but my mind was elsewhere. I had already mapped out my next steps, and getting Dennis under my control was at the center of it. He thought I was just being kind. That was his first mistake.I knelt in front of him, unscrewing a bottle of antiseptic. “Th
FreyaThe moment we stepped into the house, Victor stretched his arms and let out a deep, satisfied sigh. “Finally home,” he murmured, his voice laced with exhaustion and contentment.I watched him as he dropped his bag and loosened a few buttons on his shirt. His eyes, still filled with desire from the wild ride we had in the car, softened as he looked at me. “I need a shower,” he announced, taking a step toward the staircase.I quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path with a playful smile. “Oh no, Mr. Whitmore, not yet.”He arched a brow, his lips curling into an amused smirk. “Oh? And why not? You planning on joining me?”“As tempting as that sounds,” I teased, placing my hands on his chest, “I insist that you eat first.”He let out a chuckle, wrapping his arms around my waist. “Freya, I just had a full-course meal not too long ago.” His fingers played with the hem of my dress. “And then I had you for dessert in the car. I think I’m pretty satisfied.”I smacked his chest
SoniaThe moment my phone lit up with Dennis’s name, I felt a thrill rush through me. “What the actual f*ck?!” I muttered under my breathe. Dennis was actually calling my phone right now. So, my plan worked after all. I had been waiting for this moment, and now that it was here, I wanted to savor it. Instead of answering right away, I let it ring, tapping my nails against the marble counter of my kitchen.I had to be sure too. I wouldn’t want to answer it, not sure if it was my plan or a random call from him. But what are the odds though? He has literally ignored and abandoned me so why now, if it wasn’t my plan working??Still, I quickly scrolled through my contacts and dialed my guy… the one I had paid handsomely to give Dennis a little taste of hell. He picked up on the first ring. “It’s done,” he confirmed, his voice carrying a smug satisfaction that mirrored my own. “Your boy’s barely standing.”I smirked, feeling an odd mix of satisfaction and amusement. “Good. And you made sur
Dennis The moment Freya and Victor got into the car, I could already feel my blood boiling, and my vision turning red. I wasn’t an idiot… I knew exactly what was happening inside that car. The way the vehicle shook, and the frequent movement all made it obvious that they were having sex.My grip tightened on the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. I clenched my jaw so hard it hurt, and my breathing became uneven. The thought of her, my Freya, in the arms of another man… no, worse, losing herself in pleasure with that bastard made my stomach twist with rage. I had to look away for a moment before I did something reckless, something stupid.I forced myself to inhale deeply through my nose, but it barely helped. My hands shook with the urge to do something… anything to rip the bastard away from her, to make him pay for touching what was mine. I imagined ramming my car into them, sending them flying off the road. It would be so easy. One hard slam on the gas, and I could plow
FreyaThe moment we got to the car, Victor instinctively reached for the driver’s seat, but I had other plans. Before he could even protest, I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the backseat. He raised an eyebrow, amused, but I could already see the hunger in his eyes.“What are you up to?” he asked, a teasing smirk dancing on his lips.I pushed him back onto the seat and straddled him, pressing my body against his. “I’ve missed you too damn much to wait until we get home,” I whispered, my lips mere inches from his.His hands instinctively found my waist, gripping me tightly as he let out a low chuckle. “Freya, you do realize we’re still at the airport parking lot, right?”“Do you see me caring?” I murmured before capturing his lips in a heated kiss.Victor groaned against my mouth, his fingers digging into my hips as he deepened the kiss. I could feel the tension melting away from both of us, replaced with nothing but the raw need we had for each other. The way his hands roamed
