Bradley's POV Fury still boiled within me, and for that, it kept me up till I was sure Lily was asleep. I pulled myself from her entangled arms, reached for my shirt, and started out the door. Lily was damn sure about someone watching us, and I knew in the depths of my heart that it could be Bobby. Was he watching us while I made love to my woman? Yes, he did love her first but she was my woman. I earned her love but he never did win her heart. I started towards the garage, hoping to meet him there. I rolled the gate open and walked myself in. Bobby was sprawled across a car that had broken windows. He puffed a thick smoke from the cigar in his mouth when he noticed my presence. He was alone in the quiet dark. "I've been waiting for you," Bobby's voice echoed. "I'm glad you know why I'm here. Now, you're faking me while you take advantage of her body?" I gnarled. He let out a shaky laugh, then jumped down from the car, barechested. "I didn't even have to do so much. L
Lily's POV We were making wild love everywhere and every day before we left for work and whenever we returned. Love was sweet like honey gotten from a hive. I just didn't realize it would hurt this much."What's wrong, Bradley?" I asked, noting his face when he received a call one evening."My boss changed plans." His brows twitched as he caressed his temple."What plans?" He sighed, laying by my side while he pulled me close. "I hadn't voiced this to you 'cause I thought it wasn't important. My boss wanted someone who would go with him on a two-day trip. Initially, he picked his secretary. But she had called in sick, and now I'm to take her place." Bradley explained to me.While he explained, my fingers toyed with the hairs surrounding his chest down to his tummy. When he had first made love to me in my house, the hair hadn't been this massive on his chest.How had they suddenly grown when next we made love at his place?"Are you listening to me?" He tilted my chin."Yeah, I am. Is
Lily's POV My body was trembling but he simply didn't care. He dragged me to sit on his thighs while he sat at the edge of the bed. He cleared his throat, studying the room before staring right at me. "I don't think I like the fact that I enjoy faking Bradley," he started, caressing my arms. "How did you get in?" I forced the question from my lips. He smirked, "stop quivering, will you? I thought Bradley should have told you by now." "Bradley?" The sheen of sweat broke on my face. What was going on here? Were the brothers playing a game on me? "Be steady, love. You have taught me a lot these past few days," he was surprisingly calm. I still couldn't comprehend how Bobby had broken through Bradley's security, walked through the doors, and made me sit on his lap. "I want to see your face, Lily. Can you sit astride me?" His tone was unbelievably polite. But when I didn't stir, his strength was the opposite. I gasped when his hands caught my waist and swirled me into
Bradley's POV I guessed you would have me to blame. I was selfish, emboldened by my crude thoughts that my brother wouldn't lay a finger on Lily being that she was in my house after all. I never considered the fact that Bobby would have alternatives possibly. While having a presentation with my boss and his clients, my phone rang out incessantly. It was a strange number, so I turned the screen to face the table to ward off unwanted calls. "You did quite well, Bradley. I must commend you." My boss praised me, widening his mouth with a huge smile. I felt pleased. One of the reasons I was so dedicated to my job was to be promoted. I wanted a higher position, this was another reason why I haven't given up my brother for his wrongdoings. Maybe, if I hadn't been so uptight, I would have been able to swerve the awful events that were unfolding. I couldn't possibly wait to see Lily again. I missed her. After the trip, I returned home and entered the house. "Lily!" I called
Oftentimes, I usually take a stroll down the naked beach just to watch naked young bodies. Women often take pride in showcasing their bodies but I guessed I was never one of them. Young men on the other hand were provocative to my eyes and I wished to the stars that I had one man between my legs. There was a particular dude I watched, broad-chested, tussled hair and strong biceps. My eyes would trail down the contours of his taunt bum, around his full lips, and begin to fantasize about him making love to me. I never knew his name until I had a girl's date with my two naughty friends, Rhena and Thelma. "Why do you keep giving me the eyes?" I asked Rhena, who had her eyes fixated on me. "Have you been masturbating, Davina?" Rhena threw in. My eyes bugged out while Thelma spluttered out the juice in her mouth. "What the fuck, Rhena, we are outside," I swat her hand as my voice grew into a whisper. "Why would you ask her that?" Thelma pulled her chair closer -interested to
The thoughts of Jamal were never erased from my mind. He had played along with my tactics. He must have noticed my friends glancing repeatedly over at him, forcing him to comply. And I knew he would be ringing up my phone any time soon. My phone rang and I raced towards the bed to receive the call. "Has he called yet?" Thelma asked me. "You're the one calling," I sighed, realizing it was my friend calling. "You should have collected his number too." Rhena quipped. I shuddered. "Is Rhena with you, Thelma? Have you guys been talking about me?" I asked them, stupefied. "Chill, girlfriend. We are here to help. Just give Jamal up. And stop going over to the naked beach, he might think you are desperate." Thelma warned. "You guys should stop worrying about me." I yawned, going over to my window. "Maybe, this whole relationship thing isn't for me," I added. "Girl, you had sounded like a pervert. If I was Jamal I would have bruised your lips," Rhena intoned. "Oh, you shut u
My breath quickened and my hand trembled as I jerked up into a sitting position, letting the phone fall. "Davina?" He called. How did he know my name? I asked myself. Did he ask Jasper? Had they been talking about me? Quickly my finger tapped on my phone's screen, cancelling the call. In a minute, my phone was ringing again. It was Jamal. Couldn't he just give it up? I groaned. He finally decided to call me after seeing me touch myself, I rolled my eyes. Reluctantly, I picked up the call. "Hello," I said. "Hello Davina, I just want to apologize," he rasped. "You called to apologize, over the phone?" I was irked. "Please, listen to me. I was thinking I would see you probably when I was coming out of Jasper's house. I was given the wrong description. Your doorbell wasn't making any sound, your door was open and I let myself in." He explained. "But you walked into my room and saw me....," I swallowed my words, it was better not to push it. How would I ever re
He was Jasper's tutor. And he truly, really infuriated me. I made sure not to collide with him whenever I was returning from classes. We never talked ever since our last encounter, but I was always looking forward to hearing his voice whenever he was walking along the corridor going to Jasper's room. His voice did things to me, and I hated myself for being extremely horny even to his voice. I tantalized with the idea of the said "experiment" but I wouldn't admit to myself how inappropriate it was. So, I perched by the elevator, faking a scene of looking for a lost object when Jamal strode down the corridor towards the lift. "What are you doing?" Jamal lifted a brow. I pushed the strap of my bag further up my shoulder as I peered a look at his face. I had been rehearsing to myself how I would approach him and agree to his nonsensical experiment even though he simply was an annoying fellow. "Well, hello," I let out a laugh, standing while I fanned my face. His brows t
Not the way I intended to meet her. I swerved a little, arcing my leg to disarm the gun from her hand.But she was quick to dodge my kick, instead, she slammed me hard against the wall before me, clenching her teeth as she spoke."I certainly wouldn't hesitate to pull this trigger..," She spun me around grabbing my collar with her other free hand. Our eyes jammed and she froze."Alexandro?" The words slipped out from her lips.I cocked my brows as I met her eyes. "This is where you drop the gun," I said raising my hand to the barrel.Her mouth stretched slightly as she let out a scoff. "How is that possible? I mean I saw you being gunned down before me six months ago," she explained.Six months! Has it been six months already?I probably wouldn't be alive if it weren't for my..... I mean, Vinny.It was so difficult to comprehend the fact that I already had a son."How is that possible?" She back-pocketed her gun, stepped closer to me and began to stroke my face with her fingertips.
"I had a son...." The memory of those lines stung me immensely. I took a walk that evening. I couldn't bring myself to share in their little family dinner. I felt like an outcast as Antonio's words resurrected in my head. "Lydia, the mother of Vinnie has been deceased long gone due to grief of being separated from her son. I had to take the boy away for my safety, and for his safety but you simply never cared....," I was a hard man to please. How do you suppose I'd lived my life? A man who never played by the books, not by the rules but only by the words from my mouth. And now, I had a son, a son I had almost killed with my hands. And that same son who I'd almost killed turned out to be my savior. I pocketed my hands into my jacket as I entered a nearby coffee shop. I had some few notes in the depths of my jacket, I smiled to myself knowing how fortunate that made me. I recalled Antonio's words, begging me not to go out into the cold, that I needed more rest and I also ne
You thought I was dead, right? Truthfully, I thought I would die too. I caught images of the past stuck in my head - where Bruno hovered over my sprawling bleeding body arcing his gun to my head. What had occured before then? Ahhh, Bruno had wanted a little fun with Jacqueline - my very own property, unsoiled and only meant for me. He wanted to plunge me into fury - a dark, clouded fury that arouse the thirst for blood. A woman I had fallen madly in love with even against ethics, I had presumably known about her identity when she was treated by Charles. A woman whom Charles had advised me to play along to her tactics. The very same Charles whom I had presumed didn't seem to care much about the crimes of my yesterday. Life is funny, right? Charles played it cool, before me - he was loyal. Behind the scenes he played the sinner. What duly baffled me was how he was able to seal most secrets from Bruno, his very own cousin. Until, he felt the time was right. Charles and
I wished I could spin back the hands of time while we still made love and we bid the worries of the world away from us. Bad things were meant to happen to bad people - maybe karma would finally reward them for the atrocities of the past - but it shouldn't be happening to Alexandro, a man I had hopelessly and completely fallen in love with. Alexandro had to leave me wearing his briefs, stride to the door when he heard Ramsey's call. "Boss, there's trouble," there was fear evident in Ramsey's eyes. On hearing that, I jumped out of the bed instantly - hoping I would be brisk enough to wear in my disguise. "Trouble?" Alexandro's bugging eyes shifted, trying to take a peek behind Ramsey. But what followed next was an explicit shocker. Someone shot Ramsey from behind. The bullet whisked through Ramsey's neck, while blood spluttered unto Alexandro's face. Ramsey fell against Alexandro - fading out gradually as he held the part of his affected neck. Alexandro looked up and met
I let out an involuntary moan as he guided himself inside of me. "I've known you were a woman since the very first day you took the poison drink, lying in my bed while being attended by my doctor," his eyes locked with mine. I should be pushing him off at this confession, I should be! But why was my body saying the exact opposite. He kissed me again - intensely like he had been wanting to do that for a long time. "I fuck... king hate you," I gasped in between as he gradually thrusted into me. "Do you?" He smirked, holding me securely as our bodies meshed in heat and sweet lovemaking. "How do you think you've lasted till this very moment, what about the swimming pool, the very presence of you in my office, the fake chest....," he trailed on, slamming into me without giving me a break in between. What? He gave me the fake chest, how? I was just too dumb not to have realized that the present had been from him. My hand touched the walls behind me as my body began to shak
I didn't hesitate. I pulled off my long sleeved Tee top, then my fake chest came into view. Everyone had their eyes glued on my body, I definitely didn't look like a woman. The colour of the fake chest was the exact colour of my skin. Whoever had sneaked in the fake chest wasn't Maurice, I concluded. It was someone amongst Alexandro's men who certainly knew what was going on. "Do you intend I unbuckle my trousers as well?" I must have sounded thoroughly mad. Where had my audacity spilled from? Alexandro cocked a brow for a spilt second. Many of the men in the room were aware of how Alexandro found a fancy attraction towards me, and so many thought I was keying into that. "No, that would be all," Alexandro cleared his throat, turning to face both Damain and Marcus. "Which one of you brought such claims to me?" "I did," Damian stretched his lips widely. Alexandro dug his hand to the back of his trousers, pulled out a pistol and directed the gun at Damain. The sound of
I was a little too late to press the button beneath the desk. Quickly, I crouched down beneath the desk, heard Bruno walk into Alexandro's office while muttering something to himself."No one is in here," someone was saying to him from the open door.Maybe, that could be Ramsey but this particular voice sounded different, deep and heavy with a southern accent. It could be any other person amidst Alexandro's men, hoping it wasn't what I was thinking. I held my breath, praying no one moved close to the fall-front desk where I was hiding."I could have sworn that they were both here. He was right here with Suarez... You should have stabbed Suarez when you had the chance instead, that dude just gets on my nerves, I needed him out of the way..," Bruno put in.My hands curled into balls of fury. I finally got half of my answers, Bruno was talking to the person who had actually tried to kill me. And who could that killer be?And Bruno could possibly be the reason why Alexandro had been shot.
He tasted of smoke, weed, and coke. And the way his hungry, ravaging mouth sought the contours of my mouth had me clinging to him. The more I tried to pull free from the kiss - the more his ravaging mouth punished me for such betrayal. My head was slowly spinning - like I was gradually on something high. I knew the implications of being kissed by a heavy weed taker. Yet, his tongue would forcefully plunge into my mouth curling and sucking what was left of me. His hands tore my jacket apart - this wasn't good. I needed to stop being kissed before he discovered that I was a woman. My hands which had tried to push him off felt something sticky from his side - he wrenched his mouth from me, groaning as my hands traced the sticky substance. Blood. I gasped. "You're hurt," I said, looking into his eyes. "I should get Bruno," I added. "No, no, no. Not Bruno," he forced the words through clenched teeth, rolling away from me while holding onto his side. Blood sluiced between
My eyes widened as I felt the rope tighten around my neck. I frantically scrambled for the knife I'd also retrieved from behind my mirror and stuck it into the side pocket of my trousers. My fingers closed around it just in time despite the shooting pain coursing around my neckline. With a surge of adrenaline, I managed to slice through the rope, feeling it give way beneath me. I plummeted to the floor, my bones cracking upon impact. A searing pain shot through my wrist as I struggled to catch my breath. Gritting my teeth, I assessed the damage – hoping to the heavens that it wasn't a broken wrist. Ignoring the agony, I hauled myself to my feet whilst shaking my wrist to fix the sprain, my eyes scanned the room as I entered the mansion through the front door. No signs of my attacker. Who could that possibly be? The door was still open, and I could have sworn I saw a glimpse of Ramsey's jacket disappearing around the corner. Determined to confront him, I set off in pursuit,
