Holland's PerspectiveWhen I opened my eyes the next day, the sun had risen. All my thoughts went to my wife, who was sleeping only a few feet away. It was the start of a beautiful week because she was still here with me. I couldn't believe it, and Amanza and I were on talking terms. If I didn't want that to end, I needed to take some time off from work.“Mmm, last night, she was so temptingly beautiful.”I smiled, and my heart felt light as I tugged on my underwear. I repeatedly paced, "I can't take off from work just yet. I need to implement some changes right away."“Good morning,” Amanza says sweetly.“Good morning, my love. Are you feeling okay?”“Yes, I’m great. What about you? If you are too tired, can you rest today?” Who now looks like a tall, dark, and handsome predator this morning. He wore a crisp white shirt, deep blue tie, and charcoal grey suit pants that fit his powerfully tapered thighs and muscular legs.“No, I’m okay. Thanks for thinking about me.” I say, looking at
Holland's Perspective:It had been a tough week without Amanza at home. When I talked to her over the phone, she was sad but happy to spend time with her friend Olivia who needed her support. She returned home from Olivia's Friday evening. I had just returned from my business trip. When I pulled up in the driveway, I was excited to see my lonely house lit up with lights. 'She's back home!'I hurriedly and entered the house, calling for her.“Hey, babe, are you home?”“Yes, I’m in here.”I went from one room to the other, like an excited teen searching for her. Then, finally, there she was in the laundry room washing clothes.“Welcome home. How are you feeling?” I gave her a big hug.“It was a rough day. When my flight landed. I got a call from Collin telling me to come to the office. I was told my father took off from work today and we had a deadline we had to meet. So I went in for a few hours to assist Collin..."Right in the middle of our conversation Holland got a phone call. “Bab
Holland lay in bed after hanging up the phone. He hoped he did not sound too cold-hearted. But he realized he couldn’t worry about that right now."Later that afternoon: Amanza POVWe enjoyed the sweet heat by day on the beach playing. I playfully ran down the beach. Holland caught me in his arms, and I told him, "I'm so glad you're here with me."The rough sound of his voice against my hair made me shiver. Holland's voice seemed more profound, his arms resting on the small of my back as he pressed my body against his, telling me."Amanza, are you happy to be here with me?" Hearing him say my name made my heart leap with joy. A feeling I thought I would never get to experience again."Yes, I'm glad I stayed." Being held by Holland on the beach, cradled in his arms as the evening sun beamed down on us, it all had been like a fairy tale. But I wanted to think about something other than its ending. Ultimately, the city's beloved prince will leave and return to his princess Susie and their
Amanza POVSo, I prepared a lovely romantic dinner so we could sit down and discuss whether we were on the same page in this reunion. I wanted to ensure there would be no surprises or disappointments moving forward. The front door opened, and there I stood to greet my handsome man."Good evening, Holland. How was your day?""Hi. Boy, I'm so glad to be home to you." Holland held me tight, hugging me as if he didn't want to lose me again. We stood at the front door holding me and then nibbling on my ear as he proceeded to kiss me down my neck. "Sweetheart. I need to go check on the food before our dinner burns.""Yes, I know. Let me hold you one more minute. If I had it my way, I prefer to have you for dinner instead. That would be more than enough for me."I chuckled, "Do you think we could live on love alone?"Before he could respond, his stomach growled as we laughed together. "I don't think so. Get cleaned up and meet me in the dinning room silly boy."Finally, he released me. I was
Susan's Narrative:Susan quickly hung up the phone and began to undo her hair, combing it, ensuring she looked perfect for Holland's arrival. She feels more appealing and attractive now that she has had the baby. Indeed, she could get him back now. When Susie realized that Hailey was back, probably for good, she decided to fight harder than before to get and keep Holland. Susie, after putting forth the effort to look temptingly pretty and seductive. She paced back and forth in her bedroom as she tucked her hair behind her ear.'I have to be direct tonight and tell him how I feel. I can’t let him get back with Amanza. I can't just keep sitting and waiting on him.' Susie pondered over her words, thinking carefully about what she would say to the man she loved. It was killing her to know Amanza was truly back in his life, taking her place. I thought she would move on with Collin, but she put her claws in Holland. ‘Now that he knows who she truly is, he will want her over me! I thought
Holland sees she’s distracted, and he is on her faster than a flash of light! He throws her on the bed and swiftly climbs on top of her. He pressed down on her body and held her hand with the gun above her head. Passion fills her body so much that her mind goes blank as memories; countless memories come into her mind. Her heart slams in her chest as Holland's voice seeps into her pours, trying to bring her back to her senses. Holland, on the other hand, had no idea he would be fighting for his life. He swallowed roughly as he stared into her eyes, which were as cold as glaciers. She lowered her gaze, examining his masculine chest pressed up against her supple breast. “Holland, this is all I want: is to be next to you. I would do anything to have more moments like this with you in my arms.” Being a smart man, he played along to get her to release the gun. “If you want this, then give me the gun, Susie.” “Promise me you will never leave me.” “Susie, I'm right here with you. Now gi
(Narration of characters from this point on until POV is indicated in the story. Thanks for reading, and continue to enjoy! ^^)Holland left feeling sad as Susie's words rang in his head. 'Maybe I should go back and check on her. Or I will call the doctor and have him check on her.’ Holland didn't think moving on with his life from Susie would be this difficult. He had allowed his heart to be more concerned for her than he realized. It wasn’t out of love but out of indebtedness. He always told himself that he was doing it for Lucas, his friend, but if he was, honestly, he liked the attention he got from Susie when she came home. Especially since he had lost his way in his marriage to Amanza. But now things are back on track in his marriage. What he's experiencing with Amanza feels different from what he had with Susie. It felt good and right. Holland wanted to have his heart interwoven and intertwined with his wife's. 'I don't want to be a man with a divided brain. Part of my heart
Amanza's (POV)"Where have I been?" Amanza stepped away from his body."I went to solidify my love for you. I did that, and now you don't have to worry about me having a divided heart.""What about my heart?" I smiled, asking him."I like everything about your heart. The good and the bad." He leaned in to kiss me, his cold lips sending shivers that had more to do with the heat than the ice cream."Okay, okay. Good answer. So I will let you help me eat the rest of this ice cream." I say, kissing him again."You can't eat a pint of ice cream alone in one sitting, can you?""Yes, I can eat a pint in about five minutes by myself. That's how much I love ice cream." I said, leaping off the counter with the ice cream carton in my hand."Oh no, I can't let you eat all this ice cream alone. That would be a sin!""Come over here and join me," I say, taking off playfully and running away.After having me tell him I could consume the ice cream, Amanza hurried to grab a spoon as he took a seat nex
Holland smiled at Amanza this evening, so happy that all that had happened was now behind them. “Baby, you sure are looking good this evening.” He stated, watching Amanza get dressed.Amanza POVI knew he had been standing there the whole time as I slipped my feet into my 5-inch pumps and fixed my pencil skirt and silk blouse before putting on my black fitted coat and matching hat. I smiled as Holland continued to eye me."Wow, you look beautiful, what's the occasion?" Holland's natural reaction was to hug me. But it wasn't just any kind of hug. Instead, I got a big bear hug that lifted me off my feet into his muscular arms."Where are you going? Should I let you go?""Yes...I'm going somewhere very important. I shall return, and then I will be all yours."I barely squeaked out the last few words before Holland set me down, planting a kiss on my lips that I had no time for but couldn't resist. That's when I heard a car horn honk outside. I looked up, shimming myself free from Hollan
Amanza PovOnce I was home. I let the phone ring for a solid minute. Then, when I got no answer, I immediately sent a text.Holland, I know you will see this text since you refused to answer my calls.But you will ignore it because you think I will understand your care for the weak and naive Susie.Soon, you'll learn that you are mistaken. Amanza Ended the Text.I promised myself I wasn't going to cry. Tears didn't help. They had never helped in the past, and they sure weren't going to help now.Nothing would help but get justice. But, like serrated blades, the memories of what has happened in such a public way. He has sliced into me and tore at me. Had I been so naive that Holland would never return to Susie? And how very wrong I'd been.Weary and broken, I lay in my bed, reflecting on all the pain that has filled my heart."God didn't create fools. Fools are something you let others make of you."I have to free myself from all the games and free myself from all the pain. I'm so tire
Amanza smiled and said. "Yes, I'm ready even though this day has been like a dream, dad. I don't know how to describe it."Amanza's father smiled and said. "Holland seems to have come to his senses; your mother and I are happy for the both of you."They continue to walk. Amanza felt this overwhelming nervousness and excitement come over her. It was a good thing her father held her arm tightly. Amanza didn't know Holland would go this far to prove his devotion and love for her. It wasn't expected. It just keeps getting better and better.All eyes were on her again. "Dad, thank you for everything you've done for me. I love you and mom dearly. I'm so happy you got to be a part of my wedding this time."Her father smiled back and said. "We're always here for you. I will always be with you like I am today. Ready to support you if you need me to. But I'm confident Holland will take good care of you. Look, we both are getting emotional."Amanza's father opened the door. He stepped out first
Secret desires are those things we deny ourselves, perhaps because we think it’s not something we should do because, in some kind of way, we feel it’s wrong. Or possibly bad because it just feels so good. Or could we feel it’s someone we didn't think we should be with because of their background or lifestyle? Olivia tried to abstain because she knew that once she had gone all the way, she would never find her way back. She shook her head. ‘Deja kept secrets from me, too, and she hasn’t told me out of her mouth that she wants to get back with her ex-husband, Holland. So why shouldn’t I keep a little secret of my own.’She was thrilled about her new life with Collin. But she grappled over how she was going to control her needs. Olivia realizes how much she desires this man in every way.‘I guess I will focus on the celebration of this wedding, where it all will come out at the ceremony. I would never do anything to take away from my best friend's happiness. So, I will continue to work
"I see you are still a little uptight. Relax, we didn't sin." She nodded rather than trusting herself to agree or speak because she was unprepared to interact with this good-looking flesh and blood of a man she assumed she had sex with and for sure he was her husband.Olivia sat down at the table across from him. "Tell me what you remember? Don't leave out anything."She said in a remarkably calm voice, breathtakingly beautiful even first thing in the morning. 'I knew I made a good choice.' He mutters."Okay, promise me you will remain calm like this?"He took her small hand, his thumb caressing the soft flesh over her knuckles. As he lowered his head, his lips replaced his thumb."Now, if you don't remain calm, dear, I’m not going to tell you anything, you got that?" She could feel him tighten his grip the instant he touched her, attempting to extract her fingers. His head came up slowly."Take a sip of your coffee first." Those sable eyes met and captured his pair of dark brown
Olivia's eyes popped open, startled out of a deep sleep, hearing her blaring alarm clock go off, blasting the words! "If you liked it, you shoulda put a ring on it!" It was Beyonce's song screaming in his ear. She closes her eyes and turns off the pink and black alarm clock on the night table beside the bed. But that’s when a body next to hers begins to stir. Collin opens his eyes, disturbed by the blaring alarm. He looked around the unfamiliar room as the song loudly repeated itself. He grabs his chest and lets out a deep sigh of relief once the music stops.Collin turns his head, and instead of seeing the other side of his empty bed. He sees a head full of long hair. With a soft pink sheet wrapped around her body. Collin thought he must be dreaming as he asked himself, "Is this the mother of my babies?" He quietly lifts her hair from her face. He lets out another sigh of relief once he sees it's Olivia. Collin goes to wipe the pebbles of sweat from his face and notices a wedding
"Yes, give me one second to pull up this song on my playlist." She stood there smiling, looking up at how handsome he was under the moonlight while listening to the water caress the shore. A song she never heard before came on; Collin took her around the waist and settled his hand at the small of her back as they began to sway slowly and softly to beat to the song called "Paris in the Rain."He sang the song in her ear as they were moving in sync with the beat. His lips caressed the tender parts of her earlobe, and his voice melted her body, leaving it like whipped butter. Closing her eyes, it felt as if she was floating away; it felt like a dream that she didn't ever want to end. Collin continues to sing, placing his lips ever closer to her ear singing, fondling her earlobe with his lips and making her soft release moans of ecstasy. The love sounds she made were more exhilarating than the thrills of fans screaming his name. He wanted to call out her name over and over. When he gaze
Olivia honestly felt no pressure, just happiness, being and talking with Collin. She sat here tonight with him at candlelight dinner. There were sides of him that she simply loved. His cute, talkative way about him. And then there was this other side of him, this masculine, sultry, sexy young man sitting here with her, possessing a magnetic force that was making it difficult for her to resist him sexually.Even though, reluctantly, she was helping Holland have a surprise wedding for Deja, her best friend. She had her own decision she needed to make in regard to her and Collin. Since they spent time together, it was almost as if he could tell over time that she was surrendering without verbally saying it. Their conversation with him last night was quite intriguing."Yes, you know I'm not a traditional guy, nor am I average, so why live an average, ordinary life? Why waste time dating while at the same time being committed to only one person? That sounds like marriage to me. So why can'
Holland rolled over onto his back. "You mean we should get married again?" He chuckled. "Why baby, we are legally already husband and wife.""Yes, I know, but honestly, did you mean those vows when you said them to me?"The stress came over his face. His mind was in the thralls of making love for the first time in three years to his deliciously sexy wife, and now he's being stopped dead in his tracks! And he's a little bit shaken at her suggestion."You just said you would do anything to prove that you love me, and if you are sincere, I want to start over Holland. The first time was sudden, and it was a sham on your part. This time ,I want us to be seriously committed to one another and for everyone to know.""Is this everyone, meaning Susie Hubbard?""Especially her, Holland. You talked to her tonight and didn't mention anything to me. Other than what you thought I wanted to hear."He glanced at me. By the way, I held a frowning gaze with a healthy dose of curiosity and mistrust. Hol
