10- "Familiar!"

Both my friend and I watched mom as she walked upstairs.My mom has always been like this. She always loves to tease me to match me to my best friend—Chris. I'm used to it and I just disregard it every time. Chris is so much like a brother to me that I'm not embarrassed or self-conscious about showing up to him in the morning without having showered or even put on any makeup.“Let me take, at least, my breakfast first before we go, will that be alright? Because I don’t want to go on a drive with a hungry tummy,” I continued telling Chris.He nodded understandingly. “You know I’m always ready to wait for you…”I glared at him humorously. “Come on! Stop pulling your playboy tricks on me, Christian Salvatore, Jr.! You know I won’t be like those girls drooling around to be laid by you.”He chuckled in both annoyance and amusement. “And you really know how to annoy me by just calling me by my complete name every time!”I grinned. I always win, and I know he would always let me win over hi

11- "Naked bodies..."

The unexpected onset of uneasiness led me to put back the dress on its hanger and leave hurriedly. I went to the store where Chris was."Chris!" I immediately held onto his arm as I saw him and called his name.He was a bit surprised that I followed him. “Tami, hey. What’s wrong?” Before looking squarely into my eyes, he cast a momentary glance over my hands, which were quivering ever-so-slightly.I turned my head away and made every effort to relax. “Uhm, nothing’s wrong. I simply want to follow you here."He didn't say a word, but he kept staring at me the whole time as if he were trying to figure out what I was thinking simply by observing me and not breaking eye contact.In a nervous moment, I bit my lower lip.Okay, here's the thing—I am fully aware that this particular friend of mine knows me so well that he would be able to determine whether or not I am being truthful with him or whether I am telling him a lie.I finally straightened up and looked him in the eye, too. “Come o

12- "Intense!"

After Chris and I spent approximately an hour roaming the second floor, I finally found a perfect gift to give to Johann and Celyn. It was a matching set of luxurious, plush robes with a terry lining and an exterior with a textured weave made of the finest Turkish cotton. Perfect for newlyweds on their honeymoon to wrap themselves in on a relaxing Sunday morning.“It’s good that you already figured out what to give to them,” Chris said.“Come on, Chris! There’s a lot of things out there you can choose to give as your gift,” I cheered him up, and then I pointed to the towels, bedsheets, and everything.“I don't want to give them bedsheets or towels. I do not wish to send them cheap items,” he reasoned.I rolled my eyes. “The usual rich man’s problem!”He chuckled, amused. “Not really.”“If you don’t want to give them inexpensive things, then buy them a living room set or a flatscreen tv, refrigerator, or any useful appliances they can use inside their home!” I suggested.He winked at m

13- "Nice to see you again..."

Subconsciously, I immediately held on to Chris’s arm… tightly…My dear friend looked at my hand and up to meet my eyes.“Uhm, I think it’s better if we leave now…” I said, biting my lower lip.He was a bit puzzled. “Why? And all of a sudden?”“Uhm…” I was grasping some reasoning out of my mind though it was clouded with distraction because of the presence of the man who could just make my heart pound abnormally every time! “I remembered I forgot to look for something in the clothing section…”“Later. After strolling over here, let's just head back there, alright? For the time being, let me look for a book to gift to the couple."I couldn’t be eased anymore knowing that the macho hombre I had given myself with the night I was drunk was just a walk away from where we were standing right at the moment! I was no longer even able to smile! D*mn it!The hold of my hand on my friend’s arm became tighter. “Chris, please?”He was about to insist that we should stay here but the moment he saw

14- "Trapped!"

My eyes widened when I recognized that deep, husky voice! How could I ever forget that when it was such music in my ear the way he moaned when we were making love in the bed! I could never be mistaken! I knew it was him—the person I have been trying to avoid having an encounter with since that night!He was only right behind me, pressing his body on my back, and sending shivers all over my already seduced insanity!"Get... off... me..." It was almost a whisper that came out of my mouth."No..." he continued seducing me.A deja vu suddenly popped up in my mind. A deja vu of the images of the two of us giving each other mutual pleasures. It felt like all the memories we made that hot night came back to me. D*mn it!"Who's that boy with you, huh?" he asked me huskily.I didn't answer. I just closed my eyes tightly to the sensation he was making me feel."After giving yourself to me, I would just see you going out with somebody else today!" he possessively said while snaking his arm arou

15- "Trembling..."

"Not until you remember what we had that night,” he answered, unbothered.My body began to tremble.Is he thinking about violating me here inside his car, where he is completely free to treat me however he pleases and there is no chance that anybody from the outside will overhear us?!"Let me make you remember the steamy, heated moment when our bodies became one... How much you embraced it, how much you needed my touch and my every thrust—I will make sure you never forget! I'll make you recall everything, including how much you cherished the moment I completely filled you inside!"He leaned closer to me as he hungrily reached for my lips. His hand ravished my boob and nailed my neck with his hard, long, wet kisses."Stop it!" I pushed him but it made no effect at all. "Stop it, you crazy idiot psychopath maniac! D*mn you!"He seemed to hear nothing, unwilling to listen to my angry curses."D*mn! Stop—Oh!" My supposed yell was immediately replaced by an unintentional very delicate moan

16- "Distracted."

I ran my fingers through my hair and fixed my slightly messed top then made sure the zipper of my pants was closed. I simply didn’t wanna look idiot just after what happened and what was almost about to happen!I shook my head at the thought. Stop it already, Tamara! Stop fantasizing about him!"Tamara!"The moment I saw Chris approaching, I knew I had to pull myself away from my thoughts about that"Chris!"“What happened to you, Tami? You took so long that I worried about you and decided to follow you here just to make sure you’re safe! Are you alright?”I massaged my temple and though still feeling frustrated, I managed to softly chuckle. Chris is just so genuine I couldn’t help but smile and float in the cloud of gratitude!I gave his shoulder a little tap. “Chris, I’m alright. There is absolutely no reason to worry. You see I’m alive and okay.”He was a bit relieved though not completely convinced yet. “But what took you so long?”“Uhm, I had a hard time finding my purse but yeah

17- "Following like a stalker!"

(Fabio's POV)I was selecting a gift for my sister—Natasya's upcoming birthday as I was in a women's shoe store. She loves shoes, so I figured I would buy one for her.I was searching the shoe section by myself, trying to find a pair that would both fit her feet and appeal to her, when I spotted a woman I recognized standing on the escalator leading up to the second floor.The lady looked very familiar. I wasn’t just completely sure if it was really her or maybe just a look-alike.As she was facing away from me and conversing with the man she was with, I was unable to get a proper view of her. She had a hand on the boy's arm and was gripping it firmly.Due to the fact that I couldn't see her in full totality, I focused my eye on the structure of her body. I was certain that I was seeing the body of the woman with whom I had just spent the night. I couldn't be wrong about it.Tamara?She looked tall, but not quite as tall as I am. The contour of her hips and butt were both picture-perf

18- "Investment."

(Tamara's POV)"DAD, what is it that you’re going to say?" The atmosphere wasn't strained, but I was nevertheless anxious to see my dad when he walked into his office at our home.He called me and stated that he wanted to talk to me because he had something to say.He nodded gently at me. "You take a seat first, my dear."I took a seat in the visitor's chair. Mom, who was joining him in quiet, was sitting in front of me."What is it, dad?"He sighed before mustering up the courage to speak his mind.“Tami, listen to me very carefully, okay?"I nodded. I knew exactly where we were headed with this discussion, and that didn't stop my anxiety. I was afraid that what I had overheard would be confirmed by his own mouth."About two years ago, I developed a gambling addiction after repeatedly visiting a casino. Since then, I have been unable to shake the feeling of excitement whenever I play. I tried to stay away from it since I realized it would only bring harm to me, my life, and us, but I

19- "Running away..."

They wanted me to be sacrificed in order to rescue our d*mned business despite the fact that I'm a family member, too!"Alright, dad. I'll make compromises in order to rescue the business and you. I'll tie the knot with a complete stranger. Okay, I will do it for you. However, I warn you that if you continue gambling after this and our company is put at stake the other time around, our family will face a second downfall and you will be sent to prison, there won't be anyone left to save you and your crap any longer." I was harsh, but I was only staying true to my last words as I stood up and walked out the door."Tamara! Tamara, where are you going?! We’re still not yet done talking here—”I marched straight out of dad's study, totally ignoring mom’s call.My father's actions affected all of us, especially me, who now needs to make remedies for his errors, so I was just terribly upset and disappointed by them. The least I could do to show them how I felt was to walk away, or else I mig
