All Chapters of A Game Of Temptation : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

LAURAAlex stared at me quietly, waiting for me to continue. He was confused, I could tell from the from lines between his brows, but he didn't ask any questions or push me to go on. He just waited patiently and I appreciated it. I was about to confess to him something that I'd never told anyone. If I did it under pressure, then I was either going to lie or not do it at all. And I needed to do this. For him and for me. "My father left when I was eight. Or at least so I was told by my mom," I said, swallowing hard. My voice shook and something kept telling me to stop this madness, to turn away and walk upstairs, knowing that Alex wouldn't force me if I didn't really want to. I ignored it and continued. "At eight, you'd think I would remember him but I don't. I have not one single memory of him. The only person I remember when I was that young, was a man who was married to my mother for a long time."Memories from the past assaulted me and instead of shutting them out, I let myself

LAURA Alex's eyes followed me as I dashed into the bathroom.I didn't come with anything since I hadn't planned on spending the night so I pumped his body wash onto my palm and lathered my body. Less than seven minutes later, I was hurrying out of the shower. As I dried off, I thought about how much time I was going to burn in going to my place, changing, then finally going to work. If only I could go directly from here. It would save time, yes, but then I didn't have appropriate work attire. Again, because I hadn't known I would be spending the night. I wrapped a second towel over my hair and walked out of the bathroom. When I got back into the room, Alex was lying back on the bed like a king, arms under his head with his legs slightly spread. Get this, he was totally naked and wasn't making any efforts to cover himself. And. He. Was. Sporting. Wood. Did this man not care for my sanity at all?"Cover yourself up," I told him, making deliberate efforts to keep my eyes averted as

I honestly do not know where to start from. But as my friend would say, start from anywhere. I feel like a total ass for leaving this book unupdated for so long but the thing is, school has been after my life. I can't even begin to explain how hectic things have been. On some days when I get back home just when it's starting to get dark, I fall face down on my bed without even eating and wake up the next day for a repeat. There's no time to focus on myself, not to talk about my books and it's crazy because I thought I'd be able to update at least a chapter a week but I've not been able to. And I kept meaning to update a chapter where I would attach a message to let you guys in on what was going on but I never got the chance to. Now that it's looking like I may never get to, I've decided to just send out a message. I hope that I have not lost all my readers and I hope I'll still have you all here when I get back to writing this book because I plan to focus on it all through my holida

LAURAI found him downstairs sitting on the couch, staring blankly at his laptop.He had his back to me and therefore didn’t see me approaching, but the moment I walked into his line of sight, he moved his laptop out of the way and made to stand. Just as he braced his hands on the couch to rise, I stopped in front of him and carefully placed one knee on the outside of his thigh, then the other one, before I lowered onto him.The look of surprise in his eyes made me feel like absolute shit. But then again, I suppose exhibiting such behaviour after the way things had gone between us less than thirty minutes ago was definitely throwing him.I braced his face with my palms and something thawed inside me when he leaned into my touch instantly, his eyes sliding shut as a deep exhale left him.My chest tightened at how tired he looked. How he shoved his face into my hands like he was starved for my affection. Did I not show this man enough that I cared about him?Even I knew the answer to th

LAURA I glanced between Alex and the door, wondering how quickly I could get to it before he caught up to me. He was way taller than me, legs almost twice as long as mine were. For every one of his steps, I had to take two to match. Also, he was standing in front of me, which placed him closer to the door than I was. I could attempt to skirt around him and dash for it but with one outstretched arm, I’d be right back where I was standing now. Besides, if I did manage to run out, what then? It would still take me a while to book a ride and before my ride arrived, Alex would have tossed me over his shoulder and carried me back inside and from the look on his face, he was not above doing that right now.His eyes narrowed as he took note of my discreet glances towards the door. He fixed me with a disbelieving look as he caught on to the direction of my thoughts. “Are you planning on making a break for the door?”Keeping my face neutral, I said, “I’m not.”I had been planning to, but n
