  Violet "Gaius." I exclaimed, surprised to see him waiting when I stepped outside, Diego behind me. Gaius was dressed in black jean trousers and jacket like he was heading out. "Hey beautiful." He extracted his hands where they were behind him and thrusted a bouquet of red rose forward, catching me by surprise. "For you." "Thank you." I collected it, aware of Diego's presence. I chanced a glance at him, but his face was calm. He extended a hand to Gaius. "You must be Violet's husband."Gaius took his hand without bothering to correct him. "It's a pleasure." Then his gaze came to rest on me. "Picking you up, my goddess. How does dinner sound?" "Dinner?" I asked, my shaky voice mirroring my feelings. "Yeah. All that dancing requires fuel.""Well, I guess I don't need to walk you out anymore." Diego said cooly. Too cool. "Yes, buddy. I'll take it from here." He reached for me, his palm on the small of my back. The touch soothed me as much as it confused me.

  Dominic The next day, I was about getting into my car to drive to work when my brother came out of his wing, preparing for his early morning run. He tipped his head in my direction."Hey buddy."I jogged up to him. Gaius slapped my back. "You should work from home sometimes, Dominic. Why do this very morning?" I ignored his question. Gaius never showed any interest in the business. He was content with his paintings. "Have you ever heard of someone named Diego? Someone Violet mentioned in passing?"Gaius paused, searching his memory, then he shook his head. "Doesn't ring any bell. Although, if there's anyone, maybe it's a new guy from her Salsa dance class. She been taking that for a while." I heard the reprimand in Gaius last information, suggesting I might have no idea what she did with her time. "I'm aware," I ground out. "Did you ever meet him?""No. Why are you asking these questions?" I glanced at Gaius. "I just have a bad feeling about him."Eyes narrowed, Gai

  Diego I froze with my glass of wine still mid air for a second and I had to look twice to be sure, in case I'd misread it. Her message glowed on my phone. 'What you up to, boy? I'm horny.'All this while, I'd maintained my restraint, burying the heat of my affection and desires. I'd been careful, respectful even though I wanted more with Violet.And now, Violet was undoing all that by just one text. She'd been so beautiful tonight. And that dance - God! I'd wanted her to remain in my arms forever. It took a lot of practiced control to not get a hard on on that dance platform. She was the one crossing that line now. I set the glass down and picked up my phone to type my response. 'You’re playing with fire, Violet. I’ve wanted you since the second I laid eyes on you. Don’t text me that unless you’re ready for me to show up and make you forget every man who’s ever touched you.' The silence after I hit send stretched into several minutes and I started to regret my respo

  DiegoThe atmosphere was pulsing with the chatter of people, slow soothing music that inspired a few to tap their feet on the dance platform. The space wasn't too crowded, but the people weren't few either and I moved through the room, laughing with the regulars, making the newcomers feel welcome while trying to enjoy the party myself. But through it all, my eyes kept straying towards the entrance, waiting, hoping for her arrival. When, she eventually arrived, I blew a breath of relief. In jeans and a cold shoulder top, her hair in a ponytail, she looked simple yet breathtaking. When our eyes met, her lips pulled in a small smile that went straight to my heart. It was all the encouragement I needed to walk up to her. "I'm surprised you came." I said, careful to keep my voice light. We were just getting back on neutral ground and I don't want to scare her with my feelings. She shrugged, her hands digging into the back pockets of her jeans. . "I figured I could use a break.""Exactl

  Violet I flipped the eggs over in the pan, savouring the silence in the house while my eggs sizzled and mentally constructing the next scene for my novel. My laptop was seating beside my mug of tea, the cursor blinking questionably at me, knowing the deadline for my publisher was creeping in and while I was close to wrapping up the book, some chapters still remained and a couple others needed to be rewritten. I turned off the gas and slipped my eggs on a plate, adding crispy bacon, melted cheese and toast before settling down in front of my laptop. While I ate, my phone lighted up to show a message pop up. It was Dominic. 'Forgot some documents in my home office. I'm coming to get them.'It's been almost a week of Dominic doing his possible best to avoid me. He worked till late, getting home at night, only to be out very early before I'm awake. It hurt, but I was slowly withdrawing from getting him to see me. Besides, I still felt betrayed by his admission about getti

  Violet When I woke up in the morning, I was washed by an overwhelming sense of guilt. The sunlight spilling across the sheets and the warmth of the room did nothing to soothe me. What have I done? Gaius was my brother-in-law and I'd slept with him. Last night, I had not been thinking when I ran out of the house and into Gaius's arms. All I wanted was to proof to myself that I was still desirable. And Gaius had proved that I was. The soreness between my legs were a sweet reminder of everything we did last night. Still, the guilt didn't go away. I rushed out of bed naked and hurriedly found my robe. I looked around for my panties and when I didn't find it, I banished the search and left the room. Downstairs, the scent of coffee was inviting. Gaius was in the kitchen, terribly good looking with his hair tousled and chest, bare. He was flipping something in a pan like this was normal. Like we did this all the time. He looked over his shoulder and smiled softly. "Hey, you're
