LOGIN“ Just for tonight,” he added, his fingers already traveling towards me, while his gaze remained locked with mine.“ You should stop,” I said and turned away. “ You will lose your job the second your boss finds out about this. I will pretend you were never here. Leave.”“ Moraine…”“ I said, leave!”Taken aback, he stares at me for long and tilts his head, but he doesn't move. Or leave.A smug smile lifts the corner of his lips. “ I understand you don't want to sound desperate but that's a bit too much. You know, I could help you tonight. No one needs to know. If you don't talk, I won't.” He says, seductively running his fingers over his throbbing length. “ A male stripper? For goodness sake, did he send him to test me or what?” I sigh and click my tongue. “ I will rather fuck myself than give you that chance. Besides, you are not half of the man I f*ck every night. Now get lost before you miss a ball and the chance to ever make any woman happy again.”Gone like a breath, the room se
Teeth buried into my lower lip, my heart race, wondering if he heard me. He grunts and detached, hands firm on my waist.My mind burn with thoughts of what his first question is going to be. “ Probably going to ask me why his son's name.” I ponder, and slowly turned to face him. He neither leaves my waist nor leaves at all.My heart race with time, silence capturing the thumping of my heart in perpetual motion. “ Hey…” he says with a lull in his voice. I don't know if that's a good sign or not. “ Hey,” I reply, lips parted.His gaze softens, dreamy and entranced. “ That felt so good.”I swallow with difficulty. Can't tell if that's a bait or not, but it doesn't help my dilemma at all.“ One would think you would have enjoyed getting sucked moments ago.” I say and roll my eyes. He chuckles, wearing his smile in the brightness of his eyes.“ Were you jealous?”“ Shouldn't I be? I will be damned if I wasn't?”His lips lifts by the side like he's amused by a play thing. “ I had to brin
He hesitates, unwilling to let go of my peaks. I pushed him away, and nudge him out of sight, behind the door.Straightening up my evening dress, I dressed my hair, hoping the damage wasn't much, while my heartbeat thrummed within the walls of my chest. I pull the knob and stepped out with a straight face, expecting him to be there, instead I see one of his friends.“ Hey!”“ Sorry, I need to use the bathroom.”My heart skipped a beat, the relief I had felt only seconds before snapping back into anxiety. “ No!” I blurted before he could push the door open. “ I made a mess in there. I would hate for you to see it. There's another bathroom nearby.” I lied and motioned in the direction. He flashed a faint smile and strutted towards the direction. I inhaled and took a moment to pull myself together. Moments later, I joined the conversation on the comparison of Alexander's wealth and power to the president's, and all along, I insisted the president was greater. I alone.“ Why do I feel l
Eyes lingering in space, I kept quiet like I hadn't heard him. If I stutter, at a loss of an explanation, it will be the end of me. A man like Alexander will easily pick up the trail from there." Luthor, what time are you talking about?"He lifted his gaze at him and narrowed his eyes. " You chose a pesky woman for a wife." He gruffed, sulky, like he practically hates everything about me at the moment. "Sadly, she thinks winning me over will be instrumental to a closer bonding with you. I gave her a day to try. She failed..." He said and glanced at me, wearing a smirk. " She even had to lecture me about bringing a woman into the house."" Soon, I'm afraid there will be no space for me anywhere here, because your wife may dismiss me." He spoke maliciously. Alexander glanced at me, tapped his son on the shoulder and walked inside, ignoring me. As dusk descended completely, I crawled into bed and pulled the sheets over my body. Choosing quietness over drama, but not up to a minute lat
Breath caught in my throat, heartbeat pacing with expectancy, I lingered below his eye level, my eyes wandering up from his lips to his eyes at intervals.“ You are right. We should go.”I gulped loudly, feeling a burn in my chest. Like a stab of rejection I hadn't seen coming. Particularly, not from him.“What an idiot I have become?”With the way he said it, his tone and his choice of words suggest he has realized we shouldn't be doing this…we shouldn't be here, right now. While I could argue it's what I have reminded him every time he made a move on me, I feel stupid for succumbing to this wild desires and Luthor's unending move of seduction.“ Yes,” I supported his decision, with a shaky voice. An agreement I utilized to save my face. He smiles contentedly, and brushed his fast growing hair. Unlike when he returned, his hair have grown above the level the military permitted, but it looked more cropped by the day.It was noon when we got back home. While berating myself for the sli
“ How crazy can he be?” I queried myself at first. On one hand, I hadn't understood why a female lead in a movie would be my stunt double. Doesn't make sense!On the other hand, the comment about our resemblance had begun to sink in. I didn't notice, but my mind became a chaotic struggle between why he used someone that looks like me, and why I'm needed at all if he already had a replacement for me. But above all, I had begun to think about the deal: it can't be good.And it was confirmed. Crystal clear.“ I knew it!”Luthor wouldn't make me an offer if it would be easy to execute my part of the bargain. “ How could I be so stupid?!” I thought, and face palmed right after I had thrown the script at him. With the room full, and my presence unwelcomed, the action garnered more attention than a record breaking victory would. Eyes turned my way with a combination of disapproval, disdain and an unmistakable line of " get lost" boldly inscribed on foreheads that furrowed in fine annoyan
“ What kind of devil are you?!” I got up, and strutted away, but he grabs my hand before I could make it past him. “ You don't want me, and you don't want me to be with another. What kind of a witch are you?”Fists clenched, muscles stretched, I fumed inside, biting my lower lips. “ What? Have you
“ What's the meaning of this?” I snarled, recognising the exact time and day the record came from.“ Let me see…uhhmmm…that there, to you, means a mistake. But not to me. It was the best moment of my life. You fucking took my virginity, Moraine! You can't just act like nothing happened between us…”
It feels like the war has come home to me in a pink dress, and a well rounded baby bump. I swallow, my eyes stinging with unshed tears. She's having a baby.My mind re-enacts the scene of that day. The grenade in my hand. Her unsuspecting husband in the uncompleted building we had used as a tent i
Questions burn in my head. Thoughts swirl. Since it's not me, who is it?I couldn't imagine anyone out there bearing my complete name. And on second thought, it strikes me that this could be a set up, and it might be the reason for Adams violent attitude today.Then again, he could be looking for a
