The next morning, Beauty slowly opened her eyes, the lingering grogginess of the fever made her feel a bit heavy. The sunlight filtered softly through the curtains.As she stirred on the bed, she perceived a delicious aroma in the room. Her stomach grumbled, and for a moment, she thought Jessie had come to take care of her after all. "Jessie..."Beauty muttered weakly, her voice scratchy and faint.She shifted under the covers and realized she felt a bit better, her fever no longer burning as intensely. The towel that had been on her forehead was now resting beside her, and she noticed her clothes had been changed into something clean and comfortable, too.She must have been really out of it for Jessie to do all that."Thank you, Jessie".She muttered with a weak smile.Curious and hungry, she pushed herself up with shaky arms, still feeling a bit weak.Nevertheless, she was determined to go to the kitchen and say at least good morning to Jessie and thank her for coming to her aid i
Meanwhile, Bruno was so focused, his eyes moving between the cookbook propped up on the counter and the pan he was stirring, completely unaware that Beauty was standing there, frozen in shock. The way his muscles flexed every time he moved, his intense concentration as he tried to follow the recipe. It was almost too much for Beauty to handle.Beauty felt her face glow redder by the second, and she quickly tried to snap out of it. She wanted to say something, anything, but her voice caught in her throat. "Why does he look so good in an apron? It's just an apron" she thought, mentally kicking herself for even thinking about it. And when he turned slightly to reach for something, Beauty's eyes went wide at the full display of his length pressing against the fabric, so low she could see the V-shaped line, and that long weight of his... "Oh... my God." She immediately slapped her hand over her mouth, trying to stifle the gasp that escaped her lips. This can't be real.Bruno, hearing
She could hardly think straight with Bruno all over her like this. She instinctively started fanning herself with her fingers again.Her eyes darted around, desperately trying to avoid looking at him, but it was impossible to ignore how close he was, how his muscled chest and arms towered over her.He tilted his head, his expression puzzled. "Hot? It doesn't feel that warm in here..." He leaned in even closer, looking concerned and, looking genuinely confused."Maybe I should check your temperature again..."Beauty practically choked on her own breath as he leaned in, his face just inches from hers.She could smell him... God, he smelled so good...and the way his muscles flexed with every slight movement was so distracting, it made her head spin."No, no, it's fine! Really! You don't need to...um...check again! I'm okay. Just... um... just needed some air."She blurted out, stepping back quickly, her heart pounding in her chest. Bruno blinked, still concerned, but he took a small s
Bruno, noticing Beauty's flushed face and the whole situation, finally decided to do something about it.He awkwardly cleared his throat and excused himself."I'll, uh....go put on my clothes," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck as he hurried out of the kitchen.Beauty, still standing by the counter, took deep breaths, trying to calm her racing heart.How am I supposed to be normal after all that? She thought, fanning herself with her hand.The image of Bruno in the kitchen apron was burned into her mind, and the lower part of his body... she couldn't stop the blush from creeping up her neck.She shook her head, then something hit her."My clothes!"A few minutes later, Bruno returned, but this time in his regular clothes-thankfully more covered now in a simple T-shirt and jeans.He found Beauty hugging her body as if she were naked."You... you changed my clothes?" she asked slowly."I... apologize for that. I had to take them off because of your temperature. I didn't mean any
Beauty stood up from the bed and sat in the chair slowly, staring at the plate, trying to dispel the awkwardness from their earlier encounter.Deep down,she couldn't deny how sweet it was that Bruno had taken care of her. Her mind, however, was elsewhere, wondering how nice and full his... weapon would feel in her palms if she could get hold of it.Where did that come from?! Thank goodness no one can read minds, Beauty thought."Thanks," she mumbled, nervously picking up her fork.Bruno leaned against the bed stand, watching her with a hint of worry in his eyes."You really scared me last night. I'm glad you're feeling better."His voice was quiet, sincere, but the way he looked at her sent a shiver down her spine.Even when he wasn't trying, his aura and presence were overwhelming to Beauty."I'm sorry I made you worry," Beauty replied, unsure if that was the response he wanted.Bruno chuckled, folding his arms. "You don't have to apologize."Beauty nodded and continued chewing the
Beauty's breath hitched, and she felt her whole body heat up under his touch.Bruno went back to his position, and silence fell between them again.Beauty picked at her food. She could feel Bruno's eyes on her, again!She struggled to keep her hands steady as she lifted a forkful of pancakes to her mouth.As she tried to focus on finishing her food, Bruno suddenly spoke up, his voice soft but sincere."You know... I never realized how much I cared about you until last night. I've always had a soft spot for you, but..."Beauty froze, her fork hanging mid-air. Her breath hitched at his words, her heart flipping in her chest."W-What?"Bruno continued."Seeing you sick, being here... It made me realize I don't want to see you like that ever again. It was scary. Please, be more careful."Beauty's cheeks flushed. She didn't know what to say.Was this an indirect confession? Was Mr. Bruno actually saying he cared about her, or was she overthinking and being delusional?The thought made her
She wanted him to be more than just the kind Mr. Bruno. She wanted him to show her off, kiss her, make love to her 24 hours a day, and have his children."Okay, I went far with that one," she thought, her cheeks suddenly feeling warm as she was too shy to meet his gaze.Besides, one of her exes had shown her off just because he saw her as desperate for such love language, not because he really wanted to. He did it to gain her trust and turn her into a sex toy. At the end of the day, he had his hands wrapped around the tiny waist of a beautiful woman. The standard.---After the meal, Beauty felt full and thankful."Thanks, I enjoyed..."She raised her face to look at him, only to find him dozing off.He was sitting on the floor beside her bed, resting his back against it. His posture was relaxed, his head slightly tilted to the side, his breathing slow and steady.He looked so angelic.The sight of him like that made her heart skip a beat."The caring giant must be stressed out. I be
Bruno opened his eyes slowly."You're done eating?""Yes, thanks a lot. It was delicious."Beauty smiled at him."I'm sure it's awful, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Now, you have to take your medicine," he said, standing up.Beauty's heart raced at the mention of medicine. She couldn't let him know she hated taking them!"Emm... Sir Bruno, I can take care of myself now. You need to rest.""Just Bruno," he replied, reaching into his pocket.He pulled out a small bottle of medicine."You need to take this, don't worry about me" he said softly, handing her the medicine with a glass of water, his eyes filled with concern."I will... not now," Beauty replied, avoiding eye contact, but he was quick to figure it out."You don't like pills?"Beauty's heart skipped a beat as she brushed an annoying strand of hair back behind her ear."No... of course not! I mean, I'm an adult. I'm not a child afraid of taking pills," she scoffed awkwardly."Then take it right now, in front of me," Bruno instru
Just then, a knock sounded on thedoor."Mmmm...Bruno... someone's knocking..Beauty moaned.Bruno responded by mumbling something inaudible while feasting on her breasts."Bruno... Bruno!" Beauty called, louder this time.Bruno's eyes snapped open, his breathing still heavy, his hands clutching the pillow as if it were her.He was lying on the bed, fully dressed, he looked over the beds; he was alone.He was lying on his bed, fully dressed.Turning towards the door, he saw Beauty and her friend talking, then both paused and gazed at him.Beauty looked like she had a lot of questions; she was also dressed in pajamas."Was it a dream?" he wondered, closing his eyes slowly as he realized and cursed."Yeah... I took my bath before her last night. I should've known...Damn... I almost lost my virginity to Beauty in the dream."He cursed.Suddenly he felt a tightness in his groin and rushed to the bathroom."What's with him?" Jessie askedBeauty, surprised at Bruno's actions.Beauty glanc
Trying to keep up, he over-swung a tad, and his right foot slipped on the sudsy shower floor, slamming his knee into the tile wall.He let out a pained hiss.Beauty gagged loudly as his entire twelve inches pressed deeper into her throat.She backed off for a moment, and Bruno saw his cock reemerge from her mouth.Beauty coughed to clear her throat and wrapped her lips around him again.She took half of it in, filling her mouth, and put a hand on each of his buttocks, squeezing as hard as she could."She's very experienced," Bruno thought.He had a flashback of the video with Stephen, his brows arching as he tried to wave it away from his mind.Then she sucked him with a force like she was trying to siphon gasoline from a gas tank three blocks away.Bruno almost fell over again, but within three or four hearty jolts, he felt his release nearing."I can't... I can't hold it anymore," he groaned loudly, moving faster.Beauty held onto him as tightly as possible, enduring until he finish
Beauty stood outside the bathroom door, drying with a towel tied around her bosom, her body still wet. Bruno had persisted in taking a shower.An idea came to her as revenge.She bit her lower lip and tiptoed slowly to the bathroom.There was mist in the air and a loud pounding of the shower.Fortunately, it was a large shower stall, and Bruno was facing sideways with his head directly under the showerhead.Beauty opened the smoked glass door and stepped into the shower."What the fu--," Bruno exclaimed as he turned to face her, startled, clearly not expecting her to come inside the bathroom.Not after she was embarrassed by him seeing her naked a few minutes ago.Was she just playing with him?"Need any help?" Beauty asked, grinning.Then she lost the towel around her bosom. It dropped down, and so did Bruno's eyes and jaw.Beauty smiled softly at him.She grabbed a bar of soap off the ledge and began lathering up her palms."Need some help?" she repeated.Bruno face flushed and he r
After the meal, Beauty didn't return to her room like the others; she stayed outside until night fell.Jessie joined her, and they chatted about everything that had happened. They talked, laughed, and vented, though only for a short time before Jessie finally retired to bed, leaving Beauty alone with her thoughts.Beauty checked the time on her phone. By now, Bruno must be fast asleep, she thought, a grin sneaking across her face as she walked quietly down the hallway.Slowly, she opened the door of the room, tiptoed inside, and closed the door quietly behind her.She found Bruno sleeping on the bed. Then she felt very uncomfortable in her skin, so she knew she had to take a bath as fast as possible.She wanted to take her clothes off, then paused and stole a glance back at Bruno on the bed. Her cheeks flushed hotly.He has seen her naked many times, right? He accepted her; what is she afraid of?On second thought, Beauty waved the motivation away."He must have noticed I'm in the roo
Kathy's gaze narrowed as she watched Beauty and Bruno's interaction across the table. She had been watching and enduring their interaction, but not anymore.She decided to do something to grab everyone's attention. With a smirk, she leaned forward."Wow, Beauty... slow down with the eating... it's embarrassing... you are a lady," she whispered just loud enough to grab everyone's attention.Every head turned towards her.Beauty's fork hung in the air as she chewed slowly."Excuse me?" Beauty replied with a frown."Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, it's just a joke," Kathy replied and smiled at her."Well, thank goodness she has an appetite," Bruno cut in. "Maybe you should eat more, Ms. Jones, add some weight so you won't have to come to my office crying about getting beaten up by your fellow lady."Bruno shrugged.The rest of them looked at him as if he'd just learned how to speak. He was never this blunt; he was usually soft-spoken and gentle.Jessie made sure her laughter was loud.
As Beauty sat, still lost in thought after her call with Nia, she heard a sudden burst of voices and laughter approaching the living room.Lola Cruz walked into the room with her team, their arms laden with platters of Puerto Rican delicacies that filled the air with mouth-watering aromas."Alright, everyone! Come on, gather up! We've got a feast waiting for you!" she called out.Her energy was infectious.Ferdinand and his assistant, May, stood beside her."Can you help, May?" Ferdinand said.Although a bit hesitant, May gave him a nod and walked toward the rooms' passageway, knocking on each door.As soon as they opened, she forced the words out."Ms. Cruz has invited everyone for dinner in the banquet hall. She's waiting in the main room; please head down promptly.""Finally, food," Jessie stretched and walked back into the room.Kathy was brushing her hair, getting ready for the meal and trying not to appear less attractive. She followed the hairbrush with blush, lip gloss, and ma
"Finally, I get to hear your voice. How have you been?" Nia asked softly over the phone."Hey, Nia! I am great, and you?" Beauty answered with a smile."Oh, I am good. I'm happy to hear you're doing great. And Jessie?""She's fine.""Great... mind if I ask, how are you coping... you know... the reunion... Beyoncé and...?"Beauty sighed deeply."It's... well... It's ...it's a bit complicated," Beauty admitted, glancing towards their room, her mind swirling with memories of their earlier interaction."Complicated? You mean because of him? Don't tell me you're thinking about ignoring the fact that he disrespected you and was sleeping with that bitch...""He was innocent, Nia."Nia was quiet for a minute, as if she misheard those words, and had to ask."Innocent?"Beauty sighed, rubbing her temples as if trying to erase the memory of how she messed everything up."Bruno was blackmailed by Beyoncé, Nia. He had to give in to save me from traumatizing shame.""What shame... how... what black
Beauty coughed and cleared her throat."Can you just... stay over there, on your side of the room? And put on a shirt, please..."She paused abruptly, noticing his clothes scattered across the floor. She picked them up before continuing."And look, I don't want all this mess here. We both have to share this room for the next few days on this tour, so don't..."She turned, and her gaze landed at his chest level, so you couldn't blame her for spacing out for a moment, staring at him."You were saying?"His voice brought her back.Beauty looked up, blinking."Please put on a shirt, for crying out loud!" she snapped, starting to gather up his things from the floor.What is this mess for?Is he a toddler?Bruno lifted a thick brow in a questioning arch."Why should I put on a shirt?" he replied dryly.She rolled her eyes."It's called decency, Mister Sir. You wouldn't like it if I walked around butt naked."At this point, she had no idea what she was saying.Her speech was translated to he
Beauty stood there, frozen in the hallway, feeling a mix of nerves and frustration as she watched Jessi-her supposed "best friend"-smirk, wink, and slip into her room, leaving her stranded in front of the door to the room she'd be sharing with Bruno.Jessie is going to pay for this!Beauty yelled inside. Then she glanced nervously at the door, taking a deep breath to prepare herself for the unknown."Okay, Beauty. You got this. Just... pretend he's not there. Self-respect, dignity. No stupid decisions; remember, show him you are not that Beauty anymore... it won't be easy, but good luck," she whispered to herself.After one more deep breath, she opened the door and walked in.The room was much bigger than she feared it would be, with two king-sized beds and wardrobes on each side.Thankfully, it was a relief for her.Maybe this would be easier than she thought."Please, please let there be separate bathrooms," she muttered, her eyes scanning the room.Only one bathroom in sight.Does
