The Surprise

Brayden gazed down at Mercy, He grabbed her chin gently and lift her head so, He was looking into her eyes and wanted her badly, He wanted to kiss her and do much more. As if she could read his mind, She devoured his mouth and He was already bitting her lips, His hands roamed through her body, She quickly wrapped her legs around his waist. Brayden lips curved into a smile at desperation and wanting her more and more.

The door opened gently. Brayden who was lost in the lust shouted.

"Who is that."

Madam  Nora quickly apologize. 

"Am sorry." She closed the door gently.

Brayden continue kissing down her jaw and further down to her neck. He bit her lips and dig her nails into the shoulder to stifle a moan. His hands roamed all the sides of her body, down to her back, over to her bottom. This go on and on until Mercy was writhing, trembling and squirming.

Brayden discharged Mercy knowing that he has a query from Madam Nora. She is like a mother to him, She advice, correct him, She is not a soft person. She make sure She punish him for every wrongs. She is exactly like her Mother.

His Mother treat him the same way and He also tremble and listen to her carefully. Madam Nora was his maid since He was born and they were so attached that people don't know She is not his biological Mother.

"Mother." He whispered.

Madam Nora ignored him

"Mother, am sorry"

"When will you stop apologizing, when will you stop being childish and face reality. forget about the past and pick up the pieces and move on with your life."She  muttered.

"Brayden, Don't keep hurting yourself for the past and face the present and your future. You are no more a kid that that all you know is women and liquor." She pleaded.

Brayden knows She would not stop there, She would go on and on talking about all his bad attitude but He is not in the mood to hear it. She want to stop her and the only way is begging.

"Am sorry Mother, I promise I won't do that again." He pleaded again.

"Brayden please change, don't continue like this. This should be the last time. Your Mother give her responsibility because She knows am capable. But you are turning out to be the opposite of what I have promised."

"I promise Mummy, this will be the last time." He pleaded.

"I hope you will change for good and not disappoint me." She sighed.

Hee hugged and peck her to calm her down.

..........................................

As soon as Ashley got back home, She took her time to groom herself properly. She shave meticulously, then soaked herself in a fragrant bubble bath, She had a hot bath, when the water strarted getting cold She Stepped out, dried herself and put on something nice and simple.

She lay in bed thinking about how her day went, She thought about the contract.

Someone knocked at the door, who could it be, She thought.

"Come in"

Someone jumped in using a mask and dancing towards Ashley.

"Oh, you got scared" Josh grinned removing the mask.

"What is this? And what are you doing here?" She yelled.

"You seems annoyed my princess." Josh marvelled.

She know she acted harshly but She can't help it,  She have a lot on her mind lately, Josh around her makes her feel irritated, She can't just help but scream."

"Am fine, just stressed up."

"Okay, am here to surprise you." He blurted.

"Joah, you are really unbelievable, you are in my house to surprise me." She sputtered.

"Yes" He muttered looking serious.

"Okay, let's see what you have."

"Surprise, surprise, surprise. Today is my princess birthday, today is my princess birthday" sang Josh.

"Happy birthday Ashley" Josh shouted.

"Haaaa." She squeaked.

Tears started to fall like rain in her eyes, She couldn't believe what is happening, She couldn't believe what Her eyes are seeing in from of her, She don't know how to react at the thought that She was actually celebrated by Josh. No one ever made her so emotional like this, She was utterly impressed and overwhelmed that She begin to shed tears, tears drop down her cheek. She lost control of herself, She actually forget today is her birthday, nobody wished her not even her parent.

Who told him? She was curious beyond belief, She hug Josh and bury her face in his chest. He held her closer and hugged her tightly, a deep silence settled in every nooks and cranny of the room. A wide smile curved Josh lips, this was something He had never dared to do before but having Ashley in his arms is an awesome experience. She felt eased in his arms and concluded that Josh is the man, He knows so much about her and She bet He will obey her and grant her wishes. She decided to throw herself to him, 'if there is something a man can't resist, it's the body of a beautiful woman.' She make the first move and they kissed for sometime thinking it will lead to something else but it continues and Ashley felt Josh should take it to another level but He did not, She felt this is going to continue forever if She don't stop what She started.

"Am sorry." She muttered.

"Am sorry too" Josh ignoring her eyes.

"So this is how it feels" She suddenly mumbled.

"Ta daa, Josh shouted "Birthday girl,it is time to cut the cake."

"You try so hard to impress me, believe me am impressed" She chortled in happiness.

Josh smiled at this confession, She cut the cake and make a wish, Her wish is to get someone soon for the contract marriage that will make her a Mother and care for her. She can't wait to hold her child in her arm and even celebrate her birthday. She drink herself to stupor and her vision turns a bit blurry and She fall asleep.
