A strong arm wrapped around my waist tightly,cradling me closer to the mascular chest. Hot breathe lingered on my neck,the next one being warm than the last. I creased my eyebrows in confusion, blinking countless times to get rid of the blurry vision.I could tell I was not in my room, on my bed because of the White painting on the wall and the smell of a strong cologne. The bed felt oddly comfortable compared to what I sleep on at home. Stiffly, I turned my head to look at who was sleeping beside me and I almost screamed but I covered my mouth with my hand just in time. My eyes went wide and my body tensed.A masculine figure lay beside me, his jet-black hair was messy and he looked so peaceful while asleep.From my angle,I glanced around the room. From the way things were arranged ,it is a hotel. A very expensive one at that because ain't no way a bed like this exists in a hotel around my hood.Clothes were scattered everywhere on the floor. And even though it's only his and mine,it seemed like a bale was opened in here.I gance at him once again and wonder, how could he sleep so peacefully when everything was a mess?Slowly, I got out of bed,very cautiously because I did not want to wake him up. Also,because I was very conscious about my naked self. My body felt sore but that was least of my problem at the moment. I have to find my way home because I'm pretty sure that my mother is so worried about me. After she confirms my safety,I'm certain she was going to kill me. So much for being a grown up woman and living with a religious mom.I reached for the dress that was thrown across the room and tugged it on in a hurry. Funny how I had taken time to pick it out and how he took a second to get it off me. But it's fair since he's the one who bought it.I looked for my underwear but it was nowhere to be seen, since I didn't have time to waste,I picked my handbag and clutched my heels in my hands.I turned once again to have a last sight. The not so stranger on the bed stirred in sleep and I froze in place.Thankfully, he didn't wake up. I took the opportunity to walk at the door slowly to make sure that I don't wake him up.But before I twisted the metallic doorknob. I turned my head to look at the man one last time.He was tangled in sheets,his chest rose and fell rythmically. His lips were pursed making my mind drift off to a few hours back when I was beneath him.When he was inside of me, thrusting slowly and increasing his pace. Giving and taking at the same time. He twisted me in positions I did not know was possible for the human body.And his lips…those hot and…damn,how he sucked and nibbled. The kiss itself was hot enough to make my panties wet. Yes,it did leave some wetness on the garment and his wicked self took pleasure in it. He sunk his fingers deep inside me till he made sure I begged for him to be inside of me.He promised to give me all that I asked for and God did he deliver. He did not touch me like I was some glass about to break,instead he held with with surerity. He was bold with everything he did and…wow.For a second I was tempted to put down my shoes,take off the dress and crawl back to bed. To his warmth,his sexy form but I didn't because I knew better.Actually,I didn't know any better. I would be more than happy to indulge with him again and again and again.Only that he was someone I passionately hated and someone I was familiar with.My arrogant boss.Desperate not to wake him up,I quietly turned the knob and slid out locking it as I had opened. The last thing I need is him waking up with me still present in the room.I would die from embarrassment and the awkwardness would also kill me.Top that with his sexy body. No wonder he is so full of himself. The man knows what he has and what he gives.To hell with him and everything that has happened between us.Maybe he won't even remember once he wakes up.I hope he doesn't remember any of it.________________"You slept with your boss?!" Mother screamed at me as she handed me the cup of coffee.I sniffed and almost vomited. The smell was so strong,strong enough to kick the hangover out of my body. It was as dark as the soul of the man I had left in the hotel room. The man I'll come face to face with once I go back to the company.I cradle the cup in both of my hands. "You see mom,if only we had remained at the countryside then none of this would have happened."She snorted and sat across from me. "You should have called me."I scoff. "Why? So you can mock us both before forcing us into marriage? Or better yet you preach to us about the sin of sex before marriage.""Yes but mostly so I could see you walk your walk of shame down those corridors." She threw a cushion at me. "How could you!"It was not a question so I did not bother to answer."It's bad,mama.""You need to start going to church." I groan. "If you did then you would have never fallen for the temptions of flesh."I put the cup of coffee on the table and stand. "I think I need another shower." I stand."Princess?" I stop and sigh. If I had the energy I would have rebuked that name. "We came here to get a better life, remember?"How can I forget.I nod and go to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and just stood there letting the water wash away all my filth.Maybe I should start going to church.But why should I when then one we go to worship there doesn't listen to me. He allowed my father to die. I begged and pleaded with him. I even promised to not kiss a man,ever. The only thing he had to do was allow my father to survive.He did not. I watched as mother prayed during the day and cried by his bed at night. With all that,he still allowed him to wither away in bed.He didn't keep his promise and so I broke mine. Now we are even.A knock comes. "Princess,your phone."I wrap a towel around myself and step out."Hello?""We need to talk."All the energy I had left my body.Desdemona It was all good.The joy in the house, the laughter shared, the plays they engaged in, the only things being created were good memories.It was all good.Too good to let it last.The pair had sidelined me in all that they did. Baking, cooking, playing games, I was even blindfolded while they were watching a movie.Here they were thinking of baking again. Apparently my daughter loved the activity so much she wants to do it for the rest of her life. Worst part is she wants to do it with Ettiene!“Molly,dear, I think its time to get back home. You have to go to the kindergarten tomorrow.”She whines and jumps up from the counter. I scream out, reaching for her but she was already in Ettienes hands.“Molly!” I scream. She continues to giggle, completely ignoring me.Ettiene helps her up the counter. Once again, she jumps and lands in his arms“Guys, guys,” I get in between them. “I agree that you are having fun but fun doesn't have to be dangerous.”“Okay Mommy.” She sits.
Desdemona ‘She's matured so fast.’ ‘She acts so reasonably.’Those are words I don't want to hear being used to describe my daughter. That is why I agreed to go out with Ettiene. Not as the father of my child but as a man I am giving a second chance to.My best friend glared at me from the kitchen. Everytime I face him,he avoids eyecontact.“Come on,we can't be doing this everyday. You agreed to let me be.”“Never said I'll smile as I walk you put the door.”Good point.My phone beeps, a message from Ettiene signaling he was here and that I should leave my phone behind.I sigh and call out to Molly.She comes running as usual.“Go over there and kiss Mr. Grumpy goodbye. I'll be back.”Outside, Ettiene had stepped out of the car and was now leaning against it. “What? You plan on kidnapping me?”He laughs and pulls me in his arms for a light kiss.It was over before I could even fight back.“Seriously, you-” I shake my head to clear the fog caused by his stupid kiss.“If you carry yo
DesdemonaMy eyes glared at the ceiling like it was the source of all my problems.I can't do anything in two weeks–less that two weeks actually.I roughly turn to my side and exhale loudly. The clock starred at me reminding me I have four hours to sleep before work.The date offer from Ettiene still lingers in the air. Not because I don't want to go but because he wants to go on a play date with my daughter included.A knock comes before the knob turns. He flips on the lights.“Something told me you were still awake.”“That thing was right.” I sit up.He hands me a glass of milk.“What's keeping you up?”“Ettiene and his stupid family.”He chuckles. “Must be hard.” Silence embraces us and for the first time I was uncomfortable in it.“Hey, you have something to talk about?”“I don't like the guy and the stress he puts over you. No, it's not because I'm I love with you or anything, I hate what he put you through. And I hate that you want to go back to him.”“I'm giving him time to pr
Chapter 43Desdemona Ignoring and moving on, that's what you do when too much information has been dumped on you all at once.A knock comes and I stop swinging around in my chair.“Come in.” His figure brings a light smile to me face. “I didn't expect to see you here.”“Your secretary called me.”“Ah, the new one? he's quite good at his job.”He sits. “Talk to me.”“You are remaining with two weeks till one of you takes the position.”“I'm well aware.”“What are your plans?”“Oh babe, you want me to share them with you so you could sabotage me?”I laugh, brushing him off. “Now why would I do that to the man I'm attracted to.” and the man who hurt me.He sighs and his shoulders slump. “Honestly, I don't know. Two weeks isn't enough to get that much amount, I think jules will have it this time.”I scoff. “And you are just going to let him?”He gives me a weak shrug.“I'll do it. I'll find someone to make it happen.”“It's a lot of money, Desdemona. ‘“I know. First, do you have anyone
MyraThe club was not packed up but the same smell filled the air; sweat, alcohol and cigarettes. Not to forget sex.I clear my throat and step further inside, allowing my eyes to scan over the room.Josh is tall and well built meaning he won't be hard to spot in the crowd.Cold hands grab my arm. “Come this way.”I spin around but that was not fast enough to catch the face of the man dragging me towards the stairs.“Straight ahead, last room.” He orders huskily.I scoff. ‘Rude of him to handle a woman in such a manner.’Nevertheless I follow his direction.Before I could knock the door swings open.“Josh!”“Why are you here?”I stride past him and make myself comfortable.“Is this where you make the drugs?”“Why are you here?” He repeats more sternly than before.“What? I can't come and visit my brother?”He goes round to his seat and goes back to whatever he was doing.“You are completely ignoring me.” And I'll be darned if my voice sounded as whiny as I heard it.He does not reply.
EttieneOkay.The mother and the daughter are going all out in this round."What? What do you mean my father?"Moriah stops and turns. "And for your information,he was not old then,he is old now. Either way,he does not look his age.""The fuck you mean he does not look his age?" Moriahs face does not give anything away."You are seeing him even now? Are you cheating on David? Are you repeating your past?"She gives a nonchalant shrug. "Who says I am?"Waaaait.No way."Oh so it's someone you are…" Ariel's words trail off as realization hits her like a brick.Myra lifts her head from where it was buried in Josh neck."Come again?"Josh had now quit crying and composed himself. He looks up with a scrunched face and puffy eyes. The guy has clearly been through a lot. I feel for him.Kevin who had been silent all this time lets out a long,deep growl. "You two are sisters. Do you want everything spelt out for you?""What are you mad about?" I mumble loud enough for him to hear.He waves
