I was just about to fall asleep when I heard the noise - a door opening somewhere in the house.
I sat up quickly, alert. I had not been able to get her off my mind since I laid my eyes on her and I was disappointed when her father asked her to go to her room. Sirena. Maria. Her name felt like a melody I couldn't stop humming. I listened carefully for another sound but none came. I decided to go to the kitchen and grab a drink, water or probably something stronger if Duke had anything stashed, to calm me down. I was sure Duke would not mind me walking around his house. We were best friends, after all, practically brothers since high school and I was definitely not going to rob him. Grabbing my phone from the nightstand, I got off the bed and headed to the kitchen. And when I got to the kitchen, there she was. Standing in front of the refrigerator, drinking orange juice straight from the carton, her back turned to me. An angel. I looked at her hair, remembering how soft it had felt in my hands as she choked on my cock. Fuck, I cursed under my breath. My eyes travelled from her head, down to her heavenly body. Though her back was turned to me, I could still see the sides of her breasts. Her gown was sheer, her skin glowed under the light and she had no underwear on. I could see her ass through the material. So round, so soft, so beautiful. I could feel myself getting hard. I don't know what I was expecting when Duke called me but this…she was way better than anything I had in mind. She was exquisite. Her beauty was out of this world, so mesmerising that I had successfully put thoughts of Cienna behind me. I chuckled within me and leaned on the door, still taking in the beauty before me. The door creaked from the impact. She turned around abruptly, fear and surprise in her eyes. I watched it fade into anger once she recognised me. “What are you doing here?” She hissed, her voice low and sharp. Her hands went up to conceal her barely covered nipples. “It's literally midnight. What are you still doing here?” She asked again I chuckled at her attempt to intimidate me with her tone. Maybe I had let her be in charge last night but I was and would always be the one in charge. I moved around the kitchen island, closing the distance between us. “You see, your father invited me to spend the night.” I said, in a low tone. I stood in front of her, only a few steps away from her, close enough for me to feel the heat radiating from her body. “Why?” Her voice was laced with suspicion. “It rained. It rained so hard. So he asked me to stay.” I replied. “Just like that? Why? You came with a car so why couldn't you leave under the rain.” She asked, eyeing me. “You know what, whatever. So, he let you spend the night and now you think you can just move around however you like.” “I heard a noise and I came to check.” With her breasts so close to me, it was taking a lot to keep my focus on her face. More than once, my eyes had wandered, lingering on the curve of her collarbone, the soft swell beneath the fabric and I knew she had noticed. “Well, You've seen what it is now. You can go back to your room.” She turned away from me and picked out three plates stacked with sliced fruits from the refrigerator. But I could not leave. Unable to hold myself anymore, I wrapped my arms around her waist and pressed myself into her back. Her body stiffened for a brief moment and then softened. Her warm body against mine was doing things to me. I brought my nose to her shoulders and inhaled her scent. It was intoxicating - she smelled just the same as last night. She tried to wiggle free but I held her in place with one arm while the other hand moved round her body, teasing her bare skin under that flimsy night wear she had on. I squeezed her one breast and then the other, lust taking complete control over me. "Leave me alone.” she said in a high whisper and pushed herself away from me, still clutching the plates. But I could see the need in her eyes. I could see she wanted me just as much as I wanted her. “What are you doing? Anyone could walk in. Do you know what would happen if my parents see us like this?” “They will if you keep talking.” She looked at me like I had gone crazy. “You know, I didn't think I'd see you again after all that happened last night and you know I…” “I don't know what you're talking about.” She said quickly, but her voice was betrayed by the flush of her cheeks and the way her eyes couldn't meet mine. It was a flimsy lie and we both knew it. “Surely you have a bit of a memory of it, my good girl.” I said, amused. She went red in the face from embarrassment. “I'd like to hear you call me daddy again, Sirena.” I pulled closer to her again, using my finger to lift her face. She inched closer to me like she was about to kiss me, then she stopped. “I said I have no idea of what you're talking about. And you better shut up about it. I could be a killer as much as I could be a slut.” She gave me one final look and walked away, leaving me hanging onto her scent. Did she just threaten me? I chuckled. She was something and I was here for it.She kissed me like she was starving.My teeth grazed the bottom of her lip as my hands slipped under her ass, nudging her to move. She giggled against my lips, “Well, someone's impatient,”I groaned, my grip tightening around the soft folds of skin in her waist as she began grinding against me, her eyes locked on mine as if she wanted to see for herself that I was enjoying her sweet torture. “Is this what you want, Daddy?” She asked, pausing to kiss me and then continuing before I could give an answer. I let out a low, guttural groan. “Yes. Yes. Yes,” She cried, grinding harder, trying to reach her orgasm. The sound of our hips slapping together and her wonderful moans filled the car.Her fingers tangled in my hair as she threw her head back, moaning louder. Her fingers slid up till she was playing with her nipples. The sight made me harder. I took over playing her nipples, wanting her to concentrate on her own pleasure. “I missed you, Daddy,” Those words, that tone brought me
A hush fell over the group. Every one looked from Vanessa to me to Maria. Maria looked grateful that I had stepped in. Vanessa, on her part, cowered under my threatening gaze. I understood her anger about me being with Maria since Cienna was her best friend but what I didn't understand was her spewing her venom at the innocent one here.It was funny that she was attacking Maria, the same girl I had just caught her husband ogling at.“I was only joking, Petyr,” She said, “What? Miss Pretty can't take a joke?”But the damage had been done already. Maria stood, her chair scrapping backward. “Excuse me, I need some air,” She said in a steady voice as she forced a smile but I could see the slight tremor in her hands. She turned and walked away while I shot daggers at Vanessa.I stood and followed her through the crowd, calling her name but she only picked up her pace. “Sirena. Wait please,”I'd wanted tonight to be perfect but Vanessa just had to ruin it. I caught up with Maria as sh
I slumped at the backseat of the cab, my forehead pressed against the cool glass of the window.The city was alive, cars honking, people laughing but inside me, it was a storm of frustration.All day I had tried to get a glimpse of Petyr but he'd been in his office, engrossed in meetings and whatever billionaires did.I had managed to hear his voice only once when he was giving orders to Mrs. LeVaughn and it made my ache worse.I twisted the strap of my bag. My heart was heavy with a kind of childish, grumpy longing I couldn't decide if I liked or not.Just then, my phone buzzed in my lap, disrupting my train of thoughts. I gave it a bored glance, thinking it was just some email from work but it was Petyr.My eyes lit up with excitement as I swiped on the message.It was short. Straight forward but enough to make my heart leap.Sirena, there’s a dress waiting for you at home. My driver will pick you up at 8.I did a little dance out of sheer joy, earning me a look from the cab driver
I knew she recognised me. It was obvious in the way she stared back at me too, even as she hugged Maria.As we sat down, a waiter came around,“What would you have, Madames?”While we placed our orders, I caught Erica glancing at me. “Oh my gosh, it's so good to finally see you, Erica,” Maria said, “It's crazy we've been friends for so long and we're just meeting. It’s been, what, ten years? I was just telling Kiara on the way over about our letters, all those dreams we used to write about. Remember how you’d sketch those little flowers in the margins?”Maria had given me a brief rundown of how she had met Erica on our way here.From what I had gathered the few times I paid attention, they had gotten to know each other through a social media post.Erica had reposted something about mental health awareness. It was so disturbing that Maria, being the good person she was, had reached out to Erica.It turned out Erica had made the repost at a time when she was drunk and was not even awa
Between Mrs Levaughn breathing down my neck about my unfinished reports and my brother Darius, blowing up my phone about the money I promised him, I was losing my mind.I sat hunched over my desk in the deserted work area, typing furiously on my laptop, trying to get some work done.I could still hear Mrs. LeVaughn's relentless nagging, “This is terrible, Kiara. If your report gets any worse than this, you could lose your job. Do you realize that? Get all this done or you can forget about your pay this month,”I had bitten back a retort, my pride stinging.I had never been a hard worker and it showed. In fact, I hated any sort of work but unfortunately I needed a job to survive.So I stayed back, hours after everyone had left to finish my work. My phone buzzed again beside me. Darius, I knew without checking.He would send me to an early grave with these calls because I did not have any money to give him. He was my older brother but somehow, I was the one taking care of his expenses
The past week had been a dream but as I stepped into the premises of Sterling Enterprises on Monday, my stomach twisted.For some reason, police cars were lined on the curb and uniformed officers stood near the entrance while a small cluster of colleagues watched them, whispering.My first thought was Petyr. Had something happened to him?What had gone wrong that warranted this number of policemen being in the premises?As I hurried through the revolving doors, my eyes scanned the place for answers.The tension in the place was palpable and the usual morning chatter was replaced with murmurs and nervous glances.I found Kiara chatting with a group of girls, arms crossed, hair pulled up in a bun.She walked over to me excitedly when she saw me. “Kiara, what the hell is happening?” I asked, grabbing her arm tightly. She looked from me to her arm then back to me. I released it and looked away. “Why are the police here?”“No one knows for sure. The security guy said it went up in flames
