(Claire's pov)I pulled into the parking lot, I stared at Jonathan's car that was parked in the parking lot. Mia's words keep playing in my mind.I picked up my handbag and headed to the elevator, pressing the buttons, the door slid open and I stepped in.My eyes fixated on the buttons going up till it eventually ended on my apartment floor. I stepped out as the elevator door opened.Stepping into the apartment, my eyes stare at Jonathan's laptop and documents spread on the dining table. I scanned around he was nowhere to be found.I went upstairs to my room, undressed, and stepped into the bathroom. As the hot water cascaded down my body, I felt a warmness and calmness fill me.I couldn't believe Mia would suggest satisfying my urge by sleeping with Jonathan. I am trying so hard to get over the previous sex.I sighed, but he did make me want more. The way he made me feel alive and desired. It was intoxicating.But I couldn't let myself be vulnerable again, not so soon after my last h
(Jonathan's Pov)I don't know what had gotten into her but, I was in the mood, she was turning me on.I lean closer, caressing her face, I pull her closer by the waist, caressing her lips, I kiss her, gently, then with increasing pressure.She moaned, her breathing heavy as she grabbed hold of my shirt for support. I lifted her, taking her into my room.Placing her on the bed, I kissed her neck, biting as I left my mark there. My mouth found her nipples, licking it softly.Moving my mouth slowly down her stomach, she grabbed hold of my hair, her moan soft and satisfying.I pulled off her pajamas leaving her completely naked, kissing her just above her pubic bone. I slipped two fingers inside her, stroking her skillfully.I lean down with my tongue kissing her between her legs, caressing, prodding, poking, In a rhythm like a giant pulse.Claire's legs twined above my head and shoulders, desperately she buck her hips, She cum.I quickly pull off my clothes and shorts. Now naked I lay on
(Claire's Pov)I wanted to blame Mia for all that had happened these few days but I knew the truth more than anyone. She wasn't the one to blame.I was the only one to blame for not keeping my stupid desires in check. Now The secret I was trying so hard to protect came crashing down my face."Jonathan please let me explain," I said but he ignored me, he has been ignoring me lately.My mom had called several times to inform me of Jonathan's insistence on seeing the girls.The last time he went over to her place, he refused to leave without speaking to the girls. She even threatened to call the cops on him yet he didn't move.Jonathan unlocks the door. His eyes filled with rage and anger, rage I hadn't seen before. "Let us talk please" I begged"What do you possibly have to say, Claire, you left even when you found out you were pregnant, you kept my kids away from me for a good six years." His tone raised with pain as he punched the wall.I flinched, staring at the bruises on his knuckl
(Jonathan's POV)I couldn't shake off the anger that pulsed through me as I watched Matthew's hand firmly placed on Claire's waist, pulling her in for a kiss. It took every ounce of self-control to keep myself composed."Calm down, dude," Simon leaned close and whispered in my ear, sensing my distress."Why don't we go say hello? It'll be weird if we don't," I suggested, turning to both Simon and Tracy.Tracy had joined us for the entertainment gathering, and I thought it would be nice to bring her along. Claire would be pleased to see her. Tracy had been a loyal worker for Claire before joining STAR ENT.I approached them, my eyes locked on Claire. It had been a week since I moved out of Claire's apartment. As much as staying at the hotel was comfortable, I suddenly missed seeing her messy hair every morning, and her annoyed expression when I left the sink dirty.I longed for the scent of her that seemed to fill the whole house. The hotel felt lonely without her. If it weren't for th
(Claire's pov)Jonathan laughed, I suddenly felt stupid, why was he laughing, I wasn't lying about his girlfriend."It's not funny," I said annoyed"Oh, But it is, You thought I was dating Tracy," he asked, his eyes sparkling with each word. "You think, I will bring myself to sleep with Tracy"I said nothing avoiding his stares, why was he sounding like I was accusing him? "I don't know Jonathan, is it not you?"The room was quiet as we both sat there, I stood up, feeling uncomfortable as I walked towards my desk.Jonathan grabbed me by the hand and pulled me down to his lap. His hand was placed on my waist."W-what are you doing" I stammered"What? We are just having a nice conversation, are you thinking about something else Claire" he spoke.Jonathan's voice sends a wave of electricity through my body as I lock eyes with him. What was I doing, I couldn't drag myself into this situation with Jonathan again."I miss you a lot Claire, I sincerely miss you a lot," Jonathan spoke, placin
(Jonathan's POV)Matthew's eyes flicker, he stares at the files in front of him, and his eyes widen."W-Where did you get this, you invaded my privacy, does Claire know about this" he questioned."You want her to find out about the truth, Are you that sure, do you think she can handle it." I leaned back, watching his expression go from scared to confused."Why are you doing this, what do you want" He asked.I laughed, trying to hide my satisfaction. "Your wife ruined me, she destroyed everything I worked hard for, and now you want to ruin Claire."He said nothing not expecting my answer, his fist clutched tight as he tried to endure the humiliation."We want to keep this as quiet as it is, no problem, but here are my conditions, stay away from Claire and put this bar under her name, how dare you use her apartment as collateral, you greedy and wicked bastard," I said in anger."Am not scared of you, how dare you make unreasonable terms and conditions, you should be careful about how yo
(Claire's pov)I took a full gulp at the glass of whiskey in my hand. My head spinning but there was no stopping now."How dare she, she had the guts to walk into my office and sprout rubbish," I said, clenching my glass so hard."Calm down, at this point, you are going to shatter the glass," Mia said, rubbing my back gently."She had the nerve to tell me to stay away from Jonathan like she owns him, is she foolish or what" I laughed, biting my lower lips harder."You said you met her and Jonathan in his hotel room alone, who knows maybe something might be going on" Mia added, her eyes sincere.There was no way Jonathan was sleeping with her, what am I saying, how could I blindly say that, he might be who knows?"I don't care, what Jonathan and I had was just flings and nothing more" I managed to say trying to hide how disappointed I was at Jonathan.Tracy was not to be trusted, I still remember the last words she said to me that day.(Three weeks after the divorce:)"Who did you say
(Jonathan's POV)"Who has been arrested" I questioned again, trying to understand Calvin's words at the other end of the line."The Trainee has been arrested" He repeated, this was more than I expected, I thought her arrest might take time since she went into hiding."How did you guys catch her" I asked curious."Well, Miss Jessy was caught with hard drugs and a knife stained with blood on her way to the train station" Calvin explained."It wasn't too long before the cops suspected something, she also had a gun and shot two people who are currently in the hospital" he continued.I was shocked by the news. Jessy had gone completely off the rails. I couldn't believe she had resorted to such dangerous and criminal behavior. I knew she was desperate, but this was beyond anything I could have imagined.I was grateful she was out of STAR ENT. Before such an incident, this could have badly ruined My company's image.I have to call Tracy and ask her to deny all association with Jessy if the r
