LOGINNik. I felt like holding her hands and dragging her back home in our bedroom and curling up in bed, and listening to her talk my head off, while stealing kisses in between instead my hands behind her to guide her towards the table where we were led to. The moment we got there the older Spanish male and his wife beamed and I plastered my fake smile. “Mr Stavros” he greeted me and I took his hand in a warm shake. Our wives exchanged kisses and I looked proudly when the older woman gushed over my wife’s beauty. Elaine smiled shyly and I looked on in admiration. “Your wife is so beautiful,” Simone gushed and I nodded with pride. On its own accord my hands went to help move a loose tendril from her face to tuck behind her ears, and our eyes caught together in a I watched her behind as she walked away and I let out a groan of exasperation. “Fuck.” It’s almost like every single time I open my mouth to talk to her, I just make it worse than it already is. Just gasoline to the fire,
“What happened to your face?” I watched him from my position at the vanity and dropped the under eye cream I was applying unceremoniously so that it was the only sound in the room. I could sense that he was going to shut down before he even did. “Nothing.” He shrugged. My eyes followed him as he pulled off his shirt which looked rough, another indication that he was in a fight or squabble. “Who hit you?” I asked instead. Obviously the black eye and bursted lip was an indication that someone did. “Someone disgruntled I know from the past.” He avoided my gaze as he spoke, and chose instead to begin to undress before going straight into the bathroom. I know that I should leave it but somehow the unnecessary secrecy only served to make me even more worried. I swallowed my next words and completed my night routine. It was usually simple; wear my hair in a silk scarf, because it was better for hair health, cleanse my face after brushing my teeth, and then apply my under eye cream, my
Chapter: ELAINE Whatever excitement I had died immediately I saw him. He was standing at the new mini bar where we served mocktails. His suit was off, and his eyes were covered with his Rayban glasses so I couldn’t tell exactly what he was thinking. I sighed and moved towards where he stood. “I’ve been trying to call you,” he declared softly, looking around. I shrugged, “I’ve been busy.” My tone was dismissive so it was no surprise that he didn’t like it. “Are you not going to show your investor around?” He asked with a chuckle to cover up the awkwardness. I rolled my eyes, “are you here as an investor or my husband.” “So you still remember that I’m your husband.” He murmured back and walked away. I followed him until he slid beneath a booth and I took a long whiff of air before sitting opposite him. We stared at each for almost a full minute, nobody saying anything, and he huffed and relaxed in his chair before finally speaking, “why does it take so long to order in your
ELAINE “What does this even mean?” I sat up angrily and tried to tug off the pillow. “You do not get to come home in bruises and decide when to end a conversation with me. I am your wife!” I yelled and he turned around so that we were looking at each other. “I had an altercation with someone old from the past. I shouldn’t have let my emotions get the best of me, but it did. That’s what happened.” He made to turn again from me and I dragged him back. I wasn’t done with this conversation. His nostrils flared in anger and he hauled me over so that I was lying on him half way. “So who is Don’t pick?” We stared at each other for a second and I could tell when the anger in his eyes turned to desire. “Don’t you dare kiss me. Do not dare, try to have sex with me right now!” I tried to get off but he held me by the hand. “Well, instead of fighting about your insecurities we might as well fuck.” My mouth fell open in shock. He was so cruel, unnecessarily so.

I dropped my apple pen and folded my hand to meet his gaze head on, not bothering with an answer. “Answer me!” He roared the vein of his face bulging and ticking like a bomb about to go off. I still kept mute, because Dominic Tourette didn’t dare come into my office and order me on what I can and cannot do. “Sit down!” My voice was low, but he could tell that I was starting to get irritated. Whatever cool and calm any wife had loved into my bones this morning was slowly sipping away. “You don’t fucking tell me what to do!” Dominic gritted through his teeth and I smiled. I know I shouldn’t have but all of a sudden I could remember us eight years ago, when he was the one smiling after he and his lying, cheating wife ripped my heart out and so I needed to make this sting even more. “She came to me, she came begging by the way.” I shrugged casually knowing that it was going to hit his ego so hard but I didn’t care. “I can take care of my home and my wife.” I got up now, tired of
CHAPTER 40. We sat at the dinner table with Alex and his wife and some of their dearest and nearest as they described. It was an intimate dinner to celebrate Alex’s birthday and even though Nik had previously travelled out, he had to come back to attend it. Everyone around me on this table was d
What do you want?” I waited with bated breath for his response and Nik noticed I was tense because he suddenly reached out to my other hand to squeeze it. “Hi sissy” his nonchalance high pitched voice came out, annoying me even more. “Don't patronise me,” I snapped and immediately Nik collected t
Nik“Why not?” She asked and I could hear the bitterness and anger seeping through. “I have to work, and I have some projects I'm presently overseeing” I answered gently, trying not to escalate the matter, and spoon some of the delicious dessert into my mouth. The night had been going so well, a
Chapter 25. . ELAINE. “Good morning” The deep bass of the face hovering over me with a lopsided smile was the reminder of what happened last night. That alongside the ache in between my thighs. I felt sore. Not in a bad way though, just the kind that happens after an activity you've not done be
