“Hey, it’s alright we’re in flight “ I heard calmly as I opened my eyes to see my hand gripped by his.
“I don’t feel so good” I told him with worry as the puke lodged at my throat.
“Yeah. I noticed “ he said as he undid the buckle and helped me stand .
We walked out of the curtain that served as a demarcation.
“I want you three in front “ Leo ordered the guards stationed at the back of the plane.
“Sir, is there a problem?” The one with the cap asked calmly
“Nothing , I can’t handle” he said as I felt his hand grip mine once again.
“Alright, we’ll be expecting your next update.“ he stated as he motioned for the other two to follow him .
“Thank you” Leo said as they nodded in response and walked out .
He directed me towards a door at the side .
“Watch your head “ he told me as he bent his to walk in.
“I’m short Leo” I sated after walking in easily.
He laughed and told me to sit down on the bed.
It seemed like a sleeping area . The bed was smaller and there seemed to be a small toilet door at the side.
“You feel better?” He asked as he gave me the glass of water.
“Yeah. I’m sorry I panicked “ I replied
“I was expecting you to” he said as he sat beside me and watched me drink the water.
“Is that why you grip the necklace tightly?”
“Yes, it makes me feel safe, reduces my panic I suppose “ I answered with a shrug
“A familiar feeling makes you feel safe “ he said as I felt his stare
My hand unconsciously gripped his thighs as I felt a turbulence.
He found it amusing .
“It’s not funny “ I said with a frown as I dropped the glass on the bedside table.
“Want me to take your mind off it?”
“How ?”
He pushed my hair to the back of my shoulders with his left hand cradling my face my heart skipped.
I got red and my breath sounded shuddered as we maintained eye contact.
I was still attracted to him
He chuckled at my reaction and pecked my lips.
My eyes widened as my body tried to pull away.
“What’s wrong?” He asked
“I don’t know” I answered quietly under my breath.
“It’s been long since I’ve held you this closely “ he said before lifting me and placing me on his thighs.
"I don’t think this is appropriate “ I told him timidly.
He didn’t seem to care as he began kissing my neck and nibbling on it
My whole body quickened at his lips on my neck.
It felt good.
His fingers caressed my nipple as he continued with my neck .
It felt so good.
I let out a moan as his hand slipped under my bra and fondled my breast .
My hands moved to his face as if on their own accord, with my thumb I stroked his lips .
He smiled at my reaction before I placed my lips on his.
It’s been long I felt such.
Such electrifying feeling.
We kissed passionately like starved people.
He laid me on the bed and hovered over me as our kiss went from gentle to rough all at the same time.
I pulled back to catch my breath .
He looked so soft and relaxed as I stared at his handsome face.
I moaned quietly as his lips played with my nipples.
His hand moved slowly to my panties as he rose my dress up.
I felt his finger at my entrance after he rubbed on my clit.
I was soaked.
“Leo” I moaned breathlessly.
He looked up at me as I moaned his name.
With a smile he slid his finger into me.
In and out it went, while my moans got louder.
I couldn’t focus as his fingers moved faster with the pace.
I kissed him in a rush to gain any atom of control.
The kiss made his fingers slow but he doubled it and it felt good.
I held tightly onto his broad shoulders, trying to stifle my moans as he used his fingers and continued his kisses on my neck.
The knock on the door made me self conscious, but Leo didn’t seem to care.
Instead he used his thumb to massage my clit and maintained his finger movements in me while answering.
His focus on me didn’t falter still, as I reached my climax.
“The plane is about to land, I was told to inform you “ the air hostess responded.
“Thank you “ Leo said as her footsteps faded away while my legs shook as I reached orgasm.
“Tell me what you want, Sophia” he said, looking at me intently.“ I think we should stop” I answered breathlessly.
“Why?” He asked
“Aren’t you enjoying it?”
“ Aren’t you?” He asked persistently
“ I am. I am but-“ I replied as my face got red,
“But what?” He interrupted with a frown on his face.
“You’re my boss “ I said timidly. Our relationship was confusing to me.
“Sophia, I just gave you a leg shaking orgasm “ he stated obviously.
“You don’t have to be so blunt “
“Let’s just go back to our seats please “ I added as he let out a sigh and left me on the bed to clean his hands.
“Do you need help or it’s also not appropriate?” He questioned as he buttoned his shirt.
“I’ll handle it. Thank you Leo “ I replied
“It’s Mr. Shiva to you” he stated before walking out.
I sighed and rushed into the restroom to clean up before we reached our destination.
He was my boss despite his annoyance towards me.
I had to start acting like it.
I was losing control and for the first time I didn’t mind .
We checked into the hotel. My room was next door luckily. At least I had my own space and I loved it. It was beautiful and spacious with a touch of modernity and minimalism.
Two flower vases were kept at the window sill and the view from the balcony was pleasing. I was so sure that it would look magical at night.
I rushed to freshen up and prepare for the business lunch.
In about an hour plus I was in front of Leo’s door waiting for his approval to come in .
He was wearing a bathrobe and looked freshly out of the shower.
I didn’t need to see this .
Especially at the moment.
Control yourself Sophia.
“I’ll wait for you at the lobby “ I stated calmly
“Why?” He asked.
“Well-"
“Do I make you uncomfortable?” He interrupted after he let out a chuckle.
He had that smug look on his face, which was surprising since he was annoyed about two hours ago.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
In as much as I loved exploring our attraction.
This wasn’t the time or the place.
“I’m your Personal Assistant “ I said to him as he combed his thick black hair.
“I’m aware. I employed you”
“It’s time I start acting like it”
“Who said you weren’t?” He asked with a frown on his face
“I know I’m not, especially with what occurred on the-"
“That was my fault not yours “he cut me off as he walked towards me.
“I just want to not be a burden and yet I don’t understand why I lose control in your presence “I told him timidly
He grabbed my left hand and placed it on his crotch area.
He was turned on and hard as a rock.
“You’re not the only one that loses control sugar “ my heart skipped at the hearing of his statement as my eyes widened in shock.
I pulled back sharply and left the room in a hurry, turned on and red in the face.
The next morning, I woke up feeling like I was walking on clouds. Leo was still asleep beside me, a peaceful expression on his face.I gently got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to wash up, after which I moved to the kitchen to make some coffee. As I waited for the brew to finish, I stared out the window, feeling grateful and at peace.Leo came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist."Good morning," he whispered, his voice sending shivers down my spine.I turned around, smiling."Good morning," I replied, leaning in for a kiss.“Would have loved to shower with you.” He told me as he breathed my scent in. I laughed and pecked his lips.“Another time.” I said as he nodded.As we sipped our coffee together and munched on the breakfast made by the chef, I knew that this was just the beginning of our happily ever after.I could hardly believe it myself, but the moment felt too big to keep to myself. The ring was still sparkling on my finger, and I couldn’t wait to tell P
As we pulled away from the kiss, I gazed up at Leo, feeling like I was floating in the air. He smiled back at me, his eyes shining with happiness."We should celebrate," he said, his voice filled with excitement, after the waiters applauded and wished us well.I nodded, still feeling dazed. "Yes, we should". Over a bottle of wine and a delicious meal, we talked about our future, our dreams, and our plans.As the night wore on, I felt like I was getting to know Leo all over again. He was still the same kind, caring, and thoughtful person I had fallen in love with, but now he was also my fiancé.After dinner, we walked along the river, enjoying the cool night air and the sound of the water. Leo put his arm around me, pulling me close, and I felt like I was home.As we stood there, looking out at the city lights, Leo turned to me with a serious expression."Sophia, I promise you, I will always be here for you," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "I will always support you, always
And in the midst of it all, Leo and I were planning our next step. Together. By the next week, most of my items had been moved to his place.The soft hum of the car's engine was the only sound filling the space as Leo drove. His hand rested gently on mine, his thumb tracing the soft skin of my hand absentmindedly.Leo glanced over at me as he drove into his driveway, his eyes soft but full of concern. "Are you okay?" he asked quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.I smiled, though it felt fragile, a little shaky. "I’m fine. I promise."His eyes didn’t leave me, as if searching for a hint of doubt in my words. "You know you can talk to me about anything, right?”I nodded and smiled at his kindness. "I know. It's just... sometimes the past feels heavy. I don’t know if I’m ready to let it all go yet." I turned my face toward the window, watching the world pass by. "But... you make it easier. You make me feel lighter."Leo reached over and brushed his thumb across my cheek. "You don’t
The day had been quiet, the kind of peaceful where your thoughts have a chance to settle and take root.Leo and I had spent most of the afternoon together, quietly enjoying each other’s company. A conversation had been brewing in my mind for some time now. It wasn’t something I’d planned to bring up, but it felt like the right moment.I closed my novel and turned to Leo, catching him looking at me with that familiar, soft smile—the one that always made my heart skip a beat. But today, there was something else in his eyes, an unspoken question."So," I began, my voice a little tentative. "I’ve been thinking a lot about… well, everything." I took a deep breath, steadying myself. "About us, and the future."He shifted slightly after dropping his phone, turning to face me fully. "I’ve been thinking about that, too. What’s on your mind?"I hesitated before speaking again. "I think it’s time we talked about moving in together."Leo raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at his lips, but there w
“Grace told me she named you Sophia, like royalty. I wanted you to bear the family’s name, but Grace refused. She chose to take you as hers. To make sure you never question your identity. I didn’t think it was possible, Gregory didn’t like the idea of being a father before the wedding. Somehow, we all chose to love you.” He continued as he touched my hair.“I would have loved to meet her.” I told him as I smiled warmly at him.“You have her hair and freckles. Grace had a curly head just like me and Thalia and her mom, had straight brown hair.” He blurted out as I tucked my hair behind my ears, feeling self-conscious.“Why don’t I remember you then?” I asked in confusion.“Because I stopped coming when you were still little.” He replied.“Why?” I asked.“Grace, relocated and kept you hidden. We had a fallout. I hated Gregory’s gambling addiction. I hated how useless he was when Grace was pregnant with Stan…I was scared that I'd lose you or Grace, and it would be too late for me to do a
“I don’t understand.” I said as I hurriedly tried to match his pace. His long legs made his strides difficult to follow.“That’s why I’m here.” He said to me as he abruptly stopped. I halted just in time before I could crash into his back.I sighed and frowned at the underlying hero complex I perceived from him.“Why are we here?” I asked him softly.He pointed to the tomb stones at our front.“Thalia Maxwell and… Desmond Maxwell.” I read out loud, before I turned to him in confusion.“These are your parents.” He stated as I stared in disbelief at the graves before me.“How?” I asked with a whisper as I gripped my necklace tightly.“Grace was your aunt… not your mother. Albeit, she did everything a mother should. She was good at that-proving a point.” He told me.“What point?” I asked.“You see, your mother, Thalia was a free spirit…never sat at one place for long. She loved adventures, and it wasn’t a surprise, when she told me, she had met a man and fallen in love with him.” He said
