Selene finally decided to leave the bedroom after so long. She just didn’t know how to face him, but she knew it must happen one way or the other.
Thankfully, the man wasn’t so dense to have stayed in bed waiting for her. She was even glad that everything that could serve as evidence of their nocturnal activities had been discarded by the stranger.
“You’re finally out of the shower,” Declan spoke as if waiting for his wife to leave for an important function. He looked so carefree that Selene couldn’t help concluding that it was his habit to bring girls here regularly.
After all, nothing made more sense to her as to how relaxed the man looked right now. The whole house screamed of nothing but luxury, and even she was impressed by what she was seeing.
“Good thing he’s just your fling, Selene. Get the heck out of this place.” She chastised herself and moved to walk past Declan, as she headed for the door.
However, he had read her movements long ago and knew she wouldn’t be willing to have any small talk with him. Before she could finally step out of his sight, Declan grabbed onto her wrist firmly.
He did that with just the right amount of strength to avoid hurting her. Just now, he was momentarily lost in his thoughts when he noticed how breathtaking she looked in the attire she donned.
He had described her physique and tasked his able assistant to get her a fitting dress. He wouldn’t allow her to wear the same dress from the previous day after all.
Declan had his reasons for giving her new clothes, not that he would share that with her, though.
“You need to eat something first.” He declared in a coaxing tone, but the young lady wasn’t having any of it. Even the proximity they shared was too stifling for her to bear, or, was it not?
“I’m not hungry.
You can save the meal for your next target.” Selene spat ruefully, averting his gaze. She didn’t know what had come over her, but being too close to the man irked her for some reason.
She expected him to angrily release her so they could part ways on a bitter note, but she couldn’t be any more wrong.
Declan reluctantly let go of her hand, suddenly feeling a little lost now that he didn’t have her in his palm anymore.
“Get your head out of the gutters, Declan. You are too old for these kinds of games.” He chastised himself and released a frustrated sigh,
“Sorry about last night. I know I was a beast, and I apologize greatly.
Please allow me to atone for my bad manners by serving you breakfast in the least.
Just don’t leave here on an empty stomach.”
He pleaded as if he would lose something if she didn’t eat. One wouldn’t be mistaken in assuming that his whole life depended on her eating breakfast in his house.
“I’m not hungry.
I’ll eat when I want to.” She responded dismissively.
Though those were her words, it was as if the constituents of her stomach had rehearsed beforehand about how to embarrass her thoroughly.
Little did she move an inch when the sound of her grumbling stomach filled the quiet stairway. The two had been standing on the stairs leading to the living room and dining area all along.
“Shit!”
Selene cursed out, only for Declan to take the lead and say, “Don’t mind me being around. I could easily excuse you if you want me to.” His words made her feel that the man was being too nice to her, even a little suspicious, if anyone should look carefully.
Realizing that the young lady was being too stubborn for her own good, Declan climbed the two separating steps and closed the gap between them.
He then tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear, bent over to be only an inch away from her ear before whispering sensually, “It’s either you eat the food, or I eat you up. Either way, we must both eat breakfast. So, what’s it gonna be?”
As if she didn’t hear anything he just said, Selene, with an obviously bashful look and crimson cheeks could only move a few steps to widen the gap between them.
She didn’t appreciate the man’s behavior, as he should have allowed her to leave by now. People don’t force their flings to eat in their homes, right?
Selene pretended not to have heard his earlier utterances as she responded in jest, “And where would you go if I don’t want you at the table? It’s your house, so you take the first bite. Can’t go about trusting a total stranger, can I?”
She tactfully responded to his previous request about leaving the table for her if she wanted him to.
However, he didn’t bother about how she blatantly ignored him. All he wanted to test was to be sure that he still had an effect on her outside the bedroom.
She hadn’t taken anything since her quick brunch the previous day. To be fair, she didn’t even have a decent meal the whole day, since it was totally hectic with a lot of classes, impromptu tests, and finally completing her professor’s assignments as his course representative.
To top it all off, Selene even had a lot to drink in the evening, a quantity she had never touched before.
Then, instead of taking a long rest to cure her hangover, she chose to stay up the whole night, doing nothing but adult business that shouldn’t have been her cup of tea on a day like yesterday.
“Declan”
As he pulled out a chair for her, he mentioned his name like it was the most natural thing to do right now. Selene was a little confused when she heard that, only for him to respond further, “My name is Declan.”
Selene promised not to ask for his name, so she didn't care even now.
She swiftly grabbed her spoon, totally ignoring him, and began to gobble down the soup like a beggar.
“Gosh! This is so delicious.” Selene closed her eyes and savored the taste of the meal before her. As more food assaulted her taste buds, she could only sneak furtive glances at the man sitting across from her, who did nothing more after tasting the different dishes on the table.
He only munched on some fresh apples and stared as if he was watching TV.
When she was finally done, Selene suppressed a loud burp, which she effortlessly silenced with a glass of water.
From her periphery, she could notice that a beautiful young lady was approaching them. When she got close enough, she had only one word to describe her,
“Beautiful!”
She was smartly dressed in a short black pencil skirt that accentuated all her curves. She also donned a limited edition GD ladies executive long sleeve, carefully leaving the first two buttons undone, just enough to show her cleavage.
What caught Selene’s eye was that the lady was very busty, causing her to unconsciously look down at the sorry excuse of a bre*st she had on her chest.
“Selene, why do you bother to put on bras anyway?
You look just fine the way you are.”
Her mother’s words rang in her head at the sight of the guest’s bust. She felt self-conscious and bitter that he could easily replace her even before she left.
Selene was about to stand and head for the exit when she heard the words,
“Get her bag from the bedside drawer.”
It was Declan’s voice, and before she could come to her senses, the pretty lady’s meek voice sounded out, “Yes sir.”
Soon enough, Selene was presented with a GD lady’s bag that contained various items that surely didn’t belong to her, or so she thought.
Meanwhile, before she could ask any question, he beat her to it, “Your phone, on which my number is saved on speed dial, your dress, panties… Ahem!”
Declan quickly shut his mouth when she shot him a death glare. She was so pissed that Selene didn’t think twice before declaring in finality,
“You were just a fling, mister.
Last night was a wild mistake I wouldn’t wish to repeat.
So, Daddy, please stay away from me and remain exactly what you are; a fling!”
...
To be continued...
What was the lady thinking to wear something so revealing?
Selene extended her hand and took the bag from the beautiful lady, it contained her belongings after all. When she moved toward the door, she realized she had erred. “Where’s my car?” The thought suddenly hit her, and she stood frozen at the spot, probing her memory for answers, albeit in futility. When she brought out her phone to book a taxi, she noticed there were no vehicles near the place. Peak Grooves was a private property on the outskirts of town after all. Even though other homes were being built at the moment, only one luxurious mansion stood at the peak of the hill. It was Declan’s house, a place that overlooked the bustling city of Bloomsbay. Selene only wished to get away from this seemingly dangerous man, as everything that transpired between them was still fresh in her mind. It was the same reason why she resorted to being harsh toward him since she woke up. “Boris would take you home and only leave when you are safely indoors. For your car keys, you’ll find them hi
“And where do you think you’re going, young lady?” Tara’s voice sounded behind her, as Selene passed through the dining hall toward the door. She had on a blue armless, flowery dress that reached up to her ankle, which she matched with a white pair of flats. The dress had beautifully printed flowers of different kinds on it. Even though it was a loose-fitting gown that she carelessly picked from her wardrobe, it highlighted her youth and made her appear as an innocent and demure young lady. The style was such a sharp contrast to the business-like attires she always donned for her classes. She really looked worn out and exhausted. The insults and memes online didn’t treat her well at all, and she seemed to be in a lot of pain. Selene didn’t have any energy left in her, but she still chose not to miss school for two days in a row. Tara, however, wasn’t having any of it. In her mind, Selene has lost the right to be regarded as a prim and proper lady. A certain displeasure stemmed from
“Helen Smart, you will hear from my lawyers soon enough!” The bold declaration got everyone startled, and many were wondering if there was going to be real trouble, or if they were just trying to scare the young lady. Meanwhile, they all averted their gazes from the speaker, as they feared they may likely be sued for merely staring too long, or too much. Selene looked over her shoulders and surprisingly spotted Chloe walking toward her in quick strides. She looked exhausted, and she could only wonder if her family treated her as badly as her situation was back home. No soothsayer was needed to show the fatigue on Chloe’s face. Chloe wore blue jeans that were slightly ripped at both knees and her white shirt was neatly folded and tied at her back. To match her look, she wore a black kick from DG. Selene squinted her brows subtly at the realization that her friend was dressed in everything DG, from head to toe. When she finally realized where her mind took her at the sight of the des
“Oh yeah, Selene,” Chloe suddenly burst out while smiling sheepishly. “Professor Brent wanted to see you. To think that’s actually why I stepped out of the lecture hall briefly, ha!” She then sipped some water to ward off the awkwardness, only to see a confused look marring her friend’s make-up-caked face. She could tell from a glance that Selene’s thick make-up was to hide her eye bags. However, she still feigned oblivion and remained silent about it. “And you’re only telling me now?” Chloe could only give a smile that looked more like she was crying, causing her friend to chuckle in amusement. Selene asked in a low voice, sloppily leaning into the chair. If anyone should ask her, she would say she didn’t wish to see the Professor, because she could already guess what his reason for summoning her could be. However, she felt that there was no need to pull Chloe into her numerous problems. After all, she had her own problems to worry about. “Well, I guess I should go and see him
“Who the he*k are you peo…?” Professor Brent blurted out in shock, seeing how bad his situation suddenly looked. He thought he could intimidate them with his authority, but when he saw the way they were dressed, a cold shiver suddenly ran down his spine. He was momentarily stomped and remained in the same kneeling position over Selene’s paralyzed body. If he had not planned all this alone, he would have believed that she planned it to humiliate him. [Pa!!!] A combination of blood, saliva, and a few teeth flew across the room as Declan landed a heavy blow on Professor Brent’s jaw. A cracking sound was eerily released in the quiet room before the force pushed him to the floor, where he immediately passed out due to the immense pain. The older man fell on his back, his erect rod sticking out before him awkwardly. It was such a funny sight to behold, and Declan’s men didn’t waste any time before capturing the embarrassing situation at once. Declan quickly crouched beside Selene, pu
***Violent sexual content ahead.Proceed with caution*** ~~~Grand Lumen Hotel~~~A young lady arrived at the seven-star hotel that many celebrities could only see in magazines and on the news. For some, the closest they could ever get to the establishment was to walk by and wait to cross the road at the zebra crossing, right in front of the hotel.A young lady could be seen walking animatedly toward the receptionist. It was no secret that her ridiculously tall heels were too uncomfortable on her. She had a lot of makeup on, with a peach dress that accentuated her body figure excellently. As a hub for famous personalities, one may be forced to believe that she was a rookie celebrity who was here to see a big shot. Many unspoken rules are established behind the hundreds of rooms in the Grand Lumen Hotel, but none ever gets leaked to the press. The staff are top-notch, tight-lipped even, as they were all made to sign confidentiality agreements on the first day of work.“Hello,” The ti
“Tara Anderson!!!” Christopher bellowed uncontrollably. He couldn’t believe that the sweet young lady who was all over Selene, showering her with so much love and attention could say this about her. They both adored each other, and he needed no soothsayer to tell him that. “What could have changed so much within a few hours?” Christopher pondered. When Selene’s mother abandoned her on Christopher Davies, she was only a week old. Her mother never bothered about how she was cared for, and it took her a decade to ask about her daughter for the first time. At Christopher’s lowest point, Tara was there for him, caring for Selene as though she was her own child. As a result, everything she said right now couldn’t confuse him any more than it already had. “Tara, I never told you this, but her mother reached out when Selene was ten. She wanted to get to know her daughter and bond with her. Do you know what little Selene told me when I asked for her opinion?” Christopher asked in a calm
“Selene…” Selene heard what Declan said about no women being able to take the place of his deceased girlfriend, though she couldn’t tell that Maya was no more. She only realized that the person meant the world to him. It was surprising how her world seemed to spin at the words of the older man who she should have forgotten by now. However, those words made her feel worthless and self-conscious. She was the one who told him that everything they had was nothing but a fling, but when she heard it coming from him, it was too painful to bear. She turned around and went back to Declan’s bedroom, the same place she found herself after losing her virginity to him. Oddly, this time around, the bed seemed more comfortable than her bed at home. “Selene,” Declan quickly caught up with her and called her name once more. He didn’t know what to say, as he could tell that his words had hit a nerve. “How are you feeling? Are you okay?” His mild voice sounded after he had calmed himself down. H
