After the brief program, a cocktail party commences. Luther, with all his responsibilities as CEO, has become busy with investors and associates. Together with his parents, they strolled around the venue to speak with guests. While Arah stays with Tim. However, Luther hasn't gone far before he walked back to Arah."You're coming with me" he whispers, rounding his arms around her waist."Tim, talk with other guests" before Arah could respond, he turns to his brother."Of course" Tim just nodded before turning away, leaving them alone. He is still perplexed by Arah's thoughts and he has no courage to ask more. There are times he fears how her brain works and today is one of them. Without another word, Luther pulled her with him. Making sure she stays by his side the entire time he talks with guests.Some were awed by her presence beside the CEO, while some remained gauging, and some were bold enough to ask."Does this mean, CEO Steel is off the market?" a middle-aged man playfully as
Luther remains nailed on the floor, gaping at Arah whose stance stays elegant as she always does despite the tears streaming down her face."Will love prevail if I become like my whore of a mother? Will love be enough to make me stay? Will love preempt me from being unfaithful like her?" smiling bitterly, she softly asks."What are you talking about, Arah?" he was baffled. Arah never talks about her mother. Whatever they knew about their family came from her father, Dr. Rene Rechner. The old man has been bitter about his unfaithful wife but they only knew fragments of it. They understood she was too young to remember what happened. And though their incomplete family affects her perspective on a lot of things, she wasn't vocal about the details. "You were a jerk, screwing different women. Playing a game that women were willing victims" she casually said while wiping the dampness on her face. Though she struggles to blink away the persistence of her tears, she succeeded in controllin
It was a slow and blissful kiss until it deepened. Soulful. It's a seal to their new beginning. "I love you, Arah" for the first time, he told her in between breathing."I love you too, Ther. Please be patient with me" she tearfully smiles while saying the words she thought she will never have the chance to say to him."I will" though brief, it's an ardent commitment before they again, delved into the carnal desire they were both familiar with. Mid-afternoon, in the middle of Arah's living room, scattered their discarded clothes. While moans and grunts fill the silence of the four corners of the walls.Her perfect nakedness sprawled on the carpeted floor, writhing in pleasure while his head was between her long slender legs. "Ahhhn..." her body lewdly arched in pure pleasure his tongue is bestowing her."Ther..." breathless, she runs her fingers through his thick hair, tugging as he continues to scorch her heaven. Her body moves to the rhythm of his mouth, chasing the known unknown
"Arah... "She heard her name being called and turning towards it, she saw Jazz approaching her. She is on the way to a restaurant to meet Luther for dinner."Hello, Jazz. Nice meeting you again" smiling, she casually greeted."How are you?" he is smiling but his eyes look dull."I'm fine. How about you?""Well, the usual. Busy but I'm quite coping" he mumbles while glancing at the men not far from them."You and CEO Steel are now official?" he asks though it sounded more of an affirmation."Yes," she genuinely smiles. It's almost been a week after she and Luther have cleared all tides between them."As I guess. With this number of security out in the open, anyone could guess the importance of the person they are guarding. Though you were never left unguarded since then" with a shrug he mutters while looking around. Uniformed fierce-looking men are everywhere near Arah. "I'm still negotiating about this frivolousness. It's unnecessary, actually. Luther is just being inconsequential.
"Good day, Dr. Rechner" staff greeted her the moment she step outside the elevator. "Good day" casually, she responded without stopping. She continues to walk toward the massive door of the CEO's office. Her inherent elegance enthralled every eye following her, as usual. "She is so perfect" "Does she ever sweat?" "She looks like a doll" "I can't imagine her being messy" "Even her breathing is graceful" "I doubt there's even a speck of imperfection in her" "Befitting for a Steel heir" Hushed murmurs erupted the instant she disappeared inside. Luther's staff are captivated by her mere presence. Inside, Arah immediately spotted him on his table, reading a document. He was alone and his office is eerily quiet like hers. They both prefer to work in complete silence. "Am I disturbing something?" she announces her presence with a wide smile. Which is responded to by an ecstatic and fond one. "Hello, pumpkin. What made the ever so-busy Dr. Rechner be out of her clinic this early?"
Arah watches Luther talk to George and despite not hearing them, she could guess its seriousness. Earlier has been a grueling ride and she was only relieved when he went out of the vehicle. She's afraid she cannot keep up with her facade in front of him.She is jealous. Immensely jealous. But unlike before, she doesn't know how to deal with it. During their friendship, jealousy has been her constant companion whenever she would see him with anyone. However, it was not as intense as what she feels right now. Before, she knows her boundary. She was fully aware she has no right to be jealous back then.Today is a lot different. She revealed a part of her to him. She let him see her vulnerability without reticence. She was succeeding in opening herself, which she found the most difficult part of their relationship. Since a child, she has been keeping everything to herself. Back then she has no one to share her thoughts and emotions with. Until she becomes used to being alone. She alway
They arrived at an exclusive bar in the city and despite not having a membership, Arah was immediately ushered inside.She looks around the dimly lit place and though it's still early there are few people inside. It was her first time to be in such a place and she was surprised that it was decent and remarkably quiet. A bar in her mind is far different from where she is right now. "There will be a happy hour later, but mostly, it's just like this. This is a highly exclusive bar and only prominent people are given access. There are no noisy youngsters here" George softly spoke upon seeing her confusion. "I'm thinking of being in a noisy place with a lot of hot men. Not this solemnity here" she softly retorted. "There will be a lot of men later. Most businessmen and prominent personalities in the city will be here" George explains. "I want to be laid tonight, so I will have an ample selection" she casually announced while looking around.There are round couches with a table at the c
"The hell you will" he dangerously mutters. The chilling coldness in Luther's voice reaches everyone's ears. And tension intensified but she remains unbothered. "I will" moving away from Jazz, she faces him with equal hostility."You are not the person to tell me what to do" she added. The dizziness she felt earlier vanished and she was inclined to indulge him. "Whatever I will do tonight is none of your business. I could have any man I want and you cannot stop me" she snickers whilst Luther's calm silence. "Let's see about that" he casually mutters."Yes, wait and see. Let's go, Jazz" without averting her gaze away from him, she called for Jazz. "Arah, please. Go home with CEO Steel. You're drunk and you need to rest" Jazz refused, making her seethe with anger. If gaze could kill, Jazz would have been lifeless on the floor. "Well then, you're not the only man in this city" with a clenched jaw, she snickers. She moves away from the two men and faces the curious guests on their c
