Hard Talk
"Danner, I want to live alone in my own house for a few weeks."
I drop the bomb, and indeed he is petrified by my words. His eyes rise to mine, incredulous in disbelief and anger. “You want, what!”. His lips are a straight line, his face a tight mask. Unfazed, I look back at him. “I said I want some private space. We've been living together for a while and I'm starting to feel caged."
His fork falls back loudly on his expensive porcelain plate.
By no means am I going to let Danner overpower me this time. I stand firm in this, I want to get rid of this strenuous part in our relationship. The engagement and this living-together entangle me, restricts my freedom of movement.
“What does feel cage mean?”, he demands to know in a loud voice. “Listen Danner, I don't want a fight. But we live as a married couple, I have to keep you in mind all the time. Notifying you where I am going, what time and when. It's all too much. I want a little

I am Love, Mr. Billionaire That Bench
Two weeks back from China and I haven't heard from Dordrich yet. A week ago at Danner's reception, we last saw each other but didn't speak. Danner's argus eyes wouldn't allow me to go and greet Dordrich. Because if I had only tried that, the whole event would have ended in a drama and that’s exactly what I wanted to avoid. I spent the whole week in my own house. Straight home from work. Every morning a walk through the artificial forest behind my house, in the evening flirting with Danner on the phone for an hour. By arrangement, I will go to his penthouse tomorrow after work and from there to work the next morning. I am taking another short walk today before I leave for work. With a dry branch in hand, I follow the path to the Hill where there is a bench to rest for a while before starting the descent again. It is a walk of about half an hour. There is a tap there where I can wash my face and have a drink of water. This way I d
I am Love, Mr. Billionaire A Bonus
“One month bonus salary for the junior staff”. Kaylah looks at me incredulously. She blinks her eyes a few times, hangs over my desk up to my face. "Did you say a whole month's bonus, free money for all but the top employees?", she asks to be sure. I look at her with a straight face. “Said in round English words”, I snap at her. Her eyes search my face. “Did Santa visit you last night? You are never that generous.” This bitch! "One more word and you can whistle to yours," I hiss at her. She turns and walks straight to the finance department. After fifteen minutes she’s back with the printout for approval and puts it on my table. I look at her from under my glasses. “Do I have to do your job too? My signature is too precious for such worthless things.” She sighs dramatically. “Loraine, these are not regular expenses, this is an extra burden on the budget,” she explains as if talking to a toddler. I look up immediately. “No, this will be
I am Love, Mr. Billionaire Too Late
It is afternoon when a large bouquet is carried into my office. A warm feeling goes through me, I know exactly who it comes from. Kaylah points the man where to put it, signs for receipt and looks at me from under her eyes. I ignore her, take out a flower and smell blissful. Seeing that I don't intend to explain the sender of my present to her, she turns with a knowingly face and walks to her own workspace. Dordrich! This guy makes sure I don't forget him. Like I even can after what we shared a few hours ago. I still blush when I think about it. My phone rings on my desk. “Mr. Fellogan on line three, Loraine,” I hear Kaylah announce. Quickly I press the button and Dordrich's deep voice comes through the phone. “Princess, are you okay? Want to have dinner with me tonight?”. I’m shocked by his invitation, I had thought that our relationship would only be based on hot sex until the attraction wore off. This is definitely not a smar
I am Love, Mr. Billionaire A Night Out
When I get home, I call Danner right away. “Hi babe, I have an all-girls night out tonight. I'll call you as soon as I get back, but it may be late," I apologize. "Or shall we talk tomorrow afternoon when I'm with you?". “No, call me as soon as you get back. I want to make sure you get home safely. My phone stays under my pillow so I can hear it when it rings." “Do you know where you will be hanging out?”, he asks. "Please, go to a safe place so I don't have to worry about you." I chuckle. Danner is always so practical. “No, Kaylah decides. She knows the best places.” I make a mental note that I have to compensate Kaylah for this cover-up. While I get ready for a nap, we finish the conversation. My conscience gnaws a little at the lie I told my fiancé. But I quickly shake it off, Dordrich is definitely worth it all. I fall asleep right away and
I am Love, Mr. Billionaire The Agreement
“Princess, you are so beautiful. I can't imagine you allowed me to love you. Many in this city long for the privilege of owning you. But you gave yourself to me, out of all who want you,” Dordrich begins in an intimate tone. "Why? I know the attraction between us was strong from the start. But all these years, all those men by your side. I of all people, Princess?”. Amazed by the vulnerability in his voice, his openness, I pause for a moment. I've never seen this side in a man. All men I've encountered are confident, knowing what they're worth. Dordrich sounds a bit insecure as if he is a real human being with real feelings, capable of suffering. I have experienced this with neither Danner nor Aziel. And to be honest, I really appreciate this. With a relieved sigh I let go of my Haute attitude. Dordrich opened up to me, so I can return the same to him. I get up
I am Love, Mr. Billionaire What I Feel
If I claim to have tasted anything from the meal, I'm lying. The whole time I've been listening to Dordrich, actually to his voice. Whatever he might have said, I can't remember anything about it. His voice is sufficient for me, his hand that occasionally strokes mine when he wants to emphasize something. My senses are completely attuned to him, all I want is to be close to him. "Princess, is that okay?". I startle and look at him questioningly. I did not hear a word of his question. A hoarse laugh escapes him. “You haven't heard anything I've been telling you all this time, have you?! You're just staring at me all the time." I turn red, I can't offer anything to defend myself. At least if I wanted to. Dordrich takes my hand and brings it to his lips. "Shall we go? I still have something planned for us”, he says somewhat seriously. I light up, slide my chair back immediately. Before I can get up, I hear Dordrich laughing heartily. “Lora
I am Love, Mr. Billionaire Not just a Mistress
Dordrich I'm trapped in the spell of this gorgeous woman!! It's like she controls me, my body and mind. Only now do I know what the men in my circle meant when they were whispering about Loraine. Some had tried to date her, others had sent her expensive gifts to get her attention, others had pranked her like little boys by bumping into her to strike up a conversation or something. But none of the tricks helped to catch her. I've seen her on magazine covers before, sometimes alone in a sexy pose, but more often in the arms of a rich man. She is usually seen with Danner Winfield, the automotive expert. Our first personal encounter at the ballroom was like a high voltage electrical power clashing. From that moment she’s fixed her eyes on me, they have haunted me day and night. No matter what I do, my mind keeps drifting to her. In the five years I've been married to my high school sweetheart Elena, I've never taken a fancy at another woman
I am Love, Mr. Billionaire Be There
The next morning, we wake up hungry. I order an extensive breakfast online and take my woman to the bathroom. We are exhausted from our nighttime escapade, for myself I know that I am taking the whole day off today to get a good sleep. When we come out of the bathroom I hear the doorbell. The delivery boy. I swipe my credit card and take in our food. While I'm busy setting up everything on the kitchen table, Loraine walks in a bathrobe. “Dordrich, I have nothing to wear,” she chuckles. “My dress from yesterday is not appropriate for this morning”. I take her in my arms, pus
