44. MONIQUE'S POV

I slip into the boardroom and take the empty seat on the left side of the desk, so that I can be as far away from Desmond as possible. He is sitted at the head of the table addressing the meeting. I smile and tuck my hair behind my ears and try to pay attention to what he's saying. This week will be choked up with lots of work rolling in thanks to the promotion ad that ran the non-stop the last two weeks.

And the last two weeks was the worst time of working under Desmond because he made my life a living hell with daily sex gifts and flirting and invitations to his home to see his friends which I continually refused. We didn't kiss or get intimate with each other the last two weeks and of course I couldn't surpress my urges anymore, I had to remember my bad girl ways in the club it was the only way to kill the wierd attraction towards my boss and best friends ex.

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    256 - Claire's visit.

    I woke up with a headache, the kind that wasn’t caused by too much alcohol, but by too many thoughts, too many damn thoughts.The image of Xander kissing me, his hands on me, the heat between us, it all felt surreal, I couldn't even bring myself to stop thinking about it no matter how much I wanted to. Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was him. His face, his smile, and his beautiful blue eyes which were filled which so much desire.I ran a hand through my hair, groaning as I rubbed my temples. It felt like my mind was spinning, and the more I tried to think about what happened, the worse it got. I had a responsibility and that was all my focus should be on, rather than throwing it all away because of one kiss with a man I barely knew.But it wasn’t just one kiss. I had kissed Xander like I needed him, not like it was some stupid mistake. And I couldn’t ignore the way my body responded, the way everything inside of me lit up when I was with him. I couldn’t pretend it didn’t mean a

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    255 - First Kiss

    The night after the engagement ceremony, I couldn’t stop thinking about Xander. What was that angry look I saw on his face and why did he leave immediately I proposed to Claire. Nothing added up, sighing I took a gulp of my alcohol, but no matter how many gulps I took, Xander still lingered at the back of my mind, causing my pulse to quicken.And so, now here I was again, sitting at the bar of the club, staring at the stage where Xander had danced the first night I came here. It seemed impossible that only a few hours had passed since I’d been standing beside Claire, acting like the perfect fiancé, while my mind was still stuck on the man who I still couldn't get out of my head.Abruptly I stood up, my chair scraping loudly against the floor. I couldn’t do this anymore, I had to see Xander again, I didn't know why, but I just had to see him. Maybe then, I'd be able to finally get him off my head.I walked over to the manager, "Get me Xander, I want him in the VIP."The manager raised

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    254 - Engagement Ceremony

    Today was my engagement day. I should feel happy, but I didn't. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My tousled black hair was gelled lightly to perfection, my shirt clung tightly to my skin, and my tie felt like a rope around my neck. My mom wanted everything perfect, she said this day would bring pride to the family. I didn’t feel proud, I felt trapped.The stylist stood behind me, fixing my collar. "You look great, sir," she said with a small smile.I nodded, even though I didn't really care. I kept thinking of the club and Xander. I knew we would never meet again, but still my body craved for him and I guessed that scared me more than I could possibly imagine.Grudgingly, I stepped out of the room. The house smelt of flowers and the garden was already set. There were gold ribbons everywhere, and fairy lights hung from the trees. Waiters walked past, carrying trays of champagne and sweets.My mom spotted me from across the room. "Elias! Finally!" she said, walking towards me, a

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    253 - The Dance.

    I couldn't believe what had just happened.Priss had somehow gotten under my skin. His eyes, the way he moved... I tried to shake the feeling off, but it wouldn’t go away. It didn’t make sense. I wasn’t supposed to feel this way about a man. It was... wrong, right?I ran my hand through my perfectly tousled black hair, trying to clear my head. I couldn’t sit there, staring at the stage, I couldn’t be thinking about him. I called the manager over, I needed to distract myself."Get me a girl," I told him, trying to sound like my usual self, but my voice came out weak. "A pretty ass and bring her to the VIP."He nodded and walked off, leaving me sitting there, frustrated with my own thoughts.A few minutes later, a girl walked into the VIP section. She was a short girl with electric-blue hair, full kissable lips and perfect fit, yet nothing about her turned me on. Even when she smiled flirtatiously at me I felt rather disgusted. Damnit, what the hell was wrong with me?Pulling her closer

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    The End.

    Naomi The next day, Micah and I went to his parents’ house. I had hoped, maybe prayed, that things would change. Maybe his mother would finally accept me, even though I was divorced. But deep down, I knew it wouldn’t be easy.We walked into their home, and as usual, his mother was already there, sitting in the living room, her eyes had a dark glint in them, and were filled with judgement. His father was sitting next to her, a much softer man, but I could tell the tension in the room. His mother had her arms crossed tightly over her chest.I knew what was coming. Micah sat down beside me, and I tried to breathe through the nerves. "We need to talk," he said, his voice calm but serious.His mother raised an eyebrow, but she didn’t say anything. Micah looked at her directly. "Mom, I love Naomi. We’ve been through so much together, and I’m asking for your support."His mother’s eyes flicked to me for a moment before she turned back to Micah. "I don’t approve, Naomi is divorced, Micah. Sh
