She bent over to smell it without removing it from the chair, it smelt good. It smelt like men's perfume.
Ben walked out of the bathroom wiping his hands with the small towel provided by the hotel. There was someone else in the room.
He wondered if it was her, he wondered if it was Belle. Standing there and watching her touch his suit jacket, which he had spread over the chair's arm, he thought she was sexy.
Even with the sleeping lights, he thought she looked sexy in the dress she wore. When she bent over to smell his jacket, he could see her dress go up. He walked to the bedside and turned on the brighter light, she turned around immediately.
"Belle?" He asked in a low, deep masculine voice.
"Yes.Ben, right?" She saw a man in long sleeved shirt.
"Yes." He walked to her."Fuck, you are beautiful." He muttered even though she could hear him. He was amazed by her beauty, he admired how she made her hair into a fine ponytail and how he could see her clear shoulders, with no hair to cover them, just the thin strap of her dress.
"You are very pretty." He said again, to her hearing.
"I know." He chuckled at her reply and then let it turn into a smile.
"I guess you are used to such compliments." He said and she smiled.
"I'm sorry I'm late, my friends thought I didn't look good enough in the dress I intended to wear."
"Your friends know where you were coming to? and why?"
"Well... they think I'm going on a date." She lied knowing how weird it sounded that they knew.
"They did a good job, I don't know what you intended to wear before this, but I'm sure you would still look as beautiful."
She didn't say anything more, she just stood there fumbling with her fingers, trying to control her nervousness. He came closer to her. Standing directly in front of her, she noticed how much he was taller than her.
"Are we about to...." She wanted to ask with her head down, she didn't want to ask that while looking at him but he lifted her jaw to face him.
"What?" He asked her, caressing her cheek with his left hand.
"Are you going to make love to me now?" She managed to ask through her nervousness, he looked into her eyes.
"You have blue eyes." He noticed.
She looked down to avoid his dark eyes, she wouldn't say so, but she found them scary. She just didn't know how much they were filled with hunger.
"Are you going to..." She was about to ask again but he cut her shut with his answer.
"No." He said making her look back up at him with surprise.
"No?" He had this smirk when she asked, he went closer to her, leaned in like he was going to kiss her but placed his lips next to her ears, with both his hands on her slender neck, while he still played with her cheeks.
"I don't make love. I fuck. I fuck hard." He whispered in her ears with his magnetic voice, it sent shivers through her.
He looked back at her to get a reaction from her. She licked her lips, she had wiped off her lip gloss in the elevator, just because she wasn't comfortable but now they were a little dry so she licked them but he found it seducing of her.
He took her purse from her and kept it on the table in-between the two sofas. He took off her earrings, walked over to the bedside table and kept them beside his watch and a ring.
Coming back to where she stood, he caressed her shoulder, with his hands slowly sliding down the thin strap holding her dress, it stopped at her elbow and he began to kiss her right arm, he got back to her shoulder and she stopped him.
"Are you married?" She asked worriedly. She was going against her grandmother breaking by her virginity this way but she would never have sex with a married man or one in a relationship.
He chortled for a short while before stopping when he noticed she wasn't also laughing.
"No, I'm not." He replied her smiling.
"The ring." She was standing far from the table where the ring was and couldn't tell what kind of ring it was but she had to be sure
"My father's ring, mine now." He stopped smiling. " You don't know who I am, do you?"
"I don't, you don't know who I am either, I'm just being careful."
He smiled again.
"There's nothing wrong with that." He stated.
He wasn't married, everyone in city S knew that but she didn't. Now he knew she wasn't from this City, because if she was, she would know who she was about to have a one night stand with.
All she knew was that his name was Ben and that he was twenty nine years old, she didn't even know what he looked like before she came to the hotel. He expected her to be surprised when he turned the light on and when she saw who it was.
"Can I see it?" She requested.
"Really?" She nodded. He got the ring and showed it to her. She took it, looking at it now, it was obvious it wasn't a wedding ring. It had an inscription on it; B L. She gave it back to him.
"Can I fuck you now?" He asked standing as close as he was to her before with the tip of his nose touching her forehead.
"Don't use fuck, I'd rather you call it sex." She said, feeling his warm breath on her forehead.
"Why? It sounds too vulgar?" He asked again but she didn't say anything. "You know, maybe I should make love to you." He came to her right ear, kissing it. He heard her hum a little with pleasure.
He caressed her cheekbone slowly with his thumb, tracing it down to her lips. He admired them as he played with them using his thumb, he rubbed them slowly like he was putting lipstick on them.

"Are you okay?" Jenna asked her when she noticed she was acting somewhat different."Yeah, it's just..." Belle stopped and sighed. "Can I tell you something?""Yes girl, I'm all ears.""Well, you see..." Belle sighed once more after sitting next to her on the sofa in the living room."I thought and thought but couldn't get Ben a good gift. He got me those cars outside and all I could get him was tickets to go see a movie with me. I realized that I couldn't even go out to see a movie with him because he's him, you know. I feel bad but I'm trying not to because he was so excited gifting me the cars.""You got him tickets?" Jenna laughed after listening to her say all she had."Yeah?""Three of his houses in city S have private cinemas in them." Jenna couldn't stop laughing."Awwww, that makes me feel worse." Belle almost sobbed."I'm sorry. It's just funny but don't stress about it. I used to feel that way years back but then I realized he really didn't care what it was I bought, he only
Back in city S.Belle woke up and didn't see Ben by her side so she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to check for him but when she didn't see him, she decided to just do her morning routine of brushing her teeth and cleansing her face.After that, she decided to go to the balcony to check if he was there because lately, he was there using his laptop whenever she woke up late.She got there and didn't see him but she saw something surprising. There were seven cars parked downstairs. She turned around to go look for him but saw him just there, he had been behind her while she counted the cars."Good morning, my queen," he told her with a smile."Good morning," she held his face and kissed his right cheek."And happy birthday," she got on her tippy toes and hugged him and felt his arms go round her waist."You're finally awake, I've been waiting and my excitement almost died while waiting." He laughed after the hug."The cars?" She didn't know how to react though he was laughing."T
Larkson mansion.I"Aww, she has such a pretty face." Mrs Larkson said after some silent minutes of admiration.Belle looked up from her dish and smiled at the woman sitting opposite to her on the dining table. Things were great since she came by unlike all she assumed. Mrs Larkson didn't ask the many questions she assumed she had to prepare for so things were alright till she said:"My grandchildren will be so cute, I can already imagine." Belle almost choked on what she was about to swallow when Mrs Larkson blurted that out.Ben stood and filled a glass of water, rubbing Belle's back slowly while bending to speak to her as she had her head down."Water?" He proposed and she took the glass from him and took a big sip. While Belle was drinking water, Ben took the chance to give his mother a questioning look about what she just said.Belle returned the glass to him and he kept it on the table and sat back down. Mrs Larkson didn't say anything else; she didn't mean to make Belle uncomfor
Morning, the next day."Did you think about it?" Ben leaned against the wall with both his hands in the trouser pockets as he watched Belle arrange her hair."Think about what," she dropped her hairbrush and turned to him."Please tell me you gave a thought to what I told you last night.""Be direct, we talked about quite a lot yesterday," she started to put lipstick on her lips while facing the mirror again."..." Ben scratched the back of his neck and bit his lips because he knew that she remembered what he was talking about."Alright, I'm ready." She stood up from the chair in front of the mirror."Will you drop me off at my sister's or will someone else take me?" She asked, walking past him after picking her purse and hoping he followed like she wanted but he didn't. Ben pulled her back by her waist and he did it so easily, it made her wonder if to do a weight gain diet so he couldn't do that anymore."Please?" Be didn't let her go after bringing her back to himself. His arms around
"Hey man, come take a look." Belle watched as one of the men assigned to be with her called to the other after collecting her ring from her ring finger."Is it original diamond?" The man who was called asked."What do you think? Of course, it is, can't you see?" The first man held it up to the light."She's wearing a ring that's probably worth an amount I've never touched in my entire life.""Are we going to sell it?" The second man asked."We? Did you just say we? I'm the one who noticed it on her finger first...""Guys," someone came in while panting loudly."Yeah?" "I was upstairs..." The man stopped to pant for some seconds."I was upstairs, and I saw these vehicles...""Is the boss back?" The first man asked, putting the ring in his jacket pocket."I don't think so, he usually comes alone. When I said that I saw cars, I meant that there were at least seven of them.""Seven?" The second man asked."Yeah," the informant nodded."I would be far off if I had started to run when I saw th
Richard was now being tied up in her living room while she watched alongside Ben. She was excited at first, that Ben came to her rescue then realized sooner that he came solely for Richard."What did he do?" She asked Ben but didn't get a reply. "Search for it," she heard him order instead. The men started up her stairs."Search for what?" She asked again but got no reply. She saw Ben go over to one of the sofas opposite to where Richard was tied up to take a seat. She saw a look on Ben's face that she saw the day he came by and injected her with an overdose of the drug that landed her at the hospital. It was a masked look because he seemed calm but she knew he was angry and unhappy at the same time.When she got a chance, she moved to where Richard was and decided to ask him what she asked Ben earlier, hoping for a response."What did you do, Richie?" She asked and got a glare from him that made her move back."Where is she?" Richard's eyes turned from Alex to Ben when he heard the q
Alex was starting to get scared of Richard's presence when they heard her doorbell ring downstairs."Are you expecting someone?" He asked her."N...yes!" She lied and left him for downstairs before he could hold her back. Happily opening the door to at least be free from him, she saw Randy."Ma'am, I was sent by Mr Larkson..." Randy saw that she was in a towel and looked away immediately."Randy, thank goodness it's you." She pushed him outside and followed, closing the door behind her."Ma'am I...""Shhhh. I need you to help me okay? There's someone in there whom I am currently not very comfortable with," she started and when she saw that he was listening, she continued."I want you to act like we planned to leave together and that you came to pick me up. Can you?""I was actually sent by Mr Larkson to...""Aren't you listening to me?!" She whispered shakily."I need your help, someone broke into my house.""I'm not the police, ma'am." Randy remained polite though he didn't believe what
11:49 pm Cherry returned from the restroom and saw Brie seated on the bed, not sleeping. She lay on her side of the bed and pulled the blanket over herself to go back to sleep but couldn't, not when Brie was awake."You are overthinking shit again, aren't you?" She sat and joined Brie."I just have a bad feeling. It's been two days since Belle went to that wedding, I find it weird that she hasn't called or come over to tell us about what happened that day. You know how excited she gets, she should have come by to see us, you know.""Urggh, Brie, really? Is that why you are not sleeping?""Is it not a good enough reason?""No, it isn't. Get some sleep, Belle is FINE. She's probably cuddling in bed with him right now and you're here, worrying your ass over nothing.""I'll call her tomorrow morning, please remind me?""Yeah, sure. Can we return to sleeping now?""Okay." Brie rested her head on the pillows."Oh wow, that was actually easier than usual, you agree to go back to sleep. Good
Weeks later.Late night.Alex's heels made some noise as she walked into the quiet house. It woke Richard up; he had been sitting and waiting for her till he fell asleep."You're finally back, I've been waiting for you. Why didn't you pick up your calls? The least you could have done is answer the goddamn call and let me know if you're busy, you fucking left me worried.""You didn't see my text?" Alex raised a brow."I didn't.""Well, I sent you a text to let you know that I would be visiting Doctor Dan to fix an appointment for my abortion.""What? I thought we talked about that, we're keeping the baby, aren't we?""I changed my mind," she shrugged."You changed your mind? Seriously? Tell me you're joking, Alex.""Do you see me laughing right now? Look, Richie, I'll be honest with you. I went out with my friends after seeing the doctor and I'm as hell as I speak so please let me just go have a good shower so I can get some sleep." She started to walk towards the stairs."You can't mak
