*LORENZO* I wasn’t sure if she heard that because her weight on my body increased and then I realized that she had fallen asleep.I slowly removed some strands of her hair from her face.My Alora.Please love me. Just a little bit of love will be okay for me.******** I was addicted to that moment right before I woke up, when the wispy cobwebs in my brain thread together to form a coherent ball of consciousness.It was usually disorienting and foggy with half my brain still lost in whatever dream I was having.But something was different.My body felt warmer than usual and I become aware of the sweetest smell. Something tickled the bottom of my chin...something soft and hard at the same time.There was a head nestled in the crook of my neck and a slender arm draped across my stomach. A warm leg was hooked on my thigh and a soft breast resting on my left pec. My eyes opened gradually and I found Alora snuggled up against me. I was on my back with b
*ALORA* “You won’t…you just need to calm down.” Lorenzo said, rubbing his hand on my back. “Oh my God…I can’t feel my stomach…” I panicked. He came in front of me and pressed his lips to mine, catching me totally off guard.I had a sharp intake of breath.Lorenzo’s mouth tasted so good like always.He opened his mouth and kissed me deeply.His warm tongue ran along mine.And then I recalled I must taste bad from being sick, the drugs and all.I broke off the kiss. “What is it?” He asked. “My mouth, I don’t taste….” “I love how you taste…even sweeter than usual and I want more.” My entire body felt like it had been ignited as he claimed my lips again.He brought his hand to my face, cupping my flushed cheeks before both of his hands went to my hips.He pulled back a little and planted a small kiss on my cheeks. "My Alora." He breathed out, then quickly brought his mouth back to mine, his tongue sliding in once more.
*LORENZO* I was in my office at Ford Group, staring at my cellphone and wondering whether to text Alora or not. I had barely come by Ford Group these past few weeks because of my busy schedule and now coming here and being told Alora wasn’t at work was very disappointing. Today wasn’t her off-day. And Esteban said she didn’t call in to take the day off. Now I was wondering why she wasn’t at work.Does she have something important to do today?I wanted to know what it was.I always wanted to know everything she was up to.I didn’t want to come off as too overbearing but I couldn’t help it. If I could get into her skin, I would.Well, I’d just call her. It rang off the first time and I called again. She answered this time. “Hello, Alora…”She was quiet and then I heard her cough.I quickly sat up. “Alora, why aren’t you at work?” I asked, softly. “I’m…I’m not feeling too well.” She bit out.My pulse pounded in my veins.She was sick?My Alora…sick?I instantly re
Paula and Lucia were dragged back to the bamboo house. They both kept crying until their eyes ached, until they had no more energy left to cry.Suffering the consequences of their own actions left them bereft. They didn’t know how long this would go on for but they now understood that they were never getting out of this.The realization filled with them great sorrow.************ Camila on the other hand had started job hunting. She was living in a shared dilapidated apartment with some people. The people were hard to live with. All they did was drink, smoke and act reckless. They were so loud and it felt like torture always coming back to this place. She had no choice. This was the only place she could afford for now.Dante had literally disappeared from her life. She couldn’t reach him neither did she get any calls or texts from him. She had become an enemy to Gael, the one man she thought was going to change her life. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t l
“Hurry, Lucia!” Paula urged her daughter as they ran further into the jungle.Lucia looked back, frighteningly. The last time she had tried to escape from the hellhole by killing herself, she recalled how much she was tortured for that. Her body was still healing. It had been hell since the moment they got to this island. Never in a million years did she think her life would end up this way. When she pictured her future before, she always saw herself marrying a very rich man, being the Madam of the house and having everyone at her feet. Now, she had literally been thrown out of society. From a mansion to a bamboo house in an unknown island. Thiago also seemed to have lost his mind with this new life of his. He was so cruel to them and he had started to physically abused both of them any chance he got. He beat them, cursed them everyday for making him lose everything. He had sworn never to forgive them. How could he? When he had been stripped off of everything he ow
*LORENZO* I was setting the table the following morning when Alora walked in. “Good morning, Reina.” I greeted. She had an uncomfortable look in her eyes.Christ!Not again.I may have fucked her to get her back to me, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t letting her go back on her words. “Let’s eat.” I began, pulling out a chair for her. She pulled out another chair and sat down. Sighing, I brushed that off and sat opposite to her. “Lorenzo, about last night…” “We don’t have to talk about last night anymore. We’re good. We’re okay.” “I…” “You already gave me your word, Alora. You said you still wanted this…” “How could you make me have such conversation at that moment?” “Let’s just eat, Alora.” “Why can’t you understand? This could end badly for me.” “Let’s just keep having fun. Just enjoying each other. It won’t end badly, I promise. Stop overthinking.” I said, softly. She rubbed her temple. “How
