Maija
I rouse from sleep with a desperate thirst. The room is dark, and I can feel Zayne’s hands tightly wrapped around my waist. After not talking to him all day, I came up to his room last night and put on his shirt because I missed him and needed him to know that I love him regardless of Danuel's antics. Today was awful, seeing him and not speaking to him; I hate being away from him, which is new for me since it was never like this with Danuel. I can't get enough of Zayne. I smile, recalling a couple of hours ago when I woke up to him reading the card. And then we made love and fell asleep in each other arms. It was amazing, I told him to show me how much he missed me, and man, did he show me. I try to smile, but my dry mouth stops me; oh right, I need to get something to drink. I remove his hand and slip out of bed, and head to the door. I make my way down to the kitchen quickly and head for the refrigerator. I pour myself a glass of water and take a seat at the table, l
Forty minutes later, I head back to the car after failing to convince her to marry me for a second time.“Sir!” He greets me with a smile, but he nods and opens the car door when he sees my face. I sigh as I slip in. I thought she would say yes. I thought she would change her mind if I told her I would put off my trip, but she didn’t. Nothing changed in the last hour since we parted for the same reasons. Reasons I can’t understand. I know we’re from different backgrounds regarding money, but that shouldn’t matter. What should matter is that we love each other, but maybe she doesn’t feel how I do. Although she agreed to see me again and promised to accept my calls, it still feels like I could lose her. Hector pulls off as I watch the doors, hoping that she’ll run out to me but knowing it won’t happen.****I listen to the team go over the quarterly profits, but I can’t focus because Carolyn is all I can
His driver leaves me at the airport, and I check my bag and have a seat. As I wait for the flight, my mind keeps drifting back to the last 24 hours, which was crazy, from the lobby fight to sharing a hotel room with him, the casino. I can’t believe I won a hundred grand and almost lost that much. I chuckle and close my eyes. It was indeed a night to remember.Buzz, buzz.My phone vibrates. I pull my phone from my pocket and smile when I see it’s a text from Maija.“Hey, mom, are you on your way back?” Why is she up? I wonder as I call her. “Hey, mom.” She says after she picks up.“Hey sweetie, shouldn’t you be sleeping?”“I just woke up….”“Maija Cesar, I told you, parents die a little each time their children lie.” She sighs.“Okay, okay. I was up all night reading.” As usual, she had never seen a book she wouldn&rs
Carolyn3:25 am“Marry me…” His question stuns me. Did I hear him correctly? He asked me to marry him. But surely he’s joking.I chuckle. “Charles, that’s not funny.”“Cary, I’m not joking. I’m serious; let’s get married.” My eyes open wide. He’s serious. What? My body heats as my heart pounds in my chest. He wants to marry me. Why? Right, he just told me he loves me. Do I love him? I like him. I like him so much that I want to see him past tonight, but marriage? We just met. “Carolyn, Carolyn.”“Huh?” His voice pulls me from my thoughts.“Are you okay?” I look at his warm eyes and nod.“I know you’re a little shocked. I would be too.” He says as he takes my hand and kisses it.“But I know, just like I knew with my first wife.”“But we just met; you probably knew her longer than a day
Charles1:30 a.m“Stop the car here.” Carolyn suddenly says.“Here?”“Yeah, let’s walk the rest of the way. It should be close by.”“The place you’re taking me.”“Yup.”“Okay, Barney, pull over. We’re getting out here.” Carolyn grins at me as the car comes to a stop.“Let’s go.” She grabs my hand and pulls me from the car as she bounces with excitement. She is so vibrant and full of life that it makes me feel like I’m twenty again whenever we’re together. I hope we can extend it past this weekend, but it will be up to her.“What are you thinking about?” She says. I lift her hand to my mouth and kiss it before replying.“You’re the only thing that’s been on my mind since six this morning.” A little shy, she turns her face straight ahead bu
Carolyn11:00 pmStill giddy from our trick on Paul, Charles, and I head to the limo, laughing.“Thank you for that,” I say as we slip in.“No need to thank me. That asshole deserved a punch."“Well, thank you anyway for not punching him and egging him in my honor,” I say as I brush my lips against his.“I’ll egg anyone for you.” I chuckle before pressing my lips on his. Feeling the heat flow through my body as the kiss grows more profound. I sigh as our lips part. I really could get used to kissing him every day.“I think I’m becoming addicted to your kisses.” He says as if reading my thoughts. Sometimes the things he says lead me to believe we may have a future, and other times it’s the opposite.“Is it a serious addiction?” I ask.“Oh, so serious. I may go crazy if I go too long without tastin
Charles9:30 pmCarolyn wraps her hands around my neck, pressing her lips against me. I groan as I thrust harder and faster. I feel her tightening, signaling she is about to reach her peak for the fifth time tonight.“Charles.” she moans my name softly once the kiss breaks. Her soft moans send me into a frenzy as my need grows deeper. I thrust harder and harder, capturing her lips again. I slip my hand between our bodies to find her pearl. I massage it as my hips move faster and faster until my climax rocks through me. I grunt as I feel her tightening on my tool as if it’s trying to squeeze out every drop of my love juice. Finally, she grabs my butt and sinks me deeper into her as we blissfully come down from our high.“That was amazing.” She says between breaths as I roll over on my back. I take her hand and kiss it.“It’s the best sex I’ve had in years,” I reply, still p
