Shawn took my bait.“I’d tell you more, Serenity. Just not here.” He winked at me. “Do you know why I love to have you around? You are easy to talk to.” He shrugged, taking the last steak off his plate and into his mouth.We conversed a little more before we were done with dinner and Shawn offered to take me on a tour of the estate.With a furrowed brow, “Tonight?” I asked.“Why, yes. Don't worry, there's a maximum security here. We’ll be fine.” He smiled brightly.I wasn't that concerned about the hour but the thought of walking around with Shawn on such a cold night was daunting. I thought those kinds of things were what people do to bond.Shawn wasn't trying to get closer to me, was he? Did he offer this to his other flings?Hell, wait. He did say he never brought any home. Why was my case different? Did I have something to worry about? I couldn't help but be uneasy.“Alright.” I breathed, a strained smile catching on my lips. “I have toured around your body. It's only fair that I d
Warning: Mature Content Ahead!I had heard Shawn call me ‘beautiful’ before, however, this one came with such an undercurrent of emotions – of need. Shawn was craving for me. I could already see where this was heading.Now, why didn't I feel tired by the thought? My own throat parched, void of moisture as his hands grazed my neck. His thumb began to brush against my pulse point that fluttered willy-nilly beneath his touch.“Y—your hair is nicer when it's damp.” I had no idea when I blurted that out.It was true that he looked breathtaking all wet like that. The beauty of it was not even to be compared with the bathroom wetness as this was on another fleek.Seeing Shawn surrounded by all of that water with the moonlight doing its thing was ethereal. Still, I shouldn't have gullibly admitted it.A proud smirk settled on his face. “I know. Yours, though is magical, like I said. However, why do I get the feeling that you are hiding away the rest of your beauty?” He began to caress my hair
“Wait, bunny. ‘Imma lick it off you.”He did. Shawn’s lips trailed my back like a feather, soft and sweet against my skin. I shivered despite the warmness of the water. I had just had an orgasm and didn't think I was ready for another.He carefully lifted me to the pool’s edge. “Do you swim?” He asked.My breath caught in my throat, not only from the adrenaline of his touch but also from the unexpected question. Did I swim? It felt like a lifetime ago that I'd last graced the coolness of water until a few moments ago when we both were doing our thing in his pool.I used to," I shrugged, wondering why he’d asked.Shawn’s touch settled on my arm. “Used to?” He arched a brow.“Yeah. Work. I told you I haven't really had time for pleasure or recreation for a long while. I've only stepped out with my friends to the club a few times.” I pointed out.Shawn began to nod. “Ohh.” He acknowledged then began backward movements deep into the pool. “Wanna race me?” He spread his arms, looking lik
SHAWN DONNELLY~~Sex with Serenity increased in the ferocity at which it set his soul on fire with every time they did it. There was more to her than she was showing. That hidden part of her was what had begun to draw him closer.He asked for her on a tour of his apartment because he wanted them to do more things together. To explore. And perhaps, that’d make her a lot more comfortable around him.However, retaining his control was a lost cause at the sight of her body. He had her in the pool. He wanted her to just relax but the sex had been inevitable.He initiated the swimming race to at least, accomplish a part of his plans. He was satisfied when she loosened up and laughed.Now that they were again in his room, he was suddenly aching for the smell of her hair. Thus, he hugged her from behind but he didn't fail to notice the way she stiffened.And when she asked for him to go to work, he understood that she wanted a little privacy. He’d give it to her. He wasn't sure what propelled
Three hours later, Shawn still sat in his study. He had no idea why Sage wanted to see him but he knew it would be up to no good.Sage really had nothing more than trouble to offer.He glanced at the clock – it was slowly waltzing toward midnight. Serenity would be sleeping by now. It was funny how they lived a totally different life. She was a virtuous woman while he was the opposite of that.He picked up his phone. Sunny – he needed to call him. His fingers tightened around the phone as indecision chewed at him. He could feel his anxiety growing.In this stance, he could only think of Serenity. Her faint smiles, touch, and — moans. Argh, what the hell was going on with him?!With a sigh, he sank back in his chair, the leader groaning under his weight. He finally pressed the call button after Which Sunny’s voice came from the other end.“Mr. Donnelly,” Sunny stated after picking up.Shawn had no idea why it felt like his problems were half solved at the sound of Sunny. “Sunny, it's
“I’ll trust your judgment, Mr. Donnelly.” Sunny conceded. “However, I do not think she stops us from having our meeting. The walls of your mansion are soundproof. We can just discuss in your study.” If Sunny didn't have a lion tattooed on his entire left arm, Shawn would have had no problem with that. “It would be weird to see me with you. Don't get me wrong but you know you have that gangster look.” He said.Sunny chuckled, not picking an offense. “I do understand you, Mr. Donnelly. To beat your fears, I’ll dress up like an office man. That should help, right?”Shawn wanted to tell Sunny that his gangster appearance stretched beyond clothes. There just was this aura about him. His looks, nothing seemed reserved. However, “Good, Sunny. That's good. The day after tomorrow then. I am very eager about whatever your plan is. You coming in the morning or evening?”“Depends on the level of your curiosity.” Sunny threw the decision ball at him.“I can hold on just fine. Let's meet after wor
As Shawn stepped into his office at the company, a strange sense of calmness enveloped him. Everything appeared as it should—no signs of unexpected trouble or looming issues. His office was also intact. Phew!Surprisingly, this brought him an unexpected wave of relief. He hadn't realized how much the anticipation of facing more challenges had been weighing on him.When Gina welcomed him with a smile, he merely waved at her and just walked in. Sunny’s words had also been taking effect on him. He was this cold and distant towards Landers too.The thought that any of them could have been betraying him did not permit for him to be able to treat them as he used to. The moment he entered the office, he phoned Sunny.“Mr. Donnelly. I was also about to call you but it seems you always beat me to it.” Sunny remarked.It was funny how he had begun to talk to Sunny even more than the other close people in his life these days.“Have you begun to investigate the hotel?” Not in the mood for misce
CALISTA [SERENITY]~~When Shawn left after I sent him off to work, instinct told me to sneak after him. And thus, I slightly parted the door, watched out for him, and quietly snuck behind him until he disappeared behind a door.I stood behind it, hoping to eavesdrop on whatever it was he’d be doing or whoever he’d be speaking to but to hell with his walls. They were soundproof.I ended up hearing nothing. However, there was one thing I came to find out though; Shawn spends a lot of him behind that door. I wondered what was in that room.I’d check it out later.I moved away from the door and had barely taken five steps when I noticed a maid standing just outside the corridor, arranging some flowers in a vase. Her name tag read ‘Elena.’And Elena, she had a big fat frown on her face. Damn. I had been careless.“Excuse me, miss," Elena said softly, catching my attention. "I couldn't help but notice you were near Mr. Donnelly's study. Is there something I can assist you with?"Caught off
