ASTRID’s POV

Not gonna lie, I appreciated his honesty but I was shocked. I had questions, but I wasn't sure if I should ask.

It had been a very long day.

I yanked my hands off his neck, and I ran outside to the car. He followed behind me, but he seemed uninterested in whatever I was doing.

“Why did you run off?”

“Just, open the car, please.” I said calmly, and he did.

I sat in the front seat and he also joined me in the driver's seat.

“I have a question for you, Mateo.”

“Oh, now you want to talk? Crazy.”

I looked up at him angrily. “Excuse me? Did you just call me crazy?”

He lazily looked at my eyes and smiled. “I would never do that. I meant your attitude is crazy. Now, what do you want to ask me?”

“Do you have a girlfriend, like an actual girlfriend?”

He chuckled loudly like I had cracked a joke.

“Astrid.. Yo, that is a big one. Well, if you must know, I don't have girlfriends! It's just sex, a one-time affair, I only go back when I enjoyed the first one.”

    ASTRID’s POVWe arrived at a bar and he insisted I take a glass of wine at least. Just something to cool my nerves down.I had yet to speak to Ethan, and he had stopped calling anyway. I was going to answer it in the car, but Mateo confused me with his soft hands caressing my thighs. “Excuse me.” Mateo excused himself and I looked around the bar, hoping that I didn't recognize anyone.My phone rang again and I angrily answered it without checking the caller ID.“What do you want Ethan? Leave me alone!” I shouted into the receiver. “Okay, girl, chill the hell out! What the fuck is with you and this husband of yours?” Brenda? How on earth? I looked at my phone screen and it was indeed Brenda, oh my world. I hadn't checked and thought it was Ethan.“Girl, I thought it was Ethan, ah, I am so confused right now.”“Girl, what is going on? Tell me. Huh? Did Ethan do something again?”“I already said I was gonna call you tomorrow to explain everything to you, but I guess I will say everythi

    SOMEWHERE FAR IN LAS VEGASINAUDIBLE CHATTERINGARES’s POV (MATEO’s STEP BROTHER)This thing was taking longer than it should be. I mean it was also our right to do this. At a table with my other brothers, we all sat around in a rage. We were beyond angry.“Hey, we can't keep whining and wailing forever you know? We need to get that stupid step-brother of ours to sign the documents, so we can take our share of the properties.” My little brother Harris blurted out, and he was right.“You know what the most annoying thing about all this is? The fact that the one who holds the key to our freedom and is not even very related to us. If Dad had just kept his legs closed and not fucked that bastard's mother, he probably wouldn't even be here right now.. In this world.” My other brother, Elijah added.I hated my father for what he did, for getting another woman pregnant, but I hated Mateo even more for coming into my family and ruining it.My mother died, and all my father did was get another

    ASTRID’s POVEthan never ceased to amaze me. He left after promising to be back, but all he did was send a text to his bodyguard. He probably didn't have the balls to send them to me. He was the most annoying and dumbest person I had ever met, that guy. How could he do this to me? He asked for a date and then went off to Nelly. I sat on the bed not knowing what else to do or say.. I was lost, I was hurt, and Mateo was right in front of me, looking all hot and smirking at me.God, this temptation was too much, come on. My husband had once again disappointed me, and this hot guy I had a one-night stand with was right here again, in front of me. What was going on? What was happening? What sign was this?“Get a hold of yourself, Astrid, please.” I whispered to myself.“Ma'am, you can either decide to drown yourself in sorrows and thoughts or I could take you out for a drive, your choice.”I looked up at his face and immediately looked away.“Do not fall for his tricks, Astrid. Not again,

  • SHADY DESIRES   My muse

    MATEO’s POVAnd once again, I had her right where I wanted her. I began to caress her bare thighs with my hands, but I stopped. I just needed to be sure if I could still go that far, but with how intensely she was kissing me, I felt sure I could still fuck her if I wanted to.I needed to keep my head and focus on what I got the job for. Despite that, I pressed her boobs with my hands and she moaned on my lips.“I can see that you love this, don't you?” I whispered against her lips, but she didn't say a word. Instead, she sat down on my lap, and for the first time in my life, I was shocked by a woman. A minute ago, she didn't want me in her space, and now she is sitting across my thighs with her legs wide open.She kissed me again and seemed ready to yank her clothes off, but I stopped her in time. It was so obvious that she had been lacking good sex.“Hey, Hey, get a hold of yourself, okay? I mean, I want this as much as you do, but the timing is wrong.”She quickly pushed me away a

    ASTRID’s POVI kept staring at him because how was I supposed to know what he came for?I think I need to see my therapist because the thoughts I was having while staring at this man are illegal. I know I should not be having such thoughts about him but I couldn't help it.“How would I know that? Did you come here to destroy my home?.”“Not at all. I don't mean to be rude but I think your home is on the cliff by the way, so I don't have to lift a finger if that was what I came here for, but no! I came here to work, I had no idea, Ethan is your husband.”I stared at him and I was confused. Am I supposed to get angry or not? He looked like he just made fun of me but then he also looked like he didn't mean it. I wasn't sure what it was.“And in the whole of New York, you could only find my house, right? How does that make any sense?.”“It will make sense to you later on, Astrid. For now, I need to get you home, so I can return to my house.”Wait, he won't be spending the night? I do not
