SHE’S MINE 20
Aiden yawned as he made his way downstairs. For the first time in weeks, he had slept peacefully and he was taking a break from work which was an absolute shocker to his personal assistant. Life was great, the association of business managers and administrators had nominated for businessman of the year which he had won twice in a row. He was certain he would win again because of how hard he worked, his father’s company recorded twice the usual amount of sales in just a few months of him taking over.He decided to skip his usual morning run because the day was strictly for resting and his hands were still bruised from boxing.As a married man, he wasn’t doing as bad as he thought he’d do. His mother invited them for dinner which he almost declined but accepted at the last minute only because she hadn’t met Jeanine yet. He sighed at the thought of his wife, she was quite a character. It was obvious that their little kiss had rattled her but she was right too, if she didn’t feel

She scribbled some notes in her book as she tried to keep up with her lectures. Usually, she was weeks ahead of what was being discussed in class so her little break from school didn’t change anything. The whispering that followed her around had died down, all people did was stare at her which she didn’t mind. She had to develop tough skin if she wanted to complete her degree or she waited another year. She sighed for the umpteenth time as she focused her eyes on the board. Zoning out was difficult, Aiden somehow occupied her thoughts the most. She had seen him shirtless in the kitchen and she struggled for words. She fed her eyes on his body and devoured him mercilessly, she wanted to ask what each tattoo signifies, to memorize each placement on his body. Seeing him in that state made her stutter, she searched for words but could barely find any. Now that that image of him was registered in her mind, it won’t stop creating fake scenarios of the both of them. She felt her body cr

When her body crushed into his, he felt the hard knot of frustration and tension in his gut release. The ups and downs that came with being a businessman were sometimes too hard to bear but with Jeanine around, she gave him hope that everything would be just fine, he didn’t have to worry too much. He received a call earlier in the day, asking him to host a soirée for some business expatriates coming into the country the next day. It was a big deal, an opportunity to pitch business ideas to business owners from other countries thereby expanding his company.Last minute, he decided to stop by her school to pick her up. He didn’t need her or her services at the moment but he was her boss and he could make her do whatever he liked and he didn’t mind some company. He was fascinated by the simplicity of her life. All she wanted was to be financially stable while as a child, he was raised to take over a multimillion dollar company and lead thousands of people. He liked her world so muc

Ray.co was one of those tall buildings that fascinated her as a child. It was always full of life, during lunch break, a troop of workers would flood into their little family cafe for food. She liked how they were dressed smartly, how they used so many business terms she didn’t understand as a child. It was her dream to work there but she gave up when she saw it was almost impossible. She loved the office so much, she imagined that if she ever got an employment there, her father won’t be quiet about it, he’ll proudly tell everyone who visited his restaurant that his daughter was one of the workers at the skyscraper. She sighed as she took in the building and it’s view. Everytime she came there, she was shocked by the size and height of the building. The last time she was around, it was to pick up yet another rejection but now, here she was as the wife of the owner of the company. “Are you okay?” Aiden as he joined her at the reception She nodded and gave him a small smile.

A couple of days had passed since she accompanied Aiden to Ray.co. She played the role of a supportive wife by sorting out the drinks, food and decor for the soirée. It wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be, she had to find diverse meal options as people from all over the world were coming. The fun part was seeing Aiden everyday. Their conversations were mostly about work but she loved to hear him speak. She found it strange that she was turned on by him merely addressing his workers or giving them orders, he was so manly, a man that could take charge of any situation. One afternoon, there was a mistake in a shipment for a client and an argument began. Aiden quickly jumped in and diffused the situation, he handled it with so much professionalism and confidence. Jeanine impulsively whispered “that’s my husband” to the receptionist. Of course the receptionist knew they were married but Jeanine had gotten so excited and proud that it almost sounded real in her own ears that Aid

He had to keep a count of the number of times Jeanine had made him nervous, no one woman had ever made him feel nervous or tongue tied but Jeanine —that woman was something else. The moment he saw her at the top of the stairs, his jaw fell open but he quickly closed it. If he never believed angels existed, at the sight of Jeanine, he did. Her dress snug her tiny waist, highlighting her curves. He could feel his lower member rise and God did he wish it would stop rising.When they were at work, he caught himself checking her out a couple of times. She could have on plain jeans and her regular college hoodie but his eyes would still be focused on the roundness of her bottom. He should have told her she looked nice but nice was an understatement almost like a lie. She looked magnificent, drop dead gorgeous but how was he going to tell her all these without making it sound awkward? No, he didn’t want her to get the wrong impression. “Why do you have all these?” He asked, point

The Braithwaite’s home was a castle. She watched in awe as the large iron gates opened up for Aiden to drive in. There was a huge water fountain in the middle of the compound, she had never see one as magical as it was. There was a beautiful gazebo at the east side of the compound and although she didn’t have a clearer view of it, she knew if she had one in her house, she’d spend most of her time there. Fairy lights were hung around the wooden framework which reminded her of a princess magical story. She had always thought that Aiden’s home was luxurious, it had face recognition doors and antique designs that were no longer being made but this house right here was made of dreams and everything a woman could wish for.She imagined living in a white picket fence with her family if she got married but scratch that, it was too basic. This was the kind of home she wanted to raise children in. “This is so beautiful” she gasped as he pulled into the drivewayThere were a fleet of

Aiden loved his mother with every fiber in him but did she really have to show up at that time? Did she even have to interrupt their moment?He placed his hands in his pocket to hide the bulge he got from kissing Jeanine. Her lips were soft and he didn’t mind the taste of her lip gloss, he’d been dying to kiss her all day and when he finally got an opportunity to, he didn’t want to stop. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment when his mother caught them. There were like two teenagers who had just been caught making out when they shouldn’t, it gave him an extra thrill that he hadn’t felt in years.He took her hands in his and led her into the house. He could feel her hands shake as a result of feeling nervous, he quickly moved his hands towards her waist as a form of comfort. The last time he had come home was after his father’s death, so many memories of his father haunted him that he wished he could have done something to save him. Each time his mother or sisters invited hi
