Se connecterKara POV Lance and Cliff have really made sure I don't get a moment of privacy with the guards assigned flanking my side everywhere I go. I know they are doing it for my safety after the conversation we had about Valentine and his threats. But how am I going to explain in my place of work that as a newbie, I have people looking out for my safety? They'd be left wondering if I am a walking time bomb. I grab my phone and shoot Lance a short message. " Can the security withdraw once I am insíde my office?" I type then hit send. It doesn't take long to receive a reply from him. " We will discuss this when I get home. We can have the guards escort you to your office and keep watch outside your office. No one will know they are there. That way, you will be safe and we will have peace of mind." I read Lance's reply and I know the decision has been made already. " Fine." I type and send a simple reply. I know they are worried and they want to keep me safe, but I can't help but fee
Lance POV I can't believe that my little angel went through all that and I was unaware of it. Cliff is ranging but I am mad at myself. How could I let that happen to her! Why did I leave her all those years just because I was afraid? If I had stayed behind, I would not have...I shake my head to clear the thought. There is no point beating myself over spilled milk. The important thing now is to keep Kara safe. But as much as I want to protect her, there is a pressing issue that we have to discuss." We need to be smart about this." I start, my voice firm. " Going after him head-on might make things worse."" What are you suggesting? That we just sit back and wait for him to make another move?" Cliff asks, his voice laced with disbelief." No. I'm suggesting we be strategic. We need more information. We need to know how he found her, what resources he has, who he might be working with." I explain." We also need to make sure she is safe. 24/7 security, no more going out alone, no more
Kara POVI can't keep stalling time and Jade was right, I need to discuss it with my men. My men. That phrase sounds so weird yet so right. I never thought that I would ever find two men who would love me for me.Two men who would be willing to protect me without even knowing the truth.Two men who would give me the world with no questions asked." We know something happened yesterday, Kara. We need to know what. We need to know who that man was and why he was attacking you." Lance says, his expression serious as well.I take a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. This is it." The man...his name is Valentine." I start, my voice trembling." He's my ex-husband."There, I said it. The words hang in the air, heavy and suffocating. I wait for their reactions, for the questions, for the judgment.To my surprise, they don't say anything at first. They just look at me, their expressions unreadable." He's the man from my past. The one I told you about. The one I was trying to escape."
He whistles, getting on his feet. Like Lance, he's also in a swimming trunk. He also has a perfect body and I find myself drooling once more. I must have done something good in my past life to deserve two Adonis like them. He walks to me, kisses my forehead before leading me to the pool chairs. " We didn't know you knew how to cook. I'm surprised," I say, trying to break the silence that's starting to settle between us. " There's a lot about me that you don't know, Doll." He replies with a wink. "We want you to talk to us about what happened yesterday, Kara. We need to know." Lance says, changing the subject. Here we go again. " I know and I will. I will tell you everything. Just give me more time." I beg, not wanting to discuss it now. " Fine. But we won't wait forever, Kara." Cliff warns and I nod. " You need to learn how to relax, Doll. You've been tense since yesterday. Let us help you." He says, pulling me to my feet. He reaches behind my neck and unties the str
Kara pov Jade's words have been ringing in my mind. If I choose to keep things from Cliff and Lance, what happened today with valentine will happen again or worse. Valentine never issues fake threats and if he is here for me, he won't stop until he gets what he wants. There's no way in hell I am going back to that Womaniser who knows nothing but violence. As for telling my men, I still have my reservations. However, I know telling them is the best shot I can take at this point. But how do I go about it? How will they react to the story of my past? I lay in bed, my tears wetting the pillow. The excitement I felt earlier is long gone. I don't know how I remain there, lost in my thoughts when I hear hurried steps. I quickly pull the blanket over my head, wipe my tears and pretend to be asleep. I don't need anyone to tell me that it's Cliff running home probably after the driver informed him about what happened at the store. I can't face him. I don't know how to The door flies open a
Kara POV.I freeze, my legs momentarily refusing to work . My breath hitches and my jaws clamp together. I don't turn back. I know that familiar voice all too well to try to confirm the monster standing behind me." What? You don't want to see your beloved anymore?" Valentine asks, his voice filled with unconcealed mockery. My hands clench around the shopping bag in my arms. Slowly, I turn around and mask the fear gripping every living nerve of my body. I regard him with a forced glare." What do you think you are doing here?" I ask, my voice quivering, betraying my true emotions. " I'm here to bring my beloved wife home." He says, as he starts walking toward me. I start backing up, keeping a safe distance between us. There is no way he left prison so soon. Just when I thought my life was finally finding a semblance of normal, valentine shows up." What do you think you are doing? Don't come any closer or I'll scream!" I warn him. However, Valentin doesn't look fazed by my threat. On
Kara " So that's how it is? You want to use me and dump me?" Lance accuses and I fight the urge to burst out laughing. How did he come with such a ridiculous accusation? It's absurd coming from him. " No Lance, we are using each other. This relationship is transactional. I get something, you get
KaraI waited with bated breath for that moment when someone opens the door and I am exposed to the world as the most dirty woman. That moment when someone would scream and cast me a disgusted look for allowing a man to be intimate with me in a public space. But... " Ah, that one seems occupied."
Kara pov " You what?" Jade shrieks when I confess my dirty little secret. " Keep your voice down." I admonish her, looking around the cafe to see some of the customers giving us disapproving glances. " The people are staring." I add in a whisper. Jade shrugs, snorting. " Let them stare. I
Kara Cliff settles himself beneath my thighs as I kneel on all fours on the sofa. His warm breath fans my bare skin, and a delicious shiver travels the length of my spine. He leans forward, and his tongue glides up and down my slit. I gasp, and his fingers dig into the flesh of my ass cheeks as he
