Chapter 32Percy POV “So how long is this fake engagement going to last for?” Donovan asked without looking at me.“Dad!”“This isn’t fake Donovan, in as much as it makes me feel Percy is smitten by this one.” Greta said cutting through the steak in her plate. “He bought her the Bermuda Black diamond.”“Shit. There’s no way that can be fake.” Josh muttered out loud while the rest of the table zeroed in on Eden’s finger. “That’s – Percy wouldn’t buy something that expensive for a girl, “ Jade stuttered glancing from me to Eden.“I thought so too, until I saw her wearing it to the office the next day.” Audrey stated walking into the room, “They work i the same place-““I guess instead of Assuming we should ask the couple instead.” All eyes skimmed to us, and Eden who I feared for kept her cool. Dapping her lips with the napkin she raised her head high with a smile.“
Chapter 33 Eden POV With Percy gone, Lucas and I were left alone. He didn’t say anything and so did I but it was getting awkward. “So Lucas, what do you do?” really smooth Eden, really smooth. I gave him a soft smile hoping he didn’t find me bland. He lit up at my question and faced me. “I’m a designer.” He answered. Now that he mentioned it, I noticed his outfit, not the basic suit you would see, the pattern was different from everything I’ve seen. “Did you design what you’re wearing?” he nodded and turned for me to take the full image in. I’m not going to lie the guy is talented. “Yes, I designed what I’m wearing.” “Wow that’s awesome, if I had such talent I would never spend a day shopping for clothes.” That was true, I wouldn’t have to go through the torture of shopping of endless clothes. “Well, thank you for pointing that out but my parents think I’m wasting my time. You know, I have no intention of taking over the family business and my parents especially my mother isn’t
Chapter 34 +18 Percy Pov She knew what happened between me and Greta, I expected her to look at me with those eyes but instead it was something different, she wanted to know if I was okay. No one has bothered to ask me if I was fine, ever since I realized that I was in the wrong, the guilt ate through me every single day but Eden didn’t add to it. When she touched me I didn’t mean to flinch but it surprised me, she shouldn’t be nice to me. She shouldn’t feel sorry for me, she should blame me and make me feel horrible. When my eyes locked with hers I felt my insider tearing out, anger and pain and sadness along with thousands of emotions washed over me. “It’s okay-” she assured me. No it’s not. I wanted to argue. “I’m here Perc-” that was enough to push me off the cliff I was trying so hard to avoid, I reached out for her and with no regrets I kissed her. Her lips were warm and tasted like the wine she drank earlier, she doesn’t fight me and wraps her arms around my neck. My hands
Chapter 35Eden POV“Percy- don’t stop, yes-“ my voice were muffled out by the dirty moans that escaped my lips. My hands grabbed both side of the sheet and my eyes shut as pleasure overwhelmed me. His warm body pressed against mine, his hard on pressed against my core through the material of my cloth. Without the clothes, I wanted it without the clothes.“Eden-“ I heard my name, it wasn’t soft and it was odd. “Eden-“ I heard again, when I opened my eyes I realized that it was all a dream and I was currently on top of Percy, dry humping him. He had his eyes on me, I could trace the teasing smile on his lips and from the way his hands held both side of me I discovered he was keeping me from moving any more. Reasons; he was rock hard beneath me.“Good you’re awake.” His voice was hoarse and compelling. His eyes still had sleep in them, I had waken him with my selfish sexual needs.“Oh my god! I’m sorry-“ I apologized making an attempt to scramble off him but failed since his hands were
Chapter 36 Eden pov “Are you expecting anyone?” I asked frowning in annoyance at the interruption. Percy who had climbed off me grabbed my shirt off the floor and handed it to me, how did anyone manage to get in with the lock? “Percy-” “Please don’t tell me you two are having wild sex?” I sighed in relief at the voice, it was just Zachary. “The fuck man- what are you doing here?” Percy cursed from behind the door, wondering why he wasn’t making any move to open up I saw him hold his budding erection in his hands. Right – he didn’t want his best friend to see his boner. He caught me staring at him and winked. “I left numerous calls Percy you weren’t answering.” I walked past Percy who tugged back at me into his hold, he placed a soft kiss on my lips. “We’ll finish this later.” He murmured and let me go. He opened the door to Zachary who was typing on his phone, his attention landed in Percy and then at me. “Hey Eden.” He greeted with a cheery smile. “Good morning Zach.” I was s
Chapter 37Percy POV “The expected income for the third quarter is approximately-“ the voice drowned out in the background as my attention fell on the woman a seat away from me, she had her hair packed in a pony tail and her black rimmed glasses complimented her face. I watched her every move, from the notes she squabbled down in her book to when she chewed on her buttom lip when confused by a particular term. My eyes dipped further to the opening on her chest, the two buttons of her blouse had been undone and her skin was exposed but not too much, images of her sitting on my laps Is stirred in my head. For a moment her fingers rubbed against her neck massaging the muscles. I wished it was my hands instead. She turned to exercise her head but she caught me staring at her. “You should be paying attention.” She mouthed to me. “I am.” I winked in her direction, she only rolled her eyes at me and turned back to the presentation going on. There was a slight pause and the lights came b
Chapter 38Eden POVHans properties. I wasn’t sleeping when I went to them as a relator for the building I wanted to acquire. Of all places I could’ve gone to I ended up going for Hans, I knew it belongs to C & S, I knew it belonged to the Callahans. After Percy and I reached the front walk of Freddie’s I marveled at how homely it looked, the exterior was painted soft lavender and white, quite an odd color for a man who owns the place. I smiled as we walked inside, we were greeted by the aroma of different type of pastries, ranging from cookies, to bread and just right on top the counter fresh batch of doughnuts were stacked. My mouth watered at the sight, rushing over like a child I beamed in excitement. “That’s the eyes of someone who loves good pastries,” the blonde haired woman behind the counter stated, in her purple pinafore she placed another set of doughnuts under the casing. “Welcome to Freddies, which cravings do you want satisfied today?” my eyes found the name tag, Fred
Chapter 39Percy POV Eden took an awful amount of time getting ready, I had washed up myself and was making us some snacks to eat. Yes, I was cooking for a woman. When I asked if she wanted to come back home, I hoped she’ll say yes and she gave me the opportunity. Talking about Peter with Eden was another threshold I didn’t think I would cross. I didn’t expect to throw that piece of information at her about seemed to understand, her mother was also in the same place. Did it hurt her as much as it did with me? Peter was the one person I looked up to, ever since I could walk on my two feet ive always wanted to be like him. He was a brother that turned friend. After the news of Peter’s condition was explained to me, I was scared that I wouldn’t leave his side and in the fear of not losing my brother I lost my best friend. Something else bothered me about Eden, she doesn’t seem to remember. She doesn’t remember who I am or what happened when she was sti
