LOGINCarlton froze, genuinely caught off guard. “You don’t even know me,” he said slowly. “Why would you ask me for something like that?”
Penelope felt her cheeks burn with both shame and defiance, stunned by what had just left her lips.
“Do you…” she stammered, “…find me attractive?”
Silence stretched between them as Carlton’s gaze slowly traveled over her, from head to toe. He ran a hand through his hair, visibly unsettled.
“Yes… I mean, you are. But I won’t take advantage of you. Why would you want to have sex with me?” he asked, so full of uncertainty.
Penelope took a deep shaky breath, her vulnerability exposed a side of her she rarely allowed anyone to see. Her body wanted to run, but her vulnerability fought the instinct.
The room felt too quiet, as though the walls themselves were listening. Penelope could hear her own heartbeat, loud and erratic, each thud reminding her how close she was to unraveling completely. This wasn't a desire guiding her—it was grief, shock, and a desperate need to feel something other than betrayal.
“Look,” she said in a calm and soft voice, "I just realized I've made a terrible mistake all my life,” tears welling up again. “And before I snap back to my normal self I want to make just one last mistake.”
“That doesn't make sense at all. Why make more mistakes when the one you made left you in this terrible form?” he asked, trying to fathom what he had just heard.
“By doing this, I wouldn't feel guilty of the mistake I have made, this is all I want from you. Don't try to understand me. Have sex with me, simple. I sincerely don't want to know you, I don’t want your money. I don’t want your love or a relationship.
His jaw tightened. Desire flickered in his eyes, but so did restraint, the kind that came from knowing this moment would leave a mark on both of them.
Carlton studied her for a while, the room felt heavier under his silence. He wasn’t looking at her like a man eager for pleasure—he was looking at her like someone standing at the edge of a decision he couldn’t undo.
“No, I can't do this,” he said, the only help I can offer is by giving you a listening ear.”
Penelope didn’t respond, and to his utter shock, she ripped the towel off her body, standing naked in front of him.
Carlton’s eyes widened, at the sight of her perky boobs and her meaty clean shaved vagina.
He looked away from her naked body, “you're hurting, this is not right.”
“Just have sex with me, that's all I ask for, please.” Her eyes pleading.
He exhaled slowly, as though steadying himself. Whatever she was offering wasn’t just her body—it was her brokenness, and he knew accepting it would change the course of the night.
“I want this, this will clear my head.” She moved closer, pressing her breast against his chest and kissing him.
The moment she kissed him he let go of every hesitation and returned the kiss with equal passion. Before she knew it, he carried xr toher over to the bed, laid her on it and grabbed her boobs.
He broke the moment, held her gaze and asked her “do you really want to do this?”
Penelope gave him a pitiful furrowed look, “Yes I want this,” voice sharper than ever.
The moment she gazed her consent, he removed his clothes, pinned her against the bed and ravaged her lips, his mouth moved to her breast, using his tongue to caress her nipples.
Even though she believed having sex with a stranger would dull the pain of realizing she had loved a devil all her life and nearly married him, his touch aroused something in her far deeper than Geoffrey ever had—and that terrified her.
She found herself moaning loudly, letting her hand slide down to the bulge between his legs and squeezed it gently, releasing a soft attractive moan from him.
A gasp escaped from her lips, when his fingers connected with her clit, she tightly held on to the bedspread, as she buried her other hand in his hair, massaging his head lightly, while the air filled with shared intensity.
She pulled out his dick from his underpants, turning her over, he buried his face in her pussy while she also got busy by giving him “mouth job.” He increased the pace of his tongue on her clit, as she couldn't hold back anymore turning soft moans into loud cries of pleasure.
“Fuck me now please”, she pleaded. Wanting nothing more than him buried inside her.
“I will baby, but you have to cum for me” he said, dipping his fingers in her pussy as he continued with the increased pace of his tongue on her clit, as though that was all she needed to hear she screamed “I'm cumin’… I'm cumin’, she toppled over the climax of pleasure and her nod shook with the force of her orgasm.
Still trying to recover from that he positioned himself in-between her thighs and slid his big cock into her wet drooling pinky rose with an urgency she wasn't used to, sending her into another round of orgasm.
She moaned loudly, wanting him to pause so she could catch a breath and also not wanting him to stop as she flowed with the rhythm of his thrusts.
In that moment, Penelope who had always thought sex wasn’t so pleasurable, discovered how good and pleasant sex is.
She spent all night in the arms of the striking, handsome stranger, he held her so close as she unlearned all the lies Geoffrey told her about herself and her body. Subtly, her pains disappeared into thin air.
Geoffrey's jaw was clenched in anger as he watched Penelope's retreating figure and his eyes were dull with confusion at the same time.He couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Penelope seven years ago and why she changed so drastically from the sweet girl she used to be.What was she up to? He mused as he turned on his heel and headed for Carlton's office, his anger barely contained as his mind raced with questions.Why was Penelope still involved with the company and with Carlton? What was Carlton thinking? Why did she sound like she had personal business with Carlton?Carlton looked up from his desk when Geoffrey barged into his office without knocking.Did something happen? Why do you look that way?" Carlton asked, his expression calm and unbothered.“I should be asking you if something happened. Why did I just see that lady here again? I thought you said you wouldn't do the interview. So, why did she come back here?" Geoffrey asked heatedly.Carlton's expression remained
The next day, Carlton was as professional as ever, but Penelope couldn't shake the feeling that he was watching her every move, waiting for her to slip up. She had to stay vigilant and not let her guard down.At the close of work, she felt a sense of relief wash over her as she made her way out of Carlton's office and headed for the elevator.She was relieved that Carlton had behaved himself and not caused any unnecessary drama. All she had to do now was do her best to keep things this way for the next twenty-two days and soon it will all be over. Her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar but unpleasant voice calling out her name."Penelope? Penelope!"Penelope took a deep breath as she turned to face Geoffrey, praying for the patience to deal withhim.“It's really you. What are you back here for?" He asked as he strode towards her, his expression a mix of surprise and annoyance.When Hillary had informed him that Penelope had checked out of the hotel, they had both assumed that sh
Penelope sat down trying to suppress the anger boiling within her. She didn't know what infuriated her more, Carlton's arrogance or the fact that he was right, she couldn't afford a scene at the company."Fine. Let's get this over with," she muttered, picking up her menu and pretending to be engrossed in it."That's the spirit, Carlton said, his smile widening as he signaled the waiter over.They ordered their meals, and the atmosphere at the table was thick with tension. Penelope focused on her breathing, trying to be calm and collected despite Carlton's presence. She knew she had to play along, at least for now.“So tell me, Pen, have you gotten a place yet?” He asked, attempting to strike up a conversation as their drinks were served."Not your business," she muttered.“I don't suppose you are still at the Orchid Hotel, are you?" He asked, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise making him smile.“What? You thought I wouldn't know where you moved to after leaving my hotel? I don'
Penelope felt like half of her burdens had lifted after finally moving out of the hotel and into her apartment.The past week at work with Carlton had been surprisingly drama-free and pleasantly uneventful, so much so that she found it hard to believe, considering how he had made her think he would spend the entire time flirting and seducing her throughout the duration of their arrangement.Judging by the way everything was going smoothly and how she had yet to run into Geoffrey for the past week, she was beginning to think that Lady Luck was on her side, and she could only hope that it would remain that way for the remaining three weeks of the arrangement. Arriving at the office, Penelope’s brows furrowed when she noticed Carlton was nowhere in sight but his coat hung on the coat hanger which told her he had already come in.Deciding to confirm with his secretary, she stepped out to ask, and the secretary informed her that he had stepped out a while ago without mentioning where he w
After the close of work, Penelopereturned to the hotel that evening,her mind swirling with the events of the day.Despite her initial fear, the dayhadn't been so bad. Carlton had been surprisingly professional and had barely paid her any attention, being too engrossed in his work.She was grateful for that smallmercy and hoped it would continue that way since she had been able to observe him quietly, taking notes for her article without feeling the intense scrutiny she had expected.She was also glad that she had not run into Geoffrey and she hoped that she wouldn't have to run into him until the arrangement was over, especially since he worked on a different floor.As she entered their suite, the girls who had been playing quietly with their toys, ran to welcome her happily. "Welcome, Mommy," they greeted excitedly, throwing themselves into their mother's embrace, however, Penelope didn't give them the whole smile she usually did since she knew she was about to break her daughter
Penelope arrived at Banks Corp early the next morning, her resolve firm but her nerves frayed as she was still very anxious about working so closely with Carlton.She had spent the night tossing, turning, and dreading the month ahead, knowing that everything could go wrong with just one wrong move. She was not only scared about him finding out about the girls, but she was also scared about falling for him.She wasn't too arrogant to believe it was impossible, He was, after all, the man who had given her the best sex of her life, and all these years, whenever she pleasured herself, she fantasized about his touch, even though she couldn't clearly remember his face.Today marked the beginning of her project with him, and she wasdetermined to maintain her professionalism, despite their complicated past.As she approached his office, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door since Carlton had given his secretary strict instructions to always let her in whenever she arrived as long as
Carlton strode through the hotel grounds, as he made his way to the playground. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the playground where the sound of children's laughter filled the air.He smiled as he approached, glad for the initiative that had made him think of building a playground
Penelope stared at Carlton, her heart pounding in her chest. Recovering quickly from the initial shock, her hands moved to the front of her bathrobe and she held it tightly together."What are you doing here? What do you want?"Carlton's grin widened. "May I come in?""Certainly not," she snapped.
Penelope leaned back against the cool leather seat of the cab, her mind buzzing with the events of the morning.First was the visit with her soon-to-be stepmother, followed by Susan's call, and then her visit to Carlton's office. She couldn't shake the feeling that everything was moving too fast.T
After Sarah left, Penelope sat by the bedroom window with a cup of coffee in her hand, still trying to figure out the best course of action for her situation.The twins played quietly with their toys on the bed, their laughter a comforting background melody to Penelope's scattered thoughts.As she s
