I woke up the next morning and it felt like I was floating in the middle of an ocean.
I tried to recall everything that had happened last night, but my memory was quite blurry. With a sigh, I heaved myself up to a sitting position and looked around the room. I squinted at a little note on the table and next to it, was a fat bundle of cash. I dragged myself to it and the more pain I felt, the more I remembered the crazy sex I had last night. I could barely believe my eyes. Ten thousand dollars in cash! But that wasn’t the most intriguing thing about this morning, it was rather the thoughts of the perfectly built man that had fucked me mercilessly. I could almost feel his touch on my body, the cuffs that had bound my wrists felt so real once more, even though I was a free man once again. I put on my clothes, shoved the cash into both of my pockets and headed downstairs. Mark was right there, waiting for me with a smirk on his annoying face. “I am not giving you shit.” I said to him flatly. He gasped in surprise, “Why do you think that is all I want from you?” I glared at him, “Because that is what you always want from me.” I replied and walked past him. The bar wasn’t open yet and this made me glance back at him in surprise, “What the hell is the time?” “About six o’clock. You slept like a log of wood. I came in and saw your ass out in the open, filled with fucking semen, it was disgusting but I mean…I just couldn’t look away.” I grimaced at him and cringed badly, “What the fuck, man?” “I’m serious. I didn’t take a picture though, so like, you’re kind of safe,” he chuckled, “you did very well, Oli. The client was satisfied with your services. He is rarely satisfied.” I nodded to myself, not so proud, but at least I was grateful for the money in my pocket. “Whatever.” I replied, even though I was buzzing with excitement that I pleased such a hunk of a man, “I have to go now. I will report for work at noon. Is that good?” He grinned and just sat back. “You can take the whole day off, Oli. You have earned it.” I left the bar without another word and on my way back home, I received a notification that made me freeze right in the middle of the side walk. Someone nudged me forward and I blinked severally. Dear Mr. Sallow… What followed wasn’t the usual rejection, I got accepted into one of the companies I had applied to. And it was the biggest company of all! The EmpireSpark Ventures, which was a company owned by one of the richest families in the state; The Cheslyns. “Fuck!” I exclaimed with excitement and rushed home. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but I arrived home screaming my lungs out. I rushed into the bathroom, took a quick shower and was out in a less than ten minutes. I was breathing heavily as I emptied my wardrobe in search of my best outfit to put on. I stood in front of the small mirror beside my rickety bed and adjusted my tie. The only terrible thing about my outfit was my shoes. I stared at the cash I had dumped on my bed and scooped a few dollars into my pockets. I could get some new shoes just for this interview. I rushed to my mother’s room, she was still sleeping peacefully. Ruby must have gone to school by now, so I decided to write a note for her. I found an envelope on her disheveled desk and stuck a few notes into it, along with a letter instructing her to get my mother’s drugs when she was back from school. I was out of the house before seven thirty. My interview was by 8am and I rushed into the boutique opposite my house block. I got a nice, brown leather shoe for about forty dollars; the most expensive shit I literally had at that moment and I boarded a cab. I arrived at the headquarters of EmpireStark Ventures and at the glass, revolving doors, two hefty guards stopped me. In a haste, I brought out my phone and showed them the email. “Sorry, I am supposed to be in there in about two minutes.” I said and the guards grunted and parted the way for me. I rushed in and stopped at the receptionist desk, panting slightly as I struggled to catch my breath. The beautiful blonde stared at me hesitantly, “Sorry, you are here for?” I swallowed and took one last breath, “The internship interview. I got the email this morning and rushed here as soon as I-” “The boss is currently busy,” she cut in curtly and pointed at one of the waiting room benches, “you will have to wait there. I will inform him of your arrival.” “Thank you.” I said and sat down with a shaky smile. What if I was too late for this interview? The receptionist’s stare was so discouraging. After about twenty minutes, she snapped her fingers at me and I jerked off the seat immediately. “Last floor. It is the only office on that floor. You can’t miss it.” She said, “the boss will see you now.” She directed me to the elevator and on the way up, I couldn’t stop thinking about the weight that those words “the boss” had carried when she said it. Whoever was in charge of a dynasty this huge had to be a very powerful man. I watched the number of each floor light up and it made me tensed the farther up I went. The nervous ride came to a stop and the doors parted. It felt like I had just been led to hell’s gate. I found another receptionist desk right in front of a huge office and all the cold woman that sat there did was gesture to the office. I took a deep breath and walked into the office. The moment I set my eyes on the man behind the large mahogany desk, I froze instantly.It was him! I felt my dick hardening at the sight of him and I swallowed, but my throat was already parched. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was my last client who was the boss!Benjamin“Yes, so the capital will be-” my phone dinged on the table. I chuckled, “excuse me,” I raised my finger as the board meeting went on. I flicked the message from Oliver and…fuck. My dick swelled instantly, straining to be set free.“You’re in so much trouble when I get home,” I texted back immediately.“How much trouble, Daddy?” he replied with another picture of him. He was in tight leather pants that left nothing to imagine, with a whip wrapped around his neck.Fuck this meeting.I coughed softly, disrupting the attention of the presenter, “I’m sorry but you may have to go on without me. I have…an emergency at home, my boyfriend is having an…episode.” They gasped and nodded quickly, whatever they thought episode meant, I didn’t know, neither did I care to ask.“Oliver! You’re a dead man!” I shouted as I burst into the room and ran up the stairs into the bedroom. As soon as I found him leaning on the wall with a prideful smirk on his face, I slammed his back against my room
Oliver“Please, tell me he will be alright,” I whispered, the tears caking on my cheek because of the wind.“Sir, please, stand aside,” the paramedics pushed me aside as they hoisted William on the stretcher into the back of the ambulance.“You killed my son!” His mother shrieked inside the vehicle as they glided in. The doors closed before the night air was torn by the loud screams of the ambulance, tearing into the road and down to the hospital. The puddle of blood was a distance off, from where he had hit his head hard and cracked it open.The blood had formed a halo, and he looked like a disjointed angel, begging for death. I ran down the steps, slamming the dial for the ambulance before I arrived on the ground. The ragged breaths he took, his slow, painful wheezes, but all I could do was stand and watch him till the ambulance arrived.I had called his mother a few seconds after I called the ambulance, and she arrived just in time. I found the courage to walk: the cold air nibblin
OliverI gasped , clutching my chest. The beads of sweat had pooled around my body, soaking my entire sheet. My heart was palpitated, ready to burst out of my chest. I scanned the room, and the empty motel room was illuminated by the dingy light from the wardrobe.I wish I could say that it was a nightmare, I wish I could sleep it off and wake up to the fact that everything was alright, but I knew it wasn’t. My heart ached, burned even when I found out that he was dead.The thought of it left me scarred, how it had happened so fast, how the news had smacked me coldly in the hospital. I didn’t expect him to die, there was no way he could. People like him don’t die, they had too much money to.And his company? How the fuck would it go on? Would his mother take her grimy hands and rule? He always said that his mother wanted the company, under the guise of the prosperity of it. Now, she had access it.I grabbed the bourbon from the side table, and took a swig. The liquid burned down my t
BenjaminThe entire room was swarmed with silence, so thick I could hear the crickets through the closed windows. Veronica’s mouth hung open for a split second before it curled into a smirk.“Wow, never thought you had it in you,” she chuckled. I eyed the gun in her hands. If I ran toward her, there was a possibility I could hit her before she fired.I swallowed. It was risky, but it was possible. I didn’t dare turn to see the surprise that was surely painted on my mother’s face. It wasn’t a sacrifice, it was a distraction.Inasmuch as I disliked my mother and what she had done, I couldn’t kill her. I couldn’t stand by and watch Veronica take her life for any reason. “What the fuck, Benjamin!?” Anna rushed from her seat toward my mother.“If you take another step, I’ll put a bullet in your head,” Veronica angled the gun in their direction, her focus diverted from me. I crouched slowly, not too quickly to attract her attention.I grabbed a pillow and whipped it across, she turned too
Oliver“Fuck,” my head hurts like I had smacked the hard pavement in an accident it felt like my head was a bass drum to their fourth of July parade. It hurt to even move. From my shielded eyes I could see specs of light above moving, or was I the one moving?A sharp pain tore across my wrist causing me to wince. I tried to struggle but whatever had me was too strong. The pain shot along my feet, my toes tingling as a result. What the fuck was happening? I groaned as I forced my eyes apart.The light shot into my eye, burning it immediately. I snapped to the side, shutting my eyes from the rays. When the sting died off, I opened them slowly once more. The walls were tilting, a hula dance between the curtains and the bed post. Everything started to fall into place: the walls became sturdier and the curtains stopped moving, and the…What the fuck? I snapped toward my wrist that was bound by a rope, the rope was attached to the bed post. I darted toward my other hand, the fibre stood pro
Benjamin“Veronica, put the gun down,” I stretched my hand toward her, slowly placing my mother behind me. She cackled, whisking the hair away from her face, “now you want to talk civil?”She snorted and wrapped her finger around the trigger.“Veronica! This isn’t some fucking game! Put that thing away or someone could get hurt,” I warned her. She corked her brow and tilted her head to the side.“You think this is my first time handling a gun?” She moved her line of trajectory off centre and fired. Anna squeaked and darted behind when I heard the sound of the vase near Anna shattering into splinters.Anna shivered, curling into the chair. My mother folded my shirt, hoping to merge into me. My heart beat erratically inside of me coupled with the dryness in my throat, my head felt light.“It’s okay, Veronica, we can talk, just put it down,” I took a step forward and she shut the ground just a foot away from my toes. I jumped back.“Don’t even fucking move,” she sounded different, her t
