Arthur lay motionless beside her. He couldn’t explain the burst of feelings and emotions that had overwhelmed him the moment he spilled his seed inside of her. She had been tight and warm and as much as he tried to make it memorable for her, it had ended up being so wonderful for him. He wondered if he should have more of this type of sex from now henceforth. It seems being interested in giving a woman her pleasure was more pleasurable than using the women who presented themselves to him. He craned his head and was met by her pretty face. Her eyes were closed and her features were well placed and at peace. She looked so beautiful and he wondered why he had never noticed just how beautiful she was. Maybe it was because he had been so interested in punishing her for sneaking into his house than anything else well, her beauty was sneaking up on him now. Letting out a tired groan, he climbed off the bed and drew the duvet over her. She looked so pretty on his bed as if she belonged th
Bella arrived at her small apartment on the other side of town and took the rickety stairs two at a time. It continued to squeak under her feet, but Bella wasn’t concerned about it giving way under her weight. Her thoughts were simply on her brother so she hasten her steps. While in the taxi, she had tried his phone multiple times and he was yet to take any of her calls. They had all gone to voicemail and she was so worried. She hadn’t seen her brother for two days and she feared that the worst had happened. “James, please be okay.” She begged as she approached her apartment door. As soon as she arrived at the door, she pushed her key in and flung the door open. The room was so small that the moment she got in, she was hit with a weird sense of claustrophobia. Heck, she had lived here for a long time and it was only taking two days at Arthur’s mansion for her to feel just how small her space was. “James?” She called out as she entered the small cubicle, they called a room. It was
Arthur walked into the mansion dead tired. He had had to leave very early for a business meeting that had lasted for long. After that, he had to go down to the construction site of the apartments he was developing. He had recently begun investing in real estate and as much as it took a lot of raw cash from him, he believed it was a great investment. But despite the tiredness he felt, all he wanted to do was go in and sink into Bella. She was his after all and he didn't have any ill feelings toward making love to her now that she had signed the contract. Maybe he was going to keep her to himself for a longer time. His weary face curved into a smile as he ascended the stairs leading to his bedroom. “Mr. Lorenzo.” Mrs. Jenkins bellowed from beneath the stairs.“Good evening Mrs. Jenkins.” Arthur greeted her with a tired smile. “I am so sorry for my manners. Good evening Mr. Lorenzo. I just wanted to tell you that the young lady was so excited to receive the credit card from you just b
Bella sat anxiously waiting for Arthur to leave for the office. It was a work day and she was so eager to meet her brother. She knew she had to inform Arthur of her going out, but she didn’t want him in her business. Theirs was a business transaction and she didn’t want them getting entangled in each other’s private lives. Well, not her life. She hated being pitied or taken advantage of and it was the one reason she was avoiding telling Arthur the truth.Despite how much she waited, the man didn’t seem to leave. Instead, he climbed the bed and ran his fingers up her arm. The signature chills she had come to associate with his touch ran through her, reminding her of last night. Last night had been different. It had been rushed and though she had managed to get off the first time, she felt lacking and wanting. It was the reason why she had pushed him for another round, but it had been painfully slow and despite how much she tried, she couldn’t get to the peak.Arthur had withheld som
Arthur walked into the house and a quick trip to his bedroom made him realize Bella wasn’t home. His demeanor changed and he took a glance at his wristwatch. The time was fifteen minutes after eight and he could clearly recall that he had told her to come back before 8 pm. He knew that it sounded awkward to be giving her a curfew, but he needed to be in control. He needed to be aware of her going out and coming in. It was the only way he could remain in control and keep her safe. He didn’t want a repeat of what had happened to his sister. “Arthur, calm down. She came back yesterday she would definitely be back today. You just have to calm down.” He said to himself, hoping that he could keep himself calm until she came, but his anger only seemed to be stoked. He hated being angry and he only felt angry whenever he felt out of control. And somehow, he was certain that he was going to get back the control that he had lost to Bella. She had come to him with the proposition and had ac
“How did you know?” Bella asked when the initial shock from his words had worn out.She had refused to spill her secret to this man and now, he probably knew her worst secrets and was going to take advantage of her for her. He took a step away from her and let out a breath. “I know you are going to be mad, but then, I just couldn’t help. I was curious about where you had gone and I decided to track you down and I just ended up digging things about you.”“Fine, so you called a private investigator to follow me around and get information about me? I thought we agreed I was going to have some sort of privacy?” She yelled, swatting hard at him on the chest. Arthur let out a breath and told himself to focus. She was a woman and was simply angry and he wasn’t going to lash out on her. He had done what he did because a part of him cared about her and because he needed to know what was going on to feel in control.“I didn’t get anyone to follow you about. I am a man of my word, but my curi
Bella stood by the door, her heart in her mouth. From the small one-way window, she could see her brother eating quietly on his own on the hospital bed. He was at peace and she was happy that her brother looked peaceful, but she wasn’t at peace now. She doubted if this was a good idea, but there was no way she was going to tell the man no. “Do you think this is a good idea?” She turned around and asked Arthur who stood behind her at the door.“If I didn’t think it was a good idea to see your brother, I wouldn’t have suggested it to you Bella,” Arthur said, staring down at the woman. "Don't you have to go to work?" She queried him.Arthur chuckled. "You really are trying too hard to get me off your back.""Not that, it's a contract with no string attached. You don't have to have worry about James and leave your work undone.""Getting a day off work isn't going to make me poor."Since he uncovered the truth about her, he developed a soft spot for her and as much as he was hardly tend
“Where did you learn how to talk to people so nicely?” Bella asked in a light-hearted tone as they entered the front door of the mansion. “Hey, I speak nicely to people, so what’s up with that question?” Arthur asked as he undid his cuffs. Bella stared at the man as he removed his cuffs and rolled his sleeves up. Next up, he undid the first three buttons of his chest. These actions were simple, but they made Bella swallow with anticipation. “Hey?” Arthur waved a hand in front of her face. “You look lost.” “No, I don’t.” She denied.“Alright, if you say so,” Arthur said and smiled at her. He had a lovely day today and he wanted a repeat of it. James had been a great conversationalist and it was just so great to talk to someone so carefree and light-hearted like him. James had not been afraid to speak to him like a normal person. This level of carefreeness was what Arthur lacked in his life and he was so happy that he had finally found someone willing to treat him like a man witho
