AYRA
He looked at me without saying a word, then broke into a hearty laugh. His voice was warm and deep, and it sent a shiver down my spine. “You have no idea what you’re asking for, do you?” he said. I felt a slight sting of offence. “And what was that supposed to mean?” He took a step closer, his face dangerously close to mine. I could feel the air shift. His presence filled the room. His hand moved to my cheek, stroking it lightly. “I have a good feeling this isn’t your thing because you look like a doe in a den of wolves.” His voice dropped to a quiet, low rumble, making my stomach flip with excitement. I swallowed hard but refused to back down. I was taking charge of my life, and who the hell says I can't be aggressive? I tried to wrap my hands around his neck, but they couldn’t quite reach. As I dragged him closer, in one swift move, my lips crashed into his. His shock was evident—he froze for just a second—but it didn't last. He immediately took control. His hand found its way to the back of my hair, tugging lightly, pulling a gasp from me. He took that as his cue to slide his tongue in and deepen the kiss. I moaned at the sheer feeling of his velvety tongue. His other hand found its way to the back of my ass, pulling me closer to him, making me feel his rock-hard length against me. We continued to kiss and grind, the heat between us escalating, until he stopped. I whined at the loss of it all—his lips, his hips grinding on mine, his entire presence dominating me. Brielle was right, I fear. These guys knew the female body. They knew it damn well. I’d never felt this way with Chris. And him being the only one I’d been with for years? That spoke volumes about his “skills.” “Feisty, aren’t you now? But is this what you want? Because you can’t undo whatever comes next. So, I need you to make it clear,” he said, his voice low, teasing. I wanted this. And besides, it was just one night of blissful sin. What did I have to lose? “You’re speaking too much. Or are you afraid you won’t live up to the hype?” I challenged a smirk tugging at my lips. He broke into a wide grin. “Do well to rate my performance tonight.” ******** We got into the room in a frenzy, the drive here a blur. One moment, I was waving Brielle off as she whistled at my pick; the next, I was grabbing a fistful of his hair while he gave me the best head of my life. “Don’t come yet,” he ordered, voice thick with promise. “I swear, it’ll be worth the delay.” But I was already too far gone…too lost in the heat, in the need, to offer anything more than a desperate whine. He didn’t stop. His tongue lapped at my clit with expert rhythm while his fingers worked me open, unrelenting. If I was going to lose my mind, this was how I wanted to go. Pleasure surged through me—my clit throbbed, tingles raced from my pussy to my nipples and back again until I couldn’t tell where they started or ended. “Good job holding it in, Cupcake,”. Now, come for me,” he coaxed, voice dark and low. He continued to stroke deeper, while his tongue worked relentless circles around my clit. The combination made my hips jerk. It was too much, and it was still not enough. My thighs clamped tight around his head, trapping his hand between them. I shattered, orgasm crashing through me in waves that left me breathless, my pussy pulsating and gripping his fingers as he held them inside me. I trembled and shook as the pleasure rolled through me until I could barely breathe. And when I finally slumped back, spent and sated, he looked up with a smug smile, wiped his mouth, and licked his fingers like I was the finest dessert he’d ever tasted. “You taste so good, like the sweet cupcake that you are” he groaned, and his cock twitched in response as if it had a mind of its own. He reached down to adjust himself, and I caught the motion—my lips curling into a slow, sultry smile. His cock twitched again, eager and insistent, as if demanding attention. He ran a hand down his length, squeezing himself briefly before glancing up at me with a devilish grin. I couldn’t help but smile back, my body still buzzing from the aftermath of my orgasm. His hands slid down between my body, his fingers brushing against the sensitive lips of my pussy. I moaned against his mouth, my body trembling in anticipation. His hands moved to my breasts, cupping them, before finding my nipple and pinching it gently. A shock of pleasure shot straight through me, making my pussy clench in response, my hips rising slightly off the bed to meet him. He didn’t waste time; with a shift of his body, his cock was teasing the entrance of my pussy, rubbing against me, making my clit swell and throb. My hips pushed forward, a silent plea, desperate for him to fill me. He wasn’t in a rush though, he leaned down, kissing my neck, his lips trailing up to my jaw, then pulling my bottom lip between his teeth. The sensation sent a shiver down my spine. My mind was on fire, and I could barely think straight when his voice cut through the haze. “Open your eyes and watch me,” he groaned, his voice low and commanding. My eyes snapped open, locking with his as I nodded breathlessly. He pushed forward, slowly at first, giving me time to adjust, his thick cock stretching me inch by inch. It was overwhelming, almost too much to handle, but I couldn’t get enough. “God!” he groaned, pausing for a moment as if letting me get used to the feeling of being full. I gasped, my pussy tightening around him, begging for more, wanting him to move. He grinned, then slowly withdrew before thrusting back in. My breath caught as I felt him fill me again, deeper this time. The sensation of him inside me was intoxicating, and I couldn’t stop myself from meeting his thrusts, matching him stroke for stroke. I could feel the tension building inside me again, my body was on edge, spiralling towards another orgasm. His pace quickened, his hips slamming into mine, making the desk groan under us. Every thrust sent waves of pleasure crashing through me, so intense I could barely think, barely breathe. His hands gripped my hair, tugging my head back, exposing my neck as he kissed me there, biting gently, making me moan louder. It was all too much, and not nearly enough. My fingers dug into his back, my nails trailing down to grip his firm ass, pulling him even deeper. I wrapped my legs around his waist, locking my ankles behind him, desperately holding onto him as if I could keep him inside me forever. “You feel amazing,” he groaned, his breath ragged. His lips found mine again, kissing me fiercely, his tongue making its way into my mouth. His hands tangled in my hair, holding me in place as he kissed me with growing urgency. Then, without warning, his hand moved down, finding my clit again, rubbing it in circles that pushed me closer and closer to the edge. I couldn’t hold on much longer. My orgasm hit me hard, my pussy clenching around his cock as I trembled, my body convulsing with the intensity of it. I moaned loudly, gasping for air, as the wave of pleasure took over. “Ughh,” he groaned, his voice thick with need. His hips stuttered, and with one final, deep thrust, he buried himself inside me, his cock pulsing as he came, filling me with warmth. He collapsed on top of me, his breath hot and heavy against my skin. As my body trembled from the force of my climax, I couldn't help but think about how I'm definitely gifting Brielle a pink Hermes Kelly, for her birthday this year.AYRA"He also wants you to fake date someone else to take the heat off the whole situation, so it wouldn't seem like you feel miserable about the whole divorce thing."I didn't know why I expected any better, but I didn't dare say anything. I just stood there and listened to my father speak like he wasn't asking me to commit social suicide. And what broke the camel's back was when he said:"And he's also giving me the investment I asked for. I already have everything planned, the business is finally looking better—""You can't be serious… You can't be bloody serious," I said, my voice deadly low. My nails dug into my palms, threatening to draw blood."Ayra, what is your problem this time? This is basically a win-win for every one of us. Can't—""Can't I what? Understand? Make space? This is what I've always been and will always be to you, isn't it?—a bargaining chip." The words tasted bitter on my tongue, years of resentment bubbling to the surface.Ayra, get married to Christopher Ya
AYRAI woke up to my phone screaming in my head. I checked the caller ID and saw my father's name flashing, and I groaned.Ughh. What does he want now?It was barely 8 a.m. and already my day was threatening to turn out bad.I picked up the call and waited, but heard nothing—just the sound of his breathing, steady and annoyingly calm, like he had all the time in the world. He was always like that: silent until it served him to speak.Then, finally he said “Come back home. Let’s talk, Ayra.”Just like that. No hello, no “how are you,” not even a fake pleasantry to pretend he cared. Straight to the demand.I took a deep breath. I really didn’t have time to argue with him. I needed a solution to my problem, and another one of our fights wouldn’t help—not when everything was crumbling faster than I could patch it.“I have a lot on my plate. I can’t come running at your beck and call for frivolities. You’d know the reason if you cared even a little about me.”“You're having problems becaus
AYRAI walk into the restaurant, dressed head to toe in designer clothes, fully aware of the impression I'm making. Brielle and I had agreed looking materialistic would be the perfect strategy for tonight. She followed me in but would be entering after I did, hiding behind dark glasses to watch the date unfold from a distance. My Jimmy Choos clicked sharply against the floor with each step, the sound of them echoing in the space.A server led me to my table, confirming I was Brielle Rosa Caruso when my eyes landed on a fine pair of grey ones. His beauty had a roughness to it. The table was empty, and he had been looking at the menu. There was nothing on the table, which was a sign that he wasn’t going to impose, waiting for me to make the first move. Not bad. I moved closer and said, “Hi, Valentino.”He looked at me, taken aback by my appearance, maybe, but I schooled my face straight, betraying none of my thoughts.“Rosa? You look a bit different. Well, I haven’t seen you since you
AYRAI walk into Yolo Entertainment wearing a teal Zara jumpsuit, with one single goal in mind: Saying no to everything Matt would spew.Raven is by my side, and we are the definition of the determined duo.I push his office door open, and there’s my step-sister, her smirk quickly fading as she rushes toward me.“Ayra, how have you been holding up since the news? I’m so sorry about how this turned out. You know I’d never do this to you intentionally, it’s all so shocking, yunno?" She pauses for dramatic effect, then continues, "I’m glad you're here to sort all this out. Things like this aren't really my thing. I was just as surprised as you must be.”I nod and reply, “You’re right, you're too simple-minded to understand what’s happening, and it’s not your fault. That’s why I’m here—to help you navigate the brain-clouding intricacies of the entertainment industry.”Victoria’s eyes go wide with anger, but she doesn’t say anything, instead retreating back to her seat without another word
AYRAAs I heard the name, I couldn’t help but burst into maniacal laughter. Anybody witnessing this must think I’ve gone mad."They did what? They put a rookie with no significant role and messy acting to do what now? If this wasn’t something I wanted and because of Phillip, I would have agreed about her doing it because it would be fun to watch Victoria get eaten up alive."Raven frowned. "This isn’t something to laugh about, Ayra. They're trying to sabotage you. This has to be Chris or Victoria, but one of those bitchy Yaldons is after you for sure. Ferdinand is known to be in Ryan's circle," she said seriously, but I couldn’t help still laughing at the thought.The sheer ridiculousness of it all was too much."Has the news gotten to the public yet?" I asked, because knowing that would determine my next move."Not yet. They know better than to spring this up on you. They know you’re crazy enough to go live and flat out deny this, and they wouldn’t be able to do it anymore," she sai
AYRAI watched as Julia walked up to me with Dara by her side. Julia had always been like this, competing with me even for things I could care less about. Always needing to prove something — to herself, to others, maybe even to me.If I got a brand deal with Elein Atelier, then she would want that too, or a strong competitor in that same category. It was always amusing to watch her try so hard, chasing after everything like it would somehow close the gap she thought existed between us.Still, I respected her even though she hated my guts for God knows what reason.Julia never had it easy. She worked hard to get to where she currently is, so that alone is enough reason for me to look past whatever grudge she had against me. I did work hard too, but I’m not going to pretend being a Smith didn’t give me doors most people had to break down just to knock on.Admitting that fact takes away nothing from the efforts I’ve put into mastering my craft. If anything, it makes me more determined to
AYRAMy eyes flew wide in shock as I grabbed his hands and wrenched them off my waist. “Are you crazy?” I whispered sharp, but loud enough. I spun around, scanning the area to make sure no one saw.“More like insane, if we wanna go there,” he smirked.I shot him a death glare. Every muscle in my body was tense.“You’re fine, Cupcake. Your secret’s safe with me.” He winked—this infuriatingly gorgeous man winked, and those honey-brown eyes of his practically sparkled.Focus, Ayra. What was I worried about again?Then Raven snorted. I looked up to find her watching us, amused. Before I could say a thing, my manager—the one who’s supposed to look out for me decided the best thing to do was abandon me.“So…I’ll be in the car, where no sound can penetrate. You two go ahead and… continue whatever this is.” She didn’t give me a chance to protest before she was gone.I rolled my eyes and gritted my teeth, already plotting how to get her back for deserting me. A spa day filled with painful wax
AYRAI watched as Olivia realized probably for the very first time in her life that she had no power to bend someone else to her will.And she wasn't taking it well. Her bottom lip trembled in anger, her fists clenched so tight they turned white. Her carefully composed exterior was cracking, and I was here for it.Then Lucy broke into laughter, making the already tense atmosphere even more unbearable. “Well, who would’ve thought he had the balls? But honestly, you both deserved this. I should’ve live-streamed the whole mess. I can see the hashtags now: #TroubleInTheYaldonEmpire, #RichPeopleDrama—”“This doesn't leave this room.” Olivia snapped, cutting her off mid-cackle. “And Lucy, just because I've let you off with this foolishness doesn’t mean you get to spew nonsense. Have I made myself clear?”Lucy’s face flushed with embarrassment as she grabbed her bags, slipped on her sunglasses, and muttered, “Clear,” before storming out.I took that as my cue to get the hell out, too. At lea
AYRAI could see the glint in his eyes as he watched me realize who he was—and is that a smirk I see curling his lips?At this moment, I didn’t know if I wanted to faint, scream, or let the ground swallow me whole out of pure, undiluted embarrassment. Chris looked like he could commit actual murder. His face twisted, the vein in his forehead pulsing before he spat out, “Why should a bastard be speaking to me about my private affairs? Don’t you have other things to worry about, like being recognized as family? No one knows or cares about you, Liam. Check the photos on these walls—you aren’t there because you are a nobody. So do not try to act all familiar with me.”His words were sharp enough to cut through steel. He said it loud enough for everyone to hear like he wanted the insult to sting not just Liam but to make a statement. And I winced for Liam.But Liam, who I had expected to explode, didn’t even blink. Not a twitch, not a single flinch. Unbothered to the point of being unne
