The Jewel's Seduction

GIANNA'S POV2 Weeks Back."Thank you, ma'am." I smile at the old woman as she hands me my bag of fruits. The oranges looked so fresh I couldn't resist stopping to buy from this roadside shop. And to think of it, I don't remember when last I ate fruit. I need to improve on my diet.I walked back to my car and drove straight home. It gives me a different joy whenever I pull up at our home. How far we've come. We were poor in a richer than the poor way, but we were poor. If you get what I mean.My father could barely put us through school so we all had to apply for scholarships to finish high school and college. We could barely afford a three square meal and I wouldn't dare look at a freshly shaded fruit by the roadside when I was still gathering up money to buy textbooks and pay for my project. It was different now. I'm glad how things turned out. I always admired the small mansion Dad had bought with his first big salary. I admire the number of foods I would see on our table when it

If I should be glad about one thing today, then it should be meeting this man, 'cause, who kisses this way. Three years, three one-night stands, and I've never felt this way. Enkindled. My hands moved on the stranger's arm, taking my time to feel his muscles as I kissed him. His hands come up to my hair, taking the band off and freeing my hair out of the ponytail. My hair falls onto my back and I moan into his mouth as heat erupts through me. Without dispatching, he moved us slowly to his bed. I fell on it, disconnecting our lips but he came down to connect them. He grinds on me and I reciprocate the action. Grinding on each other. "So sweet." He says, playing with my tongue before biting down on my lips and kissing me deeper. I moaned in between kisses. He had already managed to make me wet in a matter of seconds and I liked him for it.This man kissed differently. Different from the men I'd kissed before and the man who had spoken to me downstairs. He kissed me like he was devou

I jump as the hot oil splatter to the dorsal of my palm. That was when I realized I was lost in thought and someone had been at my door. I turn off the gas and rinse my hands in the kitchen sink to get to the door. "Giana Doxon. Don't tell me you went to the club last night without me!" She rests her palm on her hips dramatically. I ignore my best friend and engulf her in a hug pleased to see her. I hug her long enough for her to be worried because no, I never was and I'm not a lover of hugs. The last time I hugged her this long was when I lost my sister."Start spilling what the problem is and it better not be Cole."I pull away and blink away my tears, turning to quickly clean them as I walk back to the kitchen to grab a jar of cookies and yogurt, no longer feeling the need to eat food. I shouldn't have bothered cooking in the first place. "No... I mean yes, it's Cole, but kind of a different situation." I chuckle but it did a poor job at making me look better."I would hate to h

I peeped from the staircase at the crowd, disappointed at the unfamiliar faces and no one to occupy time with. I make my way downstairs in my spaghetti strap backless high-slit dress. I had decided on something simple and I was more than comfortable with it. I make my way down the stairs to the other end of the room to sit on the chair lingering around the corner. I tapped my fingers on my elbows, humming to nothing as I sent fake smiles at everyone who looked my way. I was bored and wished I had invited Nellie the moment I knew about the party.I took the last drink from the tray as the waiter walked past. I watched the party in slow sips looking here and there to catch sight of my father. At least I'll be a bit occupied with his introductions which never cease to end.Speaking of the devil, I see him make his way through the crowd. His face suddenly elated at the sight of me like he'd been wondering about my whereabouts. "There you are. I want to introduce you to someone." He take

LENOX POVI fold the white card into a neat square and place it at the top center of the bouquet. I then look up at the slim tall man standing before my desk, waiting to do his job. "Deliver it to the location I sent to you. Don't say a word about me. Just deliver it and leave.""Yes, sir.""Good. You'll have more deliveries to take care of." Yes, a lot more in the future because I had a lot of plans for her. I had a lot of plans for the woman who had gotten me obsessed with just the sight of her pictures. She saw me as a stranger but I knew her as my nephew's ex.I was shocked to see her at the club that night and couldn't puzzle out why she was in Canada. I left it to be her business but I couldn't just leave while I knew she was there, right before me and asking to be fucked. I watched in wonderment at her straightforwardness towards me. She said she wasn't drunk. It was partly a lie and the truth. She must be frequent with such habit to not be drunken by the harsh mix, I presum
