All Chapters of Smoke and Mirrors: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 32Elis was right in front of them, standing by the elevator frame, a handbag resting on her shoulder, her clothes a bit ruffled though they were neatly tucked probably from their session earlier, and a surprised expression on her face. "Hey, ba..." she cut off what she was about to say when her eye immediately spotted Carylle and realized he wasn't alone. "Good evening, boss," she proceeded to greet with her lips curling thin, curtly nodding. Adler could understand why she did. They both agreed to hide their tumultuously fiery relationship from the public. To him, it felt like it was some sort of affair, though it really was an affair as he was already engaged even before they met. "Good evening," he stiffly greeted back with a nod. His heart almost

Chapter 34 "Oh..." he trailed off when he realized it. He always remembered his mother would scold him if he didn't take proper meals. Now that he thought of it, his mother and Carylle often communicated like she was the former's daughter. Sometimes, he'd think if he was really his mother's son. If they often talked, surely his mother would catch wind that he wasn't eating his meals properly. Thinking of it made him hear his mother's voice rebuking him nonstop, and he couldn't bear an earful. Also, he needed a robust body and calories to burn for energy if he wanted to pull an all-nighter and remain sane the next day. "What do you recommend then?" he asked. "Mhm, let's see..." she turned to face the cashier, putting her index finger on her bottom, tapping it lightly as she scanned the entire menu. "I think we should

Chapter 36 "No problem, I'm happy to share thoughts deeper than trivial talks." Carylle suddenly said, lifting her cup of decaf for a sip. "I'm enjoying this kind of conversation as well." It was true. Adler never expected he would be having a conversation with her that would hit a level so deep that it went to the point he could reflect and ponder on her opinion. He thought that they would be having trivial conversations for some time, but him opening up brought a door for them to become intimately close, at its slightest, though. Moreover, it proved one of the things people told him before: it would feel good if you open up to strangers because they didn't know you. He s

Chapter 38   "I'm okay. Thanks for worrying." "Are you sure?" Carylle asked, her eyes looking at him as if she was asking for reassurance.  Adler nodded in response, giving her the reassurance she needed. "Yeah, I'm sure." He figured nowadays that she was such a worrywart to every organism in this world, whether it was alive or dead. Once, she stepped on a pillow while cleaning up. He saw her anxiously brushing it off before putting it back in place. He found her adorable checking on the pillow if it still had blemishes left. She also nudged him slightly just last night as well, and she immediately reacted, asking him if he was all right, and just like right now, she asked for reassurance. It took him a

Chapter 40It was Elis, and she was rubbing her feet on his hard groin!Adler prevented himself from groaning loudly in front of everyone. It was obvious that the woman was doing her crazy lust-driven antics again. She tended to do this whenever they were together in meetings and she was becoming sleepy or bored. She started it off first by mildly running her hand across his, and he would hold her hand in response. It would then end up with them twisting and playing on each other's fingertips. It felt fun, and it woke him up from sleeping on the meeting like how it did with her. The small electrifying sensations running across their fingers felt pleasant. Days went by that time and meetings became more frequent and holding hands and playing fingers gradually became slides on the inner legs and caresses on each other's privates but it d
