Chapter 041|Being with him felt so extra"What is wrong with you?" She mumbled not able to keep it in any longer, directing a glare at him. "I am fine just soaking in the moment. Getting used to the energy in here and all that." She would have been convinced a little if he had stared at her just once while he gave her such a dry boring reply. "Was this energy also in the car when we were coming here? Because I didn't see a group of politicians and their caked up wives who try to hide the emptiness and bitterness they feel with layers and layers of foundation." He glanced at her for a while. "I don't want to talk about it." There was quietness in his firm sharp tone as he stared straight ahead while she took a glass of champagne from one of the passing waiters. "Is this it? Is this the stuff politicians do when they just get an arm candy to accompany them and make them look good, glorifying their side? Is that why I am here?" He didn't look at her. "I think I have been d

Chapter 043|A mastery of seductionShe gasped again, the hot wet slide of his tongue insanely delicious, and then she was humming in anticipation as his hands expertly worked on her gown and in seconds the satin was pooling on her leg. "Jesus, Jasmine." He trembled, his whisper husky, as his hungry gaze took in her matching pink lingerie underneath. Dark clashed against dark, as their gaze met even in the darkness of the room, save for the illumination the city's lamplight and automobiles' headlamp offered. She stepped out of her gown, ditching them completely as he made her take a step forward, so her body was at a perfect angle to be illuminated by the light, flitting inside the room. "Beautiful, mind-blowing, Gorgeous." He chanted, like a fleeting mantra, his raspy breath making her core clench again and again and as his dark hooded eyes travelled down the length of her baby pink lingerie-clad body, she could swear she heard him suck in a breath. His sharp exhale confirmed

Chapter 045|Almost priceless"You see the mirror over there? It shows how the butterfly sees himself as he inches far and far away from his evil stepmother," she continued with a dramatic flair that made Taiwo purse his lips as he bit back a grin knowing that even though he had never had any eyes for art at all, he was very sure the western popular artist who had taken his time outlining this never for a second thought anybody will look at his artwork and come up with such an absurd explanation. Well to be fair, he has not met Jasmine. He thought with a grin. "Poor little thing." She shook her head, "It even looks hungry but everyone will probably think he craved freedom more, don't you see?" He smiled at her words, trying so hard not to go all tearful rumbling chest, knees on the floor, while the house echoed with his laughter at her absurd thoughts. "Anything you say, Jasmine, Anything." She turned to look at him, his arms still around her though now loosed... The dimples

Chapter 047|A painful reminder of what wasShe shrugged. "I have only 20 questions to ask, I have to study you intently and try to modify all the intriguing things about you that make me confused into 20 questions..." "You can always ask me what you want to know as normal people do?" His brow was raised in a gesture Jasmine found insanely attractive. "Hey boo, not normal." "Like I don't know that, weirdo." "Favorite colour?" She asked, lips pursed and he threw his head back, a delightful sound of laughter that was turning to Jasmine's favourite music escaping from his full lips. "So much for being creative huh?" "Caramel." She was surprised at his answer since she was expecting something so cliche like red, white or going by how much he has the colour on, black. "Can I ask why?" "My Dad..." Maybe It was the way she was curious to know something as unimportant as his favourite colour, how she waited on him like his next words were going to tell her where

Chapter 049|She is in love with the bastard"Only flame." She retorted drily, not able to resist reminding them she was the only woman Taiwo had not mind going public with. Reminding them she had results, that she was steps closer to Killing Taiwo than any other person they could find. She was the best woman for the job. She had years and years of experience, her pain and emotional scars making up for what she lacked in age and most importantly she had Taiwo's trust. Their sex life has been pretty good just like in the beginning, but it was nothing like it was in the beginning. There was more trust, more meaning to his gaze than just lust and she will be damned if she dares fool herself with the stupid pretence that she didn't feel an ounce of tender emotions for him too. She straightened her posture and raised her head so she was staring right back at them. Despite how much her pants pooled when he assaulted her nipple, how much she moans when he goes down on her, eating her
