Chapter 22 I stand still, dazed by the memories that just pieced themselves together in my head. It was as if a switch had been turned on in my head. Recalling everything that happened last night, from when Kira took me to the club to how I’m left to take care of myself just because she wants to have a threesome with the male strippers in the club. The memories of how Jake tried to hit on me and the angry expression on his face when I brushed him off weren't lost on me. None of that disturbs me as much as the image of Aziz saving me from Jake's clutch, taking me to his car, asking for my address and my response to that. I still can't recover from the fact that I made the first move. I couldn’t believe I acted like a horny bitch in front of the man that told me he wanted me to be his lover, with no strings attached. ‘Shoot me,’ I slid to the ground, my hands covering my face as I tried to get the images out of my head. The way his hand glided over her clit, his tongue swirling ov

Chapter 24 (AUTHOR'S POV) Kira pulls herself up from the floor, she schooled her features and made her way down the stairs. ‘Are you leaving already?’ Lexi's mother “Daphne” asked, coming into the house just in time to see Kira rushing down the stairs. ‘Yes,’ Kira answered in a monotone. ‘Is everything alright?’ Daphne stared into her face, feeling something is off. ‘Everything is fine, I just got a call and I need to leave right now,’ Kira lied. ‘Oh! That is fine then, I almost thought you fought with your friend,' Daphne breathed out in relief. ‘We did and she chased me out without listening to me,' again, Kira lied. ‘Goodness! Why is that? Why did you fight in the first place?’ ‘She is angry with me because I didn't bring her back home after getting drunk.’ ‘I was surprised as well when that man brought her home drunk, she has never done that before,' Daphne frowned, her daughter is not the type to drink alcohol, not to talk of getting drunk. ‘I know, and I warned her no

Chapter 26 ---------- THE CORNELL’S HOUSE 7:56 A. M. ---------- ‘Mom, you have to come out of your room if you want to catch your flight,’ I yelled for the umpteenth time in the past two hours. ‘I will be down in five minutes,” she yelled back causing me to roll my eyes. That is what you have been saying for the past two hours, you need to get out of that room now,’ I reminded her. Each time I remind her she would be late for her flight if she doesn’t get out of her room so I can drive her to the airport, she replies by asking for five more minutes. I have an appointment by nine o’clock and if you don’t come out in time, I would have to leave you to find your way to the airport then,’ I told her firmly. These days, you have done nothing but threaten me at every chance you get,’ Mom says from the top of the stairs, dragging her bags behind her as she makes her way toward me. If you had delayed one more minute, I would have walked out of this house and driven myself in the opp

Chapter 28 ---------- LEXI ---------- 'Kiss me,' I heard Aziz say as I pulled his shirt over his head. The desires swirling in those green eyes almost knock me off. He wasn't lying when he said he wanted me and would do everything to have me in his arms. Staring at him and watching his eyes dilate with the force of his desire almost got me to say yes to his proposal and let the passion consume both of us. ‘Kiss me,’ he repeated, and I stood on my toe to press my lip against his, kissing him slowly. His strong muscular arm wraps around my waist and with a simple tug, I am squished against his chest. He took over and things heated up quickly, his deft fingers worked the button of my shirt and pulled it off of me, and my bra soon followed, joining the mess on the floor. I suck in air when his warm mouth circled my nipple, sucking and licking both of them one at a time. Aziz put the icing on the cake by pressing his bulge against my stomach. My core heats another notch and I find

Chapter 30 I watched as Aziz stared at me like he didn't just hear what I said, he didn't react and it made me nervous. If not for the occasional rise and fall of his chest, I would have believed he had stopped breathing. This wasn't the reaction I expected from him at all. ‘Did you hear what I just said?’ I asked to be sure. I was expecting him to frown, flip out or even get angry at the fact that I was bringing up the topic of marriage when I know quite well that he doesn't do relationships or marriage. ‘Of course, I heard you loud and clear, Lexi. I just don't see how that is a problem,’ he picked up his wine glass and lifted it to his lip. ‘If your exes saw your request as a problem, then it probably means their feelings aren't real and they only got with you because all they want from you is the sex they'd get.’ Isn't that what he wants too? I don't see how he is any different from them when he clearly asked me to be his mistress the first day we met. 'Do you want to get ma
