Sofie’s POV When Roman grabbed me by my jaw and captured my lips with his in a sensually ferocious manner, I was so astounded that I froze and just let him maul my lips.He tasted of grapes tinged with alcohol, like the wine we had just shared.The memory of the thong incident came crashing down on me with full force but I threw the thought aside to allow myself enjoy the moment.I could always blame it on the alcohol.I grabbed either sides of his face as our tongues danced together in an erotic rhythm, drawing out choked moans from me as his hands crept behind me to pull my sundress up, and squeeze my ass cheeks which elicited a lewd whimper from me.He pulled back and I thought he'd regained his logical sense of reasoning as he stared at me, "Do you want to continue this here?" He whispered, stroking my exposed thigh."L-Let's see how it goes." I whispered before hurriedly pulling him into a passionate kiss.Sliding a hand into his pants made me gasp with immense desire, and I cou

Sofie’s POV The sound of something vibrating close to me seeped into my ears, forcing me up from the fluffy comfort of the bed.I groaned, exasperated as I blindly reached for whatever it was. When I couldn't reach it, I winked an eye open only to discover that it was my phone and it was vibrating with an incoming call from an unknown international number.Scrubbing the remnants of sleep off my face, I retrieved the device from the nightstand and answered the call before placing it against my ear, "Who is this, and why are you calling so early in the morning?" I yawned as I roamed my eyes around the walls of the room in search of a wall clock."Hey, babe. How have you been? It's Amy and I'm sorry for calling so early. It's late afternoon over here." The familiar voice of my best friend wafted into my ears, and I gasped as relief coursed through me."Amy? Finally, you called! I was starting to think something bad had happened to you. I'm so relieved to hear your voice." I rambled out

Sofie’s POV I heaved a sigh of satisfaction as I molded myself further into Roman's broad, muscular chest and he wrapped his arms tighter around me.It'd be nice if I could live forever like this; going to sleep and waking up wrapped in the strong expanse of Roman's chest.But I knew it could never happen. I could only continue to wish for it.Roman had hinted on numerous occasions that he was clearly into me for sex and sex alone, but my stupid delusional mind just wouldn't accept that fact.My more stupid heart just had to betray me by falling head over heels for him.Thinking about the fact that in about two months, I wouldn't have the privilege to wake up beside Roman or have amazing, toe-curling sex with him made me miserable but I wasn't going to make a fool of myself more than I had already done by confessing my love to him.He'd probably laugh at me and null the contract and I couldn't have that.I wanted to be with him for as long as I could even if it hurt me to secretly lo

Sofie’s POV I walked into the house, with a tired sigh escaping my lips as I nodded a greeting to Antonio and the maids.I had gone out to put some things related to the continuation of my studies in place, but I still hadn't told Roman about my educational plans yet because I was slightly scared that he'd be against it.Although, something within me knew Roman wasn’t like that.Glancing at the time on my phone screen, I discovered that it was quite late in the evening and I'd been out for a longer period than I expected.Roman should have been back from the company by now because he usually arrived home by exactly some minutes to six in the evening, and currently, the time was ten minutes to seven.He had also not sent me a message to inform me that he'd come home late from work that day.Well, it wasn't like I had the right to know of his whereabouts anyway, I was just a pawn in his game of pretense.A pawn who he knew would always be at his beck, and call whenever he needed a hole

Sofie’s POV Blinding rays of sunlight diffracted through the curtain blinds, and seeped into my tightly shut eyes, yanking me out of a light sleep.Today was d-day, and I felt extremely giddy at the thought of going back to college.No, even giddy was an understatement.I felt elated, ecstatic, joyful, and so merry that I could fly with happiness.I had missed school so much. I had missed socializing with people of my age.But underneath the jubilant wave of excitement swirling within me, there was a thin glimmer of anxiety tinged with trepidation.It had been two years since I last went to school, and I couldn't help but fear that I may seem dull to my course mates.As if to shake off the fearful thoughts of low self esteem issues away from my mind, the alarm on the nightstand dinged.With a deep sigh, I turned it off and darted a wistful stare at Roman's side of the bed.Earlier today, I had sensed him leaving for work, and something inside me wished he was here to encourage me and
