GRACE“Mr. Powers...” That skin contact made me feel hotter. The closeness of his chest made me want to lean into him. As I debated giving in to my desires, I noticed his sight falling on my lips. My body became excited with just that.But that excitement quickly died when the images of him banging his ex rushed into my mind.That made me quickly unlace my fingers from his. I composed myself and after seconds passed, I asked, “How are you feeling now, sir?”Mr. Powers quietly removed his fingers and the fraction of his weight that was on my back disappeared.I listened as he moved until he was sitting beside me.To avoid his arm brushing mine, I shifted a bit and as I did that, I saw from the corner of my eyes, how he glanced at me.But he didn’t make a comment. Instead, he looked forward and asked, “What do you mean by your question?”“Well,” I moistened my lower lip, “you caught your girlfriend in bed with another man. And you looked very tired when you came in earlier.”“We weren’t

DOMINIC My phone’s ringtone triggered me out of my shallow sleep. As my eyes furiously blinked until they were open, I failed to reason why I was sprawled on the couch until I sat up. Grace was yet to back from wherever she headed after walking out with a soul draped in sorrow. I was about to drown in my worries when the device in my hand cried persistently and begged to be attended to. With haste, I adjusted my phone and hoped that she was the one calling. A look at the screen and it turned out that it wasn’t her. But I picked up the call anyway. “Hello?” ‘Mr. Powers?’ “Yes?” I could hear loud music in the background. ‘This is the clubhouse in Hotel Pierre. There is a lady here who is claiming that she knows you.’ Hoping that it wasn’t Regina, I asked, “Who is this lady?” ‘She calls herself Grace. And Rose. Your name has been on her lips for a while, sir. Right now, she is super drunk.’ Relieved that Miss Sands was not in any deep, unwanted trouble, I thanked the guy tha

GRACE After I ensured that Mr. Powers' gift was in my hands, I took another second to adjust the strap of my dress. I didn't know I would have to elaborately dress up for Mr. Powers' birthday until he breezily mentioned it. Apparently, the man was going all out with his celebration. And the venue was one of the party halls in the hotel and according to Ruby who called me to pay attention to an article about her father's birthday, it was going to be a huge party. Dignitaries will be gracing the event, thus, I can't afford to dress shabbily. Once I breathed and dragged myself out of my thoughts, I reached for the ends of my hair. They were made into nice curls and they sat well on my shoulders. I liked the way my hair felt as I adjusted its ends so I rushed to the bathroom and admired myself in the full mirror. As I smiled at my image and tilted and twirled, my attention fell on my gown. The blueish material had a silky feel to it and it was handpicked by Sam when we went on an i

GRACEMy back hurriedly peeled off the wall and eagerness ran through my mind as the doctor and Mr. Powers exited Ruby’s room.They were yet to fill me in on what was going on. Even as they walked out, they ignored me and approached the stairs. Once all that was left of their presence was their scents, I entered Ruby’s room.While sexual desire was devouring my system earlier, Ruby had fallen on her ankle that got hurt. She tried to get up, but couldn’t and the pain became worse.As I stared at Ruby’s peaceful face, I wondered if her heart condition had a connection with her inability to get up. I crouched to push away a strand of hair in her face, and noticed that she did not have her favourite teddy in her arms, so I went to her wardrobe to get it. Once the bear was tucked beside her, I adjusted the blanket.With a soft smile on my lips, I walked out of the room. There was a strong need to find Mr. Powers and get information on what happened to Ruby.As I gently closed Ruby’s door,

GRACE Nestled into my sheets, naked underneath, I stared at the ceiling and waited for the feeling of regret to rush in. A minute passed, five minutes, nothing came. I felt no different. Well, that is if you ignore the tingling in my body. For some strange reason, I wanted to feel like I was being a betrayer, but then, I wasn’t. So, no such feeling could make its way into my conscience. Instead, I instantly felt nervous. I had just allowed my gorgeous employer to do things to me. Things that I enjoyed, no doubt. In fact, it seemed like it was all about me last night and I was taken to places I would have never thought I would reach sexually just with the little that happened. But what will happen now? Will anything more happen? If something more happens, what will it mean? That we are intimate? What if he acts like nothing happened? My mind frowned at the last question. More questions rushed in my mind and I sighed deeply. I guess there is only one way to find out. I am goi
