A Rival’s Overconfidence

~RYAN~ “We are here Sir”, Todd’s voice cut through the haze. I looked up blinking as our surroundings registered. I hadn’t even noticed the car had come to a stop. I was too distracted by thoughts of the little vixen to think of anything else. “Give me a minute”, I commanded. “Alright sir”, Todd replied keeping his eyes forward. My pulse was still hammering but I forced it to settle. I took a deep breath and reined myself in. I cleared my head, shoving thoughts of Mila down and replacing them with what mattered right now. The deal. It was mine. After I secured it, I would celebrate with Mila. I hoped she was having a great time. I’d made sure everything she could possibly need was available before I left for work. When I returned, I was going to devour that sexy body again and again if she let me. Honestly, I didn’t mind begging for it. I glanced toward the window. The Legacy Gems stood tall, a massive building of glass and polished stone. It was a beautiful building, one

Princess Treatment?

~MILA~ I woke up feeling sore all over, especially between my legs. I squinted, struggling to adjust to the bright light that filled the room. The bed was empty. I was alone. I sighed in relief, at least I could take the walk of shame without anyone watching. Facing Ryan this morning wasn’t something I was prepared for. The last thing I wanted was for him to look at me with disgust. I’d rather cherish the memories of last night and take it with me. A smile tugged at my lips as the memories of last night rushed back. It still felt unreal that I could be desired by such a man. I scrambled out of the bed, fumbling to pull my clothes back on. I needed to leave as fast as possible. Suddenly I remembered. This was a suite. That meant he might be in the living room. Oh no.. How did I not remember this? I guess I’ll have to face him. I braced myself and drew in a sharp steadying breath. I schooled my features, pulling on a mask of indifference. I opened the door expecting to see h

The Presentation

~ RYAN~ “Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of the board and our distinguished panel of judges, welcome. It is a pleasure to have you all here this evening”, a tall elegant woman in a skirt suit spoke confidently on stage. Four judges and the five members of the board of the Legacy Gems Gallery sat at a massive mahogany table in the front row. “Our annual auction is approaching, and this year, we have decided to showcase an exclusive collection of new high-end jewelry. That is the reason you have been invited here tonight”. “Thank you for honoring the invitation”. “To be in this room is to be among the best in the industry. You are all incredibly talented and it is a pleasure to have such expertise in one room”. The room erupted in a round of applause. “The last time we auctioned new jewelry pieces, we featured three jewelers.” She paused, her gaze sweeping across the room before locking on the front row. We featured Esmeralda owned by Mr. Ryan Anderson, Sovereign Carlos o

A Sore Loser

~RYAN~ “After careful examination and deliberation, the jeweler selected for this partnership is…Ryan Anderson.” The room broke into murmurs before erupting in applause. I didn’t rush. I turned slowly, locking eyes with Carlos. I offered him a smirk, the kind a winner gives a loser. Standing up, I adjusted my suit jacket and walked towards the stage with a smile. “Congratulations Mr. Anderson”, the presenter said smiling as she offered a professional handshake. “Thank you”, I replied returning the gesture. Turning to face the crowd, I spoke confidently, “Thank you to the esteemed board members and the panel of judges of Legacy Gem Gallery for choosing me for this project. It is a rare privilege and I am grateful.” “I promise to do my very best in this project.” “Thank you once again.” I offered a curt, graceful bow to the board members and the panel of judges, then made my way back to my seat as the audience applauded. I didn’t even spare Carlos a second glance. The prese

Just A Note

~RYAN~ “What do you want?”, he asked, his jaw ticking. “What do I want? Hmmm…a very nice question” “You catch on really fast”, I grinned, entertained by the whole conversation. “Good boy”, I added, smiling in satisfaction as his eyes burned with a rage he desperately struggled to suppress. “I’ll let you know Carlos”, I replied turning and walking away. His entourage parted for my men and me as we approached. They knew what I was capable of. I made my way to the snack bar, ordering a variety of pastries packaged to go, before moving to the buffet section to request two meals packed for takeout. I wanted to bring them to Mila. I couldn’t wait to see her. Gary took the bags from the waiters and we exited the building. When we reached my car, Todd hopped into the driver’s seat and started the engine. Gary held the door open for me as I got in, then slid into the front passenger seat. My phone rang, my mother’s name lighting up the screen instantly bringing a smile to my face.

My Safe Space

~MILA~ Three Months later. The shrill ring of my alarm clock startled me from my sleep. I turned it off, climbed out of bed, and walked sleepily to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth and splashing water on my face, I tidied up my home. It was a one-bedroom flat, pristine and quiet, just how I liked it. The landlord was a nice man in his fifties. I had designed the space to my personal taste. It had become my safe space, and I loved it. Soft morning sunlight bathed my living room, filtering through white sheer curtains. My beige modular sofa filled a corner of the living room. I wanted a minimalist “soft girl” aesthetic, so I chose neutral colors. Brown and white throw pillows of various cute shapes lay on my sofa in a neat design. A glass coffee table, balanced on stone- like bases, sat atop a fluffy beige rug and was topped with a vase of magenta blooms. The walls of the living room were painted beige, and in the corner stood a large white vase containing a blooming red

Sexy, Confident And Ready For Work

~RYAN~ I blushed, trying to force the memory out of my head. I had thought and dreamt about Ryan for months, replaying that night over and over again. He had made me experience pleasure I never thought possible, and he had been so sweet to me. I couldn’t get him out of my mind. I had looked him up online after that day and was shocked to discover he was the richest man in New York. Ryan Anderson, billionaire, hot, sexy, and dangerous. Just seeing his picture on Forbes had left my pussy soaked. I had quickly closed the browser and deleted my search history before I went to find him or started stalking and obsessing over his photos. I had reminded myself of my failed marriage and how fickle and deceitful men were. Cooper had been sweet at first before turning into a monster. Why would a man like Ryan Anderson want anything serious with me or even be committed to me? That had been enough to snap me back to my senses and keep me in check these months even though my mind and body

A Tyrant

~MILA~ We were instructed to arrive early and dress neatly. She had also warned us to dress decently with no makeup. Normally, she emphasized minimal makeup, but this time she repeatedly warned us not to wear any at all, claiming we weren’t the billionaire’s type. In her exact words, “Don’t bother whoring your cheap bodies to him. We don’t want to offend and disgust him” I took one look at myself in the mirror and picked up my tote bag. Switching off my electronics and shutting the windows, I headed out the door to meet Olivia. I wasn’t looking forward to today and I knew Olivia felt the same way. When I arrived at the stop, Olivia was already waiting. I smiled as I approached her; she hadn’t spotted me yet. My friend was so beautiful. Her blonde hair was pulled into a tight ponytail just like mine, Miss Valerie’s orders. Olivia was what you would call slim-thick, curvy in all the right places. Her alabaster skin was flawless and her blue eyes were captivating. Her personality wa

A Special Guest

~MILA~ She scrutinized me with a frown on her face. “Did you come here to seduce our guest”, Miss Valerie hissed. “No ma’am, not at all”, I responded. I made sure my clothes weren’t tight because I knew my body type. She narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over my body with contempt. “What, then, is the meaning of this”, Miss Valerie demanded condescendingly, motioning furiously with her hands from my head to my toes. “I’m big in some areas so it is difficult to conceal my shape”, I replied in a very polite tone. Olivia let out a sharp, involuntary giggle instantly muffling it with a fake cough to mask her amusement. I wanted to burst into laughter but I managed to hold it in. “You!!”, she shouted, pointing at Olivia. “You will wash all the toilets of the other suites, excluding the suite our guest will be occupying.” Damn, that was a lot of toilets. My girl was in for a very long day. I felt a sharp pang of pity for her. I would give her a soothing foot massage after wo

An Unexpected meeting

~MILA~ The bed was clearly perfectly made. “What is this? Didn't I ask you to redress this bed?” At this point damn the consequences. I’ll gladly start job hunting tomorrow. “I did exactly as you asked ma’am”, I replied in the sweetest most polite voice I could muster. “This??” “What rubbish!” “Is this how to lay a bed?” “This is how I know how to dress a bed ma’am, you could teach me if my performance is lacking. I’m happy to learn," I replied politely. “What did you just say?” “I said you could dress the bed while I watch if my performance is lacking; this is the best I can do”, I replied firmly. “How dare you!!” “Are you…..” Before she could explode, there was a knock on the door and a colleague poked his head in. “The receptionist just called to say that the guest has arrived.” “Line up and wait for me," Miss Valerie ordered him rudely. She turned and eyed me maliciously, making sure her silent message was crystal clear. I understood. This wasn’t over yet. She mo
