A grin spread on my lips when the woman, whose name I have already forgotten, sat on my lap with an alluring smile on her lips. I met her a while ago at my favorite club. She flirted with me, giving me obvious hints that she wanted to fuck, and that’s how we ended up here in my apartment—in my bedroom, to be exact.With a playful touch, she touched my lips with her index finger and then let it move down my neck, chest, stomach, and even farther till I felt her hold my manhood, which was still hidden by my pants.I couldn't help but groan as she started caressing my groin while she slowly moved her face closer to my neck. I closed my eyes, my palms landing on her waist as she licked my neck and bit it. I rested my back on the soft mattress while feeling her body on top of me."Fuck!" I groaned as she started to grind her hips on my groin.Her kisses went down. From my neck, her lips went to my bare chest until they went lower. She licked my midsection while her hands were busy buckling

I surveyed the entire house. Metal roofs, large porch areas, raised floors, and conventional central hallways from the anterior to the rear portion of the house. The whole house was even surrounded with high and thick walls that any thief or evildoer would have a hard time entering. The security at the gate was also tight to ensure that no one suspicious would enter. Whoever it was that designed this house, they definitely don't want to take risks. And after surveying the house, I noticed that there weren't many house workers in the Floros' home except for the cook, the driver, and the two housekeepers.Speaking of the housekeepers, I caught one of them staring at me when I passed by the living room earlier, and she's definitely a beauty. She was staring at me with full admiration and desire, almost making me want to make a move on her. Just almost. Because one of the rules that I set up for myself was to never ever hook up with a client or with someone that is connected to the client.

"Yeah. You like that, hmm?"My forehead furrowed and my eyes narrowed as one of my ears was pressed against Layland's bedroom door.I was a bit taken aback when I heard Layland giggle.Yes, the brat was giggling. Like a damn high school girl. And it was fucking pissing me off.I don't mean the giggle that's pissing me off. What's pissing me off is his reason for giggling, but more like because of who's making him giggle.That fucking Zach.I still can't believe he kissed Layland to either taunt me or rile me up. And I also can't believe that Layland just let him be, even kissing him back as if he doesn't give a shit about my presence, as if I did not even exist.What even is Layland? And Zach? Are they both gay? Bisexual? Pansexual? And just what is their relationship? Are they boyfriends?Ah, fuck! Why do I have to think about their relationship status? The only thing I should be thinking about was how to get Zach out of the Floros' residence because that's my damn job, not having su

"Well, the rules are actually—""Don't bother. I already had it all memorized," Layland said, cutting me off."I was right again."He raised one of his eyebrows once again. "That I am well aware of the rules?"I hummed while nodding. "And that you were purposely not following it, which made it even clearer to me how much of a brat you can be.""If living my life the way I want to, being honest with myself, and not living with a pretense is being a brat, then so be it," Layland retorted in a firm voice and steady gaze. "I will be a brat as long as it means I will have my freedom."I did not speak right away after that. I just stared at him, amazed at the firmness and the courage that could be clearly seen in his eyes.I can tell that no matter what I say or do, nothing can convince him to follow the rules of his parents. It was obvious that Layland will stand on his ground and will never be swayed by my words.Truth be told, seeing him standing firm on what he believes in was astounding

"Where the fuck have you been?"That question was what immediately greeted me as soon as I entered the house.I looked at my wristwatch. It was already past eleven o'clock."Why are you still awake?" I asked Gunner as I headed for the kitchen, not even bothering to answer his question.I put my bag down on the table and grabbed a glass and the cold pitcher from the fridge. I was pouring water into the glass when I felt Gunner's presence behind me. I also felt his piercing gaze on me, making me feel that he was already on the verge of killing me and cutting me into pieces.I didn't care, though. Well, I might have been a little nervous about how he would react after realizing that he was waiting for nothing, as I had already escaped with Zach and gone to the bar that we frequent, but after conditioning my mind that everything's going to be fine because, as much as Gunner annoys the shit out of me, he was very serious with his job, which means he won't do anything that would ruin his ca
