All Chapters of Bargain: An Object of Desire : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Yvette's POVI woke up feeling a slight bang in my head from the intense fatigue and eye strain from yesterday. Speaking of today, I was already feeling too weak and lazy to get out of bed until Mira came knocking."Are you alright? It's daybreak already."I grumbled while rolling on the bed."You must have really stressed out yesterday."'You have no idea,' I replied in my mind, still mustering enough strength to at least keep my eyes open without closing them."It's today, remember? Knox is almost done and you're yet to get out of bed."Screw me…I pulled myself off the bed and rushed to the bathroom to splash cold water on my face. I remained still, hands over the sink for support and eyes glued to my reflection. Details of the plan we made last night slowly resurfaced and they became my cue to drag my ass through the fatigue.Who knows, I might end up depending terribly on caffeine to stay alert today."Hello?" Mira knocked, "Just making sure you're still awake, are you?""Yes, I

Yvette's POVSarah left immediately, making me quicken my pace towards Knox who was casually leaning against the car."Did you—" I stopped myself midway the moment I noticed how loud my voice was.He arched his brow."Did you—" again, I stopped abruptly after meeting Dave's gaze.I sighed, tucked some strands of hair behind my ears then shook my head."Did something happen?"I looked over his shoulder to see Dave staring at me like he didn't know how uncomfortable those games made me feel. Regardless, it didn't matter how much I could bear his gaze as long as I emptied my heart's content to Knox, what mattered was that Knox had kept this part of the plan to just us and I wanted to keep that pride from being ahead of everyone including Dave.Well, that was if he didn't assume that being aware of something automatically meant Dave knowing it too, so he never felt the need to include him in the count. The thought stirred my heart a bit, but I tried not to let it show."It's nothing," I l

Yvette's POVAfter that day went with those people witnessing that event, a part of me braced myself for the end of my time here. Not that they had called a meeting, but the tension in the air, the glares… not even Yolanda was as playful and welcoming as she used to be.Like the object in the game, everyone was starting to look at me like the bad egg corrupting Knox.How clueless…I turned off the tap and relaxed further into the tub. Knox only became clingier after that day and part of me wondered if he was still acting or if he was starting to see me… perhaps pick interest in me.Speaking of which, he had only told me that told me to take two days off and that the anniversary which was today would be in the form of a dinner night. He hadn't said what time exactly and when he wanted us to leave.With that in mind, I tried not to get lost in my head, but intentionally prepare for tonight. Mira had come to help like always and this time, I wished I could tell her everything.I stepped

Yvette's POVWith how precise his movements were, I doubted I could pull through with my plan, so I did something naughty and unexpected— switching roles at the peak, hoping he wouldn't see it coming and trip.He caught me though, holding my bare thigh as he twirled us with my other leg above the ground.I noticed him frown at the too much skin exposure so I took it as an advantage. He kept pulling my dress while I kept deliberately making sure it went up. Surely he was going to lose focus and trip.He finally did but caught himself before hitting the ground.I smirked."One," I hummed, making him curse under his breath.We got into position, switching roles and styles at the peak of the music where it was usually impossible to keep up. Somehow he had understood my plan which made it unbearable for me to keep up.I used the small pause to recalibrate, except when the music began again, he wasn't responding."Knox?" I asked, following his gaze to the direction of the stage where the in

Yvette's POVHe dropped his face to my lips, deeply inhaling my scent. I ran my fingers from the nape of his neck till they were buried somewhere in his hair. I pulled him close into me, wrapping my legs around his waist."You should take it out on me," I breathed, rubbing my waist against his shaft. "It just has to be you and no one else then you can take it out on me.""Your body," he whispered, lifting my chin."Take it," I finished his sentence for him, reaching for his lips with mine shamelessly.He tasted like alcohol and mint. And his sloppy movements? They were gone the instant his fingers found my panties.He sighed as he reached for them, stopping too soon to deepen the kiss until we were out of breath. He pulled away so we could catch our breath except, a part of me almost cursed him for stopping."Leave," he said, though no longer in a serious tone. If anything, he sounded like he was testing my limits on purpose.I smirked in victory. The fire in his eyes burned with rage
