A strong arm wrapped around my waist tightly,cradling me closer to the mascular chest. Hot breathe lingered on my neck,the next one being warm than the last. I creased my eyebrows in confusion, blinking countless times to get rid of the blurry vision.I could tell I was not in my room, on my bed because of the White painting on the wall and the smell of a strong cologne. The bed felt oddly comfortable compared to what I sleep on at home. Stiffly, I turned my head to look at who was sleeping beside me and I almost screamed but I covered my mouth with my hand just in time. My eyes went wide and my body tensed.A masculine figure lay beside me, his jet-black hair was messy and he looked so peaceful while asleep.From my angle,I glanced around the room. From the way things were arranged ,it is a hotel. A very expensive one at that because ain't no way a bed like this exists in a hotel around my hood.Clothes were scattered everywhere on the floor. And even though it's only his and mine,it seemed like a bale was opened in here.I gance at him once again and wonder, how could he sleep so peacefully when everything was a mess?Slowly, I got out of bed,very cautiously because I did not want to wake him up. Also,because I was very conscious about my naked self. My body felt sore but that was least of my problem at the moment. I have to find my way home because I'm pretty sure that my mother is so worried about me. After she confirms my safety,I'm certain she was going to kill me. So much for being a grown up woman and living with a religious mom.I reached for the dress that was thrown across the room and tugged it on in a hurry. Funny how I had taken time to pick it out and how he took a second to get it off me. But it's fair since he's the one who bought it.I looked for my underwear but it was nowhere to be seen, since I didn't have time to waste,I picked my handbag and clutched my heels in my hands.I turned once again to have a last sight. The not so stranger on the bed stirred in sleep and I froze in place.Thankfully, he didn't wake up. I took the opportunity to walk at the door slowly to make sure that I don't wake him up.But before I twisted the metallic doorknob. I turned my head to look at the man one last time.He was tangled in sheets,his chest rose and fell rythmically. His lips were pursed making my mind drift off to a few hours back when I was beneath him.When he was inside of me, thrusting slowly and increasing his pace. Giving and taking at the same time. He twisted me in positions I did not know was possible for the human body.And his lips…those hot and…damn,how he sucked and nibbled. The kiss itself was hot enough to make my panties wet. Yes,it did leave some wetness on the garment and his wicked self took pleasure in it. He sunk his fingers deep inside me till he made sure I begged for him to be inside of me.He promised to give me all that I asked for and God did he deliver. He did not touch me like I was some glass about to break,instead he held with with surerity. He was bold with everything he did and…wow.For a second I was tempted to put down my shoes,take off the dress and crawl back to bed. To his warmth,his sexy form but I didn't because I knew better.Actually,I didn't know any better. I would be more than happy to indulge with him again and again and again.Only that he was someone I passionately hated and someone I was familiar with.My arrogant boss.Desperate not to wake him up,I quietly turned the knob and slid out locking it as I had opened. The last thing I need is him waking up with me still present in the room.I would die from embarrassment and the awkwardness would also kill me.Top that with his sexy body. No wonder he is so full of himself. The man knows what he has and what he gives.To hell with him and everything that has happened between us.Maybe he won't even remember once he wakes up.I hope he doesn't remember any of it.________________"You slept with your boss?!" Mother screamed at me as she handed me the cup of coffee.I sniffed and almost vomited. The smell was so strong,strong enough to kick the hangover out of my body. It was as dark as the soul of the man I had left in the hotel room. The man I'll come face to face with once I go back to the company.I cradle the cup in both of my hands. "You see mom,if only we had remained at the countryside then none of this would have happened."She snorted and sat across from me. "You should have called me."I scoff. "Why? So you can mock us both before forcing us into marriage? Or better yet you preach to us about the sin of sex before marriage.""Yes but mostly so I could see you walk your walk of shame down those corridors." She threw a cushion at me. "How could you!"It was not a question so I did not bother to answer."It's bad,mama.""You need to start going to church." I groan. "If you did then you would have never fallen for the temptions of flesh."I put the cup of coffee on the table and stand. "I think I need another shower." I stand."Princess?" I stop and sigh. If I had the energy I would have rebuked that name. "We came here to get a better life, remember?"How can I forget.I nod and go to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and just stood there letting the water wash away all my filth.Maybe I should start going to church.But why should I when then one we go to worship there doesn't listen to me. He allowed my father to die. I begged and pleaded with him. I even promised to not kiss a man,ever. The only thing he had to do was allow my father to survive.He did not. I watched as mother prayed during the day and cried by his bed at night. With all that,he still allowed him to wither away in bed.He didn't keep his promise and so I broke mine. Now we are even.A knock comes. "Princess,your phone."I wrap a towel around myself and step out."Hello?""We need to talk."All the energy I had left my body.DesdemonaThe aroma of roasted garlic, rosemary, and seared ribeye filled the house, making the tension vibrating through the dining room a bit warm.Etienne had spent the entire afternoon playing chef. He looked remarkably relaxed which I had not expected as his father and brother were around. He sat at the head of the long table, with Molly in her booster chair to his right and me to his left.Sadly my mother, Myra’s mom and our dearest father, David couldn't make it. My mom said she was busy on a vacation and she refuses to be part of family drama. Myra's mom told me to never bother her again and David, let's just say he had better things to do.Across from me sat Etienne’s father, looking unusually quiet, his sharp eyes scanning the room, moving from face to face and repeating. Next to him was Jules, who looked thoroughly miserable. Probably still nursing a bruised ego from missing the big meeting, his arms crossed tightly over his chest.Further down the table sat Kevin, looking e
DesdemonaThe next morning, the sunlight filtered softly through the kitchen windows.. Etienne stood at the stove, humming lightly under his breath as he flipped pancakes. He looked entirely at peace in his t-shirt and sweatpants.Molly swung her legs back and forth from her high stool at the kitchen island, her eyes glued to the stack of fluffy pancakes growing on the plate.I poured myself a cup of coffee and walked over, sliding onto the stool next to her. I caught Etienne’s eye, and he turned off the burner, wiping his hands on a dishtowel before coming over to stand right beside us. He slid a plate of pancakes in front of Molly, but instead of moving away, he pulled up a chair close to her side."Molly, sweetie," I started, reaching over to gently smooth down a stray curl on her head. "Before we eat, Etienne and I want to talk to you about something really important."Molly looked up from her plate, her eyes darting between the two of us.Etienne took a slow breath, his eyes shin
DesdemonaThe bedroom door creaked open just an inch, letting a sliver of hallway light cut through the shadows of Molly’s room.Etienne stepped inside first, his movements so cautious it was as if he were walking on eggshells. I followed closely behind, my heart still fluttering with a mix of leftover adrenaline and overwhelming relief.We stopped beside the small bed. Molly was completely knocked out, buried beneath a pink duvet with her favorite plush bear tucked securely under her arm. A faint, rhythmic snore escaped her lips.Etienne stood frozen, staring down at her. In the dim light, I watched the realization wash over him all over again. His jaw softened, and his shoulders completely dropped. Slowly, he reached out, his large hand gently brushing a stray curl away from her forehead. He was so careful, treating her like the most fragile, precious thing in the world."Look at her," he whispered, his voice strained with emotion. "She has my nose. How did I not see that before?""
The meeting had gone even better than I’d expected.Okay, let’s be honest, I’d planned for it to go exactly that way, but I was still thoroughly impressed with myself. I had called David earlier to ask for another illegal favor, mostly because that seemed to be his area of expertise these days. His sole job was to ensure Jules didn't make it to the meeting. That way, his father, who was presiding over it, would see firsthand how irresponsible Jules was and finally stop bothering with him.It was a massive success.After the meeting wrapped, I walked straight into the old man's office. My head was held high, but my heart was thumping violently against my ribs.“Sir?”“Yes, Desdemona. Do you have something for me?” he asked, his tone agitated.“About that.” I took a deep, steadying breath. “I will no longer be trying to pit your kids against each other.”He leaned back in his leather chair, rubbing his temples thoughtfully. “And why is that?”“It’s exhausting.”“Give me the real reason,
Desdemona"I'm sorry,mother. We have to tell them."My jaws dropped to the ground and my arms to my side."Please tell me you are kidding.""Oh shit!" Ettiene cussed.I laugh then pause to exchange a glance between the two. "You are joking,right?"No response. "This isn't serious.""No shit it is.""No. No.
Ettiene'I'm getting an abortion.' That's the text I read when my phone vibrates.Such an amazing text in the middle of my drinking. I set the glass aside and read the text again and again before I registered well."She is getting an abortion." I read the message out loud.Myra is crazy and I do not wan
Desdemona"What happened?" I asked Mike but my eyes were entirely focused on Molly. "She was running a fever. I gave her some meds and she was doing okay till she collapsed."The doctor finished with whatever he was doing and turned to me."Doctor?""She's fine." She nudges my arm and guides me to the o
EttieneNo fucking way.Mm Mm. No way in hell. No way back to earth.She is not the owner of this company,she cannot be. I mean,she can,women can do things but…this?! Nope.I am not going to get help from her.Father received his phone while he was in the middle of a hearty conversation. His laughter fil
