A Forbidden Affair -First Encounter

I'm so glad to be back; I have missed Richard a lot. He has been really busy, either at work or in a conference meeting. We decided that I would pay him a visit;So we will make up for the moments we have missed. She steps down from the airport as she sees a man holding a paper with her name boldly written on it. She walks up to him, and he puts her luggage into the booth.It's going to be a long ride. She thought.A few minutes later we stopped over at an estate, and she alighted from the car as he carried her luggage inside.She couldn't help but smile at how big the house looked, typical Richard.She enters the house full of joy to finally see him.Babe! Richard! She called out.She reaches for the stairs as she hears a song playing loudly. Since when does he play songs? She chuckles as she twists the doorknob and enters."Babe, I'm back," she said, giggling. The hell! She screamed in horror as she saw a man vigorously slamming into a young lady as she moaned.What the hell is g

A Forbidden Affair - Tension

Sleep didn’t come easy. Lena lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling as her mind wandered, replaying the events of the day; it replayed in her mind like a stubborn loop. Every time she shut her eyes, she saw him, Jayden. His shirtless body, the confidence that he carries, feels like the world bent to his will.It irritated her.She turned to her side with a frustrated sigh, pulling the duvet closer to her body. Why am I even thinking about him? She muttered quietly. She had come here to spend time with Richard. For peace. Not for… whatever this was.By the time morning came, she had barely slept.Sunlight filtered through the curtains, soft and golden, stretching across the room. Lena groaned softly, rubbing her eyes before sitting up. Her head was banging.“Great,” she whispered. “First day here and I already feel like shit.”She pushed herself out of bed and headed to the bathroom, hoping a cold splash of water would help.After a quick shower, she stood in front of her open suitcas

A Forbidden Affair - Too Close

While it was just a simple conversation, his personality confuses her.This version of Jayden didn’t match the one she had seen on the first day; he seemed more like a Playboy type, not a sweet guy who takes a girl out for a cozy date.“You’re quiet; what's wrong?" he said suddenly, stirring his drink.Lena looked up. “Maybe I just don’t have anything to say to you.”“Lying doesn't suit you; your expression gives you away."Her brows lifted slightly. "You think you know me?”“You’ve been thinking,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “I can tell.”She looked away, taking a sip of her drink to avoid answering.He wasn’t wrong.That was the problem.By the time they left, the sun had gone lower, casting a soft orange glow across the streets.The walk back to the car made her feel uneasy knowing they were about to be alone at home together.Lena wasn’t paying attention to where she was stepping until her foot caught slightly on the uneven pavement.Before she could react, Jayden’s hand c

A Forbidden Affair -Heated Situation

The next day Lena woke up as she heard her phone ring.Hello, yeah, who is this?"Uhm, are you Miss Lena?" a male voice asked.Yeah... how may I help you?Yesterday we arrested Jadyden Blake for reckless driving while drunk.What! She said as she almost gagged.How? He didn't leave the house, did he?So he gave us your number; you need to come over and bail him. I will see you at the address."Right, I'm on my way; give me some minutes," I say as the call ends.I can't believe this. How many problems does he want to bring to me?I should call Richard...or maybe not; he's probably busy since he has not called me today.She locks the door and waits for the taxi.Locating the station wasn't difficult; reaching there, she sighted an officer on the counter.Hello, please. I'm here to bail someone. She saidHe asked for her ID, and then she paid the bail amount.What's the name?Lenna QuinnHe gives her a quizzical look. Is that the person's name?"Oh, sorry," she says, embarrassed, Jayden.

A Forbidden Affair -Realization

Morning came quietly, but Lena woke with a feeling she couldn't understand.For a few seconds, she just lay there, staring at the ceiling. She thought about Jayden.She groaned softly and sat up. “Get a grip,” she muttered under her breath.The house felt lonely.Lena walked downstairs slowly, expecting to hear something from Jayden, his voice, anything.But nothing.She eventually found him in the kitchen.He wasn’t shirtless this time. Fully dressed. He stood by the counter, scrolling through his phone, barely acknowledging her presence.That alone felt… off.“Morning,” she said, her voice cautious.Jayden looked up briefly. “Morning.”That was it.No teasing, smirk. Or lingering glance.Just… normal.Lena frowned slightly. “You’re up early.”He looked up slowly. "Yeah," he said. She shifted awkwardly, suddenly unsure of what to say.This wasn’t the Jayden she met.The silence was disturbing.A few moments passed before he spoke again.“About yesterday…”Lena looked up immediatel

Where Lines Blur

Lena expected tension the moment she stepped into the house.Her mind had already played out different scenarios: Richard questioning her, suspicion in his eyes, maybe even anger. After all, she had spent the night out.But none of that happened.“Babe,” Richard said casually, walking up to her and placing a light peck on her lips, like everything was okay.The ease in his tone irritated her more.“You don’t care to know where I was?” she asked.“Of course I do,” he replied smoothly.She folded her arms. “Really?”“Jayden called this morning,” he added. “He told me he was with you, so I knew you were okay.”Lena blinked.“Oh.”“Wait… where did you sleep?”Richard hesitated.For the first time, he looked scared to face her.“I… uh…” his gaze dropped briefly, like he couldn’t meet her eyes.That was enough.“Really?” Lena scoffed, brushing past him without waiting for an answer.Something inside her died instantly.Later that afternoon, Lena sat quietly in the living room, her thoughts

Torn Between Two Truths

The ride back felt longer than it should have.Lena sat by the window, her reflection faint against the glass as city lights blurred past. Her fingers were still curled loosely around the teddy bear Jayden had won for her.So when she returned home that night, they went straight to their different rooms, not before sharing a goodnight kiss. Smiles on their faces as they enter their separate rooms.She assumed Richard wasn’t back yet.After a quick shower, she changed into her silk nightwear.The lights were dim; walking close to the bed, she sights Richard on the bed.Lying on his side of the bed like he had no worry in this world.Lena paused for a moment, watching him.For some reason, seeing him like that softened something in her chest.She quietly got into bed, careful not to wake him.The mattress dipped slightly.Richard shifted almost immediately.“Lena…” he murmured softly.Before she could respond, his arm found its way around her waist, pulling her closer in his sleepy state

Crossing The Line

The next morning she decided to make breakfast for everyone; she was making bacon and eggs. Just then Richard reaches for her waist, giving her a kiss on her neck. Woah! This smells so good. He said "Good morning," she said, smiling. You didn't need to do all this; we could order food. He said, caressing her arm. Yeah, I just wanted something homely. The door is pushed open, and Jayden walks in. The damp weight of his shirt did nothing to hide the heavy pull of his chest as he breathed, the fabric sticking to every hard line and curve of his torso. She couldn't look away from the way his hair, dark and messy, clung to the nape of his neck, or the way a single drop of sweat tracked a slow, agonizing path down the sharp edge of his jaw. He moved with a lazy, post-workout ache, his shoulders seemingly wider than the doorway. When he reached for a bottle of water, the muscles in his forearms flexed. He looked flushed in the best way possible. She didn't realize her lips were sl

The Aftermath

Lena woke slowly; for a moment, nothing made sense.The room was unfamiliar, the curtains drawn halfway, letting in soft streaks of morning light.An arm wrapped tightly around her waist.Her breath hitched.Memory didn’t rush back all at once; it came in tiny pieces. His voice, low. The way his hands had worshiped her body but trembled slightly, like he was holding himself back. The look in his eyes, searching for her body's reaction.She shifted carefully to avoid waking him up, but his hold only tightened, instinctively pulling her closer against him, like he feared she might disappear if he loosened his grip.Her back pressed fully against his chest now, his warmth seeping into her skin.For a while, she just stayed there, letting the reality settle in.Then slowly, she turned her head to face him.Jayden’s face, relaxed in sleep, looked peaceful. The usual sharpness in his eyes was gone, replaced with something unguarded. His lashes were full and long, and his lips were plump an

Shattered Lines

The evening air was calm; Richard had insisted on the date.The soft candlelight, the clinking of glasses, the romantic atmosphere, the way he made her feel seen for the first time in a while.By the time they returned home, the car rolled into the driveway.From the window, Lena spotted a figure; it was Jayden.He stood just outside the house, beside a woman. They were laughing about something.As Richard parked, Jayden glanced up. Their eyes met briefly before his expression settled into something unreadable.“Hey,” he greeted casually as they approached.The woman beside him turned too.And that was when it hit her.A flash of memory struck her hard.The first day she arrived at the house. She was the lady that was Jayden.Her stomach twisted violently.The lady smiled politely, but her eyes lingered a little too long, scanning her in a way that made her skin crawl.“Good evening,” she said softly.Her voice felt distant, drowned under the rush of blood in her ears.She forced a no
