He could taste the mint of her glitter lipstick, their shared breath, feel the thud of their combined heartbeat ad they fumbled to take off one another’s clothes. Elise’s attempted to take off her gown, in a hurry to resume kissing Richard but the gown got stuck with her hair clip. Her breathing was ragged as she panted.Richard helped her to pull it off. His eyes fell on the see of her breasts inside her pink, Lacy bra. Desire percolated through him and he tore off his shirt. Then, he pinned her down on the arm of the nearest couch as he started to unbuckle his shorts before he stepped out of it.Elise went wild with ecstasy as she saw in in those small briefs. He had always been careful enough to not get too bare around her, but now he was throwing all caution to the wind as he cupped her face in his strong hands and planted a kiss on her lips. Her lips were soft, almost silken against his own. He moaned as he delved further into her mouth. He pulled away from her, their eyes still
“Damn it!” Richard cursed under his breath, growling. “How long have you known this?”“Only this afternoon. The news have been making rounds and it’s fast gaining momentum. I’ve already been given ah invitation to come over for a press conference as a lot of news thirsty journalists are eager to cover my own end of the issue and possibly get words out of me”“This is very terrible” Richard said, “We need to do something about it.”“That’s exactly why I requested to see you, Boss” Niko said, sitting down on the bed. This time, he was very close to Richard and for a split second, Richard noticed his eye color. His eyes were brown; golden brown and they shone under the lights of the room. Something about Niko made him to remember their shared battles in the past.Together, they both had a way of going around issues that seemed to give them a tough time, but Richard thought of how troubling the issue with Sly Santiago was.“Santiago has become a thorn in our flesh” Niko said.Richard loo
Susan Rodriguez had always been a strong willed woman who was known to chase what she wanted without giving a damn about what other people thought of it. She wore red, right from the threads in her eyes, to the rouge and the color of her Lipstick. Her fiery appearance could send chills down the spine of anyone facing her. She had initially wanted to dress up in a serious dinner gown, but she chose to put on a simple red gown that had glitters at its seams. Her matching red purse was small and classy, it bounced from her hand as she walked.Herr sweet deceptive smile camouflaged an icy demeanor, which could pierce like an ice dagger. As soon as she stepped out of the car, in front of the private bar, she pulled out her favorite pair of dark shades and placed them on her nose.She was going to make some money tonight, she affirmed under her breath to herself. No matter what, she was determined to deal the new deal with that client, besides she really could not tell the next time he wo
Her mother crossed her legs and sat upright, her eyes were still scanning the room. Then, she threw her head backwards and took a long glace at the nude painting of a woman that hung on the wall, besides the glass table. “Who arranged the furniture of this place?” She asked. Elise smiled, “Richard” “Talking about Richard, Why isn’t he out yet? Or isn’t he aware that I’m here?” Elise opened her mouth to talk but she closed it immediately and squeezed her fingers. “Mum” She started to say, “Richard is not at home” Her mother uncrossed the Her mother’s mood went from surprise to anger within seconds and she pushed herself to the edge of the couch, then she placed her hands on her knees. “What do you mean by that? Isn’t Richard supposed to live here with you or did you both split up without my knowledge?” Elise shook her head slowly. She felt tears well up in her eyes as she was at lost on what she could tell her mother about Richard’s destination. She sighed softly, and brushed h
Susan was taken aback by how defensive her daughter had now become because of Richard, a mere bodyguard.She eyed him and turned her face slowly.Richard watched everything unfold in front of him without a word. He had always tried to avoid being a source of conflict between his girlfriend and her parents but now, it seemed like it was something he could not prevent.So, he quietly cleared his throat and grabbed his phone from the couch where he just stood up from. “Ma’am, I’ll be stepping outside now.” He said and walked out of the room.Elise’s mother was still struck at the display of confidence that her daughter was now portraying. “All I do is to seek for ways you can be better and in dwell in comfort” She said as she edged backwards and sat on the couch behind her. She leaned forward and held her head in her hands. “But, what do u get in return? This blow to my face”Elise got soft and rushed to sit besides her mother. She wrapped an ark around her mother’s shoulder as she press
“Why exactly did you request to see me?” He asked, her eyebrows furrowed in slight anger because, although he had felt that Niko regretted cutting ties with him, he still wanted to hear directly from Niko, why he had to end their partnership.Niko heaved a sigh. It was clear now. There was no reason for him to sugar coat his words. “I guess you already know why I asked to see you” Niko said, gritting his teeth as he spoke.Sly turned to glare at him.The tension hung heavy in the air as both men met each other’s eyes in a silent confrontation.“Tell me, Mr. Niko” Sly sneered with derision.Niko turned to face him, his irritation about the whole attack by Sly piled up and he hissed.“Sly, can we stop the pretence? We are both aware of what you’re doing to soil the reputation of my company. Not only that, you have gone as far as causing the government to place a silent ban on my company. This is among other despicable acts that you have successfully carried out. I called got this meet
The afternoon heat had gone down a bit when Richard returned from the mall with two brown paper bags swinging from his hands. There was a wide, playful grin on his face and a mischievous glint in his eyes as he inserted the key into the key hole of the apartment door. He was sure that Elise would be more than surprised after hearing everything that he had lined up for the evening. He closed his eyes briefly and opened them again as he unlocked the apartment door. A fleeting image of Elise’s smiling face flashed through his mind and he could not hide how excited he was. He snapped his fingers, the keys jingled in his right hand as he started to open the door as stealthily as he could. He was sure that Elise was not in the living room but he did not want to take any chances because he wanted to creep up on her with the surprise packages. After he had opened the door wide enough, he pushed himself through the space and gently closed the door behind him. The burning smell of somet
“I ruined it” She sniffed. Richard wrapped his arms around her from behind and held her closely to his body. “Calm down, my love” “No” She snorted. “,Don’t tell me to calm down. I am not even happy with myself. That was supposed to be a surprise cake for you, Babe” Richard’s eyes widened with sincere disbelief as he asked behind her, “A surprise cake for me?” She nodded, wiping off her tears with the hem of her shirt. “You know, I don’t like it when you get into the kitchen and mess up your fingers. I don’t like it “ She bobbed her head. Guilt filled her up and she bit hard on her lips. Then, it dawned on her that she was not the one who had turned off the oven. The cake was even out and she had not even thought about that. Her focus drifted to Richard and she turned around to face him “Babe?” She said in a soft tone. “What Is it, my love?” “Did you turn off the oven? I’m very sure that I did not do that myself. God damn it!” She cursed under her breath “I was lying like
