A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 56: A Bullet For Me
Sapphire's POVI watched intently as the doctor examined Eric's wound in his chest and checked his vitals, fear gripping my body whole like a vice. We were back at the villa, with Eric laying on the bed and me sitting next to him. It was only thanks to the security guard who was nearby at the beach that I could bring Eric here soon. I had been screaming frantically as I watched Eric lay flat on the sand, his face contorted with pain. My screams had caught the attention of the guard."Help me! "Please, help me! My husband has been shot!" I had found myself crying out, my trembling hands covered in Eric's blood.The bullet hadn't left much of a gaping hole in his chest yet his blood seeped out in small streams, staining his shirt until it was soaked. I'd heard my own heartbeat pounding in my ears and I'd felt my entire body shivering. It'd prompted the guard to run towards me and kneel down, trying to get control of the situation."We need to get him to the villa immediately," he'd said
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 57: A Life Worth Protecting
Sapphire's POV"Well?" I peered at Eric who was just staring blankly at me, making no move to give me an answer. "Please tell me. I need to know! Why did you take that bullet for me?"Eric's stoic expression didn't change but I could see the wheels turning in his head and a glint of emotion betraying him in his eyes. He was trying to come up with an answer but it was clear to see that he was struggling. He gripped the covers on the bed and glanced away, shifting uncomfortably on the bed as though he was grappling with his own thoughts. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he spoke."You're my wife. And whether it's a contract or not, I take my responsibilities seriously. And in that moment, my responsibility was to protect you.""You didn't have to, Eric. You didn't have to do it," I said, shaking my head and shutting my eyes for a while."Of course I had to. I brought you here and it's my responsibility to take care of you at all times. I'm your husband regardless of what we bo
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 58: Get Malibu'd
Sapphire's POV I was left speechless by all that Eric said. I didn't know how to react or what to say. I opened my mouth to speak, to express myself but no words came out. My tongue failed me. All I could do was look into his eyes in hopes that my own eyes would reveal to him what I didn't have the guts to.I was in love with this man and after what he did for me, my feelings for him intensified. If there was anyway I had doubts about what I felt for him, if I ever thought I had been mistaking infatuation for love, then this single act of selflessness Eric had displayed for my sake, without me having to ask, had erased them all and had secured his place in my heart."Thank you," I choked out, a tear sliding down my cheek. "Thank you for saving me."Eric reached for my face and cupped my cheek. With his thumb, he wiped the tear off my face and stroked my cheek. "You don't look so good when you cry."I forced a smile and leaned against him, careful to graze his wound. Eric wrapped his
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 59: It Went Down At The Balcony
Sapphire's POVEric's grip around my waist tightened in response and he kissed me harder, sucking on my lip. He snaked his hands around my lower back and caressed it while I tilted my head from side to side in the rhythm of our kiss. Eric pushed his body against me and clawed at my dress. His hand slithered inside and greeted my bare back. I flinched as I felt a sudden quiver spark through me. His hand stroked my skin while the other one cupped my face.I caught Eric's shirt and tugged at it. I moved my hands to his hair and clutched it. Eric increased the pace and started kissing me with more fervid passion and urgency. Fuck, I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted him so badly. I desperately needed him. I didn't care about what I was doing or cared to worry about the future. All I knew was that I wanted nothing more than to have Eric.Eric began to massage my breasts carefully and then roughly. He slipped his hand underneath my dress and got a hold of my nipple. His forefinger drew cir
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 60: Come For Me, Tigress
Sapphire's POVWith his eyes never peeling off mine, Eric slowly ripped off his pants and his boxers, his hard cock springing free. He was now completely naked and the sight of him made me wet all over again. I had said it before and I had no problem saying it again—this man was a work of art, his body was sculpted to perfection. I had sucked in a loud breath as soon as I got to see his hard, thick, long cock in all its glory. His shaft was throbbing and leaking pre-cum, his eyes dark with an obsession for me as though he could see only me. And I loved it.Eric kicked off his pants on the floor and walked closer to me, his eyes not leaving my naked body. He climbed on top of me, his muscular, tattooed body hovering above my slender frame. Then he captured my lips with his and kissed me hard, his tongue plundering my mouth with the same fervour as before. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer, so desperate to feel his warm skin against mine.He broke our kiss and straighte
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 61: Morning Glory
Sapphire's POVI woke up to Eric raining kisses all over my body. We had flown back to New York about a week ago and it was safe to say that things were going smoothly between the two of us. I mean, I no longer felt like ripping him apart or kicking him where the sun didn't shine. As a matter of fact, we were practically living like a normal couple in love even when it was just the two of us present.The trip to Malibu made things take a very swift turn. It made me realize how much I was in love with him and it was also because of it, I found out how far Eric would go just to keep me safe. The thought warmed my heart whenever it came to my mind and it propelled me to ponder on our stance in this odd relationship.Sure, Eric never ran out of ways to make me feel loved but it was one thing to do that and then it was another to vocally express it. There were times he did things that could compel anyone to believe he really had feelings for me and other times, he was the exact opposite. H
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 62: Don't Go To Her
Sapphire's POVWhy is that woman here so early in the morning? And what business does she have with Eric? What kind of woman storms a married man's home at such an ungodly hour? That bitch sure has got some nerves! What the hell could she want? I bet she's here to ruin my morning or make me agitated like her presence always does. She obviously can't stand the thought of seeing me with Eric. It's no wonder she was absent at our wedding.I felt a knot of anger forming in the pit of my stomach and it made me clench my fists around the sheets. I already didn't like her and now she was interrupting my intimate moment with Eric. And that too, so freaking early in the morning. I wanted to scream, to tell her to go away but I couldn't. I was still pinned underneath Eric and his fingers were still teasing and stroking my nub. I moaned involuntarily, clearly enjoying what Eric was doing to me but the thought of Sophia being here contrasted it.The mere mention of that woman's name was enough to
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 63: Drama Is A Donovan Thing
Sapphire's POV"That Sophia sounds like a menace," Jamila commented, her eyes fixed on the clothes rack. "She's really something, huh?"I exhaled and grazed my hair with my finger subconsciously, glancing away, "You have no idea."We were out shopping for clothes, courtesy of my 'darling' husband who had been so kind enough to give me his credit card to do as I pleased with it. It was some sort of bribery, of course, for leaving me all alone. After he'd left with Sophia, he came back later in the evening and apologized for leaving like that. He seemed to know how to apologize more often these days.It was pointless to keep being mad at him so I let it go but it didn't mean I was going to jump into his arms and kiss him after what had transpired. Eric explained everything to me when he got back but frankly, I wasn't really paying that much attention. I was trying so hard to drown out my anger at Sophia. But I did grab a few things. He told me something about her boyfriend, (that's righ
