"Hello, husband..."Those two words had his brows knitted as he watched the red light bathe her almost naked body in a way that had his blood rage. He couldn't get his eyes off her, of the lacy Ivory Bralettes that hugged against her tanned body, that it was see-through had his eyes snaking down her chest to the thong.He would have blamed it on lack of glasses if he wasn't wearing one at that moment, but even then, his eyesight wasn't too bad; what was she doing?She let her finger trace from her knees to the garter on her midthighs further past the thong and finally stopping on her cleavage, and all those while his eyes followed the trail of her fingers.He was going nuts.No, she was going nuts!"You like it?" her sultry voice surrounded him, she flicked her hair back, twirling so her back was to him, and she placed her hands on her ass cheeks, grappling thick flesh, "I think it's quite Elastane, hugs me too much, don't you think?"His thought was a lot of things he couldn't fathom
A slam on the desk. "Fuck Goddamnit!" Noah sighed, watching the president slide back on his chair; this would be the hundredth time he slammed hard on the desk with his fist, his face buried into his hands, jaw clenched, and eyes restless.And him feeling like this wasn't advised; Nico was a demon when he had all these emotions whirling around like bonfires. But he couldn't do anything when the president refused to say what bothered him.Usually, Noah had a clue on what, but since Nico dashed out of his room almost shirtless and redoing the hook of his pants, with his suit bag thrown over his shoulder, it was like all of the president's composure was slowly going down the drain.Meeting with a newly appointed Italian ambassador wouldn't get him this worked up anyway.Something was up, something he didn't want to tell."Shit!"Noah grimaced. How bad was it? "Boss, are you ok?"His kindness was rewarded with a pointed finger tightly clenching into a fist, "Do not ask me that again,"N
Nikolai Star gazed at the phone, swiping through the numerous photos his 'wife' had put so much effort into ruining his life.Well, it was beautiful; she was beautiful, for he had never seen her naked in a bright light, and given the opportunity, she was perfection, hair like a damp mop on her head, skin wet and glistening.Staring into the camera and peering into his soul, eyes naughty and daring.He had begun sweating. And his necktie under his collar had started to feel so uncomfortable that he began to pull it loose right under the gaze of the ambassador, who had a confused smile on her face."Your Excellency, are you alright?" the woman's mild voice reminded him that he wasn't alone.And good thing, for he was about to curse out.Nico swallowed and shut his eyes before he dropped the phone on the table and sent the woman a wavering smile, but even with his struggle, he could feel his fist beginning to fold."Sir," Noah's warning tone relaxed his fingers back on the table.He sig
Although alone with her children, who had forgotten about her again, Elena couldn't stop her fingers from shaking, remembering cold lips against her forehead and icy eyes behind reading glasses.She hugged herself, sitting on Mia's bed.She tried shaking off the feeling that she should be running for her life, which was strange, for she had never felt like this during the years of their contract marriage.He had looked so harmless and felt mild, to the point that staring at him those times, seeing him frustrated about Alexa, she silently wished she could wipe his despair.But right now, she wasn't sure. He was showing her a different side to himself, So different sometimes she wondered if she was the one seeing things.Seeing the children had finally fallen asleep, she switched off the light and left the room, going straight to hers, relieved to have it all to herself for the night; she needed to think things through.One thing was sure; There would be no more flirting with him. How
Thinking back now, he knew that was the first night he had let his composure go down the drain before her, and he knew she noticed it too.Maybe he had even done it on purpose to see her eyes fill with questions she couldn't answer herself. It fascinated him to the extreme.Her eyes scrutinized him as if what she sought was buried under his skin.How had he not perceived this side of her? She was an unpredictable human, constantly devising, and although it was dangerous, he couldn't wait to see what she came up with under that brown hair of hers.It had been a while since he sat down to enjoy anything, and her show just seemed to catch his attention. She had effortlessly gotten under his skin with just a few moves, and no one knew, but he was just one to keep danger close.Now as he brushed the already-dried painting of his daughter, he couldn't help but smile out his satisfaction, although knowing she might take a peek at it and then drop her attention back on what she was doing, then
Elena's POV."...another day to live for ourselves." Nikolai stood beside me in front of a large building, peering into the crowd, his eyes full of life, and yes, you guessed it, another public appearance, "But sometimes the Universe needs someone who can stand up to look out for others."Unlike the last time when he had told me about it a night before the event, this time, I was given a whole week to prepare myself.So this time, I wasn't overly apprehensive like the last time; this time, I clunge closer to him than his cologne, staring at him with made-up adoration to give the press pictures to talk about.I even went the extra to brush the shoulder of his suit, and he looked into the crowd and sighed, "She can't take her hands off me."We were in an opening of a new hospital, and according to him, the fund that was about to be given to them was in my name, so not only was I going to stand with him, I had to say something on the mic if I wanted to.Learning my lesson, I didn't try
He ignored Nikolai, walking towards me, then stretched his hand for a handshake, "This day will forever be carved in my heart, First Lady Elena Rossi," "And who are you?" It was taking all of my will not to pull back."Oh me," he pointed to himself, then stared back at Nikolai before returning his gaze to me, then standing erect and bowing, just too low, his hand still stretched, "I'm Noah's brother."I blinked. Didn't he notice I heard enough for me to make out he was lying to me? But I wasn't about to tell him; he could pull a gun.What did he have on Nikolai that even warranted him calling the president 'Stupid'?A lot of things weren't right here."It's hard to keep my hand on the air like this" he held his elbow for support, "I'll like a handshake if you'll stop staring at my tats."I blushed red."I'm sorry I didn't realize," I shook the hard rough hands forcing a friendly– "I see you're friends with my husband."He dug his hands into his pocket, "Childhood friends First Lady,
The door banged shut, and I jerked, sending the container of pencils to the floor. When I looked up at the door, it was to see Joey staring at me with concern; he was holding a package that had the company logo forged on it.I rubbed my tired eyes, going for the floor immediately to gather the pencils back into the container, only to be pricked on my thumb by the sharp end."Owwww," I yelped.Joey quickened his steps towards me before he pulled me up, scolding, "Let it be Elen; I'll take care of it.""No," I refused, but then he plopped me back on my seat, drew out a napkin, held my thumb, and pressed it against it.I tried not to look into his face, knowing what I'd see."I thought it was just me noticing you're jumpy today until Char asked me to check up on you; now here you are, wounding your thumb" he bent down and began putting the pencils back, "Want to talk about it?"Even if I wanted to, was I going to tell him that I had tried seducing my husband, and when I had least expect
