Theo’s Bentley pulled over at the entrance of a familiar casino—the same one she followed John. A smile towed her lips as she remembered how Ollie had helped her that day even though she didn’t tell him what was going on. He’d made effort to put her in good mood but she couldn’t bring herself to force a smile that day because John had squandered her money. Theo stepped out of the car and stretched a hand out to her which she took without deliberation.She took his hand and muttered A thank you to him. The parking lot was swimming with luxury cars and people adorned in luxury accessories.Unlike before, June was not out of place. She wore a glittering silvery dress silted by the side. It had a v-neck off-shoulder that dipped down revealing her cleavages and the back dipped to her waist too. The dress made her slightly gauche but she didn’t have a choice. Theo had said she wore it or the deal was off and she wasn’t about to let go of twelve thousand dollars. Theo placed his palm on
Swiftly, June dodged her head. She breathed in and out slowly to calm her chaotic heartbeat before craning her head toward Ollie’s direction. It was almost like an obsession she couldn’t look away knowing his eyes were on her. His disinterested look contoured into a confused one when recognition dawned on him. His eyes glinted as he drank in her body. An inferno swept through her body as his eyes appraised her even as his forehead’s creases deepened. His gaze raised aloft her head. And like a light switch his face darkened and a cold dignity created a stony veneer on his face. He tilted his head, moving his eyes cynically between her and Theo. She perked up at Theo. A smirk was tucked into his lips and he waved at Ollie. Were the two acquaintances? She looked at Ollie again. He lacked the same enthusiastic look as Theo. His clenched jaw was visible under the dimmed purple light and he looked like he wanted to go to butcher Theo. It didn’t take long to put two and two together. Ol
The black satin curtain covering the stage rolled over to either side, revealing a large poker table. Anticipation buzzed around the corners of the wall. The game was the highlight of the evening. It was the sole reason why members gather here every Friday. To show off money. Or skills. Ollie looked briefly in June’s direction for the nth time— losing counts. Ollie had never struggled with keeping his anger in check. He was a master of controlling his emotions. But it was quickly slipping off his hands at the image of June and Theo together. A fiery pit scorched inside his stomach. He was on the verge of losing it. It was driving him crazy. Seeing Theo with her had him snarling like a rabid dog. Anger choked his throat, leaving him breathless and yearning for oxygen. His blood pooled with fury. He loathed it. June with Theo made acid churn his inside eating away his gut slowly. Million of questions skimmed through his mind haphazardly making it hard for even his brain to keep up
June cursed under her breath in frustration, clutching the stained part of her dress under the running water. She would be lying if she said she hadn’t felt the tension at the table. Her legs were trembling with Ollie’s deadly gaze on her. His presence rattled her. It unnerved her. It was like a hand was squeezing her lungs, constricting her breathing. She could only let out the heavy breath she was holding when she stepped into the bathroom. She knew Ollie spilled the whiskey on purpose, he didn’t hide it. And she was grateful. Though a beautiful dress was ruined in the process. Theo hadn’t yielded to her warning. He’d continued to get handsy with her. Running his callous rough hands on her body. She shuddered in disgust at the memory. She should have known he was a jerk. But money made her blind. At least she had it now. “Damn it.” She muttered. The fucking stain wouldn’t come off. The stain continued to spread so she gave up. It was high time she left this place. She was done
Twenty days. Twenty days. And the night was still fresh in her memory. It played in her mind like a tape recorder without a stop button. She hated it as much as she loved it. Every inch of her body memorized him. Revolted by it. But could gladly relive it. Her feelings were like two sides of a coin. Her skin lingered on every burning touch of his. Every kiss. Every taste. Every heavenly sensation. And she disliked that it did. It had also been twenty days since she heard from him. She wanted to forget it. How she’d felt. How Ollie had addressed her with a judgmental look. How he managed to say a lot without saying much. How he didn’t listen to her and had made a judgment about her—only with his eyes. She was familiar with eyes that her too quick to judge her and voices eager to lash at her. She grew to not let it hurt her because she was used to it. It happened every day. In the club and her daily life. But it coming from Ollie stroke her with an unaccustomed pain. It wa
“Why?” she asked confused. “I was in the dressing room all night.” She had been sitting out for some time now. “Consider it your luck.” “You are paying me for free?” June wrinkled her nose. What in hell name is going on? Maeve doesn’t do charity. “Are you going to question me or are you going to take the pay?” Maeve glanced at her. She never rejects a freebie. But, coming from Maeve was too suspicious. Maeve always wanted something in return. Her motto was nothing comes without a price for fucksake. She stared at the envelope lying on the table. “Why?” Maeve’s jaw visibly clenched. But it didn’t stop June from asking her questions. Better safe than sorry. “What is in it for you?” “Take the pay or leave empty-handed June. Don’t question me.” She gritted the words through her clenched teeth. June narrowed her eyes at Maeve. “Nothing shady about this?” “Nothing shady. Take the cash and leave!” Maeve said in a high tone. “I won’t get arrested for this?” Maeve si
In his defense, he'd left that night due to an urgent meeting. But he knew in his heart that it was all a sham.He had to flee because of the all-consuming emotions that were concocting inside of him, which were kindled by none other than June. He’d tagged after June Into the restroom to check up on her. But when he marched into the bathroom. The image of Theo and her together clouded his mind with dense black fog, teetering him over the edge. He’d moved primally controlled by his emotions and wanted to mark her as his in some way. Hell, did he regret it?No. He’d enjoyed every minute of it. Her muffled cries. How her body felt warm beneath him. Her gorgeous rosy cheeks as she swooped all over his cock. How she took him so well as if she was made just for him. Everything was so perfect. So fucking perfect. Until his heart started hammering against his ribcages, twisting his inside with a maelstrom of emotions. Emotions that were novel to him. Lust, he could deal with, not t
With ease, he fit between the two of them, his back to June and his face to the man with a death wish. “Can’t take a hint?” His tone was relatively civil despite his anger. “She doesn’t want to dance with you.” He pinned the man with a dead glare. Apprehension lined the man’s face as he staggered backward clearly drunk. “Who did fuck are you?” He stammered. “Someone who is going to kill you if you don’t leave.” He said menacingly. The man’s throat visibly moved up and down and he licked his lips with obvious panic. Ollie raised an eyebrow at the man’s fidgeting. Ollie was six feet three with beefy muscles so yes the man was scared of him. “Yo man…” He stuttered. “Didn’t know she is your girl. Sorry.” “You should apologize to her not me.” He sidestepped and gestured his hand at June. “Go ahead.” Ollie prompted. “Sorry, girl didn’t know you have a man.” She scoffed loudly before crossing her arm over her chest. “I told you I wasn’t interested twice and it wasn’t because of a
