CHAPTER 15RUBY’S POVMy session with Dennis in the club wasn’t a long one because he also knew I would never dance for him after our first encounter. So once we were both done signing the contract, I told him of my progress with getting back with Dax and he was satisfied to know I was already working on it before we even signed the contract.With that, he left the room first and I busied myself with cleaning up after him. When I was done, I grabbed a copy of my contract and tucked it into my brassier before I walked out of the room. Suddenly, I bumped into someone coming toward me and the glass of wine that I held spilled. I looked up to apologize and when I saw it was Lilac, all the apology died on my tongue because I was certain she did this on purpose to cause a scene and pin the fault on me. The nerve of the sneaky little bitch. “Are you blind? Watch where you’re fucking going” she screeched while she wiped the wine off her face and I gave her a blank look.“Really? That’s how
CHAPTER 16RUBY’S POVDax didn’t say a single word to me after taking me out of Avery’s office. All he did was pull me along with him and I was too tongue-tied to utter a single word as I followed him with so many questions swirling in my head. Why did he pay for me exclusively for the rest of the month? Why did he bother to defend me? Most people wouldn’t care even if they witnessed the whole thing but he was different. He cared.He suddenly opened the door to one of the private rooms and I was about to tell him it was occupied but I was too late. He had pulled me in along with him and we witnessed a client and one of the dancers kissing. He literally had his tongue down her throat while she gave him a handjob and I was too stunned to move or look away.It was both shocking and arousing at the same time and it made my skin tingle with something unrecognizable. It made me wonder how it would feel to have Dax kiss me just like that.Quickly, Dax withdrew from the room and shut the doo
CHAPTER 17 RUBY’S POVCrawling into bed with my vibrator in hand, I closed my eyes to visualize a scene that would turn me on but all I could think about was Dax and only his face filled my imagination.I was too desperate to climax so I didn’t care and just went ahead with it. The least he could do was stay in my head and help get me off since he walked out on me at the club.So I turned the vibrator on and trailed it up my thighs slowly to set the mood before I slowly inserted it into my pussy and let out a soft moan while I busied my other hand by rubbing it over my clit. I arched my back as the pleasure took over me and invaded my senses and my lips parted while I let out noiseless pants and subtle moans in between as my body got closer and closer to the edge.In my head, Dax was touching me and whispering dirty words to me in my ear while he played with my clit and fingered at the same time. He made me look him in the eyes while his fingers pumped in and out of me and he made s
CHAPTER 18RUBY’S POVMonday came around again and Sally was ready for school.The bus had just arrived so I walked her out and I stood by the porch to watch her get into the bus. Then she waved at me through the window and I did the same while she mouthed a goodbye to me.Once the bus was gone, I saw Dax walking toward me from the other side of the street and I waited to hear what he had to say to me even though I was still mad at him for leaving me like that at the club.“Off to school uh?” he asked, referring to Sally when he finally joined me on the porch and I nodded, my hands securely folded across my chest as a way to try and keep my inner panic at a minimum because I was still freaking out about our kiss. I bet he wouldn't feel the same way because Magenta was just a random masked dancer in a club that he was probably momentarily obsessed with and was soon going to get bored of. Just like he would with me if I let him in again.“Yeah. Now what is it that you have to say? It's
CHAPTER 19RUBY’S POVQuickly, I dashed for Clarissa’s room and I flung the door open to see she was busy typing away on her laptop. I felt sorry for distracting her when she was so busy setting up her business but I needed her help at that moment and it couldn’t be later.“Is something wrong? You look terrified” She asked me and I joined her on the bed before speaking.“Dax just asked me out on a date and I don’t know what I’m going to do,” I freaked out and she closed her laptop shut before fixing her whole attention on me.“But you have gone on dates with him before. Why are you freaking out now?” she asked me and I palmed my face because I didn’t know why either. I was just losing my mind over the fact that I was going on a date with Dax after eight years. I wasn’t supposed to because I didn’t feel anything for him again. it was supposed to be a piece of cake for me but instead, I was feeling unsettled about the idea of dressing up to go out alone with Dax.I peeked at Clarrissa
CHAPTER 20DAX’S POVWe walked into my office and Simon shut the door before he turned to me and waited for me to answer his question. I knew I was his employer and he was my bodyguard but he was practically family to me already. There wasn’t any kind of discussion we didn’t have because we got along that much and I didn’t care much about bossing him around. He always knew what to do.“I’m going on a date with Ruby tonight,” I told him and I watched his eyes widen. Then he walked closer to the table while I was busy flipping through the pages of a document for a quick sign that was required for an approval.“Are you serious? Ruby agreed to go on a date with you?” he asked me and I frowned at him.“Why are you so surprised? Is it weird she agreed? Weren’t we both hoping this plan of moving to Denmark would work?” I asked so many questions all at the same time while I wondered why he was so surprised that I got Ruby to go on a date with me and he held his hands up in defense.“I didn’t
CHAPTER 21DAX’S POVThe elevator stopped when we got to our destination and I watched the doors slide open before I walked out right after the secretary who led the way but with her head bowed as she avoided my gaze and I was glad that I got her to stop running her mouth and not try to get my attention.We were about to take the next turn when a familiar voice called my name and I stopped in my tracks, surprised that he was also in Denmark and in the same company that was pitching for a partnership with my company at the same time.Turning around to face him with a face void of any emotion, Dennis smiled at me, probably to piss me off but I felt nothing but indifference because he was that irrelevant to me. Looking at him, I couldn’t help but wonder what made me make him a friend of mine years ago because it all turned out to be a waste of time since he was never of help to me.“Surprised to see me, Dax?” he asked and I tucked my hands into my pockets before staring him down.“What
CHAPTER 22RUBY’S POVI was still trying to figure out what to wear for my date with Dax when Sally returned from school and she bolted straight for my room.“Mum, I'm back” she yelled in a sing-song voice as she ran into my arms for a hug and I laughed when she unexpectedly kissed me on the cheek.“What was that for? That was sudden” I asked her while I still laughed and she giggled.“We were told by our teacher to give our mums a big kiss on the cheeks when we get home” she answered and I felt my heart flutter as I smiled at her while gently running my fingers through her hair.“Well, I'll have to thank your teacher for that. That was sweet of you, Sally” I told her and she got shy as she used her tiny hands to shield her face so I wouldn't see her blush. I laughed at how cute she could be before I pulled her hands away and kissed her on the cheek too then I smiled at her again.“A kiss for my angel,” I told her and she smiled widely on hearing me call her my angel. Then she looked
