CHAPTER 36RUBY’S POV“Clarissa Tovaro, do you like Simon Benson?” I asked her and she blinked before looking away with a chuckle.“What are you talking about? Of course not, Ruby. Have you forgotten we don't get along?” she denied but I wasn't convinced because I could see through whenever she was lying… all the time.“Say something more believable, Clarissa, because you aren't convincing me at all,” I told her and she groaned.“Even if I do like him, it won't change anything, Ruby so drop it” She tried to end the discussion but that wasn't going to deter me because I was going to drill answers out of her until Dax returned.“Too bad I'm not dropping it. So you'd better talk before I change my mind about helping you here and leave” I threatened her and she face palmed without uttering a word back at me this time.“So tell me, Clarissa, do you like Simon?” I asked her again and she groaned for a second time before she peeled her hands off her face and looked at me.“Yes, Ruby. Yes, I
CHAPTER 37RUBY’S POVWe were all finally done with setting up the whole cafe and Clarissa served us all cupcakes, cookies, and a cup of her specially made smoothie just as she promised to treat us after helping her.Then she played “Best Part” by Daniel Caesar on her bluetooth speaker before turning on the sunset lamp that Simon had helped her fix so she could give the cafe a look that seemed like the sun was setting every evening.The atmosphere suddenly felt romantic and it made my insides tingle as I sat opposite Dax from across the table.We watched Clarissa get up to dance before she pulled Sally along with her and we all laughed as we watched them have fun.Then Simon stood up and joined her so Sally returned to her seat where she continued eating her cookies and I watched Clarissa and Simon speak to each other in hushed voices while they danced slowly, hand in hand.I turned to look at Dax at that moment and he was watching me. He probably had been watching me and that made my
CHAPTER 38RUBY’S POVI panted hard as I looked down at Dax and my heartbeat increased even faster before I nodded my head to give him the go ahead and I saw his eyes brighten before his grip on my thighs tightened and he dipped his face in between my legs.I gasped immediately he lapped his tongue against my clit and my body buckled in response before he held me down and licked even harder and faster. It had been way too long since I got with anyone so having him work those wonders on me made me react even more and soon, I was flying up toward cloud nine, and I could feel the end coming soon. I was so close but I wanted more for a while so I held back and dipped my fingers into his hair. He brushed his tongue against my dripping cunt and sucked all my wetness, making me writ beneath his mouth and he sucked even harder, not coming up for air even once.Then he let go of one of my thighs and dipped his middle finger into my pussy and I jolted from the gesture before opening my eyes to
CHAPTER 39RUBY’S POVJust as I expected, Clarissa lost her shit and freaked out beyond measure when I told her about what happened between me and Dax in detail.She was curious to know why I was back so late when all we wanted to do was talk but I knew I couldn't lie. My gone lipstick and almost ruffled hair were definitely going to give me away.So I told her the truth and also confessed about the first time we kissed at the club to her too and I had to snap my fingers in her face twice to pull her out of her shocked reverie by the time I was done talking.“I am so fucking speechless. Oh my God, Ruby! Dax went down on you?” she shrieked and I placed my hand over her mouth to stop her from yelling because Sally was already deep asleep in her room.“You’re yelling and it could wake Sally up” I whispered sternly and her eyes widened in realization before she nodded and pulled my hand away from her mouth. “Fine, I won’t yell but holy shit! how the hell did it happen?” she asked and I s
CHAPTER 40RUBY’S POVDennis was ecstatic when he heard what I had to tell him and he urged me to get more information so he could get to work and snatch the contract from Dax as fast as possible. The call finally came to an end and I tried to sleep but I couldn’t. Thoughts of what happened between me and Dax the previous day and my struggle to make up a plan on how to get more information from him about the contract filled my head and it made it difficult for me to go back to sleep.With a groan, I sat up and I knew I had to distract myself for a while to get rid of thoughts of Dax for that moment.Grudgingly, I got down from bed and made my way to the bathroom where I had a quick bath and dressed up in a yellow sundress after I got out of the bathroom. Then I held my hair up in a tight bun since I didn’t want it down my shoulders and I wore a pair of sandals intending to look very casual before I grabbed a brown purse, placed my necessities in it, and made my way to the living roo
CHAPTER 41RUBY’S POVThe novel was superb and I still couldn't believe I finished it all in hours.It was already 4 pm and Arnold was walking me home while we talked about the book.I was worried he would leave his bookstore open with no one to keep watch but after he assured me that he had staff to do the perfect job for him, I let him accompany me home because I was too excited about the book I read and wanted to talk about it with someone.“I still can't believe it ended that way. I'm so happy they were happy though because that's all that matters to me” I chirped excitedly as we walked and he smiled while listening with rapt attention.“I bet you were rooting for the villain at first right?” he asked and I facepalmed which made him laugh.“In my defense, the writer made him irresistibly hot. I couldn't help but want him for her but that was until he became an asshole toward her” I explained and he nodded silently which made me wonder what he could be thinking about.“What? What's
CHAPTER 42DAX’S POVI was livid, my vision was blinded with pure red rage and I almost broke the phone I held into pieces as I stared at the picture that glared back at me. There was a picture of Ruby kissing a man on the cheek and another of him kissing the back of her hand while she smiled at him so lustfully. What the fuck was she thinking?I had forgotten a few files I was supposed to bring along with me to New York so I had Simon return to Denmark to find them and send them to me via email but then he stumbled upon Ruby and this unknown man and quickly took pictures to show me.I would have assumed they were probably just friends but seeing how they both looked at each other, it was obvious that they were more than just friends. I couldn't help but wonder if Ruby was seeing him already when she let me fuck her hard with my fingers just a few nights ago.The plan was to stay in New York for a few more days but after seeing those pictures, there was going to have to be a huge chang
CHAPTER 43RUBY’S POV“Holy shit, Ruby, guess what I just found out” Clarissa yelled as she barged into my room with her phone in her hand and I wondered why she was looking so shocked.“What is it this time?” I asked her as I placed my pillow on my bed so I could go to sleep and she rushed toward me. Then she sat me down and pushed her phone toward me.Giving her a look, I shifted my gaze to the phone and a video was playing. Immediately I caught sight of Dax punching Dennis in the face, my eyes widened in shock, my heart plummeted into my stomach in fear and I began to have all sorts of thoughts as I watched the video over and over again.What the hell happened?“What happened? When did this happen?” I asked her while tapping on the screen to play the video again with shaky fingers and she sat beside me.“A friend of mine who was at the function sent the video to me because he knows I'm a friend of yours and thought we should know about the fight” she answered and I shook my head in
