JASON“Why did you come back?” she asked me as we walked, hand in hand.“I realized that I cannot live without you and I must win your heart or I would be forever lost.” I told her.“I don’t know how many times I have to say it before you finally start believing. You have my heart Jason, you always have.”I stopped and turned her to face me“I am sorry I called you a slut and spoke to you without doing my due diligence, I have to admit that I was scared that you would leave with Michael.”“Michael is old story and I had absolutely no intentions of leaving or doing anything with him. I was just finding a way to let him down gently without breaking his heart or something of that sort.” She said.“Ahhh… what a fool I have been. I am so sorry Elizabeth that it took me this long to come to terms with my feelings for you.”“You know, if you had not come today… I had plans to call you and if you do not pick my calls, I was going to go to the club and make a scene but one way or another, I ha

It has been a year since the love marriage between her best friend Elizabeth and her husband, Jason Rodrigues and she was alrea
Mara Sinclair was not a woman to be trifled and she made sure that everyone she worked with knew that. The only person who was actually aware of how soft she was, was her friend and newly wed Elizabeth Rodrigues. Mara was bridesmaid at her wedding and she could swear that it was the best she had ever attended, her friend glowed and shimmered all through and her eyes teared up at the sight. You could feel love in the air, dancing around the couple; a kind of love that had overcome from plenty struggles and difficulties, waxing strong between them.“They look beautiful, don’t they?” Lucien has whispered in her ear; he was best man and the groom’s brother.“Yes, they do look beautiful.” She concurred, blinking her eyes so her tears did not come.“You also look very beautiful in that dress, the high slit is very err… provocative.” He said, his voice dropping to a whisper.“Keep your dick inside your trousers, gigolo.” She told him, rolling her eyes.Granted she and he had had sex about twi
Lucien smiled as Mara opened the door wider, allowing him in. He inhaled the flowery scent of her, allowing himself a moment to think about the last time they had seen; at his brother’s wedding where she had teased and called him a gigolo. He was over all that now but it did not stop the smile from lighting up his face. She had seemed surprised to see him and had taken in his appearance with one sweep of her perfectly beautiful eyes and he was grateful he had worn a really good- looking suit although he had no idea what the occasion was, she looked stunning as always even dressed in that office garb.“If you continue staring at me, I am going to pluck out your eyes.” Mara commented as she closed the door.“Charming as always.” Lucien laughed.He and Elizabeth hugged as she gave him hell about only visiting when he is invited.“I have a lot of work going on but I promise to visit more often.” He told her as his brother came around for a hug.“You look fatter, what has Elizabeth been fee
“I am only going on this date with you to prove to Elizabeth that I do not need a man in my life at the moment and she could stop trying to matchmake us.” Mara said as she and Lucien walked.She had accepted going out on a date with him because he figured there would be no harm in it and Elizabeth had specially promised to leave her alone if nothing special sparked up between them.“You are hurting my feelings.” Lucien said, placing a hand to his chest in chivalry.“Oh please, where are we headed?” She asked, eyeing his grinning lips.They were so kissable, she thought“I don’t know exactly but I heard of a grand opening for a restaurant and I thought we could be amongst their first set of customers.” Lucien said“Lead the way then, mister.”Lucien smiledShe looked so stunning and all he could think of was how much he wanted her very naked underneath him. When he had called her the goddess of beauty earlier, he had not been lying. He had stayed awake the previous night trying to catch
Mara was sure of her mistake when she was awoken the next morning by the incessant ringing of her phone, she groaned trying to untangle the sheets that had wrapped itself around the legs.“Fuck it” she cursed and reached for her phone.Elizabeth had called her thirteen times in the last hour and it could only be because of one thing… she had kissed Lucien!Mara had no idea what had come over her except the fact that it was not going to happen again. She dialed Elizabeth’s number, her heart in her throat.“You are awake, you slimy coward” Elizabeth screamed into the phone.“What is it?” Mara asked even though she knew exactly what it was.“I am coming over to your place right now and you have to give me all the juicy details on what prompted that kiss, the internet is blowing up, you moron.” Elizabeth squealed in delight while Mara groaned.“Don’t move around with the baby, I will come over as soon as I get out of bed.” She told her.“If you are not here in an hour, I will come over. I
Mara was hunched over her table when the door burst open and Lucien spilled in looking as delicious as he was angry. Her receptionist followed closely behind him, muttering apologies at the intrusion and not being able to stop it.“Excuse us, Arianna; thank you.” Mara said, her eyebrow arced at the man.She waited until the door was closed before she spoke, her face showing annoyance.“What do you want?” she asked.Lucien came around to stand beside her, glancing outside the window; to the street below.“I have been thinking about you.” He said, his voice dangerous low.I have been thinking about you too, Mara thought fleetingly as he turned around to face her.His beautiful eyes hooded and showing barely contained anger.What is he angry about? She asked herself.“I don’t see that as a solid reason for barging into my place of work and harassing my receptionist.” Mara said, eyeing him.“You have not been taking my calls, Mara Sinclair and I am not one to be so rudely ignored after wha
“You want it to be a marriage arrangement?” Mara squealed.She had agreed to sign a contract with Lucien to be his girlfriend not his wife and sitting across from him now, she could hardly believe her ears.“Just being my girlfriend will not be enough to satisfy the ravenous crowd seeking for news about us but the announcement of you as my fiancée will be enough to shut them up.” Lucien said, watching her face.She appeared shocked and it was fine because he knew not what he was doing asking her to enter a contract to be his wife.“You are treading a really thin line, Mr Rodrigues. I really do not see the big deal in just stating it out as it is. We are friends and the kiss was exactly what it was; just a kiss.”“You know what the media will do with that news? They will eat it up, spit it out as trash and then proceed to turn you into a gold digger. Your business will be in ruins and I will remain untouched because I can do no wrong to their eyes.”“I cannot pretend to be getting marri
