“What’s wrong?” Axel asked when he walked to them, a maid in tow. The maid is pushing a covered cart, presumably with the food he ordered for their breakfast. By this time, Rocky and Leigh had become silent, but the warm feeling between them had never dissipated. “What do you mean what is wrong?” Rocky shifted his gaze from Leigh to their son to ask. “You both had this funny look on your faces like you did something bad. What happened? Did you fight or what?” Axel’s eyes narrowed, looking at them suspiciously. “You can not fight, you know. Mommy and daddy are not supposed to get mad at each other.” Axel huffed with his cute little face forming a frown. Rocky threw his head back to laugh. His precocious son was at it again, trying to act like the grown-up in the family. Rocky bent at the waist and placed his hands on his back to lean and meet Axel’s upturned face. “We are not fighting.” He denied the accusation, but his son regards him dubiously. He cast a glance L
Leigh sighed after watching Rocky’s car disappear from her view. He was not even gone for a few minutes, but here she was, already missing him terribly.Until now, she could not shake the excitement from Rocky's surprise. It was not every day someone would receive a truckload of assorted flowers for no reason.Oh, but he promised to court you, says the voice in her head.Leigh drew her bottom lip inside her mouth to stop the instant rush of excitement to her head when she remembered what had transpired earlier, especially the intense gazes they cast on each other and the shared whispers. Rocky told her last night that he would court her and was making good on that promise. She just did not expect it to overwhelm her. Rocky's gestures made her feel like a teenager once again. She felt so light that she could walk on air - her head above the clouds.Then, she felt a tug on her hand, breakin
BLAG! BLAG! BLAG!Leigh woke up to the pounding sound coming from her door. It looked like someone wanted to demolish it.She did not want to entertain whoever was outside her door, but the pounding continued causing a tidal wave in her head. “Coming!” She called out irritably, crawled off her bed, and walked like a zombie to the door. She had a rough night and slept later than usual.It was not all about work. Axel was being difficult last night. He wanted to come to his father’s house, but she got home late, so her son greeted her with a major tantrum.“What’s wrong?” She asked her annoying early-morning visitor, who responded by rattling her door. They were furiously hard and fast that she thought the hinges had gone off.“Have you gone nuts?” Her father’s angry retort greeted her. Adam Micha
“Sir, Mr. Bolton, are you sure about doing this?” Rocky’s driver asked.Ben, the driver, looked uneasy while he watched his employer climb out of the car parked near the entrance of Michaels Enterprises.On his right hand, he holds a placard, and the other hand has the folder that Adam Micheals refused to accept back at the airport. It was by far one of his most unpopular geniuses, but today, he was going to put into motion his promise to earn back Leigh’s parents' trust.He would start with Adam Michaels, aware that this action might result in further annoyance from Adam, but Rocky banks on his innate persistence whichever comes first, Adam giving in or him giving up.
“What did you do, man?” Kade was already waiting in his office when he arrived. Rocky plopped on the couch next to Kade and tiredly leaned his head on its back. “I am desperate, man. The sooner I get my wife and son, the better for my peace of mind.” “But you are doing it all wrong. You are inviting trouble from Michaels by doing this. And look!” Kade showed him a viral post an hour ago. It was him! People are speculating, eagerly wanting to know the mystery that shrouded the entire event. Their curiosity whetted. They started asking questions as to why a well-known businessman like Rocky Bolton would appear in front of Michaels's building. “Some people think you are pulling a stunt like this as a business strategy. You wanted to gain leverage for your contracts.” Kade added, sounding concerned. Rocky shook his head, rubbing his hands through his hair in frustration. “I am at my wit's end, Kade. If I do not act right away Leigh and Axel might be taken away in a fl
They were both panting when they both came up for air. Leigh looked down to see Rocky’s head thrown back and shutting his eyes as he let his face ride her orga*m.It was a huge turn-on. Leigh found her hands fisting Rocky's glorious ink-black hair to drag his face up her body. His lips made a teasing line from the apex of her thighs up to her chest. He nuzzled her neck before his lips finally landed on hers for an ardent kiss. “I love you.” Rocky breathed.Leigh purred her contentment before pushing him off her, reversing their roles. The declaration of love awakens the aggressor in her. She attacked his lips as the predator who wanted to give him full service. Rocky saw her intent, eyes blazing hot coals, and declined the offer. “No.”“But, you haven’t…” Leigh said, pointing to his hard c*ck that needed instant gratification and release. Rocky quickly covered himself before giving Leigh her nightie, undie, and terry cloth robe.“What the h*ll, Rocky? Why are you denying m
Rocky drove fast, pressing on the throttle to accelerate their speed upon learning from Leigh that Axel was crying. “Did something happen?” He asked worriedly, thinking his son needs to see a doctor. Leigh frowned absently at him. “No. He woke up and did not find me there.” Rocky covered her hand with his. Leigh sounded guilty. He, too, felt partially guilty that they had to leave Axel, but not about the talk. They needed that talk. In no time, they reached the Michaels' home. Before Rocky could turn the engine off, the door to the passenger side opened, and Leigh got out. She rushed back to see Axel and stopped when she found her son huddled in the corner of the plant box, bawling his eyes out. Something twitched inside as guilt and shame washed over her. A mother can't help feeling that way because, for a mom, a child's welfare will always come first. “Where did you go?” Adam Michaels cried when she gathered Axel in her arms and hoisted him up. Rocky was hot on her he
“Where have you been?” Rocky slowed down upon hearing the familiar voice of his mother.A smile broke his lips when he saw his parents sitting on the L-shaped couch in the living room, waiting for him.“Mom, dad. What brought you here?” He asked, surprised at the unexpected arrival of his parents. It had been too long since he last saw them.“Are you just going in? Where have you been?”Evelyn Bolton took a long look at her son and knew Rocky had spent the night elsewhere. She walked over to him, suspiciously taking a whiff of his neck.“No trace of alcohol. Hmm.”
