Knowing that Dion was shutting me off was getting me stuck in a funk. I kept myself busy, though I would peer at my phone once in a while and sighed when I didn't see any text from him. It had been two days and I knew that there was a possibility that the man was busy doing something else. Though I can only hope that Dion was not doing someone else, then again I should be grateful if he did. Our sexcapades were too good to be true, it was always better to stop while they were still fine. Nothing good can come from office affairs, I know that it was stupid of me to let it happen in the first place.
It was by the end of the week when I finally get a text from him asking if I was free that night. I should say no, but my cock said otherwise.
"Hey," I greeted him at my door after letting him up the elevator.
"Hey," the smile on his face was too fucking sexy and I couldn't help myself not to tugged him into my penthouse. He kissed and I fell into it
"That's ridiculous. Why would you do that? Wait, he had a man in his penthouse?"Zal had just reported that he visited Oscar a couple of days ago, telling me that he was worried that my uncles wanted to get back to me through Oscar. The idea was ridiculous, I told Zal exactly that. But then my mind went blank the moment he said that Oscar had a man in his place. I mean, it's not like I don't have a man. I have a boyfriend now, I have Remy. Though thinking about Oscar with another man... there was a selfish side of me that hated the fact."Yes, a man. Why, cousin? I thought you were letting him go, letting him move on to be safe." Zal looked at me, there was a little snark in his tone. He knew that I was getting serious with Remy and he had told me that he can actually protect Oscar if I wanted things to move forward with the guy. But then I remembered why. His family. Oscar was deep in the closet, actually just like I am. Having to spend time with Remy, it was li
There was something off about Ghazi. He was too eager to get me to move in with him. I didn't want to rush into things with him. My feelings for Ghazi were another kind of concern. It was too much too soon. Though honestly, my feelings can't be held accountable since I should be learning from experience yet I need to."You don't have to go back. You can stay here, I'll get my guys to pack up your stuff.""Um...and let them go through my underwear drawers where I hide my sex toys?" I laughed when Ghazi almost tripped on his feet as he walked out of the bathroom.Ugh. The man looked so hot in his tailored suit. Even when he tripped a bit."Remy, tell me how many underwear drawers do you have?""Really? You chose to focus on my underwear?"He grinned, looking at me through the full-body mirror in his walk-in closet. I kept on watching him getting ready, leaning by the door frame, crossing my arms to my front, acting casual while taking
It was almost one week later when Ghazi surprised me with beach-themed bags of clothes. Robyn was hand-delivering them with a big grin on her face. "It's my excuse to get out of the office and meet you, though I know Ghazi had your measurement on point." We shook hands after she let herself in as if she had done many times before me."Zal told me that the boss man had you move in days ago. Thank you! He's much more bearable now in the office. So, Remy, are you excited about Capri?""Uh ...what?""Oh...crap, I just ruined the surprise didn't I?"I tried to not upset her by telling her that I'd keep quiet. "I can keep a secret or two you know.'"Ohhh...I know I'm going to like you. You and I will go a long way, Remy. You have my number. Let me know if I can be of use to you." She winked. Yeah, her number kind of slid into my contact list the day she called me to take care of my passport for our last trip to the wine country. I never knew people can m
Days after Zal visited my apartment, Dion had been quiet. He had questioned me about him and I had given him a simple answer that he was my ex's assistant. I know Zal was more than an assistant to Ghazi, with the kind of shady business his family was in, I was sure that Zal was his right-hand man. He was probably the one who did Ghazi's dirty work, or as Zal had said he was security.Things between Dion and I couldn't be more awkward. He would watch me at the office, subtly yet noticeable in my eyes. Days were long until I was back at mine before he'd text telling me he was downstairs and I let him up. We'd had sex then he left to sleep at his."So, any news from your ex again? what's his name? you never tell me anything about him.""No, because there's nothing to talk about. He was my ex, told me he loves me then leaves me once things get boring." I shrugged trying to paint an easy breakup while things with Ghazi were far from easy. The man was my f
Since we were back from Capri Remy was looking a bit lost, probably 'cause he was still making himself home at mine. He was also still struggling after having to quit his work as a bartender, seeing that the commute was ridiculous. Lately, he has been working on his designs. I helped him set up a room for his working space. But still, I know I wanted him to be happy and I was confident that he was going to like the new working space that I had secretly prepared for him. I just need to get him there and let him see it.Mornings with Remy have been a bundle of happy surprises. I was feeling a lot since our trip to Italy. Love is on the tip of my tongue that morning when I watch him sleeping peacefully, naked in my bed. My hand caresses his arm and his eyes slowly open and his lazy smile plastered on his gorgeous face. "Good Morning.""Mhmm...a very good morning to you too." He snuggled closer to my half-naked body and inhaled my scent like he always does every damn morni
"Hey, how's work?" I greeted him the moment he stepped into the apartment. Ghazi looked tired. I regret that I was dressed to go out, I didn't want to make him feel obligated to take me out just because he told me he was going to. The man works too hard."I'm good...are you ready for your surprise?" He asked, smiling before pulling me in for a kiss."Aren't you tired, maybe we should just rest for tonight?""Oh, Remy... I would never be too tired for you," He winked and pulled me in for another kiss."What are you doing?" Ghazi questioned when my hands roamed his chest and then to his back. I was truly curious, what if he got hurt earlier? I doubt that he would tell me if he did."I'm checking you for wounds. Look, I know you have guards, but something just felt off with your last call. I just...I wanted you to be safe." I cupped his face and kissed his lips gently. I didn't mean for him to feel guilty, but his face to
Seeing Ghazi was one thing, but seeing how Dion reacted to Ghazi when he was at my place made me feel rattled. I worried about what Dion might do, and what Ghazi would then do to him. It was not worth it to let the two men fight over me. I know where I stand and now with the pictures and the stalker, I am a mess."Hey, how are you holding up?" Dion caressed my arm, before scooting closer and kissing the side of my head. I shouldn't have encouraged him, but I leaned closer to him anyway."Better now that you're here." Lies. It was all lies. I wanted to be alone, but I didn't want to think about Ghazi. Letting Dion here with me was better. And letting him guide me to my bed, and engulfing me in his arms, I felt a tad bit better. If not safer, just because I have someone to hold me.When morning came, he easily told me to take the day off. "Take a sick day. You don't look so good. I'll go to the office and bring you dinner later.""Stay with me then," I said
"He's sleeping. I got Doc to check on him an hour ago and Oscar was given more pain meds just to help him rest. I'd say he's more rattled than hurt. The marks should be better in about a week or less." I paused to let Ghazi ask questions and when he didn't, I carried on."I've been digging and your uncles are desperate, they reach out to Yubkin Komarov. But those Russian thugs are a mess right now. They're struggling internally, we have a good chance of ending all this. You just need to say the word." I offered, knowing though his uncles were the bad apples, they were still family."They did try to kill me. I need to think about this. Give me time. And where are you coming back to the city?""Oscar, he wanted to go to your place, but I know you have Remy there...so I," The words linger, cause I know he still has feelings for his ex. Things didn't end well between them but my cousin means well."Fuck, thanks for doing this for me. But I think you need to s
